[@MrRugbylane]

What a beautiful boat. The Brits still make fantastic boats - engineering and maritime traditions are a great mix.

[@marleneklopfer5770]

Happy belated birthday, Paul. Our gratulations to your new and fantastic boat. It looks like it is performing very well and must be exceeding all your expectations. We hope it will take you safely to many beautiful places in this world. All the best, Marlene and Benno

A few years back I used to watch this show all the time, but moved and could not find it. I am so glad that now I can watch the show on KZbin. This is a great show that I highly recommend. I enjoy the history that is given at each destination. Hope to see more of Europe. Thank you for taking us all on your journey.

[@DistantShoresTV]

I'm glad you found us again. Thanks so much for the kind words T A. Yes this season will take you to Europe from the French Biscay to the Spanish Atlantic coast and more :-)

[@VERTICALWisdom]

You guys have contributed so much to the cruising community. Many thanks

[@rebecamaximo2092]

Congratulations on Distant Shores III, the smiles on your faces say it all!

[@wmmorsch]

So nice of Mother Nature to put on a bit of a light show for your commissioning of Distant Shores III, congratulations! She's a fine looking yacht, can't wait to follow you to all of the exotic locations that await you. Fair winds and following seas!

[@PilarSailing]

Congratulation for the New Boat and Happy Birthday! The Boat looks really wonderful! Here in Finland we are eagerly waiting for weather to warm up so that we can splash Ottiliana for Her 16th sailing season. Fair winds and water under her keel!

[@a.oliver4426]

Great looking vessel! Congratulations on still maintaining thee classiest sailing series on video or television. I've been watching you guys for years and was fortunate enough to actually meet you at the 2014 U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis...it made my entire year and I never get enough of bragging! Take care and smooth sailing to you both! First Sergeant Andrew Oliver, USA, Ret.

[@windmedic]

Great birthday gift..even the storm gave you some fireworks that night on the hook...

[@Miguel195211]

Enjoy the new boat and many happy adventures!

[@Duncanj29]

Over the years I don’t think I’ve seen you two so happy and content, you deserve this beautiful boat , many thanks for the hours of interest and happiness you have given me . Here’s to a wonderful future !!!

[@sirfrydryk360]

Happy Birthday, twice. Words can't describe what I feel watching a sailboat glide across the waters.

[@stefanschachler831]

Happy Birthday Paul,Congratulations to the new boat ´Mast- und Schotbruch und immer eine Handvoll Wasser unter dem Kiel´ (Break of mast and sheet and always a handspan of water under the keel; German way of wishing the best for both of You and the boat)Stefan, Hamburg Germany

[@alanmeola862]

First time viewing for me, what gorgeous sailing lines.

[@stephenmurray9850]

Congratulations, beautiful boat. Happy Birthday .

[@stacysmith9073]

You guys are amazing! I am not familiar with sailing boats, only motor boats. Living in Arizona, it's all lakes, but I love it. I sometimes have fantasies about sailing on the seas and I happened upon your videos and I just can't get enough of them. I love how you guys work as a team and (at least on camera) you show total respect for each other and it is a tribute to relationships and making them work. I have learned so much and my greatest hope is that someday when I am at a marina and someone is talking about sailing, I can carry on an intelligent conversation about it thanks to watching your videos! Happy birthday and many, many more!!

[@45searay]

She is a beauty....Enjoy and Congratulations!!

[@drknight8519]

Happy birthday Paul!

[@artagain8977]

[@johnminter732]

[@terryg3921]

Great video. Nice boat. Look forward to your upcoming videos. Thanks

[@mrbensdonair]

Gorgeous shots, gorgeous boat. Thanks for all the great insights

[@1962gms]

Just watched this episode again. That really was quite a storm that evening, we were in Newtown Creek, just around the headland from you and nearly lost our Genoa! It is great to watch a bit of my old sailing ground, especially as we can’t get there just yet! Fair winds & enjoy the Caribbean ⛵️

[@diesel748]

Happy birthday! Congrats on a successful shakedown cruise.

[@Frankster9111]

What a wonderful birthday present! And a great light show to top it all off!

[@aquasurfer9]

Great shakedown cruise. Love the pictures of the ice. I never knew it built up so fast. I have seen it in Wisconsin but never knew anything about the ice buildup on shorelines. Great Video and look forward to seeing your new adventures on DS3. Maybe get to warmer weather and see SSL before they head out of the Caribbean. I have seen you guys chat before. You got him off the couch many years ago. Nice jacket for that weather. Looks very warm. What a way to have a birthday.

[@bethannmeredith]

Congratulations!! She's a beauty.

[@SerbanOprescu]

This was sooo cool. And the boat's birthday is now the same as yours!

[@1962gms]

Happy Birthday! We were in Newtown Creek that evening on our Southerly 110 - it was a very exciting evening with the gusts, the lightning and the hail! Hope you have many happy days on your yacht.

[@sportmoments4646]

Happy birthday! Beautiful boat, excellent videos! All the best!

[@sunofman4942]

[@geodesy2009]

Congratulations. Nothing like sailing your own new boat out of the yard. I’ve done it from Pietarsaari 3 times now. All hope for fair winds and good times on DSIII!

[@billfournier1043]

Awesome way to celebrate DSiii first sail! Beautiful boat! Happy birthday Paul! Looking forward to watching all your future adventures.

[@lieudaze6272]

She looks great, (so does the boat 😀). Quite the Birthday venue, congratulations. Taking delivery of our new boat in a month and would appreciate a short version list of what you looked for and found with no disrespect to one of the highest quality builders in the industry for sure. Boats are personal and many things need tweaking. Cheers.

I've been watching rebroadcasts of your Distant Shores II journey through France, Mediterranean, Morocco, and the ARC and realized I needed to seek you out on the Internet, finding you here! So *glad* I did and see I have a lot of catching up to do! Distant Shores III is magnificent! Hope your cruises are absolutely stupendous on it! I'll be watching for future videos here! Bon voyage!

Just about sailing ii

[@ABeriault]

Hello I have been binge watching your channel, which is impressively well made! Lovely balanced sound, few selfies, apropos mixed-in b-roll shots and excellent explanations & titles! I have subscribed and looking forward to following your adventures. I am French Quebecois photographer, cinematographer, from Montreal, retired today.... but I have sailed many years on the St-Lawrence between Quebec, Tadoussac and the unique Bay des Chaleurs, first on a Tanzer 21 and then on a Bayfield 25...both from your part of the country. Cheers & Godspeed

[@brentrichter1131]

Happy Birthday. What a perfect gift. A beautiful sailbboat.
