- Why we love living on a sail boat, because we get to move freely, love off-grid and explore places like this!
We take a look around a £15,000,000 island that's for sale and wonder, if we won the lottery, would we buy it? Would you?
To see all the amazing places we've visited then check our website out at www.cadoha.com
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.
This is one of the most incredibly creative and informative channels on CZcams.
Thank God no one was triggered by sanding or power tools. It’s easy perhaps to forget since this is entertainment that we are privileged to be invited to share a part of your life, if you do something I don’t like I can simply not watch that part. By the way, I don’t like to watch an animal being killed but that’s my issue; it’s your life, we are just lucky to be along for the ride. So thank you for the videos, all of them. Strange times.
Norton ST Philip The George Inn 1397 just south of Bath . The Hanging judge Jeffreys held court here . I believe it was an inn built as a guest house for a monastery originally . Very atmospheric , historical place , certainly worth a visit . Holds one of oldest continuous alcohol licences in the UK , and sits in a lovely rural village . Gorgeous .
If you are in Salcombe again , I recommend the Fortesque , ask for the Fort , or the Island Sailing Club bar . Burgh island was used for a Poirot , the belgian detective , location .
The "Ye Olde trip to Jerusalem" in Nottingham build in 1189. Half of it built into a cave under Nottingham Castle. According to locals, Lion Hearts men drank there before leaving for the Crusade....how true that is I could tell you. But I can tell its definitely worth a visit it a fantastic pub. Thanks for making the videos enjoy.
prefer the salutation inn lol
Salcombe, Burgh Island and the River Yealm are all gorgeous locations. Although expensive, Burgh Island is a one in a million place and if you can go and stay, it is well worth it - we went 10 years ago and it was glorious.
We anchored on the eastern side of the island but had to move on to Salcombe because of the swell. Wish we had seen your anchoring video before hand. We ended up in Starehole Bay for the night which was great and free. We moved onto Salcombe the next morning and spent 4 nights there. We've been before and love the town.
Thanks for all the work you do regarding the anchorages. It's fantastic and helps us all out.
Cheers, the crew from Willow II.
Well we're busy this year really trying to crack the swell mitigation in the anchorages. We have't fully cracked it yet but I think we've managed to crack it about 90% of the time so far, between a stern anchor, swell bridle and next up I'm going to be playing with a weighted 'sea anchor' off the side of the boat.
We really want to open all of these 'swelly' anchorages up and then share how we get on with everyone so that others too can feel comfortable in the more remote places.
We'll battle test them all and then let you all know how it goes so you can make a more informed decision as to whether or not you fancy staying in them too.
We know water time is brief and precious for many and so most people stick to what they know to be reliable destinations, which totally makes sense. Hopefully the anchorages section on the site can help out there and we'll spend our time shining a light on some cracking new places for people who haven't ventured to them yet ☺️👌🏼
Cadoa crew your videography just gets better and better, I’m sure I passed Dom with Hank when you may have been in plymouth At mayflower marina village back along walking down Richmond walk but was in the car and being a dark road wasn’t sure wether to take the opportunity to say hi, keep up the excellent work always watching
Feel free to come and say hi whenever. If I seem distracted or my mind is elsewhere then that's because I'm a perpetual daydreamer and I'm also fairly deaf, so if I ever seem to be ignoring anyone, chances are I just haven't heard them ☺️
Agatha Christie’s Poirot ‘Evil Under the Sun’
Ian La Frenais’ Lovejoy Mysteries ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’
… and other cinematic wonders were filmed on Burgh Island.
What a charming and idyllic setting.
Agatha Christie story timed at the Hotel. Think it was Poirot. A good cafe on the mainland before you get the water tractor over to the island. Beautiful part of the country with some fantastic pubs about that sale proper beer.
On a super bright sunny day I entered The Pilchard, so dark and gloomy my eyes hadn't adjusted and I fell over the barmaid who was bending over,,,,,she didn't mind and I enjoyed a delicious pint of Pilchard.
There seems to be no shortage of beautiful places for you to visit! And can’t wait to see the footage of you on your new paddle board! 😂
I drove the sea tractor for a summer back in 1985, with free accommodation thrown in the Island was bought for £236,000. By developers from Sue Waugh who had owned it for years
No way? That's awesome. Did the sea tractor ever break down mid trip? and wow, 236k? That'll be quite the return if the island sells! 😳
@@CadohaAdventures yes the sea tractor got stuck once or twice, had to wait for the tide to drop and if it had been rough dig out the tyres , I remember the clutch played up and we had to replace it on the beach, fun times but a wonderful place spent many years windsurfing there
@@CadohaAdventures
They had to spend a small fortune refitting and redecorating it but its a bit of an art Nouveau wonder and the history of who's who has stayed there is amazing. They also built a isolated cabin room. Jettied out over the rocks..😉 Word has it its very popular for😂 honeymooners..
