Don’t know how I missed this bloody you tube not sending me notifications. Good to see you back

[@stevegame3000]

Good to see you back Dave. My boat is in Poole so may see you on the water one day. Good luck Steve 😀

[@DavesBoat]

Thanks, you may well, I'm sure I'll head to Poole at least once.

[@easybigun7825]

So good to see you back. Good luck for your future adventures.

[@DavesBoat]

Ta muchly hope to be back more often shortly

[@rwhite9958]

Good luck with the new location. I did my sailing courses down in the Solent. Loads of interesting places to visit. Hovercraft, boat transporters, ferries etc etc, very busy but you can always find something to do.. Sure the weather is a bit better too.

[@DavesBoat]

Busy I'm good with it's more the predominant wind and shit sea state of the Humber mouth and lack of access to facilities and skills that's the problem, so I'm optimistic the south coast will be much better

[@rwhite9958]

@@DavesBoat I liked the fact it was quite busy, always something going on. Sure there are loads of good facilities, not had any real experience. I did like it down there. Sea state was generally good as you are mostly sheltered, if not, there were rivers to escape to. Beaulieu was lovely. I know what you mean about finding skilled people, my S28 is in Greece, not easy there. Thanks for the engine servicing videos. Very helpful when I was clueless.

Glad they were some help it's why I made them so others can learn

[@jdsfairlinetarga3790]

Good luck matey. See you at some point all going well

[@DavesBoat]

Yep.indeed definitely

[@markpullinger3916]

Hopefully see you out on the water 😉

Hopefully if you do see me come over and say hi

Ooh, you are coming down to my neck of the woods 😂

[@DavesBoat]

I am indeed, if you see in the news about a yacht crashing or sinking check me out 🤣

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@DavesBoat 😆. In the summer there are supposedly more boats on the river Hamble than there is in the whole of Scotland 🤔

[@DavesBoat]

Lol I can believe that

[@lovelifeloveboat]

Looking forward to the content down south - did you manage to get a rib / small boat in the end?

[@DavesBoat]

I havent yet but when I go down to move wr I'll be calling in and looking at some axopar 28's

[@jameslines5080]

Lots more to do and activity in the Solent and WR could pretty much handle the Solent most of the year round being fairly sheltered although coming out past calshot can be fun on a summers day with lots of wash from boats.

[@DavesBoat]

Boat wash she's fine in its the weird every direction at once 1m rolling chop you get specifically on the humber she's horrible in :( although I have to admit I'm still not confident in shafts and rudders much prefer out drives so if I don't get on then she'll be getting replaced with something on out drives or IPS probably.

[@jameslines5080]

@@DavesBoat Ahh the Solent does have its own chop especially between the Southampton to cowes crossing due to all the tides colliding with each other plus the wind. Another thing to watch out for is the tide running through the hamble marinas making mooring interesting. Also worth noting that anywhere you go to moor in the Solent will require a lot of money so your anchor will soon be your friend for cheaper trips out 👍🏻

[@DavesBoat]

@@jameslines5080 yes I had noticed the chop it's no where near as bad as.the Humber mouth so shouldn't be an issue hopefully, I'm actually looking forward to using the anchor more as there's really no where to use it up here so looking forward to lazy days and anchor that's why I fitted the solar panel so I don't need to use the generator.

[@DavesBoat]

@@jameslines5080 the mooring on tide is something I've already considered since I have literally zero experience so for the first run I'll be taking an experienced skipper with me to do some quick instruction with me on berthing in the flow hopefully I'll pick it up pretty quickly

[@marinepilotchris3048]

I was going to text you this morning (but decided against it since it was 5am!), I didn’t see WR when I passed the last few days so I was wondering where you’d disappeared to!

[@DavesBoat]

Yeah south coast solo handling the big bitch on Grimsby is hard work so going for sunnier climate and hopefully easier / more.useavle waters

[@DavesBoat]

Last few times I went to try and go out the wind was always too bad or the Humber chop was stupid as usual so just kinda given up and my back is that bad now I can't even service the engines myself so need it to be somewhere with easy access to people to do work

[@marinepilotchris3048]

@@DavesBoat you’ll have much more fun in the Solent! You’ll be able to get out much more, good choice!

[@DavesBoat]

@@marinepilotchris3048 certainly hope so plus I'll be going for "holidays" so I'll be there for extended periods to catch good weather. Although I can't say the 10k extra per year berthing was a sweet pill to swallow

[@stevenbaker2857]

see you in banana wharf for a beer. If you need a engineer Chris at signature marine is on site.

[@DavesBoat]

Sounds like an outstanding idea 👍
