It's a whirlwind tour through Croatias stunning scenery and an epic sail into Venice. Everyone who owns a boat should sail into Venice once in their lives.
With some trials and tribulations along the way this is a voyage not to be missed.

We were searching for this episode after watching the preceding 26. We are boating people but not sailors & have enjoyed every episode immensely. The photography, the places visited ,the lifestyle on the boat & even the music makes for an entertaining & informative series of programmes that are very professionally produced. We ( my partner is Austrian & I am English) live on lake Attersee in Austria so boating conditions are somewhat more sedate than you have experienced ! Thanks for the many enjoyable evenings spent watching your excellent programmes & we look forward to more. Paul & Astrid.

Impellers and all the associated complexities is why we opted to go with an air cooled electric motor instead of a liquid cooled version.

Hmmm! except we've had nothing but trouble with our electric outboard. Thinking of going back to petrol!

@RiggingDoctor 3 жыл бұрын

Sailing Fair Isle I do petrol for the outboard as well. We have an air cooled Honda 2.3. It’s light enough that Maddie can pick it up and runs fast enough to get us to shore. I’ve obviously been bitten by the electric bug on boats (with our electric inboard on our sailboat) but I’m not convinced with outboards yet.

Very impressed with Croatia. Have heard good things but seeing is believing. Apparently they’re currentlythe only EU country willing to accept US visitors. Of course just getting there is another vast hurdle to overcome. With any luck toward the end of January we’ll be able to begin the process of reengaging with our friends in Europe. Fingers crossed. All the best to you both. Your videos are both highly informative and entertaining. Not an easy balance to achieve. Looking forward to your insights on the Venetians. Felice per te. Ciao.

From Isle of Wight - I enjoyed this video even more than usual as it covered so many aspects of life at sea and on land and connections with family. Thank you. Given the covid testing "crisis" here in UK, the testing process on reaching Venice appeared prompt and efficient. Was it so?

@svfairisle 3 жыл бұрын

Absolutely, we listen to British radio head in hands! We arrived at Certosa marina (having had to change the arrival time twice as sailing conditions changed) They took us to the testing centre at the airport in a water taxi as you saw. We were tested within 5 minutes and had the results after 40 minutes and were clear to return. The Certosa water taxi driver stayed with us and took us straight back. AND there's no charge for this! Couldn't really be more efficient!!

@billhanna8838 3 жыл бұрын

I have put a hose on the outlet to blow the 'bits' out without having to dismantle the heat exchanger , Iv sucked in fish eating the weeds twice , completely stopped any water , Ha sailing , cruising never know what's over the horizon .. Great vid . Beautiful part of the Med. Wondering the price for a berth in Venice .

@svfairisle 3 жыл бұрын

Certosa is a bit more than we were paying in Cartagena at just over €4000 for 5 months, most other marinas around here are double that. Certosa is a relatively new marina and is trying to attract cruising boats most of which don't seem to come this far North in the Adriatic. I think its excellent value. To rent an apartment in the position we have and with our view would probably cost that per week!

Another great video Steve and Judy Thank you so much , did you have to pay a cruising tax in Croatia and how much was it ?

@svfairisle 3 жыл бұрын

Yes there are several 'taxes' you have to pay on entry to Croatia, it depends on how many people on board & how many berths you have and also the size (power) of your engine. Yes they want proof of its BHP! That particular tax is charged for the period you are there and theres a complicated system of prices for various periods. It's not extortionate (I think it was at one stage but they've reined back) We will do a video on costs of cruising at some stage and write it all out.

@DoctorProperty 3 жыл бұрын

Have loved your videos for a long time. Peacefully paced. Just one question - I had taken Croatia of my cruising plans because of persistent stories about extortion and intimidation from some members of the port authorities and police in the area. You make no mention of this so have things improved? There was talk from the local government last year of a crackdown on the more corrupt officials. I would love to add Croatia back onto my list of cruising areas and am hoping you may have some insight into any positive change from an area that had a pretty rotten reputation a couple of years ago. What was your experience dealing with officials?

@svfairisle 3 жыл бұрын

Well the jury is out on that one. We will see what it's like on the way back through and I might rig a secret camera to show exactly what it's like. On the way up it wasn't too bad, but years of working in Africa might have hardened us to that a bit. The moment we came into Dubrovnik an official demanded 150 kuna for 'line handling' I just ignored him and said i'm going to see the harbour master. The Police, harbour master & customs were all fine there. But on the way out the police were extremely unhelpful and rude, no one was trying to rip us off though just making life as hard as they could. I think the trick they're playing is catching and fining people for not come straight to customs or not leaving directly from customs. Anchor before or after and you will be fined. We had to leave in the middle of the night in bad weather because we knew if we didn't they were waiting to fine us.

steve, what is the test strength of your fishing line? 350 lbs + ?

@svfairisle 3 жыл бұрын

To be honest I dont know! The green line I have on my wooden reel is something I took off a hand fishing line, looks pretty strong, that goes to the paravane and then I attach the lure, which came with it's own 2-3 meters of test line so I assume thats sized for the sort of fish you might expect to catch with that lure.
