Sorry to hear about your son Joel, it's very sad
Good tribute guys. Having cancer has taught me to live life while you have it. I'm in the process of looking at a small 25ft yacht and learning to sail her as I want to do something that I have been wanting to do since I had been on a comp crew course back in 1996.
Thanks HG. Where are you planning to restart your sailing adventures?
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I am looking at mooring her in Portsmouth on a swing mooring. Its the cheapest that I could fined (£600 for the year).
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches The reason for their is I live near Stonehenge and it is as I said cheap as well as easy to get to. I have to get it their first as the boat that I am looking at is in Plymouth. Trial by fire so to speak.
I have done a comp crew cse as well as an RYA level 2 powerboat and windsurfing cse while in the Army, so I do know the basics of sail and power.
I wasn’t strong enough to get through this video in a public environment. So much admiration and love for you both and for the whole Oliver family. It was obvious, even from the little interaction I had with Joel, he was an incredible man!
Beautiful tribute and I’m so sorry for your loss way too young. Not many families not touched by cancer in some way, myself included but it doesn’t make it any easier to cope with. I was at Haslar and on the ship this past weekend. Bit of a lumpy sail there from Chichester and I was moored right down the end of the visitors on one of the fingers. Needless to say I was wetting myself with dread at having to try and reverse my Rival all the way back to the entrance. Not enough room to turn and a very strong SW wind pushing me. Untied and gave it full welly and after a bit of zigzagging I got some steerage and made it out without bashing into anything. Lightship is very nice. Best wishes. Andy UK
Sad to hear about your loss dave, you are two great characters, make my day , favourite channel
all the best to you
Heart broken for you and your families. Unimaginable. Vaya con dios, Joel. Look up my brother Hunter. He has some great stories. And yes, they're all true.
Hi guys ...you've been missed so sorry for your loss ...On one hand I'm laughing so hard about his mid ship failure.. then crying for your loss.. Happy xmas Guys ...
Yeah that day kind of did that to us too. Thanks for your kind words Mr. G.
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I’ve just watch about 6 hours non stop of your vids .. Crack me up ..Mr clean always has a cup of tea in his hand .. keep going guys ..
@@MrGingercock what a sad life you lead Mr G. 6 hours you’ll never get back.
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I enjoyed it .. thanks
Good to have you two back, and thank you for sharing your stories. Can I say how refreshing it is to hear mature men speak so candidly, and emotionally from the heart about something that will affect us all in some way during our lifetimes. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words Greg. Your point is well made, it affects us all. Regards.
Great to see you back, your videos have been missed. So sorry for your loss. I take my hat off to you for sharing your painful journey with us on your channel. Shared some tears for you. Your son was lucky to have such a loving family.
Thanks for the kind words.
Good morning, I am new to your channel and am enjoying every second as we all sit in covid lockdown.
I am so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing this with us .
It really puts everything into some perspective in these very odd times .
Kind regards to you both and your families .
Russ
Thank you Russ. Appreciate your comments. Stay safe in these days. Dave and Dave.
it's great having you back guys, what a great and emotional tribute to your son! He really sounds like an amazing person and I'm sorry for your loss.
Thanks Ben, Dave will tell you he was a remarkable son. The family are left with a wealth of memories to get them through the tough times. Cheers.
Am sorry for your loss. It was good, however, to ‘bump’ into you at Beaulieu Marina at the start of this month, and thank you for your videos, but obviously without any knowledge of the pain you have recently been through. Best wishes.
Thankyou Kevin, It was nice to meet you and thanks for your kind words. I hope you enjoyed your stop at Bucklers Hard
Great to see the double act back.👍
Enjoyed the humour and interplay fantastic stuff.
A great tribute to your son, who could fail to be moved by your story and well done for keeping it together for you recent and truly tragic loss.
Hi again Norman, hope all is well with you. Thanks for your kind words.
I can only mirror what others have said. I really enjoy your films, I'm glad you can use the channel to speak openly about your personal affairs (warp and all). I hope you can continue to use this channel to bring others happiness. As a young father of one, and one on the way I can't imagine life with out my children, you've make me cry. Thank you
Thanks for your kind words Thomas. Sorry to make you cry :), though maybe that's not a bad thing from time to time. Warmest.
Thank you David's for sharing your lives with us........ Very funny , very moving, very brave to let's all know the devastating news...... I for one shed a tear (or several!) During this episode. Jack...
Nice to hear from you again Jack and thanks for your warm words.
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches no promises but I'm trying to get my Trintella down to your stomping grounds this summer...... but like more things in life, living gets in the way! Keep up the great vids, always a treat to view guys...... 👍
Jack Gates let us know if you do. You can join us for lunch, we would love to see the god looking boat if yours.
That was a tough one to watch, and I can't imagine how tough it was to record. And I think you both did Joel proud by talking in such a heart-warming and genuine way. Grief and loss is something that affects all of us at some point - and we really don't talk about it with each other as openly and honestly as we should. I am sure that you have helped a lot of people with your open and honest approach.
And talking of being open and honest. Not tying at least one end of a mooring line to the boat... Really? Oh well, I guess it is a lesson learnt. I have one of those pull-down emergency ladders attached to the toe rail on the starboard side because I know I couldn't pull myself back up. I now think I must get another for the port side.
It's nice to have the both of you back.
Thanks for the comments JAS, appreciated. What are you doing commenting on youtube when you should be getting that boat of yours on the water. Looking forward to seeing the maiden sail of the newly fitted vessel.
On the water - after all the careful work I've been doing? It might get wet!
Ha ha!
Sorry to hear about your son...
Thanks Szymon
So sorry for your loss! Great to see you lads back out and doing your great videos, need to get my boat out more this year and your always inspiring! Good to see two genuine blokes out having fun, keep up the good work 😊
Thanks Phil. As you say, get out more this year. Where do you sail?
@@LeeShoresLazyJacksandLunches I'm one of those power boaters! Only have a 6m cuddy bayliner but do get out in the solent never been out for lunch etc so great to see you lads working out the best places! Also take it down to Devon with the kids in the summer, do love the sea! Just need to get more confident doing exactly what you do! Hence watching your vids, Sure will get there 😉
Power boating is great Phil. Any boat that gets people out on the water is great. I owned a Bayliner myself once. Get out there often and stretch yourself a little every time and you will find the confidence builds with inevitability.
Oh goodness they’re back again! 🤣
Joel would have loved to be in a video he’d have been a real prankster!
I have very fond memories of a sailing trip with him and Daisy too 💕🌸 think of him all the time.
Looked like a good lunch spot that you two!
Dad how come when I go sailing I just get a bowl of soup on board?!!!!
Good point Chez. If it wasn't for me finding all these nice venues that is all I would ever get to eat.
wow .. so awesome .. i just found yr channel ! Why i havent seen you on soSAILize ( . net ) ? many sailing bloggers on there :)
Welcome aboard SF. We will check out Sosailize. Not easy for a couple of old crocs like us to stay on top of all this social media stuff. :)
