Great video guys
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Love you guys!
Love you too. Really appreciate all your support! 😁😁😁⛵️🍻
great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love you guys and thank you for taking the time out to make this vlog xx
It’s our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed coming along for the ride. 👌🏼
Great video looking forward to your video 👍
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😁
Great video, thanks for all the laughs - see yoooouuu, oops! 😂
Love watching all 3 of you guys 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for hanging out with us Lisa 😁⛵️
I hope you popped into Helford on your way West, if you didn’t try it out on the way back and take the dinghy down to the Shipwrights Arms, they do a great pint of Proper Job. Well done guys, great video.
We will certainly be heading that way soon. So far we’ve just been exploring coves and anchorages along the south west coast, but really looking forward to heading up some of the rivers as summer starts to turn to autumn.
Hope you guys are keeping well on your Mediterranean adventures. Saw you had some issues in Croatia, although I hope the overall experience of being there was still a net positive one? 🤞🏼🤞🏼
@@CadohaAdventures yes I’m certainly glad we’ve sailed Croatia as it is stunning, but I wouldn’t go back there. Advising other People on wether to go is tricky though, I think I would still say yes if you’re happy to know you will be mercilessly ripped off wherever you go!
By the way if the tides aren’t right you may be best anchoring in the deeper pool close to the mouth of the Hellford and take the dinghy up to the pub
I so enjoyed this. I was born in Dartmouth and moved to Plymouth when i was 10 and now live in New Zealand where i own a Maurice Griffiths Golden Hind 31(Janine) ) that was made - in Plymouth and sailed to NZ by a previous owner. Sailing my own boat into Dartmouth is on my retirement bucket list which is why i appreciate this episode so much. Wonderful to see the footage walking out to Sugary Cove, so many early memories from there. Thank you so much - Roland Sommer
You both are different from other channels, more natural. And it’s a joy to watch your videos!
As your heading down west, try stopping off at Looe, if you want to try the best pastie in Cornwall (Sarah’s). Looe’s river is tidal, but you can anchor off the beach, if the tide is out. Looe is my home town, but I’m in California, be great to see home via your channel. Video and drone footage is great, keep it up and stay safe. Kind regards Aaron.
Loved the laughter, so authentic! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Great vlog you guys have got to link up with Mads and Ava from sail life now they are in the south of England
Yes we're really hoping to meet up with them over the winter 🙏🏻🙏🏻
See youuuu
I’m not sure Carly can shake it! 🤨
Brilliant Video guys. You're having just the best time. Thank you for sharing your life with us
Love your videos! Hank is so cute!🐕
Thanks, June, and yes, doesn’t Hank just know it too 😂😂😬
And again Hank is the Star of the Show. Fair Winds and following seas.
Yes he is indeed 🙏🏻
You should watch the fish locker on CZcams for all your fishing and foraging needs 👍
Funny you say that, it’s my favourite channel right now 😁😁😁
Once again; video, music, Hank, editing brings great joy.
Thank you soooo much!
Fair winds and following seas!
Glad you enjoyed it 😁🙏🏻⛵️
your kit looks like a nice purse - LOL
Ha ha, yea, that’s fair 🤣
Loved hank and the fist pump ... awesome.
He's a star 😁
Great video again, thanks for taking us along on the adventure. I'm constantly surprised how beautiful southern England is! Can't wait to explore there one day, too.
Very nicely put together video - again.👍
Oooo I miss Mr Hank . All good here in Brest ? waiting for a weather break to cross the bag of broken Biscuits ! Monday looks good , we will sail off out beyond the shelf . Wish us luck x
Best of luck guys, I hope the weather gods and good to you!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼⛵️
Interesting that you splurged for a new engine cover. In British Columbia, we often take new motors and new engine covers down to their primer coat and paint them gray, black or WHY. Overall, it reduces theft because the crooks can't tell what motor you have or what model year it is so they are less likely to steal your motor. Fishing:? You are better off fishing from your boat or dinghy than from shore, at least in most cases.
Ha ha, yes that makes sense, to be fair I kept the old cover for anywhere that looks a bit sketchy 😁
So glad you all are back! Missed you guys.
We didn’t go anywhere, David, just made a few less videos while we had to get real jobs again for a while 😂😂😂
Hope you’re keeping well. 🙏⛵️🍻
Don't worry mate, I've also got the 'Jaws' syndrome.
It's so bad that even in swimming pools, I will not go in by myself. I need company.
Wonderful - Dartmouth beautiful in the sunshine
It's such an amazing spot, we love it!
New engine cover looks smart, I hope you kept the old one for those not so safe areas where a smart looking outboard is a tempting target.
