Thank you, I will definitely visit again👌😁

Wow, it would’ve been amazing to see back then😊

Awesome...Thank you Richard👌😁

Well, I can't comment in that regard🧐 however, I must say some have been really friendly and helpful 😁

@bruce3077 well, don't give out their names or they'll be fired for spoiling the reputation of the immigration department.

If your'e not joking, that's disturbing!

Thank you, I trust the quality of my vids will improve as I continue you learn better filming and editing techniques, which is happening organically😉 Fortunately Cyn was aware of the dangers of the trees, being poisoned by them doesn’t sound pleasant at all🥴 We probably dodged a bullet😌

It sure is👌😎

Yes, it’s very beautiful!

You are most welcome! Thank you for watching😊

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it🙏😊

Thank you🙏😊 and nice to know the correct pronunciation now😉😎

Actually no, I didn’t attend it, but I do intend to visit the bay😊👌

I prefer boats than planes also😅

Great to hear👌

Thank you Silli for your kind words of encouragement🙏🏻🥰🤗😌

Ok. Thanks 🙏🏻😁

I may be biased but personally I like the external look of the Buccoo Reef more, however from my observations the APT James has a better quality of finish🤔 But like you say both a great👌💪

Apart from them up the lighthouse, it’s all my original content😊

Thanks for asking, all good👌I was at Chacachacare, along with about 28 other boats that came down from Grenada!

@@bruce3077 great, hope to see some video of that

It's coming 😉😁

Cool, they are amazing vessels, I lived in Hobart for 30+ years, and actually saw Buccoo Reef leave for Trinidad😊

That’s exactly what it is👌😊

Hi Norman, apologies for the delayed response😌 That's exciting for you, I hope it's everything you imagine it to be! Will you just sail locally, or will you travel? No boat is perfect, but overall I've been very happy with Monastrell! She's nicely laid out, very comfortable to live aboard, fun to sail, and so far has kept me and others safe. Having said that, there are some things you need to look out for before buying! The cockpit benches are 170cm long and although it would be nice to stretch out fully, they are an acceptable length for 😊 All the very best to you😁

Thank you, wev'e been very lucky with very little effect from it🙏🏻😌

Hey Cyn, they were in March!

Thank you Cyn, it was a wonderful day for sure🙏🏻😁

Good advice, the motion of the ferry when there is swell would definitely make some people nauseous👍😊

Cool, I'll certainly make sure to wave back 👋😉😁

I've heard that...but no ghosts...maybe they only come out at night😰🫣😄

@@bruce3077 you may have to camp on the beach at night to meet a few ghosts.

Hmmm..🥺🤔😨😅

It's an awesome spot Peter that seems to be a well kept secret🤫 A bit like Tassie was all those years ago😁

Thank you Cyn for your kind words 🙏🏻 Great to meet and hang out with you guys😊

Thanks guys for your kind words...it is nice to be on the water again for sure!! I've been enjoying your vids also👌😁 Where will you be for hurricane season?

It certainly is👌😁

Cheers, glad you’re enjoying them, and thanks for the positive feedback🙏😁

I did explain in the description that I accidentally must have had the GoPro set to time lapse, then had to slow it down in editing, hence the stuttering😊 Hopefully that's what occurred, and not GoPro defaulting to time lapse on it's own😜

@@bruce3077 LOL I missed that - thank you for the video.. getting to terms with parking my 47foot as well. and have a tendency to back in.. love seeing how others do this stuff.

I don't pretend to be an expert, but as mentioned I do love the boat handling side of boating! At this dock I reverse in, because often there is a side wind that pushes the boat against the dock, so it's easier to leave it facing forward😊 I'm also interested in how others do it👌

No to little wind helps,...but I've done it before and since with wind! One time in the Med, it took 3-4 passes/attempts with an off dock quite strong wind, with not a soul around to help😅

Next time has already passed, but I'd love to try that one 👌 Have you done it yourself?

Cheers Andrew, it was a huge moment! I have video of many more boats but not sure about Calypso🤔 I’m still planning to get into the Pacific, finances permitting, but in the meantime I’ll head north, maybe as far as Dominica, after I finalise a few things in Trini😊

Totally agree David, I won’t be using it on passage, the dinghy usually sits upside down on the foredeck. I use the frame at anchor sometimes and the height means I can still open the hatch while getting some shade😊

Cheers Jamie🍻😊

Thanks Charles, she is gorgeous⛵️😍 I’m looking forward to some journeys too😉and I’ll be sure to share them here😁

Thank you Silli, it was amazing😎😱

How did you make it to the top? I’m here now and they are telling us that the very top is off limit since 2019

It is an incredible bit of technology!!

Cheers🙏🏻😊

Thank you🙏 No we didn’t see a name, it was very dark and they often were shining a spotlight directly at us! I agree, they were negligent to do what they did, especially to cut the net and leave without checking whether we were sea worthy still, or not!! Definitely lives were at risk!

Thanks for the positive feedback Mike🙏🏻😊 I agree, and I've seen some pretty dodgy things during my extended stay on the hard, in this boat yard! Fortunately overall it appears, from my observations, to be a minority of boats, but still disturbing that some people will use boats with obvious defects below the water line, but most disturbing when its an obvious keel issue😱

Good question👍 because it provides great weather protection, and the deck area acts as a bit of a outdoor storage area and workshop while preparing the the boat😊

@@bruce3077 Are you planning on launching her soon? If not why did you step the mast? Just curious. Thanks for responding!

Yes, I sure am, I'm hoping to be ready to splash end of this, or early next week🤞😊

That’s sooo cool to hear, thanks for letting me know🙏😊he’s a lovely man!! Has he seen the video, do you know? Alchemy was a really nice boat, you did well to get her! Please pass on my best regards to both Keith and Paul when you next have contact😁
