Sailing Shetland's Wild West Coast | Sailing Florence Around Britain - Ep.186

[@carolbopp7736]

Yet again, another Natl Geo quality video. Maybe it's your wonderful Brit accent and the dramatic music ?? It's amazing and I love to watch your adventures. I'm from Indiana, USA and my husband and I sailed for 33 years and always wanted to retire to boat life and travel. Since I've lost him, your videos allow me to travel the world with you. Thank you so much.

[@JoanOfArgghh]

No other sailing channel gives one a feel for the sheer height and power of the waves. It's awesome!

[@andyjackson1898]

It's so great to see a couple that really appreciate the life you've chosen and can sail properly! I've been following you for years now, and you never disapoint.

[@alanbrookes6637]

You have a marvellous partnership and sail really well, I know how difficult at times a circumnavigation is, well done.

[@philipwright7186]

An absolute pleasure to watch. I doubt a professional filmmaker could add anything significant to what you do. Just brilliant.

[@timallen6025]

The camera and drone work tell such a tale of northern sailing , beautiful. What a place! I love too the way that you remain true dinghy sailors at heart and seek to get the best out of the boat and never waste a fair wind..

[@julianbatcheler9970]

I see: ‘this is the best sailing channel’ said about some of the weakest. There can only be one best… great sailing and great photography and two very cool people… two of the best sailors.

I am following an awful lot of sailing channels... you are the only one that gets the waves right... stunning videography!

[@northeden8661]

You two are incredible. Been watching for years. You are like "Hey let's go here !!!" Everyone else is like "Jeeze, that seems a little sketchy." Then you go "Nah we got this." Then everyone likes the video.

[@tomriley5790]

After all the exotic locations you've sailled to it's great to be reminded that there's some amazing sailing and sights right (Relatively!) on our doorstep!

[@tomchristensen8619]

I've been following you for years - actually remember you from you were just a couple of young kids! But still just love following you, and experiencing things "with" you. I have kids your age - and really think of you as some of my other "kids". You are fantastic and delightful human beings, and I'm so thrilled to "know" you. Thank you!

[@kinghymie949]

The standard of your videos is excellent. They are as well filmed, presented and edited as the best of nature films. Well done and thank you. To think each video is prepared and completed by a couple who are also busy sailing, exploring. You also explain what s happening and where you explore clearly and succinctly. BBC and Discovery and National Georgaphic watch out! Thank you again.

[@papajeff5486]

DAMN, that wind, coastline, the waves…The look like a magnificently dangerous sail. How invigorating is that? Much respect…Your sailing skills and Florence’s ability to keep you safe and successful is thrilling. You make me want to learn to sail. Thank you for sharing this. May God be with you…from the US, east Tennessee.

[@vaughansamuelson6552]

A brilliant production once again. Thank you. Florence seems to be handling conditions superbly after your refit.

[@PaulBKal]

Stunning scenery, so beautifully filmed, along with the very essence of the purity of sailing. Thanks so much.

[@tjairicciardi9747]

The production quality of this channel is absolutely amazing. Commercial TV isnt this good

[@kaivonmortazavi8656]

I for one was very happy that your plans had to be changed and you are sailing around the UK. I’ve always said that UK has some of the most beautiful sailing grounds and yet everyone wants to head to Greece or the Caribbean etc. and do the same ole thing over and over and over again. Your channel is as fresh as the sea breeze.

[@briansmith1720]

YOU BOTH are as one.. SOUL MATES... i BEEN FOLLOWING YOU FOR A LONG TIME...... WOW.. FAIR WINDS .... BE SAFE..... ( Brian)

[@normanrubenis7283]

Yet again, a stunning production. This is something I'd like to do on my Contessa. The music gave me goosebumps, so dramatic with the drone footage. Thank you for sharing.

[@gailmariage5318]

We recently subscribed and love your channel. Can't wait to watch this UK series. My husband noticed today that many times, when you are speaking, that the background music is too loud. Just a thought for you to consider. We look forward to see many adventures. Thank you.

[@earthangel8730]

Another sailing masterpiece. Amy at the helm of the sailing dinghy was pure joy. Epic!

[@fransdriesen1311]

Outstanding..The selection of the music gives quite a deeper dimension whilst watching your videos..

[@sailingmarilynkaye]

We love watching you guys thankyou both once again for an amazing episode, sharing it with us, take care and stay safe.

[@tomst9417]

This channel is such a welcome respite from our troubled world.

[@walkerig1]

Great video of the waves and sea state. I know all the other sailing channels complain their videos do not give a true idea of how big the waves are. You seem to have mastered that part of the art filming for a sailing channel.

