Nice video as always Dylan.
My recommendation is sell the house, car, etc and buy the boat and go sailing! (writes a single guy that sails with a cat.)
How we gonna keep em down on the farm now that they seen Paree
fair answer Dylan … and likely the better v. mine!
Failures? Things may not have gone to plan but you can hardly claim failure. You have sailed some fantastic waters, documented it with an astounding body of work, inspired countless others to have a go, and done it all with dignity. Let the Fisher and Northern waters be a worthy goal. Seems I recall you saying something about sailing what you got and go now. Hope we see you out there wherever that is.
Totally agree with Dave’s comments, you’ve just adapted to circumstances (rather well by the looks of things), stop talking about failure! Concentrate on making more happy memories on the East Coast, with an eye on getting back to Scotland when you are able. It’s the people that you make the memories with that make them great too remember, not just where they are made Dylan.
Hi
I think you will find the Fisher a great dissatoimtment I have sailed a friends LM 27 rather be in my Trapper 501 any day even a cold one
Hi
great film agaim
It’s still just a hobby, not a professed-vocation.
Relax.
Enjoy.
Things have a way of working out…
In no terms can you call KTL a failure. Your film making is genius, it is art. I do not follow any other sailing blogs so I cannot comment on them. But KTL unique so it is futile to compare. Do I think it is marketed in the right way? No! The funding modal as I understand it is mad! Can madness work, sure can if you get lucky. It isn’t over until it’s over!
Agree whole heartily with all of the above. Did have a thought (dangerous things): Why not turn right? Take the Katie L down the Cornwall coast. I believe you had a boat down that way in the past; but plenty of coastline to explore. Another thought (phew, ’bout ready for my nap): Why not a book? An ebook could have hyperlinks to films and stills. Someone may even pay you for it. Need inspiration? Read 17th century Japanese poet Basho. Always broke, always roaming the roads of the countryside, writing his poems.
Dylan,
Must reiterate what others have said: KTL is not failure. Can’t really compare your films to the reality tv like edited on the fly films. Keep on keeping on.
