They cost a fortune to maintain. They aren’t much fun when the weather is poor. BUT, when the weather is decent and you can get out and play it’s all worth it! Brilliant to see you enjoying SB2!
Marvellous - When I started watching with my Wife 3 years ago, we thought it was all very aesthetically pleasing and plush with all these amazing boats, but more importantly we have grown to enjoy your trips for the journeys of the soul! We have two choices - keep watching you enjoying yourself or secondly get a boat ourselves (One day!!🤔) !!! Thanks for all your insights into a world we may never have considered 5 years ago Nick! All the best and thanks for great video 👍 Thanks to Gregg and his partner too, as the three camerapersons adds to our involvement 😎 HAPPY DAYS! ☀🐬🚤
I don't think I've ever enjoyed myself on the water so much whilst being on land! I felt as though I was right there with you all the way 😃 What an absolutely blissful journey Nick, thanks so much for taking us along! Also massive respect for your excellent taste in music 😁 I was thinking as you were pointing out different boats along the way, about how bad I am at recognising builders/models of boats, and I wondered if you might one day be able to make a video on how you identify different boats. As a pilot I was taught with aircraft recognition to use things like placement of engines, position of wings and shape of fuselage etc to help differentiate aircraft from one another. I assume it's a similar thing with boats but wonder what the telltale features of a princess/sunseeker etc are. I appreciate it's outside of your format, but even if you could include little informative bits in your future videos about typical hallmarks of boat builders I'd be very grateful, considering your expertise in the field. As always I just love your content Nick, you're my absolute (pardon the pun) favourite UA-cam channel. Thanks for your marvellous videos and I'll look forward to catching you on another one again real soon 😃
Ah Nick you posted this up when we were taking our first proper trip out on our new to us boat, an 80km trip along the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, from Kerkhoven to Maasmechlen with the yacht club, 10 boats leaving at various days and times heading east and south. Ours was the oldest boat, a Placom 750, she is 45 years old, and we were last to leave. At a fairly steady 8km/h sog it took us 10 hours of sailing and an overnight stop in Bocholt, then 2 nights in Maasmechlen with BBQ etc and great company, then 2 days traveling back the 80km to Kerkhoven on the Kanal naar Beverlo. Only decision made over the extended weekend was that we want a bigger boat :) Great to see you out and enjoying yourself again Nick. Tomorrow, another day out and a tapas somewhere along the canal side now praying for some better weather.
Just what we need after a crap week get home 55 inch tv cup coffee and biscuits nick Burnham smugglers and dreams making memories enjoying life to the full you are living the dream nick and for us who don't have a boat we are totally enjoying your dream big thank you just what I needed ps loving the new sound system looking forward to the next one
Great video as always Nick, so glad you and greg can now play together in nearly equal machinery 👍I know that the D4 engine in Smugglers is newer. more fuel efficient and you get EDC but i have to say that turbo and supercharged straight 6 in Dreams sounds glorious. Thank you to you, Greg and Sally for bringing us along on your trips. hope you enjoy a season of calm seas and warm breeze.
I just love the enthusiasm. As you said boat size cost etc means nothing it seems the water has an effect of making everyone equal in their enjoyment of the day. Thanks
I think I speak for many of us when I say how much we enjoy coming with you on your adventures. It is the closest we are ever likely to get to actually taking to the sea and the way you draw us into your world is magical. A great day much enjoyed. Thank you sincerely for sharing it with us.
Hi , I know how you feel the first good trip of the season , lets us all hope the wind keeps down and the sun stays out . Enjoy the season have fun and do not count the cost until the end , happy days . 😉👍👍💅to all for the day out . Keep them coming Nick and fun is just over the horizon .
Couple of English lads out tooling along, boat slicing thru the water, wind in the hair but I was surprised you weren’t blasting Mick and the Stones wailing to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”. I’d save the oldies classics for the way home. But you had a good run and you clearly enjoyed every minute of it.
