FIVE BLOKES, FIVE BOATS - a weekend cruise in company

[@DarrenMalin]

A very civilized gathering of 5 like mined gent's. This is how the relationship between the British and France should be :)

[@wendygilbert7939]

I know nothing about sailing, but keep coming back here for the peaceful company, sound of lapping water, seabirds, and the peaceful music you select. Love it. Thank you Roger

[@james7149]

Roger, you are one of very few KZbin vlogers who give us absolute joy when you post a new video. The atmosphere of place, of embracing life and your passion for sailing is inspiring…thank you🤗

[@maartencoeman1253]

Jipiee! Always happy with a video from roger...

Ensign at half mast... hits home even if not an Englishman. She filled millions of hearts world wide

[@ramblerandy2397]

Another excellent video, Roger. The thought just came to me that, after a skiing accident in the early 1980s, I took up an opportunity to go sailing just to strengthen my body, mainly day cruising in small boats and dinghies. And at the first first sight of the wind being captured by the sail and feeling the power, the movement,and the rush of the water bubbling under and around the hull, all my environmental impact thoughts became focussed. I was instantly entranced by sailing and viewing your videos invariably reminds me of why I live my life as I do. Small boat sail cruising could help many people realise all the beauty in the world that needs to be looked after.

[@mnmgreen]

Yes! Thank you for sharing your dinghy cruise.

[@CharlieBulla]

Those WaterShed dry bags are the best. Been using them for many years. Thanks for the continued videos. It’s got me motivated to get back home to finish the restoration of my 1973 Cape Dory 14’ Handy Cat. Hope our paths cross one day soon. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@backtothebarky]

Appreciate the nod to her Maj. Good man. Great vid.

[@maryjomagar7154]

Hello! I am a longtime subscriber who has never commented before, but today, I want to tell you how much I LOVE your videos/channel. I am in the United States, born and living in the Southwest, which is an arid desert climate currently experiencing drought conditions. I have only been on water a few times in my life, but I hope one day to have an experience such as your videos so beautifully show. You are a true artist, in every sense of the word. Many of your video shots/scenes appear otherworldly; they are so beautiful as to be literally mesmerizing. Also, I often find myself singing "Footprints in the Sand." I even purchased a Breton smock, naturally dyed with madder root, so as to live the dream as fully as possible! Many Thanks, With Best Wishes to You for More Sailing Ahead . . . !

[@RogerRoving]

Gosh Mary. I am very flattered. Thank you.

[@davidpoots8362]

@@RogerRoving Wow Mary, I can't imagine not being near the sea. I also love Roger's videos and bought a small sailing boat this summer because I want to follow the master, if you ever get a chance to visit Ireland .......

Thanks again Roger, I had a little smile as today is Trafalgar day 😁

Another lovely video, thank you! 😀

Two or more sailboats sailing in the same direction is always a race Rodger!

[@peterjohnson6273]

Always enjoy your video, Roger. Thanks for them. :>)

[@philipwright7186]

Another terrific insight into why being on the water is so special and so wonderfully therapeutic. Your videos speak for themselves which is a rare treat. And yes, you're very lucky to be surrounded by clean French water.....

[@davidharris4062]

Another cracking video

[@jamescrego5904]

Always interesting to see your chart and detailed description!! Nothing better than cruising with like minded sailors!

[@caferratti]

I'm taking the opportunity to watch old videos while waiting for your next video

[@franciswashack89]

Roger, I have enjoyed your videos for some years now and at this time I cannot live near or travel on the waters. Your videos remind me of how much I loved the inland waterways of the state of New Jersey U.S.A. For your videos are so nice and simple and nautical, that I enjoy each one, even though I live in the Mojave desert.

[@tgotsman]

What a joy, gentlemen. Peace. Love. Truth. Thanks.

[@loloaqici82qb4ipp]

Delightful. Thanks for taking us off for a weekend of bobbing about on the water.

[@loloaqici82qb4ipp]

Is anyone else getting the Telegram "prize" response to a comment? This is obviously not Roger's doing so who is this spotty gamer doing this?

[@andyschmid7259]

Dear Roger, I am new on your channel and do not really have an affinity for sailing boats. But your videos are so relaxing, fascinating and focusing on nature, that I could not stop watching them :-) Just great, thank you very much! All the best from Switzerland, Andy

Superb! Thank You

[@Karkawry1970]

Charming, looks a lovely relaxing sail. And thanks for giving a nod to what I can only assume you are referring to the woeful state of our UK rivers! So sad, and greed as usual is pivotal!!

[@RogerRoving]

Yes, I don't think I'd wash my crockery over the side there. Very sad.

[@shanegeard9306]

Another gem, thank you Roger

Saved for later. Will need it. Had a relative bussed into hospital, today, but things looking ok, now. Waiting on final word as I type. Glass of the amber nectar, a mince pie and a Roger Barnes video will hit the spot, this evening!

Ah! Sounds lovely.

