The Caribbean caught me, would love to sail there, but Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and England are really compelling. It's great to see something thats different from the other channels. Your content and creativity is really stunning. Just the right balance of sailing, shore life, projects, and life on board. Brilliant! Looking forward to the cat build. Plus only 101 comments on such a outstanding episode is a crime. Thought I'd help with one more.
Mmmmmmm clotted cream!!! Obviously, just like Matt, I like to eat a little pastry with my clotted cream! ;-D It was great to see Georgie get to join y'all for the excursion. She is such a low-key, easy going kitty. What a joy she must be as a traveling companion. Looking forward to exploring Plymouth with y'all!!!
Hi been following you for a while . And i can't believe your in my home town . I use to live on the Barbican opposite a pub called The Three Crowns. And all those cobbles stones your walking on i laid them about 27 years ago . And repaired some more areas around where the Pilgrim Fathers steps are. And lift for the USA all those years ago . There's a breakwater in Plymouth sound which protect the harbor from 5 meter waves . I hope the both of you enjoyed your winter in plymouth . Hope you return one day
Hi from Colorado! Wonderful to have this cozy video in these scary times. Your's and Sailing Uma are two of my favorite channels. Looking forwards to more as always!
So cool, to be someplace that has hundreds of years of history, to walk through streets and buildings and think of how life was during times past, just can’t get that in the USA. Stay safe, Live, Love, Laugh, enjoy all life has to offer! 👍😀
I know it was a different Moor I could hear but I could The brilliant (19 yr old) Kate Bush singing 'Wuthering Heights' in my head while you were on the moor. 'Out on the Wiley windy moor, We'd roll and fall in green'. Wonderful memories from '78 Cheers Warren
Oh wow! Two of my very favorite sailing couples in the same marina for the winter. I look forward to vids from both of you showing your visits together.
You two are producing amazing videos with really great editing. Cool, having the soundtrack displayed on the progress bar. Great Britain is so nice, even in the rainy and windy winter.
I’ve been there a few times! My mom is English and I’ve been lucky enough to go to England 3 times. Mince pies are always baked for Christmas, we don’t have clotted cream so we use creme brûlée without the brûlée! Being a chef and having cousins and an uncle chefs too I got to go to amazing places! The cream part of the grocery store always just got me, so fabulous! Thank you!
Morning to you both here in Camas WA I cannot think of a better way to start the day than with you. Your video work is just beautiful. One can smell the ocean salt in the air. And Jessica your voice makes it all perfect. Safe sailing...
Nice to see you made it safe into Plymouth. One of my main goals this year was to sail out of the Bristol Channel, around Lands End an pop into Plymouth. I drove to Plymouth about 18 months ago visiting Plymouth college of Art with my daughter and it was a lovely place. I understand there are 3 marina's there, hopefully I might still make it. But will have to see how long this lockdown lasts for. Stay safe both, cheers Lee from South Wales.
⛵ I had to laugh when you told Georgie that was not her boat. As a cat owner you already know that anyting a cat walks on, sits on, lays on or even sees belongs to them.🐱 thank you for the video.
I spent a few days and nights on Dartmoor over 50 years ago. It was summer and very cold. The food at the Royal Marine Commando Training Base was brilliant.
BrRRRrrrRrR!, Well, with this coronavirus craziness you may get your wish to spend the summer there after all. As always thank you guys for sharing your adventure/knowledge. Cheers from warm and sunny (yet locked down) Ventura California
I know you filmed this earlier, and released today, I just wanted you to not feel so bad, in Grand Rapids MI, I have awakened the last two days to snow on our cars! and supposed to get more tomorrow. NO, how can I prepare the garden with snow on it!!!!!!!! Always enjoy your video's and seeing Georgie is a bonus!!!! Enjoy and be safe!
For some reason it was especially nice hearing your voices this morning. May be all this sheltering in place. So bless you for you morning visit, really appreciated. Really nice job of alternating between drone shots and handheld shots for an overview of the marina and surrounding areas. I know you'll relate the berthing costs (did I say that right?) later, I couldn't help but think, expensive, when you described the great setup you have behind closed locks and protection. Definitely worth it for all the peace of mind during your winter stay (and then you captured how huge the benefit is going to be!). I could tell how thrilled you were that regular warm showers were also included!! Claire's story contrasting her childhood and her adult experiences was cute. It's interesting how our perspectives change with our age. Two Bridges Hotel looked really charming. "...and the cream!" Sounds like a winner. James and Claire seemed really nice and hosted you both to a wonderful day. The chicken pie looks like it was going to be delicious. Thanks for brightening the morning. Hoping you two (and Georgie) are warm, safe, dry and fairing well in Plymouth during the craziness.
Thanks Guys! You hit some great british bits there. Happy to get to follow along! In the states going for a hike and hitting a bar afterwards usually involves fried food. England has good living down pat.
Wondered if you'd be running into Dan and Kika when you said you were going into Sutton Marina. I was in a play in our local Little Theatre here called The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was a comedy spoof of the Sherlock Holmes story. A lot of it was set on Dartmoor, or Dartmoo' as it was referred to in the play. So it was great to see what Dartmoor , and the tors, actually looks like.
This episode brought to you by Sutton harbor marina where unicorns bring your coffee every morning and the showers include a happy ending every time! I hope there was a deep discount. Welcome to England, here is one of our beautiful parks (camera pans over a logged clear cut). Wow, I'm glad we didn't wait until all the trees were cut to form national parks. At least that oven at the end was neat.
You are in my home waters. Half way between Sutton Harbour and the city centre is a pub called The Minerva which claims to be the oldest pub in Plymouth. I can’ vouch for that but I can recommend the draft cider, which is made by the local brewers Hunts and is called Bull Walloper. If you think a cream tea is amazing, try a couple of pints of that stuff. You will giggle all the way back to the boat.
So much so that she became famous a few years ago because of it! 😻 www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3137264/Sailing-away-rat-race-Couple-quit-jobs-sell-belongings-travel-world-boat-cat-Georgie.html
All the photos in that article are great but the one with Matt sleeping and Georgie up in the locker above with her legs in the air is priceless! Relaxed, happy, content, idyllic
Uma couple yes they seem to be land based and not cruising uk like others , loved your vids have been to these towns in 2010 so remins time the Devon teas are ro die for nice country club oh well , back in New Zealand
Dartmoor, the land that time forgot! Scotland brags it has four seasons in one day, the Moor often has four seasons in ten minutes! Along with most Bootnecks, I spent much time up there, training. I have an on off relationship with it. Like the girlfriend who is a total social hand grenade, capable of ruining any important family occasion but is so incredible in bed that all is forgiven, the Moor has many moods. From the hot days of July or August, listening to Skylarks ascend, as I lay in lonely OPs, to the impenetrable fog (clag ,we call it) where you absolutely have to trust your compass and nav skills, to the freezing horizontal sleet in winter. And the ankle breaking tussock grass and the waist deep bogs ... And not forgetting the sheer joy that is Okehampton Battle Camp. How I miss that old bastard of a place. Two Bridges is a good pub but I prefer the Plume of Doom for a good day time session , plus I always trapped more in the Plume. Stay safe you two, this won`t last forever.
Is Cap’n Jasper’s still there? Lived there many years ago working at Derriford hospital. Love georgies jumper. Best wishes and stay safe from Fremantle, Western Australia.
You guys chose wisely. Winter at the other marina would be no fun at all. Are you getting any push back for staying longer than expected? In the news story you linked below, you both look like models. Nice work.
They arrived in late October I think, and we got there in the beginning of December. And once we got settled in we started hanging out about once a week. 🙂
Did you have cream or clotted cream? We love clotted cream on scones, we can't find clotted cream here in the states so my wife makes it for us in our Insta Pot...
Hi Guys, love your work, the places you have been and your lifestyle. To describe our wonderful UK winter weather as “frijid” is not a good use of the adjective. Maybe you should google it then edit it out, it was also in the previous episode! Somethings just dont translate from American to English well. But it does of course depend on how you spell it whilst speaking.
@@MJSailing The brit'sh way dealing with that exact problem ever was (and ever will be) sailing south until the butter melts. There wouldn't have been a world empire having found it's way into dictionaries throughout as "The British Empire" had they had less hostile weather on that Island. Oh, and Scotch, of course. That sorta spirit's a weather thing, too. (Edit ... and gin ...)
Was this "Storm Dennis"? That storm was really nasty here at Gosport but the worst I've had was 40kts/8metres crossing Biscay. Also, are you able to chat about visas and such like on instagram?
No, not Dennis as this was mid-December. Not sure if it was a named storm? I would think we can chat about Visas on Instagram. We just arrived back to the UK in late Feb after a few weeks away, so I believe we're good until mid-August.
We have 2 episodes featuring our time in Tenerife, and then back to our time in the marina here. Cat build won't be until fall, but there will still be videos featuring the planning to come!
What a gift to have people invite you into their lives and show you their country and open their lives to you.
You’ve got the best sailing channel, great videography, calm Matt and gorgeous Jess...All should equal massive subscribers!
Very Beautiful ☺😍👍

