And thank you, Dylan, for bringing back your unique combi of sailing adventure, great filming, witty comments and not least, a great choice of music. Let's all return to paypal.

Brilliant filming; brilliant narration as usual Dylan. You've made me realise that I really must visit there again. Thanks.

Hi Dylan, That has to be the most beautiful and majestic landscape to be seen. Thank you for sharing. Made my day.

Great to have you and your videos back Dylan. Thank you!

Brilliant as always! I’m sitting on our pool deck in Hudson, Quebec, Canada (home of the Melonseed Skiff Grenville) sipping a wee dram of McClelland’s single malt, watching the late afternoon sun sinking in a clear blue sky. The Robins, Cardinals, Woodpeckers and Cedar Waxwings are singing a glorious chorus. By some amazing coincidence, I’m reading Neil Gunn’s “Off in a Boat” ... specifically the chapters devoted to Loch Etive. How perfect is that?! Slàinte and Hold Fast! John

Thank you Dylan, a joy to watch on a Sunday night

Great to have you back Dylan. Wonderful part of the world. It took me back 30 years, when I was diver in the RN. Loved working around the West Coast Islands. On my bucket list to return on ELISE.

Ardnamurchan Point, almost the most westerley point on the island of Great Britain, i cycled there from Lowestoft the most easterly point, my own little adventure, good to see it from the water, a grey dull day when i was there with no wind..lovely film brought back memories of my cycling trip...

Brilliant way to unwind, welcome back! Thanks for sharing.

Startled to see myself and my son in this one - thanks for posting it and hope to see you on the water again soon :)

Well done Dylan great to here your wonderful voice again. And with that great boat the Centaur.

Thanks, Dylan. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with you. ❤️🔥

Wonderful to see you back on the water Dylan... Great vid as always m8.

Good to see you back on air Dylan. I passed that very lighthouse last year on a scary run to Mallaig for boys week!

Just shows that you don't need to travel halfway around the globe to find beauty. The draw for a blue water cruisers to access remote exotic locations is huge for sailors, but in reality a well founded shallow draft bilge keel will take you places a blue water cruiser could only dream of.

I love your films Dylan, wonderful ⛵️

My late best Bud hailed from Kilchoan, good man. Was up in my old stomping ground Loch Goil last weekend, we had the first vans there in 1965, changed days indeed now..;-( What a lovely sail you had.

Lovely videos Dylan , still did not convince me to want to spend much time there but happy to help you show it to us. PayPal tap on its way from you website Cheers Warren

Great video as always. It's a real joy to watch your videos and hear intelligence voice over. But one thing why don't you use Patreon I for one would be more than happy to donate for each video you put up. All the best Steve (A old bloke with a boat he can't really afford)

Wonderful as always Dylan. Andy UK

In Argyll as I watch this. Glorious.

Thank you kind Sir

Lovely to rediscover you on youtube. Makes me feel nostalgic for those waters.

Haven't seen one for a year or so busy with life loved it .

What spectacular scenery. The weather only makes it more interesting when the mist and rain part to show the magnificent hills.

Speaking as a tight fisted Jock, I think it is only fair that all comments on pronunciations should be accompanied by a donation to Dylan's website. Keep on sailing fella, we have missed your dulcet tones and look forward to more. You have to complete the circumnavigation!

So glad you are back. Obrigado

You are a brave man to go through the Etive Narrows ! Not for my ship. Never.

Excellent! Many thanks, but I see you've nicked my sailing jumper, hehehe :-) (sv calico jack)

You probably didn't recognise 'Ros Donn', the rightmost of the three ex-fishing boats at the start of the video. You came on board while in I was working on her in Eyemouth and took some video of the Kelvin T4 engine... good to see you have got this far. Ian

Really enjoyed your video. Looking forward to part 2.

Another lovely sail - thanks Dylan.

This is very appealing

Loch Etive not Eteeve, a small price to pay for excellent filming and editing, The Scottish Isles close to my own heart having done a few sailing expeditions there myself, what are you going to do once you complete your anti clockwise circumnavigation ?.

I'll stay to the right thank you very much!

Fantastic.

Glad to see you are back at it.

Simply marvelous Sir. Good to see it via the KZfaq portal. Could one perhaps countenance putting a 'footage filmed' date in the video description, as an aide memoire as to the timeline of your travels? Kind regards.

Excellent video. Moreover we have the exceptional bonus to have a sailing video without horrendous elevator music or heavy metal (or Bach - Mozart for that matter) : live sound is 100% to have the real feel of what the whole video is about. Thank you …

Tealights? You were lucky... We had matches that we had to split into 6 to eke them out.. Aye but we were happy....

I went sailed up the round Oban and Tobermory last summer lovey places

Oh what a joy

Great Dylan as always, love the mole grip cooker mods. Still got my Roberts radio ! Be safe

14:15 - Vice-Grips. The ultimate tool!

Oh how lovely to hear about "lock eteeve", presumably you mean "loch (a bit like cough) eh-tiv??

Was that haggis? Curious how you're going to handle tossing about with one head. Great footage, keep up the good work.

Lovely calm to this post. But what was the significance of the purple bag? Or is it mauve, I'm colour blind where they are concerned.

Scottish place names generally elongate the first vowel and shorten the second. Oban is Oh-bin, Etive is Eh-tiv, Tarbet is Tahr-bit, Malaig is Mah-lig etc etc. Not a hard rule of course. That wouldn’t be the Scots way. Lismore is Lis-mhore. Great video though 👍

Dylan, are you currently sailing these waters in "Katie L" or is this episode from a year or two back?

Watching this in Cally Road, ‘olloway. Good as.

Loch not lock

Is that your boat all the way up there?

Sorry -- Castle Tioram !

Etiv with an e. Sound the i not the e mate.

Just refound your channel after an unknown number of elastic years. You've mellowed. A new word for your first 10-15 seconds. Is firkling, also unknown to speel chequers spelled furkling. A chap who posted a highly technical method of mutual and reciprocal configuration that forced the interworking of 2 BT hubphones of differing versions (remember those?) to both simultaneously work on one pstn line. All questionable code and legality. He described the activity that led to this successful hacking as firkling; poking around his shed/workshop at the same time as the dark recesses of his mind's logic which he couldn't quite grasp the how of, but could feel the outside shape of. His wife called it getting up to a lot of nothing to achieve the same result as normal (nothing) but firkling was just more out of her way. So anyway, in the first 15 seconds, that came to me as apt. Another phrase was Jumpers for goalposts, which came later on in your galley. An excellent post. I shall return.

Loch Eh-tiv

please don’t go down the road of trying to pronounce place names like a local ,it’s both pretentious and a form of cultural appropriation.. if people mimic my accent I assume they are taking the piss .
