Sailing Around the Top - Shetland to Outer Hebrides | Sailing Florence Around Britain - Ep.188

[@earthangel8730]

Matt is always so kind and respectful to Amy when she prepares their meals. "Thank you" always. ❤ The closing skinny dipping scene was just lovely. You two! ❤❤

[@northeden8661]

I tried to explain to my friends the cinematography of the sailing videos that I watch and they just don't get it. They watch tv. Their loss.

[@paton57]

I follow a dozen sailing videos and some really great cinematography and narrations, Matt and Amy had me hooked from day one and probably the number one would be Fleming yachts with Tony Fleming his narration is right up there. Haven't owned a TV in over 10yrs

[@brettharrison2237]

They can go watch “lack of reality” tv.

[@bwfvc7770]

Yeah well to be fair mate, they didn't build that fkn big Chimbley, they just brought it to us.

[@food4sail]

How do you like the inflatable kayak? Is it new? I believe it’s the first time I’ve seen you use it. Thank you!

[@geezenslaw]

I worked and lived in Norway for many years offshore and on vessels for maintenaince... I'm impressed... Fair Winds... P.S. BTW very well done vid... Polished and captures the interest... (:

[@AndyStrzelecki-on1kp]

Hi Amy & Matt, Have followed your world travels every step of the way. Hugely enjoyable! You are now doing exactly what I had been planning for years, to undertake single-handed in my retirement. Boat (Sabre 27)ready, I'm ready and then a terminal and aggressive cancer diagnosis. Life can be tough! Anyway, if you are planning to stop in Milford Haven, my home port, I would be very privileged if we could meet so that I could shake your hands, talk sailing and thank you for all the pleasure you've given me. I know this may seem very presumptuous , so I won't be offended if I don't hear from you. You can always say you're past Milford Haven already! 😊

[@raywalton53]

Andy, I wish you well with your treatment. Like you, I too have followed Matt and Amy from the beginning. They are two wonderful people that honours others and craft of sailing is amazing. As an older retired pastor, I will carry you in my prayers. Regards Ray, from Australia.

[@smart193]

Hi I met matt and Amy last week while in Scotland... I was telling them about my health problems.. I had aggressive cancer i had radiotherapy and changed my diet to a alkaline diet and used rso rick Simpson oil...I was given 2to 3 months. Im now cancer free had the all clear 6 months back now.... keep fighting don't give up.. best wishes.. this the first video iv watched, wow an amazing couple and great vids, il deff subscribe and watch more.. good luck in your fight

[@bobcapen1682]

Stunning videography! Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@norman4991]

Better than any others, your videos are magnificent, capturing the experience, environment and history so well. Thank you!

[@gordonknight]

I follow a few sailing channels, and am happy to watch them on whatever device is handy at the time, but I always watch Florence on a large screen, in the best format, to really appreciate your wonderful camerawork. As an ex-dinghy sailor, I also enjoy watching your sailhandling. Too many examples of others with flogging headsails, slow electric winches or what seems to be a lack of knowledge on how to get the best out of their equipment.

[@ronaldwilliams9606]

I have been a long time subscriber, I have watched all of your videos (twice), I know at some point your going home for good, so I came up with a great idea, turn around and go back around the world again. Its just a thought. But I love you guys

[@raywalton53]

You two are a class act! I love watching your video's. Thank you for being who you are and thought behind your presentations. God bless…

[@richpb01]

Worked in the oil industry on both the Shetland Isle's and The Orkneys in the early 90's. I am so glad that the quality of videography is giving these two island's justice and exposing their true beauty and amazing history. I have since been living in Sarawak, Malaysia for twenty seven years, but my heart still gives a flutter when I see my home country, Bonnie Scotland. Well done Matt and Amy, you guys are Legend's..

[@Bill_N_ATX]

I’ve been a Patreon for a couple of years now and it’s episodes like this one that remind me what a bargain supporting this channel really is.

[@edprotas4148]

It is just incredible to think about all the history these ancient lands have seen. Yeah, driving an EV in this area must have been a surreal experience.

[@timothydunn5889]

Your seamanship (can we still call it that? ) puts several high profile Australian, New Zealand and American channels to shame. Small example, having a dedicated shackle to lash the anchor to you. Boat looking great after the shave and haircut, and you two are at the top of your game. Full respect and admiration.❤

[@jamesburdett2644]

Matt’s been to the same “charm school” as me, breakfast arrives “that’s better than normal” 😉(just kidding, great vlog as usual)

[@MrMichaelcurran]

I am awe struck by your sail bout England. History before history excursions that only sailors can acheive, you to are extraordinarily.

[@VaninaVlogs]

*Scotland 🫢

[@MHow1900]

I really enjoy your filming and editing style. So many channels make actual sailing very boring.

[@justsomeguy6474]

Scotland has the most dramatic countryside!

[@Steve_Hubbard]

Hi Matt and Amy, I just read all the amazing wonderful comments, all I can say is DITTO, many thanks for all your great efforts in providing the best content on the tube, stay safe and enjoy (Jo says Hi xx

[@aspasiabibas1819]

You've captured every shot so beautifully! I can't help thinking you're both very conscious of giving us a very professional episode each time.

