Powerboat day out: EPIC October in Cornwall

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Have you ever launched in Mylor? If not, where do you launch?

[@123boat]

Yep. Was there early in the morning so not many people about. Great place to launch from 😀

[@BoatzUK]

Great video Tommo looks like you had some fun out there 🛥️🛥️

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@BoatzUK Thanks Cliff, it was a good day

[@SailingWithDave]

Nice boat, I never realised that a motor boat like that could basically negate a big swell by motoring in between the waves. Very handy!! Us sailors have to watch the waves go by, sometimes over us!!!

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@SailingWithDave I know that feeling too Dave...

[@chrisbridgen]

The boat is modelled on an Austin Healey Tommo. I think the chap who owns the Healey cider company in Truro is connected via family to Healey cars somehow. Beautiful boat!

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Thanks. I knew it had something to do with a car family

[@anotherangleUK]

Lovely video Tommo, feels like yesterday I was down there. Can’t believe you only poked the captain with the rods and didn’t fish the Manacles 😮

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Maybe next time the swell wasn't comfortable sat out there otherwise we would have. I went to Newlyn yesterday, is fascinating looking at the fishing boats and the long line set ups

[@anotherangleUK]

@@fat_tommo_goes_boating The big smiles on your faces say it all

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

​@anotherangleUK after a month with my boat out of action, it was good to get afloat again

[@123boat]

Cracking video. Did the same trip a couple of years ago 👍

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@@123boat when you bought your boat! Any luck with selling yet?

[@123boat]

@ Hi Tommo. No luck yet but not expecting to much interest till next year. Had the usual scam artists trying their luck 🙄 Looking forward to going back to my sib next year. I had to scratch the itch 🤔😂⚓️

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@123boat I know the feeling, I have loads of itches but luckily I'm skint, so won't be scratching any of them soon

[@123boat]

@ May the cash gods be with you 🤞and also me 🤞😂

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@123boat things are quite bleak at the moment but let's hope

[@ChrisGetsOut]

Great video Tommo! That swell got quite big! Not sure I would be brave enough for that in my little boat. 😂 Slipway looked nice, hope you did a review of it while you were there 😉Was there a lot of space for car and trailer?

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@ChrisGetsOut yes I have done a review, I have been using it for 25 years occasionally too. Yes, there is plenty of parking up in the boatyard itself, which is a little walk up the road. If you are there early enough you can park in the road too. The main thing to consider is the hills on the way in and out, if the road is wet my van only just pulls my boat up them with wheels spinning sometimes! But in the dry, it's all good.
