I was repairing and rebuilding engines from age 19 and I still find it strange that not everyone gets a thrill out of doing this. My suggestion is that you take a little time out to watch YT videos of engine maintenance so that you can do it yourself in an emergency. Then make sure that you have the necessary tools and spare parts. But the main thing is to learn what maintenance work must be done and how often. Thanks for another entertaining video, lad & lassie (or hinnie).
Love your sense of humour Sarah, pity grumpy Willie didn't appreciate it though 😂. Richard really is a fantastic friend, well done and look forward to adventures on the lakes. 😊❤
My father owned and built various sail boats and yachts over the last 50 years and always described owning a boat as being like standing in a shower whilst tearing up £10 notes.
As a boat owner, all I can say is that boats need constant maintenance. Engine needs regular services and thoroughly checking before and after each use. Welcome to money pit ownership 😊
@@karitrailbutz9273 my best advice to people who think they want a boat is to make friends with someone who already has one - at minimum you’ll learn a lot including whether you actually want a boat or want the idea of a boat!
I’ve been around boats all my life, mostly sailing and I can confirm that the second happiest day of your life is buying a boat. The happiest being when you come to sell it!
as a former small boat owner myself i know your pain. I think one piece of valuable safety advice i would give you would be to buy a small 3-4hp auxiliary engine for when there's a problem with the main engine - they're also far more economical to run but obviously much slower - you wont get onto the plane for sure !
I completely agree with this. Accidents happen, for example if the prop hits a rock you can sheer the pin and you're left with a working engine that has no drive. Get a couple of oars too.
When I went to Scotland for my holidays on the West Coast of Argyle. I was amazed at how many boats in the harbours had two or even three engines. When I look at films or documentaries of WWII MTB boats or RAF launches in the engine room is two diesel engines kicking out tons of Horse Power to get the boats home! 🚢
Richard really is a jack of all trades, although after watching him doing your shed roof I should say he's a master. I'm glad your engine is fixed and look forward to some boat related content.
Hi guys, its definitely worth picking up a wee vintage Seagull outboard as an auxiliary, you can get perfectly good working ones for around £100 or so,a wee bit noisy and a wee bit smokey, and you'll not be breaking any speed records, but it will get you out there and back again if the main outboard ever acts up on you.
Every boat owner I know feels your pain. When you can't afford a new boat, all manner of exciting little mishaps are common. I've been there! It's all a part of the "joy" of boat ownership.
Oh Willie! Didn’t have you down as a panicker!🤣 Be positive man! And don’t give up on the boat what ever happens over the next few weeks! You’ll. be like an old pro soon enough!😂😂😂😂 Loved the video. Richard is truly a legend xxx
Hi guys, once again another great episode, as smooth as marshmallow, 😁. I used to live in whitby and helped my friend fix his cruiser £££££... Glad you got yours working again, wee pups is looking well as do you both, stunning scenery as usual, and a wee dram, lovely. Richard as usual great help👍👍.. Rope rescue great job Willie, can't wait to see some lobsters!!!... Till next time. Cheers, Rob fea Dunfermline!!
Richard is worth his weight in gold! Please take care on the water people I am enjoying these videos so much and don’t want anything to happen to you and Jack Spaniels! Loved the robins Sarah!
The opening calm before the storm is such a beautiful sight. A common comment I hear from boat owners is the two best days of your life are the day you buy your first boat, and the day you sell it.
Around 6pm Sunday we suddenly remember we have a Skye Life video to watch and that makes our evening even better. Thank you! Willie- could you perhaps do a video about your music making? Interested to see what that involves.
Excellent job cleaning your bit of Skye foreshore of abandoned rope, Willie. Too bad about the difficulties with the boat. So happy that you and Sarah were able to get the boat fixed. Thank goodness for Richard’s help, as well as, the boat man’s.
