Beautiful boat! Thanks for the tour!

Love all your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Live your videos, always bring a smile to my face and a longing for adventure to my heart. I would live the guide as my friends are preparing to sail from France next summer to the Caribbean

Love the small boat tour. Especially about the various sleeping options when at sea. Looking forward for more episodes 😊

Nice to see the boat finally sailing. The arch looks good. I'd think you'd be pretty happy with it. Easy for the mainsheet and the shade cover. Good sailing. Scott.

Very good quality of the video footage. Very crisp and clean.

I love it, you guys are living the dream!

Absolutely fantastic boat!

Great video! Thank you for showing us around your gorgeous new boat. When my husband and I were looking for a long-term cruising vessel for our retirement, we viewed several Southerlys (though much, much smaller than yours). Really great layout and we loved the lifting keel, but we ultimately opted for a smaller-sized, British-made catamaran: a Catalac 900. Circumstances have taken us from the UK to Germany, but our boat is still lying in Brighton, waiting for us to bring her home. So we'll be crossing the Channel in the near future, and could really use a reliable guide like the one you are offering. Looking forward to your next video! Fair winds!

Another great episode! I just love your channel. Watching you talk about things almost makes sailing like bike riding - even on a vessel like Distant Shores III... 😀 It‘s very informative and lovely to watch, will keep following you! 👌

Love the new Distant Shores! Subscribed and the bell is rung.

Beautiful. Especially like the dolphins. One can imagine them communicating with you throughout the voyage. I have no doubt they cleared your prop, probably their leader developed it into a game for the younger dolphins. I hope you have won awards for your videos as they're very enjoyable and extremely informative.

Those creaky floors would drive me mad.

We had 2 pet dolphins that knew our dinghy by sight (or sound?) and would ride under our bow as we went back and forth along the shoreline of the anchorage at Santa Cruz Island (Channel Islands CA USA). They would stand up on their tails when they saw us heading towards their beach area and then we would spend an hour or so with them. Great memories of our wild dolphin playmates at our islands here in the Santa Barbara Ca USA area.

Fantastic! Love the new boat. I have always loved your adventures. In fact, Both of you have been my inspiration to start sailing. I have been taking sail lessons and joining as crew to learn more. The english channel has been my dream to sail and of course the world. Thank you for showing us the world through sailing and keep inspiring others like me to take the leap. Your videos are so well done with such good knowledge in a clear manner , such a treasure. I hope i can get your guide and share my experiences when i sail on my own boat soon.

Hey, that is a great episode, really cool that you describe the positions where to bunk at sea and explaining with where you fount it best to sleep. Also the dolphins, really cool! I am very interested to get the Shell Channel Pilot, if that is still available I would love to get it! I am planning to sail in the channel this year and it would be great to have it! All the best to you and many more sails and great adventures!

Great new boat, love the light colours and natural light below decks. As I'm following in your footsteps, weathered into Peel IOM last month just like you guys a few years ago. Currently anchored off the Island of Gigha having rounded the Mull of Kintyre earlier today, heading further north later in the week. Planning on heading towards Portugal in 2019 so please add me to the book list, it would be very useful, one of the biggest costs for distance sailors is books and charts.

Watching dolphins never gets old--we've yet to have the pleasure of their escort (but maybe one day!). I'm assuming your prop survived the encounter with the line--that must have been frightening.

Welcome to the propeller nine club..

I like to think the dolphins were following you and when they saw you in distress they helped you and waited to see you were good to go. Maybe I'm just a romantic soul.

You could have a batten sewn in the top of the lee cloth. I have seen this done by a sail maker for a race boat. It makes for a stiffer and perhaps more comfortable support.

Great video, only just discovered this channel, we are just starting our planning would love to have your pilot guide please.

Distant Shores luck! Dolphins fix the prop, and a GoPro saved by rice. Although my 81 Datsun used to fix itself, I have been less lucky with my boat. I hope I come across a pod of smart cetaceans the next time I have an issue at sea ;).

When you get electronics wet, don't just do the rice thing. the problem is the conductivity of water ( especially saltwater) shorting them out. NEVER turn the device on. Take it apart as much as you can, draining it, flush it with pure alcohol, or even distilled water if you have nothing else, to remove the tiny salt crystals that may bridge microelectronics. The electronics themselves are impervious to water, it is the shorts it creates when the devices are powered on. 99% alcohol is super useful as a cleaner, other uses, and can save your expensive electronics.

Goodonyah guys

Hi Paul and Sheryl, would you consider sending the book to Australia if so I would like to be on the list thanks very much.

In 2000 I wrote up the rice thing as a hail Mary. I'd been in China and got wet with an exposed roll of film in my pocket, but not in the container. I asked for dried rice at Tina's Guest House in Tiger Leaping Gorge, packed the rice in the container with the film and a few weeks later got it processed. My friends online and I discussed using rice to dry out wet electronics. Did I start this? I find it hard to believe that I did. Silica packs had been in things for 50 years so the concept of a hydroscopic material keeping items dry wasn't new, and of course the hydroscopic properties of dried rice were well known. I did a whole write up as a How To if your stuff got wet. Ten years later after I'd dunked a cheap flip phone and went to AT&T to get a new one I swear the clerk quoted me back my instructions almost verbatim. She'd learned it in training. Later I asked about wet phones at Verizon and TMobile, they also gave me the rice tip, but neither sounded anything like my original writing. So AT&T? Maybe? Weird. (You'd think a billion dollar corporation would actually say, 'Instead just copying something from some knucklehead on the net, lets spend $5000 testing it.' I had friends who read my tip and scoffed at it. It helped your Go Pro? Whoopee! The fresh water tip (not mine) is to dunk it in the fresh water to about the same degree as it was dunked in salt water. And you can still eat the rice. Dolphins are super cool and smart in ways we can't even imagine. I paddled a lot around a particular pod in Santa Monica Bay. I had no idea that they remembered me. I had a 17' wooden strip kayak. When I made a 19' foot narrower strip kayak and took it out the first time, they came in a beeline from a mile away to check it out. On the surface it's 'Look it's dolphins,' but underneath the water is where they twist and do their looking at you.. I made the two kayaks, but from 50 meters away I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. A week later, I still hadn't caulked the foam bulkheads because I hadn't decided on a final position. These were an inch all round bigger than the hull, I had to hammer them in with a mallet, they were also 4" thick. I figured they were sealed enough. When I flipped over, the two holds filled up like the bulkheads weren't there. I called the life guards for help. Again from a mile away the pod made a beeline for me. Wow I thought they're going to help me. No Disney film.. They shot by looking up at me, 'hey, he's in the water' and then kept going. I like your boat, a lot. If in a couple of years you see another one just like it, maybe named "The Rice Trick...." that'll be me. Thanks.
