I already uploaded footage from the Tunisia - Balearics crossing, but I found some nice footage that I had forgotten about. So enjoy some extra sailing :-)
Because we are planning to go back to the Netherlands, we are selling our Dean 365 cat. The last 5 years we lived, sailed, ate, worked and slept full-time on our boat in the Med, and refitted and upgraded it. It's a great liveaboard boat. And off-grid. The only thing we miss, is a vegetable garden on the foredeck :-) But there are big solar panels with their electrics, 560Ah LiFePO4 house batteries, 3000W inverter, full size washing machine, a 12V watermaker that runs on solar, large kitchen, kingsize bed, etc. The boat has been built with thick GRP and double the rigging of most cats, and it doesn't make creaking & cracking sounds at full sea, like many modern boats. Sturdy, strong boat. See also the vlogs we filmed about the refitting and sailing, last 5 years. Enjoy! Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/ Asking price: €95.000,-
We sailed from Tabarka, in the northwest of Tunisia, to Mallorca. The crossing took us 3 days and nights, we caught our first tuna ever, had a good average speed, and we don't like night shifts :-)
Exodos is sailing from Monastir, at the eastcoast of Tunisia, to Tabarka, at the northwestern coast. 3 nights, no yachts at all, and a large group of dolphins that stayed with us for 1.5 hrs. Some nice sailing, and some emotions of being back at sea :-)
We made a one week long trip through Tunisia with a rental, most of which through the Sahara desert. We have seen a huge colosseum, slept in a cave hostel, went to oases, made a visit to the Tatooine Star Wars filmset in the desert, rode on camels and did some other stuff . We had a great time! We hope you enjoy watching it.
At last we go back into the water - splash day! We'll show you some footage of Monastir and Sousse, and we get huge waves in the marina! Sunken motor yacht. For Anja's blogs (in Dutch, but photos are neutral :-) ): https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/blog
We decided to put new gelcoat on the hulls, because the yellowness was really ugly after the white reparations. Never done it, but you got to start somewhere, right? :-) And then we did the antifouling, after which our little boat looked so much better!

At the boat yard of Monastir we close up 2 thru hull holes and make a new one for the watermaker inlet. Anja is busy with gelcoat reparations and I re-shape the damaged keel. Temperatures go over 40 degrees Celsius! Anja's blog: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/blog
We had blisters under the waterline, needed to repair the nut that holds the steering wheel in place, and we needed to shake our heads a few times because of some external stupidity, but we had a good time, working together. I realized I didn't edit our footage of the boat yard in the right order, so i needed to mess up the timeline a little :-) You can read Anja's blogs at https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/blog
Yes, it was a disaster to get a new st st arch on Exodos! Really nothing was right, no 90 degrees angles, nothing parallel, they tried to make it level while the boat wasn't level, and even corrected the wrong pieces of pipe in the wrong direction. It's a miracle the new arch didn't explode :-) The video only gives a representation of the least disastrous moments. Good thing: I didn't kill anybody :D Anja's blogs at https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/blog
In a huge storm the starboard hull slammed on the key, because of which we lost the bulb that protected it. So, now we built a new one from pvc pipe, a toilet floater, fiberglass and epoxy. I dreaded this job, but with trying and trying again, and again, it actually turned out fine! You'll find Anja's blogs at https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/blog
Just a little video for our friends at the boatyard of Monastir, Tunisia.
Replacing the seals of YANMAR SD20 saildrives in the boatyard of Monastir, Tunisia. Not a tutorial, but at least you can see what's what and how everything is held in place. It's actually an easy job! No special tools needed. Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/
In this episode Exodos goes on the hard in Monastir, Tunisia, to get some reparations and maintenance done. Most important things: crack in the keel and leaking propellor shaft seals. And an almost broken swimplatform and arch. Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/
First time in Africa! This time a real sailing video. And visits from dolphins and a dove. We sailed from Licata at Sicily, to Monastir in Tunisia, because we needed to go on the hard for some reparations. Siciliy was no option, because they were waaaay to expensive, and we couldn't work on the boat ourselves. So we thought it was a good opportunity to see something of Africa, where we have never been. And nothing better than arriving on your own boat :-) Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/
We tested and dumped out liferaft, had our newborn grandchild on board, built in a new fridge and tried out the gennaker. Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/
After half a year not being able to repair our Mercury 10hp outboard, and a Mercury dealer also failed, and I wanted to dump it in the deepest sea, two sailing neigbhours in Sicily were sure they could find the problem. And they did. Reasonably detailed video of the reparation. Our website: https://www.anjakeesmaat.com/
New LiFePO4 batteries on Sailing Exodos. One cell dead! Installation plus reprogramming Victron solar regulators and Multiplus.

We have been here for a few months and went to the Netherlands in between. Some drone footage from the surroundings and marina di Cala del Sole in Licata, Sicily.
After touring Valetta, the capital of Malta, and Victoria, at the island of Gozo, we do the crossing from Malta to Licata, Sicily. But first we had to shave the beard off Exodos!