Spare engine for the emergency bracket. Follow Dangar Stu. Service the engjne, the carb the lower unit and all the rigging. It’s all doable and no need for professionals which is expensive normally. Service is Job#1 Spare motor is job #2 For reversing, put your hand on the *bottom* of the steering wheel, then just move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. You can practice without the boat on your lane. Then you’ll be pros in no time.
The person you bought the boat from may still have the manual that came with the engine when it was new, it would be worth asking. Preventative maintenance is much better than hoping for the best. I expect that an online search will help you find the maint. procedures you need. The more you get to know your engine by looking after it and making adjustments when required the less you will have to worry about.
Awww! Poor Captain Willie 🤣I've a feeling all will be well! just don't go out too far til your're sure! it was probably not used for a while and really needed a good run & service, fear not! and Richard to the rescue again! man that guy is a complete legend! your new world is teaching you about true friends and patience! those wee birds were so cute Sarah & so close! & great weather, it's been bucketing down here (Stirling😆) since forever! Good Luck this week! 😉
Yet another thoroughly engaging peep into your idyllic life. The addition of having a boat will undoubtedly bring you countless days ahead of extra fun and memories. Enjoying a few wee drams at dusk whilst gazing into the flames of the fire pit is priceless too. I wish you continued good fortune. 🤘
You know,I could comment on how I love the way you guys say the word ‘cow’,and I could comment on how a boat is a live/hate relationship,and I could comment on how Richard is a force of nature,and I could comment on the semi-functional oats,but,no. I must adress the fish heads. Ok,sure,you freeze them for use in your lobster pots,fair enough. But next time that you find yourselves with a surplus of fish heads,boil them in a soup. Fish head soup! It’s the eyballs and the cheeks and collar,right by where the gills were,it all comes together into a delicious almost gelatinous delicacy. It’s true! That,and a bit of nice crusty bread,AAAAH ❤️
You might be wondering what semi-functional oats are. Well they are certainly packed with good healthy fiber,I’m sure,but I meant to say semi-functional oars,which are also,presumably,packed full of good healthy fiber,but I wouldn’t recommend it for breakfast.
Well the lobsters are the lucky feasters then! Until they become the feast,that is. Seriously,fish head soup is an ancient delicacy,the Romans even feasted on it! Oh wait: the Romans ate some Wierd shit. Ok maybe you’re right🙄
Oh! On a related note,Roman-wise,last night I prepared a meal of chorizo,cucumbers,blue cheese and olives that I cured by myself,using a 2000 year old Roman bronze knife!
Ah, boat life. It's a lot like the weather in places like Skye and Alaska (my home). You really have to remember how good the good days are for it to make sense on the bad days. Dinna fash Willie, you'll be a right outboard motor diy-er in no time, and you guys will be having glorious days on the water before summer is done 🩷
Great video as usual. Next time you fit and riveted items to your boat (or car) consider putting some sealant under the fitting before riveting. For a car this prevents rust, on your boat it should seal it better.
The only experiences I have had with boats were in Alaska. We had a 21 foot aluminum river boat that "flew" swiftly along the rivers to our favorite fishing spots. It was interesting to learn to "read" the river (which shifted all the time) so as to stay in the channels and avoid the gravel bars. We took it out into deeper waters, as well. I am so glad that Wayne was able to help you with your engine woes. Richard, too! He can now firmly add shoreline boat towing to his long list of skills. He is a GOOD friend! Much good luck in your boating adventures, Willie and Sarah... That glass of whisky by the fire looked very relaxing. May you continue to share such evenings always! Hugs to Jack!
You Two + Jack Spaniels are excellent, a total tonic for a Sunday! Felt so worried for W about the boat. He looked so upset. Hope it's all ok now. Thanks for another video :)
Sarah: I wasn't sure I would like the hair colors.... but honestly I LOVE it! Almost as much as Willie's courage to apply it 🙂 Thank you for sharing your adventures.