Lots of Georgie content! Made my day. What an adaptable cat!
Thank you! Yes, we love her so much. Couldn't imagine doing these journeys without her by our side. 😊
The true star of the show
Superbly produced as usual Jess.
Another fantastic episode......and the Pub visit was long overdue. :)
Hi from Colorado! Wonderful to have this cozy video in these scary times. Your's and Sailing Uma are two of my favorite channels. Looking forwards to more as always!
Our pleasure!
So nice of them to invite Georgie along, thanks for sharing the moments and all the great views of the area. Stay safe and sail again soon.
Thanks guys. So nice to be reminded of life before the bug
So cool, to be someplace that has hundreds of years of history, to walk through streets and buildings and think of how life was during times past, just can’t get that in the USA. Stay safe, Live, Love, Laugh, enjoy all life has to offer! 👍😀
Lots of beautiful boats in that harbor
Any port in a storm and I believe you guys have found a perfect place to sit out the winter months. Hot showers and good food, God Bless.
Beautiful video. Love England.
Really enjoy how you show your surroundings, it puts everything into context and makes it that much more interesting.
Truly a beautiful video.
I know it was a different Moor I could hear but I could The brilliant (19 yr old) Kate Bush singing 'Wuthering Heights' in my head while you were on the moor. 'Out on the Wiley windy moor, We'd roll and fall in green'.

