LAZY SUNDAY MORNING - after an overnight in the dinghy

- This video is in English, but French subtitles are available. Bonjour les francophones ! Il y a des sous-titres français sur cette vidéo.
In this video, I sail out of the port of Douarnenez, where I live, and go a little way down the bay to find a sheltered anchorage for a quiet night afloat. Or rather, to an anchorage I thought would be sheltered. Actually it proved to be rather open to the swell, which makes the evening rather noisy and rolly. Fortunately it is calmer the next morning, and I pass my time cooking and eating and wandering around on the rocky shoreline, as well as reading the Sunday papers on my iPad.
While I am out sailing, the COP27 Climate Conference is in session at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, and this issue dominates the news. The damage being caused to natural ecosystems by the global warming being caused by human green house gas emissions concerns everyone who enjoys the natural environment. This is now established science and should be uncontroversial. It affects us all, and I discuss my feelings about this.

AVEL DRO
Do you want a boat like mine?
Avel Dro is an Ilur designed by François Vivier, and built of clinker plywood by Les Charpentiers Reunis of Cancale in 1994. I bought her in France in 2003 to import her into the UK, and more recently returned her to France again before trade restrictions were imposed.* The design is based closely on the traditional inshore fishing boats of Brittany in the early years of the twentieth century - hence her simple boom-less lugsail rig and lack of a mainsheet horse, (sometimes controversial among my viewers). Although rare in Britain, Ilurs are relatively common in France. Modern Ilurs are however slightly different internally from mine, as they have more built in buoyancy. The name Avel Dro is Breton, and basically means a whirlwind.
Length 4.44 m
Sail area 12.2 m²
Beam 1.70 m
Draught 0.25 / 0.86 m
Design category C3

Similar dinghies can often be found for sale on the website of the French magazine Le Chasse-Marée:
www.chasse-mar...
Or try Le Bon Coin, (where you can buy anything in France):
www.leboncoin.fr
*Since January 2021, Great Britain (but not Northern Ireland) residents who buy a boat in France or elsewhere in the EU, with the intention of importing it into the UK, must pay VAT and other duties on the import. This is due to Brexit: sorry.

This is not a channel about Climate Change, but as there have been numerous comments from people who reject the findings of modern science, perhaps I should make a few points here.
The Earth’s CO2 levels were last as high as they are now from 3 to 5 million years ago.
Homo Sapiens has been on the Earth only about 200,000 years.
Human civilisation is less than some 8,000 years old.
Modern science is perhaps only 250 years old.
Modern agriculture is only some 70 years old.
According to contemporary climate science, humanity has begun to radically alter the Earth’s climate. This is due to emissions of so called "warming gases" since the industrialisation of the 19th century, mainly CO2. The link between the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and global temperatures has been established for generations, and has been recently confirmed in the Vostok ice core research - summary here: www.e-education.psu.edu/earth104/node/1267
Within a timespan of only 100 years, global heating will flood major coastal cities and make vast tracts of the tropics uninhabitable by humans, unless we act immediately to cut warming emissions. Otherwise the resulting climate change will be impossible to adapt to without major trauma and billions of deaths.
That the Earth was much hotter when dinosaurs walked the planet, is irrelevant. There were no humans then, let alone a complex modern civilisation based on modern agricultural production. It is surely unarguable that human civilisation is only sustainable within a limited temperature range.
If you want to threaten to stop subscribing to this Channel because you reject the truth of modern science, then that is up to you. But please do not accuse me of being “political” when I mention it. The issue of Climate Change concerns anyone who enjoys the natural environment.
Thank you for your attention. Now back to the sailing!
I love this channel even more for talking about climate change. It’s happening, and we are all to blame. ❤
Roger, this pinned comment regarding climate change is most appreciated.
