And thank you, Dylan, for bringing back your unique combi of sailing adventure, great filming, witty comments and not least, a great choice of music. Let's all return to paypal.
Great to have you back Dylan. Wonderful part of the world. It took me back 30 years, when I was diver in the RN. Loved working around the West Coast Islands. On my bucket list to return on ELISE.
Ardnamurchan Point, almost the most westerley point on the island of Great Britain, i cycled there from Lowestoft the most easterly point, my own little adventure, good to see it from the water, a grey dull day when i was there with no wind..lovely film brought back memories of my cycling trip...
Brilliant as always! I’m sitting on our pool deck in Hudson, Quebec, Canada (home of the Melonseed Skiff Grenville) sipping a wee dram of McClelland’s single malt, watching the late afternoon sun sinking in a clear blue sky. The Robins, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and Cedar Waxwings are singing a glorious chorus. By some amazing coincidence, I’m reading Neil Gunn’s “Off in a Boat” ... specifically the chapters devoted to Loch Etive. How perfect is that?! Slàinte and Hold Fast! John
My late best Bud hailed from Kilchoan, good man. Was up in my old stomping ground Loch Goil last weekend, we had the first vans there in 1965, changed days indeed now..;-( What a lovely sail you had.
I miss scotland very much indeed - marvelous place to sail. I am saving up for a return - but google eats all the pies. Any paypal taps go into a fund for a boat with a door
Just shows that you don't need to travel halfway around the globe to find beauty. The draw for a blue water cruisers to access remote exotic locations is huge for sailors, but in reality a well founded shallow draft bilge keel will take you places a blue water cruiser could only dream of.
I think that the places where the sea meets the land are always interesting - lochs, estuaries, sounds and rias are accessible to the boat. I was lucky to be able to sail there - I am hoping to return and am saving up for a nother boat. Of course, if you live in Aus or Texas then this is half way around the world
@@KeepTurningLeft what boat takes your fancy ? I'm looking for a cheap old bilge Keeler to learn with. I'm very experienced with fast ribs and I do sail dinghy's occasionally but the body just can't take the punishment anymore like it used to lol.
@@autoculto7629 it is hard to beat a centaur for price - accomodation is marvelous for 26 feet ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E4ZAlq7pRf4.html
Great video as always. It's a real joy to watch your videos and hear intelligence voice over. But one thing why don't you use Patreon I for one would be more than happy to donate for each video you put up. All the best Steve (A old bloke with a boat he can't really afford)
Lovely videos Dylan , still did not convince me to want to spend much time there but happy to help you show it to us. PayPal tap on its way from you website Cheers Warren
You probably didn't recognise 'Ros Donn', the rightmost of the three ex-fishing boats at the start of the video. You came on board while in I was working on her in Eyemouth and took some video of the Kelvin T4 engine... good to see you have got this far. Ian
Simply marvelous Sir. Good to see it via the RU-vid portal. Could one perhaps countenance putting a 'footage filmed' date in the video description, as an aide memoire as to the timeline of your travels? Kind regards.
Time is but a concept. This was filmed in 2016 - within three months of filming Moidart I had run out of money, sold the boat and not been back since - it was in 2016 that google ate all the pies
Speaking as a tight fisted Jock, I think it is only fair that all comments on pronunciations should be accompanied by a donation to Dylan's website. Keep on sailing fella, we have missed your dulcet tones and look forward to more. You have to complete the circumnavigation!
in some ways I have completed the circuit - I bought the boat in this film in cornwall and then sailed it up the Irish sea to scotland - however, I still have a lot of this wonderful archipelago to explore. I want to film the outside of Ireland nd also go up the shannon.....
I think I contributed Dylan £20 a year ago ish. Just at the time he went website only. I do find it more convenient and accessible on RU-vid though, as the new videos are only one simple click away. Kind regards.
Excellent video. Moreover we have the exceptional bonus to have a sailing video without horrendous elevator music or heavy metal (or Bach - Mozart for that matter) : live sound is 100% to have the real feel of what the whole video is about. Thank you …
the proper holders are £40 a pair - and they get in the way when cooking in harbour. The vice grips (mole wrenches) were £1 for each - seems to work pretty well
I ran out of money in 2016 when the bikini sailors arrived on the scene - I sold the boat - not been back to scotland since ... so this is old material. I take my time and eke out what I have left .... I think about the scripts. I am watching the market for a basket case fisher 25
get in your boat, go and sail the coast of ireland or Norway - make some really nice films .....and then read as the complaints from the Norwegians and Irish come in for your terrible ponunciation.. I come from a place in London called Holloway - with a silent H. It is near Arringay and Befnal Green
@@KeepTurningLeft Sorry - I was only joshing! Your vids are great! Although originally from Glasgow I now reside in another place which catches the unwary - Dulwich!!
Scottish place names generally elongate the first vowel and shorten the second. Oban is Oh-bin, Etive is Eh-tiv, Tarbet is Tahr-bit, Malaig is Mah-lig etc etc. Not a hard rule of course. That wouldn’t be the Scots way. Lismore is Lis-mhore. Great video though 👍
sorry about that - as an aside I come from Holloway - us local pronounce it "olloway. But I do not recall ever correcting people when they added the silent H. What we need is a scottish linguist to buy a boat and sail in scotland while making films. That would solve the problem - are you volunteering Chris?
@@KeepTurningLeft Having listened to Rab C Nesbitt with born and bred Glaswegians and Shetlanders, not one could understand all he said. Best not get his narration.
I am from Norf Lonnon. 'Olloway to be precise - I would never be so rude as to attempt to correct people when they sound the silent H. That aside H, did the film have no redeeming features?
I come from olloway in London I seldom crit scotsmen when they add an unwanted H to the allowed name of my lonnon burah. That aside.... how was the film? Have you ever seen a better film about Loch Etive?
Just refound your channel after an unknown number of elastic years. You've mellowed. A new word for your first 10-15 seconds. Is firkling, also unknown to speel chequers spelled furkling. A chap who posted a highly technical method of mutual and reciprocal configuration that forced the interworking of 2 BT hubphones of differing versions (remember those?) to both simultaneously work on one pstn line. All questionable code and legality. He described the activity that led to this successful hacking as firkling; poking around his shed/workshop at the same time as the dark recesses of his mind's logic which he couldn't quite grasp the how of, but could feel the outside shape of. His wife called it getting up to a lot of nothing to achieve the same result as normal (nothing) but firkling was just more out of her way. So anyway, in the first 15 seconds, that came to me as apt. Another phrase was Jumpers for goalposts, which came later on in your galley. An excellent post. I shall return.
please don’t go down the road of trying to pronounce place names like a local ,it’s both pretentious and a form of cultural appropriation.. if people mimic my accent I assume they are taking the piss .
I am from Norf Lonnon. 'Olloway to be precise - I would never be so rude as to attempt to correct people when they sound the silent H. That aside CD, did the film have no redeeming features? As you mother no doubt told you..... if you cannot think of anything nice to say best to say nothing at all
Loch Etive not Eteeve, a small price to pay for excellent filming and editing, The Scottish Isles close to my own heart having done a few sailing expeditions there myself, what are you going to do once you complete your anti clockwise circumnavigation ?.
My Scottish Langauge advisor is from Dundee - I will blame him then. I am 65 now. I have only done around the top and down to Glasgow. I have all the isles to see, around the back of Ireland, up the Shannon, the coast or Wales, Channel Islands, Brittany and then drop dead on board in a quiet anchorage on the River Ore - to be found with a scotch in front of me and a packet of sour cream and chive pretsels on the saloon table. A smile on my face.
