I'm so sad to read that this adventure is coming to an end, at least for now. I feel really connect to this chanel and its protagonists as they keep things simple and affordable. It is inspiring by showing that it's feasable. Furthermore I share the concern about the conservation of coral reefs and oceans. I prise you to donate the youtube revenue to coral reef aware projects. Thank you! Best wishes for you two and I hope you would continuate the Adventure in the coming years. Or maybe you would start some other interesting projects. Whatever it end up happening I'm sure it'll be for the best. Good luck!! And thanks again!!
My friend, if a carburetor is not giving you trouble, do not take it apart. Certainly take the bowl off occasionally and check for debris, but do not strip the carb routinely. Try to use an in-line filter too, if you have room for it. A carb' is a precision instrument, and it does not like being disturbed. It is the same with motorcycles. Keep the fuel clean, but do not disturb the carb' unless you have to.
Good for you that Tarka sold. Sad to hear the ride has come to an end, but the ocean will always be there. Family is more important, and you have your priorities straight. I hope you and Noustha continue to find happiness where ever you go. Thanks for taking me along.
So sorry to hear the adventure is coming to an end. But, Yes family comes first. It has been a great pleasure watching your adventures. We to are novice sailers and have been envious of what youve been up to. We were looking forward to you coming to Australia. I do hope you get to finish your adventures some day. We too hope the new owner picks up where you left off. We wish the both of you all the best for the future. Brent & Christine, Brisbane Australia.
The fuel routing in that carb is a bit iffy. I've had some trouble with it on my outboard. When the o-ring ages it can sort of short circuit things leading to the engine flooding. Can't remember exactly how it worked, but I think the impulse line for the fuel pump is on the side of the fuel bowl right next to a hole where fuel is pumped and it leaks between there.
Spinnaker and asymetrical spinnaker like this one. Three lines..an uphaul or halyard, a sheet and a guy joined in a continuous loop thru aft spinnaker sheet blocks port and starboard ( can be independent lines also with stopper knots , very important) around and outside all other standing rigging. and can be brought into the cockpit. Method. Halyard up haul first and fully to the head of the mast ( sheeve block). Second pole the guy and set (or can be set up first.. after a bit of experience, that is) Pole should be on an independent uphaul and down haul and hoisted to stand at a slight upward angle. The pole, when hoisted with the main should be a near continuation of the boom and at the same time, or independently, at right angles to the wind. When hoisting, first the spinnaker uphaul, set pole, cleat guy, haul in and release sheet until luff ( pole side) of the spinnaker begins to curl or collapse and then slack " just enough" and cleat. To fly it correctly you want the luff just on the curl but not curling. To drop, release sheet and spill wind, take down pole, down haul sock or lower and haul down spinnaker carefully and stow. Set it all up first in a windless day at anchor or in a marina. very important. You can use it on a run, a broad reach, a reach or close reach but wont work on the wind (close trisail reach spinnaker sailing is my personal favorite and I have often flown a foresail and main together with the spinnaker using this method.). Hope this was useful. Did I miss anything?
Aahhh it s always sad too lose a nice contributor like you has been , but I can understand your point and I m sure it s a transition :) Fair winds both of you 3 :)
To be fair to Tarka, she's done it before, and a number of other Albin Vegas have circumnavigated, not to mention passages around the horn. I don't think the size of the boat makes the South Pacific much more risky than on any other boat, as the weather in that ocean is very tame and predictable.
hi guys, about the alcohol-stove-fuel-crisis: one can use methanol or ethanol. ethanol is just high grade liqour. sailing the caribbean rum should be availiable. you just have to find a 70%+ kind of rum. it comes out the distillery at 70 - 85% and usually gets thinned with water to the common 40% we know. methanol is widely used as paint thinner/solvent. yes, thats the one that turnes you blind if consumed, so dont mix em up ;)
Hey Tarka, love your videos, in europe we can only dream of these sailingareas and weatherconditions. I am sorry you´re selling the boat, but your decision is correct. Don´t loose your coolness und happiness. I´m shure you will do it. Best whishes Gunter
I don't think it would work out. Our audience has developed an appetite for our story, and wouldn't necessarily want to follow the story of someone else's adventure.
Haha yeah, there's was no conclusion to that bit because we never figure it out. It worked fine after we put it back together, but we don't know why. It was probably that tiny hair on the float ;)
We normally don't tow the dinghy, but San Blas is an exception because of the easy sailing and generally calm seas. Otherwise it gets deflated and stored on deck (it won't fit inflated).
@@TheAdventuresofTarka ok. But, have you bridle your dinghy?..just a short pull on a rainy day filling up dinghy will pull out bow ring etc. Best luck t care
7:43 That brass piece is the jet and that hole needs to be 100% clean. For cleaning small carbs you need WD40, very small wire, welding tip cleaners, and compressed air. NEVER use carb cleaner and if you don't know what you're doing keep the air pressure low.
@@TheAdventuresofTarka I was about to say where will you be soon and I'll send some but I just saw you are selling Tarka. Hopefully you can get the family straight and you and Noushta can get another boat. Good luck.
If you don't know what your doing with rebuilding your carburetor, you should either not take it apart or get yourself a service manual there will tell you how many turns on them screws and stuff so you get the air and gas mixture correct if you don't you could have real problems as you have found out, what you need is a service manual not a diagram diagramwill show you the parts but not give you the correct turns on the screws to mix your gas and air and such things
@@TheAdventuresofTarka yeah that gas air mix is crucial to get correct if you keep having problems with it shoot me a text with all the info o. Make and model and year of your engine and I'll see if I can run down the info for you
One of the most genuine sailing TH-cam channels I have found yet. I hope you both return to the sea soon. You will be missed by many.

