We found out yesterday that they did apparently go to the hospital to see the kid, and he apparently escaped from a psychiatric hospital, which he's now been sent back to, which also means that the police can't charge him as he's not of sound mind. One of the boat owners here had been chasing the police up.
Glad you guy’s are ok. As a retired Police Officer I’m saddened that you feel the police did not take this seriously, we all have our off days but still no excuse. Love the channel, stay safe.
He showed evidence of a trail of destruction, spoke about blood being everywhere and identified the probable suspect, then he called the police and they declined to send anyone. I don't think he just felt that the police didn't take it seriously - it was patently obvious that they didn't care. What a useless bunch of 'good for nothings'.
I had a fella in Key West try and steal my dink - I caught him, seems he brought a filet knife to cut my painter but didn't know it was galvanized steel cable! And yeah he tried to swim away too... Since I was anchored about 200yrds from any shore, I was able to get in the dink, start the 9.9 merc on an 11ft Achillies and just keep him swimming for about 45 min until he tuckered out and asked for help. When he tossed the knife, I picked him up and had a nice ride into the Marine patrol office - they were looking for him.
Catching up with your journey. So glad you have decided to sail! It will be a great adventure, and I am sure you will come out of it better and more confident sailors!
Tracey, I think the greater point is that they're not poor people. Especially as viewed from those outside. They all own a lovely brilliant white vessel. Yes they may still be just managing (marina fees, maintenance and nautical prices see to that). But that damage looked deliberate to me. By someone very angry. You only need to look at today's divisive unrest that our mainstream media appears to be happily sowing for their political agenda and imagine the anger it can generate.
@@ratusbagus Mr Ratus, my comment of poor people, was in no way a statement of their financial status. Unlike you I do not judge. I would say poor you if your car got vandalised or your house burgled, I hope you would be just as understanding and invite the 'angry person' in to have a cup of tea.
So glad you guys are and no damage to Cadoha! Cannot wait to see your next adventure. Dom you deserve a trip to the pub for all your work! Take care! Be Safe! Cheers!!
@@CadohaAdventuresSome day we will be back at the pub having a pint and a G&T. My son works in a state that is open and I am driving 9 hrs to see him since I have not seen him since Christmas. I will be sitting in a pub on Saturday hopefully. Take care and be safe!
Nice one Dom. It is unfortunate that the Hampshire Police do not see marine crime as a priority. When we had a theft in Southsea Marina the response was "Why are you calling us, Your insured?" And that was 20 years ago.... Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
Sailing Cadoha yeah and funnily enough the police will turn up in force very promptly and nick you for that - at least three squad cars and a slack handful of obese officers.😂
Hey there, welcome aboard! Thanks, we tried to make what actually was quite a high stress moment a little more enjoyable to watch. There seems to be enough drama in the world and media to frighten everyone at the moment. 😌
Cheers, Mike. We're both fine and it was just a dumb kid who seemed a bit out of his mind. We could of encountered someone like that anywhere, in the park, in town, walking the dog etc, just one of those things. Could have been worse, but glad it wasn't 👌🏻🤞⛵️
@Nancy Pippo I think we agree more than we disagree, Nancy. The looting going on right now is just frightening and society seems to be falling apart at the seams 😔
Gotta love that the police pick and choose who they punish. Isn't that the job of the courts, not theirs? Good job! I'm a liveaboard and have security cameras.
Wow!!!! I just finished "binge-watching all of you guys' videos! Loved every one of them! Hank is an awesome looking dog and you guys are fantastic with your humor and DIY skills. Keep up the good work xxxx
Fingers crossed for no more drama, although that sounds optimistic if the rest of 2020 is anything to go by. 😁😂 Hope you're safe and well. over there 🤞🙏🏻
Once again a great story telling Dom! We lock our paddle boards with a thin steel cable with eye loops on, cheap from amazon and a waterproof padlock, it’s really small and doesn’t get in the way and just stops those opportunity thief’s. That’s disgusting what he did to people’s property and that’s very disappointing about the police. Glad your both ok! Look forward to the next one 🍺🍺🍺
That doesn't sound like a bad idea. You know it was only the day before that I was saying that we shouldn't just leave the paddle board sitting up on deck, then, the very next day, after not listening to my own advice, we nearly lose it 😳🤭
Sailing Cadoha yeah search safety cable lock on amazon, less than £15 for a 16 foot 2mm diameter stainless braided cable, I lock them to my roof rack with it! Bentley the dog is getting used to the paddle board now so we will have to paddle over when I am released from the yacht if your still in the UK! Stay safe ✌🏼
Well done guys! Really envy your calm nerve. You're probably right saying "at the end no one got hurt, nothing much happened" but on the other hand just from the video footage you've showed, this guy caused hundreds of £££ damage, that someone will have to pay. Would be fair at least "name and shame"... Well at least show face and shame (as we can't cane people publicly any more)... And btw the police force in this country really sucks!! Don't know what we pay the taxes for if they can't be asked to come investigate serious things like this... Good luck with sailing and your channel, I'll keep watching! ;) J
Hi team what an unbelievable thing to happen I live on the southwest coast of Scotland and had travelled down to that exact area were you are to collect an outboard engine, I stayed overnight in the car Park you were talking to the ambulance crew I had a conversation with a bunch of young guys having a smoke (spliff) about watching there riding on there scooters to stay safe ,also a guy and his family were struggling to trailer there boat on the slip what a suprise take care 👍
That seems to be about the crucks of it. Someone did turn. up a couple of days later, to 'collect' evidence, but it was all cleared up by then, so a pretty pointless trip.