Roger Barnes et son magnifique Avel Dro qui se promène dans une de mes balade dominicale préférée. Tu as choisi la bonne saison pour visiter Loquirec, sa petite plage exposée sud est noire de monde durant l'été... Loquémeau est un autre magnifique port aussi que j'ai découvert il y a 20 ans avec une partie de la famille de la mère de mes filles qui vivait là bas... L'embouchure du Léguer est belle aussi, la météo était au rendez-vous, superbe vidéo partagée encore une fois, pour donner envie de naviguer légé sur le Léguer 🙂. Un grand merci et un 👍 comme toujours...😎

[@gillesfressonnet501]

You would have to spend the first night in Toul an Hery little harbour. Closer to Locquirec and very well sheltered mooring !

[@jhenline7813]

Loved it Roger, the music too, Thankyou.

[@КазимирАйтматов]

[@mikefule]

One of your most enjoyable videos for a while. Thank you. Circumstances have kept me and my dinghy off the water for a few weeks now, so it's nice to get a vicarious fix.

Two+ boats with the same heading is always a race ;-)

[@philiporourke7896]

Fun vid to watch, thanx.

[@markdarley3825]

Another lovely video of a beautiful part of Brittany. Locquirec has become our regular stopping point when towing the boat over from Devon on the ferry, going to eastern Brittany from Roscoff. We ‘camped ‘ there on “Foxwhelp” at the Locquirec campsite on our way back from La Rance just last week. Despite an awful forecast we spent a week tshirt sailing in late October!

[@RogerRoving]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@clydelindsay6657]

Hi Roger, my little boy and I love watching your videos. We were wondering if you were out on the water now?

[@RogerRoving]

I was yes!

[@bruceswabb7145]

[@quentinsf]

Delightful as always. How do you feel about the Ventile now? I have a Ventile jacket, which I love, but I'd be interested to know whether you'd pick it again if making a new tent?

[@brucebrown9604]

As we keep our sailboat in Roscoff, it is really delightful to see a video of ”our playground". Having 1,5m draft makes us weary of sailing too close to the rocks or into unknown rivers, so I was keen to see your trip. With twin keels, we can however dry out, but best to know on what, and if it is reasonably plane...! Was that an epirb I spotted in the stern storage of your boat? Thank you for sharing!

[@richarddickson3211]

Hello mr Barnes . I am contemplating building an Ilur. A ply kit version. As a retired boatbuilder it has its attractions , you can get it CNC cut, but i plan to cut it out myself. I have enough tools to do it !! I worked for Cornish crabbers for 20 years, and most of their boats had a galv steel center plate , from the 17 upwards. I have seen the odd Shrimper in the videos you make. Q ,. Avel dro has an alloy plate, would you think a galv steel plate would make much difference, plate down it might? Up not so much,. Keep making the excellent videos.

[@seancadman9411]

Hi Roger, what are your sails made of. Thanks Sean.

[@RogerRoving]

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Nice video Roger, a couple of questions if I may, 1 what model of GoPro do you use 2 how is the ventile fabric now after you have used it for a while and your early shrinkage issues.

[@ahahanic6490]

Thanks for the great video, Roger! Do you ever get bothered by nocturnal arachnid stowaways while camping? I’m always inspired by your trips but think about all the creepy crawlers that want to eat me as I’d try to sleep in a harbor. My dinghy is always infested but I never see that part of sailing in your videos. Thanks again

[@RogerRoving]

In England and northern France they're not really a problem. Scotland. Ah Scotland. Beautiful Scotland is a little different...

[@piotrn9309]

I think Roger you have got new sail on you boat?

[@linusadventuresandtravels]

Hi Roger! I am looking your "vlog(s)" since s long time and never let/made a comment, but today i want to tell you, that this video is fantastic! All your videos are really nice, but this mood of calmness and simplicity decorated with wonderful landscape and various impressions of Brittany makes me: happy! As a German i went with my motobike to this years "Wheels & Waves-2022" to Biarritz and on my way back home i visited the Isle de Mont St. Michel first time in my life. Besides: It was my first tip to Brittany. My short trip to this extraordinary masterpiece of archtitecture and my night in a small Hotel of Pontorson inspired me. Brittanys coast must be spectecular as far as your videos showed it so far. I will come back with my small ship in the next future-thats for sure! I am now refurbishing a small and over 50 years old english boat: a HALCYON 23 which i found in the Netherlands nearby Amsterdam. More or less "forgotten" and in a bad looking condition, but worth to bring it back to "sea-life"! Didnt published some vids of it but will do it, when she´s sailing in the next spring. Her name will be: Plan C. I would like to visit your recommended places with my sailing vessel in the near future and: probably we gonna meet each other at one of those places...!? I would appreciate it! Best luck (and health!) for you and your wonderfiul boat, Linus

[@RogerRoving]

Thank you. I feared people might find it a little boring. Nothing really went wrong. Nothing really happened. We just went sailing together...

[@jctothel]

Roger, may I ask if you are still a practicing architect? Found your old video about your practice very interesting.

[@RogerRoving]

Yes I am, and I took the trouble to protect my ability to practise in France against Brexit. But due to Covid putting a brake on my ability to travel back and forth, I am now going to concentrate on work in France rather then the UK.

[@jctothel]

@@RogerRoving thanks Roger and so pleased you can continue to practice in France despite the despicable occurrence of Brexit. Love the videos!