Really enjoyable video Nick. Great footage taken by both Skippers and First mate. I had the absolute same feeling with my boat on her first trip out this year. All the hard work in the yard anti fouling, polishing, servicing my outboard pays off when you open her up and have the wind in your face! Thanks for the trip out. 👍🏻👏👌
A lovely bit of escapism and genuine envy on a Monday, for those of us without a boat (even if only at present). What a way to while away a day (for you) and an hour or so for us, to join you. Thank you.
With Maggie resting by his side Surely nothing could go wrong I love the music that Nick plays But wish he wouldn't sing along He's easy like a Sunday morning Each and every day of the week A blessed life he has got The same that all us doth seek Yes, I'm Holding Back The Years To give me time to cruise the sea I would have gone aship with him But he forgot to invite me Some day I'll get to my heavenly berth And get to sail Paradise sea Nick and Maggie can come along They're always welcome to sail with me
Great to see you out and about again in smugglers. I think a few people have said this but seeing g you out on the water and living by the coast makes me very envious. Have a great weekend Nick. K
What a nice video, Nick! I am at my office in Argentina and cannot concentrate to get into my work for watching it! Very glad to see you back in the water and enjoying the Smugglers once again!
What a spectacular day you had! Seeing Brixham and Torquay built up around their harbours reminded me of my visit to Bournemouth several years ago, and then I checked the map and realized that it's just a little further around the coast from where you were. And cheers on your choice of music - my playlist would have been very similar on a day like that. 🥂
Reminds me of my friend and I on lake Michigan cruising around and venturing up the Milwaukee river to the pub! I know that feeling Nick top of the world!!!
That was stunning , what a lovely part of the world and how nice was the weather , even the music sounded like it was lifted off my music library , truly exceptional, many thanks for sharing it , you are a lucky man indeed
Hello Nick. I’ve not commented before but, after watching this video of your wonderful day out on the water, I just wanted to say thank you. I felt as though I were there on the Smugglers with you. Your joy at being on the water is infectious. I’m sure I was bouncing up and down in my seat as you planed across the waves. 🤣 Thank you so much. I look forward to more of your marvellous tours and days out. Have a wonderful season and take the greatest care. Stan 😀🤓
Absolutely brilliant video Nick, in my opinion one of the best you have done. So relaxing to watch, I'll be waching it again many times. I've been following you since you started, this year I will be launching my boat for the first time (1990 bayliner 2556 which I have done a lot of work on over the year) and will be looking forward to having her on her Hamble mooring and expoloring the Solent. Thanks for what you do!
Great to see you out on the water again and I'm thoroughly enjoying your vlogs. As a small boy - 70 odd years ago - I remember the upper chain ferry as paddle driven and an exciting thing for a child to see!! Keep up the great work please!
Love these video’s, Nick! Your passion shows thru so clearly. I am also always amazed at the beauty of your country! Thanks for sharing a have a great weekend!
I've watched plenty of your videos, but this one compelled me to leave my first comment. It's such a wonderfully wholesome video-I absolutely loved it!
Glad to see you in your element, back on the water where you belong. Very uplifting to see you so happy, Nick, and so well deserved what with the enormous amount of work you do to bring us such enjoyment and to enable yourself to snatch a few moments of pure joy. Good on you mate and thanks for taking us along with you. All the best
Loving this video Took my boat down to the club for the season after taking a few days off work. Just getting ready to launch and noted the steering was not working, so trip over before it even started I then watched all the other boats launch So nice to live the experience through your video Welcome back
It’s always good to see a grown man enjoying himself like a child! Your joy came across and was infectious, thank-you
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Only Nick can truly create an "onboard with him" experience for us followers.
Well yeah,because otherwise it’d be an “onboard with somebody else” experience!
@@K1lostream Kidneys, eh?
@@Coowallsky I wouldn’t be without’em.
They cost a fortune to maintain.
They aren’t much fun when the weather is poor.
BUT, when the weather is decent and you can get out and play it’s all worth it!
Brilliant to see you enjoying SB2!
Of all of your videos its these that make me the most envious, your own boat, great weather, friends and cruising around, bliss.

