Never mind UA-cam and us, LOOK AFTER YOURSELF and the little Matelot!! You and the little deck scrubber are ALL that matter just now, EVERYTHING ELSE can wait! Looking forward to the day we can watch you sailing on a warm sunny day without 25 layers of clothing! That's another similarity between Sailing and Motorcycling! I will still sign off with Take Care although it must be the most unnecessary comment ever!! Best Wishes!
You are all in my prayers especially Melissa and baby. As a father myself l know how it can be an extremely worrying time for us men. Just watching it all go on and not be able to really help in any way, in fact l felt more in the way then anything. It may be different for you with your medical training, I hope so God look after all of you, love Cliff.
Continued blessings for you and yours and the New Life about to join you face to face! Lots of Love for your Family. Nice that your Shake down went very well and your new boat is serving you well!
I recognise your old instructor, he's still part of the sailing club in Pwhelli. Kept my yacht there from 2019 to 2022. Had to sell it as the English were not allowed into Wales! Bloody Covid. All the best with the imminent crew arrival
Sweet sail thru to Pwlheli, and did so much enjoy your chit-chat from your youth...and you seem to have been a good scholar..well done to you, the crew, and family. Cheers till next time.👍
Thanks for the mention and definitely watch for the gusts 👍 In our opinion, XC is the least useful or reliable of the weather apps. Windy _does_ have a "Gust mode" but it is easily missed and in Predictwind, the gust mode is only available if you use a paid version. Having said that, if you want to be a more cautious sailor then use PredictWind. Even a F3 looks scary in their colour scheme and the colouring of F6 is the stuff of nightmares 🤣 BTW - nice sailing 👍
Any day on the water is better that anything else! Fingers crossed for Melissa . FYI back in 1978 I was a young guy working in the old Tyler fiberglass yard. ( they built your bowman hull). The boat was in for a rudder enlargement . I don’t think this was a standard improvement but this owner thought it was worth it. I only mention it as you noted it was a bit squirmy in a quartering sea. Prehaps your owners group might have heard of this? Not suggesting you do anything but food for thought. Cheers Warren
Good luck Melissa. I had my twins at 35 weeks. They had twin to twin transfusion. Both went to baby special care with this and that. Both are adults now. Very healthy strapping lads. Good luck.
Nice trip guys, Ocean Melody sure looks good on the water under sail or motor. I bet you are so pleased to get the boat closer to home and now you all need to just look after Melissa and sending best wishes for the birth. Cheers. Andy UK
Loved the video lovely to see you Melissa and wish you well and the baby in the couple of weeks ocean melody is a real flyer the superbike of the ocean you had a good crew to get her back home stay safe
Wonderful, reminds me of glorious times when we took delivery of our Bowman 46 centre cockpit from Emsworth Marine. Sea trials to Cherbourg nearly ended in disaster but subsequently spent fantastic times cruising the Canaries and Med. Good luck & bon voyages.
@@SailingMelody A timeless classic Holman & Pie, quick too. After much cruising eventually replaced it with an Oyster 55. would do it all over again in a heartbeat, enjoy.
Thank you for an interesting chapter of a very early sailing season. I wish you luck with the new member of the family. You were lucky to get such a good new boat but I never understood how you came across her. May be because bad English understanding. Anyway, I am already waiting for the next chapter. Thank you.
I lived n Flintshire for a few years and had lovely holidays in Pwllheli. Now living in Australia. Love following your journey, alas, I’m not a good enough sailor for blue water.
Great sailing into your nostalgic marina. Lovely, if uneventful trip. Just what you really want. All the very best to Melissa and baby. Fingers crossed he/she stays in place and grows well. If they have to be "lifted out" so be it, wishing you both well x
That’s cool. I have worked in film And TV and Theater most of my life on and off, mostly music and set stuff. If you need someone to make props or sets that’s kinda one of my sidelines.
I have to say this is the first time I have watched one of your videos and wAs not happy,more to do with the title of the video,I watched with a bad foreboding that some terrible news was to come so did not enjoy watching,it feels almost click bate style like some channels try to get more views.intentional or not considering what you had said in a earlier video where you mentioned Melissa was in hospital it felt like you were going to deliver some terrible news.I am glad Melissa and baby are well but the title suggested a dartk turn.some people may have a go for my comments,I suffer from ptsd and I know all about dark feelings,I just feel the title was inappropriate and very ambiguous..watching your videos have helped me in my continuing recovery and put me in a better place,this video was the exception to the rule.
@@tazong, I'm 100% sure Andy didn't intend this to upset anyone. Just sailing early in the dark and reaching their destination in the dark. These people are so kind and courteous and would have no intention of upsetting anyone. Sending you gentle hugs for your recovery 🤗
hehe I bought my boat in Pwllheli, i wished you stopped at Barmouth, beautiful port which is my home port in the Summer, winter storage is Ynyslas , fair winds guys:)
Ahhh I’ve been in and out of Barmouth but we didn’t want to get tangled up with St Peter’s causeway and have to either go back out and round or through the narrow break so we pressed on straight past. We will be going into Barmouth on the way back south though
Just look after your self that all that matters All my thoughts are with you at this time but you will be in good hands and they will look after you and that little bump
Loved this episode, found it interesting seeing the tidal currents round that side. Note to self on that one. Not really looked at that side of the country just yet. Fond memories at the butlins in Pwllhel growing up as a kid. Hope all goes well with new born. 💀😺⛵️💨

Haha we can't wait for that day!! Although being fair we will be under 25 layers of sun cream 😂
Many prayers for Melissa and newborn.

I work in the Theatre in Milford haven and look down on the harbour, with dreams of getting on a boat and sailing away
That’s cool. I have worked in film
And TV and Theater most of my life on and off, mostly music and set stuff. If you need someone to make props or sets that’s kinda one of my sidelines.
I had a Pandora 22 - fantastic boat 👍
15:13 mins in: my trachea seized, my stomach hurt and I felt elated: purely at the sight of that ship ⚓️🎼🌱✌️🤗 Happy sailings, Ocean Melody
Good luck with the baby ❤
Thank you 😊
Lovely😊😊
as a ex sail boater myself, its the adventure and hands on sailing that counts. not the endless water in all directions.
😁

Loved this episode, found it interesting seeing the tidal currents round that side. Note to self on that one. Not really looked at that side of the country just yet. Fond memories at the butlins in Pwllhel growing up as a kid. Hope all goes well with new born. 💀😺⛵️💨
You really should sail round here. It’s incredible
@@SailingMelody fingers crossed over the next few year, slowly making my up the east coast then down the west. 🤞👍
Best wishes to you guys, you've worked so hard to make all this work, you deserve a break ❤
