Hands down the best sailing video I've ever watched! Tery I'm so proud of you, you show everyone that anything can be done if you try! Well done, make sure you swing by us when your passing!
😂😂 I'll wouldn't go that far, it's just some idiot sticking a camera in his mush 😂😂 Cheers for watching!
@@BumblingSailor your no idiot mate your doing what most of us just talk about. And if you think your an idiot at the start of all this you will be a genius in no time
Can’t wait for your first time out on Sarinda. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I’ve wandered here after you mentioned it, you weren’t wrong.
@@mikethomas2138 Tery is the best!
It's very refreshing to see someone actually follow through with, "go small, go now". Wishing you the best, along with everyone else here. Keep it up. GL
Yep, sod it! 😂😂
You are my hero. Not because you know it all, but because you don't and you work through the problem until you find a solution. As other folk have been saying ''You rock''
😂😂 Thank you!
"It turns out you can just do stuff if you like." This is such a great quote. Friend, you have gone sailing! and you did it well. You do good words too.
😂😂 Cheers!
Terry, I am so impressed. With very little sailing experience, you have taken your boat out into the open sea’s , what an experience, talk about grabbing the bull by the horns!
Amazing. RESPECT!
Brother, so brave👍
Loved this video. I will be certainly following your progress, result👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️❤️
Thank you! It was awesome!
The smile on your face when you left.....priceless !! well done mate, great first passage.
😂 It was awesome!
You provided EXACTLY what others are trying to explain for years.
Sailing is NOT complicated, does NOT need hugely expensive boats, and with the right basic mindset
everyone can do this without all that nonsense, overcomplicated "nautical" nonsense of names, words, and terms.
Your video is one of a few TRUE videos here on UA-cam.
Well done, mate.
You just made history.
Safe travels and always fair winds ❤❤❤❤
Side note....
Get yourself very good 🌞 sun glasses. Helps a lot to avoid tiredness.....
Thank you so much! It's definitely about just doing it! (I've since bought some 😂)
Well Terry you’ve only gone and bloody done ‘a sailing!’ And to the Isle of Wight as your first proper sail! Bloody awesome! The video was fantastic, absolutely loved it. No problem with audio, your narration was perfect. So proud of you and your determination and dedication. You are doing it! Living your dream. Well done you, this is exciting and inspiring to watch 😃 and you got to Bembridge too, so pleased 🙂⛵️⚓️🌊
Cheers Cara! It was friggin awesome!
I admire you for going beyond your comfort zone and making your dreams happen !
Yes it's easy to see what you are doing wrong but what's more important you are recognising those things too ! There's a lot to learn and you need time but you are doing what it takes, it's just one step at a time.
Exhaustion comes from exposure to the elements, from concentration and your mind running wild trying to adapt, understand, remember what you have read and been told and from the total sensory overload, it is also because you are fighting against the movement of the boat and over correcting your balance, and possibly from not eating enough before you started, it all gets easier in time.
So where were you sitting at the beginning and end of the video, looks like a B&B or something ?
My aunties spare bedroom 😂 basically the same but free 😂😂😂
Things you need, easy access to water, a bottle to pee in when in the cockpit, and dry clothes.
Well done.
Crackin video brother... we'll done!
I'm a newbie to... Been on the seas for 4 months now, currently in Poole Harbour... crossing the channel in a few weeks on my way to the Mediterranean.
Take care and God bless ⚓
Nice! Fair winds mate!
absolutely smashing it! yeah that's exactly how you sleep when its like that. stay awake as long as you can then crash out
😂😂 I'm looking forward to it! Can't wait to do my first night passage!
Mate, you rock! Boats rock too, but you'll get used to it ;) really enjoyed this video, seeing you go out on your first leg of the journey, who knows where it will take you. Fare winds to you
Cheers! I'll get used to it eventually 😂
Congratulations, well done you ! Thanks for letting us join in on the adventure. I’m looking forward to rounding Cape Horn.
