I can’t believe how much I have become invested in your awesome channel. You guys have such an amazing way to keep us coming back for more videos. I so look forward to all of your new videos.
Riding the waves, hanging on to the dodger. I remember it well. The 360º cockpit dance checking the horizon for shipping. You make an old lady, too cronky now to sail, very happy.
Watching another video, as soon as Sailing Florence popped up, instantly I switched over. Love them so much it was an easy decision, best sailors on UA-cam. Go while the going is good, weather and tides must take priority. Thank you, Matt and Amy…from an old fan, retired in the US foothills of east Tennessee Smoky Mountains. P.S. ABSOLUTELY LOVE scallops!
Sorry about those breakages but oh what absolutely amazing sail south to the Isle of Man and that last beach in Scotland, both beautifully filmed and captured. Thank you for sharing such amazing places and journey!
We are never disappointed, as you sail towards the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, my disposition has accelerated past into my youth, having lobstered in these parts and experiencing a September blow. Love this channel, you both have outdistance the competition both in cinematography, sound and editing, utilizing as a unit of one both in projection and unity. Thank you both, your dear to our hearts!
You have the best photography technique. The story is great at the right pace. Love your music mix! Thanks for the balance between yourselves, it is refreshing that the story switches between you equally?
Well, that episode had personal resonance! You sailed past Whitehaven where my wife was born (she arrived in NZ on Anzac Day 1953 to find NZ shut!). One of my great grandfathers came from the Isle of Man - he emigrated to Paisley, Scotland, and thence to NZ arriving in 1860. He had one of the typical names from the Isle of Man, which suggests the family may have been there for some time, but I haven't been able to trace them beyond a further generation. One of NZ's favourite TV hosts, Pio Terei, made an episode or two on the Isle of Man, and went crazy over the seafood there, in particular the kippers from the place that you missed out on visiting... Sob. Apparently a taste treat. Thanks for another cracking episode.
I look forward to your sailing episodes. A fortnightly treat. Your sailing skills should be a lesson to other sailors and I am constantly impressed how you build in a margin of error. The quality of your presentation is superb. Thank you.
Thank you for showing your video on the top of scarp absolutely Beautiful. We spent many summers on the island but not fit enough to climb to the top, the small island in the foreground was where we cut peat for burning even in the month of June. Such good memories.
We’re travelling through India & have had trouble getting reliable WiFi. A few days in Visakhapatnam has fixed that & we’ve been on catch-up. Isle of Man is now on my sailing bucket list. Cheers for that. JohnL
Great show again . I enjoy how you are so relaxed when sailing . Other shows the second there is a ripple go into full panic ( or act like it ) Keep up the good work
Loving the circumnavigation of Great Britain ! I learn so much from your videos. I’ve been sailing the Great Lakes since 1974. Wish you could sail the North Channel, northern shore of Lake Huron. Most beautiful fresh water sailing in the world!
Absolutely beautiful to see the world that so many don’t know about, it’s breath taking bare naked Mother Earth, mostly all untouched ! To be able to see all this through your eyes & Adventures Is incredible Must Love you for this !!! I’m 76& landlocked in my home in my Lasychair looking out at beautiful snow drenched birch trees left to dream about the days when I could be out there, only wish I had your opportunities, you have experienced such amazing opportunities together Always love to look forward to seeing your travels! 🇨🇦Cdn. Dave 🇨🇦
As always a thoroughly professional and artistic small film. The only other sailing channel that comes close in photography, editing and content while telling a clearly defined story is Sailing Fair Isle and they are indeed true videographer professionals. Very nice people to spend time with. Well done you two!
No idea how you, Matt and Amy manage to make a living,while living all your subscribers dreams ? However, were so happy you're clearly thriving on way while making great films. Best wishes to both and so looking forward to a Christmas themed livaboard feasting season. With all the trimmings and xmas soundtrack too. Now,that'd be a real treat. Happy early Christmas chaps😊..
lovely to see familiar waters through your eyes. Looks like you stopped at Luing - that anchorage you showed in the drone shot is magic at a summer sunset.
You are at the top of our favourite shows to watch Some like Vagabond have dropped to the bottom and get allot of Fast Forward parts in it . Don't change a thing if you can .
my mother was stationed there during WW ll as a wireless operator in WAAF, thanks for showing a little of it, as I live in Canada, and doubt I'll ever be just popping over there....cheers
You are the only sailing channel that I've seen that has stopped at the Isle of Man. The crossing to Dublin is something I've been wanting to do but now that I'm seeing you 2 do it, I don't need to rush to do it myself. Thanks always for sharing.
Great video, I love downwind sailing it’s soo calm! Great to watch you guys, you are both complete sailors and able to stand watch solo, well done indeed!
The narrative between you two and F would work really well on terrestrial telly, it’s so pleasingly lovingly put together. Anyone out there in indie production land watching??
It really has been a quite horrendous summer season for your round Britain sailing trip, this year. I dont think you could have picked a worse year if you tried.! What it would have been like in your proposed northern latitudes exploration, you probably know better than me, but I do know that Greenland weather is very much under a Canadian "umbrella" and the Greenlandic videos which I've received this year, all show continental blue skies with strong sunshine (and that indeed was my personal experience in the past). So, let's look forward to your next year.!