[@chinoodin4735]

Amazing! Love the many perspectives given of the areas visited and the human spirit exhibited for the fun of adventure. Definitely get my sailing fix when I’m able to tune in to the next episode. So enchanted by the experience of the sail and the discovery of the day. Thanks for sharing so much of what you can. Can only imagine the temperatures with sea spray and callus winds up yonder while thinking fondly of those Viking brethren who came so many centuries before. Safe winds; safe landings. Cheers 🥂

[@bigbadthesailor5173]

There are many sailing channels on KZbin none of them quite so just all about the SAILING as yours, add to that superb photography and your lovely selves and it's just a joy to follow you!

[@ianbell5611]

Great video. Truely amazing cinematography with perfectly selected musical accompaniment.

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

UK coastline and names of places I've never heard of. Brilliant footage 👏 Thank you for sharing.

[@maxst6647]

Bloody exciting! Well done!

[@kevnorth9812]

Best intro I’ve seen in years : true British Quality. Top job !

[@morecowbell20]

And I thought the south tip of South Africa waters were questionable. These North Atlantic waters are something else! As always, superb ... everything!!

[@martyjones1413]

Again documentary quality of the highest level 👍

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you. You bring me to places I will never see and you do it beautifully.

[@dennisdickson2892]

Recommendation: When possible show how the refit has benefitted your sailing experience. Thank you!

[@richardwheeler103]

After your last video an idiot 's comment encouraged you to "not become a tourist channel", that he watched for "the sailing". Of course, you two are too classy to ever respond to him. I presume he got his share of real sailing this week! I am a LONG time sub (almost from the beginning) coming out of the woodwork to thank you for what you do. You are the best KZbin sailing channel and it's not even close.

[@nealeburgess6756]

Wow, those dark seas, big waves and rocky coasts looked very unforgiving. I am glad you both were able to use your extensive sailing experience to safely navigate them.

[@piolsson1248]

Thank you for real footage of real sea conditions. It's interesting how respectful the ocean becomes due to the elements. Must have been a blessing to be there with no people around.

[@peterlightowler3807]

Great camera work on the gannets! So professional, it was like watching a BBC production. Great work guys!

[@maramé.r]

Amazing, impressive quality of production, editing, presentation and choice of soundtrack music. Some great sailing and natural history sequences and interesting geographical content (as always)

[@philipc.1306]

I certainly do enjoy visiting all these beautiful places with you two. Anyway to put a time stamp so that we can know when you visit these places? Thanks for taking us along.

[@Einar_Runarsson]

Neat! Love the Gannets. Theyre called Súla in Icelandic. My boat is named Súla after them 🙂. Good winds!

[@andyjamesable]

Another stunning episode, .. they just keep rolling in . Here in Asia we can only dream of having the wind and conditions you have .. as I am sure you well remember from your time here in Thailand, the engine earns its keep !

[@robrussell5329]

Muckle Flugga - I think I've found a new expression when I hit my thumb with a hammer. Much thanks!

[@tgchism]

Over the years of watching your videos there has really been such growth in your abilities to capture some just spectacular moments! I can only imagine the wondrous sights you both have seen! Beyond the videos, I would think there is thousands of photos as well! At some point I hope there is a book telling your story and that its full of images from your travels! It would probably take volumes to do it justice!

[@Sterke-Yerke]

It remembers me of the Round Britta and Ireland race. Muscle Flugga, an amazing spot to reach. Thanks for showing.

[@johnnyjoe0515]

mostly commenting to support your channel, but you both do a great job. mahalo.

[@okaaki68]

Beautiful.. Great to see you guys in yet another great adventure with amazing footage You're my no 1 channel that I wouldn't wait to see a new release.

[@lambert5864]

Amazing scenery, great video! Dream sailing destination for sure!

[@marktahu2932]

Such great shots of the Shetlands, including the sea - I found myself sitting in my seat and rocking with the waves. I think I need to get a life!!!

[@sailingsheriff3349]

Amazing filming and music coordination plus entertainment. Thank you.

[@keithrelyea7997]

What a treat, you are he best at showing us your adventures. Also thanks for all the birds.

[@andrewharris1837]

What a lovely start to the day,sun &kite up,not another soul around 😊.Paradise❤

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you. You two are the best sailors! Wonderful scenery again.

[@dennisrobinson4588]

Thank you for taking us with you on this magnificent journey around the British Islands. Spectacular video work and great music to accompany the video. Thanks again, good sailing and God bless.

[@DaveandGinny972]

I was lucky enough to have lived for a couple of years in Shetland back in the late 70’s. I lived in a Croft about half a mile from Burrafirth and used to sail and race Albacore dinghies. Formed some wonderful friendships with the locals, mostly due to the sailing. We’ve been lucky enough to go back several times for extended periods pre Covid. I’d love to sail back, but I fear my old Westerly Konsort is probably more up to the task than her ageing skipper. Loving these episodes ❤

[@carleichler4338]

Some of your best drone videography editing. Well done. Cheers!

