- It's time for some voyage planning now that the summer is coming to a close. There's just one question...do we go with Plan A or Plan B?

Well having a Plan B should always be Plan A :D
Hope you guys are staying save and wrestling up Plan C, D and E these days... as most of us have to ;-)
I love this, and you're so right. Plan A? Have a Plan B! As for us, we're nestled in a protected marina in the north of Scotland for the foreseeable future. We're not allowed to leave, and even if we could there is nowhere to go...all countries around are closed to recreational boats at the moment. However, we are lucky to be here and grateful that we had not already started cruising for the season. We've seen some of the troubles other cruising boats are having and our hearts go out to them.
We're taking care to self-isolate and stay healthy, and are using this time to work on Paragon, cook, have some delightful baking triumphs (and some disasters!) and, of course, edit our videos.
We hope all is well with you also. Take care and be safe. ⚓-Monique
@@drakeParagon we got stuck in austria while dealing with paperwork and visiting family and are now unable to get back to greece and our boat, which is our home as well. But also here a good chance to edit videos, make more backup plans and do what can be done... we are certainly stilk on the good end of how things could be!
In youghal, where I grew up, the siren just like that one, assembled the part time fire engine crew.
Thanks, Looking forward to see your scottish video 👍🏻⛵🏴
You and me both! :)
Great episode, I especially enjoyed seeing so much of Mo, she's so dad gum smart and witty! I am glad to know that you're safe and sound in Scotland, hoping this Corona calamity is over sooner rather than later. Be safe my friends and steady on...
Thank you so much!
This was great folks! A wonderful Sunday afternoon escape from the reality we’d all like to escape right now. I just love your videos!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it.
Great stuff guys, looking forward to the next journey. Andy UK
Thanks 👍 We've got some fantastic episodes come up next! :)
Wait a minute. You are dressed like that, and it's August.... I'm glad, you're scouting that area for me. I'll stay here, on the home front. I'll keep home base dry and warm....😜
Great 👍
My home state of Michigan has had a bottle return law for more than 40 years (10 cents). The automated return machines have been around for at least 20 years. Your encounter is a reminder that they are definitely not ubiquitous! :-)
I had no idea such a thing existed in America...how lovely. I wish it was in more places. ⚓-Monique
Drake. That sure is a beautiful and very versatile boat you have
Thank you Peter. She is our home and we love her... ⚓-Monique
That was another great episode !! Food-segment with only pop-corns were a little disappointing though 🙄😂
Thanks! Ah, no worries...we'll have plenty of food in future episodes. Hope you're doing well and staying healty. ⚓-Monique
Your DKK to USD is a bit off, you have overpriced everything :) That being said, Greenland is fairly expensive.
I think the siren was just a test. In mainland Denmark they test them once each year, always in the spring.
The dogs are used for sled-riding, hunting and scaring off polarbears.
Woooow, Drake never stops, like when he sees the wonders of a bottle return company/system that has been a success since the early 70's (Tomra @ 6:12).
But you also got me wowing when I saw that miss Nin is ur boat poet --- hope you endured ALL her writings :)
I guess it's because we haven't seen something like that bottle return in America...and it's SO cool! Seriously, wish they had that in more places. ⚓-Monique

Minute 1:15 Tsunami Warning Siren. If the locals are not running for the hills, you're probably ok.
Interesting, I always thought it was some sort of call for firefighters or something. However, I think you are correct...if the locals are not alarmed the we should not be either. (✿◠‿◠) ⚓-Monique
Another great job
Thank you John! ⚓-Monique
Climbing the dock wall looked pretty precarious. GREAT VIDEOS
It was! Thank you.
hi guys when you get this you will be on your wat if you go via scotland come down the east side of ireland you can do belfast the isle of mann some really nice places next what or where do you get your up to date charts from
2:27 Haha look at Monique climb that ladder like a harbor pilot. Not me. Hate heights. I would have a life ring with a line running to the back of the yacht with the ladder down... I would wear a life vest but I would not want to carry it around town.
Awesome Sauce!
Thanks!
The one kid without a wet suit didn't really need a wet suit!
I like your plan B! Safer, if longer.
I rather like it as well...plus it would mean we get to see more places! ⚓-Monique
You need to cruise the inner hebrides and the west coast of Scotland too.