The three-legged flag of the Isle of Man, also known as the "Three Legs of Mann," is a symbol representing the island's resilience and strength, with the three legs often interpreted as a representation of the sun, power, and life, potentially originating from ancient pagan beliefs; the design is called a triskelion and is thought to have been adopted from the Sicilian royal family due to historical connections with the Isle of Man's rulers. Thanks for sharing.
We’ve been following Matt & Amy on their travels around the world, for quite a while now and mostly love the content. We’ve recently been put off the episodes by too much National Geographic and the slow motion filming. Can you guys moderate the usage please.
A sill doesn't open or drop. A sill is a fixed structure, like at the bottom of a window. Peel has a gate. The gate opens and closes. Below the gate is the sill.
I have been watching you and Florence from the very beginning, Thanks to you both, I feel as if I had actually gone to some of those far off places. But I am throughly enjoying your sail around Britain. I was wondering if you had read the book "Coasting" by Jonathan Raban. He did a very similar Journey in the early eighties, I am re-reading him as I follow you r Journey. Thanks for so many beautiful Videos !
Shame about the views from Isle-of- -Man summit. However, I did it (many years ago) and I'd recommend doing the whole island by their unique railway systems. I can't remember the day I was up at the summit but I believe it's a unique experience being able to see both Ireland and the UK mainland.
I love the way you show each point of the passage. So many sailing channels, I think, have forgotten about what their vlog is all about, "SAILING". Also I don't know the proper name but have you ever thought about getting an automatic steer that you stick on the back. It looks like a wooden sail. Also love the music
This area is like past home to me, as my Viking forfathers controled these Islands. Some of my forfathers also controled Dublin....so I am basically a royality Ketill Björnsson (Ketill Flatnefur) was the son of Björn Grímsson. In the Laxdaela saga he is recorded as being from Romsdal (Raumsdal), a valley in the county of Møre og Romsdal, between Nordmøre and Sunnmøre and from Sogn in the Landnámabók. Most of Ketill's family eventually emigrated to Iceland. Ketill's wife was Yngvild Ketilsdóttir, daughter of Ketill Wether, a hersir from Ringerike. They had a number of children, including Bjǫrn Ketilsson, who lived at Bjarnarhofn; Helgi "Bjolan" Ketilsson, who lived at Esjuberg on Kjalarnes; Thorunn Ketilsdatter, wife of Helgi the Lean, the first settler in Eyjafjordur bay; and Jorunn Ketilsdatter. Ketill's daughter, Aud the Deep-Minded, married Olaf the White, King of Dublin. Their son, Thorstein the Red, briefly conquered much of northern Scotland during the 870s and 880s before he was killed in battle. Aud and many members of her clan settled in the Laxdael region of Iceland. So my family has live in same area ( Dalasýsla) in Iceland last 1100 years
My wife and I are sailors wish we were following in your wake It is winter and on the hard too cold to even work on it ( Canada) Well back in the water in 4 months. Move overnight and longer trips planned
Excellent product actually, just look at the large logos that fill the screen, compose these photos as you do your wildlife and landscape shots, we are watching details.
Thanks for another terrific video. You are both too busy sailing (and editing) to respond to a lot of silly comments but I'll ask anyway, just for fun...Who took the video of the train leaving the summit on the Isle of Man? Were you not left behind?
It's important NOT to use stainless bolts for the prop anode. The stainless will corode the zinc so fast it will fall of in a couple of weeks/months. Use regular galvanised bolts and they will last at least a year.
Marvellous, always top quality work - an absolute pleasure to watch. Out of interest, do you use paper charts as a backup at all? You've undertaken some challenging navigation so I wonder what your plan is if the electrics pack up at the wrong moment?
Presumably, like almost everyone, they have multiple stand-alone devices and back up power packs. Paper charts are no more than an historical interest. Even the custom bound Royal Navy no longer use them.
Great video! Just curious as to why we don’t see you using the wind vane when sailing? It appears like you prefer the autopilot. Can you explain why please?
Maybe they're back on the water. I'll tell you how they answered this earlier. Their solar is working well after the refit and inspite of the weather they have plenty of amp-hrs. Such short legs they prefer the auto pilot vs windvane. Motoring in and out of anchorages so often also adds amp-hrs via the alternator. 1hr of motoring provides elec for about 6hrs of cruising. They plan to use the windvane when they get back to more open water longer passages.
I can’t believe how much I have become invested in your awesome channel. You guys have such an amazing way to keep us coming back for more videos. I so look forward to all of your new videos.
Been quietly the best sailing channel for a long time now.
Loving this British Isles exploration.
The quality of your video presentation continues to amaze and entertain
Another stunner. You never fail to please, both sailors and non sailors like me.🎉
The best sailing vlog I have ever seen absolute art! Well done!
Hello from Peel, thanks for the nice words and excellent filming on The Island, I remember seeing Florence in the marina and a fine boat she is.
Said it before, say it again, best sailing channel on UA-cam, content, videography and tutoring - you provide it all. Safe travels and fair winds!!!
I really enjoyed all the controls going to night mode, and the music of course!
This is the best tripping channel on UA-cam-- by foot, bike, car, boat, or air.
Riding the waves, hanging on to the dodger. I remember it well. The 360º cockpit dance checking the horizon for shipping. You make an old lady, too cronky now to sail, very happy.
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Keep going!
It's hard to believe that so many great moments were packed into 30 odd minutes...insane. God bless you Amy and Matt, just incredible x🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Fantastic. I'm on North America and really appreciate your graphic charts illustrating the route.
You have the best photography technique. The story is great at the right pace. Love your music mix! Thanks for the balance between yourselves, it is refreshing that the story switches between you equally?
Thank you for bringing back childhood memory's of the Isle of Man.

