Rough trip to Dartmouth

Taking 'Smuggler's Blues 2' around to the Dart to be lifted ashore for the winter.
Please give it a 'thumbs up' if you like it (or a 'thumbs down' if you don't!)

Smooth to slight if your on a 30,000 ton ship ok, but like the rest off us 8 meters and around 3 tons your entitled to sweat or is that spray ,NO fish between your teeth yet ,we,ll call it sweat .Another fine video Nick and boating is less expensive than looking after another mans daughter HA HA

I won't show this one the Mrs. She's coming round to the idea and I don't want to put her off. Although Smugglers handled it well. I liked the shots from the rear camera. Have you considered a insta360 camera ? On a long pole hanging out the rear it would look like you're being followed by a drone and give some interesting shots. You can set them to make the support pole invisible. Cheers for the videos 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'll look into it

[@FLGurl]

I can never figure out why those who are in rough waters go so fast, but I guess it makes it easier to navigate (?)

[@bobuncle8704]

Hey Nick, do you use any kind of stabilizer or any other fuel treatment when you store for the winter, or under normal driving as well? Also, isn’t there some kind of regulations on those crab pots? They seem nasty, and hard to see.

[@keith-777]

Very interesting. I have had experience with a lobsterpot wrapped around the prop. Not funny. Skipper called the RNLI and they didn't buy a single drink that evening, we saw to that.

Hi Nick enjoy your videos, just a question. You dont seem to fly a red duster, any reason? Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I haven't got around to fitting an ensign pole! (I must though)

[@AndyC2_]

Hi Nick Just wondered what is the reason for keeping the boat full of fuel for the winter ?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

All sorts of nasties breed in the condensation in the air above diesel. The less air, the better so brimming is very good form.

[@AndyC2_]

AQUAHOLIC Ah gotcha - Makes sense, many thanks

[@robertmol2251]

Hi Nick, We have exactly the same Leader 805 and we’re based in Holland. I was wondering if you had a good address for spare parts? Looking for aft shower cover and other bits . Love some of the adjustments you’ve made! Thanks, Robert

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sadly not, spare parts remain 'a challenge'.

[@adrianmills9978]

Looked uncomfortable..

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It was okay - wouldn't have done it just for fun
