Hi Spud, yes lesson learnt....secure the locker lid before getting in there! Its healed well though. Yes that's the chain locker, water can get out of the locker if we have do have waves breaking over the bow so nothing to worry about.

Haha we love them too (Helen especially)! Don't envy you only being able to get goat, not a fan. Next time we have lamb we'll do a cooking video so Steve can really see what he's missing hehe. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're right Ann it is a bit out of town but the facilities were really good and we were glad of a chance to stretch our legs. We loved the Isles of Scilly as you will see soon :)

Drives you mad doesn't it. We're maybe thinking about doing some of Ireland next year. Gemini is currently in Milford Haven...so close to home so if we do get a weather window we will be bringing her back to the Isle of Man. Hope you enjoyed your season Ann, is that you ready to relax for the winter now?

@sailinggemini yes we've been back about six weeks. Boat is in Inverness. We'll be doing the east coast next year. Ending back in Ipswich. What are you planning next year

@@anncrome1202 we would really like to do Scotland again, we didn't do it justice last year, but we've also talked about Ireland so who knows!

@@sailinggemini Ireland is fantastic.

We found the approach pretty straight forward to be honest but we were the only boat entering at the time, nobody else to contend with! The Mayflower is definitely a good walk out of town but we enjoyed stretching our legs and the weather was good. You cant beat the facilities in the Mayflower though, easily our best yet. The music festival was a great bonus, would have loved sitting on board listening to that with a glass of wine and all for free :)

Thanks for watching Roger :)

We'd definitely go back there Joe, lovely surroundings with a nice village.

Thank you! Yes it must have done Max although it seems so long ago now when we were up round that area.

Hello guys sorry for the late reply its been one of them weeks. We have some really good places coming up to visit Salcombe is next the town and anchorage there is really good , Falmouth is great and Isles Of Scilly. Thank you for commenting 😊⛵

Thank you Lossiemouth town was great but we could only stay the 1 night . The harbour and the marina was well protected and very nice people. Thank you for commenting. 😊⛵

Dartmouth was amazing we could have stayed a lot longer. We end up in Salcombe next because the anchorage was to rough to anchor. Really happy we went in now because it was really good. Thank you for commenting. 😊⛵

Hi Joe. All the places we have coming up in the next episodes our really good and all of them have launch slips even the Isles Of Scilly if you fancy it. Salcombe is next it was one of our favourite towns. Keep Commenting 😊⛵

I will be trying your Baseball cap tip next season. Yes that was the fish & chip shop. Thank you for commenting 😊⛵

Thank You. It seems like we our still getting a bit of winter sun. Thank you for commenting 😊⛵

Thanks Matthew it was a very nice evening when we went through I would not like to hit it in a bad day 😕⛵️

@@sailinggemini I had bad weather most of my way round, 4 dry days in three months. My last leg from ramsgate to tollesbury in Essex, Gail force 7 the whole way and blowing 25knts when I got on my mooring.

@@jcfgh Thank you 😊

Yes I thought that.

Hi Joe we have just noticed that one of the clips has jumped place, nightmare 😕 we better notify everyone thank you for spotting it and letting us know😊⛵️

@@martinbirdiebrain1912 lol I don’t know how many times I said that Corryvreckan 😂. Yes far to far out 😕

Hi Jason we where lucky the weather was Calm that evening we where far to far out 😕. Thank you for commenting 😊⛵️

My memory of going round Portland Bill is that the cliffs were much closer than showed in the video.

@@anncrome1202 Yes Ann we where away out 😕

Hi guys great video. We followed the advice to keep the tip of the 7 meter obelisk stone situated in front or south of the lighthouse in the middle of the red section of the lighthouse. This ensures you are about the right distance from shore. Worked for us. Alternatively follow the 6 meter contour line. Love your posts, keep them coming. ATB Mark X

It wasn’t our best entrance into a Harbour lol 😂. Thank you 😊 ⛵️

Thank you Sail Away Team 😊⛵️

Hi Martin you had a great summer play area we loved it. Thank you for commenting.

Thanks Joe. The views where so good I would definitely go back there. Thanks for commenting

Hi Manxman thanks for the information we will have a look at there anchorages . Thank you for commenting

The Needles was amazing we hit them just at the right time with the sun on them. Thanks for commenting

Hi we definitely think having a bilge Keel has had its advantages going around the Uk you will see in up coming videos where the anchorages are busy and we squeeze to the front with only 1mt draft . But it just depends on what you want to do . If we decide to go out of Uk sailing next we would probably go for a full keel . Thanks for commenting and we wish you all the best what ever boat you end up with . 😊⛵️

@@sailinggeminiThanks for your reply. I’ve been looking at a Southerly as it does give you the best of both worlds with a swinging keel. I was sailing around the med a few years ago in a 50 foot boat for 5 months & it was a right pain at times trying to find somewhere to anchor in busy Anchorage’s. And at the time I thought having a fin keel was a right pain not being able to get into the shallow parts where there was space. Any way I’m enjoying watching your journey so keep up the great content. 😎⛵️

@gaplife3611 Thank you so much for the coffees 🤔 stroke beers lol 😊⛵️

Thanks Spud. We where so happy on the 5th day when everything was working again. I really didn't thing the hooks would catch the halyard but we didn't give up. Thank you for commenting. David & Helen

@derekness7900 we found it a consideration even in our 41ft yacht.

Hi Derek its been a challenge right from the start but you just have to keep going. Tide is the key. Thank you for commenting It means a lot to here from our subscribers. David & Helen

Hi Spud, we've definitely had alot of tomato soup on the way round lol. I would consider swapping Sailing Hjem for their fish and chips but I don't think that Adam and Luke would swap their cheese for anyone!

@@sailinggemini i would think that would cause a major row if you took their cheese away

Hi we loved the band playing at the end I don't know how many times we have watched it . Thank you so much for commenting and taking the time to watch our sailing adventurers. David & Helen

Hi Peter we are glad you're enjoying the videos so far. We have a boat tour video, Sea wolf 30 Boat Tour. Hope you enjoy this and thank you so much for commenting we love to here from our subscribers. David & Helen

Thank you James. I was defiantly not giving up, I cant believe I phoned 5 different companies to go up the mast and no one could do it . We did land on Cowes week so that didn't help. Fingers crossed all good now . Thanks for the comment.

Hello Steve and Annette. We really liked the Isle Of Wight the people were nice and the scenery was beautiful. Just wish we didn't have problems to deal with so we could enjoy it better. I think I might have had a quick pee in my suit lol 🤣 Thank you for commenting and we cant wait to see you's back doing what you love. David & Helen

Hi Ann fingers crossed every thing seems to be going ok now. well done on getting so many sailing hours in this year you looked like you had a nice season .

@@sailinggemini Hi, yes we did. The only real negative was the cold.
