FIVE BLOKES, FIVE BOATS - a weekend cruise in company

[@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

[@DarrenMalin]

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

[@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

[@backtothebarky]

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

[@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.....

[@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.

[@lauramaunder7152]

Probably my favourite yet of all your voyages.

[@MrOddball13]

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

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks Roger, loved it cheers Paul

[@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. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

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

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

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 .......

[@thetraditionalsailor]

They need to add a “Love it” icon Roger, just for your videos. You set the bar high with your efforts! Thank you. 🇨🇦

[@loloaqici82qb4ipp]

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

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?

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

A delightfully peaceful little cruise, thank you very much for taking us along to refresh out souls!

Thanks Roger, always a pleasure to see there is a new adventure to watch. Everything stops and a wonderful calm settles on the house.

[@ronprince1478]

Thank you gentlemen.

[@dreamtimesv]

Excellent, thank you

[@gillesfressonnet501]

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

[@cdennisb]

Always a relaxing adventure when you’re at the helm, Roger! Thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@КазимирАйтматов]

thank you Roger !

[@davidnichols147]

I love this video!

[@jhenline7813]

Loved it Roger, the music too, Thankyou.

[@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

[@lukedogwalker]

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!

[@photyves7573]

Merci Roger ! Tes films glissent doucement, aussi fluides que ton bateau ... Et quel travail sans doute, tant à la prise de vue qu'au montage, pour nous faire partager la manœuvre, la lumière du soir ou l'histoire des lieux ! Je serais bien curieux d'en savoir un peu plus sur tes caméras et tes accessoires, que tu maîtrises toujours davantage ! ;-)

[@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.

[@daleskidmore1685]

A nice surprise to come back into the house to.

[@geoffreyshepherd5874]

Thank you for another brilliant video,what better could you ask for on a lazy Saturday morning at home…..tranquil,relaxing and set me up for the day ahead.

[@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.

[@TruckerOak]

Awesome!!! Another lovely "movie" from Mr. Barnes! Thank you very much Roger. I truely appreciate your videos! All the best to you!

[@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

Many thanks!

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...😎

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Nice. Was over Lannion and also Auray the other week. Lovely rivers to sail up. Nice video as always. Thanks

[@bernardlash4169]

Your.videos, are a hope of eternal life. I imagine Jesus someday in eternity times to come sailing along with you and others like you in joy and good winds. Peace to you and your companions roger. God bless your smiling face.

P.S. I so love "footprints in the sand" what a tune!!

I think its a good tune too, but I've decided to use it a little less, hence its inclusion here as out-tro music.

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!

[@maxmarbeya]

Beautiful cruise as always Roger 👍

[@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!

Sounds silly but how are you going to the bathroom as you go along?

[@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.

[@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...

[@andypennybrown6848]

Thanks Roger, what's the blue and white flag flying on one of the boats, very impressive!

[@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.

[@hoosiercrypto9955]

The fleet 🍺

[@christophe6065]

What a pity !!! You sailed in my garden and I was not there with you !!! (my boat can be seen at the beginning of the vidéo, half a second). Ok, I was in hospital (can't at different places at the same time). As you sail only one time in the same place, I suppose you will not come back in Locquirec ?

[@RogerRoving]

I’d never been there before. I’d certainly go back though. Which was your boat?

[@christophe6065]

@@RogerRoving At 1'15" there are three old gaffeur at the mooring (behind your boat). Mine is the green one on the left (with the mizzen mast). It is my "big" boat. The one with which I'm going to "sail and oar meeting" is the blue little northembrian coble (may be you remember it...).
