This is not a channel about Climate Change, but as there have been numerous comments from people who reject the findings of modern science, perhaps I should make a few points here. The Earth’s CO2 levels were last as high as they are now from 3 to 5 million years ago. Homo Sapiens has been on the Earth only about 200,000 years. Human civilisation is less than some 8,000 years old. Modern science is perhaps only 250 years old. Modern agriculture is only some 70 years old. According to contemporary climate science, humanity has begun to radically alter the Earth’s climate. This is due to emissions of so called "warming gases" since the industrialisation of the 19th century, mainly CO2. The link between the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and global temperatures has been established for generations, and has been recently confirmed in the Vostok ice core research - summary here: www.e-education.psu.edu/earth104/node/1267 Within a timespan of only 100 years, global heating will flood major coastal cities and make vast tracts of the tropics uninhabitable by humans, unless we act immediately to cut warming emissions. Otherwise the resulting climate change will be impossible to adapt to without major trauma and billions of deaths. That the Earth was much hotter when dinosaurs walked the planet, is irrelevant. There were no humans then, let alone a complex modern civilisation based on modern agricultural production. It is surely unarguable that human civilisation is only sustainable within a limited temperature range. If you want to threaten to stop subscribing to this Channel because you reject the truth of modern science, then that is up to you. But please do not accuse me of being “political” when I mention it. The issue of Climate Change concerns anyone who enjoys the natural environment. Thank you for your attention. Now back to the sailing!
Roger, I've loved watching your videos for a long time and I'm really thankful that you're speaking about the fragility of the environment we're not only enjoying so much, but that we rely on. I wonder what many people consider to be the meaning of conservatism, if they refuse to conserve nature and, if you will, creation. Those who doubt scientic findings, without being scientists themselves, are just looking for a convenient excuse to carry on like before. If you wouldn't question a cancer diagnosis, why would you question 50 years of warnings by international climate scientists?
That's a good response but I don't believe any of it more than one accredited Source has given information on 12000 year Cycles based off the sun's solar flares there's other science out there and that's all I'm saying when you start dealing with science you dealing with something as corrupt as the United States government
I watch and watch each video you make and dream of the day my boat is finished and I can do this. I need this for my mental health to be free and enjoy the freedom of the sea. The pleasure your video's give are as you put is immeasurable. Another video please Roger.
Thank you for your outstanding ability to put me right there on your boat, such that i smell the salty breeze and feel the tug of the sail. I've spent years in small motorless sailing craft, in US waters, exploring estuaries and shallow lagoons, miles of it where yachts can't ever go. A sailor and expert chronicler such as yourself has earned the right to comment on climate change, or anything you see fit, and tell how it touches sealife seen intimately up close and personal, alone on a sailing vessel, spending nights inches from shore. Few on this earth are as qualified. Thank you for those reflections.
Just had a chance to watch this with my little boy. We both really enjoy your adventures and I think you may be inspiring him to sail one day too. We're trying to raise our children to be considerate of the resources they consume and their impact on the natural (and man made world). I believe encouraging children to enjoy nature and outdoor hobbies can build an appreciation for the natural environment and hopefully instil a desire to take care of it.
Hello Roger, I have been a loyal follower of your fantastic videos for years. I really appreciate you bringing up the climate issue as well. It's a big problem that will affect us all. I am sailing in the Dutch Wadden area and the consequences of climate change will also cause dramatic changes there.
Another masterpiece of camera-work & a reminder, if one was needed, of how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Thanks for taking us with you again & taking the time to film/edit the overnight adventure - very much appreciated
Now, why didn't it occur to me many years ago to think of dinghy cruising? What a lovely way to spend time on the water! A great channel of very informative and immersive videos! Thanks.
What a lovely video to watch on a lazy Sarurday morning! Thank you Roger for treating us with yet another view into the life on a small traditional sailing boat!