Nice one Isle of Man great place to go back in time. Don’t forget to say hello to the fairies
Amy and Matt NEVER disappoint! 🐋 🐋
Pip is the greatest - keep going young lady. Melbourne is just round the corner.
Another excellent episode. You guys really should have your own show on television.
Thank you for showing your video on the top of scarp absolutely Beautiful. We spent many summers on the island but not fit enough to climb to the top, the small island in the foreground was where we cut peat for burning even in the month of June. Such good memories.
Gorgeous scenery, wonderful music, great editing! Your videos are a treat to watch! 😃
We’re travelling through India & have had trouble getting reliable WiFi. A few days in Visakhapatnam has fixed that & we’ve been on catch-up. Isle of Man is now on my sailing bucket list. Cheers for that.

Matt, Amy I know nothing of sailing but your content and cinematography are just fabulous. What an adventure! Paul
Thank you guys you have got to be one of the best UA-cam sailing channels that I watch do a great job thanks once again cheers Lindsay
Great show again . I enjoy how you are so relaxed when sailing . Other shows the second there is a ripple go into full panic ( or act like it )
Keep up the good work
Totally invested in your adventures as I have been from the very beginning. Wonderful journey and so inspiring. Thank you so much.
Loving the circumnavigation of Great Britain ! I learn so much from your videos. I’ve been sailing the Great Lakes since 1974. Wish you could sail the North Channel, northern shore of Lake Huron. Most beautiful fresh water sailing in the world!

Always love to look forward to seeing your travels!

Some like Vagabond have dropped to the bottom and get allot of Fast Forward parts in it . Don't change a thing if you can .
Love your shows. Been watching for years
my mother was stationed there during WW ll as a wireless operator in WAAF, thanks for showing a little of it, as I live in Canada, and doubt I'll ever be just popping over there....cheers
Wow…some stunning shots!
You are the only sailing channel that I've seen that has stopped at the Isle of Man. The crossing to Dublin is something I've been wanting to do but now that I'm seeing you 2 do it, I don't need to rush to do it myself. Thanks always for sharing.
Wow the Isle of Man is beautiful.
you are the best
Thanks again for sharing every time a joy to sail and travel with you 😅
Again great video in superb surroundings !!! Thnx guys!
Great video! I was sailing around Mull this October. Beautiful place.
Great video, I love downwind sailing it’s soo calm! Great to watch you guys, you are both complete sailors and able to stand watch solo, well done indeed!
Yahoo scoobydoo😊😊
Brilliant video.
Cheers

