This video seriously needs a comment. Love the video, love the birthday celebration - perfect way to go, and love the new dinghy. Q: Does the black dinghy get hotter in sunny weather than the gray? Or does the textured cover make a difference?

Carpet looks great. Can you get the edges “wipped” and that would stop if fraying in the future

Great video - keep it up !

Ed, you can fly your drone in Alderney, just call air traffic and they will give you permission. We're in Alderney right now and did just that.

A really interesting video, Ed! Great cinematography too! I hope your friends enjoyed their voyage. Look forward to watching future trips.

Well done 👏 Out of interest, as a non sailor, what did the yellow flag you raised signify? X

Great job, properly exhausting but worth it 👌⛵️

As both a mountain climber and blue water sailor one of the first things I learned was when to retreat.

Sailing whilst wearing rings on one's fingers is asking for trouble!

Sign of a great skipper, crew and boat safety comes first, good shout.

Good call. Everyone is safe. Things can escalate real quick in saliing.

Sensible call to retire and head back....3.28 we made the same choice 😮

Yup, stay in port and ramp up some experience.

With those nasty tides, and huge winds, nobody needs to break gear and bodies unnecessarily

What a sensible guy, comes over very well.

We sail for FUN. if the fun stops, stop. Good call.

Simply not worth the risk, most especially with one on board who's never sailed before, as you rightly say you'd have put them off for life! In those conditions you need everyone to have experience, one bad error, mishap or uncertainty in those seas could spell serious danger to everyone. Good decision to abandon (like so many others did).

I think on a dog it’s a anal gland lol close👍👍

Great stuff your a great singer 👍👍

I really enjoyed this video. There is not much unsponsored feedback re the Clipper. My husband and I considered circumnavigating in 2025/26 and completed the interviews, but reluctantly ended up deciding against it. Knowing what you know now, would you do it again? Gosh, Julie's accident looked serious! Glad she was okay. Thanks for the fun video. Greetings from sunny South Africa. 🇿🇦

Hi there, I like your channel. Watching from the Netherlands and in the early stages of buying a small offshore boat myself. Enjoy the boat life!

You are doing a good job. The videos are good. Watching from Orlando, Florida.

Loving the uploads Ed!

Can't wait to see your home for real...exciting! Xx

you're 28 ?? look a lot younger

Don't rewire the bow thruster if it is working backwards. Turn the switch upside down .

Have you tried eating at a place in Cowes called 'Call it what you want?' Highly recommend. No menu, get what you are given but great food, he did mexican food when we went last year. In an old butchers shop in the high street.

Hi Ed, Just found this channel. I am just about to do the same thing (got the boat alraedy and am aiming to set off on my RTW adventure next June) Love the channel and your energy! I look forward to following your adventures - Fair winds

Just brill! ⚓️🐬🌿🌸 Thanks for this TH-cam channel ✌️🌼⚓️

Great video!

ooops rounding up haha great video. go that way..

Best one yet! Loved seeing your friend Julie and putting a face to the name and hearing how your smile and positive attitude boosted the crews spirits in the middle of the night! I am one proud mumma! ❤

Hi Ed, the Westerly is a much better choice for what you have planned than the "Duffer". Good luck with your plans I'll be following along...

Hi Ed, well done for jumping aboard, it makes so much sense where you live instead of paying mad rents. Just an idea for a future video, I've seen you pick up a mooring ball and tie a couple of knots, even the not knot knot. Maybe you could drill down into the - how exactly I did that - side of things? I know I would love to know what you did with that anchor knot (not). It's just an idea but keep on keeping on with what your doing. So far, I'm hooked.

Nice

Amazing 🎉

Hiya Ed.. Thanks for brightening the morning...Optimist is looking fab. What is life without a leak! Keep safe, Mark.

Great views of the Solent!

Where was mooring ball?

Perfect sail trim.. if I so say so myself haha

Nice work!

Great episode as ever. What is the name of the battery charger that you have?

Hi - absolutely loved the video ❤ So relaxing and stress free, exactly what I would love to be doing. You like the simple things and demonstrate this so well. Editing is great too! So unpretentious like so many sailing TH-camrs are - breath of fresh air. Good luck will be following ❤

Sounds like your pipes are furred up Ed. Scale comes loose and blocks the pipe.

You're a breath of fresh air, Ed 16:14 loved your fun, sailing prowess, and know how to enjoy a good curry and cocktail ! Keep safe and warm!Mark

Lovely to have East Head all to yourself. 👍

Good show, enjoyed the video. Buy a Lavac, trust me on this one. 🚽 👍

Can't wait to experience yacht life some day soon! ⛵️

Hi Ed, enjoying the channel!

Good vibes. Definitely looking forward to the summer now!!
