- Join us, Iain and Kate and Intrepid Bear, a 40ft sailboat as we sail away from long term home marina in Poole in the U.K. to begin our adventure sailing around the world.
We say goodbye to Poole and begin on our first leg to Portland enjoying some smooth sailing until we hit a tidal race and take a green wave over the bow! We are lifted out in Portland and begin some underwater boat jobs including fitting a feathering propeller.
As liveaboards we are woken one morning by the marina staff moving our boat as we lay in bed! We then find ourselves told off by the night watchman when he discovers us onboard and have to move off and into bunk beds on Iain’s dad’s fisheries inspection boat moored in the marina.
We finally relaunch and head out to anchor ready for an early departure across Lyme Bay and are bid an emotional farewell by Iain’s dad on his bagpipes!

Loved the bagpipes. ‘Will ye no come back again’ and ‘we’re no awa tae bide awa’, very appropriate. Fair winds.
It was an emotional moment and the pipes just heightened that. Anyway Dad will be glad you enjoyed his playing and if you enjoy piping, Iain is also a piper so there might be the occasional bit of piping as we sail the world. Thanks for following along 😊⛵️
The departure with the bagpipes is magnificent.
It was very emotional but very special 😍😍
Great first episode~! We look forward to catching up. Fair Winds Friends!
Thank you guys…we’ll be checking your channel out later, looking forward to it 😊😊
Great episode Iain and Kate. The roast dinner and chicken dish looked fantastic. Can you show us where you store your food. Do you have a fridge freezer. How long can you stay self sufficient at sea for? Do you have to rely on dry foods for any lengthy periods at sea?
Hi Andy....thanks for your interest. Quite a few questions in one there so let me see what I can do. Can we show you where we store our food? We’ll certainly try and cover that in a future episode although we’re still learning ourselves! (We’ve just filmed a bit of footage relating to a big shopping trip which will probably be ep 3 or 4 so might try and cover a bit of storage there for you 👍🏻) Do we have a fridge freezer? We have a fridge and a freezer, separate units) A normal boat fridge and a small portable freezer....(cont)
(Cont) how long can we stay self sufficient? Well....we’re still learning that ourselves but so far probably 3 weeks eating reasonably and quite a lot longer just on tinned or dry stuff. We haven’t spent long periods totally away from shops yet so it’s something we’re still learning ourselves. Will try to cover some of it in coming episodes and keep you updated....thanks for following along 😊⛵️
Hi you guys might know my dad Jon fewins love your Chanel to! :)
Thank you and yes we both know your dad very well. Great guy, was a pleasure to work with him 😊😊
Wow beautiful pipes ☀️🌟⛵️☀️🌟
I was on the visitors berth when you left.
Wonder stuff 🌟☀️🙏
Wishing everyone safe forever fair winds around the world 🌎 ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🌟☀️🐬🐬🐬🐬
Looking forward to your next episode guys. Very professional.
Sorry Neil, I meant to reply to you a while back. Thanks mate, much appreciated 😊😊
Yo! What a send off!!
Very moving finale, hope your Dad remains fit and well.
Thank you…it was a very emotional moment! And yes Dad remains fit as a fiddle…😊⛵️
@@FollowIntrepidBear I have just slid my boat and purchased a Najad 390 in outstanding condition so am enjoying watching your videos and learning a few Najad ways and behaviours.
You’ll not be sorry at that purchase! The 390 and 391 are almost the same except for the transom. Lovely boats. Really solid and seaworthy, we’ve been buddy boating before when the other boat has had a horrible time in the weather where the Najad has just cruised through on autopilot. Maybe we’ll cross paths one day if we return to Northern latitudes. Cheers 😊⛵️
Well done👍my only comment would be to keep your videos to app. 15 minutes.
Thank you 😊 I will keep that in mind....at least this one was shorter than the prequel episode! 😬 Thanks for watching and your honest feedback 👍🏻
Good idea to get a Featherstream prop, they are excellent. We have one and, touch wood, it is perfect.