Epic. Another fantastic region.
Carly's smile could light up a whole room!
Yes. Ye Old Trip used to be my local. Fabulous pub!
The Adam and Eve in Norwich opened approx 1240, really nive pub pretty close to the catehrdral and Law courts innorwich. Well worth a visit.
As soon as they pulled out the plastic glasses I'd have kept on walking to a more authentic pub
We absolutely love bigbury-on-sea ❤️❤️ one of our fav beaches! Was really great to meet you both in the Flapjackery shop in Fowey! Hank was very well behaved 👍
Always a groovy video. You two are the best.
Breathtaking!!! ♥️⛵️
Stunning! Just love these videos!
awsome stuff xxx
Thanks for another great video !!
Thoroughly enjoyable, Cadoha crew, and thanks for this wonderful episode! Cheers from the Wet Coast of Canada 🇨🇦 Victoria BC.
We're big fans from BC too, currently on the lower mainland but edging back toward my lifelong home on the island (our boat is in Ladysmith so we're making progress).
I love how Cadoha is finding beauty close to home!
Top notch guys!
older pubs I was born and raised in St.Albans Hertfordshire there is a pub there called Ye olde Fighting cocks. it says its been in Business since 793AD
I always drop in on the East side tucked in as far as the tide allows and gives great shelter from ground swell at low tide and moderate shelter at high from the west. Anything East of SW to NE is a no go.
I have been using you anchorage website and stayed at Lake pier Poole Dorset last week. brilliant thank you.
Very cool. So glad to hear that it’s come in of some use 🙏🏼🙏🏼😊
Did you go to shore at all and have a walk around the lake/ woods?
@@CadohaAdventures yes I did thank you. The little lake is lovely 👍
I takes me so happy to think that other people are seeing the things we've seen and enjoyed off of the back of putting that site together, it just makes me now want to get into as many places as possible to shine an even bigger light on our home shores 🙏🏻☺️
The Hotel was used in the Hercule Poirot Series on TV
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
The Bluebell in at Tattershall Thorpe is 11th Century
During the fifties we used to go to Bantham regularly on holiday and talk to the people who lived there - it’s pronounced “ Borough” Island like Borough Market.
If you get a chance to head up the Avon on sup or tender, I promise you won't regret it Dom. We used to keep our lift keel Hunter near the top; it's the jewel in the crown of South Hams. Enjoy and keep up the great work.
Well now we both have paddle boards then perhaps we'll make a mini adventure of it 🙏🏻☺️
@@CadohaAdventures just watch Hank doesn't leave scratches in that lovely new board. Ps. Bass everywhere up there on the flood.
They should rate the achorages on Hanks approvla level. 5 hanks the best. Keep your dog on a leash. 1 hank. ect.
Now you're talking 👍🏽
i remember celebrity Chef/Wanker James Martin doing a great program from the island well worth a watch !!
Next time you are in Salcombe go gunkholing (exploring creeks on a rising tide by dinghy) Just past the fuel barge and to starboard is waterhead creek and south pool creek, then heading beyond all the mooring up toward kingswear is frogmore creek, in my mind worth a visit, but then I like gunkholing and the villages and pubs and lime kilns in peoples gardens that can be found. Wishing you all the best.
We have actually been up some of those creeks a couple of years back when we anchored in the 'Bag' so I'm with you on exploring the more remote nooks and crannies on offer 🙏🏻
@@CadohaAdventures So many yachties just visit nearest town and dont explore the real possibilities. Keep up your brilliant work with the vids.
Wondering what the taxes are on something like that where it is? Usually, that is the real killer.
Absolutely beautiful underwater sceneries and landscapes there, unknown and under appreciated no doubt!
There were very few people in the water, although the pub was plenty busy so that at least looked very much appreciated 🤣
@@CadohaAdventures Probably would be better off with emphasis on ecotourism rather than very old drinking spot, but then again, better for nature lovers!
Challenge accepted - for many years I used to live near The Royal Standard of England, Forty Green near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire and it claimed to be the oldest freehouse in England at "more than 900 years old", whatever that means.