The realities of a changing environment cannot be denied. I live in Alaska and I am well versed in the loss of coastal communities to rising tides and how our salmon are impacted by warming ocean temperatures, and now our crab have run off looking for cooler waters, or perhaps it is the trawlers or?? I have recently begun to follow your videos and I enjoy my South Jersey skiff I recently purchased from my new friend Scott. I will have it out on Katechamak bay this summer - Thank you!
Thank you Roger for your insights on global warming and human impact on our environment. The discussion has for far too long been in the hands of politicians and those with vested interests. A simpler, less impactful way of living and recreating is a big part of what humans need, to reconnect with nature in both physical and psychological ways.
I always feel better for watching your adventures. They remind me somewhat of my own excursions starting when I was 8 years old in my little Bembridge Scow, pottering around the Solent. The simplicity is what is enchanting. Keep them coming!
So nice to spend some time with you in your boat. I and many others are feeling the sadness of losing what we have in nature. I call this future world “the other place “ and something that we’ll have to deal with compassionately. Thanks for your efforts in bringing these moments to us.
Some great comments Roger. Its scary when we think of our negative impact on the planet ... even each day ... with our consumer lifestlye , toxic cars , our daily waste , pollution of sea and land. Quite a worry. Not sure it will be addressed until it is profitable 🤔
Good to hear the environmental message. Too many avoid talking about global warming and the realities we face if we don’t reduce emissions and as you point out, what will happen even if we do stop now. Whatever our profession, lifestyle and pursuits, we are all in this together and must look at our role in it all and act accordingly, if not for ourselves, for our children and their children and the rest of biodiversity
So nice to see the everyday activities associated with dinghy cruising. So peaceful, contemplative, and meditative. Going from A to B on a trip is ultimately what it is all about, but there is so much to do at A and B, and it is all part of the experience. I would love to see you step and unstep your mast some day. Thanks Roger!
Another lovely video Roger. As to heating pastries on the Origo: You want to use a trivet of some sort in your pot. I have used everything from scrunched up balls of aluminium foil to a couple of wrenches. But the easiest thing to do is keep a collapsible vegetable steaming trivet onboard. Put your pastries, pies, sausage rolls on the trivet, put a lid on the pot and put your origo on a bit under half (too high and you will burn the pot!) It takes about 45 minutes or so to heat a meat pie and you will have nice flaky crispy pastry like it has just come from the bakery hot! 👌 You can also bake bread in the pot like this. As to climate change, I doubt anything will really change the path we are on until the rich start dying on mass in rich countries - which as you know is too late anyway.
@@RogerRoving yes even those frozen supermarket meat pies will get a bit crispy. About 45 mins to 1 hour for a meat pie or sausage roll. Looking forward to your next video 👍
Bonjour Roger ! Et merci à toi pour le partage de ce "dimanche matin paresseux" ! For information, in the Mediterranean, there is no problem with the tide... but the problem is that Brittany is not there! And if she was there, she wouldn't be so beautiful! Good winds, calm seas to you, Roger! Bon vent, mer calme à toi, Roger !
You are such a nice chap Roger, that I have no desire to argue with you over your views on climate change. You offer so much with your wonderful laid back videos. PS. That final bit of sculling and the music really finished it off beautifully!
It is the established scientific consensus. Don’t “argue”, just share with me a link to single scientific paper in a respected research journal that disputes the consensus on Climate Change. I put it to you that you will not be able to, because it is the truth, and attempts to discredit it are simply based on politically motivated commentary by people who have never done any solid research. But we’ll see. I think the space below left free for your link to a scientific paper will remain vacant.
Videography is excellent. Thank you for sharing these vignettes which fuel the dreams for my own voile et aviron when I retire in 1-2 years. These are the visual proofs of Ratty's Theorem (to Mole).
I've watched several of your videos, Roger, and never knew you had a tender behind! Useful little inflatable astern... Your videos are an object lesson: in my rare days afloat (19 so far in 2022) I find it hard not to keep sailing. I need to make more of the time spent at anchor, even though it is usually only on a familiar reservoir. I never quite relax into it like you manage to.
Agree with your comments on climate change. I used to worry on behalf of my offspring but now I'm starting to worry that it will seriously impact my life before that ends. I'm not optimistic I'm afraid, I feel completely powerless, and just try to enjoy nature while I still can. I also live in France btw.