I was so frightened you were going to conk out on the water Willie. I am so pleased you got the boat back on the trailer and had it fixed. Can't wait to see a video of you fishing from it and see what you catch. Thanks for another lovely Sunday evening of your adventures as I so look forward to them. Love to you all including Richard cos we can't leave him out can we?❤
They say that the happiest days with a boat, are the day you bought it, and they day you sell it. We have lived the boat drama....it is heartbreaking. When you get one that runs, it is so much fun! We have had the same boat for 6 years now. Good luck!
Hi guys, great video, entertaining love seeing the robins again we had them eating bits of flapjack from our hands when we were talking to richard so cute,the robins were cute richard is so cool 😎🤙.So glad willie is stress free now and got his boat back up and running again. Can't wait to see what you catch and cook. Cuddle for jack spaniels.sue&mark.❤
It's always nice to have good friends that can help out in times of need. And in turn, i'm sure that you will be able to help them out when in need. Always, Thanks for your content it's always nice to see people's different ways of life. You live in such a beautiful part of the country, I'm sure a lot of us could say, We envy you. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along.
More challenging to deal with boat but you’ve got Guru Richard to help and fingers crossed for not getting too much issues ! Lovely blue sky with spectacular view indeed.
Hi guys and senior woof x, another wonderful program.. How funny are you all.. I was giggling away. Now seen Inverness in a different light.. A must try.. Love the bloopers.. Always funny... Cause everyone is like that with a vino or craft ale..?!!.. Great to positive places encouging dogs OK, BUT bit strange ref post office turn down.. Mmm.. Anyhoo love everything you all do. Cheers 🥃👍🍺👍🥃🥃🥃🍻🍻🥂👍👍👍Rob.
The calm before the storm. Part of what we love about your channel is you share the best bits (and, really, mostly it is "best") but the not-so-best, too. Sorry, Willie, about the boat issues. Nothing more disappointing than a dream achieved, and then (even temporarily) dashed. At least the engine was fixable and it's full steam ahead. Bring on the fishing and lobster pots. Oh, and totally impressed by the unravelling the ropes. I struggle to untangle a string of Christmas lights! LOL
great relief the boat engine is fixed! looking forward to the fishing expedition video (assuming there will be one!). the birds in the beginning stole this show, though--quite fearless in the search for treats! cheers!
It's a good idea to pop your picked raspberries into the freezer, flat on a tray, for three minutes. You'll find a few worms crawl out, better than being the unplanned meat course...
Excellent news on the boat. Well done Wayne and top man, Richard. The fire pit looked great. Sitting outside in the summer months is food for the soul 🥰
There’s always teething problems ... and issues to overcome ... that’s what makes the good things worth having. You’ll get there. Look how far you’ve come 😀. The boat will sort out and bring you joy. You ended up catching 3 fish. Sitting by the fire pit in the evening with that gorgeous view. Totally envious 💚
Ps. Sounds like a wonderful community on Skye ... and you’re building up a lovely friendly support network ... and you can’t buy Crunchies on Skye - might shout myself one here in Melbourne today
Hello from Montana, USA! You all are so fun to watch! Don't worry about the motor! From here on out very regular maintenance will eliminate much of you engine troubles! I wish I could join you fishing in you magnificent Yacht!
Happy that the boat engine could be repaired! It’ll be nice to watch you both and Captain Jack Spaniels enjoying some awesome boat time. I’m sure I wasn’t the only person wishing I could join you for a drink around the fire pit at your beautiful Skye Cottage. See ya next week! 👋 ❤
Oh I'm so glad it was such an easy fix! My old man loved his boat. Best advices I can give you, get a license (if you don't have one already, so you know the rules & laws), ensure your radio works (if none, buy a goid one), and ALWAYS, and I do mean it, always check the marine weather. We almost lost our lives, the only time my old man didn't check the weather.... Also a trick for reversing and towing, put you hand down at the 6 o'clock on your sreering wheel and turn right if your trailer neds to go right, turn left if your trailer needs to go. It won't be so confusing then. Practice makes perfect :) Sarah, you'll have to paint your new friend!! And how about Jack???!!!
