Thanks for the share. Planning a quick visit to Croatia in May….love seeing the sights. Cheers 🍻
Thanks so much for your super Thanks guys 🙏😁 can’t wait to hear how you like Croatia 😁
Looks amazing can’t wait to sail there in May. Good to see you have found a sister (Michelle) and enjoying your time with the 4M’s.
Woohoo hopefully it’s Getting you excited for then 😍 she’s just the best we love the whole fam, they really became like family after 5 weeks sailing together 😆
Great video and cool to see some of the places we visited when sailing Croatia in late October, early November 2022. We ended up going with the Savvy-Navvy + Navily apps instead of Navionics, and they worked very well in the area.
Hey Christian 😊 oh awesome, glad you enjoyed and brought back some memories for you 😍 I hadn’t even heard of it but someone else has also mentioned it, so we’ll def have a look into that, thanks for the tip 😄
Love the Criatian Coast and its islands.
Beautiful hey 😍
Great pics again beautiful places
Thanks Shane 😃
Thank you again for bringing us on your adventures! Love the content and filmography. You guys do a great job! Craig (Rochester, NY). Have you ever considered the great lakes (northeast USA) journey? It would be cool to "do-over" some earliest explorers (as long as safe)!
Hey Craig😊 thanks so much!! Thanks for following our adventures too 😁 we never have I guess as we’re still quiet far from that area but we plan to cross the Atlantic beginning of 2024 so I guess once we get there we’ll plan what’s next after the Caribbean 😄 we’ll have to have a look into it 😇
Nice scenes sailing along the coast ♥️♥️🥰🥰
It was beautiful 😆
Living the dream ❤
Pleasant family sailing video
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed 😃
Hello from Virginia in the USA😃
Hey Vernon 😄 all the way in Virginia, USA 🇺🇸 🫶🏼
Love your videos dear
Excelentes vídeos,locais lindos,casal maravilhoso.
Thanks so much 😆🙌🏼
Awesome
Thanks Tim 😄🫶🏼
Getting your grove on now guys. The eps have a really nice flow to them. Wondering if the plan to sail to do a pac crossing back to Aus? If so, just shout if u need crew for any legs 😊
Hey Lucas, thanks so much, glad you’re noticing a difference, been doing more voiceovers etc. we would love to get back to Australia eventually or Atleast NZ. We plan to cross the Atlantic end of this year and I guess we’ll go from there 😊 add us on Instagram @leading.the.escapade if you have it, and we can keep in touch on there 😆
Hey guys, next time you sail in northern croatia we could grab a beer or two, show you some nice spots etc😉👍 cheers
Heya 😄 that sounds great! Hopefully we will again one day, unfortunately maybe not for a while though unless plans somehow change. Cheers ☺️
I really enjoy this channel, thanks for the great content. May I ask what type of camera you use?
Hey Chase 😄 thanks so much! Thanks for following our journey 😁 since we started we’ve used a DSLR camera but that didn’t last long as our gimbal broke, so was mostly go pro in the past and now the past couple of episodes is actually with an iPhone 13 pro believe it or not 😅 and we also have a DJI mavic pro 1 drone 😊
Navionics does the same thing with Sweden and Denmark which are not included in the free trial. Our boat is in a harbour on the Finnish and Swedish border so typical sailing there you will be crossing the border multiple times per day. Sure af it would not work as soon as your device jumped to the Swedish network and that happens often when you are still in Finland. Anyways, we have a plotter but just wanted to test out Navionics last summer as a back up...
Ah how frustrating that must be!! Yeah we also have our plotter but in all honesty we find navionics much easier to use that our plotter, hopefully we will get better with our chart plotter though. Great to have both hey
Tyvm
Thanks Dennis 😄
Lovely and beautiful video. I just got my sailing license in Croatia, and plan to do a sailing trip along the islands. Just one tip for the drone footages, it's better to install a ND filter on the drone camera, which can ease the over-exposure problem when the sun is too bright, especially in shiny summer days;-)
Hey Weiheng 😆 thanks so much! We hope you enjoy some sailing in Croatia, perfect place to start your journey, so many islands and great sailing conditions around there 😍 one thing we really noticed is the swell is always pretty nice Thanks for the tip, we already have ND filters for the drone, they’re definitely a must have 😆 although our drone is getting pretty old now, so it would be great to get a new one hopefully this year sometime. Our battery has swelled up so it’s on the way out 😬
Loved it. What time of year was this filmed?
Thanks Tim 😄 this would’ve been late august or early September last year 😃
😃👍👍👍❤
Thanks Tom 🫶🏼😊😁
😁👍
Thanks Barry 😄
Dalmazia, Repubblica di Venezia
So glad you sorted your dirty bottom out 🤣
😂😂😂😂
So heading back to Aus for summer. Are you going to file anything from there?
Yeah we’re here now currently as our episodes are about 4 months behind 😄 so we’ll be catching up on episodes while we’re back and we’ll just film a few bits and pieces when we do fun stuff haha
👍🎣⛵💯
Thanks Vincent ☺️

Hello guys
Hey Alex ☺️
Hello
Not on Twitter?
Na we’re not, one of those ones we’ve never used 😅
Sibenik pronounced shibenik guys
Hahah yep found that out not long after filming the area 😂
No, Sebenico. All dalmatian towns had Italian names.
Realy nice to see it all again. But please dont complaint about the several costs which are high. You sit on the front raw! Accept it and think on all those people who cant afort it to travel on a very nice Sailing ship.
Being almost a local to sailing in Dalmatia I fully support Escapade's criticism of Garmin's price policy (Navionics is part of the Garmin empire). It is ridiculous! Why should anyone accept such a policy just because they belong to the target group of the product??
You share your opinion while telling the creators they can't share their opinions. Really! There are always people who have more and those who have less. That doesn't mean a person can't share their opinion or has to be silenced.
@@kyles4560 So sorry - I obviously failed to make myself understood. Seems to highlight my believe that the default mode of communication is misunderstanding…
Hey Winnie, I think kyle’s reply is to the comment above your’s. He is agreeing with you 😊 yeah it doesn’t make sense about the navionics does it, interesting to know they are part of Garmin too, I did not know that 😯 thanks Winnie 😄
Thanks Victor. We’re simply complaining because we don’t have a lot of money and can’t afford to throw money at everything that comes our way. believe it or not, it’s actually much cheaper for us to live this lifestyle and live on a boat, than to to live in Australia. our boat cost us less than half the price of the Cheapest apartment you can find in Oz, this isn’t a holiday, yes we get to travel and move around each day but this is how we decide to live. I totally understand of course there is always people less fortunate but I have to agree with Kyle, it doesn’t mean we’re never aloud to voice our opinion that something is expensive. We’re just like everybody else and we’re far from rich 🙂
It is SEA, not water. Water you can srink, and frogs live in water!
What?! Are you really coming here telling me that? 🤣🤣 also if you want to have a go at me for saying something ‘wrong’ maybe you should check your spelling too The sea is still ‘water’
