    Wonderful videos of such a beautiful area. They give me such a feeling of tranquillity and remind me of a very happy holiday with my wife and daughter when we stayed at Dail Cottage on Loch Etive. 40 years ago. We had a 10 foot dinghy with a 5hp Yamaha outboard and our daughter still remembers when a squall suddenly blew up and spray covered her. She looked anxious so I reassured he saying what fun it was. It only lasted a few minutes and then peace and blue sky returned. Thanks. Peter

      Hi Peter ..I guess you might know but sadly Dail burn down around 5 years ago. I think it was a chimney fire and obviously the fire brigade couldn't attend ..the rest of the places are all still there though :-D

    I canoed most of this bit of Scotland when the A 9 was single track and the bridges wear all stone not concrete , same weather ( shocking lack of real Scotish weather ) . Never saw one tent or one pleasure boat in three weeks !
    Lots of nosy seals and friendly fishing boats , one came over specially to show me a beautiful blue green three foot plus lobster ,thank you sir one off my greatest memories .
    The life in sea locks was VERY DIFFERENT , the bottom was covered with busy brightly colored creatures , i was quite shocked how grey and bare it is now .

    You make such lovely relaxing videos Donny! A RIB and outboard really are the best way to tour the western coastline of Scotland and safer than kayaking or sailing as you can speed out of bad weather.

    • @donnywilcox
      @donnywilcox  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yup..agreed Stuart..I sometimes wonder about getting a Drascombe Lugger or small day sailer but as you say.. I would need long spels of good weather to get anywhere ..where as the wee RIB gets most places in a day 😀

    Another fantastic video, Donny! You certainly had the weather to showcase your filming skills and bring the sheer beauty of that area to so many viewers. My sister lives on the shores of Loch Sunart and it's such a beautiful place.

    A stunning part of the world Donny, thankyou so much for your hard work filming and editing to showcase what Scotland is all about. I was given a ten foot clinker dinghy to repair when i was 14 grampa gave me a sea bee 4hp outboard which he got with kensitas coupons (remember them) but was only allowed to explore loch lomond. I was always skint because I spent all my pocket money on petrol. im 61 now and how i wish i could have those days back. Keep up the good work. thankyou

    • @donnywilcox
      @donnywilcox  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sadly..I remember Kensitas coupons only too well..I smoked 20 fags a day for over 30 years.. but gave them up in 2005 and never looked back..couldnt afford to smoke nowadays..as well as the health risks ..I just have enough cash for petrol and keeping the boats going 😀

      Im sure the gold will be hidden / lost somewhere safe by now Libertas..although some folks find interesting stuff with metal detectors ..I found the magnet fishing relaxing but boring ..I never caught so much as a rusty nail..must try again though :-D

    Qaulity Donny! Castle Tioram is some sight...always let my imagination run riot when visiting these ancient strongholds. Theres a walk from the shore side of the castle..starts just across from the sand bar from the castle... Silver walk its called...takes you round to a large old fairly spread out settlement, which was part of the Clearances...i think. i found it eventually...fairly overgrown with some large trees but the hayfield still there and houses spread out down to the shore of Loch Moidart...easier to get to by boat than walking ofcourse....lookin forward to the next part of your adventure
