Thanks, a very polite way to say the music spoils it for you, it may not be that easy, but will look into it. Music is always a problem, perhaps better without if it doesn't grab you, i understand
@@getwet501 I think the music is just too loud. Made me skip to next video cause I had problems hearing your voice properly. Seems like you had a nice trip though! :-)
I love Sea kayaks, and seeing you guys plan a camping trip, with the beautiful ocean. Fully packed with all you need including safety gear, and equipment for your kayaks. I have a 12 ft, 4k dollar kayak. With the factory trolling motor, and a small motor on my rudder. Electronics, USB chargers, lithium batteries, and all I ever need if I were stranded on an island. Shelter, first aid, water , food, communication, and always do a 3 day fishing trip with friends. So many people go out with no maps, gps, signal devices, lights. Everything you need to survive. It'll happen to everyone. Beautiful trip and video. I Really enjoyed it!.Stay safe my friends.
Your land is precious and even more seen in a kayak. Someday I will do your tour. Greetings from southern Spain. Thank you for sharing your magnificent country.
A beautiful video and a compliment to your sea kayaking skills. Your friend is at some stage almost knocked over by a wave from the right, but he does a bit of sculling or whatever it is called, gets back in balance and paddles on very relaxed!!
Absolutely stunning and beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Love to see your adventure through the camera as well as the gps. Cant wait for part II. God bless.
Thank you sir for recording this trip. Echoed your commentary on the prehistoric feel of the rocks and their shapes. Thanks for panning the camera around to show a lot of the cliffs and going through the passageways. Big difference on conditions between first and second day, beautiful calm water and well planned, 30 mph winds are tough, well done!
Really impressive video quality for this 2 person kayak adventure. Such spectacular coast line and I love the exploration that you did through arches and caves. I also appreciate how the expedition was dialed in with top notch planning, judgement, and of course, some spirits at night. Not sure how you all settled on rum with all those barrels of Talisker near by.
Nice one Bob & Co, did coastal backpacking trip from Ramasaig to Orbost years ago. There was a very smelly dead Sperm Whale carcass in the bay below the bothy. Duirnish Coast is lovely quiet part of the world. Enjoy watching your videos, especially as now have a S.O.F. folding Kayak. All best.
Stunning views of the Skye coast - as you say, ‘a prehistoric atmosphere’. Great video but I think the trip is beyond me. I’ll stick to kayaking on the Thames from Pimlico!
Thank you. Yes it's a super place to kayak and a great adventure, I can't wait to go back, but Scotland has so many great places it's hard to fit them in once never mind repeat trips
Wow, Bob! So great content, I cannot believe what Skye is offering from the sea view. My son and I just returned from Scottland, where we have been climbing mountains on Skye and kayaking the Caledonian Canal. But what you show me from the Sea side is just unmatched by what we have seen... Thanks for producing this video! Alle best and greetings from Switzerland
Love the video and music .Green with envy as I’ve just received my new 155 Delphin sea kayak .Good weather planning was very important.Brilliant.Kevinrpointer
This is a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. I knew Skye was beautiful but I didn’t realise it had such a stunning coastline. Your video has given me the urge to return soon. Like a few other commentators have mentioned, the music is too loud. It adds nothing to the video and occasionally makes it impossible to understand what you’re saying. Edit: Reading other comments I see you have replied regarding the music so no need to repeat by replying here. Save your energy for researching your next adventure 😀
Hello there from the westcountry. it's really nice to see other kayakers out there having fun around other areas to much my appreciation and yes the views are outstanding and i ireally enjoyed the video. Thanks you for sharing this 😊 👍
Beautiful trip! Greetings from Ottawa Canada. I really look forward to putting my kayak in salt water some day. We got a lot of amazing fresh water places to paddle. So at least I've got some trips to sink my teeth into in the meantime. Thanks for the great video, glad UA-cam recommended it.
Lost for words Robert - outstanding doesn’t do it the video and adventure justice. And - I’m getting so much more out of it thanks reading your kayaking books 🙏
big thx for sharing this awesome journey with us...i appreciate the composing of your storytelling&sound which reflects what the experience was about...well done. greatings from Luxembourg
That is stunning. I love Skye and it is even more incredible from the sea. I am off to pick my kayak up this weekend and will be taking it up to Skye in the summer. I cannot believe that you managed to pass Neist Point at its most benign - the currents around there are bonkers.
Thanks. Yea much of Skye is stunning. I think like a lot of notorious places, get the conditions right and they are a non event, however, as you say, wrong time , wrong conditions and Neist point would be very scary
@@getwet501 I have fished from the shore at Neist many times and the tide very rarely settles, even at slack water. This is my friend free diving their on a beautiful day. ua-cam.com/video/lJCK5LwAf1o/v-deo.html
Awesome trip video. I’d like to visit. I’m interested in what you mentioned about Lorgill Bay village being taken over. I’m curious about that period of history as my ancestors left Scotland in about 1831. I’d like to better understand their motivation for leaving. I have read a little about enclosure and I thought that that might have been part of it. Very interesting.
Bruce Fummey tells the story well on his youtube channel Scotland History Tours - look for Skye Crofters Wars in the playlists. There are also videos about the Highland Clearances and about Scots in Canada, giving other parts of the story. I also recommend Andy Wightman's book "The Poor Had No Lawyers" which describes in detail how landowners came to own millions of acres across Scotland, including on the Isle of Skye, that had been held in common.
