- We accidentally stumble on another new anchorage and this place is totally unspoilt. There are ship wrecks to dive on, cafes to relax in and even 'Richard & Judy' live here. This place was a smugglers cove for centuries and many a ship has been wrecked on the reefs which surround it.
But, what a great spot.
To see all the amazing places we've visited then check our website out at www.cadoha.com
I have to say, as an Aussie with the Great Barrier reef on our doorstep and South East Asia and the South Pacific Islands not far away, I had never considered Britain as an interesting cruising ground. But you have opened my eyes. What a beautiful place. And of course why not, Britain has always had such a strong connection to the sea. Rule Britannia!
Appreciate you saying that, I hope we’re flying the flag for our little island nation proudly 🙏🏼😊⛵️
Another groovy episode with beautiful landscapes and gorgeous underwater forests.
What a delight it is to sit down and watch your videos of the most beautiful countryside! And as always Hank is such a star!
You do a better job than the English tourist board at showing the splendor of our southern coast. Wonderful video .
Well if you want to put in a good word with them for me, I'll happily do it for a salary, ha ha 🤣
Full marks for having Hank on his lead near the sheep. There were other places for him to run free. Again, it's all part of your genuine respect for other life and livelihoods.
Even though I personally trust him not to run after the sheep I still don't think you can ever be 100% sure there's always that 'what if' thought in the back of your head and you're right, there were plenty of other places for him to be able to run and explore, so no need to scare the sheep, or worse, upset a farmer in his manor 😇🙏🏻
That was some of the most colourful British reef flora and fauna.. ive seen. 🇬🇧🧙♂️😎
There's so many beautiful refs and flora around these parts. The Isles of Scilly is even more spectacular! 😍
Fabulous footage, especially from the drone 😃 , Crab Linguine, followed by Blackberry and Apple Crumble with Custard. YES PLEASE 😃🍻🥂
It’s the dinner of champions 😬😊🙏🏼
Hi , great minds think a like crab linguine was our Sunday choice , fresh from the fish stall on Mudeford quay , Another video of your pure making, thanks . ❤👍👍👍🐕
Great minds indeed. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻☺️
Such a beautiful country ! Just Amazing Video Footage ! Thank you for all the info and sights! Fair winds, Joe from Virginia, USA
Well hello there from across the pond. Glad to hear you're enjoying exploring our homeland with us, it's good to have you with us ☺️🙏🏻
To start, I'm a Texas USA girl! I love my wide open spaces and majestic beauty we have near my home. I've never had the urge to go much farther to find visually pleasing surroundings. I've never had any desire to visit Britain. But I've been watching sailing channels for a few years now and must say the beauty you show of Britain and its seacoast and country sides on occasion are so beautiful, it bring tears to my eyes! I just wanted to say thank you for widening my world even if only via the internet!!
You know 90% of the time filming and putting these videos together, to showcase the majesty of my homeland, is an absolute labour of love, but every now and then I have days when I find it hard to open the editing software again, not often, but sometimes.
Thankfully, equally every now and then I get a message like this and it’s all the fuel in the world I need to keep going.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and I’m glad you’re enjoying exploring our home shores with us.
I have actually visited several places in Texas over the years and have been lucky enough to travel to many places in America, and I mean it when I say this, but the Texans I met were easily the most friendly people I’d ever met over there. 😊🙏🏼🇺🇸
My childhood neck of the woods! Great snorkelling and fishing at Talland.
What an amazing place to grow up! 😳👌🏼
@@CadohaAdventures lovely apart from high summer when the tourists flood in! 😂😉
You three really give me an appetite for making some stops around the west ⛵️⚓️
There's certainly plenty of beautiful destinations to explore ☺️🙏🏻
I’ve moored up in the entrance to Polperro. It’s not too bad providing the winds in the right direction. You must moor fore and aft but it’s just ‘got to be done’ in my book. Even if it’s just a lunch stop.
I couldn't agree more. It was a bit of a challenge for us, especially as we had never attempted a trot mooring before and when you get close to the entrance on the boat it also did feel a bit high stakes as you start lining yourself up.
