Wet & Wild WINTER SAILING in Scotland [EP 214]

[@lookpastlimits]

It always amazes me how you guys can make a 20 minute video seem like 5 minutes! With no drama and no acting, just nice filming & editing and you two being so genuine!! So cool to see you in Scotland!!

[@johnmooney9444]

It's nice to watch a sailing channel that actually has sailing. Quite a few of the "sailing channels " focus on do-it-yourself stuff.

[@Mckbigfish]

So great to see you made it down to Kerrara. Amazing footage and so sorry that you weren't able to experience Skye fully. Hope you have a peaceful winter. Liam (We met when you were in Poole)

[@danknox9986]

We not only redo the original stitching we also like to stitch around the patch. That works well for us. Also in a pinch we use waxed dental floss for thread. The wax goes easily though the existing holes.

[@brian7261]

Venison > originally meant the meat of a game animal but now refers primarily to the meat of deer. 🦌 It's funny how a (mobile) boat can become your home, I guess it comes down to the amount of time you spend on her (in your case, full time). Thanks for the vid 😊

[@drjasper100]

Yep and Chevron is goat meat.

[@tomriley5790]

Shame you're having such crappy weather around the UK, the West Coast of Scotland and Southwest of England are truly wonderful places to sail in the Summer! The HIDB moorings are usually well maintained and reliable - no need to anchor if you can get one.

[@michaellovell9625]

Beautiful sporty sailing weather even though you were not feeling well you still did a great job on the video. That seal was definitely looking for a hand out. 😁 Be safe but always have fun. ⛵🇺🇸

[@Fletcher-li3bd]

Its distressing to hear about so many sailors still getting seasick. Please try ginger powder, candied or fresh for relief from motion illness. Love your videos Fletcher

[@feanor3876]

I love the honesty and openness of your content. You guys post such good content.

[@andrewthompson2380]

Welcome to my old sailing grounds for 30+ years

[@TTM-GEB]

This, that and more Awsome!!!

[@MakingWaves-IsleOfMan]

Another great video! The smiles are infectious and the story telling is informative and inspiring. From a beautiful looking marina to a gorgeous looking anchoage and seals at both ends of the journey 😄 Home, Sweet Home. Cair Vie!

[@martinpalmer5880]

Rhona one of our favourite place to anchor, welcome to Scotland. Unfortunately we’ve had to move back to the East Coast so we miss the diverse sailing. M&P

[@RonaldJHElzenga]

just ❤❤ but so much enjoyed this episode again..thank you..and recognize the emotions returing to my love (boat)..😊

[@hedleyjackson5131]

Home sweet home after all the sweat and toil she is now stunning Adams smile seeing her pricles.

[@drcandor]

Nice sail short and sweet, so it seemed, with a fine anchorage. . . :>/

[@jaymacpherson8167]

I enjoyed the reopening process for Millie. Especially listening to the engine! The shot starting at 13:10 also excellent. I hope, Khiara, that you were well enough to hold your biscuits when feeling ill on the passage. Silkies at either end of this voyage! Magic.

[@davidbamford4721]

Just discovered your channel, which we deem very watchable. We are two octogenarians living in the toe of the Mornington Peninsula. We’ll be following along from here on. Much holiday traffic here at the moment.

[@michaelcaraway2305]

Anchoring in a spot where wildlife can be observed is always a plus.

[@craigmacdonald6601]

I recommend Antares Charts if you are trying lots of west coast anchorages in the coming weeks.

[@Mckbigfish]

Thanks!

[@hanzokooijman3660]

Sweet sailing guys! You’re slooping it though. Guess it’s time to get that staysail on a furler!

[@cnc75adventures49]

Great video well I have to head out and feed the T-bones👍👍

[@MORT-zf3qb]

Hi, I have loved all your episodes but have watched through Brave so can't comment or like!!! I just find you's de-personalised as people would luv to see how much to fuel up everywhere, prices of groceries and what's available, just little things like that will get way more participation in your channel. Luv Mort

[@RoyClare]

Love the vibe when you first return. Unmistakable joy! 🎉

[@Spoon279]

Looks like the local marine life gave you a seal of approval.

[@PaulBKal]

17:50 “This is great, this a better anchorage than I thought.” It’s Acairsaid Mohr, the best anchorage in the world! Absolutely gorgeous. Of course it helped that it was July that we were there and warm and sunny. We bought a feed of langoustine prawns off a local fisherman and steamed them in Talisker. C’est magnifique! Certainly added to the whole mystique of the place.

