Sailing at summer's ending

[@kenstewart1253]

This is by far the best small budget video I have ever seen on youtube, bar none. Beautiful.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

I find this so incredibly relaxing especially with the choice of music.

[@Cotati1956]

I am a veteran dinghy sailor here in the U.S. and I can verify that your observation about fishermen is a global truth. I was once sailing close to a dock to make a landing at an established boat launch and had a fisherman cast his line directly in front of my dinghy. He was quite upset when my centerboard snagged his line and came to lecture me about it. Even when I pointed out the large, "No Fishing" sign affixed to the dock he still reasoned that I was at fault! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, please keep them coming!

[@Kitiwake]

You can't block a navigation... Golden rule of law

[@gthack371]

Maybe global, but not universal I hope. Spent many hours fishing the canals of Northern England, always always pulled my gear out for passing boats, a nod and a wave. Peace :)

[@Jmmondeau]

Cotati1956 yes I snagged a guys line once and his pole broke. He was blocking the channel and I never saw his line till it was snagged. I gave him a used pole later that week to avoid the argument. People with shallow minds have big fists. Pissed me off but I took the high road.

[@jamescavner4242]

Once again you have created a calm, in the midst of unsettling times... Thanks So much...

[@robmarykunzig5533]

"They do have their moments!" - well played Roger! Edit: also that opening scene is delightful!

[@henrythenavigator100]

I have really enjoyed your stories account of voyages in Southern Brittany and Loire Atlantique. Some 15 years ago on a slightly larger boat than yours ( 23’-00”) I visited the area. Was going to stay for a year, but stayed for ten! Better weather than UK, brill.food if you like mussels and oysters, cheap (excellent at 3 euros a bottle) wine, really interesting coastline with lots of off shore islands to explore and all very different. And of course the Morbihan which must be unique. But perhaps most of all is the attitude the locals have to small boat sailors. So welcoming and friendly. If you have the time do go. You won’t be disappointed.

[@cthereisnospoon]

I was all stressed today. Came home and my whole youtube feed was stressful !@#$, so I typed in Roger Barnes .............. ahhhhhhh.

[@timmiddaugh3701]

Thankyou for including us in your travels

[@muddy0048]

Your disaster film is still so calm, poetic and heartwarming. No wind, foul tides, ornery fisherman, dried out at an angle, towed, rowing for miles, rain, and of all things, no bolt! Love the new music too. I ran out of wind last weekend in a channel and learned that the centerboard is loose enough in the box that it thrashes around in the wakes. Unnerving, but again, what wonderful problems to have right.

[@jctothel]

Another fucking wonderful video Roger! Please never stop!

[@ulfpettersen5732]

thank you for bringing some peace in the house after a hard workday . pause get coffe, grapes run up and unpause . tranquility sets in

[@gregoryfletcher6198]

Another great film. Thank you for the inspiration, back to shed for me to finish upgrades on my boat for summer In New Zealand.

[@marmac567]

A feast of nautical fun... Thanks for sharing...

[@gillesfressonnet501]

Beautiful choice of music. As melancholic as summer ending is !

[@ianwaudby7737]

I have 'Binge watched ' your previous videos (more than once) whilst I treaded water waiting for the post-lockdown episodes. This was worth waiting for. More please.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Nothing better than a September day under sail. 😎❤️👍🏻👍🏻

[@superwag634]

You know what would be cool? Showing us how you setup camp when it’s raining and the challenges faced and also the solutions. As a yachtsman, I always wondered how it’s done on dinghys. Great show. Well done 👍

[@kimmccullough6802]

What a beautiful video. Sound track is perfect.

[@olusionist]

Your cinematography is always so stunning and beautiful. You picked a perfect day. Thank you for your work.

[@troytreeguy]

Simply fantastic, from the scenery the boat and host to the commentary on fishing and sailing! Throw in a little comic relief at the end, well done.

[@sardinho]

I love the shark with the lifting eye passing by the stern at 3:52

[@sergehorion7155]

At the beginning, the lack of comments enhance the beauty of the music. Very nice music.

[@thegodemperorofmankind7yea704]

Now you’ve ruined it for other people by adding a comment

[@ndsailor]

It’s currently raining here, I could watch this all day. Thanks for the work you put into these videos. What a wonderful friend you have in Mary.

[@clifflong1203]

Sublime tinged with a hint of sanguine only sailors could understand.... nicely done mate

[@mikemiller9867]

Spot on Roger love the sculling eye view👍

[@jameslamb4573]

Sir, your videos are such a refreshing change from the "high-energy" subscriber hunting dross one normally encounters on KZbin. An erstwhile sailor myself I find, even to this day, the lullaby of the slap of rigging against mast, and gentle Rock of the boat while at anchor guarantees a swift and "amiable" descent into slumber. More power to you and your dinghy cruising endeavours.

[@andyjarman4958]

Especially after two days without sleep and having rowed most of the 80kms!

[@johnthorn923]

Best wishes from New Zealand Roger. I enjoy your videos immensely, thank you, I’m 76 and getting out occasionally in my 17’ trailer sailer. Fair breezes.

