I would love the chance to sail them and take in the stunning beauty of the west of Scotland at a leisurely pace like you have. Interestingly, for all the seas and oceans I have sailed upon, the passage from Rosyth to Glen Mallan in Loch Long was the worst seas I ever encountered. Hurricane force 13 in the
    treacherous Pentland Firth with it's 16 knots tide is probably the only time I have ever been in fear of my life at sea.

Reckon that would suffice? The waters are calling! Ocean liners don't really count, although they provide a joy upon the seas....I'll settle for a catamaran with a gib and main........or, a kayak with a $17 sail. Or a seaplane rating.......my bucket list has done spilt! And "1984"....with George Orwell.....and we're sitting here watching this come into fruition....but just a retro thought to a 70 year old in November....Again, thank you! The music is always a plus!!! Mendelssohn! I've played a bunch of his piano works. Guess I should shut up until the end of this presentation? And, Behold! The beauty of His Creation! The shark, I thought, at first may be a whale shark, but clarified in your commentary. Basalt formations abundant in this video.... Shuddup, Sandy! Cash?
