This week we leave Anafi and sail to Santorini in the cyclades. It's a pleasant sail as we test out the auto pilot with great results. Our plan is to sail up...

we just wanted to say thank you so much
to everyone who has subscribed to our
channel we've got just over a thousand
now so pretty cool yeah we've come a
long way it wasn't that long ago that
hit up my dad to become a tents up so he
could get us what was it he subscribed
already and that was to try to get a
custom from now so yeah it's a long long
time ago and long way and here is Avenue
about century me enjoy last week we left
cause a Magento journey to cross the
psyche ladies and visit beautiful
Anchorage's along the way this week we
visit one of our favorite islands
Santorini we get some awesome drone
footage before struggling to land our
drone on the back of the boat we enjoy
our lunch with the view and sail to
another spectacular anchorage in yas
while i've got your head in the engine
can you tell me what you're up to
ah I am just doing our checks that we do
every time we start the engine so I'm
just checking around the engine see if
there's any leakages checking the fan
belt checking the coolant level checking
the oil level and also the sale drive
engine oil level and yeah that's what
yes that's what I'm doing and then once
we start it we'll do some more checks
after all so it's always difficult to
leave so many beautiful places
got to bring her up
a good thing really long enough but
Santorini and Yosef of whites and I
already
[Music]
[Music]
all right so we've gone on autopilot
mode keeping our trial
black five minutes I thought we should
give it a bit more of a go and we wanted
to take you to go to seminary and quite
once we really could
yeah we're by far the fastest we've been
all day and it's way smoother and yep
we're definitely redundant probably
catch a fish t sale would take us from
anafi up through Santorini to ears
Santorini is a dormant yet active
volcano with a caldera measuring roughly
12 by 7 kilometers with two volcanic
islands at the centre due to the water
being very deep and the bottom rocky our
plan was to sail up through the caldera
and drift as we enjoyed our lunch good
11.3 true wind speed
we're going six foot six it's not at the
southern end of Santorini students turn
up into the caldera sun's coming out
a good life for a wins it's gonna say
another word then but I warrant
[Music]
and then we do it all
we pass the red signal
[Music]
ignore the war
[Music]
I'll let you take my breath away
this
ever play
they'll blame you
[Music]
come on baby
I then started to worry how I was going
to land the drone the Cyclades are known
for quick changes in weather and it was
now - rolling to land the drone on the
swimming platform I guess this is when
things started to get a little bit
crazier since I've taken off from the
back of the boat the waves and the wind
had definitely increased and I
definitely knew that I wasn't gonna be
able to land it on the back yep and I
definitely knew I had to catch it
somehow yeah so it was next step in our
plan
[Music]
so yeah I'd never caught the drone
before and making it even more difficult
was the boat was going up and down
because the way is it increased and the
drone was going up and down because of
the wind and I'd stopped steering the
boat so it was swinging around as well
so yes and then we were getting side
Saikat so I was swinging this so we
really made a mess of it and then I
guess it'll show but trace does catch it
and I was really really pumped I was
like yes we've done it no worries
yeah and then doing explain what happens
after that
[Music]
well we'd as we've said never caught it
before so we weren't really sure what to
do and Jase decided it'd be a good idea
to turn it off at the remote which then
calls the drone to go into overdrive and
try and lift itself up so yes early yeah
sorry it was trying to go to home which
makes sense now that I've thought about
it at the time I just thought the fact
the tracers holding it it would be fine
it would I could just turn it off with
the with the button but yeah you were
holding it and what happened well trying
to take off yeah MARY POPPINS
yeah it was life going off at a serious
serious right it was pumping out revs
yeah making a funny sound like so then I
dropped the remote and you'll see just a
slight look in my face it's a bit scary
then I grabbed it as well as tres and
holding it down and it's still lifting
and then trace manages to what I hand
over and she tries to turn it off
didn't work through the blades yes
through the blazing work and then she
had to finally take the battery out so I
really screwed things up after that
excitement it was time for a drink and
lunch we floated in the waters off
Santorini and took in the Magnificent
scenery all right babe yeah tell us a
little bit why coming back to
Santorini's it's special beep well we
were here about 12 years ago on holidays
and I remember saying to you at the time
I want to come back here one day on my
own front and I never really actively
kind of stuck to that goal in particular
but we actually got here so
just be careful what you wish for you
say alright well Santorini was a great
spot lunch but apparently so an hour to
see us
say now
[Music]
Horowitz coming into EOS we're gonna
anchor in engineering which is at the
southern end to live body hopefully
that's what protected
come on see maybe Santorini in the
background so
so we glad to get there and Ankara will
show you what it looks like
[Music]
we're in manga nari Anchorage here on
Yas Island and we've had a really good
night's sleep tonight so I just wanted
to give you a bit of info about the
Anchorage if you're looking to come here
for us it's been really good a little
tiny bit swelly later on through the
night but overall it was really good
next week we explore Miller's and
witness one of the best sunsets we have
ever seen
[Music]
