- Finally spring arrived in mid April , so I service the Quicksilver 420 Alu hull Boat and 25Hp outboard before heading to sea. I enjoyed a lovely day going round the Island of Scarba ..going through the Corryvreckan and Grey dogs on the way. Hopefully the first sea adventure of many this year.
Great filming. Wonderful to see Scotlands scenery in such crisp clear weather. Thankyou for another fine video.👍👍👏
Thank you Donny for a wonderful video. i sailed pass the Corryvreckan when i was a passenger on the Shetland Trader merchant ship over 20 years ago.Best ever Holiday .
WOW. Stay Safe!! But for videos like this, one day this beautiful landscape and this history will be gone replaced by changing tides and moving earth.
Fantastic video Donny, love that area, not been through the corryvreckan / grey dogs on my own boat yet but have done so with Seafari a couple of times on springs for added fun….your trip has made me excited for the better weather and conditions 👍
Better weather here now Libertas..I was out with Seafari last weekend on the Easdale RIB Run.. that video now on line too ..worth a look 😀
Fantastic weather Donny good drone footage too Craig’s set up goes well, nice trip for the quicksilver’s first outing👍
Great video Donny but looked a scary at times .
Not a place for the faint of heart graham..but Im often in it so very used to its often unpredictable ways 😀
Thanks for posting Donny, as usual amazing filming and nice to see some nice weather (Unlike it is in Yorkshire)
Weather has improved quite a bit now up here Ian..hope its getting better in your land too 😀
Pick your tides used to take family to cullipool on luing for our holls took our zodiac through the grey dog and corry always picked the tides and it was just a trip we liked to finish with afternoon tea on garvellachs still remember the beehive cells and the little head stone. But in the seventies and eighties did a lot of paddling and camping around Jura, Islay Mull etc with the kayaks we would take on the choppy bits doing pop outs in the grey dog, still got the slides great times with a bunch from Durham kayak club ( where have we all gone now)
Thanks Donny, another lovely watch
Thanks Alex ..appreciated 😀
Magnificent scenery ....and music as usual. A treat to watch, thanks Donny.
Thanks kingkong ..just uploaded another video ERR 2024..I was very happy the way the Pirates of Carribean music went with it..worth checking out 😀
Lovely video again. Nice drone views of the islands. It looked a bit exciting skimming across the whirlpools. I see that Inveraray Pier opened last weekend. Thought that I might see you in the footage!
Its a while since I have been on Loch Fyne david..but the better weather is certainly getting me out and about more 😀
Thanks Donny, a treat to watch indeed.
Thanks again Stuart ..appreciated😀
Nice one Donny! Ye were buzzin on that trip...
Im still buzzin kevin..good weather and I have been camping several times..and off for the weekend again tomorrow 😀
@@donnywilcox Aye...enjoy man i know you will
Stunning as usual Donny 👏
Thanks 123boat..season is now well started and Im getting plenty boat..camping time 😀
Outstanding and Awesome post, and very much enjoyed. ❤
Thanks SeeScotland ..much appreciated. Now the weather is getting better there should be plenty more videos soon 😀
That was a calming watch as I had my morning coffee. Thanks for taking us with you and showing us places most of us can't easily get to.
Thanks liam..delighted you enjoyed it 😀
Many thanks for that superb video, Donny! I loved the drone footage of Belnahua in particular as it brought back memories of me exploring there when I was a young boy...many many years ago.
Glad you enjoyed it colin.. I was on the Easdale RIB run this weekend gone by..so check out that video too 😀
Really enjoyed this one Donny, we sail this area many time over a season and great to see it from your perspective. Never been through the Corryvreckan so good to see it up close 👍⛵️🏴
Thanks Frank ..hope we were not upsetting the sail boats last weekend ..78 RIBS hammering down the sound of Jura ..that video is now on line so check it out too 😀
Great to see the boat untroubled by the tricky tidal conditions!
Yup..its a fine wee boat oldgittarist ..and will handle rougher water than I can ..but we get around no problem and thats what matters 😀
Great film with a good mixture of fun on water and stunning drone footage, plus educational. Again Thx Donny
Many thanks for the kind comment terence 😀
Thanks for the video.
I've wanted to see the Corryvreckan ever since I lived in Lochgilphead,over 40 years ago.
Iam now 61,in Yorkshire,I think this video is the closest I,ll ever get.
Awww,,its well worth a visit if you get up this way again alan Seafari do trips through it from Easdale and they often go in it when I stay away..but their tour boat has two 300HP outboards ..so nothing to them 😀
@@donnywilcox Right,so you never know?
Like many people i feel privileged to see your escapedes up n doon the waters with scenic views of landscape inclusive, However,that trip had my jam tart racing and worried I'd do something childish when i saw they frightening tides around you both. Lots of thanks for original product with a birds eye view all for free to enjoy. Great stuff.
Thanks rha4374 ..it can be a daunting place at the wrong tide ..but its not so bad as Im local and know it well..however I still treat it with a lot of respect ..it doesnt give second chances 😀
@@donnywilcox Hiya Donny, Thanks for taking the time to reply, and better you than myself in these waters. Did you manage to do the rib run last week? I just had a call from my son Calum to say how much he enjoyed the day but unfortunately due to fog the Sunday was cancelled and he returned home a tad earlier. Perhaps I'll have to borrow a rib for next year, and I'm still struggling to renovate my wee boat mainly down to the costs of materials nowadays so I'm just doing it grudgingly slow progress. I'll look forward to the rib run video when it's out on TH-cam. Thanks again.Robert.
@@rha4374 Hi again Robert..I have just uploaded the ERR video ,,so you can see what my camera saw and see for yourself. It was a great run on Saturday ..just a shame it was misty ..but the flat sea made up for it 😀
Brilliant wee video. Definitely got the good weather. Hopefully many more to come.
Thanks jim..yup..weather has improved and Im doing lots of boating and camping so plenty more videos to come 😀
Brilliant again Donny, thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks Neil ..appreciated 😀
Wow! Sunning video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks bigbeano..delighted you enjoyed it 😀

Another great video Donny. Many thanks
Thanks again bob..appreciated 😀
Amazing views! 👍👍👍👍
Thanks again vermeer ..appreciated 😀
yeahhhh at last I have seen a fish from the drone footage, 5:58 a white looking thing.
Unless it was a seal.
Hello Donny, and thanks for another exciting video. What trailer does your friend use for his T38 IE3. As I'm after one for my T38. Thanks Steve 👍
Hi Steve ..he sold his outfit ..but it was a homemade trailer ..flat board and bunks ..hope that helps :-D
Thanks Donny. Im still after one like your aluminium Hull, just trying to find out the best way to store one lol. Best wishes Steve 👍
Pretty hairy going through the Corryvreckan! Do you have a kill chord on the engine in case you fall out?
Life Jacket..Kill Cord ..VHF ..PLB and a crate of guinness always at hand and in use ..get no second chances as sea stuart 😀
Hi donny,
Are these boats given to you or do you buy out of choise
I only ask because I am looking for one around £12000 about 3.5m
Just wondering which is best for my money
Or are they all made in the same factory in china😉😁👍
