Brilliant. A grand start to a very dreich Sunday down south.
Don’t apologise about the organ man Dylan — that was a brilliant slice of life.
Very nice indeed. I have to say that I actually don’t miss the background music as I prefer the sound of sailing above the music.
Just out of curiosity from a chronological point of view, when did this all actually take place Dylan, was this last year?
Mr Pettigrew, what a lovely man…….you’ve met a few characters on your travels ! How can we forget the ‘Seagull’ man, the fish tickler of Wells, and the man who digs worms for bait and hides them in his fridge hoping his wife doesn’t find them !
What a place for changeable weather, agreed that the best place to be in a storm is securely tied up to something that’s not going to move and with your keel resting on the bottom….not a lot of fun when the tide comes back …but good whilst it lasts.
Cheers

Both voice over and on camera commentary sounds fine. I love the ambient sounds – nearly as powerful as the video for transporting me all the way to the UK from CA. And the bit of history always adds some depth. Don’t leave out too much of what is “unimportant” – I could have watched this happily if it had been three times as long. Would have liked to have seen those folks scramble their sail down as they made it into the harbor with the wind and waves shoving them along. Many thanks for your efforts. I try to film a bi from my little “Polywog”, but when I think of digging out the camera I often decide just to stay in the moment. So I appreciate what you do.
Holy cow! Over here we call such a series of unfortunate events a “fuster cluck”!
Thanks for your work Dylan. I enjoy your relaxed commentary and historical details.