I too am sad, Very sorry about your Dad. Tarka has been a good boat, and I hope you find another in the future!
I am currently saving up money to do this too. can't wait!!!
Where will u sail out of? Ill be out of the east coast canada
Goodluck
I do the same,i cant wait😍
Very nice channel,good luck!!

Nice episode...pretty sail...Nushta's smile still is in first place...very fortunate skipper
I purchased my Irwin 33!!! You are my inspiration! That location is phenomenal!
I was inspecting this boat with intention to buy her about 20 years ago! It is interesting to watch her sailing the world once again!

Love your story! Can't imagine it ending anytime soon. Guess by the comments your giving up cruising? That would be a shame!
Another fantastic footage ! Happy birthday Ms. Nushta!👍🙏🎉
What a wonderful life. Good job on the carb!
Nice deployment and dousing of the Airbag. Sharks freak me out, don't like being in the mirk with them one little bit...
It is always a treat when a Tarka video comes out! 😀 Keep the great videos coming!
Gelukkige verjaardag Noustha :-)
dankjewel!
need some really small wire to push thru the jets on your carb keep it up yew love it
I love the normality to you and your boat..!
Warren
s/y Legend
Thank you!
Been looking forward to this vid. Underwater footage fantastic!!
I love your videos so much. Thank you.
Great episode Tarka!
I quit my job the 31st my boats in Sanford marina in Florida I’m catching up hope to see you soon tarka
Trimming?? If the boat's moving and the sail is not flogging, you did it good enough! Anything extra is just a plus!
Thanks for sharing!

Clicked like 2 seconds in- never disappointed 😁
Great video and your gennaker trim looked fine to me :)
Absolute gold! Thank you!!
Great video guys, Smooth Relaxing and mellow as always 10-10 keep up the good work, fair winds!
Sad to let you go....💕
Thanks for the shark footage!
Im kind of glad it ended. I think a pacific crossing in a boat like this is very risky. hate to see something bad happen.
To be fair to Tarka, she's done it before, and a number of other Albin Vegas have circumnavigated, not to mention passages around the horn. I don't think the size of the boat makes the South Pacific much more risky than on any other boat, as the weather in that ocean is very tame and predictable.
I bet you're fun at parties...
Wonderful video!
Great video as always happy belated birthday to you and can't wait for the next video.

It’s normally called a sock, not a condom. 😉
Awesome
Hey Tarka, love your videos, in europe we can only dream of these sailingareas and weatherconditions. I am sorry you´re selling the boat, but your decision is correct.
Don´t loose your coolness und happiness. I´m shure you will do it.
Best whishes

I wonder, if whoever buys Tarka offered to continue her voyage, and the youtube series, would you let them?
I don't think it would work out. Our audience has developed an appetite for our story, and wouldn't necessarily want to follow the story of someone else's adventure.
So what was the final outcome with the carburetor? You left us hanging! Nice video BTW.
Outboard worked again, but we never figure out why. It might have been the idle screw being improperly set, but I really don't know.
They show it running for longer trips.
Spinny in the water can cause a capsize.
You always make such a calming videos. Even swimming with sharks. Haha. But what was wrong with the carb?
Haha yeah, there's was no conclusion to that bit because we never figure it out. It worked fine after we put it back together, but we don't know why. It was probably that tiny hair on the float ;)
@@TheAdventuresofTarka now that just made my day. Thanks for the laugh!!!
Subbed u
If you are selling Tarka please tell us you are getting a bigger boat.
He is going to take care of family matters in Seattle, since his father recently passed.
Great videos. Suggestion, don't pull ur dinghy just hop it onboard ..it slows u down as eventually could lead to trouble .. best luck enjoy!

The faster I go, the behinder I get. Slow steady calm wins the race.
Do you need to have a captains license or anything in the areas youve been to? Like in most Mediterranean countries.
Not if you aren't for hire.

Other than WD-40, we don't have any of those things, haha. But oh well.

Read some of the other comments, are you calling it quits soon!?
Do you think a person could live this lifestyle on $1000 Canadian/mth?
How did you learn the ins and outs of sailing?
kickass man youre an inspiration. how old are you?
Nice ...😍😚⛵💑🎊🎊💐
👍👍
What? Did they just leave you guys without saying goodbye?
We'll be joining them again in the next episode ;)
are you going to be able to sail longer then the 3 year original cut off?
Cópia em Deus amigo que vai fundo da certo

My two cents....you vids are approaching Early Uma QUality....Keep it going you will be SV Delos in no time!!!!!
Hey thanks! I don't think we have the budget to reach their level of video quality though, but we try to make the best of what we have :)
I think his videos are better than Uma.