Presumably not the oldest pub in England or Britain or the UK ...
1100-ish
Hi Cadoha - we are newbie liveaboards and we have been following you since the beginning, we are in St Mawes Bay and think that maybe you just dinghied past our purple boat - ? If that was you it would be lovely to meet up depending on your plans of course. Richard & Debbie
I enjoyed the video and the editing and camera work was up to the usual high standard. But one issue I thought was done voice over seemed to sound quite condescending, compared to the usual. Normally it’s your “normal” tone, as in the live stuff to camera. But this just felt different. It might just be me, but it didn’t sound right. I do like your stuff and I’ve been following for ages and this is the first time I’ve felt this about the vocals. Sorry if it causes upset, and like I said it might be me.
Doesn't cause upset at all. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts 👌🏼🙏🏻
There is a old ship wreck called the herzogin cecilie just outside Salcombe in Starhole bay. You may be able to see it on the cliffs
Ahh I didn't know that. I may have tried diving it for lobsters if I had. Well I say that, I'm not sure I'd have braved the water with how fast the kids in speed boats were going when we pulled into have a look 🤣😬
Not much of it now though, has a bit of a interesting story of how it got there
Salcombe is fabulous although the price of property is now utterly crazy. Burgh Island is a relative bargain compared to some of the property there.
.
Sorry if this is a repeat post from FB, but am dying to understand your blue hose underwater breathing system which seems almost sci-fi like! Please tell all😎
Hello there Alex. This is the system we use: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM
We haven't got around to reviewing it yet, as such, because we both wanted to use it for the season first before we put our thoughts out on it. We use it most days and enjoy it, although I don't really have any points of reference to compare it to as it's the only device of its kind that I've ver used.
I'd prefer to have a beer with you instead - wherever 🍻😎
You have a min Rocna for the dinghy? 😲
Can’t be too carful 😬😂
Hi , is it duty free on this Island ? could we crowd fund it and claim independence ? ,an amazing place and another amazing video . Hank for King .❤👍👍🐶👍
Hey Dom, quick question…. I’ve searched for anything about your Hookah but no luck. Which model is it as I know there are loads around now. Just wondered how you rate it? I also spearfish but breathhold is shocking so was considering getting one. Also to keep on the boat when I finally splash…. Great video again btw. I’m definitely going to make use of the anchorage guide in the future so thank you. It looks like invaluable advice and thanks for the effort that goes into it. 🎉
Hello Fraser, this is the hookah we're using: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM
It's the only one we've ever used so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but feel free to ask me any questions you may have and I'll try my best to answer them. I use this most days now and enjoy it, but again, I have nothing to compare it to other than free-diving.
Also worth noting that spearfishing in the UK is illegal with one of these. Foraging is mostly OK though, but do check local bylaws as some areas require you to have a permit.
@@CadohaAdventures thanks for that… I was aware that it was illegal but haven’t looked into it too much. It would mainly be for use under the boat and also to suss out some good foraging spots.
It's great for recon and just exploring generally. We've used it for a mid season scrub on the bottom and I'm sure it'd be useful for sorting a fouled anchor or prop too. I think it's a great addition to the boats systems, but that may just be me rationalising the money I shelled out for it 🤣
You know what I mean, "Yes dear, I know it cost a lot, but it could save our lives and can you really put a price on that?" 😬@@__fraser
@@CadohaAdventures yes, I know that feeling only too well, however, nowadays, I only have to justify it to myself which actually ends up being harder! Thanks again for taking the time to reply and the explanation about buying direct and a little kickback to Hank seals the deal I think
I’m a local and never heard that Burgh like Bur with a silent g
Any plans to go further afield, Channel Islands or further South.
Yes for sure, lots of plans, but following Brexit, sadly, many of this plans now have to wait until Hank is in his happy hunting ground in the sky. He's our first priority, the sailing is second to Hank and we don't want to keep having to quarantine him and make him go through hell repeatedly.
So we will be spending the rest of Hanks short little life exploring as many anchorages around the UK as we possibly can, with the aim to document 500 of them for the anchorages page on our website for everyone to enjoy.
That'll be Hanks legacy. 🙏🏻🐕
@@CadohaAdventures Thanks for the reply , We shall look forward to seeing many more years exploring the British Isles…
Hank (and the rest of the CADOHA crew) would be very welcome in the Channel Islands! @@CadohaAdventures
It’s Salcombe...as in Saul.....not Salcombe as in Sally. Just sayin 😁
