No one does it better than the two of you on Florence. Absolutely breathtaking scenery, history, locals, and sailing. Thanks for sharing. 🍦
Always different, this is a channel I truly appreciate for many reasons.....professional quality on every level. I love the way you take care of Florence and she you. I alove that you didnt just put her away for another boat! I have seen sights with you guys that I would never have opportunity to see otherwise. Tho I was a sailor of sorts, my days are limited now by age and circumstance...I want you three to know how much what you share means to me...thank you! I AM GRATEFUL.
Thank you (again) for your unique sailing channel. It has a quality that none of the others quite match. And a special thanks to Amy for sharing her personal story of how she grew up loving sailing in that locale. Your parents gave you a gift of infinite value. I am writing this email from Ganges, Saltspring Island in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada where we are currently moored while on our summer cruise north from our home in Friday Harbor (in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, USA). Once again we are (loosely) following the track of Capt. George Vancouver north to the Inside Passage. Vancouver served with Capt. Cook of course, who also explored the North Pacific Coast. I grew up on Whidbey Island in Washington State, so your visit to Whitby near Amy's childhood home was very interesting. I'm looking forward to your adventure circumnavigating the UK and Irelandd, and your future northern adventures. Hopefully, at some point you will visit the North Pacific coast of North America. "Once you have been to Alaska, you never come all the way back."
Yup,t hese guys are on another level!
Lovely to get a wonderful glimpse of the British coastline and villages
Parents built the boats and sails.. now I see where both come from! Great upbringing.
Absolutely the best sailing channel! Sailing is a massive part of their DNA.
I can't explain it. Perhaps it's symbolic of a life well-lived. But in my younger years I found it deeply satisfying to plough through those wind and wave conditions in a sailboat. Thanks for filming it so well as to trigger fond memories.
Best sailing couple on UA-cam!
About time you married that lovely girl Matt ❤
Random thoughts while watching this episode:
Florence looks like a brand new boat
Wow those new windows
Amy should create a course to teach other sailing channels how to capture the sea state
What a cool childhood of Amy’s her parents sound amazing
Whitby is firmly on my must visit list for my next trip to uk (last one was 1997) still dreaming
How can it be this channel doesn’t have half a million subscribers thanks all you patrons for keeping them up and running for us
Totally agree, by far the best sailing channel on YT and I don't understand why subscriber numbers are many hundred K ,if not one million+. Someday ...
I'm so glad the refit schedule pushed you to this itinerary. This scale shakedown is so good for everything and for those of us not acquainted with the area, wonderful scenery. Congratulations and thank you!!
An incredible channel, wonderful childhood. Seems you were destined to sail the oceans
Well guys, that was a blast from the past. I'm Australian, I live in West Aus but I've been to England a few times, the last time, I travelled up that way I visited Whitby and loved it, and the Dales. That was a long time ago, early seventies and I'm getting on a bit now but still hanging in there, building my fifth boat, can't seem to help myself. So thanks for that. Stay salty and keep safe.
As I watched this video, I couldn't help but think of Susan and Eric Hiscock, comparing them to you and your voyages. I began reading the Hiscock's books in the early 70s and even to this day, I still own their books and occassionaly re-read them. It's definitely a different world today given modern GPS, satellite communications, radar, space-age sails and sailing equipment, and boat design and construction. In their own way, they were true adventurers but that takes nothing away from your accomplishments for which you are to be congratulated and admired. Thank for sharing your adventures.....at 71 years old in a way I live through you, continuing to singlehanded sail my 42' Beneteau along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Again, thank you.
Amy thanks for taking us on a brief visit to where your love of sailing first took hold. I'm really enjoying your trip around the UK.
Brilliant shots of the sea state at 21:00..........I love this channel
It’s great to see you two back out sailing! 🥂✔️⛵️🥂 … and the brief detour to Amy’s childhood home waters.
Excellent photography and content. Your love of sailing shines through in your vlogs. Proper sailing channel and I respect you both for it.
