This is the most idyllic, beautiful and smooth trip we’ve been on with you and SB2! Thank you as always for taking us with you! Have great weekends one and all!
My pleasure!
Definitely recommend the Dartmouth boat hire!! such fun
@@AQUAHOLIC😅😅et 😅
Now this is what I call a wonderful day on the water, relaxing, enjoying the scenery and life. It doesn't get much better than that. Thank you Nick for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Slapton Sands a lot of history around this area! Loved seeing it from a boat view as only been along that coast many time in my car 👍
yes,what a beautifull scenery !!
Hi I just found your channel. I love your boat. And you scenery is not what I've imagined the uk to be btw I'm in florida us with a 27 Regal
@@8560mkkem Welcome aboard! 😃
What a lovely part of 🏴 England
Yep, agree with your comment on the convenience of a smaller boat. Big luxurious cruisers are beautiful and the image of that lifestyle is so tempting, but if you just want to get out on the water there is nothing better than a boat you can just hop in, turn the keys, and go. Wonderful video Nick!
Thank you! 🙂
Lovely little trip. Enjoyed that. Thank you Nick 👌
All you can hear, lapping sea on the shore, the birds calling to one another, rustling of the wind, SB2 moving with the water.
Cruising along the coast admiring the colour of the sea, the beaches, houses basking in the sunshine.
Lazy hazy day as you potter around.
Thanks for that Nick, hope you enjoyed your day I know I did enjoy your video.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
What a fantastic time, thank you so much for taking us along 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Serene. Even a day on his own gets witnessed by a global audience! 😊.
He didn't have to film it, he himself decided he wanted some sweet views.
You remind me of the Water Rat in Wind in the Willows when you enthuse about boating,
“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
Great video!
I have that whole quote framed on the wall at home.
Suffice to say Nick, simply splendid. What a way to spend an afternoon. Thanks, once again, for sharing your own boating time and pleasures. It’s great to see the mega expensive yacht’s that are only accessible to a small minority of the world’s population but just goes to show how enjoyable boating that’s much more attainable to the rest of us mere mortals can be.
Very interesting about the headland sea state was, I believe it’s very similar around the Needles too.
Keep ‘em coming, very enjoyable watching.
Yes it can be, it's the same with a lot of headlands. I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Greetings from Marco Island, Florida! I am blessed to have a 42' Boston Whaler Center Console, triple Mercury 450Rs in tow... Great boat for offshoring fishing 10-20 miles out, sticking to the mangroves around the south end of the island or just cruising the canals up in Naples... Great fishing and lots of boats to check out. In Naples, my boat is a dingy! We're year-round boaters in South Florida and it NEVER gets old.
AWESOME! I tested one of those, there's a video on TH-cam somewhere.
Pottering about with boats and the water. The clanking of footsteps on the pontoon, the movement of the boat when you board. It's a happy happy place ! .. 😊 🇬🇧
Absolutely!
Nick... if there's ever a day you think your work isn't important, consider this. I was laid up in bed and/or a a wheelchair in the hospital since my leg quit working on June 27th. I was in the regular hospital for 5 days, and a rehab hospital after that until this past Sunday. I'm now getting "home health" as they call it here in the U.S. to get my right leg working again... using a walker and a cane as I can. Your videos kept me going and honestly, destracted (in a very good way) while I was laid up in the hospital. Thank for for making me smile through these dark times for me. I mean that.
Wow! I'm so glad they helped and I hope that you are on the mend. 🙂
Not a power boat man sailing is my passion I sail a 45 year old Moody 33Mk2 1979 since new enjoy your videos unfortunately I am not sailing this year as I am being treated for Multiple Myloma cancer and medical team have banned me for this year roll on next year. My advice to anyone is go and enjoy your simple pleasures while you can as you never know what is in store.
@@andrewkenny4633 I'm sorry to hear that. The Moody 33 is a great boat, hope you're back aboard again soon.
From Australia - very nice to see you take your boat out and enjoy a one handed trip. Well done Nick.
"Utterly brilliant that what's boating is" couldn't have said it better myself Nick 👍🏻
Thanks as always from Colorado USA!
Hey there Colorado USA! 😃
Thusly - another fantastic journey on Smuggler's Blues 2. Many thanks for sharing your time on the water. 🤗 🍷
My pleasure!
Thanks 😊for the 🛥️ ride!
My pleasure!
A Grand Day Out! Half a century ago I sailed into Dartmouth on board the Sir Winston Churchill, but the harbour wasn't so busy in those days!
Thank you Nick for a wonderful day out. It really felt I was on your boat from start to finish.
