- We've seen these massive concrete blocks several times but we had no idea just how important they were! In this flying visit to Portland we discovered an ancient pirates grave, collected a mountain of post, and we learned an amazing lesson about the Mulberry harbours and got an even greater insight into the levels of genius which were on our side and ultimately why we won the war.
If you'd like to learn more about the Mulberry Harbours then be sure to to check out this amazing video here: • The Floating Harbors o...

They're wallabies! They are a relative of the kangaroo introduced in the 18th century by international explorers and quickly became established (a pest in parts of the Peak District, eg The Roaches). Love your videos, thoroughly enjoy every one of them.
Half way through watching this vid now and I have three points for you; one informative, one safety and one to help you get some tucker.
1. Wallaby's - looked like a load of Rock Wallaby's to me.
2. Do NOT freedive below one metre with your snorkel in your mouth. Big no-no !!
3. You move too much on the seabed, you move too quickly on the seabed, you do not allign your wrist and forearm for the shot when you extend for the shot. I think you try to reach out because fish not coming to you. Fish not coming closer because you give away your position by moving.
Love your videos and your family and your attitudes.
Appreciate the feedback there. What’s the issue with the snorkel being in my mouth? When I take it out it flaps all in front of my mask and is very off-putting, so that’s why I tend to leave it in place.
@@CadohaAdventures If you black out with the snorkel in your mouth it allows water to get into your airways.
The warship is a Royal Navy type 45 destroyer the Dalek is the Sampson radar system which can simultaneously track hundreds of targets air and sea/land from 250 miles away.
And please Dom - note she is a SHIP!!! not a boat... Boats have only one deck above sea level (such as a yacht, or a submarine) where as a ship has more than one (cruise SHIP, war SHIP). Rant over....
@@nickl74 Ha, ha! Beat me to it.
Interesting information that I did not know. I always said a boat can go on a ship but a ship can't go on a boat.
But the designer was a Dr Who fan lol
@@nickl74 Plenty of boats have more than one deck above sea level, surely a ship has a tonnage or a length involved
Hank is the most seriously chill dog I've ever seen!
The “kangaroos” look like rather a large type of rock wallaby. Wallabies generally a finer built than these, rock wallabies are thicker set and have the thicker tails, but I’ve never seen them so big. That may have to do with the unlimited food they have available in captivity.
Lovely, lovely episode. Fab filming and always something new and exciting to learn. Church Ope was a great spot. Fair winds guys. Andy UK
If you ever get the chance to pop into the cove, it really is a lovely stop for the afternoon 🙏🏼👌🏻
The "Dalek" is in fact a radar
Such an interesting video. You make me seriously want to come and explore my homeland across the pond.
Outstanding, thank you.
Love the videos , love Hank… cool calm dog !
Wallabies is like a small kangaroo
Every day is indeed a school day 🤣
Nice video guys! We just uploaded for the first time in a while due to being tangled up in boat projects - you know how it goes. Fair winds!
The perfect history/geography/sailing vlog. Thumbs up from me!
heck yah, the best kind.
love your channel i wish i was young again,,,,,,x
I'm happy that these humble little adventures can put a smile on others faces as well as ours. 🙏🏼
I was not expecting a Goonies reference from across the pond.
Hey you guuuuuuuys! From your colloquial cousin in Astoria, OR 😉
That place had ‘One Eyed Willy’ written all over it! 😬
My father worked on them as he was a carpenter doing the form work so they could pour the concrete they floated them across the channel and were sunk in place .Its good to see they are still there.
Looks like your having fun !!! hope your both well and don't forget Kinsale Southern Ireland is well worth a visit if you have time . all the best Malc
In WWII the Admiralty took over my old school in Bath. The D-Day landings were partly planned from there and the Mulberry harbours were code named from the Mulberry tree outside the window. Apparently it was struck by lightening after the war and the wood got turned into lots of key rings etc. in woodworking classes.
Great video about them here: th-cam.com/video/PSDPExBqcTw/w-d-xo.html
Hank Always Sits So Proud 🙏
In command, where you taking me now 🌊😎
Plus he always looks like he's judging you, that's classic Hank.
@@CadohaAdventuresLike A Boss...😎
Why Not, Your his Humans
WOW Sailor 👍
Glad you got to visit Ope Cove, one of my favourite spots, not to mention St Thomas's church. D-Day centre is well worth a visit if you are inertested in some of the history of Portland. Recommend going to the eastern battery aswel, the acoustics in there are amazing!
