Really enjoying your "cruising guide" videos. The focus on sailing is refreshing, and the humor is a perfect fit. To me, an ear-to-ear smile of pure joy is much more pleasant to the eye than any bikini.
At 20:23, nice shot of a Django 770 by Maree Haute, same shipyard that built our boat in Concarneau (Brittany)... It’s a small world! Love thes videos 😎
Just found your channel and I'm hooked. Great content with navigation and pilotage hints. No bikini required, your lass clearly loving it. Narration is great and your sense of humour too. Sounds like the harbour master heard your accent and assumed you had nicked the boat!🙄 He called plod to check you out! 🤣
Hi Nick, thanks for your kind words. Glad your hooked, that’s my plan 🤭. The harbour master was so chilled though he was sleeping on his feet 😂glad to have you onboard mike
Another enjoyable trip to watch, thanks 👍 Hoping to head to Campbeltown in the next few days, your video gives a great “heads up” Fair winds and calm seas 😊 Steve
Watching your little fine "caravelle" cavalcade the waves is amazing. Your sweetheart surely knows how to enjoy it and in the process makes me envy her. I miss the sea, here landlocked in Ontario, Canada. I hope you are enjoying the single malts! ( that also makes me jealous). Obrigado marinheiro.
Hi Alvaro, I will do my best to keep you reminiscing but you should get yourself an order of a nice malt delivered and you can really enjoy. Thanks for being onboard mike
just back after a week in the Clyde and remember thinking it was a coincidence, while walking around Campbelltown that a boat had the same artwork and name as the one from RUclips that is based in Conwy. We were at anchor in the bay when the poor weather rolled in though the sail in was legendary and the sail over to Aran the next day was amazing too. The forecast insisted we have a lie in and set off after lunch - amazing week.
Thanks! I really enjoyed that trip. It brought back many happy memories of when I worked in the West of Scotland 30 years ago! It's true Ailsa Craig does seem to stalk you. Keep it up.
Suggest getting to Rathlin Island next time. I keep my boat there in summer. Friendly and always lots happening on the water and off in the summer. Also good jumping off point for the Western Isles of Scotland. However, be aware of 7 knot tides through Rathlin Sound and come well stocked with essentials as island shop is expensive and opens limited hours.
Another great episode of total joy, you are a great team and your editing is perfect 👌 I would usually say fair winds but you handle it all so well. Looking forward to the next 🏴☠️⛵
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed my sail from Ireland to Scotland with you. Looking at the conditions you had, I know it would have been as relaxing, in reality, as it was virtually. I'm definitely inspired to work on getting my strength sorted so's I can get my old tub down the Bristol Channel. I expect there are plenty of sunny days left that are offering a decent breeze. Thanks for the video..
Pure brill vid and fantastic narrative, you always make laugh (loved the " poke hole in cloud" bit 😂😂😂 Where after Cmpblton up Clyde or round MOK? Call in to Millport for a pint in Tavern bar if you common up this way, I might have one with you. Love your vids👍👍👍
@@sailingcosiloveit Target my favourite wee so end getaway place. Supposed to depart Fri for cruise to Orkney & Shetland via Caledonia canal but holding back til Monday due so unfavorable forecast. Enjoy the Clyde.
Just found your videos, and enjoying the different approach using commentary and no bikinis! One comment - you keep referring to cable ferries but there are no cable or chain ferries in the Firth of Clyde! I noticed your charts are also marked with cable ferries, and that makes me wonder what charts you're using... We'll be setting sail from the Gareloch in a few weeks so we might see you around. Cheers, Alistair (Moonshadow of Kip)
Hi Alistair, ye I’ve recently learned they have no cable or chain. What I’m reading on C-map is their passage route. Will probably still see them as a fixed route boat just not as dangerous. Regards mike
Great video! How far are you going north? Scotland is a beautiful sailing ground. Your trip is bringing back great memories as we spent 3 years sailing the West coast. The place gets into your soul.
Hi Craig I would love the place to get into my soul but unfortunately I will have to go back to work at some point cos the money will run out. Lol mike
@@sailingcosiloveit I’m only knobbling ye ,yes heatwave would be nice .enjoy Scotland I went on expedition up there last summer it was awesome ,we actually managed to get to st kilda but tbh the whole trip up the sound of mull and outer Hebrides then back down to finish in Largs was breathtaking .have a good one ,love your videos ,spot on 👍👍

