Just came across your channel. Brilliant videos... kinda reminds me of early Barry Perrins (adventures of an old seadog). The on camera chat is great, very informative. I'm about 2 years away with a 31ft bilge from what you are doing so it's great to hear about your experiences, the highs and the lows... looking forward to many more videos.
I just discovered your videos today - great - my boat in the Gironde but no time to sail much for the moment so will follow your explorings with interest.
Hey Steve just found these ,really top stuff with some good tips and advice for a novice sailor like myself.I am also planning to do most of my sailing solo ,so I shall be watching and learning .Thanks for posting and good luck with it all .
Typically it is cat napping for 30 mins with several alarms set, then head out the hatch meercat style to check the horizon for lights, then another 30 mins.After 3 days this is not enough so you just continue through the day as well.Thank God for AIS which i have set at maximum range which is 24 Mins on mine!
Hi Steve. I, and I'm sure others, would really like a few pics of the boat sometime when you're at anchor or on a pontoon, and maybe a tour - if it's tidy enough to show off!
Came across your channel today, watched a few of your episodes, I sail in Cornwall so really got into your south coast stuff, please don’t go the way of some of the other channels, with mass editing, woman in bikinis & all that bollocks ! Look forward to watching more ⛵️ 👍
Good one! Those big ships scare me. I always imagine the crew and captain all down below playing cards with the ship on autopilot. Does your AIS send as well as receive information?
Them container ships are killing seamen every week. They don't care who they hit and everyone knows it - inc the authorities. Where you from Steve? Your accent is familiar.
Great to see you out and about again .we taught your blog was gone quite forever .keep keeping it real .
Great sailing Steve thanks for sharing

What time of year was this? Great vids!!
Hello hello hello !!!! It was late august early September.
Really enjoying your videos. Did you use your radar much to detect the ships?
Hi No i only use the Radar when there is poor visibility due to the draw on the electrical system and i run the engine as well.
Good one! Those big ships scare me. I always imagine the crew and captain all down below playing cards with the ship on autopilot. Does your AIS send as well as receive information?
Hi Yes i kind of think they might be doing something like that or asleep.My AIS only receives but i want to upgrade to a transmitter as soon as i can!
I think Steve sailed off the edge. Where do ships go when that happens?
Hi Steve , What sort of yacht are you sailing ?
Its a Kliever 30 steel twin keeled boat. There are not many about in the UK.
@@wanderingsteve849 I take it you still have it ? me and my wife are loving your vidoes , keep up the good work .
@@JamesSmith-yl5fe Yes i am flying back out to the boat 27th Sept so vids will start up again shortly after that. Thanks for your comments.
