Greetings.....I am brand new to your adventure. I am starting from the beginning so it will take a bit to catch up. I think you are awesome will send you best wish and prayers.......
Watched this video a year ago we loved it that much we started researching the canal and set off from Cornwall and a adventure to the canal, we loved it that much we stopped and decided to stay up Scotland area for a year thanks for your videos and keep up the good work
My mum and dad like to reminisce about doing this in a westerly centaur in 1987. They also recall it pitching it down with rain the entire time and renting out baths in a hotel to finally get warm again afterwards. The water was brown apparently because it came off of the peat. 😂 I’m glad the weather was better for you even if I suspect your yacht is rather more comfortable than the poor centaur.Binge watching, I’m afraid. 😁
OMG ! I've found a brilliant channel to binge watch,👍 You're commentary, fact finding and presentation topped off with exemplary filming skills make for the best viewing. Well done, hope it lasts forever.
This entire trip has been really stunning, we’re honestly blown away with the epic landscape in Scotland 🏴👌🏴😬 Glad you enjoyed our little videos ☺️
Nice Ep... Think you had it all . Bit of history great drone shots lovely sounds fit looking skipper man with good looking legs ..... now lets get this SV into open water .....Much hugs safe sail guys... More please.
I'm glad you sorted out the starter, and your drone shots of Loch Ness were stunning. I like the history of the Scottish canals. Some of my distant relatives also wore the kilt, but alas I'm not sure they wore blue lipstick! Keep the videos coming, cheers from California.... 👍👍⛵
Sailing Cadoha talcum powder my friend...been there. Great channel but, as with all the really good ones...more is better. I’ve traveled all over but only two places call me back, Paris and Scotland.
I actually went to Scotland in 1983. Backpacking around Europe during college. I imagine a few things have changed since then. Beautiful country. Enjoyed my trip immensely.
I don’t think we were really prepared for just how stunning the place really is. What started off as an inconvenience (buying a boat all the way up in Scotland) has turned into us really wanting to come back and do it all again in the future! 😁🏴
Amazing! My only advice would be, if you can of course, is take your time😬. There’s a pub at the Loch Ness lock staircase which feels a bit like a ski chalet, if you can get the window seat in the corner of the pub, it frames Loch Ness and the mountain back drop perfectly!! Have a great trip 😬⛵️
The story of the canals history was so captivating (we thought) that we had to share it too. Glad you enjoyed it, now if only I could do either an Attenborough or Morgan Freeman sounding, narration voice 👌😂
Sailing Cadoha,Naa,Don’t worry about copying someone else’s voice,yours is just fine👍 Can’t wait to see where your adventure takes you,some real blue water is going to be great,best wishes😊
looking good watch out for nessy, dont want to know whats under the kilt guess thats the standing joke, just keep your leg down lol love your videos thanks a lot. thanks for the history part of my family line came from Scotland and England on my mothers side.
Nice one guys, shame not more sailing but best to get through to the sea again. Some good shots of a nice Rival 34 that seemed to be following you. I have a Rival 32 and run the Rival Owners Facebook page so I will share your video there, might get some more subs. Andy UK
FrenchAM100 Ah yes, a lovely couple and their little boat Rhum. They’d been sailing around Scotland for over 30yrs, and didn’t show any signs of stopping any time soon. 👌
Glad you enjoyed it. To be honest ,we have really enjoyed watching so many different people’s adventures, many of which inspired us to say “what the hey, let’s just go”. We thought it’d be an awesome way to kind of bring our friends and family along for the ride, and if some more people enjoy the adventure too, well the more the merrier 😬⛵️🥂
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. No matter how much editing we do, I’m always left feeling like we just never do this beautiful landscape the justice it deserves. ☺️
@@CadohaAdventures it's not luck it's capability and care. I'm sure I've seen your transom. I use boats in Port Hamble (the one with the berthing judging panel called Banana Wharf) and Mercury.
Ratus Bagus plus we had four of us to do the job, which certainly made it easier than the poor couple who were behind us, in their autumnal years, just the two of them, but they were seasoned vets, champions! 👌
Excellent, excellent video!! Amazing picturesque scenery, Loch Ness is a place on my bucket list, so much history just an exceptional part of the world...thanks for taking me along...again! Very enjoyable, again, loving the drone footage. Just a question, would Braveheart have had the same issue as you with the blue face paint??..sort of spoils the Scottish warrior image a tad (lol) keep safe and well...see you in Oz for a beer sometime!
I’m not sure if he used blue lipstick or not, he possibly had a better war paint recipe 🤷🏽♂️😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it and I certainly hope you get the chance to sail through the Lochs yourself one day 👌🍻
Looking forward to your travels, that boat looks like it should go places, unfortunately it seems to have gone backwards and forwards along the Caledonian Canal! ;) Any reason why you didn't head straight down the east coast? Hoping to bump into you guys in the hamble! Thanks for the video.
I think you’re right, she’s probably a little bit more capable than just canal cruising. There were a few reasons we took the scenic route back, mostly because it was just that, scenic. We weren’t sure when we’d have the chance to ‘sail’ through Loch Ness again, and fancied hopping over to Ireland for a Guinness etc, plus we love Cornwall and really fancy popping in there too before we get home 😁 On top of that it meant we had more time with Eddie, to give him half a chance of making sailors out of us 😂
