    It's criminal that these chaps only have 300 subs, they are hilarious and very natural, definitely like a Top Gear on the water!

      Thanks very much. Im sure if we were able to get videos out more often it would pick up, but we all work full time, we all have kids, its all a bit of a challenge to get out. Doesn't bother us though, we do it for the fun!

      @DevonFloaters I wouldn't have either.
      But ford's are not great, everyone in the trade avoids them for good reasons lol.
      Yours will be fine though I'm sure 🤣

      Oh bless your little cottons thinking anywhere on the south coast is even in the same league as the bristol channel... where we have the third biggest tidal range in the world...

      That was not a bad day and a Axmouth is not a patch on bideford bar these guys did it at high tide on a good day and made a big thing of it. Iapreciate that all bars are dangerous and yes they should go to your bar a on a bad day 😂.

      Yes, it was indeed a good day at high tide. Would be a bit stupid to try it otherwise with the equipment we have... but never say never!

      Sam has an excel volante 330 (3.3m) with a 15hp 2 stroke, and Dave has a freesun 270 (2.7m) with a 6hp four stroke. We also have Chris who has an xcape 4.0 (4m) with a 6hp four stroke.

      15hp... you definitely got the power to weight ratio.

      @@DevonFloaters indeed! plus the wife works night shift over the weekend and also needs to sleep so when he wants to have a play date with his friends it’s also a possibility he may not be.. what you call “allowed”! 🤣🤣🤣 did tickle me a little though 😂

    • @DevonFloaters
      @DevonFloaters  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ridiculous excuse. 8 hours work, 8 hours sleep, 8 hours left in the day. Tide and weather rule out the majority of weekends entirely, so one weekend day out of the 8 a month to go have a 'play date' is hardly a sacrifice. Especially when time with friends has been proven to help reduce stress, anxiety and make general improvements to both mental and physical health. In psychological circles it's a known amd growing problem for men that they are spending less time with their friends than ever. iaap-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/aphw.12475
