Cheers! Yeah, we are both musicians and want to shine a light on those more talented than us. Our theme tune is by Arrows & Bullets. If you’re looking for a new band to get into, check them out. We love them.
Wow! Fantastic idea to upgrade the strip color. If I get through all our other BIG big big projects, I'll be doing this! Driving up to the boat and not seeing red stripes will make a HUGE difference.
It’s probably one of the biggest “cleaning up” changes we have made so far and also probably one of the least costly. It’s incredible how effective it is.
Yeah overheating electronics can be a challenge for sure. We have been pretty lucky so far but I think between heat and salty air, most things are destined to eat themselves.
You responded to my comment and we had to check you out. You are great and we are now subscribed. Do what you love! There are so many TH-camrs out there now it’s a crap shoot to make a living. Enjoy your life! Keep posting, and maybe we’ll see you in the Bahamas.
Hey! Good to have you onboard. We really do love sharing our little adventure and hope it brings some fun to everyone who watches. Can’t wait to cross wakes somewhere in the world….we just have to find out which way we are going first 😂
I had a computer repair shop/computer consulting business and left it a year or twoish back. I had three Macbooks die within three years. Basically one a year when exposed to salt air. It seems that they don't coat the circuit boards well enough or at all to resist salt air. Ask me how many I had to repair with those same issues!!!!! Fact is I don't know but it was a lot. I learned my lesson with having them on the boat. It doesn't necessarily mean anything else would fair better, but my PC laptops I have bought have been averaging five years. Which they have a design life of around that much anyway. The fact of the matter is you can buy three higher performance PC laptops for the price of one mid performance Macbook. Black Magic makes a really powerful and free PC based video editor that is on par with Apple's offerings. So if you wanted to switch to Windows that is a good option. Also it is possible to load MacOS on PC laptop hardware. I've not done it myself but there are tons of tutorials. You just need another mac to download an OS image and a few other tasks. I also wanted to say I loved the striping!!!
Yeah, our relationship with Apple computers has been somewhat strained to say the least. We actually edit on premiere pro so that is agnostic when it comes to processor and OS to some degree but our budget was limited and we needed to get something that we had a track record of working with. That being said, if we ever could scrape together the funds for a monster Pc laptop that could handle the rendering work load that would make a huge difference to our reliance on apple. They certainly have been thru a few generations of @not so great” laptops but perhaps that is about to get better with apple silicone?
That absolutely correct. Indioko has had a tough past life so we will keep loving her back to her best. The stripes were a little worse for wear. We love the new grey vibe tho. Feels super modern and really changes the look of the boat as we dinghy up to her.
I love how you display your background music titles in the lower left corner. Unique from what I've seen on sailing channels. Fun video. Brioni... lanyards on tools! Craft knife, drill a hole near end of handle and run a cord loop around your wrist. Good job on the stripling!
Thanks so much for joining our adventure. We’re glad to have you onboard! We actually have our windlass controls on a lanyard for that exact reason - I was more scared about popping the dinghy than losing the tool though! 😂
We were really surprised. So many more mini hacks to come. The problem is the list keeps growing lol. Pleased your enjoying the adventure. We are loving sharing it. 😊
@@RedSeas To make sure nothing was lost in translation, by a wrap do you mean like a plastic car wrap, or does wrap mean paint in Scottish? My plan was to race the beach cat, so wanted something easy to cover up patches. Of course had one buddy paint a bandaid over his repair, it looked good & funny.
Haha. Appreciate the need to check the translation. We have seen a few people wrap their boats the same way you see cars get wrapped. Let’s them put fun designs on or just keep the boat beneath in a slightly better condition. Not sure it would be economical for Indioko as she is already pretty sun tanned from her years on charter but perhaps we work out a solution if it gets to a stage where we have to.
Haha well as you know, the chances of us finding the “real” hikes are pretty slim. 😂 We are really surprised at the difference the stripes have made. Indi looks 10 years younger!
Great video guys. Indioko is certainly looking nice. Our older ex-charter cat had green topside stripes and boot stripe, which I changed to a mid-grey as one of my early tasks. Like you I was surprised at how much better and modern the boat looked..... Changing the stripes of course then triggered the need/desire to replace all the green canvas items, they were looking a bit sad anyway. Always keen to see what others do to their boats to modernise them (I like to steal ideas).
It’s crazy how much nicer she looks now. Hopefully we have a few more little boat hacks up our sleeves to share with you. If you haven’t noticed already, we do all our own boatworks and usually improvise solutions along the way as we never have the right tools 😂
It’s just generic vinyl stickers, cut into strips for us by the sign guy in Chaguaramas, Trinidad. We measured how wide we wanted the strips and he cut us a whole sheet so we could apply them later. So easy!
re your engine problem and most definitely not an expert. My guess is that if it is a relatively modern engine it might have an ECU Engine control unit fitted.It might not however if it has it is either that or a sensor
Interestingly, we were thinking similarly. A sensor makes most sense to us but we have had some really useful insight from our patreons. Turns out there are some really amazing experts watching our little adventure. 😃

