    Right to the sailing! No drawn out drone intro. No horrible RUclips music, no waxing poetic about the sailing lifestyle! Just right to the sailing… and you didn’t abuse any rocks!

    Emotional escalation was real with this video:
    Oh, he is coming to my country, cool.
    Oh, he is coming to my town, great!
    Oh, he is entering my home port, no way!
    Is he docking to the same pier as me?!
    THAT'S MY BOAT IN THE BACKGROUND!
    Totally unexpected treat.

    If anyone wonders what song they sing at 2:15 it's a Swedish song called: Till Havs, by Jussi Björling.
    Jussi was one of the greatest opera singers of all time. Pavarotti said that he used to warm up before shows with Jussi songs and always considered him as one of the greatest ever.
    Here's the lyrics to the song. 😊✌🏻
    Now the sea's fresh wind blows
    From the southwest
    And sweetly caresses the sailor's cheek
    Of all winds the best!
    At sea, at sea
    To the storm, you bold yacht
    At sea, at storm,
    Be on guard
    At sea!
    On endless paths life is free,
    Don't like coercion,
    When the sea sings, green and white,
    His high song of freedom
    At sea, At sea
    To the storm, you bold yacht,
    At sea, at storm,
    Be on guard,
    At sea!
    Swell beautifully, beautiful sails, swell in the wind's dust,
    Fly forward with joy towards the wave's scale
    In the highest desire of the moment!
    At sea, at sea
    To the storm, you bold yacht,
    To storm, to sea,
    Be on guard,
    At sea!

    I have been watching your videos for a while now. I greatly appreciate your half-liveaboard and half land living (winter) life. I am looking at buying a Contessa 26 as a good all-round boat and my present Beneteau Cabochard trailer-sailor for shallow (0.9 m) water. I would like to do some long runs along the French coast and perhaps work my way to the Netherlands and northern Germany. You and Roger Barnes (he too has a channel on RUclips) have taught me so much more than sailing school! Keep those videos coming! :D Anthony

    I lived in Estonia for 4 or so years. It's a remarkable country, with an interesting history and culture and lovely people. There is so much more to see. I don't know your plans, but it seems to me you should slow down and take more time in the countries you visit. I really enjoy that you travel so far in a relatively small boat. You are very inspiring! I look forward to see where you go next and what you experience!

    Southampton is my old home town. It's crazy, crazy busy on the Solent. Check out the Red Lion pub, it's very close to the boat show end of town. You'd like it in there. Also the SouthWestern Hotel (now apartments) which faces 44 Berth (Titanic!), a nice piece of history. Behind that is Oxford st, check out The Grapes pub.

    Hey Sam. Harwich is my old stomping ground; my boat used to be moored a few hundred metres up River from where you are now. You can head up to Pin Mill (pub) on the River Orwell, just opposite where you are right now. You can sail up no problem, maybe an hour depending on the tide. Last time I moored there it was free, right outside the pub. The pub does amazing fish and chips, and mussels, and it is a lovely peaceful setting. It's about 30 minutes on the engine to get to get into Ipswich. If you want to know more just say, there are some lovely rivers to sail up near Harwich, all within a couple of hours, and mooring is dirt cheap or free.

    Hi Sam, if you're still in Harwich and have a couple of days to spare, I'd recommend a trip up the River Deben. Just time the crossing over the bar at the entrance carefully. Or if you're looking for somewhere slightly quieter, the Walton Backwaters round the corner from Harwich ar worth a look. I sail out of Levington just up the Orwell, so I'll keep an eye out for Pickled Herring. Or if you fancy meeting up for a pint...