@@jayfigg7981 Nothing new about this in the UK. In 1998 I called police because a group of teens were using spray cans as flame throwers, setting fire to fences and garage doors. As I came past they were attempting to flame a cigarette lighter to coincide with my arrival. The cops said they would send someone. This was still going on around 30 minutes later. I called them back and they said, they didn't have a car to send, but would send the first available. Next day I called them about what action had taken place. They said they had no resources to answer that call. The damage was around £12,000. No one died so all good.
the true importance of obtaining insurance! mostly we don't insure against our own actions, we insure the liability of others. if your short then this is a must
A lucky man could have been a lot worst. I woke at 3:30am in my apartment and it was hot humid and everything just sticks to you. When my eyes opened I was looking down my revolver sights at the dark form of a person halfway in my window, I didn't say anything for a split second, then the person froze, then I said you need to leave. Almost ripped my screen off my window, but never any more troubles.
Congratulations - You are a great story teller and produce cracking videos. The reconstruction was well done (and amusing). How did you do the ‘Freemanesque’ narration. Glad no one was hurt and you recovered the board. The police have not covered themselves in glory (which is emerging as a common theme). I thought the miscreant who jumped in the river finally realised he had no option but maintain a ‘social distance’ 😂
Hank was probably hiding when he heard the noise. Ha Ha! Glad you guys are OK. Disturbing to learn the police was not interested in pursuing the case further in the light of the damage done to the properties in the marina. Look forward to seeing more interactions with Hank in the video. Anyway stay safe guys. Cheers from NZ.
It would be totally frightening to be inside your boat at night asleep, and have someone smash a window. That was a very close call. The easy to see and take away paddle board could well have save you from real damage. That aside I now see a vulnerability in our boat with two forward facing large widows. I will have to find the materials to have aboard for an “in far away places” seaworthy patch.
It's a double edged sword I guess. It's romantic and wonderful in so many ways, but you're also that much more vulnerable too. But yes, 'm sure we would have both jumped out of our skin if a window was put through on the boat whilst we slept. 😳😔
It was amazing because we had our boat, a car and a van in the car park, and all were (luckily) untouched, yet several vehicles either side of us got trashed 😔
Thanks, glad you liked it and as for brave, truth be told I just don't think straight for the first hour of a day when I wake up, Perhaps if I thought about it clearly, chasing a crazy guy who's been violently destructive, unarmed myself when he had a set of Stillsons in his hands, maybe wasn't my smartest ever move 😂
Alright, who does the opening intro? Is it Mr.Freeman or a sound-alike? And as far as a traffic cone, I woke up one morning to find a frikin traffic light in my living room. Then it all came back to me.
Really, really sad to hear such a story of damage and mayhem. You guys did well to follow through as far as you could. Naughty Mr Plod though. Anyway well done on yet another positive step in the right direction and yes, you are on a fine blue water boat that would probably cry at the thought of being a canal boat! Good luck with the rigging, I’m about to tackle my own rigging issues....broken stay etc.
Good luck with your rigging work. This is. one job we're not going to attempt to DIY and we're in the capable have of a guy called Pav down in Itchen Marina, really cool guy who's helped us a ton 👌🏻😁
I think he just jumped over the fence from a building site which was adjacent to the marina. Yes, it was such a shame what he did to others boats, although before our time was done in Itchen, everyone had managed to get their boats and cars all put back together. 🙏🏻
Off topic. What do you think of your boat layout? Specifically the long galley and access passed the chef or just forward in general. Also the stern cabins arrangements. What is the insulation like? I like tridents but unsure of the aforementioned bits. Bill Wide decks great.
We really like the lay out, it's about the roomiest old 38ft boat we saw, although the cockpit is pretty small. As for the aft cabins, they are really small, but fine for a couple of friends coming to crash for a few days. We actually changed all the insulation in the starboard side cabin when we redecorated it, although now our plan is to turn that into a kind of utility room with a large freezer, washing machine, and a water maker 😁
Really sad the cops didn’t deal with it. That was a lot of damage. No consequences.... it will happen again. If cops don’t do there job call the station and ask to speak with a supervisor. Nothing worse than lazy cops.....
They have had a lot of calls from so many people in. the marina, including the owner of the marina. They sent someone to 'collect evidence' days later after it had all been cleaned up. I think they were just trying to appease the guys at that point.
Sailing Cadoha Yeah...that is really sad.....I was a cop for 30 years.....we would never have kissed this off. It leaves a bad taste in the citizens mouth giving them the right to say things like, “stupid cops what good are they”. I cared about the community I policed, and a especially since they already had a suspect identified it would have been a slam dunk case. There is one thing I can’t stand is lazy cops. My department would never have tolerated this lack of response and effort to do something from those cops. Please don’t think that all cops do police work this way. These cops should have been disciplined for not doing their jobs.....
@@backthebadge4009 I'm super pro police and realise how hard a job we ask people like you to do, and I hate seeing the vilification of the police right now due to a small amount of terrible cops, so I'm especially gutted that they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory on this occasion either. Several friends of mine from Jiu Jitsu are cops and they're really cool guys, I'm sure that's the case more often than it isn't. Regardless, thanks for your service.
What a terrible experience and what a terrible response given you had actually identified the guy. If it was only an attempted paddle board theft I could understand it, but wrecked cars and boats SURELY should evoke something more than; We’ll give you a call in a couple of days to take a statement. Hope you lodged a formal complaint?
