- Finally ..feeling better after the dreaded lurgy .. I go to sea again for another multi day adventure to the Ross of Mull and the Island of Iona. My thanks to Jeff for his company on the way. We managed three lovely days of boating before storm Betty hit Scotland. Its the second named storm to hit Scotland during August which tells a lot about our summer weather this year
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Good to see you back afloat, could the drone song be lost at sea asap 😂😂
Please to hear your better Donny we are on our way up to loch etive in a few weeks cannot wait to see the promised land, the sib is packed and ready to go great watch as always keep them coming
Thanks for posting Donny, glad you are on the mend, love the drone footage
Another great video Donny, we had a day trip to Lochbuie this year so I can relate to the clips in the video....and we saw the fallow deer as well.👍
Hi Donny loved the trip illness stopped me last year as it did you this but you can’t put old buggers like us down for long😊mate sadly I’ve lost all my footage don’t ask sausage roll fingers I recon still it wasn’t anything like this, I keep saying it the drone is well worth the money in every respect looking forward to the next episode cheers for now stay well mate.
Really enjoy watching your adventures on high seas ma man, we do the same at weekend when weather permits, we just upgraded to a boat world 330 airdeck over the moon with it my 2 and 3yr old love it, also my wife is turning into quite the skipper at the helm, all the best bud
Great wee video again. Love following your adventures. Keep it up.👍
Alright Donny...i was on the beach at night , at low water, in front of the castle during a lightning storm around 5 years ago....the huge boulders on the beach lit up with constant strikes...totally amazing....
Glad to see that you are fit and well to carry on with your adventures Donny. Love your drone footage and the music blended in well with the scenery. It's Catchy too 🎶
Donny you are the man 👍 I was missing your wee adventures, hope your all fixed now.. I’ll get out on the water for next year. Andy in glasgow
Brilliant to see you back out and about Donny hope the fish are still biting for hopefully bump into you on the water soon
Great having you back and that drone song has got to be the new No1 !
Thanks Piker ..glad you enjoy the video ..much appreciated :-D
Great to see you oot n'aboot Donny. By the way, down here, we call that lurgy was "old age". Keep ahad young 'un.
Thanks ashley ..its great to be oot n'aboot again ..and singing about it too :-D
Hi Donny, another spectacular video. Boats looking great. Looked a good clear journey, and the camp spot looked great. Were the Boats actually beached when the tide went out. I'm looking forward to part two. Abt Steve 👍
Hi steve..yup.. the pier is high and dry at low tide ..you get used to it when camping with a heavy boat..just got to make sure its sheltered from the wind and waves as it dries out or refloats :-D
Found myself singing that tune in the shower today 😆
A relief to see you back 😁
Thanks 123boat..cant keep a good man down..for long :-D
@@donnywilcox You certainly can’t 👍
Great video Donny something I really want to do, apart from being poorly and I am glad your feeling better I want to do that your lucky to have a friend to go with you, I know you would still of done it on your own but being poorly for so long its great to have support. The guys I hang with have even smaller boats than mine. I was at Taynuilt a month ago where a very young lad went across to Mull to buy his very first S.I.B it was a Yamaha 3.2with long shaft 9.9 2 stroke engine. The boy sailed from Mull to Taynuilt, that was the very first time he had been in a boat, no sure if I am not that brave or not that stupid but he really enjoyed the trip. just a question on your drone footage, did you fly it at different frames? one was very stuttery at my end as if it was at 24 and the others at 30f.Thanks for sharing Ray K UK YNWA.
Hi again Ray..all the footage is shot at 25 frames per second including the camcorder and go pro footage. 😀 I dont use filters to slow the drone shutter speed which you will know should ideally should be around 50 fps to get motion blur which assists preventing stutter. ( for video ...the shutter speed should be twice the frame rate..and to get that requires filters to cut out the light the camera is seeing.) I did buy some ND filters but they make life hard because with a fixed shutter speed..the video can then be over or under exposed as there is no adjustable aperture on the drone camera to compensate.. I get what I paid for ..its good quality drone footage but lacks a lot compared to a decent video camera ..im happy enough to put up with a bit of stutter rather than keep changing filters every time the sun goes behind a cloud. ,,hope that answers your question
Enjoyed your video but had to turn the sound down every time that awful recording came on
Hi Kirsten can I suggest that rather than turning the sound down you go else where and dont watch my videos. I put a lot of work into them and for free so go sing your displeasure else where. I realise there are people who do nothing but moan about other folks and consider you of that type..so get lost :-D
@@donnywilcox not complaining but if you record more songs with the brother and sister can you give her a solo, I like her voice but it's hard to hear over her brother
Hi ross ..always happy to take a request as i intend expanding on the drone song for the videos... its a fun light hearted "earworm" song that fits the mood of my videos. I suspect a Rabbie Burns dirge would hit rock bottom quicker than my anchor would as that genre of music died with the Corries ..but you just cant tell some folks that :-D
