Embark on a Huon River Dinghy Cruise: Enjoy the Unforgettable!

[@james7149]

Great work on this one mate. You caught the feel of the Huon with its classic tannin mirrored water. The Erik Sate “Gnossiennes” version was outstanding and matched the mood of the river. So looking forward to Kettering given the sneak peak we had…

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks for the great feedback. Always appreciated. I purchase the music off Artist. I hope the artist is properly rewarded.

Loved this as I enjoy everything you folks put together thanks mate👍😎

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Glad you enjoyed the cruise!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Loved the video.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks Barry. It is a beautiful part of the world. I’m up North at Tamar heads tonight. I’m sleeping ashore but parked Sarah Ann At an old abandoned dock near the pilot station. It’s blowing its guts out. Not used to leaving her alone. So I’m a bit worried. I need some decent fenders! I hope your leg has healed up? Looking forward to catching up if you get down this way any plans?

Oh my friend nothing makes the heart swell more than seeing a wooden boat with all her finery proudly flying. Thank you once again for another fine ride along Cheers and enjoy a well deserved beer

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks Dave. You will enjoy the next one where I plan to focus on the Wooden Boat Rally. Thanks for keeping in touch, it’s appreciated

Pleasure to watch. Very tempting...

Very Pleasurable.

Thank you.

Beautiful video, Chris. Thank you very much for your effort in making it and for sharing your experiences :)

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

And thank you for watching. Next up I’ll be showcasing the amazing boats of the Kettering Wooden Boat Rally.

[@duncan18663]

Great video - thanks for making it. Your boat is really beautiful. I love the drone footage too. I can't wait to get a boat now!

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

I’m glad it helped to encourage you. Step in slowly with a small boat on smooth waters and work your way up.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Can you help me with ideas on how I can improve the videos? Thanks, Chris

[@duncan18663]

@@SmallSailboatCruising sure, I'll have a think about it

[@matthewjoiner-q5b]

Lovely calm mood prelaunch, no panic along with Eric Satie minimalist music. Thanks for sharing libraries of visual footage above and below the surface.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Absolutely. Thanks for keeping in touch n

[@waderogers]

Well done chris and Wade to go coming to the aid of your fellow mariner. Beautiful sailing conditions with 10 to 12 months of wind.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

It was indeed.

[@timothydunn5889]

35 mm SLR on the cockpit bench. You're taking this old school thing seriously. 😊

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

It’s actually a mirrorless digital. Made by Olympus and a bit retro styled which I like. It’s waterproof to IP 67 but I’m not planning to test that out.

[@timothydunn5889]

@@SmallSailboatCruising Oh, you've let me down badly. I fondly remember my Olympus OM1.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I am very fortunate to have been out a couple of times around that neck of the woods. It's one of those rare places on Earth where the natural beauty of God's creation is somewhat overshadowed by the natural beauty of man's creation... namely, the beautiful yachts that are seemingly a penny a pound around those parts. Your presentation has done the region justice. The Tasmanian Tourism Commission should be compensating you for your efforts. In the unlikely event that you are ever short on material, may I suggest a tutorial on how to convince one's wife to sell the family home, move to Tasmania and purchase a yacht. Thank you for your efforts. I have liked and subscribed. Cheers.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks for your encouraging feedback David. It sure is a great place for sailing, and many many beautiful wooden boats have been built here. Helps that we have Bass Strait in the way or we would be overwhelmed!

New subscriber. I sail on the Pamlico River and the Pamlico Sound of Eastern North Carolina USA. Washington NC is our home port. Sail 23 ft (7.0M) Balboa/ Aquarius. I hope you don't mind me stealing a couple of your ideas for my Boat "Croatan". Happy I found your channel. I've been binge watching. I think I've seen the restoration, engine install, St. George Mnt. among others. Pretty work Chris. I envy you Sara Ann. she's beauty. She's a proper little ship. Bless you for your commitment to the channel and your boats.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks for connecting Tim. I visited North Carolina in 2015. Very pretty place. Chris Sly on Facebook @smallsailboatcruising is a good place to connect with me for a conversation. I would like to see some photos of your boat. I’m not familiar with the design. I’m glad you got some ideas worth “stealing “ 🙂 God Bless. Chris.

[@Andrew-pr9jd]

Always keep a herd of Goats in the fridge! - yes good beer, but I prefer the Tassie stuff when I'm visiting.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Let me know when your visiting next and. Will share one with you.

[@sailoutofagarage6212]

Very nice despite lack of wind

Drifting along through life has its pleasant side.

Thank you.

[@bardarians]

I can live like this.

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

It is a beautiful part of the world best enjoyed from or near the river.