Roger, I've loved watching your videos for a long time and I'm really thankful that you're speaking about the fragility of the environment we're not only enjoying so much, but that we rely on. I wonder what many people consider to be the meaning of conservatism, if they refuse to conserve nature and, if you will, creation. Those who doubt scientic findings, without being scientists themselves, are just looking for a convenient excuse to carry on like before. If you wouldn't question a cancer diagnosis, why would you question 50 years of warnings by international climate scientists?
@@marcusmollsailing Thank you Marcus. I appreciate the comment.
That's a good response but I don't believe any of it more than one accredited Source has given information on 12000 year Cycles based off the sun's solar flares there's other science out there and that's all I'm saying when you start dealing with science you dealing with something as corrupt as the United States government
I watch and watch each video you make and dream of the day my boat is finished and I can do this. I need this for my mental health to be free and enjoy the freedom of the sea. The pleasure your video's give are as you put is immeasurable. Another video please Roger.
Thank you for your outstanding ability to put me right there on your boat, such that i smell the salty breeze and feel the tug of the sail. I've spent years in small motorless sailing craft, in US waters, exploring estuaries and shallow lagoons, miles of it where yachts can't ever go. A sailor and expert chronicler such as yourself has earned the right to comment on climate change, or anything you see fit, and tell how it touches sealife seen intimately up close and personal, alone on a sailing vessel, spending nights inches from shore. Few on this earth are as qualified. Thank you for those reflections.
Just had a chance to watch this with my little boy. We both really enjoy your adventures and I think you may be inspiring him to sail one day too. We're trying to raise our children to be considerate of the resources they consume and their impact on the natural (and man made world). I believe encouraging children to enjoy nature and outdoor hobbies can build an appreciation for the natural environment and hopefully instil a desire to take care of it.
Couldn't agree more.
Thank you Joel. You are so right.
I must control myself, the whoooooop of joy could be heard across the whole of Shropshire when your latest video came on stream. Total pleasure 😊.
Now, why didn't it occur to me many years ago to think of dinghy cruising? What a lovely way to spend time on the water!
A great channel of very informative and immersive videos! Thanks.
Another masterpiece of camera-work & a reminder, if one was needed, of how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Thanks for taking us with you again & taking the time to film/edit the overnight adventure - very much appreciated
Hello Roger, I have been a loyal follower of your fantastic videos for years. I really appreciate you bringing up the climate issue as well. It's a big problem that will affect us all. I am sailing in the Dutch Wadden area and the consequences of climate change will also cause dramatic changes there.
What a lovely video to watch on a lazy Sarurday morning! Thank you Roger for treating us with yet another view into the life on a small traditional sailing boat!
The realities of a changing environment cannot be denied. I live in Alaska and I am well versed in the loss of coastal communities to rising tides and how our salmon are impacted by warming ocean temperatures, and now our crab have run off looking for cooler waters, or perhaps it is the trawlers or??
I have recently begun to follow your videos and I enjoy my South Jersey skiff I recently purchased from my new friend Scott. I will have it out on Katechamak bay this summer - Thank you!
Thanks Harry. Yes, I thought this issue concerned all of us who enjoy the natural environment.
유유자적한 Roger님의 영상 참 좋습니다.
감사합니다^^
So nice to spend some time with you in your boat. I and many others are feeling the sadness of losing what we have in nature. I call this future world “the other place “ and something that we’ll have to deal with compassionately. Thanks for your efforts in bringing these moments to us.
Thanks Richard
I always feel better for watching your adventures. They remind me somewhat of my own excursions starting when I was 8 years old in my little Bembridge Scow, pottering around the Solent. The simplicity is what is enchanting. Keep them coming!
Good to hear the environmental message. Too many avoid talking about global warming and the realities we face if we don’t reduce emissions and as you point out, what will happen even if we do stop now. Whatever our profession, lifestyle and pursuits, we are all in this together and must look at our role in it all and act accordingly, if not for ourselves, for our children and their children and the rest of biodiversity
Another wonderful video Roger. I fees as if we have been sailing together for many years. Thanks SO much.
My boat is already laid up for the winter. So it was a great pleasure to vicariously sail with you again. Many thanks!
