Thanks! My English is still in progress and I'm learning a lot by making these videos, because I can refine the accuracy of the terminology I use. Also, it might be useful to others who are in my same position..
I'm so pleased to see Laura in good hands. I knew her well in the late 90's when Gale Heard used to win all the Old Gaffers races on the East Coast in Essex , Suffolk and Kent. My old 1870 Emma of Bosham (I still have her) was fast but not as fast as Laura. Fair winds.
Gayle Heard was my dad. We sailed a lot around the East Coast. Great to see her being so well looked after and enjoyed. 😊the cooker still looks the same
It was lovely watching your passage and hearing your commentary. I particularly enjoyed the ghost story. I hope you don't mind if I adopt it as I enjoy telling a good story. And I am the owner of a Morcambe Bay prawner, Strumpet, one of the GRP hulls taken from the mold of the William Priestly. I go back in the water in 12 days. Cheers.
A lovely video, very well edited and excellent choice of music, AND what a lovely lovely boat. In my 20's I used to sail on a Falmouth quay Punt called Piskie and also on a Bristol Channel Pilot cutter, Marguerite T. Happy days.
Great video Andrea, you’ve got the touch! 😀 This is a brilliant crew advert for Laura. We are planning to sail to Isle of Man this year maybe we can make the sequel. Best wishes, Mike
It had its ups and downs, but overall it was good. My only regret now, is that I was too young to appreciate that I was actually partaking in living history.@@andreafabi4135
Since completing my day skipper some 10 years ago, I haven't seen many sailors using dead reckoning. I occasionally do it for enjoyment, like when I navigated a couple of legs between Croatia's isles last year without gps. But dead reckoning now is somewhat of a lost art. Most sailors rely on modern technology for accuracy and convenience.
What an awesome little film.
On all vessels you don’t do shifts, you do watches!!!! You don’t go down stairs, you go below.!!! Great video. More adventures please. Capt John.

Mike was telling us about a special green sail...

Thank you for showing us this gorgeous boat. We see them but we don't see them functioning. Fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
It was the. first time for me as well on a classic boat.... it was a great experience!
Beautiful
Great video Andrea, I certainly enjoyed sailing her back to Bangor. Hope to meet up with you again.
Hope we can sail more on her!
Great video, Lovely boat, and yes more stories please.
More to come!

Thanks a lot! I'd love to sail a Bristol Channel Pilot cutter one day!
Classic lines and perfect video of her in her element.
There is no need for music just record the natural sounds of the sea and wind.

Sure Mike I'd love to... Is it just Laura or other boats as well?
Wonderful Andrea. Thank you. Gary in japan
Circa 1974 I owned and worked May Baxter FD82. Probably one of the last blokes alive that worked a prawner out of Jubilee Quay, Fleetwood.
How was it? I guess hard work when the weather wasn't great?

No dead reckoning! Lazy and set for trouble later!!