Remember Al Gores predictions about sea level rises,they never happened,this is all another scam to stop you travelling,read UN agenda 30 ,it will explain everything that is happening and going to happen,because all our western governments have signed up to the agenda without asking if we want it or not.
Thank you Alex. The tragedy is how many deny it, particularly in the US where the issue seems to become politicised, even though the science is absolutely solid and established beyond any doubt.
@@RogerRoving Sad thing is Roger,that intelligent people believe the climate change nonsense,more,CO2 means more green vegetation,more people get fed,which is a good thing , hopefully you don't believe in useless eaters ,the same as the late Prince Phillip and most climate vigilantes.
Excellent video. Very good choice of music. Professional editig. It's like being accompanied by you. Roger, thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Hi Mr. Barnes! Thanks for share your experience. The global warming is a cyclic phenomenom, but certainly is gettin pushed foward by human production mode. Best regards from Brazil.
Great intro, marvellous photography - the crepuscular light, the striations of land and sky behind, the headland half in light half shade and then a lone sailor : it's like a painting by Caspar David
I didn’t comment on your dinner the last time I watched this, but those sausages looked pretty good! Also appreciated your comments on climate change. A well reasoned presentation, and anyone thinking your views are political, should just scroll on!
@@RogerRoving I know what you mean; a sailor has to deal with various annoyances. Many years ago we camped on Elliott Key in Florida we were treated to a sweaty hot night enhanced by clouds of mosquitoes. The air was thick with the insects swirling about in an undulating fog that limited visibility. It was impossible to sleep and the buzzing was everywhere. The skeeters could sting through a sheet. The good old days.
Hello Roger, I have just bought a Lugger, what do you do when you leave the trailer for several days to ensure its safety please? Many thanks for your videos.
It is desperately sad. But the natural world is under great threat. We cannot simply escape into it any longer to evade those worries. What it should do though, is encourage us to fight to defend it.
Another great video Roger thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I was very interested in your heater attachment for your cooker! I have the Origo 3000 in a 24ft yacht I'm currently doing up. I was thinking about installing a separate heater but your attachment for the cooker would work perfectly fine in my situation. Thanks again for the video keep up the brilliant work of inspiring people like me to get sailing. Gavin
Roger it’s easy to be philosophical about global warming, but you use a car, you cook meals, you heat your home in the winter, you buy things made from plastics, your food if it’s anything like mine comes in too much plastic wrapping, your milk comes in plastic containers which are one use while the old glass bottles were reusable, your waterproofs, your bedding, your waterproof bags are all man made fabrics, I could go on but we have created a monster of a way of life that we have lost control off. Really enjoy your videos, again special materials for your cameras etc. We are literally on a sinking ship and the best thing to do is try and rescue as many for eternity as Possible. Thanks
I love the adventure of the day + the routine of small boat travel but I don't like rocking and rolling all night. I no longer can drag my boat up the beach so its marinas and log booms now. I enjoy your adventures. Keep it up.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us subscribers. Please allow me to perhaps alleviate your concern over climate change. My suggestion is that you look at three graphs showing global temperatures and co2 concentration for three different time spans. The time spans are: 500 million, 2.5 million and 15,000 thousand years. They are easily obtained thanks to the internet and I hope you will find them helpful.
I defy you to share with me one peer reviewed article in a scientific journal that questions the scientific truth of accelerating manmade climate change over the past 150 years, (which is what we're concerned with). Not an irrelevance about the Earth 500 million years ago, but an actual piece of contemporary scientific research. Only one though - I'm making it easy for you. Please use the space below.
Thank you for your reply. I think you may be right about the existence of a peer reviewed article to share with you. The existence or lack of the existence of such an article however will not affect the historical climate record.
@@fredfinderandcrispin It's about rates of change. Earth has had many cycles of glaciation and deglaciation in the current geological epoch but the current warming is a bigger and faster departure than what our quarternary biome is used to adapting to.