Hey, Ricardo. I haven't rolled in years, ha ha. I got my BB though the Carlson Gracie academy under Wilson Jr, although I imagine I'd have my hands full with most blue belts these days, my body is so broken from training and competing 😂 Good luck on your sailing adventures! 👌🏻⛵️🤞
@@CadohaAdventures yeah I'm a bit smashed up too and I started late so it's not gonna get easier 🤣 but the sailing plans are coming together and we'll soon be out there like you guys...so, fair winds and following seas as they say (apparently, ha ha 😄)
OMG glad you guys are OK. If you do make it to the Mediterranean, especially Greece give us a shout. We eventually managed to fly back out to our boat....via Zurich and took us 3 days to get here bur feeling great to be back in Greece. Almost back to PAOMIA as now on a coach from Athens to Lefkada. Get down here is hot sunny and blue skies 💙
We will! So many people have said that we need to get down to Greece, also with the whole Brexit situation, if we end up only being allowed in the EU for 90 days at a time, Turkey is always not too far away I guess 😁
Cops called, their response: "Yea, 1000 of dollars of damage, not a big deal, we might get around to it". Cops see someone jaywalking, shoot to kill. Glad you guys came out unscathed, but is sucks for the other people who didn't.
It does indeed seem like a shame, I think burglary generally just isn't a crime that's pursued here unless it's fine art, huge amounts of money or high end jewels that are stolen. I'm totally guessing of course. We had an eye witness (me) who the police never asked to speak to, CCTV which they didn't ask for, DNA evidence that was never collected. I'm not a cop, but I imagine that would have all come in handy.
After all that devastating damage the police are doing nothing. Those victims must be so annoyed. Anyway, looking forward to your forth coming improvements.
Most of them took tit much better than I would have, but a couple of the old boys were still very depressed about what had happened. It was all so unnecessary 😔
I have watched a lot of sailing videos and you are the first ones to put a life vest on your pet dog. I am so glad to see that. Wish all the other channels would do the same. That’s why I Clicked on the subscribe button. Take care be safe have fun.
Thank you very much! Truth is that he can swim really well, but the life jacket makes it much easier to handle him if it gets a little bumpy, we can clip him to us, or in his padded room, so he can't walk around where hew likes when it's best for him not to. The handle on the back of it again is also super helpful in a lot of situations wouldn't be without it 👌🏻🙏🏻⛵️
Sailing Cadoha I don’t know to many dogs are good swimmers but in choppy seas it helps him keep above water should he accidentally get overboard till you can get back to rescue. People understand the risks but the puppy doesn’t so it’s up to the people to protect the precious cargo of their beloved pet. I’m just glad to see you do that.
I can only tell the stories of what happens I guess, the guy gave us something to talk about, although it wasn't worth it for the amount of damage the little toe rag caused to everyone else. 😔
Well done Dom you handled that well, gobsmacked by the police reaction with the amount of damage caused. Hopefully not long now until you are all set to go and get away from idiots like these. PS I would of loved to of seen Hank chasing him down the jetty :)
You and me both, hell I would have appreciated Hank even waking up and barking, ha ha, that was meant to be his job, I have two hearing aids for the love of god, how did I wake up first?! 😂
This doesn’t surprise me with the police. If insurance companies will pay out they don’t care. Exactly how many thousands of pounds worth of damage has to be done to get them off their backsides I’m yet to find out. Next time mention that you think he may have a firearm. That will bring them.
Sailing Cadoha . Absolutely. I’m damped sure it one of those boats or vehicles belonged to a senior police officer there’d be plenty of blue flashing lights in no time.
wow i cant believe the damage. Cone is one thing but thats just not right i do not feel sorry for him at all. Plus the time and money its going to take those owners to get everything back in shape. That Hallberg Rassy pilot house looks tottaly trashed so sad. Glad you guys are ok and nothing was damaged.
That is exactly the reason 12 years ago I decided to leave the UK. If you are the victim of a crime the police will do whatever they can to avoid pursuing the perpetrator. It is shameful. The tragedy is, that year on year it gets worse.
Happy you’re both safe guys although I thought you were the type of guy that would jump in after him in hot pursuit 😆👍 did hank not alert to the fact someone was outside?
A few years ago I would have been less forgiving, I guess I'm just getting mellow with age 😂😂 I also had a pretty serious cut on my shin and didn't fancy swimming in the dirty river with it 😳😁
what about all the vandalism? didn't the cops care about that? i'm sure the various owners would. go sailing around the S. coast of england until you can break free. p.s. i'm glad hank wasn't hurt :-))
I don't think Hank even got out of bed, ha ha, we're going to have words after this 😂 Although deep down I'd rather bear the brunt of an attacker than Carly or Hank getting hurt 👌🏻
The police are underfunded and have had numbers cut so they see it as low impact / insurance will deal with it and that guy is like that because it's a social issue & not down to them.
So glad i found your channel. love the enthusiasim you have and your videos. Can i ask why you keep saying spring tides when isnt it coming into your autumn? and first sail for 2020?
Ha ha, it came with the life jacket, although having thought about it more, as much fun as it is to watch him terrorise kids swimming in the water, it'll probably make more sense to get him a brighter, heavier duty life jacket 😁
Found your channel and am really enjoying the binge! I was a copper from 83 to 2000...cannot believe they could not be bothered with this, especially as the damage would have run into thousands, and the perp was basically being served up on a plate...we would have been all over it like a bad suit back in the day...not sayin ALL cops are useless and lazy these days, but.......
They were too busy arresting grannies, for sitting on park benches during convid, to care about real crime....in fact during convid they were the criminals the way their behaviour was to many of the public.
You had practically given Police their guy and they decided to let him go . Brave of you to chase him . I would have second thoughts about that . No one hurt luckily . Hopefully insurance may cover some of the damage . You are a natural storyteller . Which Marina are you in .Can you do a video on how to maintain safety for liveaboards please .
