Seawych, Solo Sailing, Red Admiral, Scilly Isles to Cornwall 

@@69spook there’s a lot to be said for adventures in small boats like ours. I had a great time and some great sailing. Looking forward to the next already and not even planned it yet!

Thanks- I’m really pleased with this stove. It’s a modern German copy of the Origo spirit stove.(google compass spirit burner). The gimbal assembly and pan holder I bought from EBay and the Wooden box frame I made myself from reclaimed marine ply. It’s nice to know that others like what I do. My boat has been laid out to meet my needs and is far from looking modern- but it meets my needs and is very comfortable.

@@Roy-gi5ul they have a new Scillonian apparently. Replacing the old one. I love the Scilly isles- I will be going back to explore it more.

@@lewis26ful thank you. Sailing can be as expensive as you want it to be. But I am a sucker for the shoestring approach. Glad you enjoyed it.. makes me think it is all worthwhile filming and juggling it all together. In which I have limited skills!

@@jasonjoyce4487 Definitely worth it. It’s more relatable for the most of us that sail on a budget. I have a pocket cruiser on the crouch. My benefit is that you don’t need crew or have to organise much to go out for a sail.

@@lewis26ful exactly that. It’s more independent for me to sail this way. It’s swings and roundabouts- no one to help, but then I can do as I please, when I please. And a boat this size equipped the way it is, I can remain independent.

@@paddyfore yes, the tide was pulling strongly south. The wind was north east. So on the port tack, I made a north west track back over the ground I had covered. So I stayed on the south east track and managed to gain it back when the wind went north westerly as predicted. Plan B was to stay on that if the wind didn’t swing as predicted and then done the port tack long after Lands End to take me back into Mounts bay with the tide then being on the Port Beam. The tidal flow down from the Bristol Channel was brutal. The course made good was vastly different from the ships heading. Surprised me!

@@Spud63 I just got a head and chest mount. Hands free is good for me. I did film the early part of the trip but hit bad conditions in the Dover straits. So bad I had to forget about filming at the time. I also lost footage from Penzance out to the scillys- still trying to see if it went to the cloud. Gutted if I lost it permanently.

@@jasonjoyce4487 keeping safe is more important than filming , have you tried a cam on the end of the boom alot do that

@@Spud63 not on the end of the boom.. that’s a great idea. I’ll try it next time.

@@jasonjoyce4487 or on a fixed pole on rear say above rudder area , on a drascombe lugger i mounted it on the mizzen mast

@@jamesdunn3436 I’m keeping an eye out for a small inflatable. Seago make a tiny one. Did consider an inflatable kayak but they don’t pack down any smaller.

@@pironiero I only cook when I really have to. And I have to be really hungry to drive me to rustle up something. If and when I do some galley stuff, I’ll be sure to add it onto the footage. I apologise for the music, had issues when editing in a poor WiFi area and was unable to review before I uploaded. I took a gamble and have a few mistakes in this one.

@@jasonjoyce4487 no problem, you are doing better than many
