After an interlude of a few months, I`m letting you all know that I`m still here and still sailing. This episode has a lot of me sailing with my children (Alice and Sam) and my father.

IT`S ARRIVED !! I`m finally a published author - Episode 27
Просмотров 1473 года назад
After two and a half years of working on my book, this week it has finally been published. Originally titled Walking with Legends, but changed due to sounding too big headed, it is now titled Short Walks in Cornwall - with each walk introducing a traditional Cornish story. This is my collection of eight short walks in West Cornwall which are all inspired and based around a local Cornish Legend....

In this episode, I explain how I`ve stored the emergency tiller for quick usage and show how to fit it, as well as fixing another water leak, cleaning ropes and drying sails - plus a little bit of live-aboard cooking in the depths of a Cornish winter
Marine Cuisine (Pasty`s and more) .. Episode 25
Просмотров 2403 года назад
After a few requests, I have put together a video of the sort of food that I find easy to prepare (and eat) on board my 33ft Moody. I am far from being even a moderate home cook, but I haven`t starved over the last 14 months of living aboard, so I hope that this will give you an insight into how easy it really is. Plus there`s a section on every Cornishman`s favourite food - the humble pasty. I...
The Reality of live-aboard life - Episode 24
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 года назад
This week has been more about boat life than sailing (although I`ve still got out twice). In this video, I`ve tried to show a little more of the reality of living on board a boat, whilst still trying to get out sailing, walking and starting work again! A bit of cooking, a bit of cleaning the boat through and a bit of rain!
Sailing through lockdown .. Episode 23
Просмотров 5533 года назад
This week has seen the beginning of our second national lockdown, but fortunately (for me) this time we are still allowed to go sailing as long as we return to our home port. So I`ve taken advantage of this and in between the rain and storms I have had three great sails. I hope that you will enjoy watching
Autumn Storms, but still out sailing and walking - Episode 22
Просмотров 6583 года назад
This week has seen the Autumn storms arrive with proper lack of weather in between. However, I`ve still been out sailing with family and friends and have got some good walking in both in Cornwall and up on Dartmoor with a good friend. The rain and wind has also allowed me to get on with a few of those domestic chores which also need doing when (like me) you are a live-aboard.
ANNIVERSARY EPISODE - I`ve been a live-aboard for a year! ... Episode 21

86 NAUTICAL MILES - Episode 19
Просмотров 4153 года назад
This week has been great for me. I`ve been off for my first proper solo trip, sailing 86 nautical miles with a distance from shore of around 13 nautical miles. I also had a little incident with the engine (lost drive just as I left a mooring) but all ended well. This video is pretty much all sailing, so sit back and I hope that you will enjoy (as much as I did the sailing).
COLLISION ! in the harbour, thankfully not me. Episode 18

This weeks upload of my life as a live aboard, has me rudely awakened by a tanker collision in the harbour. Along with the two storms that have hit Cornwall, Mum`s birthday, friends visiting and wild swimming, I`m lucky to have gotten out sailing twice (but it was good on both occasions)

