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

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 think that the places where the sea meets the land are always interesting - lochs, estuaries, sounds and rias are accessible to the boat. I was lucky to be able to sail there - I am hoping to return and am saving up for a nother boat. Of course, if you live in Aus or Texas then this is half way around the world

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 👍

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.