Thanks cobba ,cracking hobby you have champion
Bonjour Roger !
Et merci à toi pour le partage de ce "dimanche matin paresseux" !
For information, in the Mediterranean, there is no problem with the tide... but the problem is that Brittany is not there! And if she was there, she wouldn't be so beautiful!
Good winds, calm seas to you, Roger!
Bon vent, mer calme à toi, Roger !
So nice to see the everyday activities associated with dinghy cruising. So peaceful, contemplative, and meditative. Going from A to B on a trip is ultimately what it is all about, but there is so much to do at A and B, and it is all part of the experience. I would love to see you step and unstep your mast some day. Thanks Roger!
Love the videos roger! I binge watch all of them at least twice a year! 😂👍
As a person who doesn’t sail I came across your videos and really enjoy the gentle atmosphere of them. 🏴🙏👍
Again a great video, Roger, thank you so much! This »Lazy Sunday Morning« episode conveys perfectly the essence of dinghy cruising.
Seems like such a relaxing, peaceful time. I envy you. Thanks for another lovely video!
Very nice video. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the little details of your life aboard your boat.
roger that was lovely thank you
I enjoyed the slower pace, seeing how you set up, , prepare the stove, make coffee, and stow it all back. Routines are actually difficult to build.
Great intro, marvellous photography - the crepuscular light,
the striations of land and sky behind, the headland half in light half shade
and then a lone sailor : it's like a painting by Caspar David
"Crepescular" ... And I thought it was only a French word.
Thanks.
Always a great pleasure to watch, as always. Very nicely filmed and perfect music. Thank you.
Masterful in every way...thank you...greetings from the Chesapeake
Some great comments Roger. Its scary when we think of our negative impact on the planet ... even each day ... with our consumer lifestlye , toxic cars , our daily waste , pollution of sea and land. Quite a worry. Not sure it will be addressed until it is profitable 🤔
Good stuff as always. It is a pleasure to be taken along. Thank you!
Beautifully shot. A nice, relaxing lace. Thanks!
Another great video Roger thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I was very interested in your heater attachment for your cooker! I have the Origo 3000 in a 24ft yacht I'm currently doing up. I was thinking about installing a separate heater but your attachment for the cooker would work perfectly fine in my situation. Thanks again for the video keep up the brilliant work of inspiring people like me to get sailing. Gavin
Stunning as always. It reminds me of the Carrick Roads but much less spoiled. Beautiful!
Videography is excellent. Thank you for sharing these vignettes which fuel the dreams for my own voile et aviron when I retire in 1-2 years. These are the visual proofs of Ratty's Theorem (to Mole).
Look forward to each and enjoy them all. Thanks, Roger!
That was an appropriate video to spend a lazy half hour watching and taking in the experience. I deeply appreciate the environmental message too. When I regularly dinghy sailed up to 10-15 years ago, there was always a big moment for me where I would contemplate our ignorance and greed that would accelerate the loss of all this beauty. Although sailing didn't start me down the environmental cause, it certainly allowed me time and space to focus my thoughts. Once again, dinghy sailing especially is a great educator and pastime, in more ways than one. Thank you Roger.
This video coincided with COP27, so I thought it was pertinent. Interesting that I have lost subscribers for the first time over this though!
@@RogerRoving Sad but unsurprising about the lost subscribers. I constantly worry about how I can make my life have less of an impact on the environment, but for many the thought of global warming just makes them defiant in denial and determined to waste whatever I have laboriously tried to save.
So relaxing Roger. Great video to watch following a busy workweek. Even liked the food channel aspect LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! God bless you!
Excellent video. Very good choice of music. Professional editig. It's like being accompanied by you. Roger, thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
wonderful as always thanks. Those French towns look like another world to me and i would love to explore them
This channel is good medicine
Well it was fun while it lasted Roger, goodbye and fair winds
Always a pleasure spending time with you on Avil Dro! That was quite a breakfast! Also, really enjoy your closing music!
That music in the beginning is just enchanting.
