I loved how everyone is smiling, how could anyone have a better time than this? The editor did a great job with the music too- I watched it twice!

Thanks for the nice comment, we certainly had a very enjoyable sail that afternoon, it is fine to look back on in the winter months. The old Shetland melodies seem to fit well with the motion of the boat. The middle tune is “Up da Stroods da Sailor Goes” from the days of sail!🎻

An exceptionally weatherly sixareen.
I enjoyed watching her bluff bow cutting through the chop!

Loved the old salt at the tiller though the more vigorous part, the grin oh the grin, harkens back to a time ah yes, in the storm we become our best and we unite with purpose. Fair winds fellow travelers

Yeah, there he is, all ready for weather in his denim jeans and light parka! Having the time of his life - even when he wasn't at the helm.
