Dinghy Cruising-Who's idea was it to go sailing!

[@mikefule]

That's a clever coffee mug: half mug, half cafetière? Lovely video. Nice to pay tribute to Roger and to Arwen, but your channel is perfectly able to stand on its own merits.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate, in Covid lockdown at the moment , hopefully back on the water in a few weeks, thanks for watching cheers Paul

[@andypandy955]

Dads are to be treasured I miss my dad so so much he eas a kind lovely man. I learned so much from him respect.

[@SailingKateLouise]

I couldn't agree more, thanks again, cheers Paul

[@brucefrye2292]

Roger and you are the two that I have payed most attention to. I'm limited on my budget, if there are rat rods for boats that's me. There's also only a few lakes nearby that I'm learning the personalities of, but I'm having a good time!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Great Bruce, I'm glad you are out there enjoying the fun that dinghy cruising and camping can bring, Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@anotherangleUK]

Thanks for all the videos, very inspirational. Keep the coming Paul.

My pleasure thanks for watching and if you've ever wondered what it's like to sail a tall ship, check out my other channel Sailing Duyfken, cheers Paul kzbin.info/aero/PLPB_l0btIVRX5ubKs-CUtQSEfvKLAmtgL

@@SailingKateLouise Thanks Paul, I wasn't aware you had multiple channels 😀. I've just subscribed to that one.

[@romantiachristiana5147]

Lovely video. Like Roger Barnes, I live in France and haunt many of the same places with my 12ft Zef and my 14ft Beneteau Cabochard "Novalis" with her little cabin. He has become a good friend and has taught me many things after my basic training with the Fédération Française de Voile and the Glénans. I have never been to Aussie. It all looks so clean and natural.

[@SailingKateLouise]

After living in the U.K and holidaying in France many times, I do miss the history and culture, but Australia as you say is unpolluted, uncrowded and always blessed with good weather. In fact it took a while for me to get used to blue skies everyday. Yes we do have bushfires, droughts and a high cost of living especially in Sydney. But we also have a lot of parks and waterways that are unspoilt (apart from Jet skis grrrrrrr!)Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoy the channel and say hello to Roger the next time you meet him. I do leave comments on his channel but he never replies. Thanks for watching again Bon Vie Paul

[@BobLinton]

The Natural sights and sounds make for a fun sail in your area! Keep them coming!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate

[@oldrock9641]

I enjoy hearing the details about your boat ! Thanks. Great channel.

love the thinking behind sail and oar

Thanks for watching Rusty, cheers Paul

[@simtalkayak]

What the flipping heck is that mug!?! It looks amazing!

[@SailingKateLouise]

It's made by Zyliss designed by Sebastion Conran in the U.K. a simple idea that works really well. Thanks for watching cheers Paul

[@graemefenwick6925]

8:20 Cheese! Love your videos, I'm working my way through them all from the beginning.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate....enjoy , cheers Paul

[@OldDadProductions]

Vids getting better and better mate. You're right about the sad reality of trying to find something small and traditional with a lid in Oz - I've been keeping an eye out for a few years now too. I do love my little dinghy, but its just so much more practical having a lid in my opinion. Being able to get valuables out of the weather, or lock them away when you go for a walk, plus being able to get out of the weather yourself, or have somewhere to crash in an instant. So many perfect looking little boats in Europe and so few here, :-( Will just keep on scanning the adds I guess...

[@SailingKateLouise]

Yep Stornoways do come up occasionally around Queensland but contact Scruffie Marine and talk to Annette or Derek they sometimes hear of owners selling their boats.

[@OldDadProductions]

@@SailingKateLouise About how much do they go for?

[@SailingKateLouise]

@@OldDadProductions The kit is about $17K built about $35K but second hand 8-15K

[@OldDadProductions]

@@SailingKateLouise Cheers M8, will be keeping an eye out.

