Marvellous - When I started watching with my Wife 3 years ago, we thought it was all very aesthetically pleasing and plush with all these amazing boats, but more importantly we have grown to enjoy your trips for the journeys of the soul! We have two choices - keep watching you enjoying yourself or secondly get a boat ourselves (One day!!🤔) !!! Thanks for all your insights into a world we may never have considered 5 years ago Nick! All the best and thanks for great video 👍 Thanks to Gregg and his partner too, as the three camerapersons adds to our involvement 😎 HAPPY DAYS! ☀🐬🚤
They cost a fortune to maintain. They aren’t much fun when the weather is poor. BUT, when the weather is decent and you can get out and play it’s all worth it! Brilliant to see you enjoying SB2!
I don't think I've ever enjoyed myself on the water so much whilst being on land! I felt as though I was right there with you all the way 😃 What an absolutely blissful journey Nick, thanks so much for taking us along! Also massive respect for your excellent taste in music 😁 I was thinking as you were pointing out different boats along the way, about how bad I am at recognising builders/models of boats, and I wondered if you might one day be able to make a video on how you identify different boats. As a pilot I was taught with aircraft recognition to use things like placement of engines, position of wings and shape of fuselage etc to help differentiate aircraft from one another. I assume it's a similar thing with boats but wonder what the telltale features of a princess/sunseeker etc are. I appreciate it's outside of your format, but even if you could include little informative bits in your future videos about typical hallmarks of boat builders I'd be very grateful, considering your expertise in the field. As always I just love your content Nick, you're my absolute (pardon the pun) favourite TH-cam channel. Thanks for your marvellous videos and I'll look forward to catching you on another one again real soon 😃
Ah Nick you posted this up when we were taking our first proper trip out on our new to us boat, an 80km trip along the Bocholt-Herentals Canal, from Kerkhoven to Maasmechlen with the yacht club, 10 boats leaving at various days and times heading east and south. Ours was the oldest boat, a Placom 750, she is 45 years old, and we were last to leave. At a fairly steady 8km/h sog it took us 10 hours of sailing and an overnight stop in Bocholt, then 2 nights in Maasmechlen with BBQ etc and great company, then 2 days traveling back the 80km to Kerkhoven on the Kanal naar Beverlo. Only decision made over the extended weekend was that we want a bigger boat :) Great to see you out and enjoying yourself again Nick. Tomorrow, another day out and a tapas somewhere along the canal side now praying for some better weather.
Hi Nick. The other chain ferry I know very well, runs between Sandbanks and Studland in Poole. Would be nice to see you take your boat down that side of the coast. That will be an epic journey, along the Jurassic coast. Sitting here on Boxing Day evening watching this fabulous cruise, aboard Smugglers Blues. Maggie, the baggie is the luckiest baggie in the world. 🙂👍
Just what we need after a crap week get home 55 inch tv cup coffee and biscuits nick Burnham smugglers and dreams making memories enjoying life to the full you are living the dream nick and for us who don't have a boat we are totally enjoying your dream big thank you just what I needed ps loving the new sound system looking forward to the next one
Great video as always Nick, so glad you and greg can now play together in nearly equal machinery 👍I know that the D4 engine in Smugglers is newer. more fuel efficient and you get EDC but i have to say that turbo and supercharged straight 6 in Dreams sounds glorious. Thank you to you, Greg and Sally for bringing us along on your trips. hope you enjoy a season of calm seas and warm breeze.
I just love the enthusiasm. As you said boat size cost etc means nothing it seems the water has an effect of making everyone equal in their enjoyment of the day. Thanks
Great to see you out and about again in smugglers. I think a few people have said this but seeing g you out on the water and living by the coast makes me very envious. Have a great weekend Nick. K
Really enjoyable video Nick. Great footage taken by both Skippers and First mate. I had the absolute same feeling with my boat on her first trip out this year. All the hard work in the yard anti fouling, polishing, servicing my outboard pays off when you open her up and have the wind in your face! Thanks for the trip out. 👍🏻👏👌