Noticed on AIS you’re in Hope Cove at the moment. One of my fave spots in the world and on my bucket list of anchorages!
You could sail to Arramonches on the Normandy coast where the remains of the Mulberry harbour is. You can go inside and pick up a mooring buoy and stop for lunch. Great to meet you all in Portland. Richard and Captain.
The water and coast looks more like Greece than UK ..
It looks superb...
Wait until you see the next video then, the water is amazing! 😁
A nice day at the cove. Thank you. The wee marsupials are wallabies. Cheers
I would say they are Black Footed Rock Wallabies Petrogale lateralis mate. It's had to be sure from the backlighted images.
Generally fond in W Oz in the SW corner and also the Kimberly area in the NW with some in the Central Oz region near the S Oz W Oz border.
They are currently listed as endangered and a recovery program is in effect.
Cheers Eric
Portland Naval sea training base, where ships newly commissioned do a work up, which gets the ship and crew up to fighting fitness. I did three of them and believe me, it was tough as hell.
Big thanks to Winston Churchill for giving the ok to build these amazing platforms (2 each). The Mulberry's didn't get over to Normandy under after the D-Day invasion. They came over in the second way of the invasion. If they had of been placed in the waters outside of Normandy before the first invasion, Rommel would of had them blown out of the water. After the Mulberry's were put in place a huge sea storm hit and one of the two Mulberry's was destroyed. A little English WW2 history for you.
Love that, thank you 🙏🏼
Hello from Dorian in Houston Texas, it s a radar dome.
Yeah, the Mulberry Harbor was scheduled to last until the American D-Day forces could land on the beach, travel inland 20 miles or so, then turn right to take the natural harbor at Cherbourg. Unfortunately a terrible storm shortly after D-Day destroyed the Mullberry Harbor. One last note for all to think about: "the British, Canadian, and American men who died in the D-Day landing and subsequent battles gave up all of their tomorrows for our today." - Stephen Ambrose (Author of Band of Brothers). :¬) Webhead USA
There were two Mulberries mate. The British one survived the storm.
@@bob_the_bomb4508 Hi Bob. Thanks for the additional info. I did not realize there were two Mulberry Docks. :¬) Webhead USA
Wallaby , got them here in New Zealand
If you ever get up to North Wales, Conwy Marina is built on the site where the original Mulberry's were built.
Type 45 Daring Class Destroyer. Tis the radar and by accounts its one of, if not the, most sophisticated air defence destroyer in the world. Shame the engines break down in hot weather though!
Churchope is awesome. Big stone though. Hurt feet🏴☠️
Your choice of music is always brilliant...are one of you a musician?
Glad you enjoy the music, no, sadly neither one of us are musicians. The three rectangles are a solar set up made by a company called Flin Solar. They have an instagram page with so many more examples of their novel solar solutions that you can find here: instagram.com/flin_solar/
Check out the sunken mulberry in Southsea just inside the entrance. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
Another great episode thanks 🙏 what make are the headsets please? - they look like a great idea 💡
They really are a godsend. Have made this season 100x less stressful when we’re mooring up, or keeping lookout for lobster pots etc.
We just bought these ones off of Amazon amzn.to/3yTE0gN
Dominic so far as I am aware concrete modules used for the mulberry system like those you discussed did not float at their destination they were designed to be towed from England to France then sunk to the sea bed after the invasion beachheads had been established.
Locations for them were predetermined under the noses of occupying German forces by a commando unit known as 'the Special Boat Service' which I believe still exists today and has basically become an English counterpart to the US Navy 'Seals'.
The reason Mulberry modules were sunk was to establish not only breakwaters to mitigate the effects of waves but as you say to also provide stable landing platforms for unloading provisions which were transported ashore via 'roads' supported on pontoons.
Another interesting but little known aspect associated with the Mulberry system was a specially created flexible pipeline which was laid across the bed of the channel from England to France to ensure a reliably consistent supply of fuel for vehicles because it was safe from interruption by air attacks to which surface vessels were obviously vulnerable.
That would be PLUTO (pipe line under the ocean).😉
Great stuff 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@CadohaAdventures
The big ones are Grey or the Giant Red Kangaroos and can be a bit much especially the males.