Fair winds to you both ⛵️⚓️⛵️
Thank you 😁
For DOM freediving is good. Sharks are OK. I know of two (2) I personally wouldn't pet. On the other hand, I wouldn't pet any of them. Most will stay away... most!
I'll post a link as a reply as utubes AI sometimes delete comments with links attached.
Enjoy your live(s).

Remember, it's very rare.
Thumbs up for the fishing and lobster segment!
Love the outtakes.
Yay more Hank
The star ⭐️
Agreed 😁
Hi, I catch sea bass with a little strip of smokey bacon on a hook dangled off the side of the boat when i'm anchored, I caught Five one day near Lymington, One of them was 52cm!.
What a fantastic channel you have become. Entertaining, friendly, genuine, and abve all great content. Another terrific episode. Once again I have shared, liked and made a comment. Well done guys.
Great vids getting better and better. But an outboard use without a kill cord is recipe for disaster.
It’s a really old outboard (nearly 40yrs old) they didn’t build them with kill cords back then 😬🥺
I get the age of the motor but it is not too hard to retrofit a kill switch. I've done it on two old outboards in the past.
i love your channel i'm french and my dream is meet you in real life
Fantasic channel - both for ther content, the what if, the "have we forgoten any thing?" how to, and not how to, and last but DEF not least, --- VIDS OF Hank, I miss my dog but too old to take on another.
08:45 onwards your dog is like “sure I’m sexiest sailor Sir of the doggies on CZcamss, talk highly on me woman”…fist pump. Gold 😅
Dominic, I get your fear of the water...I have the same Spielberg Syndrome...I lived in Belize when I was a kid and snorkelled everywhere and wasn't scared of anything until I saw Jaws 1....since then I have big Issues!...I have decided to do a Scuba course to help overcome the issue as I know how important it will be for me to be willing to dive in if my prop is fouled etc...Hmmm.. Lets see how it goes.
I don't doubt that I would jump in and try and fix things if I had a fouled prop, because I'd have to, I just know how scared I'll likely be whilst in the moment, perhaps?
But then again I was always terrified of the idea of being beaten up and ended up pursuing a fairly long career in combat after what started as self defence classes, although the fear never really left me, I just got used to it, and the same goes for heights, I'm almost paralysed with terror after a certain height and yet managed to work as a rigger last year to earn some money, and the fear never fully left me, but, I got so used to it that I gradually become a bit more capable working at height.
The retro engine cover is a game changer, it will 100% improve that lobster game! See you!
Ha ha, well so far, when it comes to fishing, I could do with all the help I can get. 😂
@@CadohaAdventures I feel your pain, I have a little Westerly Nimrod and so far have a zero catch rate!
There’s a boating channel called Aquaholic who recently went in to that house that’s for sale. Cracking spot with its own tender hoist and dock in to the river!
It looks like a great spot, and we'll be sure to stock up on a few scratch cards, just in case 😂🙏🏻
Glad I stumbled on your channel, somehow the Google algorithm must have picked up I used to live in Dartmouth Jebus big brother ! Subscribed and looking forward to the next vlog 🙌🍻 live the dream !
Welcome aboard! 😁
Your fishing kit looks like one of Cali’s old Gucci bags 💼😂😂
I was going for the Indiana Jones satchel look, it seems I failed 😂
Great to see you enjoying Dartmouth. Could I ask you to wear a lifejacket, especially when you go out on your own. If you get the right lifejacket, it is perfectly comfortable. Without it, you are toast…
(& kill-cord)
Brilliant 👏🤣🤣🤣
Hi. Love your channel. I subscribe and watch every episode. If you're stopping off near Plymouth on your way west, it would be great to meet up for a doggy walk. Our Vizsla Bertie would love to meet Hank!
10 pm is sailor's midnight but you get to enjoy the beautiful early mornings - i agree a great time of the day.
Nice new outboard cover, making it very attractive temptation to the less honourable. But where did the old one go, landfill?
Great to see the little lobster go back. You'll soon be plucking those north sea monsters!
We really enjoy the pace of your vids. You're merging subjects nicely - good segways.
Keep up your amazing travels!
Thank for the feedback, always welcome. We have kept the old one, we put it back on if we’re in sketchy looking areas and also to hoist the outboard back on the boat etc, keep the new one looking fresh and just break it out when we’re among respectable looking company 😬😬😂⛵️
I was in Dartmouth mid July for a sailing trip heading East, didn’t call in a Salcombe so interested to see what it looks like from the water 😁, oh and imitation is the best form of flattery so I’m sure Mads won’t mind 😂
That lure is a great bit of kit, I go down to Padstow every year, never fails to catch a Bass
Can you do a patron feed back .. before I join
I’m not even sure what that would entail? Is that something on the actual platform? If so I’ll be sure to check that out for you. 😁⛵️
Hey guys Don't discard that old engine cover! That old cover is a great theft deterrent in some parts of the world. Which would you steal?
