Check out shop.seethelittlethings.com and find something you like. We know money can't buy happiness, but it gets food in the galley, so we don't have to edit hungry.
Coastal cruising is not always what one thinks sailing life is like. Even on a longer passage that takes a good whole day, there is enough going on to keep us busy most of the time. The reality is that coastal cruising and real passage making is a world of difference.

Who are we?
We are a European couple from Germany (Alex) and the Netherlands (Mandy), sailing around the Med on our 36ft sailboat. 12 months ago we started our journey in Greece with little sailing experience, figuring things out as we go, thinking we know what we are getting ourselves into. Our goal is to circumnavigate the world on our 36ft Beneteau. Sailboat life is super different from land life. It is fantastic and pretty rough at times. see the little things tries to FIND HAPPINESS BY DOING THINGS THAT ARE HARD. Join us on this journey and let's find happiness together!
If you have any COMMENTS, suggestion, questions or feel to need to praise (or scold) us, leave a comment down below and we’d happily write you back :). Of course a THUMBS UP is ALWAYS APPRECIATED very much so and helps us a lot!

What I really do like with you two, is that you shy not away to show mistakes, errors and such. Because that is the reality and you do not hide it. As a couple you work really well together, especially under stress, as it seems. Its never a question about whos fault it is, but to help the one who is in need, no matter what. That is the recipe of pardner success.

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

Thanks, that’s nice to hear 😊 We do fight, just as every other couple, but out there we usually play our individual strengths and don’t get caught in each other’s weaknesses. Makes for a better sail and an enjoyable sundowner ;)

@nicolagandy5934 3 года назад

Thanks again for another great video, sharing the difficult moments along with the good ones. You guys inspired us to bite the bullet and live aboard, and now you continue to inspire and reassure us when we face scary moments out there on the water. You're very generous members of our liveaboard community and I just want to say a heartfelt thanks for that again. Fair winds. x

Mandy singing "I love my life, I love my life" just made me smile and then when the food was in the floor I laughed out loud! You guys have great attitudes and the demeanor to take this on. Great video, very relaxing and fun to watch. See ya!

Not only was it masterfully and beautifully captured but this day felt as though I spent the day with you. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for giving me a reminder of what truly makes a beautiful day. The teamwork among U2 is so pleasant to watch. I miss our limited time together and hope to share a sail with you in person someday in the future. By the way I haven’t mentioned this but the music choices that you make are so perfect. Glad to see everything going well.

@milanspasic2719 3 года назад

I think you really stepped up with this video, both cinematically and story telling wise. I presume you’ve got the gimbal? It helped show the movement of the boat and the swell much better, because the horizon stayed leveled. Also, you are the only sailing couple I know who is not afraid to show vulnerability and inexperience, which makes you very endearing and fun to watch. I’m kind of miffed that you don’t have more followers, while some crappy channels do. Anyways, keep up the good work and continue with this style of storytelling (the opening few minutes was some great editing), it’s really engaging. Fair winds (and yes, get a whisker pole for the genoa!).

Alex check out mini scuba air tank and hand pump on amazon. Lots of people have these for stuck anchors and engines that fall over board...LOL A couple of hundred gives you 10 minutes good for cleaning boat too

Great videos guys! I found you both a few months ago and gradually getting through them all (not always in order) May I ask why was there rope attached to the anchor chain? Thank you 🔗⚓👍

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

Hi Matthew! Yes we have a piece of rope at the end of the chain. And this rope is attached to the boat. So we can never accidentally throw the whole chain overboard :) Thanks for watching!

@johnmayer3433 3 года назад

Concerning your very rolly anchorage at Ibiza, you should try to use a so called swell bridle in the future. It is not difficult to implement and there are YT videos explaining the method. Looking forward to hear about your results.

@alexsrank 3 года назад

Nice video as always thank you guys:) Was wondering why no spinnaker/gennaker thoiugh - I think you would have loved it on the downwind sail like this.... Can be a bit oif drama in 20+ but youi would be fine and you would have flown in 15....

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

Hey Alex, thanks for watching! Yeah the only reason is, we don't have one :)

@davidmoore5021 3 года назад

From all the videos on the Med, the Atlantic should be a cakewalk.

@paulstott214 3 года назад

You really need a whisker pole, a long bamboo stick can be effective and cheap

@VictoriaWargaming 3 года назад

Might want to consider a windvane autopilot - once set and the sails are trimmed it's good to go - though course is subject to wind changes so you need to keep an eye on that.

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

Well what do you know! We actually got one a few months back! A Hydrovane. And we absolutely love it, that thing is amazing.

@VictoriaWargaming 3 года назад

@@seethelittlethings it’s one of the things I think is a must have - I’m trying to decide whether to go cat or monohull and if I can’t use wind vane autopilot on a cat it might be the deciding factor.

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

We have seen some pics of a cat having a windpilot. I just don’t know if you might actually need 2?! Let us know what the verdict is :)

@VictoriaWargaming 3 года назад

@@seethelittlethings ..down a rabbit hole. Looks like you can use them, you only need one, but you should really use an extension on the sail part of the windvane to raise it higher to clear air.

A whisker pole or... a square topsail. Time for the naval architects to revisit two-mast modern rigged Barkentines and such for multi-day passages.

@s.v.gadder1443 3 года назад

Just a personal thing from the military but I'd use a blue light for your nav light, when you use a red light small/dim red lights will be impossible to see... just my opinion

@seethelittlethings 3 года назад

We saw a recent article why blue lights are better and actually used by military. Fully agree. It’s just impossible to find official ones for the lafitte fitting on the nav table. . Recently we installed a multicolor led stripe in the saloon for low lights during night sails. It’s really good.