Me too! 😂
Don’t be upset about the audio. I follow a sailing channel where you can only hear what he’s saying half the time but the scenery and what he gets up to makes up for that. Brilliant start Terry.
Thank you!
@@BumblingSailor Sorry … Tery … I remembered👍
Take a scissors and remove the guts of a fluffy toy animal. Wrap it around your microfone, or where the mike is, in your thing you use for filming. Action cam, whatever. Some fluffy fabric will do miracles, or spend a fortune on the professional thing. But please DO something about it, most sailing video's are BEEEEEEP quality.
Bye the way, delighted to see your wearing your life jacket ✔️✔️✔️✔️
😂👍
Sailing is tiring for sure, especially when beating in confused seas like you were there. It still takes us three tries to pick up a morning ball, and that's with two people on deck! And your instincts are good. Putting up the minimum sail to get the job done is the safest and puts the least strain on the rigging. Congrats on a very successful first sail!
Thank you!
Bravo !
Beautiful vidéo et quel courage !
Vous vous êtes lancé seul , c'est beau.
Je me régale avec vos vidéos. Merci
merci à toi aussi!
This was one of the best sailing videos I've ever seen! No made up problems, just the life as it throws the challenges! Thank you for sharing your experiences, I hope one day I can walk in those shoes too!
Thank you so much!
I set off 22 years ago, also from New Haven. But in Connecticut. I had never been on a boat before. And like you was worried about putting up the sails. You sound right northern, I'm from Lancashire. I still have my sailboat. And I am a superyacht captain. There's a lot to learn. Enjoy
Aye, I'm from Bolton. Which used to be part of Lancashire until greater manchester stole us 😂.
Looking good. Nice job on the sailing. Your video captures it well. Ive started using that 360 camera a bunch too.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's a really cool camera. I'm probably using about 10% of its capabilities, but it's fun to play with!
thank you for being sooooo crazy brave!!!
😂😂 Or crazy stoopid 😂
I think I may have heard a bit of nervous laughter a couple times (Something I'm no stranger to). But what I noticed most was the sheer joy of your first real solo sail. Good for you Man. Won't be long and you'll be sailing like that other guy with a Contessa (Eric of NBJS). Glad you took us all along .
Maybe one day! 😂
This is brilliant, and it is exactly what being British used to be about: ''No idea how to do it, but I'll just go at it with mindless enthusiasm and a stiff upper lip! And gaffer tape. And a total lack of practical experience.''
Hats off to you, Sir!
So inspiring! Go small, go now! Soon I hope I will be following your lead!
Awesome! Best of luck with your adventure!
Mad crazy but brilliant, you have balls of steel and your videos single handed are great.
Been with you from start and never imagined you sailing so soon. Keep sailing captain.
Thanks for following along!
Love this.
Sad you're leaving Sussex. But good going.
Brilliantly adventurous, and concealing (hardly) your delight at actually being out there.
No bullshit, no Henri Lloyd £400 offshore fashion.
You have a boat and you're sailing with a massive smile.
A bit of stress with anchorage, but that's surely to be expected.
"Not graceful" is a wee understatement...
So looking forward to your ongoing journey.
Sunscreen and a brimmed hat essential...
Video and audio quality great.
😂 Thank you!
I am so damn impressed with you. I’ve watched countless sailing videos and this one is exactly what I imagine sailing to be like. New subscriber.
Keep it up, I enjoyed every second of it!
When/if u sail up north to norway ill come buddy sailing with you
Nice!
Good to see you out sailing , may the lady of the sea be with you
Thank you!
GREAT to see you so happy!! Keep sailing and keep smiling!! 👍👍
Cheers!
Congratulations!, as you have tested, any thing you REALLY want to do, can be done!. You will see that any hour sailing is a real long sailing class. Enjoy sailing and welcome to the sailing world!
Thank you!
Mine is a 1973 Storfidra 25'. Very close to your standards.
I follow you with great interest.
Greetings from Nynäshamn, Sweden
Thank you!