Great to hear that you're enjoying them, and there is an Option Three - do both! 😃
Good food, good seas, good company.....the perfect trifecta !
Nearly at half a million, Nick. Thanks for the ride.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

A great day on the water. The boat goes well. Thanks for taking us for a spin. 🇦🇺 😊
My pleasure!
So too does Greg’s now.
Very well matched boats.
Great footage provided by both Captains
Spring is here! Great video Nick! Thanks for dispelling the rumor that all Brits have singing talent...😂🤣
No worries! 😄
Thank you for sharing the trip with us, Nick. I am looking forward to many more SB2 trips this summer.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Really enjoyed this session of you and friends spending the day on the sea. Really great. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
A bit of Nick on Smugglers blues 2 ,what more can we ask of for on a Friday afternoon , perfect 🙂
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
What an idyllic way to ease into a weekend!!!! Thank you muchly!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Probably the best video I have seen showing the the beauty and enjoyment of yachting
You're very kind 🙂
″Thusly″ LOL
What a gorgeous village. Almost like a CG movie scene.
A lovely day on the water.
What a day you had! Slightly envious 😊
Loved this video. Have a wonderful weekend. Happy Mothers Day, Nick!

Thank you for sharing this Nick! It was a nice distraction with such beautiful scenery!! Please post more of these! ❤
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
I just love the enthusiasm. As you said boat size cost etc means nothing it seems the water has an effect of making everyone equal in their enjoyment of the day. Thanks
All good stuff. Thanks Nick. The cruise ship. It looked like a ship. Not like the Bennidorm on barges.
Love Dartmouth and the Dart
Grand Video Nick ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Love your playlist Nick. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
Thank you for the joy you bring to me with your videos… absolutely fantastic 👍🙏
You're very welcome! 😃
Brilliant as always Nick. Really enjoyed seeing you happy and the fun you had. Thx for sharing this with us. 😊
My pleasure!
The audio system sounds fantastic, so is your taste in music. I would love to hear it again.
More please! 👍 That was fantastic Nick. 🤗 🍷 Many thanks!
You're so welcome! 😃
Man and boy on the water love that! A true yachtsman that Nick!!
⚓️⚓️
Hard stuff first couple of trips on your own Nick but thanks for bringing us virtual sailors along, boat looks so comfortable in those conditions ❤
Great to see you all enjoying yourselves, great day out :)

The UK is truly awesome. Those who have the ability to own boats of any size are blessed.
We agree!
Cheers Nick! Life’s short, anchors up! The that Bruce Hornsby you!!
Hi , I know how you feel the first good trip of the season , lets us all hope the wind keeps down and the sun stays out . Enjoy the season have fun and do not count the cost until the end , happy days . 😉👍👍💅to all for the day out . Keep them coming Nick and fun is just over the horizon .

Have so many great emeries of Dartmouth boating and mucking about on the water. Its a special place

Fabulous day out today, watched with a beer in hand.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Hi Nick thanks for taking us along your get away it was wonderful, have a great evening Nick
Thanks, you too!
What a great day on the water Nick! Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Back to an Old Skool video, and I love it. Fantastic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
let this be a boaty year!!!
That looked a fab day out on the water but with regards to the singing 'don't give up the day job Nick'🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠
😄
Your tour videos make me think 'that's a cool boat', these types of videos make me think that I should really get (aspire for!?) a boat!!!
Go for it!!
Very nice to see you enjoying yourself Nick
Fabulous Nick, was looking forward to watching this. Another excellent start to the season xx
Thanks so much!
Great sound from your Fusion system, even better boating 😂😂
Great to see you with the classic boaters smile 🤩
Great playlist Nick
Thanks for taking us with you Nick! Fond memories of my misspent youth ahhh!
My pleasure!

With Maggie resting by his side
Surely nothing could go wrong
I love the music that Nick plays
But wish he wouldn't sing along
He's easy like a Sunday morning
Each and every day of the week
A blessed life he has got
The same that all us doth seek
Yes, I'm Holding Back The Years
To give me time to cruise the sea
I would have gone aship with him
But he forgot to invite me
Some day I'll get to my heavenly berth
And get to sail Paradise sea
Nick and Maggie can come along
They're always welcome to sail with me
This is fantastic! Deserves a wider audience! 😄
Great trip Nick. Great playlist. Haven’t heard Supertramp, or Marc Cohen in a while. Love “Walking in Memphis”.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Great to see you out and about again in smugglers. I think a few people have said this but seeing g you out on the water and living by the coast makes me very envious. Have a great weekend Nick. K
Thank you, you too! 🙂
Hi nick. What a lovely video to start the season off to. More please.
I'm sure that was the Faith no more version of Easy.
Nic is truly a man of taste!
What a nice video, Nick! I am at my office in Argentina and cannot concentrate to get into my work for watching it! Very glad to see you back in the water and enjoying the Smugglers once again!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

Took my boat down to the club for the season after taking a few days off work. Just getting ready to launch and noted the steering was not working, so trip over before it even started
I then watched all the other boats launch
So nice to live the experience through your video
Welcome back
Regarding your singing I wouldn't give up your day job just yet.
Another cracking video and you have me thinking about taking the plunge again.
