With so many people across the world feeling Anxious, Stressed, Scared and worried I thought it would be nice for people to post some happy things not associated with what is going on at the moment here. Maybe from boating adventures in the past or anything that will lift peoples spirits as I honestly believe that this sort of thing helps. All the other stuff can go on in other threads but please keep this one Happy.

I will start by alerting all you mobo chaps to a fellow who posts some lovely videos that cant help but cheer you up. His Name is Donny Wilcox (AKA the Gurnard) who has many adventures in his small boats around Scotland. He makes lovely videos and puts them on You Tube. If you watch them on your TV in the comfort of you sofa they are as good as any short travel programme in my view.

Here is a link to his channel

I hope these cheer some people up and for a while make them feel better

Thanks for sharing. Just watched Arran & Mull of Kintyre Part 1 - unusually good weather and a lovely cruising ground but not a trip I would fancy perched sideways on the tube of a small inflatable! ;)

Old Donny is quite an adventurer. I keep urging him to get a drone as it would add greatly to his videos. It is the ones when he is in his Frib with the 6hp that amaze me...… He is quite a Guru in the small rubber Sib frternity
 
Good video, thanks for posting. I enjoyed the simple but adequate narration, so many potentially good video blogs ruined by annoying commentary.
I liked the spray hoods on the bows of the dinghies, great idea for the “cruising” dinghy

I am lucky and have a big garden and my Honwave T38 is in my shed. I am going to spend some of my time in the next few weeks to get it out and make one of those hoods. Glad you enjoyed his videos there are several of them

We finally moved our P415 on friday to its new berth.....very rough with the east wind and mostly in the dark to get the tide we needed at the destination but an exciting trip and very happy when we put her on her new berth on Saturday despite the wind still blowing hard..... Savannah 2.3.jpg

This ones same pair .......but the 38 “Rambo “ crew mix n match some hotel accommodation.
You don’t hear much of that type of boating on this forum .Sort of says you don’t really need a massive boat / floating Hotel to drag around , maintain and fund .
Bit long but some nice holiday scenery of Corsica .
