    Thanks for the rainy days videos. Found this on Wikipedia "Xylocarpus granatum, commonly known as the cannonball mangrove, cedar mangrove,[2] or puzzlenut tree,[3] is a species of mangrove in the mahogany family (Meliaceae)."

      Hi Mark. Thanks for the information. It's very interesting. The 'fruits' were spectacular! W.

    You might try putting the drain plug in the inside. No risk of losing it and much easier to drain the boat while underway.

    I visited Australia many times when I was at sea and spent a couple of months going around the coast. I wanted to "jump ship" sometimes, especially when I met a beautiful young American Indian girl in Melbourne. It was touch and go but a mate talked me out of it, the b*****d! Instead I left the sea life and didn't miss it, thankfully. Enjoy the vids and have done since the narrow boat days.

    What a beautiful part of the world no matter what the weather is like. Wendy - what an amazing Loaf of Bread. Enjoy :-)

      Hi Crickshaw. The bread was delicious. Quite surprising really given my ridiculous track record with baking bread. When I first met Magnus his dog, a German Shepherd, refused my 'rock' bread and chewed on a brick instead! Seriously. W.

    At 13:20.... “that looks better... it’s a bit dryer!” LOL still soaking wet through!
    I have to say that was a lot of rain but I would rather be out in that, than stuck at home inside😁
    Really nice to see you guys and Nutshell out on the ocean again!
    All the best Richard

    Definitely call it something different down Under but the plug for the boat there is one you can get that as a one-way valve to drain the water I believe you can order it on Amazon I would highly suggest to get one of those

    Nice looking bread there. We turned into Hunt Channel just as a hump back was heading out. We gave way to the bigger force than us.

    Ahhh Queensland, not always sunshine and sea breezes, at least you didn't run out of fresh water.

      Hi Gary. There definitely wasn't a shortage of fresh water! Thanks for watching. W.

    • @LifeinaNutshell
      @LifeinaNutshell  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Tammy. It tasted amazing. We've just bought the Lekue and it's been great for baking bread. The general idea is that it reduces water usage because you can mix in it and bake in it too, which is an important feature when you are living on a boat with limited water. We weren't sure if it would work well, but so far its been fabulous! W.

    Nice. Well that's more rain than I've seen here in a while LOL. But we get a crap ton of rain so I'm used to that kind of weather. Ah your narrow boat party made it to Amazon Video FYI saw you guys on someone elses videos on Amazon last week.

      Theres the link for you guys. You should consider putting in a sump pump into your run about for rainy days like that.

      Hi David and Tammy. Thanks for your lovely comment. It felt amazing to be out on the water and even though we had rainy day after rainy day, it didn't really matter as we were able to be out there. I'm so glad that we can share our trips with everyone. Thanks. W.

    There's a typo there. it should be the Whetsundays. A formal introduction to your sailing companion is needed I think? Bread looked fab.
