With a funky bass added it could have been Stevie Wonder ~ Superstitious..😉☮⛵😎

[@derekbooth8707]

Helpful tip? Use a permanent marker to draw lines, somewhere on your boat, which represent the minimum sizes for crab, lobster, etc. That way you won’t have to carry a rule.

[@fairyacorn4854]

Good tip

[@BonnieG1C]

That's very clever! Thanks to my clever grandmother, I can measure an inch w the first digit of my index finger and "smell a yard" (measure a yard of fabric by holding one point to my nose and stretch the fabric out a given distance w my right thumb and index finger). But I have wished for a way to have other measurements close to hand, too. Marking the measurements on the boat sounds terrific.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Great tip 👍🏽

[@livingtheskyelife]

Great tip - thanks!

[@ceuler10]

You three guys are sooo cute!

[@elizabethheatley22]

Visited Skye from Toronto in the middle of September. It is even more beautiful than I remembered.

[@nadiabarrett5195]

also, Sarah's description of Willie in the bloopers is hilarious, lol!

[@Mister0J78]

love the fact you only take what you will eat and release the rest

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

You have the prettiest playground ever! Beautiful sunset! What a wonderful life you lead! If I ever manage a trip to Skye, I will definitely have to take in the tannery! Fascinating! Right at this moment, I am heading out to grab my favourite coffee… a caramel latte! I really enjoyed watching your process for making your lures, Will. My husband’s dream is to own a boat and spend many wonderful days fishing. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful week!

[@martiwillis1848]

Those are very lovely and cozy slippers.

[@cindymanson539]

Not only do I love "Living the Skye Life", I love how much care and respect you show each other. See you next week!

[@martinhall9074]

Catching lobster by sunset. What a great end to a day on Skye! 🙂

[@kathrynrose5241]

You both have been blessed with a beautiful life on Skye. I love Jack❤

[@melanieronbrooks80]

You are the cutest couple on the internet. Your video's have so much content, good laughs, beautiful scenery, taking us to places from the comfort of our living rooms, how-to video's and the love of an awesome spaniel. Perfect! Oh I almost forget, even coffee.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much!

[@sandiandgregh]

Even though I don’t fish, I enjoy your fishing adventures. And as always, love how you reuse/recycle found items, giving them a new life.

[@ae-hv9kc]

Seeing your marshmallows made me want to share with you a Canadian camping tradition called S’mores. The traditional recipe is 2 graham crackers, squares from your favourite chocolate bar and your toasted marshmallow. Not sure if you get graham crackers but I think a lovely variation would be to use 2 digestive biscuits in lieu. So - take your biscuit, put a square or two of your favourite chocolate bar on it, put the toasted warm marshmallow on it, more chocolate pieces and a biscuit top --- making a sandwich sort of. It’s so delicious and no camping trip in Canada is complete without s’mores! Hope you try it! Hello from Vancouver. BTW - my great Auntie was the district nurse in Waternish - I have many happy memories from childhood visits there when we went back for visits from our home in Canada (Vancouver). Love your stories!

[@MarionStalker-jd6ni]

Or put the marshmallow in between 2 chocolate digestives, choccy side next to the marshmallow……. S’mores the UK way. Love your new slippers and bunnet btw, suits you👌

[@ae-hv9kc]

That would certainly work too! We like lots and lots of chocolate on ours. And of course you always want to eat some more and some more and some more - hence S’mores!

[@julied3588]

We use the tiny Reese’s peanut butter cups in our s’mores 😊

[@violetlilly9644]

I'd have spent my life savings in that shop! 😂

[@melanierhianna]

Mackerel just seem to jump on to the hook 🙂 I remember fishing for them as a kid using a hand line and silver foil.

[@SkyeSpirit]

Great video as always. The colours were stunning during the sunset. Glad you got to experience it! I'm guessing Superstition by Stevie Wonder 🥁 😊

[@livingtheskyelife]

You got it!

[@SarahHovley]

Those slippers look amazingly warm! And the hat quite dapper. Stunning water views!!!

[@elizabethjones3658]

Sarah - you need to do a painting of that sunset 🥳

[@joannamorgan6911]

I am watching from the Midlands. I love your channel so much. I have been retired from working now for about 5 weeks. So I can save watching you guys as a treat to enjoy at anytime. My favourite is getting back into bed on a horrible rainy morning with my frothy coffee and savouring another episode of the Skye life x hugs to Mr J Spaniels.x

[@lieuwina]

Another lovely video Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels. The sunset was spectacular and thank you for taking us on your trip to the tannery. I used to do leather work and miss the smell of leather, dyes etc etc it just got too expensive and bought a lot of my stuff from a company called Tandy, when I lived in S.,A. Have a lovely day.