[@geraldtonjjeeper]

Lovely, Roger! You have captured the charm of small boat sailing with the footage, music and mood! Most relaxing and watchable! Thanks!

[@gregsmith7142]

I’ve heard that “the adventure begins when things go wrong”. Thank you for sharing your adventures - handled, as always, with grace and good cheer. My Lugger has just arrived - inspired by your films. Thank you, Roger.

[@thameswanderer]

Roger, you have the patience of Job! Another excellent video. As an ex - yacht owner and a committed Francophile you provide me with the best of both worlds. Vive le sausisson sec! 👍

[@paulboden7850]

Sculling is a knack that takes practice to acquire. Lovely video and music.

[@plymouthwelshboy]

I'm speechless.....nay shocked......accepting a tow from a plastic tub......... :) . Lovely video, as always. Thank you for all the effort, so inspiring.

[@markcourtney7251]

plymouthwelshboy did you see his trip up the Tamar? Bloody windy!. Mark Plymouth

[@andyjarman4958]

Yes but you own your own egg whisk, hitch hiking is not nearly so compromised as hiding one in your lazerette.

[@plymouthwelshboy]

@@markcourtney7251 yeah the winds can absolutely whistle down there....

[@plymouthwelshboy]

@@andyjarman4958 one never hides it.....it's there for all to see.....hitch hikers will always be welcomed 😁

[@MegaChekov]

well done again All the best from John in Texas

[@carlallen2505]

One of the best posts on you tube.

[@Drlnunno]

How nice to spend some pleasant time with you on your sweet sailboat. Thank you 🙏 👍🏻⛵️⛵️👏👏❤️

[@ildut4921]

Merci et bravo à Toi Roger.👍🙏😎

[@paulfisher852]

Amazing film Roger. By far your best I feel. An honest assessment of dinghy cruising and surpasses even "the homely dinghy". Great opening sequence with your silhouette against the skyline.

[@tim-youtubewatcher2726]

Thanks Roger, you made me laugh with that one, first with the direction pointing and then with the revelation of being towed. The day you were rowing with no wind I was rowing my little dinghy to Wild Cat island ( on lake Coniston) in a wind so strong I could barely move.

[@neilmccartney6573]

Lovely rowing Roger ,, calm personified as per , we spent the day and night in Treboul last saturday ,,, had some lovely walks around the coast into Douarnenez , passed your bar An Ifern which seemed closed all weekend ! And stayed in our Camper outside Treizour boatyard ,,, thought you may stroll past but alas ! We will get you that coffee one day haha ,, Neil &Liz ...

[@ankerwiedemann]

Excellent. Great little expedition

[@vinm300]

Great photography (again)

[@sardinho]

the soft shackle + low friction ring used to secure the sheet to the clew looks interesting and very practical for a lot of things on just about any boat

[@georgeburns7251]

Thank you. Just what I needed today . The music choice was perfect too

[@jonfisher9214]

As both a fisherman and a kayaker I've been on both sides of that situation. Thank you for your patience. I can normally call ahead of me when kayaking and ask anglers where they would like me to pass. Showing that I don't want to disrupt the fishing is usually enough to placate them, but then of course I don't have a mast...

[@johndouglass3010]

Great video. Best wishes from Brisbane, Australia

[@daleskidmore1685]

YT is going to have to make a bigger thumbs up button, this one is not big enough. Absolutely fantastic vid, loved every all too short minute of it. Such atmosphere and scenery, along with those Minke Wales (?). Loved the music too. Fair winds Roger.

[@Johnson_KB]

Fantastic story, capturing a great adventure ⛵ 😁

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

The shots in the beginning were absolutely epic. The entire video content amazing. Thanks for all that you do to bring us along.

[@buschtaxi75driver55]

Gosh....so relaxing.....great adventure and really the best for summer's ending....

[@robertdarwin9897]

I have been waiting for another wonderful video and you have not disappointed. Thanks Roger

[@jamesvan-lint7351]

Thanks again Roger for a lovely film and for showing dinghy cruising, warts and all.

[@tiemanmalcolm]

I’m going to say your best yet! Greetings from down under. Loved the music as well!

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

Thanks for making this Roger. Very relaxing time watching this.

[@windmillproductions4061]

Loved it, good sailing and great scenery, thank you

[@woodthorpe100]

I am not a sailor and never will be but I enjoy your videos immensly

[@rogberube6422]

Great video, Roger. Excellent choice of music. Les images sont magnifiques! :)

[@davidsturmer3646]

Very enjoyable video, thanks for posting!

[@YachtHunters]

Fantastic!! Felt like I was right there with you!

[@peugeotsport5]

Simply stunning film- as someone else said, the combination of music and cinematography captures the beauty and atmosphere of sailing in a unique and special region. Yet another brilliant piece, congratulations Mr Barnes! 👌👨🏻☘️

[@shempdoll]

This weekend we canoed 40 miles from Paw Paw to Hancock on the Potomac. Shorter distance than your adventure considering it was statute miles. Still, a beautiful long weekend in the mountains on the water. No passing sharks though. :)

[@TheBoatRambler]

Great videos Roger! That's what sailing is all about!

