1700miles in a Tiny Speed Boat - Part5

- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2020
- Continuing our journey in a small 1970's rigid inflatable boat navigating around the many coves and headlands of Britain.
Before leaving Plymouth we visit Drake's Island, a 6 acre private island bought for only £2million. With the new owner, Morgan Phillips, we explore the deep underground derelict tunnel system dating back to the Tudor period.
More on Drake's Island and Morgan's project here:

Leaving Plymouth we head into Cornwall and stop for a swim at Lantic bay in Fowey before pressing on to Falmouth.
Thanks again to the gang at Plymouth Yacht Haven for putting us back in the sea:

it might not be bringing in the big viewcounts, but this series is absolutely the best thing you've ever put out! it's incredible to see not only you and the boat but also the almost magical way you find the strangest, most interesting places to visit and the people who help you out along the way. it makes the journey feel unique so far beyond the route and tiny boat!
The foam mining was so unique though, I think that's one of my favourite videos on the internet. Just the absurdity of it...
But yes, it's great what little oddities there are around the coastline. And abandoned military installations are always super interesting for some reason. I worked on Portsmouth Dockyard and you'd stumble upon some ancient building called the "Rum Store" that's not been used for 60 years, has a bizarre array of disused equipment like, say, a fax machine, some archaic analogue electrical equipment, and a cannon stacked up in the corner.
This series will be soon picked up by a TV channel. Some excellent footage for the UK Tourism Board .
RancidMarshmallow --- 38k views is pretty serious.
Harry should had he’s own TV series with this, I’ve enjoyed every episode so far 👍🏽
What's TV?
TV? Do you still have a pet dinosaur? English was not invented yet, in your time. Please write us some homo erectus language back? Please? Are you really aroused the entire day?
Me too, it's like a tonic for life stresses, so enjoyable and so very well put together.
Production value has gone through the roof on these Harry. Everything from the premise, presenting, camera work and sound design is next level. You should be on TV and you should have more followers!! I’m going to go and share on social and I hope others will too!!
I agree, the quality of the video has gone through the roof, especially the editing - very tight !
you should have your own TV series Harry.
@@thatsme9875 I believe he works in the industry!
@@thatsme9875 dying to see episode 14 !
I shouted ‘oh my God it’s here!’ when I saw this latest episode was up. Always an absolute joy to watch. Thank you.
I'm from Plymouth, but never seen Drake's island in such detail... Fantastic!
Thank You Harry for not giving up on this adventure and bringing us along for the ride!
Also that fort is getting free advertisement which is awesome. If the guy could build a cafe for random boats to stop by and a refuel station it will be easy money right now.
Doing this in a tiny boat is what makes this beautiful and interesting. If you'd use a yacht you would be distracted from the views around you. Now you're truly immersed in nature and scenery
I was lucky enough to go on a tour of Drake's Island in the 1970s with my parents. My father was a Plymouth boy and he had actually spent some time on the island whilst in the army in WW2. This has brought back memories for me, very dear ones!
You need so much more recognition for this I can’t believe youve still got 80k subscribers
Awesome...Simply Awesome! you should have Honda Sponsor you for this Harry!
Pure gold. Thanks guys. Absolute joy. What a fair Isle we have.
What an utter joy these videos are. Can’t wait for the next one. Fair wind and a following sea little Goodwin.
I was so happy to see a new upload. This has taken away my COVID blues and I'm so grateful Harry.
Love from Kenya.
Yes! I’m so happy you’ve started again! I love this so much, keep going, and making us happy!
My view of the UK has changed drastically, always assumed rainy, dark oceans (I’ve travelled portugal and the Azores islands)
The UK shores are absolutely stunning, thank you for great content !
We have a lot of rain and a lot of dark oceans. I still don't think that changes the majesty of our rugged coastline's magnificent desolation. Littered with historical sites from the neolithic onwards and featuring some of the best marine life in Europe (Orcas, Sharks, dolphin pods, massive whales and multitudes of breeding seabird populations). The weather is irrelevant. The coast looks marvelous no matter what.
*Cornish shores
Being able to take a long exhale, and just watch this well produced, peaceful vid was something I needed.
Fantastic videos, UK looks so nice when it's not raining. 😋
Can’t wait for you to get to Wales and explore some of our beautiful coastline.
Not long now!
Hoping RUclips algorithms pick up on your videos - more people need to see this. Great content!
Great to see you and Goodwin back on the water.
I absolutely enjoy every bit of this series. The combination of your filming, editing, background information paired with your lovely humor and commenting makes it a joy to watch. Thanks from Germany!
What a glorious bit that was. Looked amazing
Found this series via the de-foaming of the lightship video. Not sure there is a more wholesome series anywhere in existence! Love it
I would give this 100 likes if I could. This series is awesome. Thank you for all of your hard work. Keep it coming. Much love from Reno Nevada USA 🇺🇸
Good to see you continuing the trip,
Feels like getting a surprise gift, every new episode.
Love the filming, love the editing. And, secretly, love Liz a little bit.
Yes.....my favourite series on RUclips....can't tell you how good this is!!!!
beautiful, just gets better each time..
