Loved this episode-your videography and music choice just make my heart happy. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. (Hope you enjoyed eating that orange-if it had been me juggling there would have been 3 to eat.)
Just found you on the tube and i have got to say that i think i am living my dream through you, fab video making from a fab couple. Keep up the good work.
You should cut you some plexiglass and get some peal and stick velcro for the door that way you can open the slats when it's hot and velcro on the covers when it's cold and windy
Your a beautiful couple stay safe and look after those lines just like checking your oil if you haven't got none or its spoils it ain't working obviously need to sail somewhere warmer have fun out there aye

@@lubberwalker - Thanks for all the great info. Sounds like you have your boat well sorted. We have an additional head unit for our autopilot system, but beyond that it's hand steering.
@@SailingZephyr pretty well. In a bungalow. Hull material=brick! But 2 weeks ago it was 41kts at Chichester and I was in that between there and Bembridge. The prevailing wind funnels westerly through the solent. I was trying to beat into it with the tide. Big waves. But a bit different when the RLNI are 7 miles away. Ciara had 91knts over Wight on Sunday and has caused a shed load of damage. Half that now, hopefully it will calm day after tomorrow. Meanwhile our Bungalow is 8 yards east of a gigantic lime tree. The wind is westerly. If it goes it'll take out the whole building. Sorry to make you jump.
@@SailingZephyr after 30 years on and off sailing, I still don't own my own boat. But that means I've sailed a few different ones. I've got such a long list of attributes I've found and liked (or disliked) finding my boat is nigh on impossible. It's always next year. I use fractional sailing outfit's to sail very new yachts that I couldn't possibly afford but wouldn't buy if I could. Production boats are getting less and less substantial and the same can be said for their character. But good enough for my loose crewmates and me to sail once a week. Maintenance free too. But I'm thinking again of next year. Storm Dennis is on the way now up hear so maybe no sailing for the 2nd week in a row.
Hey Ian - good call on the small heater. We just picked one up. Should help massively. The propane would actually cause more dampness. The marina is in Burriananova. Cheers for watching mate. 👍

Thanks Barbara. Oranges were particularly tasty. 😋

Hilma suddenly lost their rudder having done some electrical work.
You must be glad you weren't in Valencia for Gloria, was pretty hectic apparently, lots of damaged boats.
We were 40km north. Next video... ;)
We're in storm Ciara now.
Yikes how are you coping?

Good lord. Glad you guys are safe. 91kts is increíble. Send me a pic of your boat. Love to see it.

Storm Dennis is on the way now up hear so maybe no sailing for the 2nd week in a row.
Trying to keep your socks dry while you shed the wets... Oh joy,... Wet socks suck...
this is a re-run, but it was also awesome
Sorry Rich. We had an issue with the first version. But all sorted now. Cheers for sticking through it. :)
@@SailingZephyr Y'all are great, no prob.
I have a microwave for 15 years made in Vietnam
what marina,,where,,,why not run a heater.how bout just turn the burners on the stove,that should kill the dampness.or a dehumidifier would be best???

Who's the man on this boat?

Thanks for the clarification. It's hard to tell.
Let's see if you can get more boring than this