One you thought was new or one that looked old.
Just a thought
Keith Robinson
SV YOLO
I agree 100%. Plus we put the old cover back on when we lift the engine and stow it etc to avoid scratches on the new one 😬😁
Have you thought about or allowed to drop a lobster pot or similar of the side of boat when at anchor? Just got to that bit of vid lol
Yes, just didn’t think there would be any lobsters in the river, I imagined they’d all be further out by the rocks 😁
loving the new manoeuvres, just a quite tip... you'll find fish under your boat after a day at anchor .... dip a small spinner and see what happens
Hi loverly video
May I ask …..do you have to pay to anchor at Dartmouth. It looks truly beautiful.
Wishing everyone forever best wishes. ☀️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🙏🌟🧜♀️🧜♀️
Hello there yes you do, it’s about £10 a night to anchor there, or if you want to stay longer term (as we did the previous year) then you can buy an annual river pass for about £100 and then anchor for free all year after that. We were there for 7 weeks last year exploring up and down the river at anchor, so it made sense ⛵️👍🏽
@@CadohaAdventures Thank you do much for this information
WOW that is amazing value for moneys.
Wishing yourselves
and all
Amazing beautiful sailing futures. ☀️😊😊🐶⛵️🌟🙏🌟🌎
Jaws did not come out in 1981.
Did someone say it did? 😬
Just had a look at Duttons website for that amphibious car and it is a 90s web design time capsule!
It's a hilarious car, brilliant, head turning, eccentric, I love it 😁
What boat do you have? Great videos
Luck with catching lobster, does look good.
Don't give up your day job :)
Ha ha, yes I'm not sure much more than starvation will be on the menu at this rate 😂
Question, if I may. What do you do about doggy toilet when you’re off shore?
When he's super desperate he goes on the deck, but it's very rare and so until he gets the hang of it, we're just day sailing with him as we explore, which has actually been pretty awesome so far.
I hope you took the opportunity to go "creek crawling" in Salcombe ( exploring the drying areas in the dinghy when the tide is flooding) Some very interesting creeks (waterfront properties) beyond the fuel barge to the starboard side, but I havent yet tried the Millbrook Inn in Southpool as the tide started to ebb.
When we got to Salcombe we did indeed trek up the creeks, we actually anchored out right down the river about as far as we could go and then went exploring further by dingy!
Good shout and some very stunning properties indeed 😳😳😳
Went to Salcombe only a few weeks ago beautiful place still unspoilt by major tourism.
It is a lovely spot, even more so the further you head down the river! 😬😳😳⛵️
Loved the video and I think fishing bag is a great idea. If you really want to catch some crabs with your trap bait it, raw chicken neck or back bone tied tightly to the top of the trap, and you will see results.
If you get desperate and decide to take you hunter gatherer skills to the local open market please take the Go Pro cause I’m keen to see how that will turn out!
I have a feeling I'll end up vegan at this rate 😔
Enjoyment!
Ah! Lobster… can’t wait until you get a regulation sized pot ready lobster. Thanks for showing him, I was under the impression lobsters with claws were only in North America and the rest of the world just live with oversized shrimp like in the Southern Hemisphere… 👍🙂
You and me both! Although they're doing a great job of alluding me 😂😂😂
15 min of my life well spent 🤗 thank you! How did you teach Hank to fist bump 👊 ?
I am sure Hank would have loved a soak in the bath as well
Want to come just up the river to the boat yard I'm working on my yacht there 6 months in the making and half way there... Also did anyone give you any trouble for anchor there I just hurd your not allowed I'm currently looking for somewhere anchor mine when I'm done
Hey John, no we had no issue anchoring there, in fact many boats came and went, the harbour master even told us where to anchor. So unless something has changed in the last few weeks, you’re very much allowed to anchor there 🙏😁⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures oh thanks for letting me know
On your travels if you spy a mast around 16 to 18 meater I'd love to know where as I don't want to fork out for new one
I'd appreciate that a lot
I live not far in Paignton if I have known you were in area I would have took you fishing but only found your chanel 15 mins ago
See you to
Alone In a dinghy without a lifejacket early in the morning, living dangerously...
Dartmouth is an absolutely amazing place. We were there in May of this year, and went on the Town Quay. Can I ask please what dealer you bought your Highfield Rib from? Thanks. All the best Daryl.
We got it directly from highfield, they contacted us about a hard bottom dingy, I think they were possibly based in Eastleigh? Can’t be sure though as they collected our dingy from a warehouse in Devon and then delivered it to us in Itchen.