[@davidforbes7772]

I thought they anchored in Rona, not Eriskay.

[@PaulBKal]

@@davidforbes7772 They did. Acairsaid Mohr, on Rona.

[@davidmcbee814]

You're joshing me. There's no Sun in Scotland! Beautiful as always.

[@johnlees1176]

Speaking as a relatively inexperienced sailor (18 months), I gotta say this is your best vid yet - interesting, entertaining & informative. Loved it. Don’t know where u are now (Nov 27) but if you’ve yet to pass by Largs, give me a shout; the least I can do is say “hi” & “thanks”. Anyhow, thanks & keep the story rolling.

[@jarlgrimnar9513]

Getting close to where I grew up sailing, hope your having a good time.

[@androklesfb]

Tough sailing: Love it!!!

[@greenbimoon]

Really funny hearing your background music (ie 6:09) that I associate with another utube (Matts Off Road Recovery). You spread your Vegemite rather thin. And what a lovely sail.

[@Sabhail_ar_Alba]

Those houses in Rona were used until recently by MOD contractors for supporting submarine trials. Your right next to an active submarine range.

[@rmjryost]

Thank you for being honest about your seasick situation. Whilst it is uncomfortable, as a fellow seasick boat owner, I feel useless too when I am ill. And it validates my anxiety about going out in tricky sailing conditions. All the best.

[@Neilhuny]

The seasick thing confuses me! I *think* that many/most people feel seasick at first but they acclimatise after some hours or days - very tentative, weak opinion. I was extremely surprised to see some KZbin sailors (should I name them?) say that they never drink coffee on passage because it makes them seasick! Blimey. The inference was that most people were similarly affected so don't drink coffee at sea. But stopping drinking it gives everyone (?) withdrawal symptoms and severe headaches anyway ...doesn't it? Lose lose situation

[@MCallsen]

I would have actually known someone on Harris/Stornoway to look after your (our) boat. Glad nothing happened and Millie was as fine as ever ^^

[@johncurry6047]

Yep, moorings? some people drop the mooring for the winter. taking the large buoy off and letting the riser chain etc sink to the sea bed saving wear over the winter . They mark the position of said mooring tackle with a rope and small buoy ready to pull it to the surface in the spring. Nice of someone to inform you though. just my first viewing , have subscribed and liked

[@davidcharleston1314]

Welcome to Scotland yip venison is absolutely beautiful delicious never tried seal though 😊

[@billparker4211]

Good morning Khiara & Adam. Watched Ep 213 now Ep 215, Ep 214 never showed up. Most probably still floating around the stratosphere somewhere between Scotland, Spain and Queensland. Good to se that you are back home on your own yacht. Keep enjoying yourselves.

[@Wedontwantnowarnomore]

You got an wonderful boat. Millie is such a home sweet home big time. Lots of kisses to you all 🥰

[@kenbrown2540]

Such a pretty boat. Lots of KZbin channels have changed boats over the years and mostly it's just whatever, but if you two every sold Millie I would genuinely be sad. Cheers, another great video.

[@govsquid]

I agree, though I'd probably be cheered up quite a bit if they sold her to me!

[@brentbauer8258]

Most people upgrade because the first boat is what they could first afford and the second boat is what they want after some experience.

[@davidbamford4721]

That stretch of water is called The Minch.

[@MycSailor]

Beating towards the wall

[@Lannie1948]

Nice to see you back on Milly! Great video 😊

[@russmarkham2197]

It's great to see how much Millie means "home" to you two. A boat is just as much "home" for you as a house is for me.

[@oddjobkia]

love that your hear int eh UK, gives a wave as you pass west Wales

[@mjcooke2sailingmostly]

You had a good break with the weather. Off season for sure but meteorological winter starts December 1st and winter on the solstice.

[@rayb3117]

Seals are always fun to watch. And that anchorage is beautiful

[@jonunya3128]

thanks for the video. I especially enjoyed the music.

[@garyhay695]

Not sure we on the Isle of Skye would call it the mainland lol we have bridge but still an island last time I looked out the window

[@richb313]

Good seeing you both sailing again looking forward to next week.

[@johnshakespeare3004]

Deer - Venison Pig - Pork, Bacon Ham just all the good stuff... and Welcome to the UK!