Love to enjoy your film except the music is too loud to me, so sorry about that^^ while I am an asian of bad English! because I need youtube's CC translation^^ 🥳🥳💯🤟
Thank you, yes I know, sorry, the balance on the mix isn't right, it depends on your device as to exactly how it sounds, some are better than others, but it's not right. It was my first effort, I think my videos that follow are much better. Cheers 😁
@@josephinebennington7247 Thanks. Funny you mention that, Ive never been to that particular place, other than drive off the Harris Ferry, but this time Im already planning to... btw you may enjoy some of my other vids ef Mingulay exped x4, a couple from Jura... and lots of others cheers
Amazing trip. Thanks for sharing it with us. And what garmin gear were you using? Was that a smart watch or gps tracker? Would you consider doing a gear review kinda stuff, would me much appreciated. Cheers mate!
Thanks😁 i just use a Garmin Forerunner 735xt, a fairly basic waterproof wrist gps. Gives me basic speed and distance while on the water and I download the trace when I get home. This does all I want, but there are many avaiable that give you more real time info, but they tend to be bigger and more expensive
I just randomly found your video and I got to say, these are some spectacular views... I wish one day I will be able to follow your 'steps'... Out of curiosity, what time of year did you do the trip and what was the sea temperature at the time? I see you two are wearing dry suits, but Im wandering if one could get by in a thicker wet suit?
@getwet501 wow, thx for the super fast reply :) also, congrats! This was an awesome trip and I'm sure you guys had a blast out there. I am just beginning with similar trips, but in Adriatic which is a lot more forgiving regarding weather conditions, especially in summer. I wish you many more expeditions like this!
Hi, it's a North Shore Ocean 17.... I'm a huge fan, handles superbly empty or full loaded, and is very responsive to fine tuning with the skeg, meaning that whatever the conditions, your not fighting the boat. Enough space for multiday trips, without being oversize for me.
3 mph says you are taking your time - which is good when there is so much to see around. An extra paddle is a great idea; but have you had any problems with the main one? How wet are you at the end of the day?
Hi, yea 3mph average isn't rushing, but were not trying to, as you say lots to see. Re spare paddle, its fairly standard procedure to carry one on such a trip, I've never needed it, but I have seen paddles get broken. The dry suits we wear keep us fairly dry, but just a touch damp from persperation
Thanks. Yes the Eskimo roll would still work with a fully loaded boat, but ive never had to do it.... yet🤣 check out part 2 video for the rest of the trip
@jamesbinns8528 Hi, yes you are correct, we would expect to roll back up if needed, also, we are up to speed with self rescue and assisted rescue techniques.
Hi, we always carry enough water for a few days and top up as needed from streams, its part of the planning process to identify water sources or lack of. Carrying four days water isnt a problem
Thank you, and yes I agree. Getting the balance right isn't easy, and it also sounds very different on different devices. This was an early effort with commentary, hopefully Im getting a bit better on more recent trip videos
Hi, they are both Northshore, now very similar called Northshore Voyager Evolution ( white one) and Northshore Atlantic Evolution (yellow one) ... but they are not quite as good imo since the legend Mike stopped making them!
@@getwet501 OK!! Who builds them now?? Valley?? I have a North Shore Ocean 17.6. Beautiful boat!! I just struggle getting in an out of it. 6.3 and long shanks vs shorter cockpit opening compared to my Atlantic RM
@@thomasjensen3214 Hi, yea its Valley making the evolution versions, which are slightly tweaked versions of the Northshore Ocean and Atlantic that Mike Nelson made. If you have a Ocean 17.6 Im fairly sure you will find the Evolution Voyager version slightly smaller fit. My Ocean ( the white decked boat) is the 17" size and I bought it off a mate who up sized to the 17"6 because he found mine tight. I believe the Evolution Voyager at 17"2 sized between the two in length and cockpit volume etc. Hope this helps
Thanks, yea I agree. Getting the balance right is tricky. Also, it sounds very different on different devices, which doesn't help! It's fine on my PC, but not on my phone
Thanks for the input, I do understand, indeed its hard to get it right for everyone. Heavy breathing picked up by the mouth mounted camera, a squeeky paddle noise (wet skin on the paddle shaft) and very boring conversations do detract from the natural sound and steer me towards adding some form of music
Please please cut the music. Would much prefer the natural sounds to enjoy the actual atmosphere of the area, hear the birds and water etc. Would mean we could also hear your voice better. Best wishes
@katiegalloway6751 thanks for your input. I agree the voice and music volume balance isn't so good on this one, though it depends on your device, it can sound fine on some devices but not on otheres, that's my excuse😅 and it was my first attempt with a voice over.. go pro volume is very variable, I think it gets water in the microphone affecting the quality, also using a mouth mount I can get heavy breathing recorded, which isn't good!!! So like it or not, some music is probably the best option, but I hope the balance in my more recent videos is better. Cheers
This is the type of content that youtube and social networks should promote.Very chill video,amazing scenery and good people.
Thank you very much 😁
Fantastic trip and video. Could you upload a video of the same trip without the music? I’d love to watch it with just the sounds of the natural world.
Thanks, a very polite way to say the music spoils it for you, it may not be that easy, but will look into it. Music is always a problem, perhaps better without if it doesn't grab you, i understand