What wonderful hosts those people were!!!! Beautiful beautiful pride and prejudice
Oh wow! Two of my very favorite sailing couples in the same marina for the winter. I look forward to vids from both of you showing your visits together.
Seeing animals in a restaurant reminds me of home . Stay safe you three.
I don't think I've seen a more dog friendly country than the UK. I'm actually unsure where they aren't allowed :) -Matt
So amazing to think that this was filmed a short four months ago, oh how things have changed, stay safe folks
You two are producing amazing videos with really great editing. Cool, having the soundtrack displayed on the progress bar. Great Britain is so nice, even in the rainy and windy winter.
What beautiful landscapes! Wow, the pub looked so cozy.
Tony & Susan here, I believe you made a good choice for a winter stay. Vary good choice.
I’ve been there a few times! My mom is English and I’ve been lucky enough to go to England 3 times.

I've loved watching your adventures, probably the only way I will ever get to see where my heritage comes from, thank you thank you Matt and Jess!!
Our pleasure!
@@MJSailing has to be a dream come true for you guys to be able to have such a great adventure and to do it together, my love from Oklahoma
Nice video.

The funny thing is, she KNOWS!! She literally knows she's not supposed to do it, and she'll just look at us like "Try and stop me". 😹
Hope you two are staying safe, I really loved everything about your production.
i loved this episode more than any .. well done
I hope this finds you both well
I spent a few days and nights on Dartmoor over 50 years ago. It was summer and very cold. The food at the Royal Marine Commando Training Base was brilliant.

Beautiful. Made me feel a little homesick, but never mind.
Dartmoor is my favourite spot in the world with hundreds of fabulous pubs
I know you filmed this earlier, and released today, I just wanted you to not feel so bad, in Grand Rapids MI, I have awakened the last two days to snow on our cars! and supposed to get more tomorrow.

Thanks for brightening the morning. Hoping you two (and Georgie) are warm, safe, dry and fairing well in Plymouth during the craziness.
WOW WOW WOW that episode hit my audio and visual g-spot.
Born in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor I am also a yachtie. Thanks for a lovely episode!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Guys! You hit some great british bits there. Happy to get to follow along!
In the states going for a hike and hitting a bar afterwards usually involves fried food. England has good living down pat.

😂😂 We also have a mutener who also jumps ship when he gets the chance 😻😻😻 Artie the ship’s cat 🐈
We always get worried she's going to sail away because she'll sneak on someone's boat and they won't know before taking off. 😬
that was a piss poor fire in the pub. gotta love uk country pubs.
This is an interesting channel. I'm subscribing.
whilst in boastal waters in around 100ft of water you are likely to find crab and lobster pots just a heads up

Hi mamI'll see you all videos it's so nice i like this adventure and traveling can I join you mam
Aluminum boat? How cold does it get in blue waters?
Pretty sure it was the beautiful lady behind the camera...not being on camera, that made him forget ;)