[@peterasacker5948]

Really enjoy following you guys...be safe and enjoy

[@petercameron5790]

What a great sailing day! This reminds me of a passage completed in June, cruising aboard SV Pellew, a replica of the biggest pilot cutter built by Luke Powell. I was priveliged to be given the helm for the passage down from the Shiant Islands to the very same anchorage on Rona. That was an exciting narrow entrance to make in the 80 ton cutter with neglible wind, and Luke refuses to use the motor for manouvering. Next challenge was to put her alongside in Mallaig in similar conditions but with a CalMac ferry hard on my stern.

[@goulash75]

Public announcement: You guys are great. That is all. ^^

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Hahah, I like the announcement 👍🏼😂

[@danielboughton3624]

Nice to see how happy you were to get back. I recall the Normans are to blame for the meat versus animal tradition in English. For some reason, chickens don't get the treatment.

[@Neilhuny]

That rings a bell with my far distant school days: pork/porc = Norman French where the lords ate the good meat, pig, swine etc = Saxon English where the peasants raised the animals. Ditto Beef/boef and cow ...etc

[@yachtlaina1304]

Great to see your latest update. Where next? Cannot wait.

[@sergest-pierre6160]

It is fun to see you so happy. I'm not really jealous because you also look very cold. Nice video again. Thanks

[@gertboerman3666]

The remedy against seasickness: mix water with real Coca Cola, 50/50, and drink quite a bit of it before leaving/setting sail. Personally I do not get seasick, touch wood. However, it worked for over 50% of the people that sailed with me. No pharmacy needed and one will not get groggy.

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode

[@JeffLatimer]

Another great episode. Thank you for sharing. Keep it up!

[@3tsedwards]

Portree am the isle of Skye is wonderful. Hope you can stip there next time.

[@redneckpirates8478]

Please tell me you guys are heading into the Med. I'd love to welcome you at our Marina, close by Barcelona, and break out the BBQ for a proper Aussie welcome!

[@michaelsorensen4597]

You guys are fearless and awesome!

[@wesleyduke4546]

Great video, guys. You are always so entertaining while remaining balanced with the practicalities of sailing ⛵️. Been following you since quite some years now and really enjoy your channel. Do you plan to sail around my Irish homeland?

[@cdnsoul5808]

To us in my community, venison has always meant wild animals eating grass or other mother nature's vegetarian treasures. If it's raised on a farm and is grain fed, it's not venison anymore

[@Neilhuny]

I'm curious if that's a regional thing - which country and district are you from? As an English Midlander I wouldn't distinguish between wild and farm reared for deer

[@drjasper100]

As usual, very entertaining. Love your films.

[@ryanwalsh7491]

Where is the previous episode???? I can't find 214....😢 There you were, pulling into Scotland, then BAM! I missed everything exciting and I was teased in your recap for it in this episode.... I want to see a fancy yacht delivery.

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Enjoy sailing video! Mike from Missouri

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

Thanks Mike!

[@garymoxon1980]

Great to see you guys sailing together instead of being on shifts 😁

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video and welcome to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@USA-RE3]

I'm still wondering about the mussels' shells... Are there any birds around? Either -birds dropped the shells on Millie (to crack them open), or the Seal was on board while you were gone! Thank You guys for sharing your wonderful adventures and laughter! 🍀🙏🏻🍀

[@Neilhuny]

Seagulls drop mussels all the time

[@bazzauk7317]

the falcon meets the unicorn

[@richardcamp8301]

not sure where you are heading and I assume you are a little ahead but sailing cadoha, bushpoint, and drake paragon are posting from the west coast of the Uk and Ireland to give idea or ask questions

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Beautiful sail. West coast has some of the most exciting and beautiful sailing anywhere. Stunning. Make sure you do some inner Hebridean island hopping too. Don’t just stay in Oban then leave like Uma did.

[@johnwalker6711]

Your Tanyana is a really nice looking boat the opening footage from dock was great and of course all the sailing over the years

[@karelundberg9523]

It's always fun to follow you. many beautiful scenery, well-made videos but above all to meet such happy and positive faces where nothing seems to be stuck. OK reality can sometimes be different, we all know. We wish you a pleasant journey. The archipelago in southern Norway and the Swedish west coast is very similar to Scotland.