A lovely bit of escapism and genuine envy on a Monday, for those of us without a boat (even if only at present). What a way to while away a day (for you) and an hour or so for us, to join you. Thank you.
I think I speak for many of us when I say how much we enjoy coming with you on your adventures. It is the closest we are ever likely to get to actually taking to the sea and the way you draw us into your world is magical. A great day much enjoyed. Thank you sincerely for sharing it with us.
Hello Nick. I’ve not commented before but, after watching this video of your wonderful day out on the water, I just wanted to say thank you. I felt as though I were there on the Smugglers with you. Your joy at being on the water is infectious. I’m sure I was bouncing up and down in my seat as you planed across the waves. 🤣 Thank you so much. I look forward to more of your marvellous tours and days out. Have a wonderful season and take the greatest care. Stan 😀🤓
Wow, what a boat trip. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. You can't beat Devon, especially love the River Dart and Estuary, Dartmouth and Kingswear. Great choice, At the River by Groove Armada, one of my favourite songs. Looking forward to your next boat trip. Thanks Nick 🌳 👍 😃 🌳
Reminds me of my friend and I on lake Michigan cruising around and venturing up the Milwaukee river to the pub! I know that feeling Nick top of the world!!!
Hi , I know how you feel the first good trip of the season , lets us all hope the wind keeps down and the sun stays out . Enjoy the season have fun and do not count the cost until the end , happy days . 😉👍👍💅to all for the day out . Keep them coming Nick and fun is just over the horizon .
FANTASTIC boattrip, and thank you so much for letting us be a part of it 😀 Lovely music, the very best of friends and a very beautiful scenery 😊GREAT 😊
Absolutely wonderful viewing not only the sound of low music listening to the water and of course the views, and seeing the joy makes it all worthwhile..Great stuff Nick liked the length of the Video too.Best wishes from Brisbane..👍
Absolutely brilliant video Nick, in my opinion one of the best you have done. So relaxing to watch, I'll be waching it again many times. I've been following you since you started, this year I will be launching my boat for the first time (1990 bayliner 2556 which I have done a lot of work on over the year) and will be looking forward to having her on her Hamble mooring and expoloring the Solent. Thanks for what you do!
I just came back from the CAPEVERDEAN ISLANDS.Im amazed how many small sailing n pleasure yachts i saw there who crossed the ocean.A lot of respect for the captains n sailors.CV 400KM out from the continent AFRICA.a lot going to the Caribbean n USA.Crossing during 25days for some.RESPECT👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾AQUAHOLIC #1 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
What a spectacular day you had! Seeing Brixham and Torquay built up around their harbours reminded me of my visit to Bournemouth several years ago, and then I checked the map and realized that it's just a little further around the coast from where you were. And cheers on your choice of music - my playlist would have been very similar on a day like that. 🥂
What a nice video, Nick! I am at my office in Argentina and cannot concentrate to get into my work for watching it! Very glad to see you back in the water and enjoying the Smugglers once again!
Couple of English lads out tooling along, boat slicing thru the water, wind in the hair but I was surprised you weren’t blasting Mick and the Stones wailing to “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”. I’d save the oldies classics for the way home. But you had a good run and you clearly enjoyed every minute of it.
Going home what a lovely sky, the sun across the water as it sets and the lovely deep nlue of the sea. The land rising up from the sea. Its dark at first then the green appears as you get closer into the Dart Estuary. Then the run up the river, the evening light on the buildings, the river and the sky. Thanks for sharing.
It’s always good to see a grown man enjoying himself like a child! Your joy came across and was infectious, thank-you
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
There are no superlatives, to describe the beauty of that coastline. Just amazing. Thank you, Nick. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Of all of your videos its these that make me the most envious, your own boat, great weather, friends and cruising around, bliss.
Spring is here! Great video Nick! Thanks for dispelling the rumor that all Brits have singing talent...😂🤣
No worries! 😄