Theres even tree climbing Roos and wallaby's...they predate the placental mammals but are later than the egg laying mammals.🌏
@ 16:40 the Union Jack is upside down indicating distress. I once had the pleasure of calling the Fort George Hotel in Belize on VHF (they had a small marina) to ask them what was the nature of their distress when they had the union flag upside down. There was some friendly rivalry as the owners of the Hotel lived next door on St Georges Caye.
We could just about see Anika moored behind Moondance as you left Studland.
Kangaroos? 😂
I’d say they are examples of the recently defeated Wallabies 😊
Lovely filming by the way👍
The Domes (sorry Darleks) rhe the excellent Sampson Radars, If you search for a page navy lookout sampson radars it will tell you everything about them (that's not classified). The Mulberry's were built when the beaches were relatively safe (i.e. the combat had been pushed back) but before Caen was taken. They also built and layed a "pipeline under the ocean" PLUTO to pump fuel across. My grandad actually landed on Gold beach in the first wave at D+15minutes - he said even when they were moving off the beach people were already landing with bulldozers to fill in shell holes and roadways up the beach. If you go to Normandy you can still see the Mulberrys there.
Check out the D Day museum right next door to where you are anchored.
I'm new here but 4:36 I love your logo! Safe journeys!
Also; your dog looks like Royalty :)
Thanks, Carlys very talented cousin kindly designed it for us 🙏🏼
@@CadohaAdventures @Sailing Cadoha Thanks for your reply!
Hankelstein ( 9:59 ) it is. If by any serendipity we would meet, I will bow to the royal "Hankelstein".
Until then, safe sailing.
@@CadohaAdventures You guys should have more subs. Just my opinion.
Love from Amsterdam!
I'm sure Hank's title is His Imperial Majesty, Hank.. He's very regal.
Portland is outstanding especially in the sun. So much nautical happening at our 2012 Olympic's legacy. But as with anything anywhere near the Solent, fees can be a bit daunting.
Look up the Neptune pipeline and Hobarts Funnies..all D day kit.
Do you have a link for Hank's lifejacket? I've been trying to find a decent one for my Cocker Spaniel.
Most of the Mulberry harbour remnants are just off the beach at Arromanche in Normandy. The whole area is worth a visit. The new British memorial is sited at Vers sur Mer (Gold Beach). The American site is at Omaha Beach, further west. There are museums and immoveable gun emplacements everywhere.
Great video again as always. Yes, those concrete Mulberry Harbour floating concrete troughs. they had sea cocks in them that allowed them to settle on the sea bed. I do wish folk would know which way up our Union Flag flies (end of video). Imagine if the United States flag was flown upside down, LOL! Thanks.
If the US flag is flown upside down it means you are in distress.
Didn't know the Union Jack had a up side.
@@dugclrk Oh yes. The broad white diagonal stripe nearest to the flagstaff is uppermost. Regards
The nice thing about solo is i dont need those ear thingys
A sunk one sits at Southend walkable at low tide..
They were one of many great ideas the Allies had during Ww2 another were the forts to deter mine laying planes and boats and E Boats.see red sands Fort shivering sands Fort etc..in Thames Estuary and East Coast, another a boom right across the Thames 3stauryvat shoeburyness to stop submarines get up the Thames it post still sit out a mile into the estuary at shoeburyness..
Odd bit of synchronicity - at the start of the month we were in and around Garlieston/Wigtown Bay, where the design trials for the Mulberry harbours were carried out and where remains of some of the prototypes are still visible. Now in Conwy which I see from another comment also has a connection to the project.
Daring Class Detroyer.
This is HMS Dauntless.
The Darlik makes her look incredibly formidable 👌🏻
@@CadohaAdventures
Thats the multiple radar scanners and part of the electronic counter measures kit.. lot of computing power on board that needs as far a look over the horizon as possible when not plugged into flyingstuff. Mostly so they can shoot it down ..
The do get very hot ....so cooling is an issue in this weather.
Your furler and the tack of your genoa is very high. Nice that the sail clears the pulpit, but I’ve not seen a furler mounted so high. A mod? Not necessary to have the tack low to the deck due to the inner stay sail?
Hi , did you see any overners or underners ? whilst on Portland ? . Have heard of PLUTO ? Do you know what that stands for ? or the Bunkers at Studland and the flame throughers ,that were there .Yes another fine video from your crew of three . Thank you and a waiting the next , fair winds and great filming .
