This was a thoroughly-interesting and very-well-edited video Derek.... Well done - and thank you. I subscribed so....MORE PLEASE lol :)

So glad you liked it. Scilly is a lovely place to sail to and stay. Capturing it in a video is a great way for me to store it up for the future - and share it!

Nice to see another video mate with my fav music 😊 my boats in Falmouth and I’m doing this trip ASAP 👍
Great video u had lovely weather what a beautiful Plac 😊

[@derekhathaway]

I hope you get a weather window to get there. I had just one day of fair wind before it turned SW! Definitely worth any effort - sailed there some 8 times it’s that good!

Another well produced & inspiring video. Well done. As always, I’m looking forward to your next. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks for yet another lovely video Derek. Your photography on the Scilly Isles was outstanding. As a 71 year old East Coast sailor the sun has settled a little too far in the West for me to attempt a passage to these magical islands. Many thanks indeed for sharing this adventure with us. David.

Fabulous

I’ll miss not getting there this year - but maybe Southern Ireland will compensate!

Thanks for sharing this with us. The IOS are such a treasure. Brilliant camera work and music ! Looking forward to the next part of the story - homeward bound with a following sea and wind around the Lizard. Far from ideal conditions but I bet your glad that you did it when you did. Nothing but low pressure systems blowing through since then.

[@derekhathaway]

Thank you Sarah. Yes I was glad to get back when I did. The weather patterns this year have been getting stuck more than usual so you have to take opportunities when they arise. IOS are good whatever the weather though!