[@annesinclair3455]

Magnificent sunset, dapper looking Willie in his new cap and love Sarah’s warm slippers! Thank you once again for sharing a little of your Skye life!

[@carolynhoover9444]

I could watch Jack Spaniels all day long. I live your dog❤. Beautiful video of the sunset

[@karenmackie9665]

Willie, the flat cap is perfect for you! Sarah, you will surely enjoy warm toes in your new slippers! Another wonderful video. I look forward to spending some Sunday time with you all.

[@bethpotts-mee8730]

The boat is so much fun. I would love to fish for my supper. You are both looking happy & relaxed. Jack looks happy, not seasick, but not relaxed. Thanks for sharing the Tannery and views❣Bright Blessings and wishing you nice weather 💞

[@mickcresswell1031]

Marsh mallows over an open fire, otherwise called smores, work best one marsh mallow sandwiched between two digestive biscuits. Even more decadent, chocolate digestives, with the chocolate against the warm smore (so it melts!). We visited Skye skins and the cafe in the yurt last year - and I also bought a Harris tweed cap!

[@julymoon4815]

I wish i were there but i am not so i must get back to work, thank you for a great video. Have a good week.

[@katieharmer8466]

I name that tune "Superstitious' by Stevie Wonder. Another glorious episode guys. I am as entertained and envious as always ❤❤❤ ❤❤

[@livingtheskyelife]

You got it!

[@sallyannc3176]

Scrolled the comments for ages to see this - was beginning to think I was the only one who watched til the very end! 😅

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Congratulations, you never cease to amaze me with your wonderful content. You both along with Jack Spaniels are so perfect for each other. It's wonderful to see people so happy in love and living the Skye life in a truly enchanting scenery. 🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸

[@brendonmitchell2597]

Time for you to get in your workshop and make a guide to the length of what you are catching. Most small fishing boats carry one, for lobster,crab, etc etc. could spend a lot of time on your boat, absolutely love it. Stay safe folks

[@Bulletguy07]

That sunset was stunning and what a great end to the day with another fresh lobster for supper! 😋

[@annamariebeaty4206]

Great video and beautiful sunset 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and the name of the song is...errrr..ummmm , ohhhh ...grrrr 😊

[@MrSteve1412]

You two have made such an idyllic life for yourself you should be very proud of what you’ve achieved in such a short time We spent a night in the harbour car park in Carbost on the 12th of September it was so calm and beautiful watching the sun disappear over the mountains You live in a truly amazing place Keep having fun and sharing it with us all

[@dianehepper8764]

Thanks!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@carlarivas1238]

What a gorgeous sunset, so glad you had that opportunity. Wow fishing seems that when you get serious it gets complicated. Thanks for taking us on your adventures

[@lotusdolphin]

What an incredible sunset! Great, fishing trip. Glad you guys made it back OK 💜🤟🏻😎🐬🇺🇸

[@debbieeldridge7290]

I'm so addicted to Living the Skye Life. You've created a magnificent life together in the best surroundings. Thanks for taking your viewers on great adventures. Oh, love " guess that tune". Stevie Wonder, Superstition. Well done!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much! And yes, you got it right!

[@suecameron3124]

Those views from the boat were so lovely...

[@trishsuchy]

Spent a glorious week on Waternish 8 or 9 years ago on our first trip to Scotland (right around the No vote time), stayed in a self-catering right up the road from Skyeskyns (great place, and thanks for taking us, I had quite forgotten it!). We started in Glasgow, spent a couple of nights near Oban, drove to Fort William and my more stalwart pals climbed Ben Nevis, then a week on Skye, then onto Harris and Lewis, back to Ullapool and then Edinburgh. Our friends had prepared us for rain and spitty weather but it was fair and sunny our whole month in Scotland, save 2 days. I got savaged by midges twice-once on the scalp-what fierce little buggers those are! but otherwise it was heaven on earth. Your sunset was glorious. Cheers to you both and behind the ear scratches for Jack Spaniels. Loving your channel to pieces. ❤❤❤

[@lynnebradley5857]

Wow that was a beautiful sunset. You really are living a lovely life there in Sky. So pleased for you both. The ball is a spaniel thing. My daughter’s cocker is obsessed 😂

[@dolphin7607]

Thanks

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Lots of beautiful scenery again this week. Indeed, living the Skye life. Maybe Willie could chop his weight things in half and insert an eyelet screw to hold the hooks. Or they must be good for the lobster pots too?

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

I really like the folklore. The story about the Fairy Bridge was especially nice!

