1700miles in a Tiny Speedboat - part3

- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- We finally get back out to sea to take on Portland Bill and continue our 1700mile journey around the UK, despite it being the middle of winter. In this episode we pick up where we left off in Weymouth and attempt to travel 65 miles to Paignton in Devon, stopping in at Lyme Regis to look for Fossils.
Portland Bill is widely regarded as the most treacherous stretch of water in Northern Europe. The tidal stream and it's position in the channel makes it tricky.

The boat is an old Avon SR4 Searider from 1977. I made a series about restoring it.
I filmed this episode on the Panasonic s1 and used a gopro 7 and the drone is a Phantom 4 pro +.
This could and should be a TV series!
I agree.
Agreed 100%
I think the format of these videos fits youtube better than tv but i do see where you're coming from
IT"S FINALLY HEREEEEEEEEE
Yaaaaaaaaaaa
My God I have been waiting so long for this
And me, in fact so long that I forgot about it 😂
@@rumanuu haahah same
me too can´t wait for the next one
As a North American, I am amazed at the age of some of these man-made landmarks. A pier from the 13th century? A huge harbor from the 1800s? Wow.
bmw325num99 England's full of old castles and ruins. 👍🏻
Yes, well it was only because we got bored after making all these things that we then went off and made America ...... sort of!
I;m a landlord and all of my houses were built in 1860. A huge amount of houses and buildings in general here are a lot older than you think. Most towns go back many hundreds of years and the centres of them are usually unchanged in all that time.
Not far from me is Caerphilly castle and that was made in the 1300s and is is massive.
@@mrdojob Hey mate... There's still Neandarthals roaming the streets here in Llanelli.!! lol.!
@@griffspeed I thought I seen one escape into Cardiff last week. That's what happens when they find public transport.
I'm glad you're crazy enough to continue doing this. It's been a really interesting perspective into a country I really ought to visit.
Great video and good to see the safety is improving! As others have said, tie the auxiliary outboard to the rib to avoid losing it over the side. It might be worth using RYASafe Trx to let the Coastguard know your journey, departure and arrival plans. Especially as you get into quieter waters, you should make sure someone knows your plans. Portland Bill can be very intimidating, you could have been much closer inshore at the point you went round (certainly in rougher weather), it stops you being pulled into the race! Looking forward to the next instalment - have a look at the River Yealm when you head towards Plymouth.
Some 20 years ago my buddy and I took a trip from Helsinki around Åland and back to Helsinki with a 4,5 m outboard motor boat. We thought that we were so bad asses and a bit heroes. But this journey of yours is something else, really. Raising my hat and thanking for these especially enjoyable videos. Good going guys!!!
Hurray! I can’t wait to watch this with my son. He’s 2 and we watched your other two episodes. He always says “boat show, boat show!” Thanks for sharing your adventure.
He will be 42 by the last episode 👍😂
Literally my favourite series on youtube. Thanks for this! Inspiring!
Really enjoying this series and someone else who remembers the Portland bill theme
This channel is by far the best I've seen in a long while... casual, yet high quality documentation of actual activities and life happening. No scripted bullshit, no "content" for contents sake. Please keep documenting your life on youtube and not living it for youtube.
WASP Gaming: Complete with mistakes and errors (said from a viewpoint of an instructor). You’re right it does make compulsive viewing, even if I’m shouting “nooooooooooo what are you doing” at the screen far too many times.
Keep it up chaps if you’re reading this.
Great to see the vast amount of comittment you put into this. And the drone imagery is amazing! Keep it up
This is the most enjoyable series on RUclips at the moment... a story about a half-baked adventure, an uncompromisingly rugged and beautiful coastline, friendship, and messing around in boats.
Love what your doing!
When you make it up at Scotland, feel free to give me a call for help or any assistance you may need? Would love to join on one of your legs.
I run a small marine engineering workshop on the west coast (Largs marina)
All the best and stay safe
Scott
We’ve all been waiting so long!!!
Loving the history lessons and cinematic shots - this adventure feels like it should be on BBC 2 every week! Can't believe this channel doesn't have more views (yet). I find these episodes soooo relaxing! Can't wait until you reach Scotland :D
just to let everyone know "smelly bum Horace" is doing fine and working as a plumber in Wales and is working very hard on his personal hygiene
john craig what?

Thank you for making this wonderful mini-documentary. I will say the series reaches me on a deep level and excites my adventuring instinct. I really enjoy the series thank you.
The music, shots, drone shots, the montage. This videos make me feel a lot of things men. Congratulations. Huge fan of your work.
Come for the adventure; stay for the education! Support bloke is a superstar, eh? Great fun, thanks guys!