The original Rocky Road.
It was a trek for sure.
Not many people have seen wales face to face. Another one off the bucket list for you guys 👍🏼
Yeah, we have been pretty fortunate in that respect. Lots of marine life apparently like to play around Indioko.
That cake eating is becoming an addiction 😋
And it’s soooo good!
Pinstripes look sooo good!
Makes such a difference. We were inspired by the best.
Another great video. I like you music choices, and really like that you identify what the music is.

It's really hot where you're at. Your laptop may be overheating. Try a laptop cooling tray. The fans may help keep it cooler and functioning longer.

Likly an airlock that forms overnight, due to the wave action when hosted up.
Good shout. We have been playing around with it a fare bit. One of our patreons actually worked it out for us. Faulty temp sensor 😜
Stripes make a good face lift for little cost
It was a real surprise how much of a difference they make
I learned a new word today! Thanks!
😜 I wonder if we can teach a few more.
Saw you guys listed on my WiFi router so we must be sharing an anchorage. Martinique is one of our favorites!
Haha. Brilliant! I wonder where it was. Are you still in SXM or have you moved on?
@@RedSeas Woburn Bay, Grenada
Those are The Moorings stripes. Dark navy blue over bright red. Still in use today. Moorings stripes dont look so bad to me.
That absolutely correct. Indioko has had a tough past life so we will keep loving her back to her best. The stripes were a little worse for wear. We love the new grey vibe tho. Feels super modern and really changes the look of the boat as we dinghy up to her.

What a difference a little vinyl made! I do love that model Leopard. A great find and I am enjoying your videos.
We were really surprised. So many more mini hacks to come. The problem is the list keeps growing lol. Pleased your enjoying the adventure. We are loving sharing it. 😊
Just discovered you via Iain's role on the Admiralty channel. Subbed. Brioni... You have the most NON Scottish accent.. Looking forward to your vids.
Yes I grew up in Cornwall so my accent is a bit of a mix up of everywhere!
Great job on the striping,, being simplistic just painted my whole hull white to cover the gel coat stripes. But it was only a beach cat.
We have talked about getting Indioko a nice wrap but it’s just too expensive for us. Perhaps some day if the upkeep of the old gelcoat gets too much.
@@RedSeas To make sure nothing was lost in translation, by a wrap do you mean like a plastic car wrap, or does wrap mean paint in Scottish?

@@RedSeas Thanks have not seen the boat wrapping process. Considered a Warp for the golf cart, but looked like an easy thing to screw up.
There are loads of hikes in that part of Martinique, most less rocky than the one you found.
Indi looking sharp with the grey stripes.
Haha well as you know, the chances of us finding the “real” hikes are pretty slim. 😂

did your starlink still work ? make a reply :) in another country !
Yeah, starlink has been working throughout the lesser Antilles. Such a great investment. Truly life changing for us.
Thanks for replying
Sorry if I missed that but what brand of pinstripe is that? Where can you buy it? Thanks!
It’s just generic vinyl stickers, cut into strips for us by the sign guy in Chaguaramas, Trinidad. We measured how wide we wanted the strips and he cut us a whole sheet so we could apply them later. So easy!
