Cool episode

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

I’m glad you enjoyed sailing our beautiful West coast. My father was a keen yachtsman, a member of the Clyde Cruising Club and he sailed the West coast every summer until the age of 92. He worked at the Singer Factory in Clydebank for over 30 years and also sewed with a refurbished 1930s electric foot pedal machine which I now have. I can always remember some marine ply woodwork lying on our dining room table being repaired 😂 Thank you for flying our Saltire as a courtesy flag which is always nice to see and much appreciated.
Some notes on pronunciation.
Islay - Aisle-ah (emphasis on 1st syllable)
Croabh - Croov
Oban - Oh-ban (emphasis on 1st syllable)
Lovely video. It’s always nice to see places that are so familiar to me, through another’s eyes.

Bonjour Philippe, We added a piece to extend down from the aft end of the dodger to the cockpit floor, its made from sunbrella and clear plastic and zips onto the aft edge of the dodger.

It's not Iss-lay; it's Eye-la.

[@GoneSailingCA]

Thanks - we’ll get it right next time

[@jamieweyndling1861]

The correct courtesy flag is red ensign not St. Andrews cross

[@kirsteneasdale5707]

Most people fly the Saltire as a courtesy flag in Scotland.

[@jamieweyndling1861]

It’s pronounced “eye-lay”

[@athertop]

Nope, sorry. Its pronounced like the girls name Isla (phonetically: isle-a)
