Has Erin got her own YT channel?

[@jamessabatini6727]

I'm always looking for you two, always happy to see you. I can only ask for more and hope to get it. Thank you for the update!

[@hanssolo4ever]

Amazing looking boat with alot of potential. Best of luck and post some more videos. We all had a hard times for the last few years, covid, sickness in general, loss of work, war in Ukraine all those things have added up. But we can't lose faith, just hope for better times ahead of us and more sailing and new adventures with our friends and familes.

[@robgrove2370]

Fantastic to see you both back!! Please stay and share your adventures. You are both such lovely, honest people.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks Rob !!! We hope to make many more movies, just as soon as the Northerly winds come in :-) (September)

[@JohnJuliano]

Simon, I can't tell you how good it is to see you. I wish your mum the best health. Please give us updates, if only top say you're alive; we'r are all emotionally invested in you.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks John!!! Much love right back at you ❤️

[@Don-co9zs]

I, too, love what you guys are. I built a boat and lived aboard and chartered for 30 odd years, What I love about you guys is your fearless lust for freedom. Doesn't matter to me where you go. No envy here, but respect. The greatest adventure is finding yourself, so just enjoy the voyage. We all live in a wonderful vessel, ourselves.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Such beautiful words Don! Keep on keeping on legend!

[@braithmiller]

Welcome back and the wee one speaks. You have all been missed. We have all relaunched our vessel to live on. Floating villages of old wooden boats. Together we will get through the hard time.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks Braith! We’ve all got to look out for each other, more than ever now, it seems!

[@seanogallchoir3237]

She of the Sea, Jenny Matthew from New Zealand may be interested in your lovely ship. She is a Captain on Superyacht.

[@Fil_full_fool]

So much beauty, simplicity, dedication, passion and good old honest love being received over my way out in the mild mild west country in Devon, England from way over your way in Australia and beyond... thank you so much Simon, Eryn, Selkie, Narhval, Marissa and the world you sail through and choose to show us. Been watching y'all since you first posted way back when... revisited a couple of classics just now and felt my gratitude surge... hope all is well with you guys whatever the weather overhead and that y'all have just the right amount of rag hoisted pulling you gently through life's wonders. Love and more backatchya, Fil x

[@sethile]

Great to see you all! Looks like quite a project. All the best with it, and with life. Hang in there!

[@mercedesheymer8458]

Haha, Cannot believe that, we have just arrived at Leekes Beach, Great Keppel, saying it reminded us of you and our dog Skipper swimming with you, ( utube star). We were saying we missed your channel and suddenly you popped up, 23 minutes ago. WELCOME BACK TO YOU AND FIRST MATE! YOU ALWAYS BRING A SMILE TO OUR FACES. FAIR WINDS!!!

[@johnparo709]

You guys are without doubt the most interesting sailing channel, hope for more content soon!

[@julianfiacconi709]

Another amazing intro. Your cinematography is exemplary…you are so talented. Modernity meets the past. I was in Sarawak in the early 80’s, and an acquaintance of mine built (with traditional tools) a 54’ schooner (named Rindu) from the timbers washed up on the beach. Took him seven years but a mighty ship it was, and he sailed it to Hawaii.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks Julian, a 54ft schooner, I’d like to see some pics of her 😊

[@gardenofedenfruit]

Great Eryn, congratulations, enjoy! peace, love and fruit.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks so much Leon!

[@chaswarren7239]

WOO HOO, you're back. Love you both, can't wait to see Selkie grow up. (hopefully)

[@velocita8842]

Great to have you both back again. I missed your beautiful videos, your storytelling and love of wooden ships....so inspiring!

[@elwoodkime9191]

The Wonderful Boating Duo ! A little Mate on board the Ship. Great to see you together again .

[@Backbiter2000]

Hi Frank from Maine, USA here. I'm a carpenter just looking at Eryn's boat interior. From what I can see is there a long seat on Port side that runs the lenght of the interior? The seat could be cut in sections to allow storage underneath. You could hinge the pieces if you want. Also is that a v-berth foundation up front? Same can be done there. Also if there are any carpenter's or home renovation businesses you could check with them for cabinets. People change up their kitchens all the time and usually chuck the old cabinets in the dump. Tell them you'll buy them. They love to make a buck on that stuff. The cabinets could go along the starboard side of the interior. You'll have to determine where to put the toilet and galley. Good Luck, Frank

[@TheArtofEngineering]

That boat is an epic work of art!!!! Love your channel.

[@donrees5319]

Good to see the three of you again. Congrats on the big adventure. Keep the videos going. Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@citronmetalworks2220]

Amazing! That is one beautiful vessel! Super cool! All wood setup! Very very amazing! New sub! Going to follow you guys!

[@paulbrown2971]

Welcome back. Sorry to hear about your struggles. Sometimes a project is just what is needed to find satisfaction and reward in troubled times. Looking forward to seeing Eryn’s ship without all the tarps so we can see her lines.

