Thanks for your tireless work in bringing your story to us!
Nice of Geoff in the marina office to leave you that note!!
He's a real sweety 😍😂
Lovely touch hey
I hope that Ben is the Captain!
Haven’t watched this yet because I’m saving it up.... have to go into hospital tomorrow for probably a week to accompany my wife through a tricky childbirth procedure. So looking forward to watching some SV Bora Bora episodes as a distraction in the quiet moments. So please can you upload some more next few days 🙏🏼
this man is so motivated I like him on my team
She’s a big girl out the water! There’s one of these boats on the Market at the min, he’s been sailing it around the world for 20 years! He’s even taken her around Cape Horn!!
We've seen it, she's a beaut!
Sorry to have missed you - this spring we were the Beneteau 37 two from you - I was not back from winter home yet but had been watching your vlog for a while- sent my son a link from your run a muck in a tree video on dismal swamp - he sends me back next day - that is our neighbor!!! :)
My complements on the winter cover - you look like you have experienced many winters here - and not wasted effort on winterizing - it does get cold by us - 0 Fahrenheit is not uncommon on the very cold days.
But most important - just wanted to wish you Safe Travels and for sure will catch up and buy you a pint on your next visit to Tidewater Marina :)
Hey, sorry we missed you. We had a good time at Tidewater, a friendly and helpful place in the perfect location for us to leave her. Maybe, one day we will return, until then, fair winds and calm seas.
was going to say sorry to see you go then heard you say july in New York so know your back on the water at home glade for you hope everything went well with getting her back in water and your time in England but hope your happy at home once again
Very sad indeed. Looking forward to her re-launch.
The music was the best thanks for the up date...Cap.
My uncle docked his Hunter 34 at Tidewater. 3rd slip from the entrance. Spent many weekends there and got all of my sailing experience on that boat.
Awesome! It's a great place, we really enjoyed it there.
That was a left handed cigarette lol niceeeeeeeeeee
On the hard for ten months, wow very sad to say salute, hope you have a good crossing to Ireland.
Footage was filmed last year so we are now back aboard and due to the delay in releasing footage there won't be a gap in videos....new up to date ones coming soon!
@@sailingsvborabora8712 by the way, looks like you could give your wife a run for 1st place in the bread making challenge. Looked very nice, go great with some blue cheese.
👍 Cool 👍, see you soon guys 😊😉. ➕
White Smoke is water. Head gasket or cracked head/block
No. White smoke is unburnt fuel on a marine diesel.
Could you please give a tour inside & top deck of SV BORA BORA ?? Only saw pieces & drags of this vessel . If you have already given a tour ...please let me know what episode it's on. Happy sailing !!!
Cant wait for the next episode
Was hard to do leaving her there.... but she will still be there when you return. Wonder why you didn't leave her in Florida... wouldn't have to winterise or worry about snow. Be interesting to see how Scehawk is vs Bora Bora on the crossing. Since you have a genset, might consider installing a small Air Conditioner for next year in the rear cabin for those really hot days.
Havre de Grace TideWater Marina has indoor storage.
You need a drying up rack.
Also it will be like a military smoke screen when you next start your engine, that was a lot of oil in the second cylinder!
For the injectors you can get a £30ish ultrasonic cleaner off eBay and run it for say 15-30min with a pair of injectors submerged in it.
As for 'special' ultrasonic fluid I've seen that tap water with a squirt of fairy liquid works just as well.
Safe journey Ben... see you sadly in 10 months.
miss you Nikki ! !
You forgot to winterize the shower pipe.. can't believe you did that... 😊
Yep 🙈 he couldn't believe it either!
Do you have a garboard drain have seen many boats sink on the hard if the bilge pump quits?
Fair winds and smooth seas

How long before we hear from Bora Bora again?
Why will you be gone for the 10 months?
See previous video as we explain it, but we had to go back to England to work for a few months and Ben was sailing back across on another boat as crew, so due to the winter season we wouldn't be able to return to the boat until March at the earliest, which we did this year (this footage is from last year....new up to date vids coming soon, due to the delay there won't be a gap!)
Atlantic crossing video taken down?
There was a problem with the upload, sorry...it will be up again soon!
Would love to watch it too...what should I look for on you tube ?
@@tracybrennan8261 it's not up yet, it will be in a week or two.
The transatlantic video is now live!
I watched it the other day ....really good ...hope you enjoyed our lovely Cork City ...thanks a million