[@maxinerobson5336]

“And Away…!” No prizes for guessing what TV programme you’ve been enjoying. 🎣 😉 Lovely video as ever guys. Thank you. 👏

[@lisasmith3943]

Willie the beard is wild.

[@livingtheskyelife]

I think that’s the point haha!! 😅

[@discovering_scotland]

Another great video! That brown crab was 100% big enough but always correct to be cautious

[@idalolo1]

As always, great way to start our Sunday, with Willie, Sarah and Jack! Skyeskins = WOW! Thanks for that glimpse. The hat and the slippers are perfect! Loved the crafting of the fishing weights (If at first you don't succeed...) and your trip out onto the water. Never a dull moment for your little crew! Have a great week and hugs to Jack from north Idaho, USA!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ianlove3]

You have just made my Sunday so very much.

[@girlnorthof60]

🥰🥰 Reaping the rewards of every past boat-related struggle, they fade into history... sheer perfection 😘👌 Pretty darned great, innit? A MASSIVE thank you for the hours & hours you both put in for our entertainment, you are so appreciated. Cheers 🥃clink !!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much! Yeah nights like that make all the boat hassle worthwhile 😅

[@lizthompson9653]

Is there nothing you two wont try. Smelting now! X 😂

[@betpatpatten3840]

My goodness sky skins has really changed and grown!! When we visited in the late 1990s, they showed us a few skins and we chose out a couple that we bought. They didn't even offer the beautiful things that you showed like the slippers, the blankets, the checkerboard pattern And all the other beautiful things! I'm so glad to see that they have done so well, as this means, they'll be around for a good many more years. Thanks for showing their main shop. When we visited, they were so new, or were struggling so hard, but it was hard to even catch them open enough to see what they had.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Yep - they only opened in the 1980s, but have grown so much since then. Amazing family business

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

Skye is so beautiful! You two are awesome.

[@danfetters6494]

On your new lures drill straight thru holes in polka dot placed holes. Keep drilling more holes until you get a good weight. Lotta fun this week!

[@CuriousMind-explorers]

Those weights would be perfect with a proper boat rod as they are less flexible…enjoy the fishing, best thing in the world!

[@Beyondthebinarybrain]

An episode uploaded on my 21st birthday? What a perfect birthday present, and an amazing episode as always x

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww Happy Birthday!! 🥳

[@Beyondthebinarybrain]

@@livingtheskyelife thank you so much!! ☺️🫶🏻

[@sueandmarkmanchester]

Superstition is the tune. Love the sunset and being on captain Willie's boat gets you away from midges. We're a bit late watching this week's episode as we have been away ourselves.Has willie ever tried braided fishing line off his boat for fishing, you really can feel the knocks of the fish on the line.❤.say hi to richard from us too.🤙xx

[@DawnWilliamson-q6w]

Stunning sunset 😮

[@marinaharding2610]

Your model boat ! The Titanic comes to mind!!!!

[@1957Moonmaiden]

All I can say is that you guys are totally a joy and I adore your antics. You are both such talented artists, producers and stewards of the land - it is an absolute joy to experience your adventures. Thank you so much for just being you. And special love to Jack as well! XOXOXOX

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thank you so much!!

[@cheralyndewet897]

Amazing sunset ❤ thanks guys awesome video as always 👍

[@nokchilton1562]

Lobsters 🦞 are so beautiful colours and make me think twice now about eating them 😅

[@SharmanSomerset]

Another beaut gang and this week’s bloopers had me creasing, big love to you all x

[@lelandpeck4585]

wow! that was just spectacular. What a gorgeous outing and that sunset was perfect. I thought that Jack was about to jump out of the boat when he was looking at the buoy.

[@Wrtp.]

Cheers for that for that video the sunset looked amazing.🍺🍺🍷👍

[@FionaKeyes]

Such a beautiful sunset and boat ride!!

[@fairyacorn4854]

You three do have fun. Well done for the biggest fish Sarah. I so look forward to Sunday and watching you get up to all sorts of things. Loved the look round the tannery and what amazing products they sell. BBBbbeautiful sunset ...... Be careful when you're out on the boat and stay safe love Mel.

[@guyrose2239]

Tune is Superstition by Stevie Wonder! Another lovely watch ...esp the sea and sunset x

[@livingtheskyelife]

You got it!

[@asimplelivingjournal]

Love that shop ❤. Great video. I reckon the tune is Superstition Stevie Wonder.

[@livingtheskyelife]

You got it!

[@suebrown436]

Such a lovely episode. You are so lucky! Thank you Sarah for taking some wonderful video of your fishing adventure.

