Lovely compilation to watch especially on a wet winter's day. Best of luck with plans for Ireland!

[@derekhathaway]

Thanks so much! 😊

Thanks for some summer sun looking forward to your Ireland video I plan to go next season when I retire

[@derekhathaway]

Cheers! The joy of being retired is (or should be!) that you can pick your time to go and not be under pressure to set out if the weather suggests you stay put!

Great stuff Derek! Im thinking West Cost of France for 2024

[@derekhathaway]

A friend came up the west coast from Canal du Midi last year snd had great time - and we’ve talked about a trip around the NW corner of France in a future year. I’ll be interested to follow your expedition ? On Instagram?

Looks great. I'm hoping to get over that way in 2024 for a UK cruise myself in a locally purchased small yacht. Maybe our paths will cross somewhere. : )

[@derekhathaway]

Wonderful! If you need ideas of where to sail get in touch. Western isles of Scotland was my favourite area when I sailed around Britain in 2021 - I have a KZbin video which covers that and other videos of my trip in 2021 and check out my trips to the Isles of Scilly which is also a gem and you may find interesting.

@@derekhathaway Absolutely, that would be very helpful. The yacht I have in mind is already in Ardrossan. Scotland looks amazing. I'll be in touch when I finally get there.
