1. Glad your safe and your boat is ok ,We are gettung simular weather down under south oz this past few weeks .

2. We call that a bit blowy in Australia. It would have a different perspective with a crew, but you showed just what is involved in single handing a yacht in less than ideal conditions. Overfalls would be my last choice in that wind.

3. I was hit by a gale and similar seas in the Celtic sea. Destroyed my AIS and chartplotter, my engine didn't work so opted to head further offshore to safety. Great footage you have here. All good fun isn't it!? Fair winds.

4. Thank you for sharing your voyage with us , did a solo circumnavigation of Ireland two years ago and had every kind of weather , thankfully the force ten was short lived, 6hours and I was 15 miles from shore , a great way to get to know your boat .
   Cheers John

5. Hi, I'm new to your channel and am a sailor myself. I love channels I can learn from. I am interested to know why you would change course for an overtaking vessel. Particularly when the new course put you in a worse position. Thanks for sharing.

6. * Lawrenny Arms anchorage***
   Hello, as a sailor in the UK (Wales) now living in Australia, I've done some sailing around that area. I was in my way to the Scillies on one trip but making no headway along the Cornish coast. The weather forecast was getting much grimmer, so I turned towards Milford for shelter. I highly recommend Lawrenny, just a bit further up the Cleddau river. You can moor just off the Lawrenny Arms pub and shelter from wind in the steeply sided valley. It's a delightful and safe spot.

7. The forecaster would have known that the wind would "back" as the front passed over, perhaps he should have said so 🤔

8. I worked on tugboats for 30 years and now I've been looking at sailboats to buy for making passages. I dithered around and missed out on a 32 foot pearson vangaurd with a brand new 3 cylinder universal diesel for 12 thousand. I've seen the same going for 40 thousand. After watching this and similar videos I'm starting to think that maybe ive spent enough time on the water and should buy a diesel pusher motorhome instead.

9. Hi I have just discovered your channel, I love your no BS approach to everything. What is your boat? Fair winds and calm seas , Reg

10. I was almost sea sick with those waves – I know the camera doesn't really capture the true situation – all I could think was how brave you were.

11. I hope you were able to change that switch so that it can no longer be inadvertently switched off with ‘a bump of a shoulder’ as it sounds pretty critical.

12. You were lucky to have managed to pull away from the blown on position at Holyhead marina pontoon without any damage. You managed to get some good footage, without seeing it you wouldn't believe how rough it can get very quickly. Sadly it's winds like that from the NE that did all the damage there.

13. Shouldnt you be tucked up in a berth at the top of a river ?
    Why are you out alone ?

14. scary waves around 15:00, and you say these were small compared to the ones later? Holy cow. Nothing I would like to put my 26 ft boat in… good you're save.

15. I have been around there twice both in heavy conditions and thought you had gone over the falls, nice video hope you have protected the switches, love the way the masts are leaning in Milford.

16. Wow! Respect! Well done. I have been in this area, but fortunatly with less wind and waves. Best regards from a sailor from germany

17. Might I suggest you look into getting an external mic and get a wind sock, it will help cut down on the wind noise. It looks like things went from bad to worse weather wise. Does this mean it will get worse durning the winter, and do you plan to continue sailing, or will you take the season off?

18. The camera never seems to show waves as big as they are, and the ones you filmed looked rather large! I can only image what it was like actually there. Thanks for sharing!

19. Its always amazing how fast wind can pick up and scare the shit out of you…well it was nice when we started😃😃😃
    Its always nice when the tops of the waves are being ripped off by the wind😃

20. I wonder what weather sources you are using? The standard of harbours is very disappointing. Holyhead should have a secure harbour area, the port earns significant revenue from the ferries, it would take much to build some proper breakwaters and even some barriers to close in extreme conditions. Barriers stop waves and swell reaching berthing areas.

21. Theres no sound like winds ripping through those lines at a marina. It like cold music.

22. Great video mate, glad you are safe and sound – fairer seas hopefully in the future

23. If you are not a sailor….if you are not a solo sailor….if you have never been caught out in high seas and violent monstrous seas…you have no idea what sheer terror feels like. You feel like you are in a washing machine and someone is going to add more water to the basket to see if they can kill you off.

24. Great video shippers. I expect the Matelots were rather glad of some excitement. Well done all 💪🇬🇧⚓️

25. Is this my old sailing buddy Paul?? 🤔

26. Nice video. Grew up cruising from holyhead …..I remember some of those north easterly. Now up in Scotland and planning to get into cruising again in few years 🙂

27. That looked squeaky bum time.. rather you than me!

28. who is steering the sail boat? does it have like an auto pilot?

29. We were cringing watching this and remembering our own recent passage in similar conditions. It’s been a horrible autumn!

30. Mark: "I'm not a masochist"
    Also Mark immediately after he finishes Getting Over It for the second time: "Well, let's go again!!"

31. Crazy. Thanks for sharing!

32. Safety lesson number one is: in bad weather, head for sea. At sea there are no concrete pontoons attacking your ship. At sea there are no white cliffs and tidal races, giving you a heart attack. Stay far away from obvious problems. I really don't understand this video. You got a great ship, sail on and wait for better weather, if you want a hot shower in a nice port.

33. I would rather travel in my Ford Edge. On dry ground. Thanks. St. Paul Minnesota.

34. Sailed into my home port! Abergwaun! I was lifeboat crew there many years ago! Any port in a storm eh! It's a wicked bit of coast there! 🥴

35. It’s all a bit stressful.

36. Very happy your lovely,creaky boat survived. Best wishes from Devon 🙂👍🙏

37. Just found your channel, really enjoyed the episode I watched, Can I ask what tablet you use, I need to but one that can give a GPS fix when you are out of range of Wi-Fi etc. The one I have needs a Bad ELF connector to work. Thanks Simon.

38. It’s like choosing to live an uncomfortable life.

39. liquid soap will stop your shore lines creaking …..

40. Expecting to see life treatning high waves out in the Gail's of the open ocean, next clip docked at a marina bobbing a bit. wamp waaaymp

41. Nice, humble and nononsense.

42. The sea she's a mighty old beast 😂

43. Glad you made it Mark. An Oceanis is a nice boat but unfortunally not made for bad weather and heavy seas. And nice fireworks in the end.

44. Having lived in a van for several years before COVID I am eager to get back to a nomadic life and a boat is my choice, with plans to move in full time next year. Always nice to see the reality of sailing around the UK in videos like this. Thankfully you didn't have any pets on board as that adds another element of stress. I have subscribed. Take care and keep uploading! 🙂

45. After getting into sailing as a hobby though not a this level, I watched with interest.
    I do know the area around ramsey sound and skomer, its not to be taken lightly even on good days.
    Absolute respect for this video

46. P292 = HMS Charger 🙂. The Irish Sea isn't to be taken lightly, small though it is! Got to admit I would have told the Tanker to bugger off and gone outside of the bishop or hove too and let him go through first – the overfalls would have scared me they're not to be taken lightly! Loosing the instruments and broaching sounds horrendous.

47. Be no craic if the sun was always shining, lovely sailing
