SAILING GENTLY has around 90 videos from French Canal Routes to the Mediterranean with the companion book having sold over 6,000 copies and the Atlantic Crossing Guide video that has had some 362 thousand views. The Gentle Sailing Route to the Mediterranean has had around 50 thousand views and the book has sold almost 4,000 copies. Closer to home there are a series of pilotage videos about how to sail into almost all the French channel ports from CHERBOURG TO BOULOGNE SUR MER including Le Havre and Fécamp as well as St Vaast, Dieppe and Grandecamp Maisy and lots more. There are also pilotage videos of UK marinas from Eastbourne to Dartmouth and Alderney and then videos about wind vanes and autopilots. My boat is now based in the Caribbean so there are videos about putting her on a ship and the costs involved, as well as which are the best Caribbean Islands and marina costs. You might find 'Attacked by Pirates' in the Gulf of Aden - interesting!

Yes, I know, it was off-limits, you are not allowed to sail through the Grand Canal with your tender as a non-resident..... But hey, we are Dutch, to us 'no' means maybe there is a possibility. And we only have this one chance now that we are here with our sailboat and tender. So we just did it. And it was great, also a bit tricky through the narrow canals with a lot of waves and 10,000 other boats, check out our video of the trip in the small canals. There you can see very well that Venice is composed of 118 small islands connected by 400 bridges. We enjoyed how you could almost touch the houses and saw everyone in the city doing their thing (loading fruit into the boat, transporting guests).
