|Four minutes of sublime sailing on the Moray

Oh dear Dylan, a really nasty business. It sure illustrates the need for a dry boat, and a haven from the wet and windy conditions up north. I certainly hope that you manage to eradicate the fungal stuff and are restored to pristine condition soonest. Good luck.
That’s a bummer.. thanks for the Moray series Dylan, I loved them all, a few crisp oncers inbound to treat your trench related decomposition. The old army foot and body powder was great for rot. Probably now banned by the EU as being likely to cause death. Good luck for this summer.
Once was enough Dylan — having rotted in a damp climate too you have my utmost sympathy.
Pretty sure you didn’t need to be in your jocks for the last shot. Will buy latest series on dvd and wash my eyeballs out with iodine if it eases your pain.
Not a pretty sight! (But we were warned.) A good circulation of fresh clean warm air is said to be a
good preventative – perhaps that’s why they wear kilts in that neck of the woods. Good luck with the
next stage of your travels.
Ah, boarding school…scrot rot, verrucas, a damn good caning and lots of Holy Mass, empire building stuff. After that the Army was a joy. Going back to Beauly how high we’re the three wires Dylan? I fancy going up there. Again many thanks for all your films, particularly my home ground the Moray Firth.
Just love all your filming. yep a nice dry boat warm heater seems to be the answer. Sorry to hear of your scot and foot rot a most painful condition I can sympathise with. As to music I enjoy the stuff you select that Caledonia is a great number. All best wishes will send some shekels soon.

Cough and drop…why? Thanks for the height info, I guess I’m about the same as you. All the best Dylan.
Eeeekkk..too much info, I was at a Catholic school and it wasn’t as bad as that, although we did have a padre whose nickname was Tool Dangle, ‘nuf said.
Really looking forward to this season newly berthed in Lossiemouth. Launching next Friday. Definitely heading for Beauly.
Long time. I was wondering how the fungal stuff was healing?
I am sure you have been over all your options many times. Would you consider buying another good Centaur (or similar) and continuing the trail south from the Clyde back to Bembridge, sailing only in the warmer months and covering just the west coast? This would just about fill your time until 2023 – and keep us supplied with good quality vlogs (or whatever they are called these days). Then you might buy your ‘liner’ and do the West coast of Scotland, the islands and Ireland. You will have considered this, I know, so its just a thought. Hope you are enjoying your east coast sailing and the fine weather. All the best, Martin
Dylan, I really enjoyed that one and will tap again in the near future. I would love to download all of your videos for watching again on a big screen TV. Can’t figure out how to do it and would gladly pay you whatever you wish to charge. Tried Vimeo but still not sure how to download from there. As an aside I really prefer your videos with the music and or commentary.
thanks JS – they are all on youtube – so you can add a video ripper to the add ons on your browser. It will then insert a download button into the youtube page and you can rip away to your hearts content.
My plan is to remove all the music from the past films and post them on the website at $1 a pop. I am sure it will not work very well…. but worth a try. There is a canal boater who is doing the same thing.
all his videos have the sound of his engine going in the background

The snag is that running a boat in scotland was costing me £6,000 a year – that sounds lot but hauls outs, haul ins, marinas, moorings at peak times of year, travel to and from scotland was the killer.
I would also hate to lose out on the winter sailing – that is when the light is at its best….. My next plan, following the failure of the buskers cup is $1 per film. Low res for free, high res for $1. I have nothing to lose at this stage. So if any of you want to keep films rather than paying a dollar a pop then now is the time to start ripping them.
Dylan, have you seen this boat?
