    Thanks for the video. Good luck on the repairs and I hope you can get on the water somehow, while the repairs are in progress!

    Nice video Josh. Good call to turn back. And thanks for looking after the environment.

      Thanks Bernard. I’m glad I didn’t pursue the Broughton idea. No wind the next day also makes the return difficult.

    Thank you for this video. I was surprise that you will stop cruising, as spring is coming now. No ! Of course ! You live on the over side of the planet ! Autum is coming for you ! (I'm calling from Brittany-France).🙂So have nice repair on your boat and see you next... season...

      Thank you Christophe. Winter sailing is actually really good here in Australia but Trim needs her hull repaired and refinished. Enjoy your sailing season!

    Enjoyed that Josh. Was quite crazy out there!! The waves never look quite so big on UA-cam as they are in real life so they were getting there weren't they and probably a good decision to turn back! Some of us "Europeans", if you can call British people that any more, are always looking for the quiet serene spots that are increasingly hard to come by on our crowded little island, so I love watching your channel and the lovely quiet spots in abundance. Every sail is truly a mini adventure!
    Thank-you very much for sharing the new Galley box and the rubbish bag idea and keep flying the drone! Mine took a dip in Lake Ullswater recently but fortunately had insurance so it only cost me £62 for a new one with new battery!!! You have to take the risks to get the good shots!!
    Happy sailing

      Cheers Dave, jealous of the Brits too. You are right in that the sea state is scarier in real life. Take care, J

    Great video Josh. Terrific content sea birds, island, fast sailing, vegetation and of course the prized piece of furniture - the galley box - with dowell joints!

    What a terrific sail the first day! Love the galley box -great idea to use recycled bin to line it. Good luck with the repairs and look forward to your next sail.

      Same as last one. Dji mini 2 se. Basic but gets great results. Happy to come film KL while Trim is on the hard. J

    Are you going to have to get a mast head light next - just in case you are caught in the dark? I am sure you can get a battery operated remote controlled one. Lovely galley box!

    • @DinghyCruisingKingfisher
      @DinghyCruisingKingfisher  2 місяці тому

      I might look at the Anaconda temporary light. It should only be a sometimes thing!

      Yes, dji mini 2 se. The most basic but the quality is awesome. Thanks for advice prior to departure. You really need a tailwind for Broughton. Or a 12 hour day!

    That was really interesting! Which island did you land on?

    • @DinghyCruisingKingfisher
      @DinghyCruisingKingfisher  2 місяці тому

      It’s called One Tree Island- I was a bit disappointed about the previous day so was determined to get some island footage. It’s quite close to Soldiers Point. Cute, huh?
