Really enjoyable mini documentary learned so much even from the comments!........ car tyre and chain both on the tender and also when doing overnight runs and the watch situation...... thanks again all the way from the east coast of England!!!
I don’t know why your recent post missed my observation , but it did till today . I don’t know if you realize that the comments has been disabled , but I am persistent , if nothing , Isabel really enjoyed your Senjero videos and have seen most of the other PBC videos as the subject really interested me. The real reason was to let you know about the comments being disabled ! Thanks !🤩
I was recently at RQYS for the flying fifteen nats but I didn’t know senjero was there I was so exited when I saw it, anyways great video keep up the good work
KOKOMO II at 11:39 (Reg Grundy's) was used by Sean Connery during recent visit...thus the ADDITIONAL sign right above that says "Dr. No"...so now you know.
More chain on that towing rope as it acts as a buffer, preserving the synthetic line from stress. Also more to the center of the towing lenght. A very nice type of boats, those Nordhavn.......
At 11.17, the sign that has Wally Muller name on it, the Wally I knew skippered his charter boat at full steam straight up onto the beach, just missing rocky outcrop - while blind drunk. The hostie came on deck to see what happened and Wally grabs her and throws her over the side, yelling at her to get the F*&^ing boat off the beach. His boat at the time was the 60 foot Coralita, the hostie was my friend and it was a joke for years to come around the waterfront. btw, the hostie managed to get back on the boat, the deckie got the boat off/while fighting Wally and luckily there were no paying passengers on board at the time. The Coralita got the nick name "Crown of thorns" (due to the reefs he hit) ahhh the 80's.....
More chain on that towing line to get more elasticity. The towing line should be under water in its central part all the time and the chain in the middle of it.
Does someone have to be on the bridge constantly watching for other boats or hazards, or can you just set the autopilot and the boats just goes where the computer tells it to? I would assume someone is always on watch. Do you handle that in shifts? Just curious how it would work if you only had two people on the boat. If you were by yourself, would you have shut down at night to rest? Sorry for the long winded question, but this type of adventure seems fascinating to me. Thanks for sharing.
Chris Biggers You would always have someone on watch, if there’s only 2 people you would usually go for systems like 4 on, 4 off, so one can always get like 3h of sleep.
This is the first time I've seen the name Senjero on another boat. My wife and I bought a new build Norhavn 57 in 2005., which we named Senjero.
This makes my dreams of a mustang 3200 in tin can bay look very lightweight…what a life you guys have earned yourselves 👏🏻
Watched a few times really enjoyed, fantastic nordhavn 68

Absolutely love these videos, would like to see more about passage planning and driving the boat!

You crazy Aussies, your waters are infected with sharks and saltwater crocs, but still you swim in it.
Nice boat, thanks for sharing:-)
Amazing!

Thanks for taking us along Peter. I cant wait to run that same water in my own 68' Nordhavn in a few years
I wish i would know someone who owns one so i can come with them on adventures around the world

Phil Long what a story haha!

Greetings from Japan
Really enjoy the N68 will you do anymore
Towing that boat would make me nervous.
John Deere engines? In the US, John Deere is considered the maker of older tractors for farms. Did they really build those engines?
Peter Lemonjello They do!! And they’re damn fine marine engines.

zenginlik güzel şey,iyi yolculuklar,afiyet olsun arkadaşlar :)
Doesn’t the Whaler get in the way if you hook up a bigger fish?
Peter, there is a question on Dreamers about the length of the Boston Whaler. Could you answer?
And, why do you use a tire to hold the boat calm?
The Whaler is 21 feet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drogue
Horst Brochhagen yes as Marlon answered. The tyre as a drogue are great - indestructible, albeit ugly and agricultural haha!
Do we have a camera man on board ?
Lorand Layton thanks - I will aim to improve my camera work!
Struth Cobber !
Why do so many people tow the tender instead of putting it on board?
Because there is already a RIB and a jetski on the fordeck.
I was taking about the many that don’t have other toys
how many thousand dollars to fully fill out the gas tank?
6000 AU
M A 12,000 litres
A 68 Footer and you have to Tow the Tender ????
They already have the rib tender and jetski onboard.
Towing the BW behind in those seas is madness. Easy way to lose it buddy.
Can Tom say anything other than Yeeeewww
I don't get seasick, but watching this got me all nauseous. Hold the damned camera still for a second won't ya. :)
Stephen J Payne yes I agree - will aim the be steadier! 😁
Nice video and a stunning boat. But the permanently knocking sound in this video kills everything. Spend a few dollars for better equipment.
There is an annoying muzak loop playing behind these videos which make them very difficult to watch.
Why the annoying metronome sound. Ruins the experience. Just why
John K sorry I will endeavor to improve the video work! Cheers
Boring fishing show