What perfect sea conditions...... great to see you back 👍
Defo worthy of a tv prog when you have completed your epic voyage, well done
Actually featured in a good RUclips video!!! Beauty!!!
Good to meet you guys!
greatest travelogue on youtube rn by a longshot
Yet another brilliant episode which my wife and I been watching together.
The trip you're making is what we Dutchies did in 2016. We did it by two seater convertible car however and held on to just the coastal roads, no highways.
After three weeks we ended up in Lands end coming all the way from Dover and realized we made an epic trip.
We'd be needing 8 more vacations of three weeks to finish the tour around the UK by coastal road. And as long as health (and border control, darned politics) allow we will pursue.
What a great country, what a gentle people generally, what a surprisingly beautiful nature. We fell madly in love with the UK.
About the 'Around the UK' series Harry: loads of sincere compliments. This is the kind of content that I'd like to view a lot more.
Combining the surprising social interactions with beautiful scenery, an amazing journey, lovely wildlife and remnants of the past that keep me wanting to revisit the UK.
All the best from the Netherlands!
Stunning movie!! These are just superb. Worthy of a TV series with this production!
Love these videos Harry, the South Coast of England is spectacular!
I’ve got no interest in boats as such, so why do I find this both interesting and fun to watch.? Keep up posting videos and I’ll promise to stick around.👍🇩🇰🇬🇧
This series is a gem, well done Harry.
The UK is such a beautiful place when the sun is out!. Great episode, can't wait to see the next episode.
Loved the smokers reference Harry, one of my favourite films. Cannot wait for the next episode! The only downside to your videos is i am back on Ebay looking at buying another boat.....
Very kind of Morgan to take you for a tour of the island, what an amazing place.
Yes, hopefully we'll be back to see the progress at some stage.
ive been waiting for more harry 😁 thats cheered me up
when you are in the northwest let us know where you are stopping , if you need a lift with anything we would love to help if you need it 😉👍
Totally underrated series. Great camera work and content. Keep up the good work!
You're the Best! Thanks for share with us your increíble life!
Watching this since Ep1 - I do like the calming way of narrating the whole series. So watching this for relaxation and sightseeing basically. Keep the good stuff up. Greetings from Germany
Two million quid seems a bargain for that island. Branson missed a trick it seems... I can see that there is a fair bit of research going on pre journey such that you are able to highlight these otherwise little unknown gems on route. Can't decide if I want the island or want the listed fort featured in the last vid. Anyway, keep up the good work and hats off to your sis for being a good sport. When you are done can you send your receipts to BBC so they can see just what an around Britain series should cost in the real world. #licence fee expenditure matters.
Love the way you combine boating - adventure - mystical places - history. If you come around Cornwall, stop by The Red Buoy in Porthcothan! Lovely gathering of washed up items, special memories from my side, beautiful area!
I lived on Drakes Island for three years in the early 1980's; every part of this video tour brings back so many memories. Thank you Harry!
Yay another brilliant Harry video - this is better than anything on TV.
I am really enjoying this series. These types of adventures are why I love small boats.
I love the detail of the rusty nail on the old map.
Bravo
The visit to the private island was very interesting.
Only found this Channel this morning and binged watched all 5 vlogs, absolutely fantastic viewing... who needs naff TV when there’s quality viewing like this available, can’t wait for the next instalment 🙂👍
Been to Looe for over 40 years and had a boat moored in Looe Estuary for 7 years in the early 2000's, its a real rare event to have a calm sea as the one you have there! You are right about the jet ski's too, been a few scrapes and near misses over the years by Banjo pier and off the shore line...
I love your content. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful stuff in this episode and a brilliant idea in the first place.
I was born in Paignton, but left over 40 years ago. It's hardly changed!
I felt more than a pang or two of nostalgia on seeing some very familiar landmarks.
The humour and warmth of Harry and his fellow sailors (RIBers?), along with the great filming, editing and music all add up to something quite joyful.
God bless you all!!🙏
I gotta say, this series is rapidly turning into my favorite RUclips content. So good! And what a contrast this sunny episode was to the slightly more grueling early ones (and what is to come), I’m pleased your sis got the nice bit 👍🏻
And I’d wager this will eventually get picked up by the algorithm and you’ll get some petrol money for Goodwin.
amazing they get better and better can wait until the last one then play the whole thing non stop
I love every one of your videos, I can’t wait for the next. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve literally just discovered this channel and I’ve got to say from this video alone it’s one of the best things I’ve seen on RUclips in a long while! Can’t wait to catch up on old videos and looking forward to new ones. We really do live in a stunning country!
Not quite sure why you don’t have more views, but it’s a brilliantly put together series, well done mate 👍🏻
How does one dislike this beautiful example of Naval filmmaking
Missed these videos ! Absolutely live for the notifications ❤️
Another great upload.. Each episode makes it all the more crucial that you complete the journey all the way round! FANTASTIC work :-)))
Ha, that's true. Committing myself more with each upload.
