Solent Sailing - Newport Town, IOW

[@carinacroissant9299]

Great to see these recordings. Makes me smile your friendship is something else. Love you to 😅😅

[@carinacroissant9299]

Done in good time. You didn't get stuck. Dad did once in 50 years plus of sailing

[@iancampbell3202]

Interesting little jaunt. I enjoyed that one. 👍

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Cheers Ian...

[@petertibbs2100]

Yet again another great vid. One small point - GBII was a veteran of all six Whitbread Round The World races not the '73 Americas Cup (20:00).

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks for the clarification Peter, got the cups wrong.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Basically he is so so very ignorant

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

He’s going to milk this Peter. You did me no favours bringing that up.

[@Sailing_Antrice]

Another great video. Mind you Dave, you had me worried about Dave… I thought he had lost the top half of his head in some bizarre boating accident. It was only when I could see it was still there towards the end of the Video that I could relax and stop wrapping the first aid box off my boat to send to you. Next time you venture up to Newport you could try Quay Arts Cafe for Coffee and Cake if the tide is ebbing too fast for a pub lunch. Oh and I agree Dave is not looking his years so carry on sailing Dave and I wish you both many more years of happy sailing.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Ha ha. Well said Hilary.

Hi guys, I'm a duel citizen British/Canadian. In British Colombia the word means several things but mainly it is used to describe something well made/built, it can mean other things too.... its Pacific North west jargon. Anyway, that's where it comes from and it's stuck as a 'handle' for me and a small business I had.... glad you two are getting out and working up an appetite for a change ! Ha!

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

A great moniker Jack. I like it.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Love it SJ -:)

[@acuity139]

Excellent. !! Getting the wine out ready ! Also noticed you finally corrected the typo on the intro !!

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Good spot Mr. A. Finally got my backside in gear.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

So very very sorry about his spelling

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Well I get a mention in passing but something about going aground…. Not me although I did hit bottom just South of where Dave O went 45degs. Come on Dave R that was no America’s cup boat it is the very famous GBII which is a veteran of the very first Whitbread Round the World Race in 1973. Designed by Alan Gurney and Chay Blyth was skipper with a crew of Paras coming second to Sayula II and she did 6 races in total. Hoping someone gets her going for the Ocean Globe Race which is a retro Whitbread race coming soon. Nice video though but not so relaxing if you are anxious to get out on the tide. Until next time. Andy U.K.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks Andy, you’re not the first to correct me on the famous GBII. Oliver will want points now.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Andy what say you is that a 10 point error?

[@benmoody2975]

Hey guys, we had a nervy trip up to Newport, to dry out our fin keel opposite the pub, to have a clean and inspection before we left for a France. First time we had gone so far in the 'green' bits, but prepared us for the French canals😬

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

It’s a nice spot isn’t it Ben. Good to hear from you. You videoing your French canal trip?

[@benmoody2975]

@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches no, it was 2 years ago, took tonnes of photos, complete adventure as we draw 1.8m so very challenging!! currently just outside Barcelona

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

@@benmoody2975 oh wow. Didn’t realise it was possible drawing 1.8m. Well done you, must have had some tricky moments.

[@shakyangler]

Great video . Newport is one of my most favourite places to stay . They have now dredged the pontoons so some boats stay a float at low tide also the water does have a fairly long stand before it starts to flow back out. Over the years I have seen a few fin keelers get it wrong on the key side and end up have there mast almost touching the bargmans rest side of the key. Cheep to stay £18 a night as well. Keep up the good work. Love to have a sailing boat but wife having none of it so it’s a motor boat for me but love watching people sail.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Good to hear from you Shaky. Motor or sail doesn’t matter. Being on the water is what matters. Stay safe.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Good to know. My problems was that it was only me worried about the fin keel aspect it may be because we were in my boat not his! Good to know low cost they didn't charge us anything for lunch stop

[@robertclarkson5101]

Still at the top of your game lads🤗

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Thanks RC. Stay safe.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Robert Rebbettes has never been top of his game not even half way up the ladder. Dont encourage him like this it's not good. We'll end up with up-side down camera shots next episode

[@simontaylor4873]

Great to see you both back out again, finally doing my DS practical next week down in Plymouth, do you think it would impress the instructor if I ventured into the Green bits now and then (at the correct tide of course) 😂😂

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

It could go one of two ways Simon. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. I hope Andy stays at home and the weather is fair for you.

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Simon you were born for it get it right you get a distinction brownie points etc etc

[@fionawinter2382]

Nice to see you repping Marco Island Dave- poor excuse Dave - I bet you still have both koozies! Not that it looked that warm! Great video as usual and I dont believe a word about the Police rib- think there was more to that story than a loo stop- maybe it involved illicit shenanigans in a hot tub ? Andy needs to meet you guys somewhere!! Nice to see you putting your Yachtmaster skills to work- still think that YM exam needs to include curry making ability on board!

There is another lesson here: Learn to tell the time yourself rather than rely on your mate.

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Excellent excellent point. Very well made Mr. C

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Sorry too about the poor un researched history we ALL KNEW GB II was avetreran of 6 Whitbread races didn't we? Ive been looking for a new cameraman. BTW did any one spot the BIG spelling mistake down the river

[@davidoliverinsights1]

Did you all notice he tried to find flies in my main sail flaking what di he find? Pristine clean beautifully flaked exemplary seamanship

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Fair cop

[@davidoliverinsights1]

even more sorry about the cameraman's framing of shots??

[@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches]

Yeah got to agree with that. Far too careless.

[@philipwalker2380]

I thought the camerawork was a bit 'out there' in this episode as well, Dave. It was a bit like watching the Cook Report, with its air of subterfuge. Added to the atmos. Anyway, enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

It's just the abuse we got keep asking old and slightly weinghetie guys howe after hour 'Are you Fat Tommy by any chance?' I mean it just got downright award after a while. Got to the point where we had asked so many people we didn't know where to sit down and eat in case we were too near someone we had asked