I honestly think that the west coast of Scotland is seriously one of the most fabulous places to sail. So beautiful with lovely anchorages within easy distance. I would love to spend an entire season (or more!) just exploring that area. ⚓-Monique
That sign in the grocery store behind Eana & Monique @10:30 .... do what with the cat?
It's the baked goods (breads, etc.) section. Iffiaq means (rye) bread.
Late August, north Atlantic ...not a probability of bad weather...there will be bad weather... I'd vomit considering delaying the voyage to Ireland. Your a month late.
10c for every recyclable package here in Awestralia
Well that sounds lovely. Is it as easy to return the items as it was in Greenland? ⚓-Monique
In California, we pay a tax of 10 cents and there is nowhere to claim it back. Some recycling centers would buy the plastic and glass at scrap price so a full trash can was about worth about $1.50. Costs more to drive there
That does rather seem a bit mad and a waste. I la la love how they tackle the recycling of bottles in Greenland and other places. The Faroe Islands are another place that really have a great system with the same type of machine seen here. It's cool because everyone, and I mean *everyone*, recycles their bottles and cans. It's also nice because you know all the bottles and cans will be reused.
It's actually a bit funny. Every time there is a festival or gathering with any amount of drinking going on, little kids will run around with trash bags collecting empty bottles and cans from everyone. They're actually quite...assertive in some cases. They'll ask if you're finished, and then sternly tell you that they'll be back in 5 minutes so DON'T give it to the other kid. Ha, I've actually caught a little hand reaching for *my not quite finished* beer and had to swat him away.
I know we save all bottles and cans when we visit these various places, and the payoff is delightful. Returning all the bottles and cans is usually enough to buy a nice bottle of whisky and some other items for the next leg of our journey! ⚓-Monique
But if they raised the deposit price there’d be riots in the streets. You can’t win when it comes to the general public
@@frankd2301 I wonder if people would get used to it...especially when they say how much money was returned. ⚓-Monique
DrakeParagon seems like they want to collect the tax but not pay out the cash as promised. Who, would have thought a government could be that tricky? Lol. Stay safe my friends both online, world wide and people I meet in real life
I love the bottle machine. Bunden must be bottom.
You are correct indeed...it does mean bottom. ⚓-Monique
Come on dont you guys have one of those magic 8 balls, or Ouija board to pick your cruising plans...lol..lol.
But of course, but it keeps saying 'outcome unknown'. What does THAT mean? ⚓-Monique
5:44 Are those shotguns on the wall back there for sale?
Yes, shotguns or rifles. Greenlaners don't need any kind of permit or license to purchase a gun in Greenland. I think the only requirement to purchase one may be that you're 16. -> th-cam.com/video/GStWW_iw0Uk/w-d-xo.html
@@drakeParagon Hmm, my kind of country and my kind of people.
Where’s the sailing?
Hey Jim, there's a lot of sailing on this channel...perhaps check out our almost 2 week sail from Faroe to Svalbard here: th-cam.com/video/F6NZJgroiE0/w-d-xo.html However, a large part of what we do is explore, meet people and, of course, prepare for our next sail. Thus the provisioning in this episode.
It's so interesting because provisioning in different countries can be quite challenging at times. Maybe it's an open market, maybe you don't speak the language, maybe the items are not so fresh....so many issues. However, that's all part of the adventure, or at least we think so.
We hope you are well and keeping safe. Take care and fair winds to you. ⚓-Monique
What relation is Eanna to you?
I first met Éanna when we both crewed on Eric Forsyth's sailboat Fiona sailing from Ireland to Portugal. You can see that very moment, and the whole story right here. :) - >th-cam.com/play/PL135F60761B451C11.html
Fun fact: Donald Trump's mother is originally from Lewis in the Hebrides.
When are you going to use the jigging lures?
:)
*·゜ﾟ·*:.。..。.:*·'ヽ(^▽^)ノ'·*:.。. .。.:*·゜ﾟ·*
2:09 she looks like she needs to have her thyroid checked, that is some very slow and labored human movement there.
Plan B lets not do any video on sailing and lets just dump diesel into the ocean . Plan B not to good
Not the way to decant fuel!
:)