My pleasure! 🙂
I'm sitting in my flat in Istanbul watching this. But thanks to your excellent video, Nick I'm back in UK spending 40 very enjoyable minutes on the water. Teşekkür ederim as they say here, thanks so much.
You're very welcome! 🙂
Don’t know how I missed this one. What a magnificent afternoon.
Ouch! That’s told the current Sunseeker design team!🤠
Summer at last - a trip on the Dart - what could be better!!!👌👍
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for taking us with you Nick. The forecast says (rare) glassy conditions on the Med this weekend, so I'm looking forward to stretching the legs on my Cranchi Clipper on a longer-than-normal trip east along the coast
That's a great looking boat!
Absolutely fantastic. I am on the South Wales coast but we don't have the coastline that you have down there on the South Coast, it really looks almost Mediterranean where you are. A different world. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing Nick 😊
It's a pleasure! 🙂
Great nostalgic trip up the Dart and beyond Nick,I was stationed at BRNC,RM band,and also worked at Phillip and son as an engineer great times,thanks for that.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely boat and location Nick, really enjoyed watching you pottering!!!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
🦘🇦🇺 Thank you Nick for such a wonderful day out on the water. Such beautiful waterways. Thank for lunch, it was beautiful. Chardonnay was just the thing.
Summer days for me are spent on Sydney harbour, from Parramatta to Manly with lunch at Rushcutters Bay. All on ferries both large & small, all for $2.50. I’ll try out Lake Macquarie this year & see how that goes. 🛟🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Nick calls out boats like a car guy calls out cars. What a beautiful day! A few months back I went on a vacation to Mexico and an excursion on a catamaran and absolutlely loved it, all my Aquaholic videos came to life.
Fantastic!! 😃
Salcombe in a few weeks,hire a little open boat with a 15hp Tomatsu, up to Kingsbridge,pint and a pie at The Crabshell,and for a few hours I’m Don Johnson 👊
Absolutely love these kind of videos Nick - thank you. Got my permis bateau/level 2 licence a few years ago in Antibes and I'm heading down to Hyères/Toulon next week where I'm renting a 7m 140hp RIB with some friends - cannot wait! Please keep this kind of content coming!!
Fantastic! Enjoy..! 🙂
Fantastic day to vibe on the water 😎
What a perfect day for it!
Another great video on your fabulous boat 👌🏻 cheers
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff, Nick 👍
These days are why we boat, however we boat, as you say...
I wish you fair winds, and following seas...
Thank you! 🙂
Love these videos where you show the practical side of boating, taking the covers off, cleaning, etc. great video Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
When i used to go on day trips to France I always went on the Ferry, for me it was the most enjoyable part of the trip. I love being on a boat.
When the Sun shines in the `UK there are absolutely stunning landscapes or seascapes, beautiful. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Absolutely!
Nice day for a potter 👍
Just catching up on your channel again, been busy getting a new to us boat, more like the Birchwood alongside yours, a Broom Ocean 37, an oldie but in good condition just waiting for the registration papers to clear and then we can bring her home. Read your article on the Ocean 37 and it giving a favourable review, it ticks all the boxes for us, river and canal capable and also useable on the coastal waters too.
Welcome back!
If it was me I'd spend all weekend just enjoying a lovely boat you lucky boy ❤
Loved it, it’s so relaxing to get out on the water. I was super jealous to see you enjoying the sunshine and beautiful scenery.
Thanks for sharing you’re trip out with us Nick 👍👍
🤞we will get out on our boat too this weekend, perhaps a short cruise into Windsor from Windsor Marina 👍👍
Awesome, enjoy!
Wish I was with you we had a 60 ft x 10ft canal boat and I miss it greatly. Nothing like pottering about on the water. 🤩
Never got the hype surrounding boating until my friends forced me into it and I haven’t looked back since. There’s something about it that I can’t explain, but it’s just sublime. Nothing like a day on the boat! I’ve got a Sea Ray 510 here in America on the Chesapeake Bay and I’m on it almost every weekend of the summer! Salute from one boater to another!
Wow, great boat!
Hi Nick, I've been watching your channel for the last 5 years, my first time writing. I would really enjoy having you be on your boat and identifying the boats passing by with your knowledge and anecdotes would be nice, I enjoy the idea. Keep up the good work and salutations from Montreal QC.
Hey Montreal! I'm glad that you are enjoying the channel. 🙂
Nothing better then to see the pure joy boating can give. Btw. google maps has updated the satellite view - great picture from the marina and I think we can even see Smugglers Blues.
Fantastic, I'll check it out!