Quelle beauté. Calme et impressionnante et un joli doux réveil. Merci à vous.
Another lovely video Roger. As to heating pastries on the Origo: You want to use a trivet of some sort in your pot. I have used everything from scrunched up balls of aluminium foil to a couple of wrenches. But the easiest thing to do is keep a collapsible vegetable steaming trivet onboard. Put your pastries, pies, sausage rolls on the trivet, put a lid on the pot and put your origo on a bit under half (too high and you will burn the pot!) It takes about 45 minutes or so to heat a meat pie and you will have nice flaky crispy pastry like it has just come from the bakery hot! 👌 You can also bake bread in the pot like this. As to climate change, I doubt anything will really change the path we are on until the rich start dying on mass in rich countries - which as you know is too late anyway.
Thank you. I will try that.
@@RogerRoving yes even those frozen supermarket meat pies will get a bit crispy. About 45 mins to 1 hour for a meat pie or sausage roll. Looking forward to your next video 👍
Hi.
I love your chanel. Been watching for some years.
However so relaxing this time perfect!
All the best Malkuta
Good memories of peace, calm, organised practical simplicity. Thank you. Carpe diem, carpe diem my friend
thank you roger, just what i needed at 3am to relax my thinking
Thank you Roger, it's was very nice.
👍
Brilliant again Roger
Well this channel was a great escape from the madness in the world today. All things must pass i guess. Good tidings.
It is desperately sad. But the natural world is under great threat. We cannot simply escape into it any longer to evade those worries. What it should do though, is encourage us to fight to defend it.
I’ve watched this twice already. Thanks for the videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
Well done, Roger! If only I were two, then I could subscribe again!
Спасибо!! I'm glad that you often have videos coming out again)) I look with pleasure! I am always inspired by you for my hikes and videos!
Thank you Roger, always a boost to watch your informative and excelent videos. Merci beaucoup!
Ah life aboard a dinghy. A constant state of moving things around. Thanks for the video. Josh
Thanks Roger, always a pleasure.
you certainly gave it your all
Very peaceful and relaxing. Thanks Roger.
Wonderful, I'm re-reading your book at the moment and fitting out my Dabber for cruising in the spring. Can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a cracking video, thank you Roger. Ben
Very nice. The noises of the sea, and the sea birds, and the gentle rocking have a wonderful effect. Personally I don't mind a little rocking. Cheers
It wasn’t the rocking that was the problem. It was the up and down, that the GoPro doesn’t show!
@@RogerRoving I know what you mean; a sailor has to deal with various annoyances. Many years ago we camped on Elliott Key in Florida we were treated to a sweaty hot night enhanced by clouds of mosquitoes. The air was thick with the insects swirling about in an undulating fog that limited visibility. It was impossible to sleep and the buzzing was everywhere. The skeeters could sting through a sheet. The good old days.
I've watched several of your videos, Roger, and never knew you had a tender behind! Useful little inflatable astern... Your videos are an object lesson: in my rare days afloat (19 so far in 2022) I find it hard not to keep sailing. I need to make more of the time spent at anchor, even though it is usually only on a familiar reservoir. I never quite relax into it like you manage to.
I don’t use a tender very often, but it was necessary here.
I love lazy Sunday. Thanks
Living the dream sir :) wonderful as always to come along on your adventures! safe sailing amigo x
Nice video, Rodger. Watched it on an absolutely foul day in Wigan and it fairly bucked me up. I very much like the look of those drybags. I guess they are pretty expensive but they are clearly a cut above the usual.
Very nice ,zeilen in holland is ook leuk IJsselmeer. ❤🎉🎉🎉🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Ah, what timing. Friday; pizza, wine, and Roger Barnes.
You don't do 'lazy' Roger! Ever😊
I love the adventure of the day + the routine of small boat travel but I don't like rocking and rolling all night. I no longer can drag my boat up the beach so its marinas and log booms now. I enjoy your adventures. Keep it up.
Hi. I only ever use the car to pull my boat up slipways.
