I’m glad you enjoyed sailing our beautiful West coast. My father was a keen yachtsman, a member of the Clyde Cruising Club and he sailed the West coast every summer until the age of 92. He worked at the Singer Factory in Clydebank for over 30 years and also sewed with a refurbished 1930s electric foot pedal machine which I now have. I can always remember some marine ply woodwork lying on our dining room table being repaired 😂 Thank you for flying our Saltire as a courtesy flag which is always nice to see and much appreciated. Some notes on pronunciation. Islay - Aisle-ah (emphasis on 1st syllable) Croabh - Croov Oban - Oh-ban (emphasis on 1st syllable) Lovely video. It’s always nice to see places that are so familiar to me, through another’s eyes.
Hi J and M. thank you very much for all your videos specially North Ireland not very well known . I am French , I have an Hallberg Rassy 342 and I hope to navigate around Ireland and perhaps Scotland . Your Sprayhood cockpit encloser is nice , but you must chang it to protect more . Please what do you change on this piece ? Thank you very much , and nice trip !
Bonjour Philippe, We added a piece to extend down from the aft end of the dodger to the cockpit floor, its made from sunbrella and clear plastic and zips onto the aft edge of the dodger.
What a lovely couple and obviously very competent sailors too
Thanks for watching
Love the video and background music.
Cool episode

Just dsc'd you guys for a chat. Great channel. Enjoy your videos. Cheers. TracenJ.
It's not Iss-lay; it's Eye-la.
Thanks - we’ll get it right next time
The correct courtesy flag is red ensign not St. Andrews cross
Most people fly the Saltire as a courtesy flag in Scotland.
It’s pronounced “eye-lay”
Nope, sorry. Its pronounced like the girls name Isla (phonetically: isle-a)