I'm amazed by the life and beauty beneath our coastal waters - very few people really know/see what you are able to bring to us - Thank you.
It's our pleasure and it's always amazing to see how full of life our coast is, it's almost like there's more to see each year, which is very reassuring.
Absolutely love watching you guys
Happy it's not too hard to watch, Gareth 🍻
Helloooooo Cadoha wonderful series of coastal pilotage and anchorages! For me the true joy of sailing..whilst others sail by!Missing the tranquility these coves and bays Keep safe Mark.
Well I think most people just have short windows of sailing time and probably stick to what they know to ensure they have a good holiday with the precious little time they have to spare. So we hope this offering helps shine a light on some places for others so they can maybe think about darting into some new spots? 🙏🏻⛵️
Been following from Alberta for a while now. We have decided to place that coastline on our sail list as soon as we finish our 45ft cruising boat. Unfortunately our sailing season ends in 4 weeks here and we have to haul our small 28 footer out for the winter so she doesnt freeze in. Your videos are both calming and nostalgic. I appreciate your efforts and really hope you are still sailing when head that direction. Cheers from SV Antares!
I hope we are too. We have so much work we want to complete around the UK coastline now 😊🙏🏼⛵️
Good to see you use your Anchor ball! Another lovely episode, thank you.
Ha ha, yes indeed, possibly one of our most worn bits of equipment. Certainly time for a new one next season 😬
Good job, Cadoha - thank you!
Our pleasure! ☺️
Great music again!!
Glad you think so, John 🙏🏻
your thumbnails and voiceovers are the s#*t! I love them!
Appreciate it. I can never figure out a ‘good thumbnail’ just hope for the best mainly 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Luv U 3 !!!
Thank you kindly, Sir. 🙏🏻
Just discovered your CZcams Channel! Love it such great videos. My wife, 7 year old lad and basil the salty sea sausage dog have finally got out on the water this year in our own boat - cruising the south west coast. Learning lots from your videos and where to head. Hopefully we will bump into you some time next year! Chris
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
I thought the under water colours and clarity were amazing.
It was really lovely under the water here, in fact many of the anchorages we've visited down here have been similar. ☺️🙏🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed this video....your selection of music, flow of the story, and interesting scenery is awesome. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Wow beautiful xxxas always xxxx
Thank you, but we can't take too much credit, when 'Old Blighty' wants to show off her beauty, all you need to do is point and shoot 🙏🏻☺️
sorry but thats not true you have to be able to tell the story and you do it very well xx@@CadohaAdventures
@@jfc213 I am just trying to be a good servant to my homeland 🙏🏼😊⛵️
im sure the shoter episodes are easier to put together, and YT atleast used to prefer videos close to the 10 min mark, but i personally do miss the longer episodes, Either way love the vids
We will have longer episodes again, soon enough, just right now it's tough as it's all just a one person job. But hopefully soon we'll have some help with the videos 🙏🏻
@@CadohaAdventures Totally understandable, weekly videos is a treat already I'm just always itching for more😋😘
Talland bay has a history of smuggling and not in the too distant past
As does the next stop on the journey too 😳
Big cannabis bust there when I was young
Your opening swim was terrific, have you considered night dives with a strong light to see what the under water world would look like? :¬) Webhead USA
I think about it a lot, I've even told myself several times that I'm going to do it, then it gets dark and I look over the side of the boat and my mind drifts back to the opening scenes of Jaws 🥹
@@CadohaAdventures Good morning! Yeah, the image of a nearby creature that can kill you is a big disincentive to walking, or. swimming, in the dark! Expedition Drenched has many episodes covering their night dives. Gone With the Wynns have an episode in whish they made a night dive with sharks - lots of sharks. You have got to find a safe way to see the beauty at night! Speaking of the dark, please watch Amy MacDonald - Dancing In The Dark (Orchestral Version). Say hi to Hank for me. :¬) Webhead USA
Found your channel after the spearo hookah facebook incident (lol).....so if nothing else it gained you a new subscriber. Just watched a handful of videos. As someone who is aiming to retire in early 40s for a life at sea.....the quality and content is epic, thank you, keeping me motivated to hit the goal 🤟
Ah glad you enjoyed the videos. The secret seems to be to build out systems on the boat to enable you to be as off-grid as possible which helps keep costs down when you do retire.
