      out on the ocean you will never be able to take a long exposure because the boat is always moving, but the imagination of such a picture is fabulous I get you in that point!

      @dcbourbonireland 5 лет назад +4

      Me too 5 bypasses in 2017 so decided time to buy a boat to start to go blue water again . I did sail ireland canary islands in 1988 but ran out of cash trying to keep a 33 foot prout ranger cat going so had to give up and sell up .Now hopefully rental income from small apartment will keep me going next time in 2020 when the 50 year old 27 foot mono hull craft is fully repaired

    I'm glad you survived the crash and can still walk today.
    Thank you so much for these videos. My body is too old and beat up to sail anymore. These videos are a godsend for getting through Covid-19 too.

    I wish I had had your perspective on life when I was in university. I was too bound by expectations and conformity. I lived 100 m from a marina and never once did I realize the adventure that was waiting there just over my door step. I would have exchanged my apartment for a live aboard today if I could do it over. But sailing life was not even on my radar back then. Now I’m stuck with wife, kids, house, two cars and mortgage 😂 No just kidding, I’m very happy and I’m taking sailing lessons now and maybe getting a boat later, but probably not for the price of a beer 😉

I'm not at sea but I can hear that oceans quiet whisper myself.

    les histoires de bateau c'est tjs chouette surtout quand elles sont belles... J'ai un peu le même problème que l'ancien propriétaire d'Ann Alé... J'ai un vieux Edel III (dans le même style que ton plan Mallard), refiter en 2004 (mais en plus light que tout le travail que tu as fait) avec autant que d'électronique que toi à tes débuts ( ;-) ) à donner, sur cassis. Si tu connais du monde intéressé pour lui donner une 3eme voire 4eme vie et de belles navs... On s'en est bien servi pour caboter sur la cote varoise avec les enfants dans leur 1ers mois...