Aww so sorry for the stress with the boat glad it’s sorted now what a friend you have in Richard always ready to help out that’s worth a king’s ransom how cute to see the robin feeding it’s baby and how good of Jackto gather kindlings all tc till next time the oldies 🤗🤗🤗
Hello willie and Sarah, I think willie was brave to help you with your hair coloring. He did a great job, I think the color of orange is the artist in you Sarah. I think the color of orange kind of grows on me, as I watch more of your videos. I wonder what the hair color of golden brown color would look like with your dark color hair? But I'm sure you've tried all different kinds of hair colors. And they are all unique in choice. Glad Willie was able to get the boat repaired without having to replace the engine. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great morning there. That robin was cute. Nice wild raspberries. Not good to hear the boat giving problems. 😞 But glad it is fixed now and all is good. Lovely day out there in Skye.
We have been hand feeding a fledgling for a while now and it's so cheeky / relaxed it hops around the kitchen looking for food! Curiously out of the four or five chicks we had this is the only one that will do this - the others are still too skittery to do this (though a couple will feed from our hands).
Well done the three of you for getting the boat out and the engine fixed, I love the new boat cover what a great idea! Your fire pit is fabulous, how cozy and fun.

mmmhmmm a Crunchie nom nom
@@fredlasiter4456Do you want just any old pirate or does it have to be Depp?
It's lovely that your vocabulary is getting Scotified while up here , it's so nice to hear...
Yay for fixed boats, wild raspberries, good friends, beautiful skies on Skye, fire pits, and pups!!!
My first thought was get Richard! He is a very good friend.😊
Great video as always, loved watching the robin parent and baby. Jack was living his best life as usual.
Oh Willie! Didn’t have you down as a panicker!🤣 Be positive man! And don’t give up on the boat what ever happens over the next few weeks! You’ll. be like an old pro soon enough!😂😂😂😂 Loved the video. Richard is truly a legend xxx

Very glad the engine was fixed and the smile was back on Willie's face..Once again the Skye legend Richard came to the rescue..Best wishes
Boats - grrrrrrrr don’t ask. But hey if you can handle the constant repairs it is a whole heap of fun. The cottage looks absolutely lovely.
First time I seen Willie stressed, and a little short with Sarah 😮 but got there in the end lol😊
I liked seeing that because it is keeping it real! Human emotions come and go in waves! ❤
King Richard of Skye .... glad boat sorted.
I loved the robin family!
Richard is worth his weight in gold! Please take care on the water people I am enjoying these videos so much and don’t want anything to happen to you and Jack Spaniels! Loved the robins Sarah!
The opening calm before the storm is such a beautiful sight. A common comment I hear from boat owners is the two best days of your life are the day you buy your first boat, and the day you sell it.
I felt exactly like that when I brought a 40 foot narrowboat - the bits in between were pure hell!
BOAT
Bring On Another Thousand . 😂🎉
Haven't you heard? The 2 happiest days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy the boat, and the day they sell the boat!
Sarah-you're so calm and lovely- we appreciate your dodgy puns even if Willie doesn't :) xx
He was laughing too - I was intentionally winding him up though 🫢
Around 6pm Sunday we suddenly remember we have a Skye Life video to watch and that makes our evening even better. Thank you! Willie- could you perhaps do a video about your music making? Interested to see what that involves.

Spare engine for the emergency bracket. Follow Dangar Stu. Service the engjne, the carb the lower unit and all the rigging. It’s all doable and no need for professionals which is expensive normally.
Service is Job#1
Spare motor is job #2
For reversing, put your hand on the *bottom* of the steering wheel, then just move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. You can practice without the boat on your lane. Then you’ll be pros in no time.