I could do, although I'm not sure I really know how to maintain safety for liveaboards just yet, we're very much in the early stages of the learning process ourselves 😬
We did, yes and eventually it turned out the man had escaped from a psychiatric hospital, so no charges were pressed when the police did eventually catch up with him.
hello i was one that said you should go though the bay instead of the canals adding to the story if you took a skipper as it is your first time on your boat going offshore nd i don't think it would cost a lot more than going through the canals (just an idea )
John, you're likely one of the many voices of reason that have made us think that the Biscay is the way forward. As such, we have a load of really cool ideals for getting the boat 'battle' ready 😁
One for Carly about single handed springing out.... No not the bow bridle one. So your bow is blowing off and you want to spring off so your stern is out ready to reverse away. But Hank is your best crewman. RAN does it here. All laid back and no lines involved. They don't even mention it.... Grrrr. Anyway it's in 2 tiny clips in the first 55 seconds. th-cam.com/video/LelIEk3yujQ/w-d-xo.html The they bow thrust into the pontoon! Well it was new to me anyway.
In the end the wind direction moved from the port side of the bow and instead blew directly onto the beam and so the wind just blew us off of the pontoon 😁
It's terrible to be burgled but what is even more distressing is the attitude of your police. That kid will do it again now that he knows he can get away with it. Disappointing really. Glad you're both ok and Hank (the guard dog lol)
Yeah I'm fairly gutted about it. I have five friends in the police, people I used to train with back in the day and they are all good guys, I'm not sure the new breed are cut from the same jib.
Quit the story. Glad you are ok. There must have been some sort of reaction from boat/car owners that had damage. Doesn't surprise me about the police, though.
The pink shod man did it. Where I live they cops would have sent everybody on shift after the guy, but then again these poor fellows don't usually have a lot to do other than giving out speeding tickets.
Sorry you were a victim of crime. Your a great couple and it angers me that you were subjected to the criminality of another. Can't explain why ther police responded why they did. Im sure there is a reason even if they didn't explain it to you. Pretty sure that whilst there will be some bad eggs in the police, i am also sure that most are dedicated to their communities and do the best they can with the tools they are given. Government budgets are not decided by local forces and difficult decisions need to be made about where limited resources are deployed. Not all are typical wankers. Unlike the people who make such sweeping comments.... Keep up the channel. We enjoy your updates...
I have five friends that are in the police and they are all good guys and more than willing to jump into a scrap if needs be. I have no idea why the local police didn't want to help out here though, it was a total open and shut case, and I'm the only eye witness, and they never even contacted me for a statement. Strange times.
As you say, we've all been drunk, and climbed up the odd lamppost onto a building roof, and had to be rescued by fire brigade, cos we suddenly sobered up once we saw how high up we were, but hey were just drunken stories to pass down to our kids, that was just pure anarchy, little scrote, hope he caught something nasty from the river water, top marks for chasing him down and passing it onto the police though, to be fair, I always considered a liveaboard a lot safer than a house ? Security wise, the boat rocks if anyone steps on it, and as you say, you just know when the sounds around you change a little, glad you got off lightly
I guess that's another way to look at it. Although I normally sleep through anything, especially as I take my hearing aids out when I go to bed. I was really hoping Hank would be all the burglar alarm that we'd need, I mean he barks more than any other dog I've ever known, part from when it really mattered 😂😂 It's crazy that I woke up before Hank or Carly 😳😳

Sadly my experiences with the police have been just as depressing, you hand them everything on a plate and they just shrug and go mneh of pfttt.
We found out yesterday that they did apparently go to the hospital to see the kid, and he apparently escaped from a psychiatric hospital, which he's now been sent back to, which also means that the police can't charge him as he's not of sound mind.

It's a shame for sure. I have five mates who are all in the police and they're all legends. Can't win em all.
He showed evidence of a trail of destruction, spoke about blood being everywhere and identified the probable suspect, then he called the police and they declined to send anyone. I don't think he just felt that the police didn't take it seriously - it was patently obvious that they didn't care. What a useless bunch of 'good for nothings'.

When he tossed the knife, I picked him up and had a nice ride into the Marine patrol office - they were looking for him.
Fair play, that's a solid way to deal with a thief. 🍻🍻
this is why I love to watch you two on YT. Never lose your sense of Humour and this is the way to go very happy through lIfe!!!

Fingers crossed, Aidan, it's certainly been eventful so far! 😬⛵️
Those poor people, the boats and cars that were wrecked. Glad you are both safe and well.
Yes it was a pretty rubbish morning for a load of the people in the yard 😔
Tracey, I think the greater point is that they're not poor people.
Especially as viewed from those outside. They all own a lovely brilliant white vessel. Yes they may still be just managing (marina fees, maintenance and nautical prices see to that). But that damage looked deliberate to me.

squad cars and a slack handful of obese officers.😂
I really enjoyed your reenactment of the events, creative way to tell the story with out all the footage. Liked and subscribed. Fair winds! ❤️⛵🐙

I loved that part with Carly
Yikes. So glad you are OK. Take care. Peter

I like the way that Y'all handled this. Very fair and decent. Good on You both, God bless.
It's hard to know what you'll do until you're faced with the situation. Truth be told if he hadn't of smashed the place up, I'd of just let him go.
Wow! How troubling. Damage was heartbreaking 💔 ....but so glad no one in the marina was hurt.
Hope no more drama occurs. Stay safe and well 😷✌️🇺🇸
Fingers crossed for no more drama, although that sounds optimistic if the rest of 2020 is anything to go by. 😁😂
Hope you're safe and well. over there 🤞🙏🏻
Once again a great story telling Dom! We lock our paddle boards with a thin steel cable with eye loops on, cheap from amazon and a waterproof padlock, it’s really small and doesn’t get in the way and just stops those opportunity thief’s. That’s disgusting what he did to people’s property and that’s very disappointing about the police. Glad your both ok! Look forward to the next one 🍺🍺🍺
That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
You know it was only the day before that I was saying that we shouldn't just leave the paddle board sitting up on deck, then, the very next day, after not listening to my own advice, we nearly lose it 😳🤭
Sailing Cadoha yeah search safety cable lock on amazon, less than £15 for a 16 foot 2mm diameter stainless braided cable, I lock them to my roof rack with it! Bentley the dog is getting used to the paddle board now so we will have to paddle over when I am released from the yacht if your still in the UK! Stay safe ✌🏼

Good luck with sailing and your channel, I'll keep watching! ;) J
Thanks, Jakub and yes I fully agree, once I saw the extent of what he had done, I wanted him to answer for it.
