Hi another great video how much does passage through the canal cost?

Give video how much fuel would you have used between strangford Lough and gigha?

What a great adventure! Was this done last summer? How long did that journey take?

Fantastic that looked like a proper sailing holiday :-)

Fair play racking up the miles. You’ll be ready for yacht master in jig time

Story of our lives. Wind always from the wrong direction to where we plan to go 😢

Nicely done, topside colour looks great! Caladonian Canal next time?

Excellent, a nice sailing video.

Never trust the forecast 😄

Nice to see Tarbert, it's been a while since we were there. Hope you enjoyed it.

Hi, I've been watching most of your episodes now and I'm really enjoying it. I'm buying a Vega in these days and are learning a lot from watching you videos. I've had motor boats for many years but this will be my first sailing experience. Best regards Geir Emil from Norway.

Blue water seaworthy boat. Not much free board so it can be a wet sail but it will sail nicely and safely. Good choice of boats. Fair winds and calm seas

Nice seeing some of the attractions of Tarbert

Story of sailing life. Wind will always blow from wrong direction 😂. We’re looking forward to getting sailing again once jobs finish next week

My Albin Vega 27.5 foot was the best boat I ever had. Mine came with a Volvo Penta engine, but I ran an outboard

Boat?!

Anchor Hotel for the biggest plate of fresh langoustines! We've taken our Vega over to Tarbert a few times and that place never disappoints 🙂

Another great video, guys. Well done.

I am on a similar learning curve with my Hallberg Rassy 26 here on the north coast of Brittany. So I can really relate to what you're up to. 🙂

Good video❤

Just saw a gent go over his epoxy repairs.... to straighten out the patches with a few inches of packing tape. over top ...after he filled the holes. Just smoothed it out with his finger and a block..let it dry and the tape peels right off when dry...much easier and smoother to sand afterward ...I thought it was a great help in filling smallish areas.

Well done Kellie! We went through the Crinan Canal earlier this year and had an interesting experience like yourselves. Would you do it again 😂 David and Helen

Hi man! I am on the same boat as you (punt intended). Literally 1-2 weeks of sailing experience and from all the research I have done, the Albil Vega is what I am looking into buying now. Just quited my job after 5 years, and I am in need of some adventures. I am so happy I came across your channel. Looking forward to seeing all of your videos and reading all the comments from the amazing community I am sure you have built. Cheers! We are in touch

It looks like you went through in 2022? Exasperating when you have to share the locks with selfish people who won't get off their boat and share the work. You could have stopped at the Riverside pontoon for supplies at the SPAR shop. It is about 5 minutes before Oakfield bridge. For a stress free and easy ride through you can hire someone to do all the hard work with the gates and sluices......ie a "pilot"

Great we video you making the way to France lol . I dont mind doing the locks it just takes time. Not nice doing it the rain tho. But yous are smiling and thats what its all about

Was watching that wind and thinking hope you've got a tent! Don't know how far north you will travel but my favourite is Coll for the beaches, treat yourself to a stay at the hotel. I've transited the Caledonian Canal only the once, definitely a steep learning curve but great fun once the initial panic is over. Just putting on your next episode 😁

Locks are alot of work Thanks

Great video Mark and Kellie! Well done Kellie on doing the locks by yourself, shame on the other yacht not even offering to help, personally, I couldn’t stand or sit there and watch someone doing the locks on their own. Did notice the other yacht was from a Royal yacht club.

Nice couple 🙂

Well done guys and well done Kelly

We did not enjoy the canal either - but why did you not just moor up on the rainy day and sit it out? I think we would have hung back and let the "unhelpful" boat go ahead and get a lock or two in front.

Shame about the weather and lack of help on the locks but you both handled it well! Another great video guys! 🙌🏼😁

Sailing means freedom (-ish). Fortunately the canal was closed due to insufficient water when I was near earlier this year - the skipper I'd hired to deliver me and the boat would have preferred the CC but happlily we rounded the MOK instead.

wow Solfar is looking great! Did you paint the deck and cabin top too?

Love this video really shows a learner like me what it can get like out there and leaning also from the comments i have a 25 ft westerly been working on this year so hopefully be on the water next year so need all advice i can get lol

The north and south beaches at the northwest of Gigha were favourite anchoring spots of the late queen when she used to sail up there.

Amazing, you brave sailors! Thanks for your lovely video. Including the eased lock entering. 🤙🏻

Nice video. I noticed you had the windvane onboard but didnt appear to use it. Is it ok?

Interesting out of all the sailing channels I watch, your the first one that's filmed actually going into the first lock of the Crinan canal. Good video, looking forward to the next one.

Beautiful island and lovely adventures! Great video guys 🫶🏻

It’s staggering how beautiful some of the beaches up that way are, and the incredible lack of people makes it a dream come true to many of us who don’t relish crowds and parking tickets. I love your videos, poised to become rather crowded I think. Please don’t start charging for parking though?

Great episode - we really enjoyed it. We were sorry to hear of damage to the boat, but it sounds like an instance of "being against a pontoon is not the best answer". We learned the hard way that open pontoons like Gigha are not the best solution sometimes, but a few years ago we would have been on the pontoon beside you. These days, we would look for a cliff to anchor under.

Well done. Great fun altogether!

I cannot get past videos where people from Britain use the term 'skin fitting'. It just sends chills up your spine each and every time. Why that one country chooses to come up with it's own arbitrary term in sailing is beyond me, but it is creepy as all heck.

Love those movies i buy an old albin vega and started yesterday hope i can make a good sailing vessel from this one . ruclips.net/video/dGyBr4atrc4/видео.htmlsi=5CKTHLAI-XGJeUtS

With a bit of luck I aim to buy one of these during the next couple of years.

Really enjoying this Thank you Stuart in Ireland

Amazing beautiful harbor and surroundings, the view is spectacular flying by drone such .

Great video, beautiful Scotland. Fear winds and following seas 🌊 ⛵️ Greetings from beautiful tropical paradise island Kauai, Hawaii