I had no clue either that you could get a bluewater sailboat into Loch Ness. The imagery is beautiful, but I have to wish that you had talked a bit more about what being there was really like. Did you make any stops? Were you only there for one day? If overnight, what were the anchorages like?
Hello there. We sailed right through loch Ness and then the locks were not operating when we got to the other end and so moored up and went to the pub. You can only go so far at a time as the locks take a long time to get through and they stop at about 5pm each day, so it took about three days to actually get through the Caledonian Canal. Beautiful place, highly recommend a visit bu boat 👌🏻👌🏻⛵️
Hello there, yes it’s a Trident Warrior 38, as legend has it, the first one ever made. She’s a very roomy (beamy) boat for 38ft and we really like her too.
No we didn’t. To be fair the canal was built originally for much bigger boats than ours, also e don’t actually have a very deep keel, our draft is only 2.5m. But the ‘shallow’ parts of the canal are 15ft deep and then the likes of Loch Ness was too deep for our depth equipment to work anymore, so no worries to get through a sail boat. 👌⛵️
Hi, great videos, thank you for sharing them. I keep my boat in Denmark but have always rather fancied the Caledonian canal so seeing it like this is really interesting, Out of curiosity, what cameras/drones are you using and how easy do you find it to land the drone back on the boat if you’re moving? I recently bought a DJI Mavic to do something similar but the thought of ditching it in the sea has put me off so far!
Hello there. We posted a link in the description of the exact drone we use, it’s the Mavic 2 Zoom. Now we bought the Mavic 2 Zoom without ever really thinking through the whole idea of flying off of a moving boat, and I have to say, it’s been one hell of a steep learning curve, and we’re probably pretty lucky to still have the drone (not crashed it). In short, now I’ve flown a few times from a moving boat, if I could buy my drone over, I would likely buy one of the DJI Phantom drones, because they have legs which make catching it much easier. Don’t get me wrong, the zoom is awesome, it allows us to take close up shots (like on the beach with all the seals on) without actually getting dangerously close to our target, and it folds away nicely to make it really compact and easily portable, but, the VERY BIG but is the fact that when you catch a Mavic, your fingers are worryingly close to the blades, now add in a moving boat to that scenario, and it gets a bit hairy, pretty quickly. I was thinking about making a mini video to talk about all of the things we’ve learned which have helped us. So far..... 1) take off and land from the back of the boat, moving away from the drone means that you have just that little bit of extra screw up allowance, if you make a mistake, as opposed to heading towards the drone, which would leave you a much smaller margin of error. 2) practice catching the drone with a partner on dry land, a lot, add in movement perhaps, like walking and catching. 3) turn the bottom sensor off or else you won’t be able to catch it, as the drone will try to fly away to avoid ‘hitting’ you. 4) don’t panic if you left your sensors on and flip it into sport mode, which turns ALL sensors off (like we did), because sport mode makes manoeuvring the drone slowly, close to impossible and instead it makes very sharp and fast movements, making an otherwise already stressful situation even more stressful. 5) never fly with less than 100% battery, and come in to land with no less than 50% battery, you will likely need many attempts to catch it, and even if you don’t, knowing you have all of that ‘wiggle room’ in terms of battery life will take just a tiny amount of stress out of the situation. 6) when you come into land, again make sure the bottom sensor is switched off, slow the boat right down as much as you can, and also switch the Mavic drone into T (tripod) mode, this is the slowest flight mode, and by far the smoothest and easiest to catch. 7) in your drone settings, turn the yaw sensitivity to the lowest setting, this not only helps with filming smoother shots, but again, means you’re less likely to make fast, jolting movements when someone is trusting you not to cut their fingers off when trying to catch your drone. I hope those tips help you if you’re brave enough to give it a try. I haven’t found the nerve to fly it with the sails up yet, still need more practice landing it when moving as a reasonable speed first, and like the flexibility of just shutting the engine down if I lose my confidence at any point.
Hey guys, I don't have a drone, but I have seen where other vlogers like Delos prefer to launch and land from there dingy. I don't know how you'd do that solo or while sailing with just one other person, but...I hope it helps. Great video and great editing...Braveheart 😜😂😂 I also love the music. 👍👍👍
@@CadohaAdventures you can extend the mavic undercarriage ..theres a host of options on google too buy or theres also 3d printable options including floats for landing on still water :)..great vids btw im living my dreams through them for now
@@CadohaAdventures ... you are correct, we hand a DJI Phantom 3 since 2015 and do Not see how anyone flies off a Sailboat without the legs 🦵 to catch them with...!!😱🤭🤷🏻♂️
Thomas Telford was commissioned to explain why the Highlands were suffering from such huge emigration and "The concerned government incentivised people to stay by building the canal" ....wow, that's quite some explanation of The Highland clearances and British colonial imperialism 🙄 FFS
We were only there a couple of days and that was the local history we managed to pick up about the canal on route. Either way, the people who dug that canal, using only spades, were tough as nails.
We learned more about “Loch Ness” on here we Didn’t know before, BRILLIANT...!! Good show✅