Hi team what an unbelievable thing to happen I live on the southwest coast of Scotland and had travelled down to that exact area were you are to collect an outboard engine, I stayed overnight in the car Park you were talking to the ambulance crew I had a conversation with a bunch of young guys having a smoke (spliff) about watching there riding on there scooters to stay safe ,also a guy and his family were struggling to trailer there boat on the slip what a suprise take care 👍
What a small world it is! Glad to hear you didn't have any negative drama while staying there though 👌🏻😁
great video but glad no one was hurt
Yeah me too, that's the main thing to take away from it 🙏🏻☺️
So glad you got away unscathed!
Cheers, Nick. I guess when all is said and done, that's really the main thing 🙏🏻☺️
I watched your latest video first then watched all the rest.... awesommmmmmmmmmmmmme!!!!
😁
So if you make a political incorrect tweet they'll send the army, but if you smash up an entire moorage they'll leave it be??
That seems to be about the crucks of it. Someone did turn. up a couple of days later, to 'collect' evidence, but it was all cleared up by then, so a pretty pointless trip.
Now you have perceived the "new normal"
@@jayfigg7981 Nothing new about this in the UK. In 1998 I called police because a group of teens were using spray cans as flame throwers, setting fire to fences and garage doors. As I came past they were attempting to flame a cigarette lighter to coincide with my arrival. The cops said they would send someone. This was still going on around 30 minutes later. I called them back and they said, they didn't have a car to send, but would send the first available. Next day I called them about what action had taken place. They said they had no resources to answer that call. The damage was around £12,000. No one died so all good.
@@philgray1023 From now on I am just gunna shoot um and say they backed into my gun 6 times. (Joke you friggin leftist cancel culture Phuckwads!)
Could it be because most boat owners are white? Perish the thought.
Super scary about the robbery 😫 Glad you guys are ok!! Loved the reenactment good job😂😂❣️
Yep, less than an ideal way to wake up in the morning, but I guess it could have been worse. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
the true importance of obtaining insurance! mostly we don't insure against our own actions, we insure the liability of others. if your short then this is a must
The lead intro was fantastic. Always look forward to the videos.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 😁
A lucky man could have been a lot worst.
I woke at 3:30am in my apartment and it was hot humid and everything just sticks to you. When my eyes opened I was looking down my revolver sights at the dark form of a person halfway in my window, I didn't say anything for a split second, then the person froze, then I said you need to leave. Almost ripped my screen off my window, but never any more troubles.
The most we're allowed is an air rifle and even then you'd likely get arrested for shooting it at someone, even if they were a burglar 😂
Congratulations - You are a great story teller and produce cracking videos. The reconstruction was well done (and amusing). How did you do the ‘Freemanesque’ narration. Glad no one was hurt and you recovered the board. The police have not covered themselves in glory (which is emerging as a common theme). I thought the miscreant who jumped in the river finally realised he had no option but maintain a ‘social distance’ 😂
I never thought about it like that, perhaps he just takes Covid-19. very seriously? 😂
Hank was probably hiding when he heard the noise. Ha Ha! Glad you guys are OK. Disturbing to learn the police was not interested in pursuing the case further in the light of the damage done to the properties in the marina. Look forward to seeing more interactions with Hank in the video. Anyway stay safe guys. Cheers from NZ.
Turns out that Hank isn't the best guard dog when he's tired 😂😳
It would be totally frightening to be inside your boat at night asleep, and have someone smash a window. That was a very close call. The easy to see and take away paddle board could well have save you from real damage. That aside I now see a vulnerability in our boat with two forward facing large widows. I will have to find the materials to have aboard for an “in far away places” seaworthy patch.
It's a double edged sword I guess. It's romantic and wonderful in so many ways, but you're also that much more vulnerable too. But yes, 'm sure we would have both jumped out of our skin if a window was put through on the boat whilst we slept. 😳😔
Can’t believe what happened amazed your boat or car was basically untouched
It was amazing because we had our boat, a car and a van in the car park, and all were (luckily) untouched, yet several vehicles either side of us got trashed 😔
Well hello, neighbour 😁
Had to rewind,thought she said wind in our bowels 😂
Nice new intro! Brave and stealthy man!
Thanks, glad you liked it and as for brave, truth be told I just don't think straight for the first hour of a day when I wake up, Perhaps if I thought about it clearly, chasing a crazy guy who's been violently destructive, unarmed myself when he had a set of Stillsons in his hands, maybe wasn't my smartest ever move 😂
Alright, who does the opening intro? Is it Mr.Freeman or a sound-alike? And as far as a traffic cone, I woke up one morning to find a frikin traffic light in my living room. Then it all came back to me.
Ha ha, it's a super talented guy called Charlie 😁
Really, really sad to hear such a story of damage and mayhem. You guys did well to follow through as far as you could. Naughty Mr Plod though. Anyway well done on yet another positive step in the right direction and yes, you are on a fine blue water boat that would probably cry at the thought of being a canal boat! Good luck with the rigging, I’m about to tackle my own rigging issues....broken stay etc.
