We Left The EU To Avoid Tax, But Can We Go Back? | S2 - EP12

Part one: https://youtu.be/5BUcdVGP05A Part two: https://youtu.be/b7DlHoD49FA *Learn more about our Orca Chart Plotter: https://getorca.com/?via=therunalife* After 18 months sailing the Mediterranean, our EU VAT Temporary Admission clock finally ran out, so we’ve sailed to Tunisia to reset it. After crossing 125 nautical miles from Sardinia to Bizerte and spending 8 days exploring Tunisia, it’s time to make the 25-hour passage back to Europe. But first, we need to clear Tunisian customs and the coast guard before setting sail across the Mediterranean. We're heading towards Sicily, sailing overnight, battling light winds, dealing with seasickness and tackling a long offshore passage before finally reaching the beautiful island of Marettimo. Our final destination is Trapani, Sicily, where we’ll attempt to officially re-enter the EU, check back into the Schengen Area and restart our 18-month EU VAT Temporary Admission period. ____________________________________________________________ Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure across the Mediterranean. *Find daily content on our socials:* 🖥️ Collab enquiries: therunalife@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifestylegibbon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/therunalife 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therunalife _________________________________________________________ ⛵ **In this episode:** 00:00 - 00:29 - Catch up 00:29 - 03:00 - Trying to Clear Customs in Tunisia 03:00 - 04:30 - Cheap Diesel in Tunisia 04:30 - 07:32 - Starting Our Overnight Passage 07:32 - 08:10 - Coast Guard Call Us 07:32 - 10:44 - Ruth Gets Sick 10:44 - 13:21 - Orca & Lots of Traffic 13:21 - 17:35 - Beautiful Sunset 17:35 - 19:33 - Solo Night Sailing 19:33 - 21:46 - A Spectacular Mediterranean Sunrise 21:46 - 24:19 - Sick Ruth & Arriving into EU waters Subscribe to follow our journey aboard our Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, as we sail the Mediterranean and navigate the challenges of living aboard full-time. #Sailing #SailingLife #Catamaran #MediterraneanSailing #Tunisia #Sicily #VAT #TemporaryAdmission #Liveaboard
