1. Fantastic, what a beautiful little paradise! Thank you for sharing.

2. Dom, thanks again for a very nice episode of your journey.

3. Hi Dom, great video as always. I've been into Polperro a few times in my 22 footer, and you certainly do need a dedicated 'long' mooring rope especially for the outer mooring buoys. I see they have actually moved the East moorings more to the West since I was last there. there was, of course, a likttle more room, but less depth of water. Ollie, the Harbourmaster, is a very helpful person. £15 is the same as about 3 years ago.

4. Taland bay has a more recent smuggling past!( free trade)😊

5. Well done Carly and Dom 🙂. An approach I’ve sometimes used is for one person to knot the bow and stern lines together, with a fender in the middle for flotation and marking. While the helm keeps the boat just clear of the moorings, the crew takes the lines in the dinghy and ties them to the mooring buoys. It is the easy to come alongside the lines and pick up the fender and hence fore and aft lines.

6. Great cinematography, you really show and tell a sailor/adventurer great story- keep up the hard work 👍

7. Hi guys, what type of diving equipment do you use?

8. I was on a trot mooring for years and it does get easier over time. Saying that, I had a line between the two buoys which made it easier. With no lines in place I would probably attach the stern mooring line first and then continue going forward until I could attach to the forward buoy from the cockpit too. Then you can pull the stern line tighter to centralise yourself. You would need pretty long mooring lines to do that. With the space you had, as long as you get the first line attached you can relax and take time to plan how to get the second line attached. I think you did well for a first attempt.

9. Trot mooring is often governed more by the tide and wind so different methods can be used. if the tide and wind suit then grab the up wind/tide mooring midships with a long line then just see which way you drift. if straight down the line then easy peasy let the stern drop onto it if not you can go astern gently with a little tension on th bow line to keep you fairly straight or stern first then forward throttle. if all fails then dinghy is also good just a bit more faffing about. I did notice a local fishing boat go past as you were mooring and you didn't attract his attention so obviously weren't doing it too bad or he would have sniggered a bit whilst gently shaking his head. once one line is attached you have as much time as you want to work the bet method for the day. Nice work guys.

10. What a beautiful spot!

11. Hi thank you for another nice video , you three have certainly made the most of a rather not so good summer .👍👍 🐶👍

12. Hi & thanks for your vids 👍
    I am intrigued with the 'scuba' set-up you used for cleaning your hull! I assume you have some kind of compressor/pump on the deck?
    If you had a minute in a future vid, I would really like to see/learn more about your setup – or. if that's been shown previously, could some kind soul tell me which episode as I haven't found it yet. Thanks 🙂🙃😊

13. Just watching you with the sweet and sour blackberries, I had one of that mixture this morning on purpose. We have put up several dozen bags in the freezer for later in the year. Thank you for a wonderful video and as always a beautiful dog and lovely wife. You make good videos thank you

14. I have question for you. Why do we insist calling modern anti fouling paints anti fouling paints?

15. We have been there in our 40 foot Starlight, pick up the stern buoy first and motor towards the forward buoy, you have less chance if swinging into rocks. I have not yet had the courage to take my new boat there which is 55 feet…It is on the bucket list.

16. We visited Belle Ile on the coast off Brittany and there you more fore and aft off the harbour wall using extremely long ropes if you are around 40 feet long because the rear buoy is positioned to account for 50 foot plus boats. What makes it really fun is that you are packed into a little harbour like sardines.

17. I was on a trot mooring in the Dart for 9 years, easier with a lazy line between the mooring lines, but any method of mooring to the buoys without the benefit of the lazy line is fine just so long as it works for you. I also scrubbed off our dive boat in the Exe last week. Been on a mooring for about 4 months without being anti fouled. The whole hull was carpeted in small mussels which covered the barnacles underneath. I use a plastic ice scraper for car windscreens, and it was very satisfying having long sheets of mussels with barnacles attached on the under side come off, leaving the hull completely clean. 27’ boat including prop and rudder cleaned off in an hour without scuba gear, just a mask and gloves.
    Love your videos, I’ve anchored in most of the same spots over the years.

18. Beautiful Polpero !!!

19. You need to be sponsored by the English Tourist Board. The fabulous amount of publicity you bring to the south coast must be worth millions in tourism.

20. The conventional way of picking up fore and aft moorings is to pick up one buoy or pile and attach to stern on a long line, then motor up to the other buoy and attach to bow. Centre the boat and put the kettle on, as Tom cunliffe would say. Lots of books describe the technique under "pile mooring", which used to be the norm. Those plastic line threaders are genius.

21. What a stunning harbour. Love it.

22. Try the stern line first then motor forward and pick up the bow bouyadjusting your position from onboard

23. You 3 are terrific 😃! ! I love Talland bay and Polperro, have been many times…

24. That was chaotic? You should come and learn real chaos with some of the shenanigans we get up to.

25. We were lucky enough to visit Polperro and overnight in our 45' sailing boat earlier this year. Truly a magical place – and your mooring technique was exactly the same as ours. Sent my son out in the dinghy! You need very long lines to double up though. In settled weather one of the best places in Cornwall. The pub you were in isn't too bad either…. 🙂