@@harrydwyer I am planning on going in a 3.4 m sib with a small outboard and have never been on sea before only rivers any tips from what i can pick up it's tricky with all the shallows and coral any advice please got safety equipment vhf radio will be buying a cheap depth finder whats the safest quickest route over mate
Yessss, at last part 5, this should definitely be put on tv, absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍
Fascinating, thanks for the Drake Island tour! Looks like an airsoft paradise, bet there's loads of hidden history all over the place 👍
so nice i have to say this is one of the best " watches " on youtube .good luck with the lands end leg
I cannot get enough of this series!!!!
Superb, best thing not on TV for ages, well done.
Seriously enjoying this series so much that I will bring the family to visit England as soon as they let us leave California.
You'd be made very welcome but don't waste too much time in London (Or even better, just avoid it completely!) Yours, A. Londoner
Best play fort award goes to .....Morgan
I'm really enjoying your series! And I am so, so glad to hear of the plans to open Drakes Island to the public eventually. Morgan seems like a passionate guy. My old man served on a submarine based in Devonport, and as a child we'd spend time on boats in the Sound and around the naval docks - so Drakes island was always a massive mystery to me (as with so many others). There's something magical and mysterious but very familiar about the architecture of British Naval forts. I can't wait to look around one day.
You brought me back to the coastal area I spent the most time in during my childhood. I have walked all the coastal paths of Cornwall thanks 🙏 for bringing joy back into my life
Morgan is a gentleman and a gracious host.
I’d forgotten so much about this video just had to watch it again!
Well done, best day yet !! We all missed you. Thank you for taking your sister. Was a perfect day for her to be on the water. Please, as able keep up the GREAT. Ideas, Drone pics add a lot ! Good sound and video. We here give you 10 stars out of possible five stars😋Please thank Morgan for exclusive of HIS island. Your equip. Seems great, except for lense. P Gil. Corpus Christi, Texas. USA
Well done Harry and Lizzie. Great production you’ve sure got me hooked all the best.
Good work fella (and Liz).
Brilliant series, great drone shots, but you're making me feel homesick (in Japan). Love Cornwall.
What a dude Morgan is. Fair play pal, really hope you manage to fulfil your dreams for that place. Amazing 👏
Your videos are like candy... Your effort of story telling and video quality are visible, your sister and friends of travel are charming, fun. You came out of no where a year ago in my suggestions, you might be one of the rare channels that make me happy just when I see there's a new video. This video and others made me want to come back to the UK.
This is the best series on RUclips love love your work. My wife and I are enthralled. We live in New Zealand my Mum is from Faversham Kent and I have never been back to UK. For me this is my first time seeing England and the UK for what it is. Love seeing outside the big centres and the stunning coastline. Big fans your a natural easy to watch and engaging presenter. Look forward to seeing your next video. When you are finished whats next? will be watching with interest.
Never mind TV series maintain your creative freedom with RUclips. Set up a Patreon I would become a sponsor every day of the week. Show the BBC and the rest what fun creative content looks like.
Your sister was a great addition. Very calm.
Epic as always Harry - thanks so much for making this awesome series :)
Loved the Drakes Island tour. Spent an adventure week there as a teenager, abseiling, canoeing and orienteering through some of those tunnels with out a torch, memorised the instructions before going in...... One of those chambers was our chill out room with sofa's and a jukebox that we'd rigged to avoid having to find five pence to play a record.
Lovely to see you back at sea, and At Lantic bay too!
Awww I’m so lad you made it to Cornwall. Those lads in their ribs looked like they were having fun
It has been good to see you back on the water. Lock-down was a frustrating pause to this very cool adventure. Great videos, keep them coming.
Great to have you back on the water 👍
These videos are just so amazing! I never knew the UK had such a stunning coastline literally around the whole island. The production quality is also just amazing, it must be so much work! I watched the latest part yesterday where the Honda caught fire, and I'm rewatching some of the older episodes. Best of luck completing this circumnavigation, I'll be watching, however long it may take you Harry!
Harry this production is second to non and the best on you tube...I recommend your channel constantly and can't wait for the next episode.
Loving this series Harry! I got my RYA powerboat and safety boat licences in Plymouth. Very fond memories with my best friend messing about in RIBs. Your videos are so well put together - the drone shots, stop motion, music etc. It must take hours. And so much damaged camera gear!
Yeay !. Great to see your vids again 👍🏻
Great videos Harry, just too long between episodes. I keep my boat at Falmouth Haven and I am looking forward to watching your next leg. Make sure you have a trip down the Helford River on your way towards the Lizard, some of the best and most secluded beaches around Falmouth on your left hand side just after you enter the river mouth. Have fun going around Lizard Point, I hope the weather remains calm for you.
Top tip! The Helford river is on the list next. Those beaches look great.
I look forward to this series more than any other that I'm following.
Fantastic! Loved drake's island! What a place!
so addictive, you should be on tv Next around the Caribbean in a canoe..
Another enthralling episode! Seeing all these interesting little coves and harbours with such interesting back stories! the series just gets better and better! Roll on the North East coast between Berwick upon Tweed and the river Tyne at Tynemouth, (where else?)
Lovely renault 5 turbo at the start of the vid.
This is a great series,the coastal shots of Dorset earlier in the series was excellent.
Thanks for a chilled show
