Shock horror – faced with legal consequences after Customs breech and unpaid taxes in Greece. As we have experienced our yacht being impounded for many months in Indonesia previously, the memories of those times haunt me now as a stern Customs Officer tells me that I have broken the Law, even though I followed the direction of the Coast Guards Officers before we left the boat…
What will be the consequences – fine, impounding, confiscation, or even imprisonment….. Working hard to maintain my inner calm and outward decency and respect, I plead my case but it all falls on deaf ears!
We make our crossing over to from Greece to Turkey and Eli ends up in tears – find out WHY!!!!
We share the insight into the front cockpit of the Portofino 52 and how they are so useful , safer and and create a better lifestyle and living conditions than the conventional designs. We also share the aftermath of a Med storm with 50 knot winds, lightning and rain as the front cockpit is very appreciated by us to keep us safe during this time!
Also we share a spectacular series of clips to highlight how wonderful Turkey is and yet this does not match the opinions we usually get from folk that have never been here. So we share this highlight to show what you are missing if you do not ever come to Turkey!!!
We also discuss the emotional journey of arriving back at your boat, whether it is after a few hours or many months…. We get back to our own Leopard 45 in Rhodes, Greece and are greeted with a filthy and sad looking boat with destroyed tarpaulins, thick Sahara dust and that’s only on the outside. Join us for this exciting start of our next Med season!
We also offer our mental health services and the TUFMINDS processes to help the victims of the Lahaina fires on Maui. So if you know anyone that needs counselling or help with loss, bereavement, stress, anxiety, PTSD and much more, get them to contact us in the comments below, contact u=our Facebook page on Barefoot Doctors or email us directly on drjohnmcintosh@tpg.com.au
The first Patreon sailing event was enjoyed by 4 Patreons who had a wonderful week in the Gocek and Fethiye area – they all claim to have benefitted immensely from the experienc3e and are much more clear on their sailing dreams as a result!!! Join up if you want to have those opportunities…
Our Patreon option starts from only $3 per week, and will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates, join us for sailing events in Aegean Greece, May 2024. Then in Dubai Jan 2025 (aboard the new Portofino 52) join us for the launching party and test sails!!! We are also offering boat build tours with sailing off Dubai to share the progress of the P52 build and provide whatever sailing or life discussions that YOU want us to provide during all of these events….. It is a very exciting prospect and we have been requested repeatedly to give advice, take folk sailing, teach sailing techniques etc etc…. So here it is!!!
Any Patreons will have the choice to join us for these events which are usually about 5 days to be up close and personal with Eli and John and learn from their expertise… There will be sailing trips, excursions and chats during the events and the subjects will be designed to suit the participants that will be there. Patreons will receive all the sailing and talks with the Barefoot Doctors without any cost but will only have to cover their own travel, food and accomodation costs.
All Patreon proceeds go to Exqisit Life Foundation to support TUFMINDS Mental Resilience and Suicide Prevention Program worldwide.
Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey – now physically and in person with Patreon if you wish!!!
Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions!
WHAT IS TUFMINDS
The free TUFMINDS program is released as a smartphone program under the Exqisit Life Foundation Charity, a registered not for profit and requires financial support to fund the free program. TUFMINDS saves lives by intervening at the point of suicide and pulling everyone to higher levels of mental resilience, wellbeing and functioning. it also creates better attitudes, resilience and coping – all very important for sailors facing difficult situations at sea.
