Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- This is the final episode in this series. I leave Loch Sunart and travel to Lismore to spend my last night on the multi day adventure in the same place I started using the inflatable boat Cabin Cruiser several months earlier. I then head for home in a Force 5 Sea ..just to keep me on my toes
Stunning as usual Donny. You are so lucky with the weather. Flat calm a lot of the time. The otters were something else. Fabulous. I have seen wild life photographers waiting for days to capture what you have there. These films brighten my day and make me want to jump in the car and bask in the beautiful surroundings of Scotland…..next year now!
Thank you so much.
Best wishes
David
Yup..the otters were a special treat..I was with the half an hour and eventually had to leave but could have easily stayed. Hopefully I will see them again in the spring as I will visit again 😀
Lucky little otters, having uncle donny babysitting. Great video
The otters were lucky Rich ..but I might have upset the eagles .. and they are as fascinating to watch too 😀
Fantastic Donny ,I've loved everyone of these videos..... We have walked and enjoyed Lismore so many times over the years , thank you so much for sharing your adventures...... Looking forward to more of your work Donny , I'm off for a wee dram to calm down
Ahh..yes Im very partial to Lismore Paul and when I was younger used to go there sometimes to maintain the telephone lines so have lots of nice memories .. Jura is now on line..so have another wee dram and enjoy..I can recommend Jura whisky too 😀
@@donnywilcox I love a wee dram Donny not to mention the Gravy.....lol
I wish Scotland was blessed in sunshine like you most of your productions Donny, But then it would be spoilt by too many outsiders 😂 if the rain and wind didn't put us in our place. Your expeditions are a dream to watch and give so much passion for us all to explore 10/10
Thanks Supertramp..I know what you mean about the weather ..but I look on the sunny side of it..its often the mist clearing or rolling about our hills that make those special views .. I just dress for the rain..however the ticks and midges..well I cant see any sunny side to them 😀
Thanks for sharing these magic otter moments! A bit of a flashback, reliving my own tours on loch Sunnart etc, most enjoyable and relaxing. Thanks Donny.
.
Glad you had a good visit Erik..it was unfortunate the weather was so poor when you were here..fingers crossed it better next time you visit 😀
Well I’ve waited till the end of your 4 part adventure to comment. What a stunning trip and how great it must of been to get a great weather window after such a fickle summer. Thanks for making my evenings so entertaining 👏👏👏⚓️
Alway happy to hear a happy viewer 123boat .. summer is now a distant memory..September was ok..and been some nice days up the loch lately ..I just dress for the cold now 😀
Yet another stunning video, Donny! The otters at play fascinated me and the youngest members of my famil;y, and the drone footage showcased the beauty of this area. Your soundtrack was spot-on too, as always. I don't think you realise how much joy you bring with your videos! Thank you again!
Thanks colin .. the new series going round Jura has now started..enjoy the music in it too..you might need to turn the volume of my drunken viking choir down near the end though as UA-cam seems to have boosted the volume of it when processing the video 😀
@@donnywilcox Thanks Donny! I just saw the new video has dropped and will be watching it this evening as I consume my dinner of pink fish!
Great video, really enjoying the series. What a great moment watching the otters play.
Yup..I appreciate how lucky I was to get some time with the otters Fourpads .. especially seeing the two youngsters playin and mobbing mum. Mother kept a very close watch on me ..but must have know I wasnt a threat to her kits so tolerated it
Such a beautiful coast and nobody around, the boat is a game changer and a fantastic idea.pleasure to watch as usual
Thanks again Harry ..yup..the boat and its tent saved me from the dreaded tick bites so I will be using it again next year 😀
Fabulous video of the otters Donny and great coverage of the north end of Lismore. Thanks again, Bob
Yup..I was very lucky getting to see the otters bob..and I always enjoy a visit to Lismore 😀
Wow again. Well done Donny. Another fantastic video. I know I will be watching this video again like I do with all of your videos. My wife and I love your channel. Thanks Steve 👍

I imagine there are zero regrets for moving to your new home Donny. You are so, so in tune with the place. Loving your videeos mate,
Thanks mrymrymry .. I have the Covid lockdowns to thank for me moving out the city ..so some good comes from everything. I still cant believe I have not had Covid yet..or if I did..I never noticed it. All the active outdoor living help in that respect though 😀
Thanks for posting Donny, lovely end to a great adventure
Another adventure just begun today ian..enjoy it too 😀
Another great video Donny Thanks
Thanks Simon..much appreciated ..check out the latest upload when you get some time.. Round Jura ..another great adventure I had 😀
Alright Donny....i took a walk into Rahoy estates a couple o month back...around that small loch Teacuis you were in...seen a lovely otter in there fishing the shore line as tide came in...watched the otter for around 5 mins before it got wind of me...then it disapeared under the water...lovely little loch. Great viewing as usual Donny...nice 1.
