Solent Sailing - Boat to Nowhere

[@SailingSweetMadness]

Everyone needs a friend like you Dave R. To sacrifice your day to fix your pals engine and cook him dinner is the mark of a true gentleman. You, Sir, are the Yacht Master!

70? Dave, having a cook and a mechanic is keeping you looking young mate.😀⛵️ Good to see a video from you guys.👍 All the best, Paul.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Being his cook and mechanic is making me old though.

You're so right wish Id thought of that years back. Hard to believe he's 10 years younger and people think he's my dad

[@ChuckieEgg99]

We love holidays in Florida, so if you get a boat and need someone to keep it an eye on it for a bit do let us know 😂

[@sailingbella7838]

Great to see you back. Great adventure not leaving the river😀. Well done. Can’t wait for the Falmouth trip with planning🤔🤣. We are hoping to get that way soon. Not made it past Dartmouth so far. Stay safe. Happy sailing

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks SB. Will make sure there is some sort of plan to show you. Dartmouth is so nice it is easy not to venture further but there is some great coastline further west. Hope to get to Poole for a few days in the next week or so with Mrs. R. Probably anchor in South Deep. Lovely Harbour.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Bella we are looking forward to this trip special meats (very special meats) in the freezer ready for victualling. Of course I have to sort all that no help. PLUS he's got no charts so I have had to buy all the charts

[@fionawinter2382]

Hi Dave and Dave! Wondered where you both were. Its all good here in Marco Island- funny you should be talking about elbows though, I have broken BOTH of mine- and it was done in the UK and NO GIN was involved ! Still back home now and the covid is very real here still! Love the idea of you getting a lagoon David, you could easily keep it here in FLorida, insurance would be quite expensive but I am happy to do mor research on it for you. PS you do NOT look 70 - so enjoy your Birthday and I look forward to the next video of your sailing escapades- maybe even with Andy !

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ouch, how on earth do you break both elbows FW. Sounds awful.

Oh Fiona so sorry to hear that get well soon -:). Thanks for the email great tips there very grateful. You are so so right I know I dont look 70 I've been saying that the past 69 years or so. I think it's because we have Cadbury's chocolate in UK (Not Hersheys) so much better for you

[@jasonchamberlin1532]

Welcome back guys. We used to have a 36CC and I spent many many hours in the engine compartment over the years . I'm 5'10". It's an uncomfortable space.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks Jason, you're not wrong, especially on a hot day when you're not expecting it....

Jason you're so ungrateful 36CC biggest compartment available room for a generator

[@jasonchamberlin1532]

@@davidoliverinsights1 Oh very grateful for the space and loads of room. never took a cat on board but i think i could have swung it. I think the acid test though is making your good friend sit in the engine compartment to do your jobs on a hot day. I never did that. ( |Well once but that's irrelevant) I think Dave is obviously a saint to do that for you. Dave - if you can send the cash to the usual bank account as arranged....

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

@@davidoliverinsights1 I was there! You walked past me at one point but my son was in tears because the band was too loud for him and I couldn't get away. (He is autistic) Then we left early because the wife told me we were going, so I didn't hear the band call for me. Sorry, it's a very poor showing I know.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha. That’s funny. We thought you’d deserted us. Hope your son is feeling better now. Oh well, we shall have to grab a beer some other occasion.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Well it is great to see you guys back out, even if you didn’t get very far. We’re you on a buoy or just anchored for lunch? I am heading to the boat on Monday to Thursday and trying to meet up with a mate in Beaulieu at some point. I’ll look out for your boats and try not to bump into them. If you are heading to Emsworth/Northney let me know and I can try to make sure I’m not around…. If you went up to Emsworth Reach then you went past my boat but she does need a jolly good clean. I was hoping to head to the West Country but this year things have been a bit rubbish. I’m looking forward to next week though. Btw I know Fiona at Bembridge very well, top lady. Fair winds. Andy UK

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Good to hear from you Andy. Here’s the bad news. My wife and I are off sailing next week. Probably head to Poole. If you are out that same week we had best pack for rain. Enjoy the week.
