Samos island Greece - Sailing A B Sea (Ep.078)

In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we're on Samos island, Greece, the birthplace of Pythagoras and as we explore one of the things we do is make a dicey 300m climb to a famous cave.

Samos island, Greece is where Pythagoras hid out from persecution from the government of the day. Samos is one of the Greek islands of the Eastern Sporades group of islands.

Pythagoras was a bit of a revolutionary thinker and his teachings and theories are wonderful. Do a Wiki search and you'll be amazed how bad ass he was.

As early man evolved from hunter gatherer - to business man - math (algebra, geometry, calculus, etc.) was/is one of the great hallmarks of civilization. It's so interesting that three and four thousand years ago advanced mathematics existed at all - and was used in creating enduring buildings through time. I love that you guys take me to places I'd love to go on my own. I look forward to your adventures as much as you do. See you next week!

[jimzois]

Great job you guys too bad I miss you I just left before you arrive keep up the good work

[theaquarelians]

Hi both. Long time no “speak’. Hard to believe it is over a year since you left San Pedro. We watch your vlog every Saturday morning. It’s part of our routine, even when we’re back in Spain on Aquarela 😀Definitely one of our YouTube faves (helps that we know just how nice and genuine you are from personal experience!). Anyway there was a reason for getting in touch. I replaced the element on our calorifier earlier this year. I couldn’t source a 50mm hex either but I was able to do it using an adjustable wrench. Bit of a bugger and you need to be careful not to damage fitting but needs must and all that. Also, with the ‘o’ rings it’s well worth buying a kit. Widely available on Amazon and not massively expensive. Got the idea from Sailingbritaly. Hope to catch up with you guys again when we’re cruising full time. Safe travels and fair winds.

Steps you were lucky! No steps when my husband and I were on honey moon, no white paint, just crumbly and slippery rocks with a big boulder to get over and the fenced off bit only had a rope on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 health and safety no sir! Going down was very scarey!
Thanks for the memories 🤗

[TheSmudgeFamily]

Yeah!! you've changed your opening.. Although I think its a great idea how you start your vids.... that rouge bit of popcorn in Baz's lap always bugged me! (OCD I guess...). Loving the vids and look forward to them every Sat morn... keep them coming..

[dionisishotzias]

Lol my old island I moved out from samos 3 mouths ago I lived there my hole life nice to see that nothing changed 😂

[giorgostoskas]

Great Effor i can see you easily making that a TV Series :D

[DikWhite]

Samos is beautiful and your video confirms this. Did you come across the Iliad Cafe on the waterfront in Pythagoreio? It's owned and run by Sandy Karidis, a New Zealander whose late husband was Greek. Absolutely delightful lady who makes everyone feel very welcome. Worth a visit if you ever return to Samos.

Looking at the deposits on that heating coil, If you have the room to do it, maybe you should consider putting in a water filter on the line between the water maker and the water tank.

Not hard to do find some angle iron that will go on each side of the Nut say 3 sides and go to a welding shop and have them weld 3 bits of rod to the angle iron so it becomes a socket, then use a screwdriver to turn the home made nut to undo the said element .Hope this helps you out lol. :)

[angeloattard]

55mm socket...shipyard or boatyard may have them for rudder prop flange try a stilton wrench capable of 55mm jaw latter method is used with caution to avoid accident and/or damage the heater.

[erichyney]

Ya. Just go down 34th street here in Tampa . Northern Tool has them, in a package. 50 mm sockets all the way up to 60mm sockets. It's all there. Come down and have a look see....

[edrussell]

Don't know if you got your 55 mm socket yet, but if not can you find a machine shop to make one for you? Hope this helps.

[pobs]

Oh that’s the way we went, I guess they have made new paths in the last 30 years

[johnandbernadette]

Try a local plumber, they're the ones that fit immersion heaters. Or try Amazon. Amazon UK have them, 50mm box spanner, even a deep socket would do.

[nooneanybodyknows]

I knew eventually we'd get around to some heavy breathing. 🤣

[TheRealSasquatch]

why not get a piece (or two) of flat steel - 2 or 3mm * 70+ mm and cut a 55mm wide piece out of it (them) with a hacksaw or grinder with cutting disc to fit the heating element? would only take a couple of minutes with a grinder..

[normanboyes]

Another well produced episode with bags of historical interested. You are aware that quite a few of the historical titles you put up as info are obliterated by the close captioned sub titles?

Thanks for sharing and of course I am a subscriber.😀👍⛵️

[Zarih]

I'm not one of them. :) Good episode!
