Alluring

Really enjoyed this video. Professional photography and informative. I’ve sailed into Salcombe many times and the harbour team are so helpful. I will be back again this summer - at least once but outside the height of summer holidays!

A place I call home❤

Do you ever use sculling oar over the stern ? Useful in that harbour.

What engine do you have?

Entertaining to watch you rowing, I wonder looking at her hull shape, would a sweep oar work? Great videos and a boat to dream of. Keep it up.

Should have gone to gweek boatyard,, some strange folk there 🤣

Maker cap not there now then ?

I love this series! Love the idea of a slowed down, reflective, almost historic, re-exploration. The shorts are perfect. Thank you for all you’re doing! All the way from land locked Colorado, your messages ring loudly and clearly.

Very enjoyable 👍

Living in Plymouth very much makes me think I really need to buy another boat. Absolutely beautiful footage to cheer up the winter!

Always worth a visit from Plymouth Boats down the river Realm in the Sunshine!!

Fabulous, great video.

The River Yealm, Noss Mayo, Newton Ferrers and Stone Point eluded me. Must look harder.

Loving these videos and uk estuaries and rivers are hidden gems of history and buety. I really want you to explore them all. Also almost dont want the secret out...😊

Excellent! Thank you!

Beautiful ❤

Absolutely enjoyable series. The pace is just right. The copious aerial views - great photography. The tonal music. And I like that the experts interviewed get a solid hearing - too often they get a sentence or two and then we are back to the droning celebrity. Not here! JD N.Z.

Beautiful presentation!

Yes

wonderfull video and narration, the aerial photography a pleasure to watch .Thank you.

A lovely video. We visited the Exe in our yacht (out from Chichester Harbour) last summer but couldn’t get much higher than Starcross given the tide. So nice to see the lock and Topsham from the water. I was hoping you would stop at that floating cafe which was closed when we went by.

Lovely boat. I'm enjoying these little videos.

Hey Conrad I have just binge-watched ALL your River Journeys films. They are awesome ! Sitting here at 3,400m in Cusco Peru, they are bring back such great memories of all my sailing round the South West.

Hi Conrad, great to see a visit to the Fal. I grew up with sailing summer holidays here in the 70s. We used to stay at Mylor and then later St Mawes. Philip Marsden wrote a wonderful book on the history of the Fal, The leveling sea. Looking forward to more adventures thanks

Excellnt, I grew up in Higher Batson in the 70s and 80s.

The River Fal invokes a sadness in me as in the late 70's the Blue Star & Reefers from other companies were laid up there. Fleets of British ships with British crews ran to New Zealand & Australia bringing the Lamb, mutton, beef, butter & wool from our commonwealth friends ... & lamb was affordable for everyone. Besides that us sailors had a ball.

Nice

Gostei muito desse modelo de bote a vela 😊❤👍🤩😍

How long is your lil boat

Brilliant video on a part of the world I know well. Interestingly, my friend lives right next to a farm with the same surname as your boat builder guest. it's just outside Truro too!

It's almost as though ethnic cleansing was legal.

Will you be visiting the Teign?

Hello Mr. Conrad, my name is Martins and I am one of your followers here in Brazil. This boat is wonderful. Could you please give some information about this boat or perhaps recommend a video where I can learn more about this beautiful boat? Thank you and please keep up your excellent videos. Big hug from your friends in Brazil.

Found your channel a few days ago. Really good, intelligent and inspiring. Are there plans for more.

I have just started viewing your TH-cam channel. I have found your narration to be informative and the scenery amazing. I live in the USA and have an immense interest in traditional sailing craft. Your sailing skills are impressive.

I,ve lived in Plymouth for fifty six years and although it has plenty of opportunities it is still quite frankly a shit hole. Lots of areas run down and dirty. If I was a visitor down on holiday I certainly wouldn’t want to visit the city again.

Thanks so much for doing these Conrad. Really appreciated. Going to get out there this summer on the Wayfarer.

Lovely informative and relaxing film. Thanks

That was lovely! I thought I knew Salcombe quite well, having worked there for three summers about 20 years ago, but I learned a lot about its history from this video - fascinating to hear about the sailing ships that used to use it before it became a holiday spot. I was a sailing instructor at the Island Cruising Club, based on the Egremont, an old Mersey ferry that was moored in the Bag. Challenging place to teach sailing, but such happy memories. Also great to see Bounty getting around without an engine, despite not being great upwind as you point out. Will inspire me to use the oars more and the engine less on our Tarka - I thought she was a heavy boat to row but she must be half the size of Bounty!

Great video. I love the Dart, it's one of my favourite places in the world. Dittisham is pronounced 'Ditsum' by the way...

Darwin also left from Barn pool. Great river sailing videos.

This was just what I needed. So bored with mainstream TV on a winters night. Looking forward to other instalments. MANY THANKS. Chris G.P.

Good freeboard on your boat so I was glad to hear you say that you are doing some coast wise sailing. Roger in Brittany needs a hull with more freeboard for some of his off-shore expeditions. Hope that you go to the extremities of the navigations i.e. above Morwellham.(?Sp) and up the Yealm. The O.S. 1" sheet show Kingsbridge to be seriously 'dried' at at L W Ss. so I was glad you went up there. Do I see an engine box on board? Certainly some pipe exits above the waterline.

Going into Dartmouth was a memorable highlight of taking my RYA competent crew ticket, on Golden Vanity of the Trinity Sailing Foundation. Just one of the historic vessels out of Brixham that do good work.

A great series of South Coast River valleys and their history. Hoping with Electric Boats these become more of a tourist route!

Really nice series of Local River valleys with their history and shipping challenges!

Exciting as a kid getting caught out in a rowing boat fishing by the "bar"

I've actually just finished reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Sea Lord', and Salcombe and crossing the Bar in a yacht in a storm feature in the first chapter. These have been great to watch. (Ps I'd definitely choose Bounty's End over John Rossendale's Sunflower!)