[@Tampo-tiger]

Wow, what a welcome return of three great sailors, and three REAL people, not fantasy types seen on so many videos - you know the ones. This is not only 100% REAL but the reality is extraordinary. This boat is a beauty who needs you as her guardians, and bugger me, she is pretty big-beamed too! Oh blimey, you've got a proper caulking hammer there as well. I so hope you are able to do a video once in a while as we all miss you very much. Kindest wishes, from hundreds of thousands of people I am sure.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks so much for your feedback and encouragement! We hope we attract down-to-earth people. Like attracts like hey!

[@wallacekelley9179]

So great to see you back. I love the content and the old wooden boats.

Great to see you too Simon and Erin. May the Gods be with you.

She is magnificent. And the boat's okay too.

Nice to have you back in track😀

[@beverlyschiffler9649]

Really great to see you again. What an interesting boat. I understand why Erin loves her. There will be a place for this boat. I hope you can find the creative force to film and share your lives. I believe the rougher times have even more value and it’s not a bad thing to build a community around selkie.

[@heatherclement2163]

Made my day seeing you guys again. Looks like the beginning of another epic journey!

[@feltonseigler7578]

Very happy to see you guys back, really glad and pray everything works out and you guys can be happy Thank you for posting

[@hippyonthehill6256]

Made my day to see you back! Much love to the 3 of you and best of luck with the boat. Can't wait for the next installment 😊

[@lucasb1324]

Don't worry. My mother is a clean living person, 88 years old this autumn, but she chose to take the Corona vaccine and she feels completely OK. I've lost count of how many times I've vaccinated myself 5 or 6 times after my Doctors recommendation And for the first time I took a vaccine against a regular virus, got a fever for 24 hours after that I have felt OK. Other than that, I've never liked spirit always gives me a headache. The boat looks stable. Maybe it takes a lot of fuel, but just take it slow and it will be fine. Simon is a nice guy and a couple of friends and the interior will be great. It takes time, but you surely realize that. Nice to see you again. And good luck. ❤❤ Carsten 👍👍 Sweden

[@bernysubbs8445]

Hi Simon, I think a used furniture store and some angle brackets could simplify adding some cabinet/ storage space to "Ironwood" . You guys are an inspiration, and hopefully a catalyst for those of us who need some fresh air adventures in a stuffy world. All the very very best to you guys.

[@Christopher-lr8qi]

Great to see you both again!

So good to hear from you two! Glad to know you are still on the ocean! Can’t wait to watch the next chapter !

Cheers, Chris :-)

[@dabprod]

What a pleasant surprise to find a new video of you guys waiting for me this Sunday morning. Prayers and good wishes for your Mom first off. Wow what a cool old boat that is. Enough to keep the imagination running full tilt for a very long time. Keep those vids coming, and welcome back. From an old coot in the US.

Hahah!! When the Wench gets sick, she still looks good!!

[@robingraham6820]

Hey, guys, great to see you both back. Please keep it coming. You two give out some healthy vibes that are hard to find. You two could be crossing the Atlantic on a carbon fibre speed machine or pot holing in the Cairngorms, the magic comes from you. But having said that I can see exactly why Erin loves that boat, sooooooooo cool.

[@brynjenkins7412]

Welcome back.. Good to see you guys again. hang tough and keep chipping away at the outfitting! Eryn seems a determined make it work sorta gal! All the best to here and her little one. Hope to see more as the ship becomes ship-shape.

nice to get a tour of the boat and an update of its resurrection.

[@andrewpipitone170]

That is one heck of a ship. So much character. I would be cool to see it getting all the necessary amenities needed to live on the ocean. The open layout is awesome. I look forward to seeing you all. Been watching all sailing videos and so want to get a live a board boat sailboat. :- ) What an Adventure you all are on.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

Thanks Andrew 💪 life should be an adventure, before we get too old…. Then we all know what happens after that 😇😇😇

[@seanogallchoir3237]

A real Earth Ship, it is interesting using the elements, wood vessel on water element powered by air. When choosing ballast, avoid the white stone, quarts as it may draw in lightening. Good voyage. When working near Karachi Pakistan where Dhows were built I thought it would be nice to have one to sail around the Horn in Africa. One has to dream while ashore. Good wishes & Karma. It would be nice to see if possible on sail boat projects, the splicing of rope, creating hammocks, using paper charts to navigate. # HeroesAtSea.

[@johngrigg8210]

WOWZERS.. so great to see you both again. Lost track the last few years myself as I also became a plandemic refugee... Feels weirdly like catching up with family. Love and blessings to all three of you. Looking forward to more adventures together.

[@nsgkuaov]

Nice to see you guys again! You are both looking well and fit which is always a relief when people have been gone for a while off KZbin. Unfortunately I am skint at the moment so I can't do much however I got a new job starting on Tuesday so hopefully. Things are pretty crap over here in Europe at the moment and everyone is worried. My boat is in dry dock and as I have run out of cash will be for a while yet as she is about halfway through a pretty major refit, though I would have got her all done with my available cash but everything has gone up so much that I didn't get finished and as usual there was more to be done than I budgeted for.

[@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench]

I am so jealous!! That boat has so much potential! You can find old sinks and cabinets at the dump that will work fine for that beautiful iron wood vessel! The more you film the more money you will have at your disposal to renovate so get to it and great luck!!! ...........⛵
