welcome back Mike, great vid, dont give up sailing we love the channel too much, and missed your episodes of pure escapism for most of us. look forward to the next .
Great to see you back Mike, really good to see how to run with "light airs" Keep Swallow and lets have more of your exploits... Thanks for sharing your work.
@@sailingcosiloveit Excellent News! she is far to nice to get rid of! BTW do you have tempurature readouts onboard?, would be nice to get an idea of how your sailing adventrures feel .
Sometimes put the temperature up on screen but only normally when I think it’s of use. I’m an outdoor sorter person and I feel the cold 🥶. That’s how I ended up with Swallow in the first place.
thought youd maybe have sold your boat with you not posting all summer although summer did,nt happen not many good sailing days ,,great to see a new vid from you yay, always interesting your thoughts on navigation as go along 👍
Was close to the point of selling Swallow but I’ve passed it now. Getting my act together and getting on with winter maintenance. Hope next year provides some good sailing. 👍
Well we all know the song about “Alice !” I was about to replace it with “Mike -Mike who the F is Mike ?” 😢😅 Glad to have you back on board old boy don’t go.being a strange again even a vid on your winter laying up will be interesting 🤔 Chrs Malc uk 🇬🇧
Hi Chrs Malc, your one of those people who hear a song on the radio in the morning and have it stuck in their head all day 🤣 There may well be something on my winterising coming up at some point. Regards mike
So glad your back Mike. We learn a lot from you. Only had our yacht one year and the summer was naff, so still not done much. It’s in Deganwy. Was hoping to bump into you….we have so many questions 😬🤩
Hi Amanda, I’m sure our paths will cross at some point, Swallow’s out of the water in port dinorwic at the moment. Winter jobs and a bit of a break for her. See you sometime mike
Nice to see a new video with you ! Last summer I finally could get our boat back in the water, and we sailed for 1 month from Brittany to Jersey and back. There is no better therapy in my book ! I believe rough years come with getting older, so you need a strong antidote ! Hope this beautiful Swallow keeps working for you ! 😎
Great video. I think we have the same attitude to sailing, it's always more challenging and satisfying than motor boating. Thanks for posting your adventures
@@sailingcosiloveit I was hoping that someone would bite, you didn't. Sailing outside Sydney Harbour, I made the passengers don flotation gear. Them: "Why aren't you wearing anything?" Me: "If I go overboard, we're all dead anyway." Glad to see you back on the water.

Your really too kind, think we can all be a bit entertaining on the water. Until next season eh. All the best mike

Swallow’s looking after me as always mike

Sandy
Cheers Sandy, not a lot of late I know. Regards mike
You took your time getting this one out !
Hi Mark, had a corrupt memory card. Didn’t think I would ever get out off it.
Need new cameras really think mines near done. Better late than never 🤣
Great video. I think we have the same attitude to sailing, it's always more challenging and satisfying than motor boating. Thanks for posting your adventures
All you need is time and you can sail anywhere with a little effort. Lazy dayz hmmmm
Many thanks

Auto correct is a pain in the bum 🤣
@@sailingcosiloveit haha!
Thanks, lovely views.

What Westerly model is she?
Hi La Manga, Swallow is a Scanyacht 290. You can find details on her and a walk through in my past videos. Cheers mike
You have been missed Mike. Best regards from Jarle
Cheers Jarle, nice to hear from you mike
Great to see you back. Did I see your boat up for sale ?
Not been the best year and was going to give up but think I’m getting past it now 👍 mike
please stay with it if you can; there aren't many of you left on you tube, and I love sailing too; even tho it's only vicariously. @@sailingcosiloveit
👍
nice pegs❤
Those pegs are hard working and a very important part of Swallow’s inventory 😁
Sailing trimmed is satisfying.
Disappointed that you're not wearing safety gear in those conditions.
I’m getting really bad a spotting a joke these day but here goes 🤣🤣
@@sailingcosiloveit I was hoping that someone would bite, you didn't.
Sailing outside Sydney Harbour, I made the passengers don flotation gear.
Them: "Why aren't you wearing anything?" Me: "If I go overboard, we're all dead anyway."
Glad to see you back on the water.
Cheers mike 😁
Ah, magic. I can watch while eating my supper.🙂
Enjoy while you enjoy!
@@sailingcosiloveit I did indeed - thank you very much.
😁
