it was so peaceful out here i could just feel  myself drifting off and i allowed it to happen  

hello hello

well hello everyone happy saturday and welcome  to club nautica we are here on the shores  

of the river plate and today we're doing something  a little bit different this lovely couple who  

watches our videos reached out to us and they  invited us to come sailing and this is the first  

time we've accepted an invitation from strangers  but they just seemed so nice so sweet we were like  

okay um so they came to pick us up this  morning at our apartment in almagro then  

we drove out here to the club and yeah it's  just a beautiful day to be out you got sun like  

yesterday was gray and rainy and wet and today  the weather finally cooperated so it's gorgeous  

we're gonna go sailing and we're gonna have a nice  lunch first yes first we need food so let's go eat  

and then we'll go out on the water all right tell  us about the drive over drive was great well we  

just talked the whole way but i mean it was cool  we left the center of buenos aires argentina and  

we're driving for about just over an hour maybe  an hour and 15 minutes passing through these  

neat little i guess you would call them satellite  cities and we came to san ysidro right yeah yeah  

and there was a few different yacht clubs and some  beautiful mansions along here this looks like just  

like an incredible area to live just outside of  buenos aires argentina and yeah i can't wait to  

go sailing i know this is something that your dad  is is passionate about oh yeah he's always dreamt  

of owning a boat so i think he's gonna have his  his best day today and we're gonna love it too

so then it was time for lunch we didn't film too  many english clips because we wanted to be present  

with our new friends mirta and jorge but we  enjoyed a wonderful meal at the club's restaurant  

since it was such a beautiful day we opted for  a table on the outdoor terrace we started lunch  

with empanadas which are these delicious stuffed  savory pastries you can get them with all sorts of  

ingredients but these ones were filled with ground  beef and egg and then for the main the men opted  

for steak and i got the sorrentinos which are kind  of like round ravioli stuffed with ham and cheese  

i got them with the putanesca sauce which is a  tomato-based sauce with anchovies capers olives  

garlic and chilies it's a nice way to spice  up any dish we also shared a bottle of wine  

this time a malbec from mendoza by bolega  santa julia it was a good one now we sail  

are you ready oh yeah what a lot of lunch what  a lunch how's the belly the belly is rotating

so

a  

all right guys so we are now fueling up  we're gonna head out for a day of sailing  

the only thing is there isn't a lot of wind  today so we can't actually use the sails  

we need to use the motor to get moving some diesel  yeah this is like a floating gas station it's like  

a gas station for boats basically first time  i'm seeing this but yeah it's gonna be fun

so

do

low cost

there's my buddy sam just woke up from his  siesta oh so nice someone said such a big lunch  

it was so peaceful out here i could just feel feel  myself drifting off and i allowed it to happen

it was great it's so nice to be sailing  out here i mean we've had incredible views  

of of the city of buenos aires  argentina as we've been approaching  

just shows the the magnitude this is the sheer  size of the city we can even recognize certain  

places like palermo and puerto madero it's  great and there's just been there's a lot  

of other sailboats out here but it just feels  like there's enough space for everybody if you  

don't feel like you're crammed out here  it's just so peaceful and quiet love it

so having spent the afternoon on a vessel yeah  would you ever like to have one of your own are  

you the seafarer you know what i love it um i mean  if i had an opportunity i think i could get into i  

could see how people could get into sailing it's  just there's it's so peaceful out here but not  

only that but just being in charge of of you know  of of the vessel knowing when to put up the sails  

how to switch from side to side which we do not  yeah just all of the all of the you know the the  

little details that allow you behind it the skill  behind it i mean obviously there's a lot to learn  

and i remember they were just saying to us that  you know it took years of of taking courses and  

just practicing and making mistakes and learning  how to solve them yeah a lot of it is probably  

you know solving things in real time you know you  can learn as much theory as you possibly want but  

when it comes to actually being out on the water  you know there's there's real life problems that  

you have to solve and sometimes it's not just  what you read in the book that you end up using

do

foreign

we had a really fun day out on the water once  we got back to shore it was merienda time aka  

tea time this drink you see right here is called  a submarine or submarine and it consists of a bar  

of dark chocolate melted inside a glass of hot  milk it's a classic we also shared a few slices  

of ricotta quince and sweet potato cakes the  perfect way to end the day with our new friends  

we are back in the apartment  

oh my what a wonderful day that was your first  time making internet friends that went very

yeah super super nice people that they uh took  us out for the day they took us out and they  

they're selling boat yeah we went sailing on the  river plate uh just uh facing the city and we had  

a beautiful afternoon it was nice and sunny and  warm and you could not ask for a better day to go  

out sailing and uh we also had lunch with them  and we had a coffee and cake in the afternoon  

so yeah it was just fantastic they they took  care of everything they picked us up they drove  

us to the area to the to the sailing club such a  generous people might yeah it's just the whole day  

was planned by them and it was just so much fun  this is something we wouldn't have done otherwise  

had they not reached out to us yeah so i feel  like we got to experience a different part of  

argentina different part of like the let's say  the greater area of buenos aires yeah in a way  

we wouldn't have have normally experienced  by by sailing wow it's just so much fun