Splendid film. Happy days indeed
Thank you
Looked like an amazing trip Si, great to film and take photos of these moments to look back on 👍
@@nickvage8777 it was great, catch up soon
Memorable indeed, time well spent with family, you just can’t buy it. Well done! Barbara loved the photography, extremely impressive Simon. Love Tim and Barbara xx
@@barbaralobb5622 thank you both, it was a lovely time and very precious for us all. I hope to see you soon xx
Another wonderful vlog and always great to meet you on the water. What an enviable life you lead ❤
@@clivepearce5357 cheers Clive, hope to see you out there again soon
I’m pretty sure you had a great time with your family. Priceless moments together.👍
@@zoltantajti2128 it was great and you’re right, they’re priceless
Bloody Ansum
Halcyon days :) Awesome :)
Good to see another video Si and great to see you making the most of the nice days on the boat - nice DIY too, speak soon 🙂
Cheers Cuz, see you soon
Great to see you back, I look forward to the next video and the coming alongside single handed.
Thank you
Good to see you back :)
Thank you 😊
Nice to see you back Simon 👍
Thank you, hopefully lots more this year
Hi Nice to see you back again on water. 👍👍
Thank you, hope to be more regular this year
Could you do a video on single handed docking / picking up a bouy for those of us new to or contemplating single handed sailing.
I’d be delighted. It’ll be a little while, but I will put up how I do it (remember I’m a happy enthusiast though!)
@@vagewalkingandsailing-mybr1117 No worries, I'm the same, I think the majority of us are, I wouldn't be watching your channel if you were one of the self proclaimed aficionados 😂
Great to see you guys out on the water and about out stunning coastline again :)
Brilliant your back looking forward to your adventures 👍
Thank you Paul 👍🏼
Loved that Simon. The boat is looking lovely. Tim says that it "takes him back"!
Thank you, hope to see you all soon xx
Nice to see you back Simon, looking forward to more.... 👍
Thank you, hope you’re well
Good to see you back in the water. We've missed you! (And I've got married since your last video!) x
Karen, that’s brilliant news, I’m so delighted for you. That’s made a great day for me even better 😊
We're looking at buying a Moody 33 to live aboard and your videos have been really helpful! How do you find the head height in the main saloon?
Hi Scott and Kathryn. Firstly, good choice, they’re fantastic boats to both sail and live aboard. Height in the main cabin is a little tight. I’m nearly 5’11” and I can stand when I’m cooking but have to dip a little as I head forward. I have to say though, I’ve been living on board for over 2 years now and I haven’t found it a problem. Any questions feel free to ask
Nice job with the mousing lines. I've just bought a mark 1 Moody 33cc (1977). First purchase has been a Planar diesel heater and a calorifier. Like you, I'm a live aboard and it's taken me 3 years to master the condensation challenges on my Colvic Watson. As you have no heating, how do you manage to keep clothes in those lockers in the aft cabin from going mouldy?
Hi Michael, great purchase getting your Moody, I’ve found they’re really superb boats and ideal for living aboard. Strangely I haven’t had a problem with mould (other than a small amount on the headlining). This could be because, even in the winter, I sleep with the washboards out so there’s lots of air circulation. On the odd night I’ve closed them I’ve borrowed a few humidifier. Enjoy the boat and any questions please feel free to ask
@@vagewalkingandsailing-mybr1117 Thanks Simon. I'm looking forward to my first sail on it - it's currently lying in Dublin and my home port is Coleraine, so I'll be looking for a lull (several lulls, realistically) in the weather before going anywhere. Keep up the good work with the videos...
@@michaelcuthbert3022 the first sail will be so magnificent. Enjoy
Good to have another episode, Simon! I was only asking after you to Mark P the other week. And he said he'd caught up with you over a beer🍺!
Thank you Karen, yes seen him a couple of times recently. Hope you’re well and see you soon
So glad to see another episode. I got to say, your boat is really fantastic. Thanks for having us along for your story.
Thank you so much Ed, thanks for joining me 👍🏼
Idyllic, Si. Nice job with the cleaning!
Thanks Barney, hope to see you soon
Great to see you back Simon👍
Thank you Mike 👍🏼
Brilliant, good to see you out sailing again.
Thank you 😊
Great to see you back. The boat buffs up beautifully, what’s the magic potion? 😊
Hi Dave, thank you 😊. Don’t use anything special. I start with Polarshine 35 and finish with Autoglym. (Plus plenty of elbow grease) Keep well
Hey there, me and the family have been watching your videos and enjoying them! We are based in Portscatho with a small yacht in Percuil. Where was the overgrown church and bike trail from this video? Thanks
Hi Chris, thank you for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying them-I’m hoping to get another up soon. The cycle and the Church are in two different places. Firstly, the cycle is basically on the Bissoe Trail with some of the road cycling on the road from Bissoe back to Falmouth. The overgrown Church is at Merther ( I’m sure you probably know but this is roughly between Tresillian and Ruan Lanihorne - which is where the bridge was). Hope you can get out sailing yourself. Thanks again 👍🏼
@@vagewalkingandsailing-mybr1117 I will keep an eye out for the next video. Thanks for letting me know where they are, I now have a couple of places to adventure with the family. See you on the water hopefully!
well done, a great achievement!
Thank you Tracey 😊
Congratulations and best wishes with the launch of your walking book. If we ever find ourselves in the area I’ll get a copy and explore.🚶🏻
Thank you Paul, and if you do find yourselves down here, I’ll happily show you around
@@vagewalkingandsailing-mybr1117 Thanks Simon, I might hold you to that.😁
👍
Congratulations, well done!
Thank you Frank