Fantastic spin out Nick 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the boat ride, beautiful day
This was very calming the sound of the water the scenery everything 👌
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
LOVE IT NICK👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾.BOATING ALL DAY EVERY DAY👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Well that was a lovely days boating around beautiful Dartmouth coastal scenery. So idyllic that's proper boating. Thanks Nick 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Thank you for a bit of enjoyable relief after coming back from a funeral this lunchtime. Also thank you for turning west/ south West from Dartmouth estuary. Lovely to see the coastline from that perspective. Great Nick👍
I hope it helped 🙂
Great to meet you today Nick (thanks for taking the time to chat) and to see Smugglers Blues. Another great video - hard to beat the scenic Devon coast when the weather is this good! All the best, Nick
Absolute pleasure Nick, love the Moody 35, great boat from an era when they built them right.
Those conditions are what you hope to find on every outing. Of course, things seldom line up so ideally, which makes when they do, so ripe for appreciation! I LOVE BOATING! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Thanks for watching! 😃
I truly love your channel. It is so authentic thank you for making me love boating and yachting I've learnt so much from you. Keep it up.
You're very kind 🙂
Wonderful had a old Shetland Suntrip 50 horse it planed well, came out from Radcliffe farm slipway back Poole harbour through the sticks showing channel and out past Brownsea Island , days in shell bay with the family, around into swanage , can almost feel the movement of the boat thank you for the bringing back the memories and feelings of those summer days in the sun.
They were great boats!
Off to Florida in a few weeks with my wife and children. Will be spending a day on the water. We are renting one of those uniquely American pontoon boats for a day of sightseeing, exploring and swimming.
That will be fantastic!! 😃
Great video Nick, you are responsible for my wife and I taking up boating! We tried to get into Noss late last year, no room, so we are now at Brixham and loving it🙂 keep the videos coming and all the best👍
That's fantastic!! Enjoy! 😃
The coastline is really beautiful.
It’s nice to see what going starboard out of the Dart looks like. Thanks for sharing.. that was a really nice potter ✌🏻😎✨🏴☠️
Thanks for watching!
Lovely pottering video. Glorious coastal setting. Dartmouth looks so tempting. And Start Point reminded me of when I was a small boy in 1972 and we anchored (?) off it having chartered a boat from Salcombe with family and others who spent the afternoon scuba diving.
Thank you some taking me on a great afternoon on the water. There’s nothing , absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Great day , good scenery. ❤
You got that right! 🙂
Stunning scenery. Nice to see a lot of boats out enjoying the fantastic weather. 😊
This is the kind of boat I would have. Plenty of value, plenty of speed, plenty of fun
Always nice to see her appear occasionally in your videos and the appreciation of the subscribers on your channel.
Thanks for sharing and have a nice sunday, Nick...
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
You need an Aquaholic stem jack for SB2! It would look very smart and remind viewers what channel they are watching.
Excellent potter. The last time I was on a boat similar to yours, was off the point at Starehole Bay, August 1999, for the full solar eclipse. We didn't notice the tidal movement but it did go cold and very quiet! There was so much flash photography along the coastal paths it was amazing.
People trying to take photos of the eclipse with a flash..! 🤦🏻♂️
I enjoyed every single moment of "our" boat trip and can only repeat it: the scenery is truly breathtaking. Thanks for the great time, Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Hi Nick, that was a lovely relaxing trip thank you for taking us along.
My pleasure 🙂
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to share your personal adventures with us, I know that many of us really appreciate the opportunity to go boating with you, it brings enormous pleasure to those of us that don’t enjoy the privilege of being on the water. Thank You Nick.
I appreciate that!
Wonderful potter thanks for take us with you.
My pleasure
The scenery of the river Dart is extraordinary….
That was amazing thank you nick for letting us potter with you the scenery was beautiful thank you nick.
My pleasure!
Wow, that was such a lovely day out with you 💕
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
That’s a perfect pottering nick really enjoyed that and perfect weather for boating thankyou .best wishes robert.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
As usual nick it's been an absolute pleasure accompanying you on a beautiful afternoon pottering about on Smuggler's Blues 2, in and around Dartmouth. Whilst the good weather is blessing us with it's presence we must take as much time as we can to spend time on our boats, as the good weather won't last indefinately.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What a wonderful video. Great way to start the day. A coffee and enjoyable video from Aquaholic!!🤣
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Well, you’ve done it again Nick! Treating me to another lovely day out pottering on Smugglers. I’m actually sat out on the patio in the shade, chilling and enjoying your video. Thanks again! Stan 😀🤓
Sounds perfect! 🙂
Once I was in Dartmouth at the Royal Regatta on one of the terraces on the hillside above the village, enjoying a lobster and scallop barbeque, when suddenly the Red Arrows thundered across the scene. I will never forget that. Love your channel. Greetings from Germany
The Red Arrows in Dartmouth were incredible! Stopped from displaying there now of course.