@@CadohaAdventures Thank you. What size did you go for? It really helps me as I wasn't sure if to go for the 290 or 310, and the two of you plus a dog would give me a good idea. Thanks for your help. All the best Daryl.
@@SVDreamCatcher1 no worries. We went for the 290, which is ample for us. It’s quite heavy, but deals with the sea well when there’s some swell.
@@SVDreamCatcher1 try this guy he was super helpful for us, he’s the chap in the video! Ntuck@hendy-group.com
@@CadohaAdventures Hi, Thank you ever so much. We sailed from Chatham to Ramsgate at the end of April, and then sailed directly from Ramsgate to Brixham. We stayed down in Devon and Cornwall for two months on the boat. When we were in Brixham I contacted Rob Perry marine. I rang 3 times, and no one ever came back to me!!! I liked the way that guy delivered on the trailer. I actually met you in Chatham Marina when you doing the rigging, Pav left a card on my boat. I wish you two all the best, and Hank!!! Hopefully our paths will cross again sometime in the future. I use to watch your boat on the Creo channel. I'm really impressed with the way that you've improved the boat. We have Bavaria 42 Cruiser, she's absolutely beautiful, and we love her. We have Simpson davits with lewmar winches on the back of the boat, and that's where the Highfield will live. The weight won't really be an issue, but I think we will probably go for the 290. Take care. All the best Daryl.
Some info for fellow cruisers would have been good. How was the navigation through the entrance, any current with or against you. Was there a bar like I believe there is on the way in to Salcombe? The spot you anchored in looked to be inside the estuary a bit and I believe that most of this part of the river is populated with moorings. Did you have to pay to anchor and what was the depth? Have a look into harvesting edible seaweed and sprouting seeds on your journey to self sufficiency. "Sailing the farm" might be a good book to look out for.
Im am moored upriver on the Dart, beyond Dittisham so know it well. There is no bar the current depends on the tide 2 knots ish at springs but the navigation is easy, sometimes it gets a bit lumpy with wind over tide in the areas of the Dartmouth and Kingswear castles but otherwise its a doddle. Cadoha have anchored several hundred yards upstream from the lower car ferries (which have right of way under all circumstances) and are at the only anchoring spot on that part of the river as its busy with ferries and tourist trip boats, (more anchor areas further upstream.) There are also visitors pontoons a little further upstream 500 yards ish. Want any more info look on visitmyharbour.com or the Dart harbour website or just reply to this post, I am happy to help where I can. Your biggest hazard in the area is The Skerries and START POINT 10 miles west where it can be lumpy even at slack tides with no wind and current up to 3 knots ish.
I'll be sure to bare that in mind for future videos to try and make them a bit more useful, but I think for the Dart, John just nailed it for us both 🙏🏻😁⛵️
@@johnfoster3286 Many thanks John. Currently I am ashore in Totnes boatyard unable to stay overnight on my boat, bought end of last year for cruising off in my now retirement, they say it's a fire hazard if I do! So in order to prep it for getting gone I have to find alternative accommodation in order to get anything done. Currently I am in Chester so even getting to the boat is a hurdle because I don't currently run a car, (I decided it was not justified as my plans were to get aboard the boat and be off ASAP). Big concerns for me are what happens if the engine quits before I get to deeper water and when I get to water that is deep enough to anchor do they charge for putting your own anchor down? I think I can mitigate against an engine failure by installing an outboard bracket on the stern and having that ready to go in the event of a problem but that far up a river, finding accommodation in the peak of holiday season and the fact that the boat is new to me are concerns. Any thoughts?
@@crikycrocky contact me on johnfoster730@gmail.com (I live on my own and am 75yrs young. Need to talk prior to me letting a room on a bus route to totnes. TQ4 7EX
@@CadohaAdventures Thank you young man but it is just local knowledge, keep producing the vids its a skill I do not have
Have you looked at the small refillable air tanks? Fill with a hand pump, gives like 15min of air, but if you are conservative child be 30....
Hm, the pennies per episode for adverts has been troubling me. Do they claim ownership of shared content? What do they pay you when watchers buy premium membership? Am quite earnest in enquiry. Congrats on 1st lobster and responsible put back.
Did I see a canine give a fist bump? Too much Hank, the humans will catch on!
Drew
Hey Drew. Not quite no, they overlay an add onto the video and we ‘split’ the ad revenue, which per view of an advert (non skipped) is worth a few cents each.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer.
@@CadohaAdventures Alright, thank you for early morning response.
If you get an opportunity to direct me to where my other questions might have answers... Would be glad as ngo is in planning stage. Why ask you then? Humm, it is sailing related, engish lanquage, and Commonwealth centred. Also the three of you strike me as careful in your boundless optimism. That is important.
Drew
Clip that dogs nails...
They have been. Although it always makes me nervous to do it 😳