[@davidalexander-watts6630]

I think this is the first one of your videos that I have watched, now a subscriber.

[@malgraham351]

So hoping you go to Eigg Thanks Amy and Matt stunning

[@brendandownard4740]

Great video and footage as always but I believe they did have metal tools 5 thousand years ago. My study of older civilizations revealed many different metal tools. Apart from this bit of miss information, lovely video. Cheers

[@stephenauty2402]

I think he meant heavy plant like JCB's , Cranes and Dumper trucks...hydraulic machinery like we have today

[@patriciathorp4911]

Do you miss the sunny climes of the tropics? Watching your videos, I do😂

[@lentongrovetrust5201]

I love watching your videos, the quality is amazing. No click bait, bums or boobs just real good sailing to interesting places. Thank you.

[@robertlaird6746]

Beautiful filming! You have the best sailing channel in that respect. Your story is also awesome. I guess that's because you only post every other week which gives you enough time to make great videos.

[@SiC886]

The drone shots are fantastic, something you'd expect to see on National Geographic. As well as the informative videos of all the locations you two visit, oh and of course the sailing! :)

[@johnravensbergen3324]

My favourite was the flute and fiddle music, and of course the amazing views

[@BackVintageWines]

Hopefully you will also enjoy the treshnish isles, staffa and iona (despite the iona sound being shallow) on your travels...

[@Sailor_Greg]

Amazing! You guys have the most authentic sailing channel on KZbin!!!!

[@Stakman1]

Amazing sights. I'm so glad your plans got changed, I am so loving this trip. That two person kayak is pretty cool!

[@carolbeauvois1533]

My husband and I love your channel and the history lessons. Although we are warm weather sailors, your videos and images make us want to be there too! The landscapes, seas, and weather are amazing and quite a contrast to what we have in Florida 😊

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Wow what a adventure love the colours of the flowers thank you for taking me along on your trip

[@johnmcanulty7341]

Such an amazing part of the west coast and, California. Wait. Ooops!

[@janbraddock6688]

Stunning filming and such interesting commentary. That water looked so cold. Brrr.

[@music-man]

Just amazing. So beautiful and to sit next and to touch a building that is older then the Pyramids is thought provoking about who sat in that very spot 5000 years ago. The closest i got to that was visiting the acropolis in athens. Have a great sail. Cheers all the best.

[@martyjones1413]

Inflatable Kayak? Looks like a top bit of kit, but after watching for years I know you both, research/choose wisely. a great addition to the "Machine" for exploring.👍

[@pmorph]

Amazing sailing-- I like the technical aspect of managing both weather and tides. and well done for going for a swim... that was courageous! Phil

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor great episode ❤

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for a beautiful presentation of the islands.

[@philgardiner445]

That is some pretty schmick cold/wet weather gear from Gill that you are wearing!

[@camielkotte]

Lol. That was a decent size freshwater bath tub for a couple of sea nomads. 😂

[@ndufresne68]

Brilliant videos but please reduce the volume of the background music it drowns out the natural sounds of sailing, rowing and hiking!

[@caromarco6315]

Loving seeing this part of the world!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

There is something magical about this. It's indescribable. Thanks for sharing. 🍀

[@elainem4025]

I hiked through the Orkney Islands, the Outer Hebrides and Skye on many occasions. These are truly magical places and it is so incredible to see you exploring them from the sea. Good luck on your journey.

[@ingostahlmann484]

Lovely story ,best filming and wonderful music,thanks so much for your work!😊

[@gatecrasher1970]

was in a bad mood before and watched this and cheered me right up as i would love to do the same voyage in my yacht when i get it finally ready

[@mickeykeymoaw]

Broadcast Quality. Beautiful.!

[@philipwright7186]

The irony that only your experience stopped you using the auto route planning tool! Thank God you ignored it! Another great episode.

[@ronaldmcinnes7840]

thanks for the visit to the "Stones" and the historical journey in your travels.

[@artsmith103]

And all the info!!

[@BonnieVolkle]

Just subscribed, beautiful video. thank you!❤

[@-hopskinny5865]

Well, as I have said before, I don't think any other sailing channel equals your skill in filming seascapes - that short sequence with the leaden waves and a dolphin was a great example. And you have provided the best views of the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae that I have ever seen. I don't know how you do it, but your filming gave a sense of scale and perspective that I have never seen before. It isn't easy to get to those places when you live in Aotearoa, so I am very grateful for your skills in bringing those places alive. The same could be said about your filming of the Broch - a quality and explanation I have never seen before. Thank you times lots and lots!

[@ginnypeckham4022]

Have you watched the No Bullshit Just Sailing channel?

[@thebarnaclebill]

I love these videos, makes a change from watching the AC 75s flying around at 35+ Kts off Barcelona

[@davidnichols147]

Amazing cinematography, script & editing. Love the last bit, skinny dipping in cold fresh must have been awesome. Your channel is the best on Utube.

[@tgchism]

Amazing sites beautiful captured!

