All facets of your film making seem to be getting better and better, from conversational story-telling to photography, to editing, to musical volume/balance/choice, historical perspectives, your lives together on the Nutshell and everything else. Brilliant! And huge double-bonus--you didn't blow yourself up again, and seem to be healing nicely from when you did! Thank you so much for entertaining me, a laid-up old ex-sailor, so well. You make watching instead of doing, quite bearable, and it is deeply appreciated....best to you, john
North Queensland, part of God's great garden. Wishing I was there now rather than in lockdown in cold old Canberra! Mmm fresh bread and butter, is there anything better. I remember the days when you could go to the supermarket and get fresh bread, I think the definition of fresh has changed over time. Thanks for another wonderful episode, Magnetic Island looks fantastic.
Wow thank-you so good to see some WW2 history l think its important to remember all that went on...again cant wait for your next vid maybe a beer or two
I’ve watched since the NB days. Am I right in believing this is the first time we’re going to see SB Nutshell out of the water? Loving all the jobs you’ve got lined up :)
Wendy & Magnus..super great tripping with you today..thoroughly enjoyed being with you. Now that Dunny...Port /Starboard..must be a Porta-Potty. And the update list is growing and growing..crikies, when are we getting to the Kimberly ?
Great episode. Love the "hitting the bottom" - its a natural barnacle scrapper after all 😊 🇬🇧 We had a full watch on our main Smart TV. Now on PC watching ! Great Fortifications there. Fascinating commentary throughout as always 👍👍👍
Lovely video. A hurricane category one is heading for me in the morning. Connecticut. I spent the afternoon bringing everything in. Thank you for this video it really calmed me down.
I recognized the fort gun emplacements construction as USA design and details even before you mentioned the gun model. It must have been a great local effort to do all the construction but also transporting the guns and all the standard emplacements hardware all the way from the USA in those times is mind bending to imagine.
Magnus I was told by a local in Darwin that relevant authorities also add distinctive coloring and a bad tasting additive to the vinegar to prevent irresponsible yobbo's from pinching it.
Forget a plug for the sinks. A flat 5 in. flexible plastic disk will do the job but you have to hold it down til the water covers it (33 in stock at Home depot).
Hi Wendy & Magnus, can you let me know what happened with the new Engine you were going to install? I'm sure I've watched every episode - some twice but I don't remember seeing anything about the new Engine after the episode where you purchased it??
I got it online from Lekue. But I’m not happy with it long term. It has cracked very badly and Lekue won’t answer my emails for warranty. It’s a great product before it cracked.
Hi Peter Lieutenant Cook noticed an anomaly with his compass when he arrived at the island. However later on this anomaly was proven to be something on his ship and not the island. The island kept its name.
Hi Moona. Here’s my basic bread recipe: Basic Bread Recipe Ingredients 500g plain flour 7g yeast (sachets work best because they stay fresh) 150ml warm water Additional water approx 50ml Slug of olive oil Teaspoon salt Teaspoon sugar Method Place 500g plain flour into a large bowl. Add olive oil and salt (place salt around the edges) Place 150ml warm water, yeast and sugar into a container. Steal approximately 2 tablespoons of the flour from the bowl and add to the yeast mixture. Stir and let it sit until the yeast gets excited and the mix ‘grows’, approximately 15 minutes. Make a well in the centre of the flour and gradually pour the yeast mix into the flour and mix with a spoon. Add small amounts of water until it holds together. ‘Knead’ (roll over and poke with your fingers!) the mix in the bowl for about 2 minutes. Cover with a tea towel and leave until doubled in size. Anything from 30 minutes. Push the dough back down and place in a greased loaf tin. Let it rise again until it looks good. If it doesn’t rise much cook it anyway as it will rise a bit in the oven anyway! Cook in preheated oven at about 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until you get a hollow sound when you tap it. You’re done. Enjoy!

Well done. Class.
Thank you Brendan. W.
Wonderful! Thanks

Ah, neat comment. Fun. Loved all of the scenery shots and travel log. Loaded video. Thanks for giving us a cheer.
We head off to The Northern Territory this week and then the Kimberley at the end of the year. Nice Porta-Potty joke.

Getting new sails for those who don't sail is like replacing the old V6 engine in your car with a new V6 engine. Sometimes even a new V8 engine.
It’s amazing having new sails.
Love your videos.

Have a nice day! (хорошего дня). Не забудьте пожелать собеседнику хорошего дня;

It’s still sitting at home. I haven’t found a gearbox for it yet.
@@LifeinaNutshell Okay. I thought the Isuzu must have been knackered.
The Isuzu knocks a bit and blows a little smoke on startup otherwise it’s fine.
Thank you for the update I was wondering the same about the new Volvo! I hope you can find a new gearbox for it soon!
Thanks for the episode! I have a question about the bread proving & cooking silicone thingy. Where did you get it?
I got it online from Lekue. But I’m not happy with it long term. It has cracked very badly and Lekue won’t answer my emails for warranty. It’s a great product before it cracked.
@@LifeinaNutshell thanks so much for taking the time to get back to me. Enjoy your trip, I'm really enjoying following your travels.
Did it get any action
are you sure you don`t need track´s under the boat like some of the russian u-boat´s that operate in the baltic sea 😜
Maybe I do.
maybe you should put some wheels on the bottom man
Yeh. We keep hitting the bottom. But that’s why we bought a solid old boat. It can handle my driving.
@@LifeinaNutshell You could probably get discount for 'Offroad Australia' membership
Magnetic island got its name how?
Hi Peter
Lieutenant Cook noticed an anomaly with his compass when he arrived at the island. However later on this anomaly was proven to be something on his ship and not the island. The island kept its name.