Yay at last the moment we've all been waiting for..well done mate, we're all very proud of you on your very 1st solo passage.. BIG congratulations Mr Bumble
Cheers!
Keep doing what your doing, your learning experience, is our learning experience. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
I'd hazard that all of your viewers are bloody proud of you Terry. I certainly am!
😂😂😂 Thank you!
Dude, I love content like this. Because it's ballsy and fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress throughout your future years.
I like the fact you literally threw caution to the wind and went for it as a novice.
So long as you stay safe out there, then I hope this is the start of a journey we can all enjoy and perhaps learn from.
Subbed straight away.
Fair winds and calm seas forever dude.
well done ,you survived . every day new lessons
Definitely, cheers!
Such a great video, and it has been fabulous to watch your progress. Main thing is you always smile and take the mick out of yourself.
Sir Bumble..well done ❤
😂😂 Cheers!
Yayyyyyy so fun! ❤
Excellent video, audio was good enough and your first solo sail was great to see. Your videos have an honest and accurate feel to them. Looking forward to seeing more bumbling.
Cheers! I'm looking forward to doing more!
First solo sail… done. Still living… tick. Learnt from the mistakes… tick. Well done, sir! Looking forward to the next video (sunscreen or not lol 😂) You are always learning and adding to your experience, so don’t beat yourself up over mistakes that you are making and unlikely to make again. Have a ‘successful sail’ malt when you anchor and let yourself relax (top tip that lol 😂). Keep sailing and bumbling along and we will enjoy the journey with you. Best regards from bonnie Scotland 🏴
😂😂 Thank you!
Well done Terry absolutely brilliant first solo passage. Don’t worry about the audio that happens when it’s windy 😂
😂😂 Cheers!
This was awesome 🤘Good job mate 👍
good job! picking up a mooring you want to motor WAY down. sometimes you can put it in neutral and it will ghost up. after a while, you'll be sailing up to it...
👍👍👍
Well done man💪🥂🍾
setting some main sail will make things more comfortable and stop some of the rocking side to side...great to see you out there juststay wthin your comfort zone and when the wind picks up it better to reduce sail early than later..keep bumbling Terry...
Cheers for the info!
Best Sailing video I've seen in a long time! Thanks :)
Well done!! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks for watching!
It’s a great video and one we’ve all been excited to see, Terry! You’re doing it! You’re doing the sailing thing! You got a mooring ball waaaay before I ever attempted it. The excitement in your voice says it all, you’re having the adventure you set out to do and I’m as excited for you now as I was the first time I set out on my own. Keep it going, stay safe and use all the resources available to you. Nicely done!
Thanks! I loved it!
Terry, this is a really good video👍
Thank you!
Well done mate! Big milestone reached. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you!
This was a great video! I came upon your channel by pure chance and this has been the most entertaining and refreshing sailing video that I have seen in a long, long time. Well done. I love your “can do” attitude. I don’t know what you were doing in the previous 19 episodes but something tells me its time for some serious catching up. You certainly have the personality for this. Well done. Im subscribing.
Impressed! Keep it up lad!
Awesome job! Sometimes you just get scratch the Spirit of Adventure itch and get out there.
Your honesty is refreshing.
Speechless !!!! a real GOAT
Awesome job Terry! Inspirational to me!

Thank you!

Well done. It was indeed a really good video. Very brave and inspirational. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Well done matey. Look forward to seeing the rest of your adventure up to Fleetwood.
👍👍👍
Yeah Im well impressed, learn the safety aspects soon. Im only new to sailing myself, getting my skippers licence in a few weeks in Dun Loaghaire. Im amazed at what you pulled off here, that took balls. Congratulations you survived. In some of the earlier on deck shots you actually look bigger than the boat. You handled it all fairly well, and no panic while taking on water lol, well done, Im a fan.
The closest video to what my own first solo sailing experience will (undoubtedly) be that I've ever seen! Good on ya for just getting on with it and getting it done. Really looking forward to more of your adventures to come. Well done!
Thank you! Best of luck!