@@mschmidt62 With only about 150-years of recorded, measured data, it's impossible to make such a comparison. The past data will always look "smoother". Also we're in an "interglacial". It could go either way, warmer or cooler. Life in general prefers warmer, by-the-way. As for peer reviewed papers, check out sites like "What's Up With That" or CDN, or read books by highly qualified scientists like Ian Plimer for suggestions. If the message comes from government bodies or the press, always be suspicious.
That was an appropriate video to spend a lazy half hour watching and taking in the experience. I deeply appreciate the environmental message too. When I regularly dinghy sailed up to 10-15 years ago, there was always a big moment for me where I would contemplate our ignorance and greed that would accelerate the loss of all this beauty. Although sailing didn't start me down the environmental cause, it certainly allowed me time and space to focus my thoughts. Once again, dinghy sailing especially is a great educator and pastime, in more ways than one. Thank you Roger.
@@RogerRoving Sad but unsurprising about the lost subscribers. I constantly worry about how I can make my life have less of an impact on the environment, but for many the thought of global warming just makes them defiant in denial and determined to waste whatever I have laboriously tried to save.
Thanks again for your video efforts. I know it's not a simple procedure, yet you make it look natural. I too have found this sunny weather strangely discouraging, combined with the fact that the global population just hit 8 billion which is unsustainable, makes me almost ashamed to be human. Now if I could just get a boom tent made and brave the cold Canadian winter. How cold was it when you were making this video?
@@RogerRoving Very warm in the sun here (Vancouver, about 8 degrees) but very cold in the wind and down to zero overnight. Thanks again, I've always been a small boat sailor and camper but camping on the boat itself is new to me and something you've introduced me too. Also giving up on little outboards which frankly have been the bane of my existence...except Seagulls, somehow they always worked. But what a racket!
Very nice video Roger. I might not agree with everything ... but I don't care. In particular I do find your adherance to boomless lug rigs not supported by logic or research. 😉 But I don't really care that our views might clash so violently. There is so much of value in the video that I don't care if there is a difference in our opinions or approaches. Keep up the good work in bringing the potential of something beautiful to a growing audience. 🥰
Hmm... I sail a boomless standing lugsail quite similar to Roger's. After five years and 1,000+ miles, I think it'd be fair to say that my opinion of it as a good rig for my purposes is supported by logic and research, both firmly grounded in experience. :)
@@tompamperin8575 Hi Tom, My reply was parody :) Some were suggesting they would stop listening because they disagreed with something that Roger said. So I was suggesting that boomless lugsails would not push me over that edge. That taking a small piece of the content and suggesting it makes the whole unworthy is just crazy.
@@MikStorer Arrgh! My first-ever reply to a TH-cam comment and I've stuffed my foot right into it, haven't I? I didn't even pay enough attention to see it was you I was replying to... Thanks for correcting me so kindly--much appreciated! I suspect that many sailors, more skilled and less lazy than I, might not be fans of boomless rigs--I'm not one of them, obviously! :)
Nice video, Rodger. Watched it on an absolutely foul day in Wigan and it fairly bucked me up. I very much like the look of those drybags. I guess they are pretty expensive but they are clearly a cut above the usual.
Por lo visto en Reino unido y en otros muchos países existen rampas para utilizar libremente por los ciudadanos aficionados a la navegación. Aqui en España es imposible, aqui todo es de pago. Las administraciones no nos sacan los ojos poque no puede,,, pero nos vacían los bolsillos. Me encantan tus videos Roger, gracias.
Just another very enjoyable video. Your comments about climate change are so true and obvious. Here in Texas we’re about to roast with 108 degree temperatures. But honest Roger I simply do not know what to do about it. Do I abandon my cars then how do I get groceries or see my doctors? And, if I could afford a horse, I don’t know how to ride. Boy we’re in a pickle.
