Now 100 NM in a day, that’s a nice round number! I wonder if Columbus got to America because he kept wanting to see what was the next anchorage around the corner? 😎
"I could do this all day", you said. Well, me too - watch your videos off-course! And you guessed it right, "Cos I love it". Thanks a lot for this magnificent work. You are bringing the beauty of your waters and their islands, especially to me that had no idea of such! I must correct you, I'm sorry to say, that island is not a big cake but a loaf of cornbread baked weekly by my grandmother. Obrigado, homem do mar.
Hi What a fantastic infromative video you have made me homesick visiting all my favourite places Troon,Girvan and finally Kirkcudbright where we very nearly retired a number of years ago. It is a hidden gem. Palnackie a fishing port is another favourite of mine.Nice to see Capt Lisa! Regards Crawford
Great to see and hear your dear crew! Could you give some idea of distance off when you show the shoreline? It would complement your most excellent commentary. Thank you for taking us along your summer cruise.
Hi Mike...just back from Cornwall in camper...spent all night catching up on your vids.... brilliant as usual...be great to see you sail into Fowey...what a place.....some nice boats in there....pity you didn't get to go into port Patrick...grt place but very narrow entrance....pub on front serves up Cullen skink...a great fish chowder....keep the vids coming...brilliant
I have worked on the basic idea that a sailing yacht never has an ETA only a destination. You proved that wrong on this passage! From now on, my planning will include ports of Advantage as well as ports of Refuge along the way 🤣
Hi Nick to be honest I mostly stay firm to my passage plan but cos the weather if flexible I find I must be as well. Shortening and running for cover or taking advantage when it’s fine. I’m not sure if this will work for everyone but it works for me. Regards mike
18 hours thats a fair stint Spratt Jarrow hahaha. Your clips are giving me the motivation to get my little trailer sailer ready for summer, I can't wait to sail her down the coast, park her on a secluded small coastal beach, surrounded by steep cliffs which lead up to private farm land. It's inaccessible to the public from land, also the farmer up top can't get down to the little beach, there's only one way in. Another good clip mate, you've definitely got the knack for making your sailing adventures enjoyably watchable
Hi Dean, you need to be getting a move on as summer can be only too short. It seems to come and go in the blink of an eye. The anchorage your talking about seems an ideal place. I bet it’s popular for boaters of all kinds. Thanks for the kind words mike
Great to see you again. I was concerned that you had become virtual Landlubbers with your week in port. But everything looks wonderful now coz everyone knows that "Happiness Comes in Waves" and it is clear from your voice that is true.
Hi Dave, was a little worried to say the least not being able to depart Troon cos of the weather. Now I’m trying to look at the forecast for next week and fear the same thing may happen again. Some drastic moves coming up I’m sure. Missing our coffee breaks mike
Such a wonderful episode - really enjoyed it and Lisa's helming and her heading suggestion was perfectly timed. Loving your vlogs and adventures, places we're hoping to visit one day and really informative and entertaining. Cheers for making and sharing them
If you should cross the bay to Whitehaven, there is an excellent shop with a marvelous selection of home made cakes, called the "Silly Goose" it's half way up the 2nd block along Hope Street (opposite Maiden Marine Chandlery pier) on the LHS at Postcode: CA28 7ER - Nom, Nom, Nom!
lovin your videos! you have such a unique style with your narration over the audio. They're surprisingly relaxing for some of the sailing you actually do! I just thought it might be worth pointing out that the audio behind your narration when you speed up the clips is really distracting. Otherwise they're great and you def have a new sub/ viewer :)
Hi Simon it’s very very nice there. We had over 2 meters at low mid way between neaps and springs. Very soft mud below that. A local said the pontoon always keeps a depth as the river is continues to flow into it when the bar has dried outside. There are local boats with 4-6 ft draft who are very happy there all year so maybe don’t go much below 2 meters even in springs cos of the bar holding the water in. Regards mike
hi mick, would you know if your st1000, through sea talk withRAYMARINE RAYTHEON ST6000+ Autopilot Contol Unit Head cheers mick, will speak to you in Deganwy.

Hi Bruce I think it was the same thing, he just wanted to see what was over the horizon lol mike

Alvaro ha ha ha your grandmother must have some oven! But your probably correct. Will think of it now as a cornbread loaf lol mike
Really enjoying your videos, great commentary very inspirational!
Hi Simon, glad your enjoying them mike

Hi Crawford, happy to make you nostalgic and a bit homesick. Capt Lisa, she wishes lol mike
Another great video. Love the Lisa interaction :D
Cheers mike
Nice sail. Thanks for taking me along. It was nice to see Lisa getting involved with the vlog.
Hi Buffalo Bob she is starting to get use to it. Soon she will be wanting to take over or at least that’s the way it normally goes mike
Great to see and hear your dear crew! Could you give some idea of distance off when you show the shoreline? It would complement your most excellent commentary. Thank you for taking us along your summer cruise.

Hi Chris, this time last year we where in Fowey and found it to be lovely as usual. Shame about Port Patrick as I love a good chowder mike

Hi there out there and active, thanks for your kind words most appreciated mike

Hi Dave, we shall do that this afternoon. We are berthed in Whitehaven now. What’s their best cake then?

Hi Wayward thanks for the tip, I will suppress them a little more in the future. Welcome onboard mike
Kirkcudbright looks nice , what's the depth like at LW on the visitor pontoon .
Hi Simon it’s very very nice there. We had over 2 meters at low mid way between neaps and springs. Very soft mud below that.