You took that first leeward pontoon with masterful confidence - fair play to you mate. Nice vid, thanks!
Hi Damo, wait and see the calamity I had in Tarbert, will give you a laugh for sure mike
Well done Mike and Lisa.Enjoy Scotland.
Hi Derek, just got into Tarbert ahead of a blow, few 😅good sail though. Mike and Lisa
I'm getting a handle on the technical lingo and having a chuckle at the jokes the more I watch your vids. Enjoying this series if travels very much.
Hi Dale that’s great, when you’ve worked it all out please explain it to me! Cheers mike
@@sailingcosiloveit Oh dear....

Hi Steve, the next few days looking good for Campbeltown I’m sure will enjoy. It’s a great place mike

@@sailingcosiloveit O'Ban perhaps!!!
That would definitely be on the list 😋
Very informative as usual & it's perfect for a novice like me. So thanks for that . 👌
Your welcome mike
brilliant, many thanks, fella.
Alan your welcome 👍

Hi Mark sorry I missed you, would have been nice to chat. Great to hear you had a top week and made some good memories I hope mike
another great watch thank you Mike Leisa for taking us with you again 👍
Hi John your welcome onboard anytime. Regards mike
Thanks! I really enjoyed that trip. It brought back many happy memories of when I worked in the West of Scotland 30 years ago!
It's true Ailsa Craig does seem to stalk you.
Keep it up.
Hi H P it’s always over your shoulder lol. Glad to be the one to bring back happy memories mike

Hi Gordon, thanks for the info. Rathlin does sound like a good kick off point, well placed. Next time mike 👍

Hi Andy, get yourself motivated and sort that old tub out, there’s plenty of sunny days left I’m sure. Regards mike
Wonderful
Thanks 👍
Another great video mike, very exciting! Perhaps Lisa enjoys the bow ride because it is similar to bobbing up & down on Mister?
P.S. Mister is the name of her horse - it wasn't an innuendo!
Hi Dave I know lol, yes but your probably right. She’s just missing him. Obviously I’m not enough to keep her contented 🤪
Just found your channel and I love the sailing focussed content. Forgive me for saying it sounds like Ringo Star bought a sailboat. 🙂
Hi Darren, if I’ve got his boat he should at least go half’s on the bills 🤣
Fantastic viewing ...you sound so much like Ringo doing Thomas the tank Engine. You're so lucky being able to do that.
Hi Stephen, I seem to get that quite a bit, must be where we grew up. Regards mike

May venture up to Tarbert next but you never know I may get that pint with ye in a week or so. Regards mike

Will give it my best shot. Enjoy your cruise. I’ve one eye on the weather as well it’s a bit moody!
LM24? Good to have a wheelhouse. I like your narrative.
LM27 Scanyacht 290 and ye right it is. Thanks mike
Great commentary sounds like Thomas the tank engine goes sailing.😂😂😂✌🏻
Cheers Anthony 👍

I love your videos. Your voice-over audio always reminds me of Frank McCourt. You must have grown up near Limerick?
Hi Drew, while we may have a similar outlook the only thing common about our birthplace is the letter L. Kind regards mike
.....but you sure how pretty she is an a 👙 😉 . Some things better to keep for yourself 🤣. Greetings from the Spanish coast line......
Enough said, from the Scottish coast line. Agreed mike 👍
Still wonder your temperatures. Sounds to me like very freezing cold to jump in.
Happy sailing ⛵
Great stuff ! When are you gonna sail your lass to the med so she can get her bikini on 😉☺️
Hi Russ think that’s a long time off, need too much time off work for that voyage. Best we can hope for is a UK heatwave mike
@@sailingcosiloveit I’m only knobbling ye ,yes heatwave would be nice .enjoy Scotland I went on expedition up there last summer it was awesome ,we actually managed to get to st kilda but tbh the whole trip up the sound of mull and outer Hebrides then back down to finish in Largs was breathtaking .have a good one ,love your videos ,spot on 👍👍
Cheers Russ will do me best, kind regards mike