Slightly agrarian start but sooo glad you're back. Believe me. Portland Bill is not Cape Horn by any stretch of the imagination, it's less of a shambles. '-) I loved Salcombe and love your style. Used to possess a collection of paper nautilus and fossil Nautilidae...all lost in the flood. Stunning adventure, good luck.
your cinematography is second to none! Outstanding
Another great episode Harry. Love this series. Word to the wise, I'd personally attach a safety lanyard to the spare outboard so you can secure it to the boat before you lean over the transom to mount it. One rouge wave on the roll when you're over-reaching and the engine will plummet to the bottom. I have seen it done. Not what you want when you're already in a pickle. Best of luck with the journey!
lovely video mate, just a tip, you might want to attach your auxiliary outboard motor to a bit of rope, attached to the boat, becuase outboards cannot swim!
Thank you chaps - brightened up my day on a stormy afternoon. There should be media awards for this type of RUclips content. Informative and entertaining.
I recommend you add a tether to the backup motor incase you drop it while trying to put it on. A friend had one of those smaller engines completely fall off, and in rough weather putting it on would be tough.
Around 200million years! Awesome series dude, loving it
Really enjoying watching these, they are painting the UK I’m such a stunning light 😊
Alex Blake That typo brought a smile to my face. You can make it better by adding a full stop in front of ‘I’m’ 😂😅😉
This series should be on Netflix harry!
Hope you get the rest of the "1700 miles in a tiny speedboat" episodes posted soon before i go mad with anticipation! I think everyone is watching to see their particular piece of coastline shown, I know i am!! Thanks, Dave
The vegan pork pies had me worried for a second there. Terrific job taking their food away from them. You have my respect sir
Youve come a long way since the first video in this series. A little advice from a marine mechanic: make sure that honda has a good thermostat and flush it with fresh water as much as you can. It will rot out from corrision.
I'd second that about the flushing. All you need to do is run it in a barrel of fresh water every now and then.
A sacrificial zinc anode helps too. Electricity + salt water + metal = electrolysis. Also known as galvanic corrosion. Fresh water is far less prone to the effect.
Fantastic video, well done. The BBC should commission you !!
Not the BBC, he'd have to have a gay and a female in the boat with him.
Really love this series!
I'll be honest I thought episode three had gone horribly wrong and we would never see you on RUclips again.. Welcome back!
Another brilliant video...used to have a very similar boat years ago, but as someone's mentioned above.. definitely tie your auxiliary engine on.. youre bound to need it on choppy seas and the chances of dropping it are great.
It's been done before and in smaller boats. The difference is the other people who did it slept in their small boats and didn't come ashore once. These guys are a fair bit older though and need their comforts, so I will let them off. Lol. An accomplishment all the same. Well done guys.
You should have 3 million subscribers. Your content is top notch.
Harry, you are proper bonkers and you're brilliant and we love you for it. THANK YOU for your videos and perseverance!!
It's a great adventure and we are all on experiencing it thanks to you, so a big thanks from me!.
Brilliant video guys, so inspirational, what an adventure, can’t wait to have ago myself.
Brilliant. Been looking forward to this. Didn't realise you weren't doing it in one long trip. Doing a sea journey in December... well, you're a nutter but I wish I could do the same.
hi whats stopping you ?
Not owing a boat
Please don't buy a boat, thinking that this could ever be done in one trip in a small not seaworthy boat says enough.
Another keyboard warrior
@@NigelMarston They're EVERYWHERE!
Very exciting. I love these videos. Please continue to provide history lessons as you pass new locations! Can't wait for the next one.
Splendid video chaps! Absolutely brilliant thanks, looking forward to seeing your next voyage.
I am really enjoying this series. Such an exciting thing to do and along the stunning British coastline and awesome filmmaking and great music, each episode is compulsive viewing! Thanks!
Redeemed I like the back up engine and safety test, and your new knowledge of Inner sea danger areas
Great video as always! Looking forward to the next one as it's my neck of the woods... South Devon!
I enjoy these videos so much, even the building sense of impending calamity. It’s like the blair witch project on water.
Just found your NEW video while on my work lunch break. Excited that when i get home I'll be cruising on a speedboat off the coast of England! 🌏👌😆
Forgot I'd signed up to this! That was a pleasant surprise on a sunny Feb afternoon. Genuinely entertaining and more revealing than i'd expect. Keen for the subsequent episodes now. Will be lovely if they come in a tad thicker and faster even if the best does happen for those who wait. No pressure then, lol!
Not just the best thing on RUclips but the best thing out there full stop! Thanks for doing this.....your a breath of fresh air.
This should have been on the television. More more entertaining and factual than most the cr@p on these days.
Matt Lucas definitely agree👍👍👍
Do not stop these series. If your uploads are consistent I could see your channel exploding in popularity. Liking and commenting to feed the algorithm.
Absolutely fantastic, you crazy fools. Always have a knife about your person when you're in a boat. Very good lesson.