Really pleased with it so far. They claim power performance should be “almost” as good as a fixed prop but I’d say, on first impressions, it’s better and much more thrust astern. Not cheap but very pleased 👍🏻
I find that there's no discernable lag between neutral and drive, even on tick over. The only thing has been galvanic corrosion but as you aren't going to be in a marina it should be fine
Bon Voyage 👍☺️
Thanks Richard 😊
You do a great job presenting. Was that a skill you picked up in the police?
Thank you Russell. Very nice of you to say so. The police never directly trained me in presenting but during my time on the police marine unit, I often had to give presentations to yacht clubs and harbour groups etc and I was trained as a motor boat instructor and taught quite a few people both in and out of the police. I guess that certainly helped. I’m glad you like my style and thanks for letting me know as you never know if you’re getting something right unless people tell you.... cheers 😊
Great episode. Love the bagpipes! ♥️
Thank you 😊 It was very moving as we sailed away….
@@FollowIntrepidBear My husband and I both had tears.🤣🤣🤣
Great boat! The hull profile is very similar to that of my Westerly Discus especially the unique cutlass bearing.
Thank you…yes she’s a lovely boat and designed for big seas as yours is. She’ll keep us safe for sure. Thanks for the comment 😊
Just discovered this channel. Great mix of information for learning and story telling. Have subscribed and looking forward to more eps. 👍🏻
Hi, welcome aboard. Great to have you follow along. There’s lots of adventures ahead to catch up to where we are now. The videos take time to make so run a bit behind but we’re bang up to date on Instagram. Anyway thanks for signing up and taking the time to comment. It’s much appreciated 😃⛵️
New subscriber. Congratulations on your adventures ahead. Lucky you. Najad are fantastic yachts
Thank you…yes she is lovely boat for sure ⛵️😎
Bon voyage!! Great first episode, wishing you the safest of travels ⛵
Cheers Charlee 😎⛵️
We’re nay awar tae bide awar. Good choice dad.
A great tune but an emotional moment for sure! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊⛵️
Safe journey and fair winds!
Thank you 😎⛵️
Subscribed! Well done!
Thank you guys....very kind 😊⛵️
Fantastic! Congratulations! Look forward to the next installment!
Thanks Andrew 😎⛵️
Hi Kate and Iain, I have just watched episodes 1 and 2 (in that order) and found them fantastic.
Kate, Wendy told me what you and Iain were doing and put me onto 'Intrepid Bear' I will now carry on and look forward to watching all of the other episodes that you have made.
I have subscribed, as you have asked and wish you both a safe journey around the world and hope that you have many many exciting adventures.
Bon voyage god bless and stay safe.
Hi Wendy and Paul, thank you for subscribing, much appreciated. Hope you enjoy what we’ve done so far and what’s to come. Great to have you follow along. Cheers for now 😊⛵️
Well done ! Bon voyage from British Columbia, Canada.
Thank you 😊 Beautiful part of the world you live in. Hope we get to sail there one day ⛵️
Fabulous episode. Loved the pipes at the end. Envious of your prop, very nice.
Maybe we'll see you on the high seas soon. In the meantime, don't rush down to the Med. There are so many amazing places to see on route. Fair winds ⛵🌊
Thank you so much 😊 Our current plan is to leave the U.K. late July to spend a few months making our way south to our winter berth which may be Gib depending on how their schengen thing works out. Then our only target is to be on Paxos for our 5th Wedding anniversary in June 2022. We sailed a charter boat there to get married in 2017 so it will be poetic to take our own boat in there for our anniversary. And yes it’d be great to meet up with you out there somewhere 😎🍺⛵️
Cracking first Vid. Kenny SCS 😁👍
Cheers Kenny 😎⛵️
Wonderful first episode. Shame we didn't get to see you before you left. Hopefully we will catch you up at some point. Loved the bagpipes, very emotional :)
Thank you guys....yep very emotional but very special 😊 It is a shame we didn’t meet up especially as we were so near to each other but hopefully you’ll pass us in the south west as you head to Scotland and we can share a cold one or two then 🍺🤞🏼😊⛵️
@@FollowIntrepidBear sounds like a good plan 👍😁
Great video, enjoyed seeing local waters and fabulous filming of boat manoeuvres. Skills! Will await your next video with eager anticipation 😊
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 😎⛵️⛵️
Love this! Bon Voyage guys ....can you go via Jersey and sort out those French fishermen 😆
Cheers Keith....yep we’ll sail into Jersey with ma kilt on and the pipes blazing...that’ll sort em! 😂😂
Wonderful! Even had the Sandbanks Ferry to add to my jealousy! Made me nervous thinking of my boating holiday next month (mind you that is on the Broads - I hope Michele Barrett knows what she's letting herself in for!). Enjoy your travels and only one final thing to say on today of all days - May the Fourth be with you!