Hi Roger, two points if I am not too late in this debate? Firstly I would have thought that the dinghy cruising arena was not a forum for political correct or any other kind of dogma for that matter - dinghy cruising is open, exploratory - and, when we meet together, interactive!. I take it that a love of dinghy cruising is the only common factor amongst us all. Civilised logical debate therefore becomes a potential for great joy and satisfaction. So I do not sympathise with those who leave nor with excluding anyone on principle. The other point that I would pick you up on is what I think is a self-refuting assertion that a lack of Papers indicates that the issue is beyond debate. The issue could not have been settled, nor become a consensus unless all the alternative points had been raised and answered. And thirdly, there can be no such thing as "settled science" ?!!!? ( - at least not in a universe where 95% of everything is "Dark" - at least not IMHO.....) FWIW, Frank
@@RogerRoving Do you have a scientific paper that states 2021 was the hottest recorded year on Earth? www.noaa.gov/news/2021-was-worlds-6th-warmest-year-on-record
Thank you for a splendid video, I really appreciate the time you have taken to set up shots , and seeing the minutiae of life aboard is interesting. Perhaps a small trivet in the bottom of the pan and a lid on top to reheat the pastries might work? The warm November is strange, and as you say, worrying. Merçi encore 👍🏾😀
I've really enjoyed discovering your channel, thanks for all the content you have produced! And, I just purchased your book - looking forward to reading your insights!
You're getting a lot of spam comments! I haven't had the courage to do any sailing since September (Golfe du Morbihan), not even in my dinghy on the Mayenne. I will go to the Ribineurs de la Rade de Brest next June with Sarum (Zef with Mirror rig) with her newly rebuilt rudder. Yes, there's a lot of condensation and you have a nice little heater that works with your alcohol stove. Well done.
This is not a channel about Climate Change, but as there have been numerous comments from people who reject the findings of modern science, perhaps I should make a few points here.
The Earth’s CO2 levels were last as high as they are now from 3 to 5 million years ago.
Homo Sapiens has been on the Earth only about 200,000 years.
Human civilisation is less than some 8,000 years old.
Modern science is perhaps only 250 years old.
Modern agriculture is only some 70 years old.
According to contemporary climate science, humanity has begun to radically alter the Earth’s climate. This is due to emissions of so called "warming gases" since the industrialisation of the 19th century, mainly CO2. The link between the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and global temperatures has been established for generations, and has been recently confirmed in the Vostok ice core research - summary here: www.e-education.psu.edu/earth104/node/1267
Within a timespan of only 100 years, global heating will flood major coastal cities and make vast tracts of the tropics uninhabitable by humans, unless we act immediately to cut warming emissions. Otherwise the resulting climate change will be impossible to adapt to without major trauma and billions of deaths.
That the Earth was much hotter when dinosaurs walked the planet, is irrelevant. There were no humans then, let alone a complex modern civilisation based on modern agricultural production. It is surely unarguable that human civilisation is only sustainable within a limited temperature range.
If you want to threaten to stop subscribing to this Channel because you reject the truth of modern science, then that is up to you. But please do not accuse me of being “political” when I mention it. The issue of Climate Change concerns anyone who enjoys the natural environment.
Thank you for your attention. Now back to the sailing!
I love this channel even more for talking about climate change. It’s happening, and we are all to blame. ❤

@@RogerRoving Sad thing is Roger,that intelligent people believe the climate change nonsense,more,CO2 means more green vegetation,more people get fed,which is a good thing , hopefully you don't believe in useless eaters ,the same as the late Prince Phillip and most climate vigilantes.
Always a pleasure spending time with you on Avil Dro! That was quite a breakfast! Also, really enjoy your closing music!
Excellent video. Very good choice of music. Professional editig. It's like being accompanied by you. Roger, thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Brilliant again Roger
Beautifully shot. A nice, relaxing lace. Thanks!
Stunning as always. It reminds me of the Carrick Roads but much less spoiled. Beautiful!
thank you roger, just what i needed at 3am to relax my thinking
Wonderful!!! Thank you!
Hi Mr. Barnes! Thanks for share your experience.
The global warming is a cyclic phenomenom, but certainly is gettin pushed foward by human production mode.
Best regards from Brazil.