[@WillN2Go1]

I saw you picking up something. Ah, flying fish. No, a clam shell What? How does a clam shell jump up and land on your boat....? Oh, yeah. duh. The thing about sun damage to fabric or thread is that where it breaks is not where it's damaged. The damage is everywhere, that's just the first place it breaks. On my Hunter I was pulling (yanking with the power winch) the fussy in mast furled main sail when the clew exploded. A few days later I left for journey and spent four months feeling like a complete moron who broke the clew. Back I took it in, got it resewn. Second sail out the jib clew popped. I was reefed, the winds weren't even 18 knots. Sun damage? Looks like it. On my old Honda a hose failed. I refilled the radiator three times to get to the shop. They replaced the hose. Almost immediately a second hose broke. I googled. Yeah, when one hose goes always replace them all because they're done too. So your sail? Probably be easy enough to get a nice Scottish sailmaker to run fresh stitches on all the seams.

[@mckaypaterson2519]

Long range forecast: Lots of snow and ice coming to Britain. Blizzards? White Xmas for sure. Some friends have gone to France for Xmas holidays. Cheers and lots of drams to keep warm.

[@willmcneill3108]

For some reason I'm not seeing the Spirit delivery episode. Really hope it'll appear soon - very beautiful-looking things.

[@davidforbes7772]

I hope you stop off in Oban. It is a great wee town with a superb Scotch.

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We have 😊 although I have yet to try the scotch 🥃

[@sailingbeautje1516]

Question, we missing the episode 214, are there restrictions for the Netherlands for that one?

[@pleiadesdriver1]

Your day sailing in winter looks a lot like our days sailing in Scottish waters this past summer. I don't think that anyone pays the heating bill there as it seems to be cold and wet most of the time. It is still beautiful though and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Scotland. 🙂

[@Early8Q]

I’m two minutes into this episode…. Got to stop and say that what you have is often far superior to what you dream of! What a great metaphor for life…. Millie isn’t a dreamy Spirit, but she is so much more than that! On with the episode then…. Back now from another great episode…. So what are the domestic arrangements regarding Marmite and Vegemite?

[@alex.m.rotaru8479]

how long are you in Scotland for? I live in Edinburgh at the moment...you will love it here a bit cold at the moment but that's Scotland too sometimes 😅

[@gwstrauss65]

I missed something where is episode 214, it's not posted

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Great presentation tyvm

[@bphenry]

7:28 - 8:23 Why is the text on the books and Adam's bib backwards but the clock is right way around? What the heck kinda wormhole tardis thing is Millie?

[@kristaready8812]

You guys are too cute 🤗💞

[@gerdbusker8174]

My kids call these seals "banana seals"

[@Scottish_Kiwi]

welcome back to Scotland :) Any chance you guys are going to sail the caledonian canal?

[@mitchellmccaffery4220]

I dont know how you can leave your baby for that long. I feel for you I am in newcastle australia its just warming up here I hate the cold lived in PNG for six years 20c was jumper time and diving was no wetsuit 21+ I have been back 20 years and still hate the cold dont know how you do it.

[@fergusallan7187]

Have u got the Clyde cruising club guide?

[@AllanMelsen]

I can’t find episode 214 or 213 in your videos? Did you remove them?

[@jpdj2715]

Sweet episode. What happened to the Hydrovane? Locked away in the recess and not yet placed back?

[@grahamatsea3575]

It's still on the stern with cover ......opticians appointment next 😂😂😂

[@pauloneill1723]

Are you coming to Liverpool by any chance would love to meet you both 😊

[@SailingMillennialFalcon]

We won’t be making any trips to Liverpool anytime soon unfortunately! We’re in Scotland for a while for winter ❄️

[@johnrathbun2943]

Venison has to be dead technically. Its in reference to the meat of a deer.

[@chrisallen6791]

Intrigued that when conditions are fresh and you take in 3 reefs in the main, you stick with a semi-furled Genoa rather than use your staysail...?

[@AndoCommando1000]

What happened to the Spirit Yacht delivery episode? I remember watching it - but it seems to have disappeared from KZbin since then? Did it have to be deleted because of owner privacy?

[@AndoCommando1000]

Yeah, probably bad publicity for Spirit Yachts or embarrassing for the new owner@@paulb3243

[@sanddan525]

Maybe because too much had to be blurred out to make a decent video?

[@AndoCommando1000]

Well I enjoyed the Spirit Yacht delivery episode personally.

[@michaeldlaguardia]

I saw it go up but didn’t watch it in time before it disappeared. Lesson learned!

[@donj2744]

👍

[@JonKjrsgaard]

Am I the only one that can't find episode 214? I remember seeing it in my feed but when I went to see it later it was gone.