Good luck with your rigging work. This is. one job we're not going to attempt to DIY and we're in the capable have of a guy called Pav down in Itchen Marina, really cool guy who's helped us a ton 👌🏻😁
That re-enactment was epic lol
Hi guys another great video - especially good to hear you are hoping to sail soon. Are you still hoping to make it down to the med this year? Rob
We can't wait to do some sailing! Starting to get cabin fever now 😂.
Hope you're safe and well wherever you are right now 🤞🙏🏻⛵️
Glad you three and the boat got off unscathed. I feel sorry for those who had their boats and cars damaged. How did he get onto the pontoons, anyway?
I think he just jumped over the fence from a building site which was adjacent to the marina. Yes, it was such a shame what he did to others boats, although before our time was done in Itchen, everyone had managed to get their boats and cars all put back together. 🙏🏻
Off topic.
What do you think of your boat layout?
Specifically the long galley and access passed the chef or just forward in general.
Also the stern cabins arrangements.
What is the insulation like?
I like tridents but unsure of the aforementioned bits.
Bill
Wide decks great.
We really like the lay out, it's about the roomiest old 38ft boat we saw, although the cockpit is pretty small. As for the aft cabins, they are really small, but fine for a couple of friends coming to crash for a few days. We actually changed all the insulation in the starboard side cabin when we redecorated it, although now our plan is to turn that into a kind of utility room with a large freezer, washing machine, and a water maker 😁
Really sad the cops didn’t deal with it. That was a lot of damage. No consequences.... it will happen again. If cops don’t do there job call the station and ask to speak with a supervisor. Nothing worse than lazy cops.....
They have had a lot of calls from so many people in. the marina, including the owner of the marina. They sent someone to 'collect evidence' days later after it had all been cleaned up. I think they were just trying to appease the guys at that point.
Sailing Cadoha Yeah...that is really sad.....I was a cop for 30 years.....we would never have kissed this off. It leaves a bad taste in the citizens mouth giving them the right to say things like, “stupid cops what good are they”. I cared about the community I policed, and a especially since they already had a suspect identified it would have been a slam dunk case. There is one thing I can’t stand is lazy cops. My department would never have tolerated this lack of response and effort to do something from those cops. Please don’t think that all cops do police work this way. These cops should have been disciplined for not doing their jobs.....
@@backthebadge4009 I'm super pro police and realise how hard a job we ask people like you to do, and I hate seeing the vilification of the police right now due to a small amount of terrible cops, so I'm especially gutted that they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory on this occasion either.
Several friends of mine from Jiu Jitsu are cops and they're really cool guys, I'm sure that's the case more often than it isn't.
Regardless, thanks for your service.
We will be waiting for the next video.
From your new fan's here in the Central Florida swamps🐊, stay safe.👍🐾.
Awesome! Thank you! I hear Florida is starting to open back up now? Hope you guys are safe and well in these crazy times over there especially. 🤞🙏🏻⛵️
And frugality was the word you were looking for Dom.
What a terrible experience and what a terrible response given you had actually identified the guy. If it was only an attempted paddle board theft I could understand it, but wrecked cars and boats SURELY should evoke something more than; We’ll give you a call in a couple of days to take a statement. Hope you lodged a formal complaint?
Where do you roll man? I'm an RG brown belt and I've just started sailing! So I'll be following your adventures! Oss 🤙
Hey, Ricardo. I haven't rolled in years, ha ha. I got my BB though the Carlson Gracie academy under Wilson Jr, although I imagine I'd have my hands full with most blue belts these days, my body is so broken from training and competing 😂
Good luck on your sailing adventures! 👌🏻⛵️🤞
@@CadohaAdventures yeah I'm a bit smashed up too and I started late so it's not gonna get easier 🤣 but the sailing plans are coming together and we'll soon be out there like you guys...so, fair winds and following seas as they say (apparently, ha ha 😄)
OMG glad you guys are OK.
If you do make it to the Mediterranean, especially Greece give us a shout.
We eventually managed to fly back out to our boat....via Zurich and took us 3 days to get here bur feeling great to be back in Greece. Almost back to PAOMIA as now on a coach from Athens to Lefkada.
Get down here is hot sunny and blue skies 💙
We will! So many people have said that we need to get down to Greece, also with the whole Brexit situation, if we end up only being allowed in the EU for 90 days at a time, Turkey is always not too far away I guess 😁
Cops called, their response: "Yea, 1000 of dollars of damage, not a big deal, we might get around to it". Cops see someone jaywalking, shoot to kill. Glad you guys came out unscathed, but is sucks for the other people who didn't.
It does indeed seem like a shame, I think burglary generally just isn't a crime that's pursued here unless it's fine art, huge amounts of money or high end jewels that are stolen.
I'm totally guessing of course.
We had an eye witness (me) who the police never asked to speak to, CCTV which they didn't ask for, DNA evidence that was never collected. I'm not a cop, but I imagine that would have all come in handy.
I used to live in Hamble, now live in Florida. I miss the pubs !!!!
They're all closed still, we miss them too 😔
After all that devastating damage the police are doing nothing. Those victims must be so annoyed. Anyway, looking forward to your forth coming improvements.
Most of them took tit much better than I would have, but a couple of the old boys were still very depressed about what had happened. It was all so unnecessary 😔
I have watched a lot of sailing videos and you are the first ones to put a life vest on your pet dog. I am so glad to see that. Wish all the other channels would do the same. That’s why I Clicked on the subscribe button. Take care be safe have fun.
Thank you very much!