Great intro, marvellous photography - the crepuscular light,
the striations of land and sky behind, the headland half in light half shade
and then a lone sailor : it's like a painting by Caspar David
"Crepescular" ... And I thought it was only a French word.
Thanks.
I didn’t comment on your dinner the last time I watched this, but those sausages looked pretty good! Also appreciated your comments on climate change. A well reasoned presentation, and anyone thinking your views are political, should just scroll on!
Very nice. The noises of the sea, and the sea birds, and the gentle rocking have a wonderful effect. Personally I don't mind a little rocking. Cheers
It wasn’t the rocking that was the problem. It was the up and down, that the GoPro doesn’t show!
@@RogerRoving I know what you mean; a sailor has to deal with various annoyances. Many years ago we camped on Elliott Key in Florida we were treated to a sweaty hot night enhanced by clouds of mosquitoes. The air was thick with the insects swirling about in an undulating fog that limited visibility. It was impossible to sleep and the buzzing was everywhere. The skeeters could sting through a sheet. The good old days.
Hello Roger, I have just bought a Lugger, what do you do when you leave the trailer for several days to ensure its safety please? Many thanks for your videos.
Thank you for this gem!
Thank you Roger, it's was very nice.
👍
Well this channel was a great escape from the madness in the world today. All things must pass i guess. Good tidings.
It is desperately sad. But the natural world is under great threat. We cannot simply escape into it any longer to evade those worries. What it should do though, is encourage us to fight to defend it.
Hi.
I love your chanel. Been watching for some years.
However so relaxing this time perfect!
All the best Malkuta
Спасибо!! I'm glad that you often have videos coming out again)) I look with pleasure! I am always inspired by you for my hikes and videos!
Thanks Roger, always a pleasure.
Another great video Roger thank you for sharing your adventures with us. I was very interested in your heater attachment for your cooker! I have the Origo 3000 in a 24ft yacht I'm currently doing up. I was thinking about installing a separate heater but your attachment for the cooker would work perfectly fine in my situation. Thanks again for the video keep up the brilliant work of inspiring people like me to get sailing. Gavin
Ah life aboard a dinghy. A constant state of moving things around. Thanks for the video. Josh
I’ve watched this twice already. Thanks for the videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
So relaxing Roger. Great video to watch following a busy workweek. Even liked the food channel aspect LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Roger it’s easy to be philosophical about global warming, but you use a car, you cook meals, you heat your home in the winter, you buy things made from plastics, your food if it’s anything like mine comes in too much plastic wrapping, your milk comes in plastic containers which are one use while the old glass bottles were reusable, your waterproofs, your bedding, your waterproof bags are all man made fabrics, I could go on but we have created a monster of a way of life that we have lost control off. Really enjoy your videos, again special materials for your cameras etc. We are literally on a sinking ship and the best thing to do is try and rescue as many for eternity as
Possible. Thanks
Amen, brother!
I love the adventure of the day + the routine of small boat travel but I don't like rocking and rolling all night. I no longer can drag my boat up the beach so its marinas and log booms now. I enjoy your adventures. Keep it up.
Hi. I only ever use the car to pull my boat up slipways.
Ah, what timing. Friday; pizza, wine, and Roger Barnes.
you certainly gave it your all
Quelle beauté. Calme et impressionnante et un joli doux réveil. Merci à vous.
What a cracking video, thank you Roger. Ben
Thank you Roger, always a boost to watch your informative and excelent videos. Merci beaucoup!
Wonderful, I'm re-reading your book at the moment and fitting out my Dabber for cruising in the spring. Can't wait. Thanks for the inspiration.
Always a great pleasure to watch, as always. Very nicely filmed and perfect music. Thank you.
I love lazy Sunday. Thanks
Very peaceful and relaxing. Thanks Roger.
Lovely listening to the water under the hull under your narrative with headphones on.
Thank you. I spend an inordinate amount of time on editing the sound.
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us subscribers. Please allow me to perhaps alleviate your concern over climate change. My suggestion is that you look at three graphs showing global temperatures and co2 concentration for three different time spans. The time spans are: 500 million, 2.5 million and 15,000 thousand years. They are easily obtained thanks to the internet and I hope you will find them helpful.