[@markdove3577]

😂😂I get a bit philosophical, like Roger Barnes😂😂Classic🤙

[@SailingKateLouise]

Well I don't get that philosophical (unlike Roger) but I do love the simplicity of getting back to nature in a small boat, driven by the wind to great camping spots with great people. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@nathananglen8669]

Bro, Rodger Barnes has nothing on your channel! Super fun watch. Thanks for Sharing!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi Nathan thank you for such kind words, I need all the encouragment I can get, I don't monetize or ask for patreons just do it for fun.

[@nathananglen8669]

@@SailingKateLouise that you enjoy your adventures is very apparent! Keep up the good work. I’ll be looking forward to your next vid! I’m wanting to pull off some similar sailing adventures on my channel.

[@andypandy955]

If you want to come to France come stay with me I live near La Rochelle. Anytime. Love the videos.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks James for the offer, cheers Paul

Great video, Rodger was my inspiration also. I have sailed various size boats, but I'm most looking forward to getting my 18' lilou2 open sailboat finished and on the lake

[@SailingKateLouise]

Is that Lake , Lake Macquarie or a beautiful lake in some distant land? Post some video, thanks for watching cheers Paul, Sailingkate [e-mail]

Thanks for watching......I'm sure I already thanked you.....GRRR youtube

[@SirPrancelot1]

Just subscribed, the algorithm having popped up this video, and I'm very glad it did. Probably because I watch Roger's channel. Just watched Dangar Marine's latest. Major clearup of debris floating down the Hawkesbury after the flooding.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for watching, I'll check out Dangar Marine....cheers Paul

[@wilsnich02]

I really enjoy you video's, small boat trailer sailing in and around my home waters of Sydney, (Bobbin Head, Brooklyn / Lake Macquarie)

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for watching ,say hello if you see me on the water cheers Paul

[@dougfairweather]

Another great vid... Got me inspired for a bit of sailing on the weekend!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks again

[@perksy67]

Really like your channel mate. Now living north of the Tweed but spent a lot of time on the Hawkesbury growing up. Would love to cruise my dinghy there one day.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate, yep I'm not crossing any oceans with bikini clad partners as click bait, or renovating, just pottering about on the Hawkesbury, Myall lakes and Lake Macquarie. As Stornoways are made by Scruffie Marine up on the Sunshine coast you might see more up there. What sort of dinghy do you have? happy sailing cheers Paul

[@ntbanjo]

I really appreciate your video's. Keep making them!!! I will soon be sailing my American 16 sailboat, it's what I got and what I can afford..

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for watching....I'll check out American 16 cheers Paul

rodger would like where you are too

[@SailingKateLouise]

Lets hope so and maybe one day he will leave a comment, Cheers Paul

[@andyjarman4958]

I've ordered a portable mozzie zapper uses UV light and high voltage, USB charger. Will experiment and let your viewers know if it works

[@SailingKateLouise]

great idea, there were mozzies out last night on the water cheers Paul

[@N.S.A-r3d]

Could you give me the name of the boat kit and where I can get the kit or the plans

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi Don the kits are available from Scruffie Marine in Queensland Australia or in the UK. If you contact Derek Ellard at Scruffie Marine ( the designer and owner) I'm sure he would be glad to help....cheers Paul

[@coalfieldbeelovergerald3687]

Hmm 🤔 not being Assie I have to be dumb n ask. Are mossies what we call skeeters 🦟 or mosquitoes here in the States. When I backpacked taking groups of teenage boys on week long hikes skeeters were often a pain in the high country meadow n swampy areas. Cheers 🥂 Dave. That thunderstorm stuff isn’t fun in high mtns with aluminum ten poles either. Papa J.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Mosquitoes....lot's in Sydney in the summer!

[@abnerrocha351]

Why you guys live in the wather sailing but nobody never eat fish? I seen you like too much mooshrooms.. Im curiouse about this

[@SailingKateLouise]

That's because I'm not a very good fisherman and when sailing on a small boat it's a bit tricky baiting hooks and casting,,,a hand line would be ok, but also most boats don't have holding tanks etc. Thanks for watching, have a great Christmas, cheers Paul