I love at area too Kevin..especially the scenic narrows heading into loch Teacuis from sunart ..will be next year before I get back there though..enjoy the latest upload.. Loch Sween in part 2 ... when I get into it..is a lovely loch too
Thanks for this wonderful series, Donny!
Thanks again Captain..new adventure starting today ..so check it out when you get time..its another multi day one so will lead up to Xmas nicely 😀
Donny- I can’t wait 👍😃
Hi Donny enjoying your videos Immensely, with your small boat - seems a grand boat.
Thanks john ..yup..I love the freedom I get from smaller boats..come winter they are in my back yard so no storms or marina fees to worry about. I still use the smallest one and good days during winter too ..thanks for commenting 😀
Brilliant Donny, I loved especially how you managed the wind and how rough the sea looked because I would of been terrified but I remember the last time I saw you that you told me to get out there and experience the ride or I will never learn. I am not that sure if I could of left watching the otter's play I loved how much they touch each other and put their head resting against each other . Thanks for doing the video loved all of it and learnt from it. Ray K UK YNWA.
That was a special treat for me Ray ..the two youngsters playing while mom kept a careful eye on me. Its very quiet down the pier just now .. though there have been some nice days up the loch in my wee boat 😀Catch you next time around
@@donnywilcox Its 4am could not sleep. I lost another Mini 4 pro in the Loch, Peple told me there was a Submarine in the Loch at the time and gives off signals to bring drones around them down lol. Don't believe a word of it but I have care fresh. No sign of my drone in the post worried if they sent it to Grahams grocers so I got in touch yesterday it's been 2 months. Looking for a reply and saw your email. Thank you for the reply. I am sure we will bump into each other a gain come May till October. Keep up the good or great work. love them all. My favorite is still the fossil tree at Mull.
You might have saved the best till last here……It always amazes me how the sea state can change so quickly, shame about the fishing but we can’t have it all 😊 looking forward to your next adventures
New adventure started already Libertas..its another Mult day one so will lead up to Xmas nicely.. thanks again for commenting :-D
Great images Donny, especially those otter scenes, very well done with that one. Perhaps a goretex bivvi bag might protect your sleeping bag from condensation,my dutch army hooped bivvi works very well indeed.
Might I suggest turning the frying pan/lid the other way up to prevent the stove slipping off? If you need a ring turned to place it in, just let me know. Thanks for posting.
Hope you and Doug survived your camp the other night Ashley..I did think of you out there as it must have been the coldest night this year .. I was nice and toasty in front of the wood burner 😀
Donny! You're a "low-key bad-ass" ....a gentleman, who can hold his own in the physical realm of things... Don't let guard down, would be a blue bird day I imagine, when a mistake might be made...talking to myself now, @ anchor in Alaska.
Hey ..hello Alaska ... It must be cold up your neck of the woods just now ? Its been bitter down here this past week..anyhoo thanks for dropping in ryder ..appreciated 😀
superb Donnie 😊
Thanks ricky ..much appreciated 😀
Magic stuff!
Thanks HamHam..much appreciate 😀
Let’s go!
Hope all is well in your land OYZ ..good to hear from you too and I wish you well on your adventures too 😀
Details on your boat tent please mate
Hi aaron ..its a home made job ..but I intend making a video of its construction so others can try making one..its not hard to make and worked well . It will be published around the start of January if things go to plan. 😀
@donnywilcox thank you 😊 keep them videos coming love them
you could read children's books with that accent
You mean I could be another Ringo Starr GSXR1300 ? ..I play drums as well.. but probably as poorly as my music in the video.. so will never be as famous as the ex beatles though ..thanks for commenting 😀