Cheers Bob. I (Iain) did the broads many years ago with my parents. It was lovely, you’ll have a great time 😎
That was a cracking episode 👏 😁. Love the bagpipes at the end. You both seem so happy, such a lovely video.
Cheers Brynn, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind words. Saying farewell to the old man as he piped us out sure was a tear jerker but a special memory 😊⛵️
Great storytelling!! Very emotional at the end 🥲 so beautiful ❤️
Thank you....it was an emotional departure but a special memory. Thanks for watching 😊
What a fantastic video... really looking forward to following your journey...
You both ‘never’ coming back?
Cheers Matt....Kate is on a career break so of course she is coming back else they wouldn’t have granted it....unless she retires from her career break of course 😉😂 But yes there is no return date, we’ll just keep sailing as long as we enjoy it and are able. 20 years time we might return to a motor boat and maybe retire to a canal boat in our eighties but who knows, as long as it’s fun we’ll be out here cruising 👍🏻⛵️😎
Great job guys 👏👍
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video! Well done guys!
Thank you Alex 😎⛵️
That was great both. Loved it and I know zip about boats etc. Can you cover what camera(s) you are using one day, and any other kit? I ask as my son is doing a filmaking degree and it's rubbing off on me! What editing software are you using. Your shots are steady, so do you use a gimble? What is your drone? If you're wanting feedback/suggestions I would offer that you might invest in a small directional microphone as it's hard to hear Kate speak over the engines. I've subscribed, but wasn't notified automatically. But I'll keep checking as I'm hooked now! I think what you're doing is fantastic. Bon voyage.
Hi Sean. Thank you very much for your kind words. Firstly the notification you need to click the little bell to get auto notified 👍🏻 Camera equipment I will perhaps cover in an episode at some stage but for now I use a GoPro hero 9, a canon EOS600D and an iPhone 11 Pro. The GoPro gets used most and does the stabilisation without a gimbal. I do have a DJI osmo 3 gimbal for the iPhone but haven’t needed it yet. The drone is a DJI Mini 2 but I also have a DJI Phantom 3 which is better for moving boats as it has legs to catch it again! The editing software was Lumafusion on an iPad for the test episode and then I moved to DaVinci Resolve (which is free!) on a powerful gaming laptop. I also have a pixma direction mic and a Rode Lavalier (lapel) mic and the mics feed into a Tashcam DR05X stereo voice recorder. The mics take a bit of setting up and not that easy to use with the GoPro but I do use them in particularly noisy environments. Noted about Kate being drowned by engines. The bit in the boatyard I didn’t intend her to be heard but I can see that could have caused confusion and I will focus on sound as much as I can in future episodes. It is a compromise though as just switching on the GoPro is one button. To record the sound separately requires the mics and recorder and then syncing the voice later but it’s worth doing sometimes and I’ll certainly pay attention to audibility as I can’t stand videos that you can’t hear properly so I don’t want to be one of them! Anyway thanks for the kind words and considered feedback...hope you enjoy the future episodes and cheers for following along 😊😊
Wow! Is there no end to your skills?! Thanks for the insight.
Just discovered you.
Thanks Jim. Hope you enjoy the journey 😊⛵️
@@FollowIntrepidBear hello we will be heading to the MED next year, looking forward to the journey you have done, and the one before you
We should still be in the Med next year so hopefully we can hook up for a cold one (or 3!) 🍺🍺😎⛵️☀️
Fair winds.
Is this a Scottish thing?
I think it’s just an Iain thing! 😊⛵️
