That would have been pretty hard I imagine. Wild on a bad day, and the road is difficult in the winter too. And a baby too - you must be made of tough stuff!

This might be a dumb question but are you allowed to go onto private property like that? In the US it’s trespassing unless there is an easement just curious how it works in Europe.
@tarbertsailing 20 күн бұрын
Not a dumb question at all - in Scotland there exists a right to roam. You cannot start wandering through private gardens, but open land is just that - open. You do have to adhere to the outdoor access code, which means dogs under control, close gates and so on - in other words responsible access and not total freedom to do as you like.

Hi there! Realy enjoy your videos and love your home port of Tarbert. We live in North Wales but spent 9 weeks as liveaboards in July and August 2022 sailing to the Clyde via the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. We spent over a month in Scotland visiting many locations and managed to take in the Sea Food Festival while in Tarbert over a very wet weekend! We returned home to N.Wales but last year headed north again to the Clyde and relocated Magic Hawk at Holy Loch where she is currently hard standing. We have only scratched the surface of this spectacular cruising ground and plan to take in much more this season. The Kyles of Bute were very memorable for us in 2022 as the weather was shocking with torrential rain and visibility of only 50m so we didn't really see very much! Better luck this year. Keep the videos coming! Best wishes. Mark
@tarbertsailing 4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind comments about our videos Mark! When is Magic Hawk back in the water? There is a lifetime of sailing up here, and several attempts may be needed to experience the true beauty of a place - as you have discovered with the Kyles - and for some reason, in recent years at least, it always rains on the seafood festival weekend!
@TheSeahawk34 4 ай бұрын
I think realistically, we won’t be able to launch Magic Hawk until the end of April or early May this year. Now our round trip to the boat is 602 miles, we have to plan our maintenance work carefully and hope for good weather too. We were due to travel up on Sunday but with another spell of cold, wet and windy weather blowing in, we’ve decided to postpone for a while. We’ll get there in the end I’m sure. One thing we have already learned about Scotland is that when it rains, it’s at a level above what we are used to in North Wales! But when the sun shines, it takes some beating! Have a great season ahead!

Safe and sound again! I quite understand your concern when she is being lifted....I used to insist on standing under mine when she was lifted.

Wishing you fair winds, smooth seas, and lots more U Tube episodes. Jon

Always a bit tentative doing the antifouling under the boat when she is in the slings, but know what you mean about wanting the crane driver to take care.