If you can catch your own food too then even better. If you ever get any specific questions then feel free to ask and I’ll do my best to help 🙏🏼😊⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures legend thanks. I have a fairly off grid camper, looking to do similar on the boat. Sadly suffered irreversible ear damage spearing on the Helford but hoping to be able to do shallow dives when i get back into it. Otherwise it’ll be rod and line, and learning more about land foraging
@@neildo oh no?? What happened to damage your ears?
@@CadohaAdventures it was a freak 1 in a million accident whilst doing a regular valsalva in only about 4-5m scalloping :(
Sold all my gear and quit the hobby as it affects my career (aviation).....but i'll be back in the shallows again one day (with arm bands on ) when I embark on the boat life!
Just Gread
I’m not sure exactly what you’re talking about?
I lived in polperro for many years, I just left a few months ago.
What a beautiful place to get to call home 👌🏼
@@CadohaAdventures I had an amazing 18years there talland is beautiful
No argument there, what a cracker of a spot.
Looks cold...🙃 but beautiful...😊
The water isn't too bad this time of year, although a 5mm wetsuit certainly helps with the feeling of warmth 😬
AIS - Mawnan Smith, 7.5 miles as the crow flies 🙂
👌🏼⛵️
Love the intro music! Don’t you worry about getting your air hose caught when you swim thru those narrow passages? Is your goal not to tie up in a marina for a year? If so, it seems you are on your way? Is that a “hiking robe”?…so chic!
I have actually got the hose caught a couple of times on overhanging rocks but it's very springy and solid and comes back off very easily. I'm also not very deep so if I get into an issue here, I'm all of a few kicks away from the surface. I probably wouldn't be investigating such narrow spots at say 10m+ depth, but 3-4m doesn't worry me a great deal. That is just me however, I'm not suggesting others shouldn't be mindful of where they go with one
Good afternoon, Please can you tell me about your underwater breathing set up. Maybe even a quick video? Thank you, Gareth
Hello there, I wrote this is a previous video which I hope covers what I use:
For everyone messaging me and asking about my under-water breathing equipment, this is the system we're using here: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM
Now let me say a few things before you run off and buy one. Firstly I have nothing to compare it to other than free-diving. I've never scuba dived before in my life and I've never used another hookah before. I did do a lot of due diligence when it comes to understanding the dangers of breathing compressed air under the water. In short, these things are dangerous and not to be taken lightly. If you think this is something you'd be interested in then please do speak to a diving expert (I've had the good fortune to learn from several, in terms of theory, as well as my own continued reading).
We really enjoy this electronic hookah as it's small, lightweight and seemed (to us) perfect for the little space we had on the boat, where dive tanks and a compressor just wouldn't fit, as well as add a lot of additional weight.
If you use the above link and you do buy one too then we will get a small kick back which will go towards Hanks treat jar, it's the same price regardless of if you go to the company directly, but I know some people feel a certain kind of way about us getting any kind of kick backs, so if that's you then just google 'air buddy dive system' and go to the site directly, again the price is the same regardless, but I'd like you to feel good about how you got there, so, there you have it.
What else can I say? We bought the system directly from the company in Australia. We bought it ourselves and paid full price for it. We saw a 'distributer' in the UK, but they wanted close to double the price and had similar wait times to simply ordering direct from Australia, so that's why we went direct and just paid some import taxes, which still worked out much cheaper than the UK distributer. The team at Air Buddy have also been amazing on the other end of my emails and questions, for us it's been a very positive after sales service.
Again I've never tried any other products so I am in no way qualified to give any advice other than say that we use this most days and have been enjoying it, we've used it to check on the anchor, clean under the boat mid-season, explore some amazing reefs and do a spot of foraging too. We get close to an hour under the water on my own or about 50 minutes when Carly is attached to it too.