I love this series!! Beautiful drone shots. Cheers from across the pond!
Brilliant! cannot wait for part 4!
Absolutely fantastic. Really can't wait to see more of this brilliant series and a huge thank you for the time and effort that goes into making these records of your adventure.
Excellent series - well shot and entertaining
Woo hoo you are still alive! Well done!
Love the video as always! Your camera work and editing ability is always incredible! I never knew the UK could be so beautiful
Beautifully done, seriously impressive! Glad you kept going.
Wow... what a wait for your video...LOL You sure found a great day to take on Portland Bill...
Congratulations on being willing to listen about the dangers and also for making it to Paignton!
Looking forward to the next installment!
I adore Paignton and Torbay. Such an amazing video and a joy to watch
Brilliant filming guys and very informal, nice to of meet ya both
getting there guys. get drysuits (i use a ms 195HX integrity) and an lithium electric pump and you should be good. amazing that you have main + kicker on the boat. now youre reasonably prepared.
some awesome scenery and epic adventures guys 👍👍
Very cool adventure! Subscribed and looking forward to the next leg of your journey!
I lived in torbay for a long time and those drone shots made it look deceptively pretty
All your friends are really nice and cool! I feel I need these sort of friends lol
Great video as always, I love your editing ! Cheers from your French neighbors ! 🇫🇷❤️🇬🇧
Victor Porto French Neighbours sounds like a DJ duo or something. Maybe Daft Punk reinvented, ‘Put your hands together for the French Neighbours!’ 😂
Been waiting ages!! Glad it came. Btw the big grey ships In Portland are RFA. Still use the commercial port. Used to serve on RFA ships until recently.
Oh, and brilliantly eclectic choice of music
I can't believe how invested in this adventure I've become. You are seriously knocking it out of the park with the production value. Those drone shots are breathtaking. You guys are very good at this.
What an adventure! Looking foreward to see entire coast of England from your prespective. Thanks for sharing
Well worth the wait! Good to see you come round my local coastline. Devon into Cornwall now.. . Beautiful! Looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Loving the journey so far
Going around the UK in summer with fair weather cool, doing parts in winter takes the adventure to a higher level
Great film Harry, give us a wave as you go past Fowey.
Does anyone else follow along with Google Maps? I love all the history that Harry points out.
Brilliant, well done beautiful weather. Cant wait for the next section..👍
Another fantastic (part of)journey, waiting for the next.
Thanks.
Brilliant filming, great trip.
Too good....love this adventure. Amazing production.....can't say enough good things about this series...don't die before you finish it! 😄
This a full on TV docco worthy 👍
Get a drogue (on a bridle so you can safely recover it). You are most likely to break down, or Sod's law says your tanks need swapping, in wind and waves. The boat will naturally weathercock so the transom faces the wind and waves and you'll swamp. Swapping tanks or mounting the emergency engine will be a nightmare - not like the smooth conditions on the test run. So, first sign of trouble - deploy the drogue before you do anything ... Literally the first thing you the think of.
Don't worry about the danger areas. The whole country is covered in them. Just ask the coast guard if the MOD web site says they are shooting. Mostly they say they are when they aren't. And monitor channel 17. Loving the programmes.
This is excellent - thankyou for the update on your progress I really enjoy watching these!
Fantastic to see that the journey continues. We all need a support team as cheerful as yours! Looking forward to the next installment :-)
Hats off to you, sirs! Inspirational. As my old boss used to say, JFDI......
Wonderful scenic coast we have, too. Love the drone footage. Thanks!
Thanks for the delightful photography.
i bloody love this channel
Well that was worth the wait. What a wonderful watch (and listen) 👂🏻👁👃🏻👁👂🏻👍🏻
Its so interesting to see all these places I have only heard about. Good man.
Would love to see other video tidbits you've done. The scraps of video animation and any production tips. Your creative use of animation and found objects, etc.
Love what you guys are doing. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Love this. Keep going Harry, massive thumbs up!
Amazing! Lots of research done this time and it shows, not that the others were lacking. The life of an influencer gets more appealing by the episode, definitely got the feeling of commitment from this episode and looking forward to the next. Good luck and Godspeed Goodwin
Im sure you were hoping for a pedant to turn up!
The ammonite fossils are up to 200m years old, typically 170m years. The went extinct 65m years ago.
Such a shame you didnt walk a bit further on Monmouth beach to the ammonite pavement!
It's Chesil beach (not Chisel) but you probably knew that. It's 18 miles long.
I live near Lyme and i love it! Loved the video too!
this video boys was amazing well done
Excellent! This was my Saturday night viewing! I can’t wait for the next episode, I have a SR4 and would love to do what you are doing.
Keep up the great work I love your spirit of adventure 👍
