Your attitude suggests this gig has done you an enormous amount of good in the mental health field. Fuckin ace lad ❤

[@Nick-kn5bw]

I was the boat berthed next to you. Sadly the body of the crew member from the motor yacht was found on the shore opposite the marina, shortly after you left.

[@BumblingSailor]

Hello again Nick! Hope you're well. Sad to hear about the crew member, but I'd assumed the worst 😔.

[@Nick-kn5bw]

All good with me and pleased you’re doing so well. There will be an inquest and I guess a H&S inquiry but he was in the water from midnight to after 8am when his body was found. Poor bloke but good reminder that even moored the sea is dangerous!

[@snorungar70]

99% drowning is white men with alcohol in and no lifevest...i know and i do like my beer...

[@LNM0000]

​@@Nick-kn5bwThere but for the grace of... luck .... go I.

[@jonelliott9553]

Glad you’re safe, Terry. As you were dealing with your own gale, we were blowing a hole in our headsail coming back from Annapolis to Rock Hall in some heavy wind and sea. You faired better than us and from the looks of it, you did a really nice job. I’m off to find a new headsail! Cheers!

[@adrianstorr2370]

Well done for offering to help in the search. Unfortunate ending but as you stated, it does highlight the danger of water. I'm looking forwards to the next videos. You're doing a great job and it's really great to see your confidence growing from the dark days at the end of demitrius. A big pack on the back for you mate for sticking it out when many would have folded. Hold your head high sir.

[@TheLampini]

I find even on the relative safety of inland waterways there's now and again an incident which really concentrates the mind on safety..

[@martinbowskill5511]

Well done hope you got a pint in cheers Marty Australia

[@colinwilliams9290]

Might have been a thought leg Terry and you did all you could in those tragic circumstances but this for me was your best video to date. Thanks for sharing you experiences.

[@sempertalis1230]

Stunning ! I watch you since you started your channel and I am impressed how far you came . Keep it up ! These are the stories you will keep for the rest of your life.

[@michaelstanley8209]

Well done. Your efforts to assist are to be applauded as many run for these sorts of incidents. As some one who supposedly knows little about sailing and boats you are proving to be more than capable. Keep it up

[@leslierussell4345]

Tragic event to experience, good on you for trying to help. Great to see how far you have come, keep it up.

[@dougalmcguire7060]

I tip my hat in your offer of help sir! Also, I did not realise the width of your hulk prior to the aerial drone shot approaching the pontoon - and I am talking about the yacht.

[@BumblingSailor]

Yeah, we're both pretty wide! 😂

[@AtaleofTattonTug]

Glad you pushed through the weather, sorry to hear of the MOB. the drone footage at the end was epic, love it.

[@BumblingSailor]

There's a plenty more of that to come thanks to my friend Alister!

[@alanhunter1664]

Good luck on your travels. I’ve just sailed my boat up through the west coast of Scotland and through the Caledonian canal to move my boat to Royal Quays Marina. Probably a bit premature but when you reach Royal Quays, which I assume you will as it’s a boatfolk marina, I’d like to invite you for lunch and an a coffee if you wish. Found it difficult to find places to moor on the east coast after leaving the canal and ended up doing a straight passage from Peterhead to Newcastle. It took 30 hours but was no drama.

[@tonyreina4137]

Another excellent video Terry, I bet your pleased to be tucked behind that spray hood when going wind wood. Looking for forward to the next leg.

[@dougierice3620]

Welcome to Scotland - This is our summer !😁

[@BumblingSailor]

😂😂😂

[@markplayford5836]

The drone footage was great.”Hey but it is what it is” is becoming your catchphrase mate. Your also starting to talk the talk which is great if your a sailor, however to landlubbers like me it means nowt. All that means is your getting better and better Terry. ⛵️

[@dfar2303]

You're

[@Bill-d5o]

I was feeling the cold watching your sail from Rhu 😊

[@wilbearworks]

the last time I did the Crinan the Vital Spark was moored up. It's worth a look if it's still there. Don't think about going to the Crinan Hotel for food it casts a fortune,

[@englishbob2898]

Bloody brilliant. Fantastic video. ⛵

[@keith800]

Your doing well , getting colder this time of year and weather more unpredictable , you can never be complacent as the unfortunate outcome of that man overboard emergency shows .

[@mrangry01]

Another great video but such a shame you couldnt explore the firth of Clyde which has some of the best sailing

[@BumblingSailor]

I really wish I'd given myself more time, it's my one regret on the trip 😔

[@69spook]

No bumbling from this Yachty ..... 🙂👍

[@robertfontaine3650]

You've got the undocking down to a nice little system

[@blaaaaahhhh15]

The Clyde can horrible if there is has been any S in the forecast. That short chop is a swine. Apart from that, it’s glorious!

[@johncurry6047]

Terry !! Just asking for a friend? have you heard the old nautical term, "It is what it is" 🙃😁🤣

[@BumblingSailor]

Nah, never heard of it 😂

[@johncurry6047]

@@BumblingSailor 😇😇😇

[@RichieKeane]

no good deed Terry, its always gust map +/- 10 there… at least you could use the canal. but worth it when it breaks safe watch

[@robertfontaine3650]

Beautiful ending.

[@mikeg3293]

Sad start, exciting middle and a lovely ending. You’ve got me calling everything a ‘Doo dad’!

[@josephsage3524]

Good video, you are a inspiration

[@dazzk9635]

I like the way cast off with that Knot.... What episode was that shown in... I sail Solo and that was nice & easy.... Also I like the sped up footage 👍

[@BumblingSailor]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Wao3idba-Blc0si=QJDp0kelcA91L5tr The knot is shown in this video by my very good friend Dave. Sadly he passed away recently.

[@Wyntar]

Thanks!

[@BumblingSailor]

Thank you!

[@faenorsjewel5618]

Long. Live Fin!

[@myellow7038]

Yeah nice wind, when do you start sailing? Cut the bl engine and have a beer.

[@BumblingSailor]

Didn't exactly have time to spend all day tacking into the wind across a narrow channel, doubling the already 50nm and sunrise to sunset day. Got places to be 👍

[@myellow7038]

Im just jealous, not many people sail solo in these conditions. Well done, see you next week

[@MrCA610]

Did the search and rescue involve a helicopter?

[@BumblingSailor]

It did 👍

[@ianscott3180]

It is Ardrishaig not Ardrisheg.

[@TheTishh]

eh, em, em , ah, emm, ahh, umm yeah , um! C'mon mate!

[@BumblingSailor]

Erm 🤷😂

[@jaygee5693]

A few ums and ahs are to be expected in an offhand, off-the-cuff talk. Better than a word perfect, scripted delivery.

[@TheTishh]

@@BumblingSailor hahahaa when i worked as an editor, I would have this problem with most people and we have to edit the Um's out and we call that de-umming!

[@TheTishh]

@@jaygee5693 oh yeah i know mate, but it can be difficult for the viewers not to get frustrated. Love his videos and hes a braver man than i am

[@robertscholz4486]

Worst day so far? Let me ask you something ... would you rather be sailing on the worst day, or sitting somewhere at work?

[@BumblingSailor]

I'd have rather have been sat at work warm and dry. But even when I'm out sailing I'm still sat at work, so either way 🤷😂