I hope that's answered most of the questions which have come my way but if you have any more then again please do just ask and I'll do my best to answer them from my own anecdotal experience.
nice
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻☺️
hello you beauties, another amazing footage! thank you for sharing these breathtaking locations, keep them coming❤
one Q about the crab foraging, I got told on one of them spearfisher forums I can’t spearfish with a tank, which is fairplay, but am i right to think that’s fair game when foraging crustaceans?😮 ps. really wanted to taste that linguine 😊
Yes you can forage with them. In some areas you need a permit, like Devon for example you need a recreational shellfish permit which is £20 for two years.
So always just check the local bylaws of the areas you intend to forage in, personally I found it easier to just call the IFCA and speak to someone on the phone.
Hope that helps 🙏🏼
@@CadohaAdventures a bunch! thank you heaps and maybe one day see you out there in the water 🙌🏼
Hi guys, great videos, though I'm wondering if this foraging food with air coming from the surface is allowed in the UK? it is considered paoching in France... all the best to you 3
No it's perfectly legal in most of the UK. You need a permit in certain areas (which I have) and you're not allowed to use a speargun whilst using self contained breathing apparatus (scuba, hookah etc).
It's always a good idea to check the local bylaws where you intend to dive though. I was in doubt in a couple of spots and couldn't find the information that I needed, so just picked up the phone to the IFCA and a very helpful chap let me know what was and was not OK for me to hunt whilst using the hookah where we were.
gREAT ! good on you all, i suspected that too since you are always vigilant on the size of the takings. BTW it is allowed to pick up crabs in Norway while scuba diving
@@CadohaAdventures keep up the exploring we hopefully will be roaming your coast next summer (don't shoot the Frenchman please :) )
Everything I say about the French is only ever said in Jest, I love the French, especially the amazing accents 👌🏼@@jean-yvesbarreau9388
If you ever wanted to add something to your website, why not a section on hunting and gathering in the area that you reside in.
Also what do you use to learn how and what you can use?
What was that net underwater.
I looked like some kind of Fishermans net. It was intentionally put there as it was floated on the surface.
I was about to ask about the very same.
Hope you cleared the ghost net
It wasn't a ghost net, it was intentionally laid by the looks of it as it was floated in the surface and the fisherman came and collected it the next day.
I did however find it surprising where it was shot and when speaking with a friend of mine (who happens to be a fisheries officer) he did say that it was shot in an illegal spot as it was clearly way too shallow where it was. So I'll know for next time.
Good stuff
Hey, what diving equipment are you using?
Talland Bay near Looe isn't England
It certainly feels like you're in another part of the world when you're down there 🙏🏻
Do you think if you two put your big boy pants on and we’re very brave, one day you may make it around land’s end, you do know that the UK has more coast than the Solent to land’s end
I mean when we first got Cadoha we sailed from Scotland to Ireland then from Ireland to the south coast and we even popped to the isles of Scilly a couple of times (which certainly seemed to mean heading round Lands-end) as well as a winter crossing of the bay of Biscay a couple of years back during a storm too.
The focus this year was to just build out all the amazing anchorages for people to see just how many amazing places are on offer here and it wasn’t about distance, just (hopefully) building something that can be of use to others.
As for my ‘big boy pants’, I’m sure we’ll be heading to many more places over the years. It’s really enjoyable heading to all these destinations. I’m not sure it takes ‘big boy pants’ to do, I mean it’s not like it’s professional Muay Thai boxing in Bangkok or cage fighting, or all the fights you need to win to be one of the very rare humans to be able to earn a black belt from arguably the toughest team in all the world, the Carlson Gracie lineage of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or anything like that, I mean it’s just travelling at 6mph from one anchorage to another, in the relaxing environment of a well built boat where you can spend your time enjoying a wonderfully slow pace of life, reading a good book whilst watching the world drift by. It’s a much more beautiful pace of life and it’s certainly not something I fear, I look forward to sailing somewhere new in a way that I honestly never looked forward to when it came to doing battle with yet another highly trained man.
This life is beautiful and gentle and I can’t wait to experience much more of it now that I’ve retired my gloves. To be honest I feel no fear at all, only gratitude. I feel very fortunate that I’ve discovered such a wonderful way of life for this next chapter of mine ☺️🙏🏼