@@AQUAHOLIC What a shame! I have good friends in Buckfastleigh, but they will move to Portugal. Probably I won‘t return to Devon too soon
Love the Smuggler's Blues 2 episodes. This one especially shows why someone would want a boat.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Nick, you asked if we might be boating and if so did you talk us into it. We now have a Fletcher 19gts, and you most definitely talked us into buying her!
Your videos are truly inspirational and I can't thank you enough - not sure the bank manager would agree though!! 🤣🙈
That's awesome! The Fletcher is a great boat, very capable hull for its size.
Brilliant video Nick. You took me on a trip down memory lane as we used to holiday around there for a number of years when our children were much younger. Start bay on a beautiful English summers day is as good as anywhere. We stayed in Beesands once, there's a lovely pub, The Cricketers arms? and also a great seafood restaurant. We then stayed for years on the outskirts of Kingsbridge. We used to drive down early and park at South Milton sands for 8am in the morning! Bigbury on Sea is also a real favourite of mine. Slapton sands and Blackpool sands looked wonderful from your boat. Happy times 😄
Sounds great! 🙂
Wonderfully enjoyable.
Thanks for taking us along for the blissful potter.
My pleasure!
Thanks for taking us with you Nick, very enjoyable commentary, made me relax
My pleasure!
Yep, folk at the marina must think I'm bonkers with my wee Yamarin 50sc berthed there - but being able to walk up to the boat and drive off in a few minutes makes it all worth while.
Philips has got too expensive over the years for me. Am in Brixham now.
Thanks for taking us along on your outing.
Brilliant video Nick. It was nice to see you hang a right out of the harbour entrance, instead of a left towards Torquay. Beautiful coast line. I live on Gozo and the English coastline and countryside is the only things I miss.
Happy weekend, everyone 🥳 🇲🇹❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
A month ago I got my powerboat license and I was never happier than now. Will get a boat soon and my time to enjoy freedom and lunches on the water. I am renting boats for now to gain more experience before jumping on a more permanent boat.
AWESOME!! Go for it..! 😃
Absolutely love it ! I cannot wait till we start all that 👍😁🏴
Really enjoyed this voyage with you Nick on a beautiful day. Brought back happy days of boating with my dad.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Not jealous at all sat here in my office looking out over a very wet Buckinghamshire,
Enjoy your videos! I had a boat similar to yours for 17 years, gave it up in 2008. You bring back lots of memories of my time on the river!
Thanks for having us along. In fact your boat pottering video from a year or two ago on that baking hot summers day is one of my all time favourites and contains the classic NB quote ‘if you want a boat and you’ve got the money to get a boat…then get a boat!’
I remember that one! 😃
Excellent outing! Thanks Nick. Not as nice as being onboard with you, but it is so easy to get pulled in and enjoy.🎉 All you needed was a little Jimmy Buffet in the background!
Actually, there was a little JB in the background, but very quietly so as not to upset the copyright 🙂
The new boat next to you looks from the 90s , perhaps we could have a quick look.
Thanks Nicks. Always a pleasure joining a trip with you. I fear you are going to cost me a lot of money. How can you not search the ads after this?😂
Go for it! 😃
What a way to spend a day ,I dream of the days like that so relaxing your pride and joy that boat
Great video nick lovely weather and lovely boat.
By the way is that a new watch to the collection.😊
Ah, yes it is. It's the Spinnaker Boettger Automatic Midnight Navy Limited Edition
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍
I take my boat out every few weeks, by my self. cook up bacon butties, read, and have a nap. Any day on the water is a great day 👍
Looks like a fabulous day out! Thanks for posting...it definitely was a stress reliever just watching you enjoy a day on the water.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
This is a great video nice to get a video showing boat prep and a tour of the local waters. I didn’t realise how close you are based I am only at Falmouth in Cornwall
Smuggler's was in Falmouth on Tuesday! Video coming soon.
@@AQUAHOLIC Amazing! The CarrickRoads is a fantastic water way in the sunshine and calm sea’s very proud to call it my home waters. Look forward to seeing the video. Let me know if you’re ever around Mylor Harbour again I’ll get you lunch it’s a great cafe👍🏼
Living your best life Nick.....long may it continue!!
Thank you!
