Another inspiring vlog Donny , I’m fitting out my SIB this weekend and looking forward to adventures . On Wednesday I took advantage of the beautiful spring sunshine and explored the East Coast fro St Abbs to Dunbar mostly by foot, for launch and wild camp sites in my campervan .. Walking with peace in my heart and the warmth of the sun on my face, pushed the horrors happening in Eastern Europe from the surface of my mind , like you I wish them peace . Stay safe and well my friend and thank you for all your hard work and sharing these brilliant uplifting vlogs . Tam .

[@donnywilcox]

Hope you are getting out in the new boat Tam..weather is lovely and Im off again tomorrow ..another video now on line too

[@tamlyon4435]

@@donnywilcox still on the tools getting it and a trailer ready . Nearly there though👍🥃

[@ALochOnTheWildSide]

Brilliant - had a wee fisher on Loch Awe for 20 years at Portinsherrich...!

[@donnywilcox]

Its a lovely Loch so can understand you having a boat on it for 20 years..Im relatively new to the area so hope Im still on it in 20 years too LochonWildSide

[@ALochOnTheWildSide]

@@donnywilcox Innis Chonnel - another great ruin - Kames Bay another sweet spot near Dalavich for fishing....👍

[@robertmcinnes4684]

Brilliant stuff again Donny! I can't get my boat delivered until May, but Loch Awe will be one of my first stops. It's a depressing and dangerous world at the moment, much more so for others. Let's hope for a brighter future.

[@donnywilcox]

Thanks for looking in and wish you the best for your new boat :-D

[@archieblair9625]

[@donnywilcox]

[@jeffstevens763]

[@donnywilcox]

[@untamedjames3957]

Heading up this weekend for a spot of fishing 🐊

[@boatingsibbingandwandering3262]

That is handy as this one is on our places to bring the Rib when we come to Scotland in April. Hope to have a nights camp somewhere

[@donnywilcox]

Plenty places for camping up here Boats Bits..so pick your spot :-D

[@123boat]

Another honking enjoyable video 😁

[@alantipple3684]

Thank you again for a great watch 🎣🎣

[@donnywilcox]

Thanks Alan..new video uploading just now :-D

[@ashleyhoward8926]

I watched a video a couple of years back during lockdown. Some pensioner on the ramparts of Innes Chonel full of Guiness, but I forget who it was. It all looks great from here Donny & you're right, we are lucky to be in the UK just now. Roll on spring.

[@donnywilcox]

Yeah ..I saw that video too Ashley .. it was a guy called Dominic who held that party :-D New video coming on line now :-D

[@paulelgersma3971]

amazing castle, I wish i had castle ruins to explore on the lakes i go to here in Texas. :-)

[@donnywilcox]

We have plenty ruins everywhere over here Paul.. guess we were prolific builders bback in the day :-D

[@djgrazer1974]

Donny did u go out on Etive yesterday.. The 5th.. I was up yesterday fishing from the shore and seen a wee grey rib heading back down the loch..

[@donnywilcox]

Nope Graham ,, %th was on Loch Shiel..the video is now on line :-D

[@SNEVIC]

5:30 - UAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👌

[@kqa5372]

Hi Donny I may be sibbing there. I assume there are no concrete slipways? I dont have a depth sounder and it does not show on my cmaps chart. If I am away from the banks and islands are there any shallows to be aware of except near the castle? Thanks

[@goinfishinalba9811]

Slipways at torran Bay, and portsonnachan

[@crf9993]

have you ever headed down past the hydro plant and the elevated road section or do regs not allow you down there?

[@donnywilcox]

Yup ..you can go down until the dam at the end..its interesting the first time but predictable after that..its called The Pass of Brander :-D

[@SNEVIC]

Subtitles not available in this video??? 😢 very complicated to me to understand your lovely scotish 😒 anyway, I'll be enjoying the pictures 😀

[@colingreer853]

Try going to settings and select 'English(auto generated)'. It worked for me anyway.

[@donnywilcox]

I can try and speak slower SNEVIC ..but that might increase my slow accent .. so bbest learn some Gaelic Language :-D
