Join us as we take our Patreons from Gocek Bay, Turkey to Santa Claus Island and Oludeniz, a specular calm anchorage with high cliffs around that make a paraglider paradise!

We also share another Portofino 52 update with the troubling Red Sea ship bombings by the Houthi rebels that are now stopping ships using the Red Sea. This risks supplies getting to Dubai and increasing freight for many countries around the world. It also was the way we were going to sail the Portofino 52 to the Med – we will have to see if new plans will need to be made… Our engines arrive and the extra waterline length on the hull sterns are being welded in.

We take our Leopard 45 up a narrow and UNMARKED channel that is also not of the charts so have a nail biting episode, knowing how disaster can occur so easily…

We visit Santa Claus Island where the real St Nicolas lived in the 4th century. With some more sailing lessons we take the Patreons on to Oludeniz for a spectacular time…

WE ARE STILL WANTING ANYONE THAT HAS MADE A YACHT INSURANCE CLAIM to fill in our Data collection form so we can make the yacht insurance companies accountable and we can share how well or badly they pay out for the claims made…. WE ABSOLUTELY NEED YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS SO PLEASE ALSO SHARE THIS INFO WITH ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS HAD A CLAIM!

Form is at:

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!
