All is well with the world when I watch your videos - so relaxing but also makes me itch to get back out there ASAP. Many thanks Paul.

Wonderful raid Paul. Liked seeing how your boat handled the chop off the coast. Well done!

[malcolmrowe]

I have always been amazed at how a boat seems to shrink in size when in swell and waves, but it takes on the dimensions of an ocean liner when you take it out of the water to do annual maintenance!!
Love your videos and miss getting afloat.

[davelawrence]

Thanks for another great sail paul and yes Kate Louise is still the prettiest girl on the water cheers

[mikelewis]

I have to say that Kate Louise was the prettiest little boat in the anchorage -- probably on any given night, if I'm honest. Thanks for all the great videos!

[rossbarnett]

Oh man! I'm totally wrong. I came to the conclusion from all your videos that the group should be named the puddle pushers. All those perfect bays and fires and the weather (bit sick of seeing the weather in your town) And now you're adventuring out off the coast in the wild sea. 2-3m swell. So hats off from me now. Looks like you are not a puddle pusher anymore. I think there might have been a few of us waiting to see your take on the trip and it didn't disappoint.

Blinking brilliant! I love every second of your videos. You know when you stop for lunch/beer somewhere, I would like to see that as well if possible ;) good health and best wishes to all you raiders!

[MKlukowski]

That was a pleasure to watch. Can't wait for Warner sailing weather here. Cheers!

[michaelmccotter]

What fun!
Really enjoyed this installment!
Kate Louise looked right confident out there.
Snow should stop falling mid day tomorrow.
Approx 12" +... I think by then. We start gaining sunlight in a couple weeks.
Cheers!

Great video Paul! The run outside was a lot of fun. I'm glad I did it.

Hopefully I pack enough to stay longer next time and meet a few of the guys. If you'll have us along again :p.

Apart from sleeping on a sharp angle at night in that shallow area, the Pacific was great.

Cheers
Andrew

Love the Big Water scenes Paul - simpley delightful watching another boat nearly disapear behind a swell! I've got to get out in the Atlantic and feel it as well. Thank you

[ginnybelle]

Well that certainly was an interesting sail Paul & as always, great camera work of your sailing buddies & scenery. Thanks for sharing another great video!

[tuisitala]

What a fantastic cruising ground you have there. Greetings from the River Fowey in Cornwall.

Sorry I missed you guys out there Paul - I was pressed for time on this one. Excellent video and great to see your perspective on the open water section. Nicely done!

Back in 1980’s when sailed Puget Sound I used a Neptune 16’ under me. We use to get some 3’ up to 5 n 6’ once in awhile. That was hairy but exhilarating . Mostly steep stuff as the Southerlies blow up the Sound. The longer the fetch n hairier it got. Loved circumnavigating Vashion n Bainbridge Island.

Love seeing these long rollers n chop. Yah ! Probably about the safe limit for open boat..

Cheers mate,

Papa J.

Another excellent dinghy sailing adventure - your boat handled those high seas beautifully despite the beers! 6.3 knots must be near your max hull speed? Good to see so many of you adventurers there although you must have missed Josh whose video skills are giving even yours a run now!

[jamessandman]

Thanks for another outstanding video! I recently had a heart attack so I've been catching up on your last few videos. In one of them you commented on needing new ideas but I beg to argue that there is nothing wrong with your videos. They are entertaining, relaxing, beautiful video and editing along with great interaction with the other guys. I particularly like seeing all of the other boats in addition to your beauty. Thanks for the therapy and inspiration. Once I have rehabbed I will get back out on the water myself. Cheers! ⛵⛵⛵

[PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Looked like a beautiful sail Nice vid as usual :)

[Pagan]

I love your videos and Kate Louise. Might I suggest that you put some "baggy wrinkle" on your port and starboard mainstays to save wear and tear on your mainsail.

[SailingWithDave]

Great video. i'm very envious of the cruising grounds you have to choose from down there. Quite right about the coffee, I always say "nothing happens before coffee"!!!