I have to say that your sang-froid when confronted by severe conditions at sea gives me so much confidence with my own, albeit single-handed sailing here in Asia .. the message you give out is have confidence in your skills and your boat .. there never seems to be any element of panic( well onscreen anyway) .. loving your trip round the UK, I have been an ex-pat for nearly 40 years and you are making me quite homesick …brilliant filming, narrative and music as always .. so many thanks !
Way down here in New Zealand I follow many channels from yachts to explorer m/v but from day one this has been my absolute favorite, Matt and Amy have a natural talent in narrating their vlogs and its been fantastic watching them grow over the yrs, keep up the great vlogs guys this 67yr old absolutely loves these
Lovely!
So good to see you sailing!🙏
Thank you for your wonderful vids.
I really love it when you guys show the actual sailing like at 5:30 mark. It's nice seeing real skill.
What a marvelous and adventurous childhood you had Amy. How very fortunate you are. ❤
Amy, thank you for the glimpse into your childhood. How special to see the place where dreams and passion were born. As someone who is old enough to be your parent I can say with certainty that your father (and mother) are so proud of you and the adult you have become. ❤
Lovely to see coast and villages of UK. Your photo grab of the misty surf near end of video is exquisite .. really professional photography. Fair winds and following seas ..
After all your tropical destinations I love to see you sail the waters I know so well myself. Including the ports and wind-against-tide. Fair winds to Florence!
A truly authentic couple and inspirational too (as compared to FAUX ATTICUS) 😂
Your videos are second to none and it’s great to have you sailing again. Florence is looking amazing and thanks for sharing Amy’s wonderful family insight.
Thank you for your superb videos. We always enjoy them
Brilliant cinematography in this episode!!
I follow 8 different sailing channels, y'alls is without a doubt a SAILING channel y'all are what sailing is about! Love it?
God Bless from Texas 🇺🇸❤️👌
Florence looks great under sail, even through the 'roughers'! What an awesome place to learn to sail, the North Sea and all its challenges.
Beautiful area to wait a couple of days for some favorite winds thanks for sharing I love this adventure
Your ability to navigate rough seas with determination and humor is truly impressive! You bring a sense of adventure and resilience to every sailing journey, turning challenges into stories of courage and perseverance. And I'm Floating Village Life.
This is beautifully made, thank you.
Super to watch your progress. Looking forward to the next.
I just love you!! Classic music is life! I can work better, think better, and be grateful for life
Looks amazing. I was in Bingley in 1992 and it was wonderful. Awesome food.
Gawd , the North Sea even in the finest 37 footer. Head south.
Thanks for showing the memorial to Captain Cook. Any sailor, regardless, would hold him in the highest esteem.
You are both wearing puffer jackets. Never had much time for them as Canadians ( or Canadiens) insisted that the stitching be staged for best insulation.
Thanks so much for your many beautiful videos.
My absolute favorite sailing channel!!
Not to be a fanboy 🥰 but visually the content and narration of your story are inspiring❤, ! wish you well.
Nuuttin wrong with being a fan boy.. lol. I'm a fan old lady and we recognize quality and class when we see it right? 😊
I love learning about and seeing the beautiful ports of England and the UK.
I am so grateful for you both and looking forward to following you on your adventures.
Possibly the greatest Love Story ever Told Told. Matt and Amy never being far apart.
Best Wishes from the Pacific Northwest USA.
cant wait to see more
Great work chaps
Florence looks sooo shiny.
This was quite a nostalgic video for me, as I left the Norfolk Coast (Sheringham where I was born), as a boy in 1958, but I can still vividly remember the coastal path, which my brother and I explored, the local ruined abbey and the 12th century church at Beeston. We used to climb Incleburgh, the highest point in Norfolk and look out to sea, I imagine that the view is full of windfarms now. I now live about as far away from there as I can get, in New Zealand, but of course we have the connection to Captain Cook, who actually named the area where I live. A great video for an old bloke to get sentimental over!
Thank you!!
Stay warm from Australia
Good to see you back sailing again
Another great video! It's nice to see Florence sailing again. Also it's good for you both to be enjoying your life and not doing major repairs and maintenance. But I know it's a continuous thing on a sailboat ⛵️. Safe travels from the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦
Great to see you 3 on the serious water again. Safe travels.