[@terryevans5476]

Another enjoyable vlog. Thanks for sharing. Love from Cornwall ❤

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

We are back up in in a month to spend Halloween in Edinburgh cannot wait. That sunset was just a wow spectacular .. what a place what a paradise you guys have there I love Jack so much Big fan haaaaa :) he needs merch too

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks Claire!! So glad you enjoyed it. Congrats on your amazing subs milestone by the way! 🥳 Hope you enjoy your trip to Edinburgh!!

[@Abeyptfc]

Nice one guys, what a cracking night for a spot of fishing! I was out with my stepdad’s mate from Uig to the Ascrib Islands and up by Kilmuir earlier in the year, caught a load of pollock and one macky! Loads of dolphins about aswell👍

[@alisonlyons4691]

Really enjoyed the fishing trip, Captain Jack is so lovely, and has me in fits. Skyeskins looks great, will check them out when l get across, hopefully very soon. Thanks for sharing see you "👋 next week 👋" ..........Alioban

[@alanatolstad4824]

What a showroom...I'd want one of everything!

[@geraldinedaly6149]

Thank you for sharing your fishing trip Great fun to watch and the sunset Geraldine north shropshire England

[@fairyacorn4854]

Well done Sarah for catching the biggest Mackeral

[@marydegenkolb9603]

I remember my first beach sunset. We were camping on Oakakroke Island in NC, USA. In a tent with my mom, dad, brother and baby sister. We were gigging for flounder along the tideline. It was so beautiful. The waves, the breeze, and the orange glow. Even at age 6, I remember that. Oh and gigging flounder requires an innertube to float the metal wash tub, a strong light to shine down on the water and a broom handle with a curved nail in the end (the gigg). You look for the two side by side blue eyes of the flounder, and then stick it with the gigg. Put it in the washtub and keep going till you have enough to eat.

[@carrieschwenk5890]

"OH look, the sun is shining." Made me laugh! As an American who lived in Scotland for 6 years, it was quite a treat to see the sun occasionally

[@ginacrusco234]

Sarah has a lovely way of telling a fairy tale. I could just see the fairy wife crossing the bridge to return to her own.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks!

[@susanclark416]

Looks beautiful gorgeous so fantastic ❤

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from PEI Canada. Love Jack.

[@saradutoit2644]

🤙🏻👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻❤ Sara from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@monsuverhaar]

Love this week’s video! Thanks so much for bringing us along.

[@monsuverhaar]

Sorry, I can not name that tune…….

[@cartersubaru]

Really enjoyed that video. Probably one of the best you’ve done. Still living the dream.

[@ceceliakeown5653]

Oooh I was expecting jack to come out yelping with a lobster on 1 nostril and a crab on the other. SO GLAD he didnt!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Us too 😅😅😅

[@sallyannc3176]

What a lovely day on the boat for you guys - so glad to see you getting such a good time on it, it seems the perfect addition to your island life!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

2 plain Digestives, 2 or 3 squares of Dairy Milk, and your toasted marshmallow. Perfect snack.

[@bobnjuliejohnston8327]

I noticed Jack Spaniels life jacket matches Sarah's hair...Such a co-ordinated family

[@susanharris3224]

What fun! You did well with your purchases too! Very fetching!

[@steveburnham4578]

Brilliant as always. Love the drum intro quiz. Had me racking my brains for ages as it was so obviously iconic but have to admit defeat and found the answer by scrolling through below. Thanks @Titanic1111 😆

[@faithvansanden82]

Enjoyed your fishing trip and the sunset, Sunday is the best especially when I watch you both and jack spaniels x

[@DanielWatson-i9p]

Crab prefer a soft eye creel , which are harder to escape from , where as lobster and prawns like a hard eye creel, which yous are using ! Top content makes a Sunday night more enjoyable

[@hilltopgirl2665]

A good day fishing!

[@andyadventures2841]

Sunset on the ocean 🚣 🌊 🌅 perfect

[@Bev678]

Sarah you look just like a wee fairy on top of the bridge…😊🧚🏻

[@thelooseeko]

You guys are so cute and the sunset fishing trip was amazing :)

[@youngmuttley]

If there’s a big tide running you’ll need those big Perks to hold bottom.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Great shot of a drookit Jack Spaniels!

[@jennifermanwell9153]

Willie, you're looking quite dapper in your new hat!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Well, thanks! 🙂

[@jmitch5161]

Time to say goodbye which is a shame as been here since day 1. I cant watch killing stuff though. Wish you loads of luck for the future.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sorry to hear that. We only ever fish/catch for the table, not for sport, and never show the quick dispatch on screen - out of respect for our viewers and the creatures themselves.
