    Allow me to join the chorus of praise. With your sailing skills and photography skills your channel is the best!
  • @Bigfish300
    Stunning photography and soooo different from the normal youtubers. Thanks
  • @Aoi_Fans
    Thick haar, gales forces winds, hot tomato soup for dinner and putting up the canopy so you don't get wet. Welcome to Scotland in the summer!
  • I think the most obvious sign of the incredible and dramatic improvement in your productions over the last 7 years ( OMG is it really that long ) is the head to camera presentations… now you are relaxed, humorous and informative .. back in the beginning it was very awkward .. once again thanks so much !
  • AWESOME. WOW . This Planet is So Beautiful. Thank You for going there and Sharing it all with us!
  • I Love this video, the Cool Misty morning, the highland dancers, the pipe band and the beautiful festival bringing the locals together to celebrate. Thank you Matt and Amy ❤
  • @MikeSantis
    Your channel deserves to have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Amazing footage and narration. Thank you guys.
  • @TomTremayne
    I love these videos & incredibly they just keep getting better & better. The subject matter's great, Amy I could stare at all day long, even when tired she's still a delight, but it's the technical nous that's also remarkable. Using the shipping forecasts as audio, keeping the audio at normal speed when they video's at double, using slow-mo, rack focusing....it's just all so well done & easily as watchable as anything on mainstream TV!

    Island sailing…sheesh, wind changes, rain, currents, tides and not to mention how the land and rocks can appear…You two have our hearts. We sailed a little around Hawaii, same stuff, only warm…May God be with you. Thanks for sharing…from East Tennessee.
  • I am loving your channel! Florence looks great after the refit and I for one am glad your plans changed and you are now sailing around Great Britain. I was stationed in England '85-'88 with the US Air Force and Great Britain holds a special place in my heart.
  • Awesome video and what luck to arrive during a festival. I see Florence is tied up next to Alan, Alex Hibbert’s vessel. Double the luck!
  • I loved seeing your around the world sailing over the last many years but seeing a Brit couple showing the UK to this American is fabulous!
  • TY once again i totally enjoyed the tour of the country Scotland... AND again you 2 are an awesome team.... Thanks.. Brian
  • Loved this video, both the sailing which looks like an awful lot of work and the somewhat more leisurely exploration of the land.
  • Fantastic episode. The first half was a Masterclass training video on Sailing, Navigation and Weather. All the sails look great too. 2nd half was a bonus travel guide to the NE Scotland coast. Well done.
  • @ksc743
    Yay another upload🙌 Really look forward to them!
  • GRAND! Well done guys. we are now armchair sailors! we are at or mooring in Knysna RSA, after 3 years working on our 32ft double ender Aries (Thomas Gilmer) we HOPE to set sail soon. we have rented out our house and are committed. iI is channels like yours that inspire us. Sampson Boat Co with Leo is the inspiration to do thins properly, and you and maybe Sailing Sweet Ruca and Uma and so on , inspire us. BUT right now we are warm and cosy with the Dickinson Diesel heater in the cape winter. we ALMOSt went to Cape Town, but didn't as they had 90knot winds yes, 90 KNOTS , check it out. we are in a bubble on the south coat, the weather pretty much misses us. keep it up.