Truth is that he can swim really well, but the life jacket makes it much easier to handle him if it gets a little bumpy, we can clip him to us, or in his padded room, so he can't walk around where hew likes when it's best for him not to. The handle on the back of it again is also super helpful in a lot of situations wouldn't be without it 👌🏻🙏🏻⛵️
Sailing Cadoha I don’t know to many dogs are good swimmers but in choppy seas it helps him keep above water should he accidentally get overboard till you can get back to rescue. People understand the risks but the puppy doesn’t so it’s up to the people to protect the precious cargo of their beloved pet. I’m just glad to see you do that.
You are a good story teller..in today’s environment everything can happen..
I can only tell the stories of what happens I guess, the guy gave us something to talk about, although it wasn't worth it for the amount of damage the little toe rag caused to everyone else. 😔
that intro !! and what a crazy story
It was a bonkers way to start the day 😳😬
Well done Dom you handled that well, gobsmacked by the police reaction with the amount of damage caused. Hopefully not long now until you are all set to go and get away from idiots like these.
PS I would of loved to of seen Hank chasing him down the jetty :)
You and me both, hell I would have appreciated Hank even waking up and barking, ha ha, that was meant to be his job, I have two hearing aids for the love of god, how did I wake up first?! 😂
Sadly, there's nowhere to hide from these sh*ts.... they're everywhere!! The police are not for the people by the way ... OK??
Full support for good content
Hey thanks for that 🙏🏻⛵️
Hampshire Constabulary performing at their best. Standard!
Love the new opening!!
We do too, it really captures how this all happened for us, plus, Morgan makes anything sound cool 😂😂
This doesn’t surprise me with the police. If insurance companies will pay out they don’t care. Exactly how many thousands of pounds worth of damage has to be done to get them off their backsides I’m yet to find out. Next time mention that you think he may have a firearm. That will bring them.
He was a guy who showed the propensity for violet acts and that alone should be reason to want to find him 😔
Sailing Cadoha . Absolutely. I’m damped sure it one of those boats or vehicles belonged to a senior police officer there’d be plenty of blue flashing lights in no time.
wow i cant believe the damage. Cone is one thing but thats just not right i do not feel sorry for him at all. Plus the time and money its going to take those owners to get everything back in shape. That Hallberg Rassy pilot house looks tottaly trashed so sad. Glad you guys are ok and nothing was damaged.
Yeah it was a real shame and so unnecessary 😔
That is exactly the reason 12 years ago I decided to leave the UK. If you are the victim of a crime the police will do whatever they can to avoid pursuing the perpetrator. It is shameful. The tragedy is, that year on year it gets worse.
Aye m8’s, At least the comment section got very vivid but you got an unpleasant awakening. Hope your re-rigging is gong your way.
After we got over the initial shock of just how much everything going to cost, we're now really excited about all the new kit going on the boat 😁
Recreation and story telling = subscribed !
Happy you’re both safe guys although I thought you were the type of guy that would jump in after him in hot pursuit 😆👍 did hank not alert to the fact someone was outside?
A few years ago I would have been less forgiving, I guess I'm just getting mellow with age 😂😂
I also had a pretty serious cut on my shin and didn't fancy swimming in the dirty river with it 😳😁
what about all the vandalism? didn't the cops care about that? i'm sure the various owners would. go sailing around the S. coast of england until you can break free.
p.s. i'm glad hank wasn't hurt :-))
I don't think Hank even got out of bed, ha ha, we're going to have words after this 😂
Although deep down I'd rather bear the brunt of an attacker than Carly or Hank getting hurt 👌🏻
The police are underfunded and have had numbers cut so they see it as low impact / insurance will deal with it and that guy is like that because it's a social issue & not down to them.
So glad i found your channel. love the enthusiasim you have and your videos. Can i ask why you keep saying spring tides when isnt it coming into your autumn? and first sail for 2020?
May I ask about the shark fin, was it included from purchase or did you ad it? Looking forward for a shot with Hank swimming in that suit. 🦈
Ha ha, it came with the life jacket, although having thought about it more, as much fun as it is to watch him terrorise kids swimming in the water, it'll probably make more sense to get him a brighter, heavier duty life jacket 😁
Found your channel and am really enjoying the binge! I was a copper from 83 to 2000...cannot believe they could not be bothered with this, especially as the damage would have run into thousands, and the perp was basically being served up on a plate...we would have been all over it like a bad suit back in the day...not sayin ALL cops are useless and lazy these days, but.......
I have lots of friends who are cops (used to train with most of them) and in very pro police. Hopefully this was just a blip on the old radar?! 🤞🏼
The police didnt want to know, well theres a surprise.
Pretty upset with them to be honest, especially if they have the man power to arrest people over mean Tweets 😳
Sailing Cadoha Hurty feelings are a softer target.
That beautiful wooden boat you pulled alongside, was that the BelleAventure? I worked on her back in 1989
so no calling for the Police upon looking at the first boat that got smashed up?
Did you watch the entire video?
Hello new to the channel. looking forward to being on your journey with you!
Welcome aboard, nice to have you coming with us 😁⛵️⛵️
insurance isn't really covered by most utubers. might be a good idea to cover the reasons supporting this!
I think you're right you know, and a conversation about insurance may be a pretty good one to have 🤞
Dude wanted to get across the river. Dude sees a paddleboard. "Awesome!". Dude reverts to plan B after failed attempt. Yes, we've all been there.
I don't know why I didn't expect him to actually dive in the river, I was still half asleep at 5:30am I guess. Crazy kid 😳
Why the F do we pay for the absolute pile of crap that is our “police Service “
They were too busy arresting grannies, for sitting on park benches during convid, to care about real crime....in fact during convid they were the criminals the way their behaviour was to many of the public.
Yet another example of the cops not doing their job and letting criminals off Scott free, what a bloody disgrace!!!
It's a shame, especially as it would have been the worlds easiest conviction if they had come down.
Sailing Cadoha yes very sad and just more proof that the UK police force are a bloody disgrace and corrupt to the core.