Great film Simon, love the beef stew and of course that emergency tiller. Wales opens its gates to us next week so I’m full of trepidation about what I’ll find when I get to Pwhelli. I hear our mast light is still above water!! 🙏🙏😂. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Philip, I have to admit the stew hit the spot that night 😊 glad to hear your mast light is still above water and I hope you can get there soon and have some great sailing. Keep well 👍🏼⛵️
Hey Simon! Good to have another wazzon update! Did I spot a whisky 🥃 being consumed with your mushroom bruschetta?? x
Hey Karen, thank you and well spotted-I might have poured myself a wee dram 😊 Hope you’re well x
My brother has just bought a moody 33 with aft cabin, but he doesn't have to go outside to get into it. It has a walk way under the deck to get into it. Only thing is you have to duck to get in and I'm only 5 foot 8. Very nice boat but it's not been used in 8 years and needs some work and modernising.
I looked at one with the same set up. Adds a good extra (small) bunk but as you say you do need to duck. The aft cabin is more spacious though, so there are trade offs. Hopefully he’ll enjoy doing the work, I found it the perfect way to get to know my boat
Hey Simon, Ive missed your uploads, it’s been a while.Good to see you doing well and getting through lockdown. Hope you can get out sailing soon.
Hi Paul, thank you. Been busy working (didn’t realise how much going back to work gets in the way of having fun!). Getting into a routine now though so hopefully will start to get back out on the water. Hope you’re well
👍
Congratulation on the first of many, 👍
Thank you, yes hopefully the first of very many 👍🏼
Great video Simon, hopefully you get to NZ someday 👍
Thank you Cliffo, that would be great-love NZ
Thank you that was Brilliant, sorry it’s taken me a few days to watch it. I will be trying out the secret pasty recipe as soon as possible. You need to get some shares in Colman’s 😂
😂 yeah I do get through the mustard (hazard of so many fry-ups!!). Glad you enjoyed, and hope you make some yourself. Keep well
Great vid Si, I have a question: Do you ever buy pasties and if so which is your favourite? Or are there so many members of our family that make them and it’s been so long since you bought one, do you no longer have an opinion on it?
Buy one!! Wash your mouth out Cuz 😂 I’m not sure where I’d get one. Definitely a small producer (Mary’s or Pip’s). You’ll have to come aboard for a lesson 👍🏼
Oh how I wished my boat had an oven, can't wait for lockdown to end and warmer weather too.
The oven is a saving grace. Cooks and adds heat to the cabin. Hope you can get out sailing soon-I’m feeling withdrawal symptoms!!
Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make a proper Cornish Pasty. Since the start of January I’ve been on a strict diet trying to lose the lockdown weight. As soon as I’m back on normal food I’ll be trying out your recipe and packing one into a rucksack when I go for a walk in the Lake District. You’ve got some appetite, after you’d made your gammon meal of was half expecting your Dad or lad to be sat across from you😀. I was only thinking about you yesterday wondering how you we’re getting on as a number of weeks had elapsed since your last episode. I’ll look forward to your pasty and your next episode. All the best.
A pasty will be great in The Lake District, I hope that you enjoy. After watching it back, I realised that I do eat quite a bit, but in my defence I’ve been walking 10 miles a day as part of my job (hence the lack of videos) and only having one meal a day. Hope you enjoy your walking and pasty and I’ll post another video soon 👍🏼
Thank you so much for the "secret formula". All the other foods looked delicious too. Try to enjoy your time (I know it's not easy now) and take care.
Thank you and not a problem. Hope to get some sailing soon . Keep well
Good episode mate. I saw an ad for a boat very similar to yours down Penryn way. Glad you're still onboard. I haven't been for a sail since the end of November. Starting to get a bit itchy :-)
Thank you Martin. Definitely still on board and enjoying it, but will be glad when this rain stops!! Like you, I haven’t been sailing since mid November-a weird feeling that I do not like. Roll on a day off that coincides with good sailing weather 👍🏼 keep well
What is your boat's name, Si? I seem to have missed that. Nice vid and so good sailing. Happy for you!
Morning Ray, she’s called Sheer Perfection. I had thought of changing it but it so sums up how she treats me that it really does suit her 😊
I've loved watching all of your adventures throughout this last (very strange) year. You said you're back working again. Is that at Porthpean? x
Hi Karen, lovely to hear from you and glad you’ve enjoyed my little adventure. Not back at Porthpean (although that would be nice), instead I’ve managed to pick up a short winter contract with the Post Office (and doing more walking than if we were back leading groups on the moors!!) . Take care x
Nice tan you're working up there, Si! Hell, lockdown and all, you're better off than landlocked me! I envy you, Sir!
Thank you Ray, I have to admit that a lockdown in Cornwall is the best place to be lockdowned ! May have to think about some work at some point which is going to play havoc with my messing around on the water! Thank you for following and I’m hoping to get another video up soon. Stay safe in this latest lockdown
Stumbled upon your videos yesterday. Delighted to find another Moody 33 Mk 2 owner. Great videos in wonderful location. I visited Cornwall myself from South Wales in 2020. What a fantastic sailing area. Look forward to seeing more of your videos in 2021.
Thank you Stephen. They are fantastic boats and glad you made it to my corner of paradise (as I hope to head to yours when time and tide allow). More videos coming soon. Happy New Year and fair winds
Happy Christmas from Germany, nice Moody 33👍
Thank you, and a Happy Christmas to you, or as we say it in Cornwall “Nadelik lowen”
After two days of painting ceilings and prepping walls for papering life onboard looks pretty attractive. Big yes to the pasty lesson. where are putting your tree and how does Santa get to you?
Wozon Dan. Definitely for the pasty’s (you did suggest it a few weeks ago). The tree that I had last year did just what I expected-just died on me!! Think I may use seaweed instead. As to Santa, I hope he finds a way 😊
