Dartmouth is a wonderful port to stop. I sailed in in 1987 and was amazed at the pub on the waterfront. The ceiling was so low that it was difficult to throw a dart without hitting a beam. I hope you all stop in Mevagissey as that was one of my favorite stops. Torquay was a bit too quiet.
The lions mane jellyfish you'll find in the tens of thousands up the Irish sea, leatherback turtles snack on them, they have a sting but very mild, had a few tentacles over the years across the face when diving, nothing to be concerned over, impressive to watch though. good video guys.
Another great video guys! I have sailed for over 40 years and I have never made a meal on board that looked that good, you made me hungry just watching😃
It's made so much difference to the feel of the size of the boat and is a great space to get out of dirty/ wet clothing before going down below, which really helps keep inside the boat dry 😊😊😊
Well done folks. Our yard ornament got splashed today so is now officially a boat again for the first time in our ownership. Hope to see you on the water sometime. Fair winds to you both 👍⛵
Great video again this week guys as always, the scenery, (we are blessed in the South West), content, narration, closing music. Loved the Floyd on Fish part! Top job 👍🏻 Don’t change as your channels grows like others have, keep living your dream and we’ll keep watching. Until next time, fair winds. Andy
Just Done Dartmouth. And on to Fowey. Turned round and on my way back. Storm bound in Exmouth before crossing Lyme Bay. I hope you guys stay safe. Good vids. Keep it up.
It´s a pity you didn´t stop over in Weymouth as I grew up there, but it was great to see some of the south coast again. Do you have an anchor warning system?...that would give you more peace of mind at night. Thanks for another wonderful video and cuddles for Hank.
Hey Gavin, we just wanted to make the most of the favourable wind direction to get past Portland and further west this year, So just generally making less stops in places we've already been, because it's all too easy for a quick stop to turn into a. longer one with us 😂⛵️ We do have to anchor alarms, I think it was setting the potential swing distance incorrectly by me which triggered the alarm in the middle of the night, and then it's just really hard to settle again 😔😔
I would assume it was a barrel jellyfish. Smaller than a zebra but UKs largest jellyfish species still! My home town looking great here! Also, if you want to learn more about fish, seafood and foraging the sea I really recommend Joe PK and Daniel Mann. They are spearfishers but the food stuff is amazing.
crabs in cold water bring to boil slow , dont loose legs or claws. live lobster in to boiling water instant death . 30years fishmonger ,barnically crabs and lobsters more meat inside ,clean shells they have shed shells to grow and there is gap under shell for room to grow into. lobsters with eggs under tail must be releasted .as you go north you might get prawns with a fine mesh trap, good hunting.
Well yes, when I checked our first fuel filter on the engine it all still looked good, so the dipper is taking what developed at the bottom of the tank, but it was still quite disconcerting to see. We put a lot more biocide in the tanks and have been running the dipper every time we're in a roll. Thankfully, so far, the samples are getting better and better ratios of fuel to sludge and we're keeping a video diary of how this plays out for the entire season, so we can all get a clearer idea of potentially how effective the dipper and chemicals are, or not?
@@CadohaAdventures Rather than remember to turn it on and off I was thinking you could wire up a voltage controlled relay that switches on when it sees greater than 13.6v . They are only £10 on eBay, might be worth a play?
We've seen so many now in the. West Country, it's almost hard not to see them. Where we are now they seems to be two predominant species, a blue jelly fish and a compassions jelly fish. We haven't seen the huge ones again that we saw in Lyme Bay.
@@CadohaAdventures yeah they are big and look very alien. I dont think they are harmful. They wash up on the pembrokeshire coast regularly this time of year. Alittle sad when you see the big ones washed up
The only jellyfish to be wary of is the Portuguese man-of-war, which has a distinctive blue colour and what looks like a float bladder above the surface of the sea. (Like a polythene bag)
@@CadohaAdventures I think you correctly identified the ones you saw as Lions mane jelly fish.... The Portuguese man of war is in our costal waters too.. I think it then called "The Atlantic Man of War " And can be quite nasty, so steer well clear... Cheers to you both..
Don't tell that to a box jellyfish. Box jellyfish stings can be fatal because of the creature's barbed tentacles containing venom. If you encounter these tentacles, the jellyfish can poison you with immediate effects. Not all stings will cause death. ... One study cites tens of deaths per year.
Ah so we're not alone. It was impossible to tell where they were coming from, it started with just a couple, and ended up as some kind of hostile take-over! 😳
I went down to my Warrior last week.......Sorry to say, I have not found the furling staysail that I talked about some weeks ago. I will keep looking but I now suspect it was ditched some time ago. All the best, Richard