You had practically given Police their guy and they decided to let him go . Brave of you to chase him . I would have second thoughts about that . No one hurt luckily . Hopefully insurance may cover some of the damage . You are a natural storyteller . Which Marina are you in .Can you do a video on how to maintain safety for liveaboards please .
I could do, although I'm not sure I really know how to maintain safety for liveaboards just yet, we're very much in the early stages of the learning process ourselves 😬
Wooowww what an amazing voice. Awesome narration...1000 likes from me...🤘
Charlie is super talented, glad you liked it 😁
Shame about the damage. Did you get it all fixed and cleaned up!?
We did, yes and eventually it turned out the man had escaped from a psychiatric hospital, so no charges were pressed when the police did eventually catch up with him.
Imagine taking this guy under your wings for a tripp.
It’d be a nightmare
hello i was one that said you should go though the bay instead of the canals adding to the story if you took a skipper as it is your first time on your boat going offshore nd i don't think it would cost a lot more than going through the canals (just an idea )
John, you're likely one of the many voices of reason that have made us think that the Biscay is the way forward. As such, we have a load of really cool ideals for getting the boat 'battle' ready 😁
One for Carly about single handed springing out.... No not the bow bridle one.
So your bow is blowing off and you want to spring off so your stern is out ready to reverse away. But Hank is your best crewman.
RAN does it here. All laid back and no lines involved. They don't even mention it.... Grrrr.
Anyway it's in 2 tiny clips in the first 55 seconds.
th-cam.com/video/LelIEk3yujQ/w-d-xo.html
The they bow thrust into the pontoon! Well it was new to me anyway.
In the end the wind direction moved from the port side of the bow and instead blew directly onto the beam and so the wind just blew us off of the pontoon 😁
It's terrible to be burgled but what is even more distressing is the attitude of your police. That kid will do it again now that he knows he can get away with it. Disappointing really. Glad you're both ok and Hank (the guard dog lol)
Yeah I'm fairly gutted about it. I have five friends in the police, people I used to train with back in the day and they are all good guys, I'm not sure the new breed are cut from the same jib.
Quit the story. Glad you are ok. There must have been some sort of reaction from boat/car owners that had damage. Doesn't surprise me about the police, though.
I think they all called the police and kicked off about how little they did. Other than that I guess it's just insurance.
Had he done it now, the police would've been all over him - for breaking lockdown rules, that is.
where was Hank? I used to use my Vizslas as body guards. They are so nice but they are big.
Without the traffic cone.
Errr, yeah, me too 😬😬
Great video, love the intro.
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁⛵️
It begs the question, where was Hank in all this, tucked up with Cali I suppose?...
It really does beg that exact question! I'm still scratching my head, he had one job to do! 😂😂
Loved the intro..
It's something a little different and captures how we see the adventure, although it'd be good to actually go somewhere now 😂⛵️
Sailing Cadoha hang in there, within reaching distance now. Always the journey......
So disappointed with the police’s response
Yeah, we all were too. Just seems such a shame.
Oh dear Hank, you really let the side down this time. Some guard dog you are if you don't even bark 🐩
Ha ha, you. hit the nail on the head. He had one job to do 😂
so impressed with Carly's voice over in the style of Mr Freemen. Forgive me for suggesting a career in narrating audio books
She had to smoke several cigars in preparation for that narration 😜
@@CadohaAdventures that is a selfless act to create artistic excellence. Bravo...
Did I see Hank sporting a shark fin :-)
Yes it's his life jacket, we set him in the water with it to scare kids paddling in the sea 😁😳
When did this happen I am just down the river at Ocean Marina
A bit worrying 😳
It happened about a week ago, the day after we arrived here 😔
That was a cool story. I suspect Hank may be involved.
Not going to lie, I expected more from Hank 😂😂
@@CadohaAdventures Well..he's a dog, so, excellence will take time. Be afraid..🐶
The pink shod man did it.
Where I live they cops would have sent everybody on shift after the guy, but then again these poor fellows don't usually have a lot to do other than giving out speeding tickets.
Arh'll be Bach. .! Maniacal laughter.....
Fingers crossed hopefully not 😂🤞
Sorry you were a victim of crime. Your a great couple and it angers me that you were subjected to the criminality of another.
Can't explain why ther police responded why they did. Im sure there is a reason even if they didn't explain it to you.
Pretty sure that whilst there will be some bad eggs in the police, i am also sure that most are dedicated to their communities and do the best they can with the tools they are given. Government budgets are not decided by local forces and difficult decisions need to be made about where limited resources are deployed.
Not all are typical wankers. Unlike the people who make such sweeping comments....
Keep up the channel. We enjoy your updates...
I have five friends that are in the police and they are all good guys and more than willing to jump into a scrap if needs be. I have no idea why the local police didn't want to help out here though, it was a total open and shut case, and I'm the only eye witness, and they never even contacted me for a statement. Strange times.
As you say, we've all been drunk, and climbed up the odd lamppost onto a building roof, and had to be rescued by fire brigade, cos we suddenly sobered up once we saw how high up we were, but hey were just drunken stories to pass down to our kids, that was just pure anarchy, little scrote, hope he caught something nasty from the river water, top marks for chasing him down and passing it onto the police though, to be fair, I always considered a liveaboard a lot safer than a house ? Security wise, the boat rocks if anyone steps on it, and as you say, you just know when the sounds around you change a little, glad you got off lightly
I guess that's another way to look at it. Although I normally sleep through anything, especially as I take my hearing aids out when I go to bed.
I was really hoping Hank would be all the burglar alarm that we'd need, I mean he barks more than any other dog I've ever known, part from when it really mattered 😂😂
It's crazy that I woke up before Hank or Carly 😳😳
