Piracy in the Aegean Sea was a sophisticated operation that involved a network of pirates, merchants, and other collaborators. The pirates had bases on various islands and the mainland, from where they launched their attacks. They used fast and maneuverable ships, armed with cannons and other weapons, to overpower their targets. Once they captured a ship, they would loot its cargo, including money, precious metals, and slaves. They would then sell the loot to merchants and other traders, who were willing to buy them at a lower price.

Carl and Jenny
Hi and welcome to Carl and Jenny Sailing Adventures. We are a married couple from England. In November 2017 we changed our regular lifestyle for a life upon the waves. We sold up almost everything we owned and bought our live aboard yacht, a Bavaria 47 named “DREAM”. We are breaking free of the traditional lifestyle, and creating a sustainable life cruising around the seas, perhaps the world one day. If you are thinking/hoping of doing something similar in the future subscribe and follow our channel. Let us make the mistakes so you don’t have to. Watch our earlier videos as we go through training, theory and practical and some of our day to day adventures. Follow our boat buying process and the issues that can have. We bring you regular videos and occasionally put out live chats where you can become involved. Thank you for taking time to check us out. We hope you become one of our subscribers. Carl & Jenny
