    Hi Daniel and Kathrin, it's the other Craig. Great video, so much fun to see your adventures on Islay and remembering our visits to those distilleries. Enjoying a couple of drams on your boat was definitely a highlight. Safe travels.

      Hey Craig, great to hear from you again and thanks for watching! Our tour around Islay is unforgettable. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), our nectar levels are going down quickly and I think we might have to sail there again soon… 😎

    Well done, Daniel. I shared it with the other guys. We can't wait to get back to Islay. We're talking September of 2024. Cheers!

      We will make the jump to the Faroe Islands tomorrow… no whisky there so, guess how our bilges look like… 😇😎

    Epic trail! And what a great hospitality from Lagavulin! That is my favourite as well :) Sands on polish beaches also make that squeaky sound when you walk on them. Fair winds! :)

    It feels strange to post this comment when we are moored alongside you!!! What a great episode. Funny, informative and poetic. The only problem was that with so much whisky talk I had to pause it half way through to pour myself a dram 🥃😀 Loved it! ❤

      @@sailingpolaris I’m trying to pluck up the courage to purchase a live-aboard sailboat. It’s been almost twenty years since I sold my last boat. I just retired and I’m dreaming of sailing again! I’m watching copious amounts of sailing videos on TH-cam..

      @agentdouble-osoul158 just do it! It may look scary at the beginning and it is a massive change in lifestyle.
      But for us it is so totally worth it!

      @@sailingpolaris Thanks for the encouragement. I sailed around Mexico, Cuba and Belize, etc, singlehanded for 4 years back in 2000-04 and I promised myself I wouldn’t do it alone again! I had a grand time and met so many wonderful people. I’m constantly looking for the “perfect rig”, if there is such a thing! It’s safe to say I’ll be going it alone again, even though I have a good friend who lives in NY who said she’ll join me when I get to a port/anchorage :)