[@johnhines852]

Downwind departure with the tide. Excellent planning!

[@alexbowie6316]

That was nice Roger. Light, mood and setting at beginning of video was captivating.

[@rda3000]

I’d love to know more about Maliki, looks like a wonderful little cruiser.

[@Easterly888]

Dual daggerboards, interesting design, haven't seen that before.

[@RogerRoving]

Gilles’s designs are very interesting.

[@jasonreid611]

Love the channel...been watching for a while. With very light wind and a gentle bob on the water I’m sure I’d nod off.

[@desdeelmuelle4085]

El mejor video que vi en mí vida , es este! Grande Roger!!!

[@ramblerandy2397]

That was a bit of an adventure. Coastal sailing in a cruising dinghy [mine was generally the Solent]. Becalmed, dried out, rowing, for goodness sake. Avoiding the fishers [tell me about it], and to cap it all - towed. At least you didn't ground out in mid-channel. I'm assuming the centreboard/plate was retained by its haul rope. 😉 Unmissable video, as always.

[@cntsay1]

Another fabulous video

[@julanesutton9626]

Spectacular. Blessings.

[@stonetoolcompany3649]

Love these little adventures!

[@ashley-tm1uk]

love your style roger...you ...the rig...so pure, and organic ...the total experience must be incredible...the rich sounds of the wood hull , mast, working with the natural fiber rigging against the sea and wind...i hope you continue your quest for adventure and simplicity for many years to come...ill be watching out for your postings...warmest regards...ashley

[@brianbee2869]

Greatly enjoyed your video Roger. Landlocked in Colorado, your videos are a nice escape. Thank you.

[@mac69041]

Another delightful video, thank you .

[@alvessail4718]

Great video. Hopefully will finish my boat soon and follow your example. Thank you.

[@johnmason6443]

Loved it.Thankyou🇩🇰

[@LBJHJP50]

I am so glad I have found this channel, I was watching some Tom Cunliffe videos and you popped up! I am not a marinor but did go on Class de Voile in Granville when I lived near Mount Saint Michel, funny because now I must just be down the road from you living in Bridgwater. I hope to sail La Manche once again, until then I shall live vicariously through you, x

[@patricklaine6958]

Looks like great fun (and good exercise). Thanks for a wonderful video. I sail the same waters, but can't get as 'close to the edge'. ;-)

[@Majoofi]

You two should split a bottle.

[@MrBeracah]

Have thoroughly enjoyed your videos too Patrick, any new ones expected.?

[@vklaassen1]

I love your videos, Roger

[@sarkybugger5009]

Beautiful footage, Roger. Thanks for bringing us along. Merry Christmas.

[@GamerKidEdits]

How splendid, thank you for sharing with us. Fair winds...

[@andrewanastasovski1609]

That was a beautiful video. Looked like a relaxing sail though, but sometimes that can be good too.

[@michaelchartres]

Yet another great video. Many thanks and regards Michael

[@markames3688]

Lovely footage, when it wasn't raining. Enjoyable thanks.

[@quentinwoods8811]

Thanks Roger ! You capture such a content and tranquil ambiance in your vids’. Simple pleasures, great rewards. 🚣🏻⛺️🗺🌦🌬

[@leechamberlain1273]

Great video as always Roger. Thanks for posting it .

[@papajeff5486]

Roger, I have watched your videos for a while now. I’m becoming hooked on sailing once again. It happened when I was a boy, age 16, on a freshwater lake in Tennessee. Now, I live on the gulf coast of Texas and watch you sail. Seems this dinghy sailing could be a great hobby. I wonder where to start, books to read on how to sail, what kinds of sails go with what kinds of row boat dinghies? This ocean sailing is quite a bit different than lake sailing. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Texas

[@Schultzman]

I also sailed a bit as a youth then watching Rodger and eyeinhand convinced me to buy an old flying scot and get out there. I will be exploring the chesapeake this fall. Good luck to you.

[@Kitiwake]

Be careful... It's addictive.

[@paulboden7850]

I learned the basics in a sunfish. Inexpensive, easy and fun. I recommend it.

[@papajeff5486]

Thank you for your encouragement. I plan to take some official sailing lessons and get out there once again. Texas

[@gordtemple764]

Thank you for for the great adventure. Gord

[@PanosaoVento]

Such a nice video!

[@podrugiejstronie7006]

[@stevemason5348]

That was a pleasant video, well done

Another brilliantly filmed video Roger. Great anecdotes too 👍

[@graeme-sailingskeptic]

Lovely video thank you Roger one of your best!

[@sabejreid2072]

Wonderful trip

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

That was a great adventure ... excellent video! We’re enjoying some fine autumn sailing here in Quebec. Keep well, stay safe and Hold Fast!

[@clearprop]

Just beautiful.

[@thedonnybrookghost8394]

You're one of favourite channels on KZbin 👍

That is the kind of sailing video that should last for hours! Thank you for the inspiration. :-)

Absolutely love your work!