[@mattw785]

Great stuff

[@soggybottom3463]

Glorious, well done gang! Great to see the inflatable canoe....welcome to the club!!!! xx🤗🤗

[@debbydhill]

Gorgeous country! Beautiful capture, love your cinematography!

[@DVanHamlin]

Epic video! Well done. The fresh water swim was crazy, but my favorite shot was the very end with you two sharing a drink with sunset in the background. That should be a print or a postcard.

[@philthefarrier9469]

I hope you both get to enjoy and realize the work you have put into your lives and can feel the joy that it has brought you.

[@nmd14723]

Top Class editing and accompanying music 👏

[@anthonywalton4423]

WHAT A SAIL !!

[@Coleen-Love]

Wow.. I must say that I was skeptical about this cold water voyage and thought it wouldn't work. But wow.. was I wrong. Scotland looks awesome and very interesting! Now my complaint is that I wish you would post videos weekly. I always so look forward to them. More please. This might sound strange but your story telling might be your stronger skill than actual sailing -- or maybe they complement perfect.. might have to think about that.

[@nickbenfell4327]

What an incredible video. I will watch it again.

[@lloydbrown9327]

Thanks for another great video! The landscape is similar to here in Newfoundland! It's amazing how all the rock structures have survived! Very interesting videos! You are doing a fantastic job! Wish I could be there! Stay safe from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦

[@Coleen-Love]

Are these places all part of Scotland? It is so beautiful in some fundamental way. Especially @18:01 onward. You made my eyes mist up.. It really got to me for some reason. Hard to believe that this place exists on the planet. Forget all the hot sunny sunburn places with massive insects and reptiles that want to eat you.. Spend the rest of your life right there. The video quality is off the charts good.

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

Thanks. This is all Scotland, but this is the summer and it looks a bit different up here in the winter!

[@stephenauty2402]

@@SailingYachtFlorence It doesn't , just slightly colder.

[@earlmiller5242]

Love these two!

[@georgemorris9971]

Last time I was in Loch Bhrollum it was in a 21ft boat with two six year old children. Crossing the Sound of Harris we saw the Royal Yacht Britannia and when we moored in Lochboisdale the Queen and her party went past in their RIB complete with picnic basket in the pouring rain

[@Ourgrandvacation2023]

Beautiful video! Thank you so much 🎉❤😊

[@georgebrown6013]

Absolutely the best, the best! The way they weave history into their adventures is subtle but impactful. Like watching a National Geographic documentary, really.

[@kimberlyonseastar]

Beautiful episode

[@stuartsutherland7664]

Lovely video! What's your opinion on the Decathlon inflatable kayak you're using? Is it very stable? I've read that unless they're properly dried they can start to pong a bit.

[@markstokes3685]

Quality production. Just the two of you put the BBC to shame

[@camino06]

I love your tender. Rowing is great exercise, quiet and no smelly fuel on board!

[@geraldtribbe6363]

Love how green everything is.

[@sailingmarilynkaye]

Thankyou both once again for an amazing episode, you guys rock

[@timlarcombe9096]

Fabulous photography you really have that and the editing nailed. Well done the both of you.

[@Blueybob]

Luvdit. Thankyou.

[@oshinnflyer]

Absolutely loved this episode - thanks for sharing a glimpse into your lives and travels! ❤️❤️

[@ronaldleach9899]

As always.... very impressive video. ❤⛵ 😊

[@robsadventures4653]

Absolutely Amazing

[@DaveJohnEllis]

Wonderful filming and editing, great job

[@SonyaBarnesOnMove]

The Brochs favor the Kivas of the North American indigenous people in the west, although many were underground. Reminds me of what we saw in Mesa Verde in Colorado and Petrified Forest national park in Arizona.

[@richardpurvis8999]

Always amazed by you two. Highest quality video.

[@briansmith1720]

Another epic sail ty.... Brian

[@artsmith103]

Remember the nay sayers that criticized this whole itinerary? I knew it would be epic and I don't even have to deal with the rain :-)

[@TarquinWildridge-ul4ih]

Brilliant as always 👌

[@jameswright8695]

I Love seeing and learning about the UK from your adventures, you Matt and Amy are my favorite channel on KZbin. I Love You both and I thank you 💖

[@pauldent7067]

Stunning.

[@vaughansamuelson6552]

You do all the work and we get all the enjoyment. Thank you and keep it up.

[@davidbroman8391]

Spectacular scenery! Fascinating to see such historical structures. I take it the water wasn’t Caribbean warm 😂

[@barryfisher4734]

Have you always had the ability to raise the main sale from the cockpit or is that from the refit you did. It seems it would be super handy!

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

We have always been able to raise and reef the mainsail without leaving the cockpit, it is a real safety feature. After the refit we can also deploy the staysail without leaving the cockpit too.

[@JoanOfArgghh]

Breathtaking and gorgeous! Thank you.

[@marktahu2932]

Thanks for another outstanding video, I was just wondering how you both feel about all the improvements that the refit brought?

[@SailingYachtFlorence]

We are loving the improvements, we will make a video towards the end of this season to share how the refit work translated into real improvements onboard.

[@petersoakell6950]

Great, last time I checked in you were underneath a waterfall in a jungle. 🤩

[@Andre-yu3qs]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
