Thank you so much. Have you looked at learning to sail? There are some good crew finder pages on facebook and you could learn by helping crew on other peoples boats.
Thank you so much Howard. We really appreciate it. We are still learning and want to share all our highs and lows with people. We want to encourage others that want to do the same, but if they can learn from our mistakes, then it might make it a little easier 😊
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing your experiences very helpful for those aspiring to learn how to sail. Keep it up and looking forward to following!
Thank you. Still trying to gain confidence flying it off the boat. Scarey trying to land it. Lol well if you don't like the cold stay away from the emerald Isle over the winter months. But you definitely have to visit, its really beautiful.
@@LittleBoatAdventures we got now a much lighter mavic air...and I have a feeling that it was a mistake, could not catch it... Had to crash land it on the deck
Nice video. I know what you mean about recovering the drone! Same problem myself. I ended up hand catching (and slashing my finger in the process from a prop. ) very nerve wracking. So near but so far and worrying about battery life! You may already be aware but be careful regarding your return to home point for the drone as you will no longer be there. If I’m on the boat I make my return to home point the controller. It also may have been easier recovering from the other side of the boat away from the boom. I also let my sails loose and headed into the wind to slow the boat down but that still wasn’t enough with tide etc. and that was on a calm day.
Hi. Thanks for the comment. That's good information regarding the drone. I actually didn't knkw you could set the controller as home. I will have to look that up. Its terrifying seeing all those tiny blades coming towards your face or fingers. Chain mesh glove may be required lol.
@@LittleBoatAdventures hi. You can also choose what you want the drone to do in the event of losing signal. You can make it return to home or you can make it hover where it is or make it land. Obviously the first one is preferred on a boat.
Yeah videos are slow to put out at the minute as I work as a nurse in the NHS things have been difficult. But hope to start rolling them out quicker now. We got a Dji mavik air. Nice little drone but still learning how to use it lol
We haven't changed it yet but hopefully next month. Yes we have a handheld but it's a Chinese job and not overly confident with it so might need to invest in a proper marine vhf.
@@LittleBoatAdventures glad to see you kept to your passage plan by using the engine I hate it myself ,have you a reeds almanac,it’s amazing how many miles she will go on a full tank, Oliver oak dale lost his mast on the way back from the Azores off Ireland and still managed to motor to Glasgow. Hope you have your navionics on two devices, any old farming will do with a paper chart. Look forward to the next one.
@@santamulligan676 Yeah if we hadn't have motored we'd have to have tacked up the Irish Sea and probably would have too 2 days lol. We have navionics on the tablet and our 2 phones also as well as paper charts which are just a back up. Yes we have an almanac but think it's a 2018. I'll need a 2021 for sure.
@@LittleBoatAdventures bit of fun is a 3,4,5 triangle to secure your position off shore you just highlight points on the chart at the right distances, navigation zero ad style

Nice one. I recognise Ballydorn lightship there. Strangford lough is a sailors paradise. Great vid.
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment. It definitely is a great place to sail
A really good video. I like your humility and willingness to accept that you're still on the learning curve. Have subscribed.

@@LittleBoatAdventures Strangely enough, I will be joining you next season as my Pandora will be on a swinging mooring at Quoile YC.
@@howardbull9001 aww brilliant. I'm sure our paths will cross then. We go to a little anchorage at salt Island down that way quite often.
I agree I'm a new be to sailing with a 5o ye old yacht and a dreamxxx

Nice vid again! And good cliffhanger in the end! You got me curious.
Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate. I enjoy your videos too
Great video and if you ever sail across the pond and stop at the Chesapeake Bay I'll buy you a drink!
Thanks so much Charles. Sailing across the big A is something we aspire to do and will definitely take you up on that offer when we do 😁👍
Nice video Mate! Curious about those waters and your adventure!
Thank you. I'll try and include more detail in the videos of what the places I sail are like 😁
It is wonderful. I have Albin Vega №2885 on Azov sea.
Thank you so much. I'm sure the sailing is exciting where you are?
@@LittleBoatAdventures I live in Russia and my yacht stay on Azov sea.
@@НиколайСедаков Здравствуйте! У Вас Albin Vega?
What drone did you buy? This was a summer video, heck it is January!
Yeah videos are slow to put out at the minute as I work as a nurse in the NHS things have been difficult. But hope to start rolling them out quicker now. We got a Dji mavik air. Nice little drone but still learning how to use it lol
Has she her new name yet ,have you your handheld vhf