I defy you to share with me one peer reviewed article in a scientific journal that questions the scientific truth of accelerating manmade climate change over the past 150 years, (which is what we're concerned with). Not an irrelevance about the Earth 500 million years ago, but an actual piece of contemporary scientific research. Only one though - I'm making it easy for you. Please use the space below.
Thank you for your reply. I think you may be right about the existence of a peer reviewed article to share with you. The existence or lack of the existence of such an article however will not affect the historical climate record.
@@fredfinderandcrispin It's about rates of change. Earth has had many cycles of glaciation and deglaciation in the current geological epoch but the current warming is a bigger and faster departure than what our quarternary biome is used to adapting to.
@@mschmidt62 With only about 150-years of recorded, measured data, it's impossible to make such a comparison. The past data will always look "smoother". Also we're in an "interglacial". It could go either way, warmer or cooler. Life in general prefers warmer, by-the-way. As for peer reviewed papers, check out sites like "What's Up With That" or CDN, or read books by highly qualified scientists like Ian Plimer for suggestions. If the message comes from government bodies or the press, always be suspicious.
@@RogerRoving Just data over the last 170 years.

Well it was fun while it lasted Roger, goodbye and fair winds
That was an appropriate video to spend a lazy half hour watching and taking in the experience. I deeply appreciate the environmental message too. When I regularly dinghy sailed up to 10-15 years ago, there was always a big moment for me where I would contemplate our ignorance and greed that would accelerate the loss of all this beauty. Although sailing didn't start me down the environmental cause, it certainly allowed me time and space to focus my thoughts. Once again, dinghy sailing especially is a great educator and pastime, in more ways than one. Thank you Roger.
This video coincided with COP27, so I thought it was pertinent. Interesting that I have lost subscribers for the first time over this though!
@@RogerRoving Sad but unsurprising about the lost subscribers. I constantly worry about how I can make my life have less of an impact on the environment, but for many the thought of global warming just makes them defiant in denial and determined to waste whatever I have laboriously tried to save.
Well done, Roger! If only I were two, then I could subscribe again!
Thanks again for your video efforts. I know it's not a simple procedure, yet you make it look natural. I too have found this sunny weather strangely discouraging, combined with the fact that the global population just hit 8 billion which is unsustainable, makes me almost ashamed to be human. Now if I could just get a boom tent made and brave the cold Canadian winter. How cold was it when you were making this video?
It wasn’t cold at all, just a little damp from condensation. And that was concerning, as you say.
@@RogerRoving Very warm in the sun here (Vancouver, about 8 degrees) but very cold in the wind and down to zero overnight. Thanks again, I've always been a small boat sailor and camper but camping on the boat itself is new to me and something you've introduced me too. Also giving up on little outboards which frankly have been the bane of my existence...except Seagulls, somehow they always worked. But what a racket!
Well here in Melbourne we're still wondering when winter is going to end.
Very nice video Roger. I might not agree with everything ... but I don't care.
In particular I do find your adherance to boomless lug rigs not supported by logic or research. 😉
But I don't really care that our views might clash so violently. There is so much of value in the video that I don't care if there is a difference in our opinions or approaches.
Keep up the good work in bringing the potential of something beautiful to a growing audience. 🥰
Doubtless my rig is a crazy romantic affectation. But it is one that was shared by every single working fisherman in this area until just after WW2.
It is still not enough for me to walk away from your channel Roger :) Too much good stuff and I love the pacing of the videos.
Hmm... I sail a boomless standing lugsail quite similar to Roger's. After five years and 1,000+ miles, I think it'd be fair to say that my opinion of it as a good rig for my purposes is supported by logic and research, both firmly grounded in experience. :)
@@tompamperin8575 Hi Tom, My reply was parody :)
Some were suggesting they would stop listening because they disagreed with something that Roger said.
So I was suggesting that boomless lugsails would not push me over that edge.
That taking a small piece of the content and suggesting it makes the whole unworthy is just crazy.