So when can we buy the fish cook book :-) You might check the rules on crab pots in Devon and Cornwall. Each county has differing rules. They seemed rather draconian when I last looked as we also carry a crab pot.
I actually got a crab pot permit for Devon, but Cornwall, when I phoned and spoke to someone at the IFCA, they said you don't need a permit as a recreational potter in Cornwall, just a maximum of five pots and only to take up to 2 shell fish a day of a minimum size which they lay out on the website.
Hi Guys. I'm enjoying your videos. Can I ask what dealer you bought your Highfield Rib from please. I did actually ask in another video, but I think it may have got overlooked. Thanks for your help. All the best Daryl 👍.
Lions Mane Jelley fish can be up to 7 feet diameter and 1206 feet long each tentacle......The sting is not poisonous for humans but may cause an allergic reaction. Some divers consider them quite beautiful.
Now that a few months have passed since you changed the cooking and water heating to electric I am interested to know (with hindsight) if it was the right decision.
Undoubtedly, yes. We could do with more solar which would mean next to no running the engine, but other than that life is so much easier now. No gas canisters on board or having to find and swap, just flick a switch. But we do have 750w of solar, 600ah of lithium and it’s the middle of summer. I imagine the system will be pretty useless come winter 😂
love your vids ,with agreat out look on life, im just back from spain, my friend has been there a couple of years and had to put his dog with a transport company as he informed me you can sail out of the uk with a dog but not back,
Yes we really wanted to make sure we ate every last bit of edible meat there was to be had in it, so so picked and picked and picked. Didn't realise just how much work goes into preparing crab, maybe I won't be so quick to scoff at the price of a crab sandwich next time 🙏🏻😁
No particular reason other than we saw a good opportunity to get across the bay. We’ll no doubt swing in there at some point, along with so many other great spots along the coast 👌🏼⛵️
@@Captain-Paul not especially, I think we were just really focused on getting to the Isles of Scilly that we wanted to do decent jumps on our way down 🙏⛵️
Hi, great video, South coast does have some beautiful places. The only thing with crab and lobster, is that I hate the idea of boiling something when it's still alive. Is this what you did, or do you have a more humane way of cooking it? I'd love to know. I used to work in the aquatics business, so have had to kill my fair share of diseased fish. Methods ranged from bash on the head, to overdosing with anesthetics, Cheers Rich
No we didn’t boil it alive, we put it in that pot of sea water until we were ready to kill it, and when we did we peeled the flap back and pushed a spike through the hole and wiggled it about and that killed it quickly. We cooked it right after we killed it.
@@markodaniell2066 Thanks, we are fully loaded up with Marine-16 products, in fact the 'Dipper' I refer to in the video was given to us by them (Peter) 😁😁🙏🏻⛵️
Enjoyable video as always. Anchor alarms are a pest until you realise that the distance you need is twice the rode length. I got this wrong my first years of anchoring and lost a lot of sleep. Also remember the alarm is often set when already a rode’s length from the anchor. I invested in a golf distance range thingy this year, my wife and I never agreed how far away we were from land and other boats - now we know 😊. Another tip for a quiet night can be an anchor sail. I intend to make or buy one this year: sailingfortuitous.com/riding-sail/ have you come across this yet? Never seen any live aboard using them but from everything I read they help the anchor, reduce chaffing and better sleep.
Yes I think I'm guilty of not allowing a large enough swing circle when I set the alarm.More school boy errors on my part. Glad to hear I'm not alone in bad math calculations 😬😬😬⛵️
When picking crabs, it's also worth checking the sex of them ... that was a female, since it has a wide flap underneath ... it's worth peeling that flap back and checking for berries as the pregnant ones need to be put back in the sea.
Yes agreed, we did peel the flap back before we killed it and there were no eggs. In a couple of videos time you’ll see me bring the pot up with six crabs in it, all pregnant and they all went back.
@@shanevillis4079 That is the rule in a lot of places. Always best to know the local regulations. We always throw back the females regardless of regulations.

It is a great station indeed, It's either that or classic FM that we manage to pick up if we're much more than 6 miles off shore 😂

Fab trip, that linguine looked amazing. Andy UK
It was so good, Carly can make most things taste great to be fair and the crab was perfect!

A , Chivers of jelly fish ? nice crab for dinner . Always a great watch and fun along the way , enjoy your sail .
The crab was amazing, Carly is the chef out of the two of us for sure!
I have seen a hatch slat holder on the side of the port side cockpit seat lower vertical area. Very useful.

Got quite concerned knowing how Carly reacts to an emergency. (When the hot water hose broke) Thank goodness it was only the flies.... LOL!
No one knows how she'll react, thankfully the flies didn't end up making the video impossible to monetise 😂

It's a military restriction zone and your drone would be forced to land automatically. It's due to the firing ranges at Lulworth I imagine.
