EP 176 DICKINSONS HEATER - Service and review after 20 years in use
Yep! Looks good 👍
Thanks 👍
fantastic Job once again
Thank you
Stainless Steel staples or do you use the normal ones that go rusty and corrode away?
Always stainless
I have yet to find SS ones on sale.
Any chance of a knitting demo in the next video?
Woolley pants for old folk ?
Kayospruce is just around the corner from me.😝
It was when I came over to see you
@@SVBlownAway I thought so.
Great job!
Thank you Chris
That a nice job there, I could't do it. Or at least I never tried it.
@@dutchglobetrotter4513 I bought the machine ages ago and self taught. I enjoy it some days
We have a Singer industrial mc. Its a real earner when we are seen sewing... Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Yeh. Def don’t need a posh machine for good results
Which hull what that # name?
The day after i watched this i went away in my camper, I fired up the coffee machine and milk frother and had the same problem with the same trip switch. i was drawing about 1000w with a new 2000w Renogy inverter with 50mm battery cables, nowhere near the 250A that the fuse is rated to.
@@michaelhall4937 has to be cheap components sadly.
Great job, Ian!
Thanks!
Nice job, mate. Helping out as usual. 👍
It’s a curse
Great job on fixing the fridge . And great job for stopping the leak and getting there gen set working mate
Thanks Tim
Ooooh cheap diesel? Well done mate.
All happily taken away by the taxi boat owner … hmmm
What can I say other than another fantastic Video as always. Glad you where able to lend a hand and prevent an environmental disaster. Go you Sir.
Thank you
Well done Ian. :)
Thank you
Good job on stopping a mayor environment pollution.
Cheers shipmate
Cheers mate.. 😊
You are welcome t
Why did you not cover your batteries up from that Salt water
Hi Joey. The batteries are just plastic casings and I wash them off when I’m done
So what is your criteria for selecting crew Ian? 🤔
@@sailingyachtrocknroll8402 hi Ian - I don’t really have any criteria for joining the boat for a week or two , as long as people aren’t camera shy ☺️
Thanks mate.. 😊
No problem 👍
0:56 welcome aboard Dea! 😊
She’s only on board for a week Trev , holiday season 😁
Technically it's African dust (clay) not sand. Sand is too heavy to be carried that high and far.
Thanks nickos - I think Sahara sand sounds lighter than Sahara clay 😃
Fabulous sailing episode. Hope you're getting mire crew enquiries. Dea looked like she enjoyed it 🥰⛵️
You would hope so , but nope not many
I didn’t spot the motoring cone😂
It must have slipped down 😄
@@SVBlownAway Ah, that must have been it🤣
Are you wintering in Trizonia (you seem to have been there a long time). The jetty there used to be a real pension trap with lots of manhole covers missing - any better now?
Hi Norman , circumstances will become apparent in the upcoming videos but it wasn’t my intentions to stay here. Ping me an email and I’ll explain. Ian
Another great video, welcome Dea.
Thank you
Hello from Romania, how is marina there? Very nice bogat btw!
It’s very good
Love the Southern Ionian
They are some of the best places
Thanks guys, good bye for now Clare.. 😊
I suspect they were just left to rust after they got to old to work
7:33 kinda look they were intentionally sunk there? 🤔
14:44 15:51 A wonderful and hot body makes me melt🔥🔥😋😋😋
Any chance we can get a 1080p version, all these gorgeous scenes around the Greek island in soft blurry 720p.Was good in the 90's but now it just looks cheap.I see with a few vloggers from the U.K, might be a British thing...
I’ll take a look at the settings because I watch it on small screen the images are crisp , the cameras are recording in 4 k so no reason for it to be uploaded at 720.
Hiya. If you check out the latest video i have l increased the upload quality , it’s the default settings in Final Cut Pro reducing the video sizes. Thanks for your feedback back.
@@SVBlownAway I have noticed and thank you, Greek waters in all their glory..
@@Mixos_place I love the Greek Islands
Nice editing and music mate🥳
Thank you ship mate
another fantastic video
Thank you
Back to floor repairs next time then? 😉 Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Nope. Windows. Haha. Three left to do and now a leaky hatch as well. Need to be ready for winter
At about 15:55 you put a title up saying Frikes but the video segment following is Kioni.😉👍⛵️
@@normanboyes4983 my bad Sorry
@@SVBlownAway The person who did not make a mistake - never made anything.
Very true my friend. Very true
Vathy, the stress is on the Y. It means 'deep'. Very common placename in Greece, most often referring to a deep (in the horizontal rather than the vertical direction) bay or cove.
Praying Mantis = Holy Mother's Pony (Alogaki tis Panagias) in Greek for some reason... lol Scary stuff lol. The larger female ones devour the males ones after sex.. Lovely
Love it , she’s hot !
I see you have turned into a tit and ass channel. Sad, I like this channel. Good luck.
Interesting that you “like the channel” but have never commented before. If a bikini is in a video it offends you somehow ? It’s 40 degrees
4:36 20:09 This woman's body, the beauty of her face and her fire are killing me 😋😋😋😋😋🔥🔥
14:10 7:18 This woman's body, the beauty of her face and her fire are killing me 😋😋😋😋😋🔥🔥
Great video Ian, hopefully Claire will return 🥰⛵️
I hope so too!
which supermarket did you use?
Hiya Clive. If I have a car I’ll get to lidl but walking it’s market inn at Nidri. Leave the dinghy at IBA dock