You know,I could comment on how I love the way you guys say the word ‘cow’,and I could comment on how a boat is a live/hate relationship,and I could comment on how Richard is a force of nature,and I could comment on the semi-functional oats,but,no.
I must adress the fish heads.
Ok,sure,you freeze them for use in your lobster pots,fair enough.
But next time that you find yourselves with a surplus of fish heads,boil them in a soup.
Fish head soup!
It’s the eyballs and the cheeks and collar,right by where the gills were,it all comes together into a delicious almost gelatinous delicacy.
It’s true!
That,and a bit of nice crusty bread,AAAAH ❤️
You might be wondering what semi-functional oats are.
Well they are certainly packed with good healthy fiber,I’m sure,but I meant to say semi-functional oars,which are also,presumably,packed full of good healthy fiber,but I wouldn’t recommend it for breakfast.
Haha we did wonder for a second!! Thanks for the tip, but I’m afraid gosh head soup really doesn’t appeal to either of us…🤢
Well the lobsters are the lucky feasters then!
Until they become the feast,that is.
Seriously,fish head soup is an ancient delicacy,the Romans even feasted on it!
Oh wait: the Romans ate some Wierd shit.
Ok maybe you’re right🙄
Oh! On a related note,Roman-wise,last night I prepared a meal of chorizo,cucumbers,blue cheese and olives that I cured by myself,using a 2000 year old Roman bronze knife!
Loved the little Robin. I'm sure you will get to enjoy boating and fishing soon 😊
So glad you got your boat sorted. Thanks to Richard and Wayne. So glad you got some fishing done. Great video
Jack Spaniels is the best little helper I’ve seen in a long time! What a good🐾boy🐾!❤TN Nana

Great work Wayne and, as always, Richard. So pleased you have a working engine and a great new cover to keep unwanted items out!
Thank you for a another great vlog. Delighted the boat problems weren’t to complicated or expensive. Richard is a treasure of a friend. 😃
So pleased to meet you and Willy and Jack spaniel. I think you’re my kind of people. ❤
You Two + Jack Spaniels are excellent, a total tonic for a Sunday! Felt so worried for W about the boat. He looked so upset. Hope it's all ok now. Thanks for another video :)
It’s sure great to have a “Richard” in your life!
Sure is - though I keep thinking he's Dave off The Hairy Bikers lol
Richard just hangs back and watches Willie's antics. It is a great partnership.
he’s learning the way i was taught 😂told what to do and get on with and if he doesn’t get it right just do it again 🤣🤣🤣🤙🤙🤙
B.O.A.T. Bring out another thousand.

Glad boat all sorted was getting worried for you guys love watching you journey. Richard is a good friend to have around ❤❤😊
So relieved that the engine could be repaired. How satisfying to get the boat cover done. Look forward to seeing you out on the water soon.

Aww thanks haha! We love doing them too 😅
I just love your positivity, even when things are not going according to plan! The robin and baby were beautiful !!❤️

Oh, and totally impressed by the unravelling the ropes. I struggle to untangle a string of Christmas lights! LOL
great relief the boat engine is fixed! looking forward to the fishing expedition video (assuming there will be one!). the birds in the beginning stole this show, though--quite fearless in the search for treats! cheers!
Argh! What a palaver with the boat.
It's so fab how the community mucks in to help out. Well done Richard and Wayne!
Always fantastic to help wildlife and yes our black berries this year are enormous 😊👍🇬🇧
Again Richard is a G-D send.
Very good news Wayne to the boat help.
Loved the fire pit! Sorry for the boat troubles, you guys have a great friend in Richard!
It's a good idea to pop your picked raspberries into the freezer, flat on a tray, for three minutes. You'll find a few worms crawl out, better than being the unplanned meat course...