Lovely listening to the water under the hull under your narrative with headphones on.
Thank you. I spend an inordinate amount of time on editing the sound.
Saving this for later when I need a break 👍🏻
Climate change is an issue I'm very glad you have raised. We can do something about it. And we must all do something about it.
Just another very enjoyable video. Your comments about climate change are so true and obvious. Here in Texas we’re about to roast with 108 degree temperatures. But honest Roger I simply do not know what to do about it. Do I abandon my cars then how do I get groceries or see my doctors? And, if I could afford a horse, I don’t know how to ride. Boy we’re in a pickle.
You are such a nice chap Roger, that I have no desire to argue with you over your views on climate change. You offer so much with your wonderful laid back videos. PS. That final bit of sculling and the music really finished it off beautifully!
It is the established scientific consensus. Don’t “argue”, just share with me a link to single scientific paper in a respected research journal that disputes the consensus on Climate Change. I put it to you that you will not be able to, because it is the truth, and attempts to discredit it are simply based on politically motivated commentary by people who have never done any solid research. But we’ll see. I think the space below left free for your link to a scientific paper will remain vacant.
I didn’t say I was a denier Roger, I like to keep an open mind on all scientific views regarding climate change.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us subscribers. Please allow me to perhaps alleviate your concern over climate change. My suggestion is that you look at three graphs showing global temperatures and co2 concentration for three different time spans. The time spans are: 500 million, 2.5 million and 15,000 thousand years. They are easily obtained thanks to the internet and I hope you will find them helpful.
I defy you to share with me one peer reviewed article in a scientific journal that questions the scientific truth of accelerating manmade climate change over the past 150 years, (which is what we're concerned with). Not an irrelevance about the Earth 500 million years ago, but an actual piece of contemporary scientific research. Only one though - I'm making it easy for you. Please use the space below.
Thank you for your reply. I think you may be right about the existence of a peer reviewed article to share with you. The existence or lack of the existence of such an article however will not affect the historical climate record.
@@fredfinderandcrispin It's about rates of change. Earth has had many cycles of glaciation and deglaciation in the current geological epoch but the current warming is a bigger and faster departure than what our quarternary biome is used to adapting to.
@@mschmidt62 With only about 150-years of recorded, measured data, it's impossible to make such a comparison. The past data will always look "smoother". Also we're in an "interglacial". It could go either way, warmer or cooler. Life in general prefers warmer, by-the-way. As for peer reviewed papers, check out sites like "What's Up With That" or CDN, or read books by highly qualified scientists like Ian Plimer for suggestions. If the message comes from government bodies or the press, always be suspicious.
@@RogerRoving Just data over the last 170 years.

This cheered me up. At anchor on a 67m ketch off Bandos in the Maldives. Cant wait to get home to my 18ft ketch this summer.
I've really enjoyed discovering your channel, thanks for all the content you have produced! And, I just purchased your book - looking forward to reading your insights!
A very good watch Roger...thank you.
I didn’t comment on your dinner the last time I watched this, but those sausages looked pretty good! Also appreciated your comments on climate change. A well reasoned presentation, and anyone thinking your views are political, should just scroll on!
Agree with your comments on climate change. I used to worry on behalf of my offspring but now I'm starting to worry that it will seriously impact my life before that ends. I'm not optimistic I'm afraid, I feel completely powerless, and just try to enjoy nature while I still can. I also live in France btw.
Remember Al Gores predictions about sea level rises,they never happened,this is all another scam to stop you travelling,read UN agenda 30 ,it will explain everything that is happening and going to happen,because all our western governments have signed up to the agenda without asking if we want it or not.
Thank you Alex. The tragedy is how many deny it, particularly in the US where the issue seems to become politicised, even though the science is absolutely solid and established beyond any doubt.
@@RogerRoving Sad thing is Roger,that intelligent people believe the climate change nonsense,more,CO2 means more green vegetation,more people get fed,which is a good thing , hopefully you don't believe in useless eaters ,the same as the late Prince Phillip and most climate vigilantes.