[@DennisMacdonald-r7d]

Beautiful love it so far. Fair winds n great sailing. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@caractacus22]

Spectacular!

[@ranger2316]

How timely, my wife and I have been binge watching the British crime show SHETLAND recently. What a wild and wooly area--this is summer...right! Beautiful videography, editing and music.

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Another wonderful episode, thank you!

[@shaunreid5898]

Top class video

[@SailingSteelSapphire]

My favourite Florence video of all time (although I suspect I've thought that a few times before) 🙂. The drone footage was absolutely outstanding in so many places, although my favourite was with The Machine at St Ninians. But the music and associated edit was also just amazing. You guys are just bossing it at the moment!

[@caromarco6315]

This was just spectacular to watch 💙

[@michaeld3336]

Yay for sailing in The Machine!

[@gregg6282]

Amazing photography and an excellent choice of music

[@wayneacton3071]

Best wave vids ever! Practice pays off.

[@woolyimage]

Great video with amazing cinematic shots, its a shame you didnt have more time ( or better weather) as the west coast of Shetland really is a largely undiscovered gem. Looking forward to your next episodes !

[@chrismalkin4070]

Again, fantastic videography and narrative.

[@humblestever24]

Those rocks must have looked about 5ft away as you sailed past. I remember a year or so (?) ago seeing a cupboard full of Label 5 scotch. Bet it would be handy now, just to keep you warm of course. Happy sailing.

[@soggybottom3463]

Glorious, well done guys!!! 👍👏👏👏🤗🤗

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍❤❤ Spectacular photography.

[@ArtHelm]

Wow how beautifully scary seas. The waves look huge. And I love seeing the sailing footage. The birds are beautiful. And a great contrast to the waves. Nature is as close to God as you can get!

[@MrMichaelcurran]

Northern England is rough but awe inspiring. A long ways from Lat. 25.

[@ScotChef]

thats northern scotland, shetland isles etc, england is southern britain 👍🏻

[@bigbadthesailor5173]

this is most definitely not England! It was almost not Scotland either, having been part of Norway for a long long time.

[@chrisdickinson1762]

Looking forward to watching this 😊

[@Diggers57]

Epic 😊

[@synappticuser3691]

Thank you. Fantastic as ever. Moira

[@nickyork8901]

Great to have you back!!

[@sjcjlc]

Fantastic views and camera work!

[@VaninaVlogs]

I live in Shetland. A couple months ago my husband and 2 crew took our yacht to a new berth on the west side. They also had to use the motor most of the time because of the wind and swells. Alas, sailing is extra hard work up here. 🎉 As for not seeing many boats - because of the time of year you went. Lambing season keeps most away from the water.

[@staceyswain9303]

Your photography is superb truly love watching your videos ❤

[@terenceacton5803]

Class👍 David Attenborough has a rival

[@ScotChef]

'changeable' nicely put. 👌🏻😂✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@svlamancha9877]

Epic stuff beautifully filmed, another great video👍

[@keithh3463]

Your videos are very high standards! Thanks

[@Athfos]

Brilliant bird footage including the drone.

[@thebarnaclebill]

Brilliant. in every respect

[@glockparaastra]

Great footage!

[@kennypinkman2111]

Couldn't put it any better that @carolbopp7736 said below - its like watching a National Geographic video ! Amazing filming, editing and soundtrack !

[@gatecrasher1970]

good beach and wow so many birds must have been thousands

[@catherineb6561]

WOW! WOW... just WOW!!

[@147pete]

Hi to you two..I’m Pete I stay at Craignure…I have a Gibsea 27 foot (tiny yacht😂)….all the best with your travels👍

[@margaretbrudzinski5411]

Fantastic video once again!

[@brycegroff6787]

Haha, Matt I was just thinking, I would throw in the towel and turn on the motor!

[@jonathansmith8691]

Amazing, wonderful, professional production, Muckle Flugga - spoken like a BBC news presenter, did you have to do a few takes on this?! A few rums and it would possibly be an amusing bit to camera! Great episode. Stay safe and happy travels!

[@thierryso9743]

Really love your style of reporting and filming always looking forward to a new episode My neighbor met you at the race to Raja amphat

[@davidmcbee814]

Beautiful work!

[@ainord1]

Always excellent viewing

[@earlashton1342]

We have a no. of Gannet Colonies i NZ as well & I'm told that when they get old they go blind from all the diving they do. I was also told that the Colony will feed them until death. That though I'm not sure is true. If it was it would be nice. Be careful & enjoy.

[@charles11ification]

Brilliant cinemaphotography.

[@DDixon3121]

Another outstanding video. Thank you!