Love it both of you and Richard and the man that mended your boat xx
Excellent news on the boat. Well done Wayne and top man, Richard. The fire pit looked great. Sitting outside in the summer months is food for the soul 🥰
There’s always teething problems ... and issues to overcome ... that’s what makes the good things worth having. You’ll get there. Look how far you’ve come 😀. The boat will sort out and bring you joy.
You ended up catching 3 fish. Sitting by the fire pit in the evening with that gorgeous view. Totally envious 💚
Ps. Sounds like a wonderful community on Skye ... and you’re building up a lovely friendly support network ... and you can’t buy Crunchies on Skye - might shout myself one here in Melbourne today

Hello from Montana, USA! You all are so fun to watch! Don't worry about the motor! From here on out very regular maintenance will eliminate much of you engine troubles! I wish I could join you fishing in you magnificent Yacht!
Richard is a legend 😊
Whaaaaat would we do without Richard?!
We don’t want to think about that..!!
If that is the only repair you will be very lucky. Beautiful scenery
Happy that the boat engine could be repaired! It’ll be nice to watch you both and Captain Jack Spaniels enjoying some awesome boat time.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only person wishing I could join you for a drink around the fire pit at your beautiful Skye Cottage. See ya next week! 👋 ❤
The segment around the fire was wonderfully relaxing. Sorry about the boat!
Oh I'm so glad it was such an easy fix! My old man loved his boat.
Best advices I can give you, get a license (if you don't have one already, so you know the rules & laws), ensure your radio works (if none, buy a goid one), and ALWAYS, and I do mean it, always check the marine weather. We almost lost our lives, the only time my old man didn't check the weather....
Also a trick for reversing and towing, put you hand down at the 6 o'clock on your sreering wheel and turn right if your trailer neds to go right, turn left if your trailer needs to go. It won't be so confusing then. Practice makes perfect :)
Sarah, you'll have to paint your new friend!! And how about Jack???!!!
Aww so sorry for the stress with the boat glad it’s sorted now what a friend you have in Richard always ready to help out that’s worth a king’s ransom how cute to see the robin feeding it’s baby and how good of Jackto gather kindlings all tc till next time the oldies 🤗🤗🤗
Just seen this. Sorry to hear about your boat woes! Knowing your tenacity, you two will prevail. Glad you had some good times by the fire pit x
Boats sound so romantic but the reality is a whole other thing!Have fun with your boat!
Wow...what a nail biter glad you got the boat fixed! Hi to Richard. Have a good week.
At least the engine was repairable. Surely saved you a bundle. I hope you have good life jackets and proper oars. Safe fishing! 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Wayne, well done lad, thank you !
Hello willie and Sarah, I think willie was brave to help you with your hair coloring. He did a great job, I think the color of orange is the artist in you Sarah. I think the color of orange kind of grows on me, as I watch more of your videos. I wonder what the hair color of golden brown color would look like with your dark color hair? But I'm sure you've tried all different kinds of hair colors. And they are all unique in choice. Glad Willie was able to get the boat repaired without having to replace the engine. Thanks for sharing this video.
Great morning there. That robin was cute. Nice wild raspberries. Not good to hear the boat giving problems. 😞 But glad it is fixed now and all is good. Lovely day out there in Skye.
Great episode. All the elements: drama, comedy, an adorable dog, wildlife and berries, plus the timely intervention of a good friend.
Well done everyone who helped you,now you can go out on the water and get back safe x
Great vlog...............
Yay more foraging! And the robins were so adorable~ happy that the boat is up and running again, looking forward to more boat adventures!
We have been hand feeding a fledgling for a while now and it's so cheeky / relaxed it hops around the kitchen looking for food!
Curiously out of the four or five chicks we had this is the only one that will do this - the others are still too skittery to do this (though a couple will feed from our hands).
Well done the three of you for getting the boat out and the engine fixed, I love the new boat cover what a great idea! Your fire pit is fabulous, how cozy and fun.
Always remember to put the plug in the boat! That's my advice from experience! 😉
