split it is wrong , another seal to leak , NO NO NEAVER

12:20 your tops 100meters away and the bank looks a km a way..your zero zoom setting is really deep into negative zoom to start with .

11:18 that fish eye lenses is utterly ridiculous look how bad it distorts the bridge 😂. i was trying to use your footage to see if you can spot Reckits chimney from the Humber as ive seen it from 20 odd miles away + out a few miles on a crab boat off coast of With. dont use these lenses they heavily concave footage making your recording nothing like your visual perspective of the view . 👍🏻

You might need a different gypsy. It has to be matched _perfectly_ to the chain and the chain sizes can vary by a small amount. Visually the chain sizes look nearly identical.

Love it

Thanks for your very informative videos.

Do you see about 10 gallons an hour on your boat?

Hope that’s rated to work in a +90C constant environment.

Won’t that melt? They can get really hot! I think they do them for dryers for ducting, so maybe that would cope better with the temperature?

Thanks for the dual filter explanation- very useful. Can I ask if you have 2 separate return pipes from each filter and then “Y” connection onward to tank in a single pipe or do they stay separate to the tank?

Hy if you have two z drive DPE, the gear select adjustment, must be on the same sens ?right or left ?, thanks a lot for your answer

made it to the end.

Nice to see the dual filter arrangement. I vaguely recall asking if that would be the answer to the problem. I'd just like to thank you for being my crash test dummy for the day I get my boat 😁

Great vid matey.. Helped me loads.. Thankyou... : )

Why not lock the unit to the lift cradle and no more latch problem?

Good to see you home safe and well 😊👍

I have the same boat. It is interesting to see you use the wheel as well as the shifters. I use only the shifters for close in work, until I am out of the marina.

Guys well done am following your adventures most nights Am retired know and have recently purchased a merry fisher 645 at the moment am getting my experience around Largs Arran area . I find it difficult to find out its limitations would like to get over to the Mull area . Would you consider the Mull Kintyre route or the Crinan canal . Any one else reading please comment if you have advice

All good experience 😊

Looks wonderful.

Salen is pronounced “Sall-en”

Loch Sunart is pronounced “ Loch Soonart”

Loch Aline is pronounced “Loch Alan”

Don't let them Orcas get ya

Been a long time since we were in Oban, but there are plenty of anchorages about the place.

LOL

wow so helpful. Can you tell me what model number that cable is that for the gear shift?

Hi, I bought the Surfola sf 230 camera, but I don't know how to activate the microphone, can you help?

Hi, what's you travel plan? Circumnavigating UK?

Nice drone shots.

Do you have any tips or suggestions for replacing the springs for this mechanism? I’m having difficulty stretching them to get them on. Thanks!

I couldn’t tell where that large o-ring goes? Is it all the way up to the mating surface or is it on the next step down?

Good drills and well done - great training video 👍

Glad your safe ❤

looks like your having a great journey despite a bit of filter trouble ,do you intend staying on the west coast ?

The camera always dilutes the experience of rough sea. We know from experience that the RNLI like a "casualty vessel" to call as early as possible so it was a good call. That swivel on your anchor is a point of failure. The fork of the swivel can be prised open by the anchor shank. Use 3 or 4 links of chain one size up from your anchor chain and put it between the shank and the swivel to relieve side loads on the swivel fork.

change the fuel filters more often, then you get to know if you got crap in the tanks

Nice one... May a suggest that you guys always include the word sailing in your video titles..? It's one of the most used search words on TH-cam and should give you more views.. hopefully..🙂

Just curious as to why you didn't sail, you seemed to have enough wind?

Nicely done, and cheers to the RNLI!

Omg you’ve good bigger balls than me , ! Great video

Great video. Thankful that everyone is safe and OK.

do you dose your fuel with a biocide regularly ?

Just to explain why we couldn't sail out of the situation. Baru is not a yacht, she is a motor sailer, and is heavy 6.5 tonnes, while she does sail nicely when the wind is in the right direction. On this occasion the gusts were ok, but hitting only 10 degrees off our bow, so in the dead area for us, she will not sail so close hauled. We also had a 4kt current against the wind, so that was giving wind over tide, and pushing us into the sand bank. Baru also is shallow keeled, so does tend to be easily pushed, to over come this the engine is required. Now not knowing for sure what the bottom was like, I had a very good idea that it would soft sand or mud. we had just come out of 30 odd metres of depth rising rapidly to 5m with the sand bank 1 nm away. With a 4kt current I had 15mins only before we would have been on it. As to the wind following when we were under tow, yes it was, by then it was 2 hrs later, and the breeze, as it had died down by then, had shifted. The last thing we wanted to do was put the call out, but there was no alternative. A couple with a rib did try to help, the idea was to tow us into the lee of Fort George so I could change filters etc, but even with Thier 60hp outboard they could not pull us against the tidal flow so I could take the strain off the anchor chain, we tried to lift the anchor, but with the strain on the chain it caused it to jam on the stripper, breaking it.

Windy app will give you wave height. It is important to add water and biocide treatments to your fuel tanks so the filters don't get fouled.

Reminds me of running into clogged fuel lines somewhere between Norway and Scotland. Remember how uncomfortable it was to work on the filters in choppy seas. Felt a wee bit lost outside WiFi range. But got it going and made it to Fraserburgh where competent mechanics put on double Racor filters. The yards there are fantastic; they know their stuff, no hanky-panky.

What a welcoming sight to see the RNLI approaching from the distance. Imagine if they didn't exist:

Well done in your actions to drop the anchor to hod your position and then onto the radio for help. It just goes to show that it is usually the simple things that trip you up at just the wrong time wrong moment. As a biker and a sailor I started years ago to have a shammy sock made and I put it over any nozzle of any fuel delivery system I use. This catches both moisture and particles and saves allot of headaches further down the line. Well done and enjoy your sailing

Glad to see the lifeboat upon which my father’s in law, is one of the ten thousand names on it, was able to help you out. Thank you for posting the video nice to see him out on the water once again.