PLUTO - pipeline under the ocean
Them thar be Wallaby!
That makes sense!
😊👍👍
Stay safe distance from the wildfires. Heard that there’s a wildfire 30miles from portland.
Appreciate the heads up, thank you and we will do 🙏🏼
I was delighted that you included the two unused Mulberry Casions in your video. According to a very knowledgeable local boat man, these two had valve faults so were never taken to the Normandy beaches. It’s great to hear that they are protected.
Yep Dalek...EXTERMINATE!! Yep Marsupial, some sort of a Wallaby like a small Kangaroo heaps of different types. Here in Oz he'd be shot as a pest....
Those sandals must of chaffed?? An electric scooter or two might be handy. Anyone up for chucking in to get them one?
Great video guys, very interesting and beautifully shot as always 👍. Thanks again 💪
They reviewed one folding eBike... and didn't like it
In the famous words of one Mr Michael Cain, "not a lot of people know that" The skull and crossbones was first adopted by The Knights Templar as their flag long before it became know as the Jolly Roger and used by Pirates.
That is there high powered radar mast
👍🌊⛵🎣💯
Why is a fire extinguisher stored in the engine compartment, where I'm supposing would be the location of the fire? Not critical, just curious.
I suspect that boat belongs to a world ending monster they all do!!!!!😔
they look like "rock wallaby" :)
Are they friendlier than Kangaroos?
@@CadohaAdventures not in the wild :)
they are rather shy
but they all get used to humans if they are born in captivity
Another great video, I notice you seem to have strayed away from the classical music, shame with your great camera work it always seemed a bit more epic with the classical music. Still waiting on when you will come visit us in Turkey
We will certainly get there eventually, in fact what with all of the fallout from Brexit, time in Turkey if you were going to the Med seems like a full gone conclusion now, which I’m sure in and of itself is a very rewarding detour.
Yup. Wallabies mate.
I learned, a thing 😬☺️
That’s a good looking gun, Is that a Teak Sea you are hunting with?
It is a teaksea. It almost feels too good to go and hunt with, feels more like it should be mounted on the wall, not getting scuffed and worn with all the sessions I keep taking it on 🥺🥺
@@CadohaAdventures That’s awesome, nothing like having quality tools to get the job done🤙good luck with your spearing and all the best with the channel.
13:09 What is that rectangular thing on the mast above the main?
The are actually solar panels that we deploy when we're anchored up. This is the company that make them and they have so many novel ideas for solar solutions on boats: instagram.com/flin_solar/
An Amazon link to those handy walkie talkie headphones would be great (and trickle some more pennies into the Cadoha pot) ;-)
They look to be Sena SPH10
That is a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?! 🤯
These are the exact ones we bought: amzn.to/3aLJqm3
@@CadohaAdventures Many thanks. Oh, there is also a mulberry in Langstone near the entrance which sank there when it was built (apparently the factory was based there)

With headphones.. just tell her you love her !…. And get a pair for Hank as well!
Is that the play I make when I'm in the dog house? 😬😇
@@CadohaAdventures 😂😂😂 I've spent my married life in the dog house 😂😂😂, so use to it that it's "my normal" 😁😁
You do such a nice job with your videos--great editing, great shots, great content, great music, and just a mote of ah-Ha! Metric for weight and standard for distance? It's so confusing for us colonials! That's metric mote, by the way.
Ha ha, I remember an American guy in Vegas, who I was playing poker with, ribbing me about that. I tried to tell him we're metric in England and he said 'Yeah? OK, what's your speed limit on the motorway? Or, how tall are you?" 🤣
He had me there.
Firstly I have followed and watched you for a very long time and generally always look forward to your videos!! But what is with all the spear fishing Dominic? I know you want to be self sufficient but can we see more sailing please? After all that is why most people tune in for SAILING content. And of course to see Hank! And when are you going to sail to some different locations other than the south west coast?
We sail to different destinations all the time, the south west coast is packed full of amazing spots that we still haven’t been to.
If you mean different countries, I have no idea. It’s just a vlog about living on a boat full time, where we go, what we do, and how we do it.