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
Glad you got to stop off at Ghiga. It's a total gem.
Very interesting video and the scenic views of your journey are absolutely brilliant. Looking forward to next video
The Best...❤
brilliant!
Of all the sailing channels out there, Amy is the toughest girl.
She’s a proper sailor and she takes the best wave videos. Amy ❤
The UK might be a small country but there is certainly a lot to see. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for these stunning Videos 😌
Thank you.
Another fantastic video! Thanks!

So, let's look forward to your next year.!
I wonder how those huge old viking ships dealt with winds and tides around the British Isles!
Brilliant episode well done. Loved it
The best sailing videos. Thank you.
Such a short choppy lady is the irish sea.
A couple of times a year at low water springs there are guided walks to the refuge in Douglas Harbour.
The three-legged flag of the Isle of Man, also known as the "Three Legs of Mann," is a symbol representing the island's resilience and strength, with the three legs often interpreted as a representation of the sun, power, and life, potentially originating from ancient pagan beliefs; the design is called a triskelion and is thought to have been adopted from the Sicilian royal family due to historical connections with the Isle of Man's rulers.

You two remain amazing.
Excellent as always
That was an awesome video thanks guys...
We’ve been following Matt & Amy on their travels around the world, for quite a while now and mostly love the content. We’ve recently been put off the episodes by too much National Geographic and the slow motion filming. Can you guys moderate the usage please.
Brilliant travelogue and camera work, we know it is late in the season, but telling us the date would add useful information
I have a kipper subscription...
A sill doesn't open or drop. A sill is a fixed structure, like at the bottom of a window. Peel has a gate. The gate opens and closes. Below the gate is the sill.
Matt, Get the adaptor from Darglow that allows you to put an M8 bolt through the centre of the anode. It will last much longer.
I have been watching you and Florence from the very beginning, Thanks to you both, I feel as if I had actually gone to some of those far off places. But I am throughly enjoying your sail around Britain. I was wondering if you had read the book "Coasting" by Jonathan Raban.

I see that furled jib at end of video.....
Shame about the views from Isle-of- -Man summit.
However, I did it (many years ago) and I'd recommend doing the whole island by their unique railway systems.
I can't remember the day I was up at the summit but I believe it's a unique experience being able to see both Ireland and the UK mainland.
How is the boat performing? Can you tell us more about how all the new systems and modifications are doing?
We are filming a review of all the new systems now we have tested them around Britain. We will release it at the end of the round Britain series.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to it.
Mull of Kintyre
Oh, mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre
I love the way you show each point of the passage. So many sailing channels, I think, have forgotten about what their vlog is all about, "SAILING". Also I don't know the proper name but have you ever thought about getting an automatic steer that you stick on the back. It looks like a wooden sail. Also love the music
they have one, the mounting bracket is in shot - I think there is a vid all about it much earlier in the series.
Excellent as always. You loose other sailing Chanel’s in your wake, pardon the pun.
This area is like past home to me, as my Viking forfathers controled these Islands. Some of my forfathers also controled Dublin....so I am basically a royality

In his most recent video Leo from Sampson boat co. also had to install a new prop shaft “annoid”
What a coincidence.
Excellent product actually, just look at the large logos that fill the screen, compose these photos as you do your wildlife and landscape shots, we are watching details.
Is that a crack in the ledge under your porthole? Great video
😎😎😎

We have paper planning charts in case it all goes wrong. Just enough to get back to a main port if we have to.
Great video! Just curious as to why we don’t see you using the wind vane when sailing? It appears like you prefer the autopilot. Can you explain why please?
Maybe they're back on the water. I'll tell you how they answered this earlier. Their solar is working well after the refit and inspite of the weather they have plenty of amp-hrs.

I'm wondering if you plan on making a hard dodger at some point in the future?
Good photography, lovely couple please dont become a walking advertisement for Gill
Whats wrong whit gill? You haw something better? Hard to not wear your sailinggear when you sail
25:42 Is it possible that the pay phone is still in service on the Isle of Man?
Have you considered Prop Speed for your propeller?
Another great video! Where do you get your music from?
hooksounds, the tracks are listed in the description
Everyone stops at Scilly, but no one ever seems to visit the Isles of Serious.
