Solent Sailing - A rainy day in December

The Dave's dodgy dreary December day

[@BarryGreen007]

Hurrah Happiest day of 2024 when I got the KZbin notification. Thanks for the vid.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha, come on Barry. You must have had a rough new year if that was your happiest moment. Made me laugh out loud that.

[@michaelnicholson4933]

Intrepid explorers, laughing in the face of a tempest, suffering from frostbite, and all to keep us marina huggers entertained. Gentlemen, I salute your fortitude in such miserable conditions. (PS great video as always)

[@happinessloveyoursmile]

Awesome and fabulous..wonderful and superb 👍

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks

[@kenbudd6216]

Good to see you both back

[@michaelnicholson4933]

Great to see you back with your cheerful dialogue as usual - bit rich to blame us for your grumpiness though. Serious recommendation for a NOCO battery jump starter just in case Small in size, holds enough power to start around six engines when battery is flat. Connect it to battery terminals, wait five minutes and twist the key! Now in our eighties, for the first time our boat on the hard December to March, so great to sit in front of a blazing fire and see you suffer for our entertainment. Many more please!

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks Michael, just googled the Noco. Looks impressive. Hope we’re still sailing in our eighties. Hope you have many more years yet.

[@michaelnicholson4933]

Yep, still going, though just diagnosed with a recurrence of melanoma. Waiting for surgery to remove affected lymph nodes followed by a longish course of immunotherapy. Third bout of cancer over the years, and it ain’t got me yet, so looking forward to some good boating in 2024. Do keep up the videos - love them.@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@michaelnicholson4933 an example of a great attitude and spirit. Thanks Michael. In our prayers.

I've just come across the channel and sub'd. I've sat here chuckling away at your blether. Made my afternoon and I can relate to so much of what you lads are going on about. Thanks for sharing. 🤗

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha. There’s 20 minutes of your life you’ll never get back AA.

[@Sailing_Antrice]

How did I miss this extravaganza of sausage roll wonderfullness? It’s great to see the cockpit tent come into its own too. I think you could hold a party in there. Somthing about it reminds me of a circus tent. Perhaps it’s the clowns? Anyway thanks a bunch guys made my evening to find one I had missed.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha. I hear you met the boys in Bembridge this weekend

[@Sailing_Antrice]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I did indeed, and it was great to be able to say hi to Dave O and Josh, we must sort out an invite aboard Antrice when I am on the new berth in Yarmouth. Hopefully April.

[@simonhealy4976]

Welcome back!

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Cheers Simon, hope all is well with you.

[@j.t.s.3982]

What a surprise! Wish you a happy new year, stay healthy and maybe we'll meet in the Solent sometime in 2024. Unfortunately it didn't work out in 2023. I'm looking forward to the next videos. BR Jochen

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Agreed. Glad you had a safe sail in the Solent and got back safely. Maybe 2024!!!!!

[@fionawinter2382]

Sorry to see no sausage rolls in this video- please provide footage next time with mustard. Happy New Year and glad to see the Beaulieu river is still letting you two moor on it !

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Hi Fiona. Got to admit, his sausage rolls are good. Much better that soup scraped out of an old shopping bag. Hope all is well. How’s that boat refurb coming on. New deck down yet?

[@fionawinter2382]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Hi all is going well on the refit! Mast is due to come down on the next two weeks and new chain plates going in. We have a new caprail and toe rails ! Deck is completely done but we now have to save for flexiteak. Interior hopefully in the next two months. I am looking forward to having a new galley! When we meet in the Solent I will cook soup and sausage rolls, minus the Sainsbury bag 😂

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@fionawinter2382 Brilliant. A Monmouth project but will end with a lot of satisfaction. Look forward to some good food when we eventually catch up.

Get yourself a pilot house yacht ;-)

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Can’t argue with that Wayne.

[@jasonchamberlin1532]

I'd like to say what a pleasure to see you back. Even if you're grumpy old gits!!! Very impressed that you actually sailed in that. I've just gone down to the boat, shook my head and started on my ever lengthening list of jobs And as a former owner of a 36CC, leave cool runnings alone !

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Understand the ever growing job list Jason. What are you sailing these days if not a 36CC?

[@jasonchamberlin1532]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I upgraded to a Dufour 36 Classic. Still on the Hamble but she sails better than the 36cc!

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@jasonchamberlin1532 Nice lines those boats. Enjoy.

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Wow, I had assumed that old Dave (aka soggy tubes) had gone into a nursing home and the videos had stopped. 😂 It's great to see you both even if young Dave can't remember why he is there 😂

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha, good to hear from you FT. Just been watching some of your videos. Great idea to show a range of slipways in the area.

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches thanks. I know the quality isn't great but it gives people who trail boats an idea of the slipways

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Exactly. I would find that very useful. I’m

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches Yet you continue to set an example to those of us who follow you on KZbin and age, I'll be 59 next month.

@marktaylor484 nice words MT. 👍
