Dinghy cruising a Welsford 'navigator': Overnight camp cruising up the Southpool Creek
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2019
- Welcome to my channel about dinghy cruising a John Welsford designed 'navigator' standing lug sail yawl called Arwen. In this second video, I overnight up the creek and show how I set up Arwen for sleeping on-board.
Other videos on my channel cover my developing skills in dinghy cruising and maintaining a small open boat along the coastal waters and rivers of SW England. I post at least one video or blog post a fortnight. Follow Arwen's blog at www.arwensmeanderings.blogspot.co.uk
If you enjoy everything to do with learning to sail small open boats and dinghy camping cruising along stunning scenery then come subscribe to our channel and blog. We look forward to hearing and sharing your comments, thoughts and tips.
Steve and Arwen

Lovely. Thanks Steve.
you are most welcome take care now
Well done, lovely video
Thank you
Can’t let Roger Barnes have all the fun and pleasure. Well done !
Yeah but he is the master both in terms of sailing and camp cruising.....😄 Glad you enjoyed it.
My word, it must have taken some time to write that script ! Salut !
Actually few are scripted...most of mine tend to roll with a few thoughts scribbled and that's it 🤔😀
What a place to kip Steve. That Trangia looks like it's seen a few years,great bit of kit.
That trangia is nearly 35 years old, the sleeping bag and bivvy bag are the same age as well. Hight treasured possessions of great sentimental value, which has e been on all my world wide travels and expeditions. And yes, it was a lovely place to kip. Now, how are you...well?
I'm a one for keeping my stuff for many years too,Trangia's are bomb proof. All is well Steve thank you.
Jó a békéd !!
Thank you. Peace is a good thing to find. Always out on the water 👋
Great fun. Really nicely done video. I could get into this camping dinghy lark. Need to learn to sail first mind.
Yeah I built.the boat then learned to sail on the med....which didn't equip me for the vagaries of tides 😄
Great Vid, Beautiful looking spot. Thanks mate 👍
Ah - you are welcome - as soon as there is a decent weather window I'll get the final episodes of the series done - up at Kingsbridge and up Frogmore creek
Is it me or does camping make your food twice as tasty!
Now thoroughly enough it does indeed Bob 😁
Thanks glad you enjoyed it .
Great video - love the sleeping board arrangement - will pinch it for my Drascombe lugger!
It's a great method. Search for Joel Bergen navigator blog and then search his blog for sleeping platform...he breaks down how to make it if I remember rightly. Glad you enjoyed the video. Take care now 😀
Great video, lovely narration, very relaxing 👍
thanks very kind. Appreciated
Another wonderful video, thank you. I thoroughly enjoy watching and listening. I am a South African now living in New Zealand (a little over three years now). I brought my Mirror dinghy along from SA and have kitted it out for cruising. Roger Barnes initially inspired the idea and have since found your channel. Both your channels are fantastic inspiration, soothing entertainment and wonderfully informative. Keep them coming, and thanks again.
Ha. Thanks. I'm an idiot sailor a careful one. However, if any of it inspires others to get out there and do more of it then brilliant. If you have a mirror have a look at David's channel which I think is called mirror cruising
@@plymouthwelshboy Thank you, I will look him up :)
Really good that you showed your set up for the night, I have been looking out for such info for a long time and Roger is one of the very few to have included it in a vid so far.
you are welcome
lovely, like at home.
Backpacking but on water and the ability to take a few more home comforts 😁
Away from the madding crowd! Looks great maybe I would need a fishing rod though 😉👍🎣🏞️
I do take a fishing rod. Used to be a very keen fisherman but over the years become more environmentally aware and so have moved away from it. I'm ok with those who fish and eat the catch, I have no problem with that but just fishing as sport and throwing them back...I'm less comfortable with now
Hunger...the BEST spice! Where did you get the plans for your kitchen box? I have seen those in several other boat videos.
Hi happy new year. I made the galley box myself. If you search for arwens meanderings on the internet and then in the blog search bar type in galley box it should take you to my building pages where you will find the plans I drew up for it also Ng with what I did and what I'd do differently
I love the voiceover technique - reminiscent of those old Betjeman films. Nicely unhurried and clear. Can I ask a question though? Where did you get your long flat seat cushions from? I have some old ones that need replacing that I bought from a boat jumble, I think in Maryport yonks ago, and I’ve never found any others on sale since.
Thank you. The cushions I got from the Newton abbot boat jumble about seven years ago. There is a little stall which turns up every so often. I'm really sorry but I don't have any more details than that. However, if I go to the boat jumble this September and he is there...do you want me to contact you via messengerwith his details or get some for you and we can sort out getting them to you afterwards?
plymouthwelshboy Sounds like the same guy! I’ll measure mine and tell you how big they are!
@@RogerRoving quality Roger, quality that counts 😀
@@RogerRoving im from Việt Nam, you measure the cushion and its specifications , i would like to make it a gift to you.
Lovely video. Very tranquil. Might I suggest keeping the microphone away from your mouth a little. You can always turn it up in post production.
Thanks Rick - i need to get one of those circular microphone disks that go in front o microphones. Glad you enjoyed video
Another superb video with a great commentary - Thank you.
Where did you get the seat cushions with the eyelets please?
Hi Kevin. Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. They came from the Newton Abbott boat jumble many years ago. There was a stall holder there who made and sold them - cannot remember his name - he wasn't at last years jumble, well that is I didn't find him , so I don't know whether he is still going or not. You can make them them - all you need is the material and foam via ebay and a speedy stitcher tool - a greater winter project f you like that sort of thing. Mine are worn, stained but still functional.
@@plymouthwelshboy Thanks for coming back - I will have a go. :)
@@kevinu.k.7042 stay in touch - let me know how it goes - take care now :)
Is the mooring first come first served or did you need to book? Considering a trip here for early spring as a first overnighter… launch from Kingsbridge and hopefully stay at South Poole, with some exploring during the day. Nice video.
Hi Matt. First come first served when I went up there
great place, what’s the difference between creek and sound?
Creek is upper reaches or small side tributaries of a tidal river. The sound is the local name given to our very large bay area in my locality
what a dream little city. The way England used to be. thank you for sharing this video-sail. aluminum pots are bad for you, buy stainless steel, before they find out stainless steel is bad for you as well
Trangias are very famous across Europe for their versatility, robustness and proven track record in all sorts of environments. Very many small boat camp cruisers use them because they are compact, efficient and lightweight 😄
Would rats come aboard when camping?
Never had the furry kind. A rather drunk human kind tried once but I threatened him with a paddle and he disappeared off 😁
I really enjoy your films -- you know how to point a camera and tell a story --- brilliant. They'd be even better if you could improve the recording of your voice over as it is very "breathy" in places, for example right at the star of this film. Some advice here:

Just constructive criticism and in no way meant to cause any offence. Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures.
thanks for the tip - appreciated
You're very welcome. Saying all that, the sound on your "outdoor" films is excellent! Great to see you out- on the water again. Thanks.
@@stephenmundane thanks - its getting better as time goes on
You read well, but you either need to move the mic or get a filter. The plosives are ruining an otherwise good intro.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You are welcome.
