    Well done gentlemen; a great trip with a noble cause. I'm a cloth and stick sea dog so was interested to see things from a power position. The Scottish west coast are my favourite waters but the southwest coast and the Irish sea all have great appeal.
    Regards, Rob. 👏👏👏

      Thank you Rob, we certainly did enjoy the Scottish west coast and particularly Islay. Phil

    Great entertaining video. For us that live in the South Pacific (Fiji) I would have appreciated reference to a chart to show the passages, plus I would have loved to know more details about the boat, the engine, genset, galley etc etc. But how I wish to do a trip like that. Its on the Bucket List. Thanks for sharing.

    Good entertaining and informative video. Nice boat too. I hadn't heard of Rhea boats before this so I will check them out. Having been on a few boats I now know I prefer a boat like this with a hard top and cockpit doors to keep out the elements. I like an open sports boat too but we rarely get the weather to enjoy them in the UK. Phil's idea on the website about getting the biggest boat he could afford was I think the right one:-) Good stuff guys:-)

    • @philipdavies935
      @philipdavies935 Год назад +1

      About £5600 at an average of £1.14 per litre

      Actually Kevin I found this reply from a year ago which more accurately answered the question.
      5337 litres, 42lph, £5,558, £1.04 per lire, engine(s) run time 127 hours, Average speed 14 knots, 1717nm hope that answers your questions. Very best Phil Davies

    I wanted to like this video, but I found the style of it grated with me. Looking at the comments though, it seems that I'm in the minority, so I guess my comments can be taken with a pinch of salt.
    The music seemed to me, jarring and intrusive, and the commentary style left me feeling detached from the narrative. I think a better choice would have been to include day to day footage of you helming the boat, and the conversations that took place, even some of the minutiae of everyday life aboard, so we could more closely share in your experience, as it unfolded. Instead, it felt to me, more like a feature in a holiday show, or an advert.
    I do however respect your spirit of adventure, and the time and effort put into creating this video, and the subsequent sharing of it.

      Hello, thank you for your comments and feedback. A lot of people find myself and Nigel annoying in real life!! The narrative was edited from our audio book so don't buy that, and the footage we eventually ended up with was as per. We were sometimes 'otherwise engaged' and therefore missed a few opportunities. If we ever do it again we'll make a better effort. In truth we did it for charity as per the links above so I suppose it might have ended up as a bit of an 'adver't for that reason. Either way you can't please everybody, but I'm grateful for your final sentence,. Phil