Great to hear that you're enjoying them, and there is an Option Three - do both! 😃
Really enjoyed this session of you and friends spending the day on the sea. Really great. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
They cost a fortune to maintain.
They aren’t much fun when the weather is poor.
BUT, when the weather is decent and you can get out and play it’s all worth it!

You're very welcome! 😃
Only Nick can truly create an "onboard with him" experience for us followers.
Well yeah,because otherwise it’d be an “onboard with somebody else” experience!
@@K1lostream Kidneys, eh?
@@Coowallsky I wouldn’t be without’em.
Thank you for sharing the trip with us, Nick. I am looking forward to many more SB2 trips this summer.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
thoroughly enjoyed - again. These trips are a real tonic to those of us that live in land!
Glad you like them! 🙂
Good food, good seas, good company.....the perfect trifecta !
Nearly at half a million, Nick. Thanks for the ride.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Love your playlist Nick. 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
What an idyllic way to ease into a weekend!!!! Thank you muchly!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
A great day on the water. The boat goes well. Thanks for taking us for a spin. 🇦🇺 😊
My pleasure!
So too does Greg’s now.
Very well matched boats.
Great footage provided by both Captains
Probably the best video I have seen showing the the beauty and enjoyment of yachting
You're very kind 🙂
″Thusly″ LOL
What a gorgeous village. Almost like a CG movie scene.
A lovely day on the water.
A bit of Nick on Smugglers blues 2 ,what more can we ask of for on a Friday afternoon , perfect 🙂
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
All good stuff. Thanks Nick. The cruise ship. It looked like a ship. Not like the Bennidorm on barges.

You have the one of the most honest TH-cam channels on the planet.
Good fortune and keep providing the great vids.
You're very kind 🙂

Mirror dingy reminds me of my sailing days in the sea scouts based at Longridge (Marlow) on the Thames
I really enjoyed watching this, thank you. Had no idea Dartmouth was so pretty. What a lovely day you had, heavenly!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Your love of the water shines through Nick. Good to see you back out there. Great to have the weather too!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Great to see you all enjoying yourselves, great day out :)
Hard stuff first couple of trips on your own Nick but thanks for bringing us virtual sailors along, boat looks so comfortable in those conditions ❤
Cheers Nick! Life’s short, anchors up! The that Bruce Hornsby you!!
Great to see you out and about again in smugglers. I think a few people have said this but seeing g you out on the water and living by the coast makes me very envious. Have a great weekend Nick. K
Thank you, you too! 🙂
Very relaxing watching Nick mucking around on the water 💦
Looks like some much fun and music helps so much sometimes with a a good sound system's is right . and its only the beginning of the season :)
you can really go off some people... 🤣🤣🤣, Wonderful and great to see someone getting such pleasure out of being on the water. Keep it up
Really enjoyable video Nick. Great footage taken by both Skippers and First mate. I had the absolute same feeling with my boat on her first trip out this year.

"One handed, I'm used to that...one way or the other" 😂
We were with you all the way.. it’s as if we were on the boat with you. Thank you for sharing ✌🏼😎
Thank you for watching!
The UK is truly awesome. Those who have the ability to own boats of any size are blessed.
We agree!
Your tour videos make me think 'that's a cool boat', these types of videos make me think that I should really get (aspire for!?) a boat!!!
Go for it!!
A great video. Boating is living! Best regards from northern Norway. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome scenery, looks like a great day
Absolutely wonderful viewing not only the sound of low music listening to the water and of course the views, and seeing the joy makes it all worthwhile..Great stuff Nick liked the length of the Video too.Best wishes from Brisbane..👍

I wish I had been there. Love it in many ways.
Great to see you so happy.

It's so different watching your boat compared to my little springer, mostly speed wise 😂. But glad your out enjoying yourself chap.
Absolutely brilliant video Nick, in my opinion one of the best you have done. So relaxing to watch, I'll be waching it again many times.

Regarding your singing I wouldn't give up your day job just yet.
Another cracking video and you have me thinking about taking the plunge again.

Good Evening Nick These Video are simply the best I absolutely love them. Smugglers Blue2 looks brilliant.

I think I went on that boat several years ago. We were in Tahiti. It might have been Ponants other boat though.
Going home what a lovely sky, the sun across the water as it sets and the lovely deep nlue of the sea. The land rising up from the sea. Its dark at first then the green appears as you get closer into the Dart Estuary.