Thank you for this gem!
Roger it’s easy to be philosophical about global warming, but you use a car, you cook meals, you heat your home in the winter, you buy things made from plastics, your food if it’s anything like mine comes in too much plastic wrapping, your milk comes in plastic containers which are one use while the old glass bottles were reusable, your waterproofs, your bedding, your waterproof bags are all man made fabrics, I could go on but we have created a monster of a way of life that we have lost control off. Really enjoy your videos, again special materials for your cameras etc. We are literally on a sinking ship and the best thing to do is try and rescue as many for eternity as
Possible. Thanks
Amen, brother!
Great video and thanks for sharing.
Merci pour ca petit sojourn, Roger
I really enjoyed that, a lovely video.👍
Wonderful!!! Thank you!
Thank you for a splendid video, I really appreciate the time you have taken to set up shots , and seeing the minutiae of life aboard is interesting. Perhaps a small trivet in the bottom of the pan and a lid on top to reheat the pastries might work?
The warm November is strange, and as you say, worrying. Merçi encore 👍🏾😀
Brilliant video as always. So sad but true about our environment. I really think we may have left it too late!
Yes. It saddens me. Particularly the rejection of the truth of this issue by so many.
I've just found your channel, and iam fascinated by your boat. Have you done a vlog about the contents and layout of your lovely boat, if not I would love to " have a tour" thank you
Beautiful episode, Roger.
Thank you Roger for pointing out Global warming I couldn't agree more I live on the coast and have experienced the changes in my lifetime we all have to be more engaged in change.
Hello Roger, I have just bought a Lugger, what do you do when you leave the trailer for several days to ensure its safety please? Many thanks for your videos.
Always enjoy your post Roger.
Morning roger hope you well very much looking forward to see you in new video robert
Thanks again for your video efforts. I know it's not a simple procedure, yet you make it look natural. I too have found this sunny weather strangely discouraging, combined with the fact that the global population just hit 8 billion which is unsustainable, makes me almost ashamed to be human. Now if I could just get a boom tent made and brave the cold Canadian winter. How cold was it when you were making this video?
It wasn’t cold at all, just a little damp from condensation. And that was concerning, as you say.
@@RogerRoving Very warm in the sun here (Vancouver, about 8 degrees) but very cold in the wind and down to zero overnight. Thanks again, I've always been a small boat sailor and camper but camping on the boat itself is new to me and something you've introduced me too. Also giving up on little outboards which frankly have been the bane of my existence...except Seagulls, somehow they always worked. But what a racket!
Well here in Melbourne we're still wondering when winter is going to end.
Hi Roger,
two points if I am not too late in this debate?
Firstly I would have thought that the dinghy cruising arena was not a forum for political correct or any other kind of dogma for that matter - dinghy cruising is open,
exploratory - and, when we meet together, interactive!.
I take it that a love of dinghy cruising is the only common factor amongst us all.
Civilised logical debate therefore becomes a potential for great joy and satisfaction.
So I do not sympathise with those who leave nor with excluding anyone on principle.
The other point that I would pick you up on is what I think is a self-refuting assertion that a lack of Papers indicates that the issue is beyond debate.
The issue could not have been settled, nor become a consensus unless all the alternative points had been raised and answered.
And thirdly, there can be no such thing as "settled science" ?!!!?
( - at least not in a universe where 95% of everything is "Dark" - at least not IMHO.....)
FWIW,
Frank
..... and fourthly (!?)
Outside of their speciality, every scientist is a layman - that makes it hard for us laymen to evaluate a scientific paper.
Climate science is not ”dogma”, sir. If I tell you this year is the hottest since records began, is that “dogma” too? No. It is simply the truth.
@@RogerRoving Do you have a scientific paper that states 2021 was the hottest recorded year on Earth?
www.noaa.gov/news/2021-was-worlds-6th-warmest-year-on-record
You drinking the fresh coffee with satisfaction..bliss 😂