The content is just whatever we enjoy making and sharing. At the moment we enjoy being here and exploring all there is both above and below the waves, yes we are trying to be more self reliant and eat more how Mother Nature actually intended us to, which is something we’re enjoying learning, developing and sharing. I think most importantly we’re making videos that we will enjoy looking back on when we’re 80 and reminiscing all the fun we had while living on a boat, regardless of where that may take us.
I used to think the grass was always greener on the other side, and after travelling much of the world already, I didn’t realise just how magnificent this little island nation really is, until we bought Cadoha!
That’s the great thing about there being so many channels with people living on boats now, at the click of a button you, we, all of us can be instantly teleported to another part of the world and see what life’s like there. What a time to be alive ☺️👌🏼⛵️
I couldn’t agree with you more about how beautiful the South west coast is! And yes always so much to see and explore. I suppose you are right in that there are certainly many sailing video channels on TH-cam now. And all vary in the their content about sailing! 😁 Keep sailing wherever makes you happy! ⛵️
08:56 That's not a Kangaroo it's a Wallaby
Every day is indeed a school day here 😇
Try a Wallaby, smaller than a Kangaroo.
Local Knowledge. It looks like you are in hope cove at the moment. I know nothing about the Bigbury area but the Yealm is probably worth a visit but it does get busy this time of year. If you are going into the Plymouth area and like Gunkholing (dinghy exploring drying creeks) on an incoming tide check out St Germans river ( also known as River Lynher.) I have spent a reasonable amount of time on the hook about 1/2 mile in from the entrance ( you need to watch your draught) but stay well clear of the naval shore based establishments or you will be questioned by the river police. West of plymouth my knowledge is less.
We do love a bit of local knowledge. We have already popped into Plymouth for a couple of days as the wind shifted in Hope cove. We anchored off in a spot called 'Barn Pool'. I went to dingy Hank to shore for his last toilet break of the day and by this time it was dark, about 10:30pm. Just as I was landing the dingy, a Marine jumped out of nowhere, like a stealth, slightly intimidating looking, jack-in-the-box and asked me what I was doing? Turned out they were practicing landing crafts in the pitch black with no lights on their crafts. Nearly gave me a heart attack 😵
@@CadohaAdventures
Lol... thats part of their playground..
Can vouch for St Germans former ancient capital of Cornwall and crossed by a particularly high railway viaduct.
There used to be a pub very near the viaduct crossing ... 😎👍🏼
Say hi to Mads and Telilu tribe..formally Emilie's Adventures.
@@CadohaAdventures Change of underpants time? Yes now you are AIS you are being watched 24 hrs.
They look like the Wallabies found, strangely enough on Kangaroo Island where I am from but I'm no biologist!
Think is a big ass radar there is a channel 5 documentary on it some thing like life at sea I think not sure but its a mad looking thin and it will extramarnate you if you get too close lol
Yeah, perhaps it's the warship equivalent of a scarecrow, if all else fails, just appear to have a Darlik onboard and that should be enough to deter would-be attackers, if they know what's good for them that is? 😬
Think that radar thing probably be able to count my freckles form where it is all the way in Yorkshire where I live lol

I feel like I'm learning more from this outing than just about other in recent times 🤣
Wallabies why could you not have taken the dinghy round to the place?
I could have but the ride rips around Portland Bill and I'm not sure I fancy braving that with our 2.5hp outboard 🥺
Wallaby is the animals name
Looks like an ominous tin prik looking for a fight rule Brittania another great vid the regal Hank going good. Wallabies cheers n beers Marty Australia
But your living the life

Wallaby or Wallabies for multiples
wallabys lol

What breed is our buddy hank? My favorite three mariners. Absolutely adore your uploads. Edited and filmed in such an interesting way every time.
hes a Visler, a Hungarian hunting dog
Hi nothing wrong with cornbeef and baked beans.
Hi from 🇦🇺 Aussie your colonial family, they are black face rock Wallabies as if u didn't know Dom!!!
Those 'kangaroos' are actually their smaller marsupial cousins called wallabys
Oh dear, someone is flying the Union Flag upside down (16:41 seconds) .
Maybe they’re in distress and I didn’t realise? 🙁
Those a Wallabies not Kangaroos.
Deep down I had a feeling they weren’t kangaroos, just couldn’t think of the name for them though.
I think your small kangas are wallabies.
Yes, you're right!
Wannabe kangaroos?
Small kangaroos are known as wallabies
