    Well done with your copper bottom! Actually looked like the sanded bit worked really well! Must have been hard work sanding all that bottom whilst snorkelling!

    great update. A TIP, to avoid a dirty anchor chain, a few days before you leave, just let out some more scope, and the section of the chain that is in the water column, will be on the ground, and the abrasion with the ground will clean it for you. Usually it is just the section of chain that is between the waterline and the ground is what gets dirty, so just letting out more scope, equal to the water depth solves the problem! Hope it helps!

    Here's a tip I recently learned myself. When removing a motor from the water, you should not let the power head get below the lower unit because water can roll downhill, and it's possible for that water to pool inside the engine causing corrosion.

      Me too... Most sailing of any of the channels we watch. But having an electric motor makes it less attractive to motor and having a monohull you can get closer to the wind right?

    Riley from LaVagabond got little tiny crabs in his ears for not wearing ear plugs while scraping the bottom.
    I don't know if that's relevant everywhere but keep a watch out for that.

      @robshookphoto 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's commented on because they're doing something abnormal, not something unsafe. People attack anything that's abnormal.
      You'd be hard pressed to find lifelines that actually earn their namesake - every stanchion I've put my hand on could be substantially damaged by that hand.
      They're absurd devices.
      Centerline jacklines are the closest to "safe" you get offshore.

    @chrisfoote9413 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video as usual guys :-)I've got the " expensive " version of Coppercoat on my boat and for me it works but does need regular cleaning. The epoxy resin they supply to mix the copper with is water soluble until cured and I'm guessing probably slightly soluble after cure - so exposes fresh copper over time. Your idea to slightly abrade yours to expose the copper should work, maybe with a 3Ms scourer or similar.

    • @SailingUma
      @SailingUma  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Chris Foote Yes, it's definitely an experiment. But one we're happy to make. Perhaps next time, we'll go with coppercoat so we have something to compare it to.

    @scs130773 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awwww great seeing you guys again, and on the move no less! Very excited for you guys. Pity about the copper bottom, I was also very interested to see how it would hold up. Like the bay in Miami, the bay I have my boat is like that and in the summer time I have to give her a good scrape every 2 weeks. Warmer waters certainly don't help either. It's amazing how much those little buggers will slow you down. You can also hear the water makes a different sound against the hull, which gets to me like a leaky faucet does. Being a tiller steered boat, I can feel the current of the water off the keel. If that's dirty with barnacles I can feel it against the rudder when sailing. Look forward to your next videos!!!

    • @SailingUma
      @SailingUma  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, we could "feel" the growth as soon as we left the bay and started really sailing. It's been over an month now since we scraped her last, and no barnacle growth yet. Just a little slimy stuff. O well, while we're in the Caribbean, we really don't mind cleaning her every once in a while.

    • @scs130773
      @scs130773 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh I hear you there. It's almost therapeutic, cleaning the hull in warm water, aside from the fact that you need to breath once in awhile. It's the winter months which I dread.....

  • @daverjax
    @daverjax 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Vid M8s! I've suggested it to many Cruisers, that is (weather and water permitting) doing weekly or bimonthly careening by diving the keel and wiping the hull. Hopefully you would not give the critters a chance to establish themselves and become a problem. For the fishing, I just had a brainpoot about putting the fish waste into a mesh bag and hanging it over the side like a chum bag. Well in either case, Fair Winds and Following Seas M8s.

    • @SailingUma
      @SailingUma  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No problem. Yes traditional "life lines" on production boats are totally useless!!! Good for tying crap onto, but thats about it. A full SS rail on the other hand might actually safe you life and give you a solid hold bow to stern. We maybe welding some up while we're here in Haiti. We'll see.

    Hey guys, just a thought but if you're wearing your glasses when up on deck, especially when you're underway, you might wanna secure your glasses when wearing them so they don't end up in the sea and potentially lost. I don't wear them myself, but my father used to and when I saw "the old man" leaning over the side admiring the clarity of the water there, the memory of my dad doing the same waiting for a fish I was in the process of catching, coming to the surface, returned to me. Needless to say what should have been a great day turned sour when his glasses were lost over the side and it set him in a bad mood for the duration of the whole weekend before he could go buy some more. The cost of those didn't do a lot for his mood for the first part of the week either, lol.

    Great video guys, but be real careful with what fish you eat. You lucked out that you didn't get ciguatera with that barracuda. It's a good idea to invest in a fish identification book for the Caribbean that tells you what is safe and what to avoid. Ciguatera can wreck your world.

    • @rynflynn
      @rynflynn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Yes you're right all predatory reef fish pose a threat, but it's also known that of those certain ones pose a higher risk and barracudas top that list. There's also known guidelines out there for size cut offs for when a fish poses a higher risk. I'm just trying to help them out, not create an argument. Cruising World has talked about it several times, and this book is carried by many cruisers, even shows up on other popular vlogs: www.amazon.com/Cruisers-Handbook-Fishing-Scott-Bannerot/dp/0071427880

There are folding winch handles that can stay in place and flip open to use. My cousin had his ribs cracked by a winch handle left on when a gust caught the Genoa and snapped it loose.

    Dragon Chili Pepper that meassures 2,2 milions scoville

      How so when their "peanut" mix has no biocide and is not self polishing?

      +arumrunner it's all very unscientific. We didn't have a controlled study. We don't know at what rate marine life grows in that particular body of water. We don't really know at what rate the material came off the boat and if there was any damage to the substrate. We will see over time if they end up applying a true bottom paint. Like the saying goes time will tell :-)

      +gunthreadadapters.com I watched the video again this time playing closer attention. You are right that stuff doesn't work LOL It looks like they're going to have to clean the bottom every two weeks.

    You are both very persistent with the copper coat. Have cleaned both the hulls before on scuba.... You are both free diving . Wow

    How long would it take to clean the bottom that way with 2 people, including the sanding, I was thinking an hour and a half a side, or am I way out. sorry my question mark key is broken. enjoying your videos Thank you.

      +Chris “Kicks” T yeah, you have it about right. We don't really keep track of stuff like that because everytime we jump in for a swim, we clean a little more.

    Kika, I noticed your Haitian accent in your copper bottom explanation. Have you paid a visit to your home recently? My grandma always sounded more Norwegian when she'd just been on the phone with relatives!

    I wondering how the epoxy with copper mix with it would work. I would think that the epoxy would seal the copper inside it. Ablative Paint is a tried and proven way to deal with marine growth.
