My very first boat a morbas🤩
I recognise it just from the bow handrails.
I loved that boat and now live aboard a 58ft fairline.
You picked a perfect day for it 👍
Hi what boat would you recommend for a beginner??
I'm following your channel, very interesting experience thank you for sharing. Did you said you're in the Midlands?
David
Thanks for following and subscribing. Yes I live in the midlands. Not best suited for water BUT it is do-able certainly!
I see you have the nautico trim tabs,I have some arriving in the next couple of days and I have the PR500 plate retractor kit from the USA. I am looking forward to trying them out, how did you find them on your vessel ?.
They seem good. Not sure what I was expecting from them BUT I do seem to plane at a lower speed or hold it on the plane at a lower speed and I can raise the bow with the trim tilt a little easier at slower speeds in rough weather. I think they possibly take a little too end speed off with the drag though.
Just subscribed looking forward to watching your videos 👍🏻👍🏻
FORTNIGHT FISHING
PEMBROKESHIRE 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Awesome- enjoy it. Wish I had a fortnight fishing. 1 day would be nice 👍
Hi mate what is the boat make thanks love the videos
Enjoyable
That slip is private you can’t get to the top ( gate) but you can launch down the beach or the middle slip in felinhli is free
Thank you for letting me know.
Really enjoyed your vid but please wear and promote the use of life jackets
i noticed youve ditched the big boat what were your reasons mark?, i am interested and found your video very informative as i have a small boat of my own which ive not yet had chance to launch , as i too bought it and it needs bringing it up to scratch as the previous owner didn't have a clue, would love to have a chat and get some insight on this subject and also some advice and help, youv'e inspired me to get my boat out on the water next summer, would love to have a chat if you would? good video dont give up ive wanted a boat for years and just lack help and do many things on my own.👊👍
not given up on the big boat. it needs some work so video to explain will come shortly
Small boats will always need a lot of maintenance and it is very rewarding to do it yourself. Looks like you had an amazing weather window.
Please wear a life jacket.
They do- just had to replace the tilt trim motor but as you say- very rewarding to do it yourself. Weather window was definitely fantastic but it didn’t last unfortunately. Life jacket was actually on the back of my seat. Not really sure why I took it off, maybe to put a coat on but a definite oversight. Not much good if it’s not on!!
Cool . Let us know when you go out again and a will split the petrol costs with you. Have you got a ski pole?
I'd love to say it will be soon - fingers crossed
Do you launch and retrieve on your own.?
I do sometimes - but this time i didn't. Its so easy to let someone else launch it and it doesnt cost that much more.
Stone beach was a good place now council have blocked it off about 2 weeks ago. They say they own the beach and you can't use it.
Thats unfortunate
Where did you boat to?
just out of the Caernarfon bar and then around the bay - after that went down the Menai for a look around.
Proof you don’t need a £1,000,000 Sunseeker to have fun.
very true.
nice life jacket....
As soon as he said " No fishing ". I switched off.
gutted me too
more fishing as soon as we are allowed back out!!
Could have made a handline
Enjoyed your film.....but for gawds' sake....if you are going to make an instructional boating video, then at least wear a life jacket!!!!.......especially as you are out alone!!!!