Thank you again, a wonderful showing of sailing around the UK. I've followed you around the world and you do a magnificent job of keeping interest and satisfaction.
Proper seaman and woman if your not bouncing around and loving it should not get a boat. Thank you for showing a great sail.
Your videography is always amazing! Love following you guys throughout your journey. Nunca olvides de donde eres. Good memories are always cherished.
Whitby looks Lovely. But I have to admit that the view of Florence going out through through breakwater at Lowestoft reminded me of an illustration from "Peter Duck" of the Wild cat leaving Lowestoft. It must be 50 years since i rad that.
Really looking forward to seeing all of these places through your eyes this season!
Thank you
So glad you're showing us this part of the world! Loving your channel more and more as time goes on!
Your country is so pretty, thanks for showing it and telling us a bit about it. And to think Captain Cook and his boat, there in a small village, then travelling the world etc. then you two, hundreds of years later.
Nice to see the old photos and the boats yer dad made.
Much appreciated ❤ cheers 🥂
GO!
I had the opportunity to visit the UK from the states about 25 years ago. We were in Wales and southern England. Had a wonderful time and met many very friendly people. I would love to visit the coastal areas if I get to come back and now Whitby is at the top of the list.
Excellent episode good music!
Great to see you sailing again.
Love the story and insight you give us on the UK coastal sailing.
Superb editing. So many cuts! You told a great story. Thank you.
Brilllllliant - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍
I think I'm going to really enjoy this trip around the UK. Nice.
Something new. Love it ❤. Dream away 🎉.
I love your videos, so well put together, never a dull moment, and I especially love how you show your sailing techniques with explanations. You are both truly genuine and your vlogs are a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to another season ❤
Amy thanks for sharing the origins of your love for sailing. Did you ever think you would sail around the world when you were learning to sail
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video well wnjoyed.
Glad to see you wearing tethered life vests. It is surprising how many sailors don't bother.
Terrific video.
By is village. So the -by in Whitby is Whit-village. No idea what the Whit bit might be. Maybe an Anglicisation of Vit, or White. So White Village.
Thanks for sharing that video. Beautiful scenery and naration
Nice work love it
Thanks for another outstanding episode. Your videography is the best!
I'm soooo jealous of your lifestyle. 😊👍
Nice episode
If this is any indication of what is to come then much to look forward to. Particularly enjoy the historical references. Well crafted video.
I love Whitby
Great video
Thank you for sharing about whitbey even in Australia the info about James cooks not taught in schools or wasn't in tasmania australia in the 70s n 80s when I was found that particularly interesting and I thought we should have been taught at school
Used to love going to whitby had some good times there
Like your video
Amy returns to Yorkshire. Welcome back from a Yorkshireman, in the Philippines .
Great video.
Love that new dramatic camera angle available to you out the leeward deadlight now that you have new ones. I have my new ones but am anxious to do the job so they remain packaged up while I stare through crushed ice. Seeing the benefits in yours provides me some motivation to move that up the list!!
The refurbed boat looks so good! Better than some brand new ones I've seen.
Excellent, great to see you both back out on the water, as a fellow yorky did my DS out of Hull in F1-F8 up to Scarborough.
Ha Ha !! Welcome to sailing around the UK ! We'll all be looking forward to your adventures tackling the tides of the western Isles in Autumn. :>) Great to have you back !!
Whitby is a very special place, ive been out sea fishing many many times as i live 90 mins away.
@2:08 that's a great shot. always love your videography..... and at 21:02 you did it again!
Love from Bruce and Darcy. Going to see Etna tomorrow 😮❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Been following Florence from the beginning. Live the technical details of sailing and life on board a yacht. Like your combined knowledge base. Love the fact you can keep your clothes on and still get your point across. So looking forward to this passage! Video seen 6/7/24 in Australia.
watching 5/7/24
scotland pish weather too..
great watch..👍
Lovely sequence from several cameras, well-cut and edited, recording putting the third reef in the main, at about 5:30 - 7:00. Even a lubber like me could see what yoiu were doing, and why.