You need to visit the Redeau canal in Ontario from Kingston to Ottawa. Another great British accomplishment.
OMG !
I've found a brilliant channel to binge watch,👍
You're commentary, fact finding and presentation topped off with exemplary filming skills make for the best viewing.
Well done, hope it lasts forever.
Really been enjoying the last couple of videos with the narration & beautiful cinematography - it looked stunning.
Happy sailing.
This entire trip has been really stunning, we’re honestly blown away with the epic landscape in Scotland 🏴👌🏴😬
Glad you enjoyed our little videos ☺️
I had no idea you could actually sail across Scotland! This is so high on the bucket list now! Thanks for sharing :D
I’d be lying if I said all that much actual sailing got done, ha ha, but even under motor, it’s a breath taking short cut! Do it!!! 👌😬
Nice Ep... Think you had it all . Bit of history great drone shots lovely sounds fit looking skipper man with good looking legs ..... now lets get this SV into open water .....Much hugs safe sail guys... More please.
Ha ha, glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Fear not, we’ll be out in the open ocean in no time 🤞😎⛵️

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I now know that if you’re going to wear it, there’s at least a two day walk of shame to follow, with a pink face 😂

@@CadohaAdventures I think it's your character, joie de vivre and ease with each other - also your editing skills!
Scotland is a spectacular country. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

I was so scared the wind would blow right up yer kilt lol🌬⛵😎 Great video. Such beautiful scenery. I'm truly amazed at that canal system.
We're on our way up to the Caledonian Canal right now and your images are getting us so excited....gorgeous footage!
Amazing! My only advice would be, if you can of course, is take your time😬.
There’s a pub at the Loch Ness lock staircase which feels a bit like a ski chalet, if you can get the window seat in the corner of the pub, it frames Loch Ness and the mountain back drop perfectly!! Have a great trip 😬⛵️
Us too and loved every minute of it
God bless you ALL
I was totally hoping to see Nessy in this video! Lmao. Love what you guys are doing! So envious

Glad you like them!
Absolutely love it. You blend two of my most fervent loves; Scotland and Sailing. Alba gu brath!

Really enjoyed the video could have watched more...heading that way soon..Ta.
Then I have to say I’m envious of the journey you’re about to head off on, because I too could of easily spent much more time here 👌⛵️🏴