@@MikStorer Arrgh! My first-ever reply to a TH-cam comment and I've stuffed my foot right into it, haven't I? I didn't even pay enough attention to see it was you I was replying to... Thanks for correcting me so kindly--much appreciated!
I suspect that many sailors, more skilled and less lazy than I, might not be fans of boomless rigs--I'm not one of them, obviously! :)
Nice video, Rodger. Watched it on an absolutely foul day in Wigan and it fairly bucked me up. I very much like the look of those drybags. I guess they are pretty expensive but they are clearly a cut above the usual.
Living the dream sir :) wonderful as always to come along on your adventures! safe sailing amigo x
Brilliant. Again.
Saving this for later when I need a break 👍🏻
Regarding global warming, I completely share your point of view
Very nice ,zeilen in holland is ook leuk IJsselmeer. ❤🎉🎉🎉🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Por lo visto en Reino unido y en otros muchos países existen rampas para utilizar libremente por los ciudadanos aficionados a la navegación. Aqui en España es imposible, aqui todo es de pago. Las administraciones no nos sacan los ojos poque no puede,,, pero nos vacían los bolsillos. Me encantan tus videos Roger, gracias.
Morning roger hope you well very much looking forward to see you in new video robert
Just another very enjoyable video. Your comments about climate change are so true and obvious. Here in Texas we’re about to roast with 108 degree temperatures. But honest Roger I simply do not know what to do about it. Do I abandon my cars then how do I get groceries or see my doctors? And, if I could afford a horse, I don’t know how to ride. Boy we’re in a pickle.
Hi Roger,
two points if I am not too late in this debate?
Firstly I would have thought that the dinghy cruising arena was not a forum for political correct or any other kind of dogma for that matter - dinghy cruising is open,
exploratory - and, when we meet together, interactive!.
I take it that a love of dinghy cruising is the only common factor amongst us all.
Civilised logical debate therefore becomes a potential for great joy and satisfaction.
So I do not sympathise with those who leave nor with excluding anyone on principle.
The other point that I would pick you up on is what I think is a self-refuting assertion that a lack of Papers indicates that the issue is beyond debate.
The issue could not have been settled, nor become a consensus unless all the alternative points had been raised and answered.
And thirdly, there can be no such thing as "settled science" ?!!!?
( - at least not in a universe where 95% of everything is "Dark" - at least not IMHO.....)
FWIW,
Frank
..... and fourthly (!?)
Outside of their speciality, every scientist is a layman - that makes it hard for us laymen to evaluate a scientific paper.
Climate science is not ”dogma”, sir. If I tell you this year is the hottest since records began, is that “dogma” too? No. It is simply the truth.
@@RogerRoving Do you have a scientific paper that states 2021 was the hottest recorded year on Earth?
www.noaa.gov/news/2021-was-worlds-6th-warmest-year-on-record
Thank you for a splendid video, I really appreciate the time you have taken to set up shots , and seeing the minutiae of life aboard is interesting. Perhaps a small trivet in the bottom of the pan and a lid on top to reheat the pastries might work?
The warm November is strange, and as you say, worrying. Merçi encore 👍🏾😀
A very good watch Roger...thank you.
I've really enjoyed discovering your channel, thanks for all the content you have produced! And, I just purchased your book - looking forward to reading your insights!
Brilliant video as always. So sad but true about our environment. I really think we may have left it too late!
Yes. It saddens me. Particularly the rejection of the truth of this issue by so many.
You're getting a lot of spam comments! I haven't had the courage to do any sailing since September (Golfe du Morbihan), not even in my dinghy on the Mayenne. I will go to the Ribineurs de la Rade de Brest next June with Sarum (Zef with Mirror rig) with her newly rebuilt rudder. Yes, there's a lot of condensation and you have a nice little heater that works with your alcohol stove. Well done.
Blasted condensation eh!
@@jctothel Not surprising in November as it gets colder...
@@romantiachristiana5147 exactly! I never know whether to live with it or do my utmost to fight it!
Merci pour ca petit sojourn, Roger
