What an excellent little clip of how to anchor off of a tidal shore! I frequently go camping on a salt water island, and having your boat end up high and dry is a reality. I am absolutely going to use this technique. I can't believe I've never been shown it before. Thanks again!
Stus the man, he's the master of fire, beer, competence, understanding, technique, and ability. Also found himself a pretty nice place to live and work. The man really is a genius. No wonder his sense of humour is outstanding. Love your work man.
Capitan Stu; looked like your First mate Eddie wanted to hang with you. poor pup !!. You got me laughing when you need to get supplies and you did A beer. That is some beautiful scenery you showed. You have a great system to make life peaceful and serene. Thanks for the tour Mate, see you on the next one. If you feel the want to do another one of these, that would be ok with me. Keep on Green Machining......
That's a great tour Stu. What a lot of overseas folk won't realise, is how brave he was walking alone in the bush in drop bear territory. If you do visit Oz and go bush walking, please always take a whistle and something to flash sunlight off, like a mirror or aluminium / stainless steel polished metal. That sound St pointed out wasn't actually a drop bear noise, it was a bird call (he was joking - that's his dry humour), but if you hear something that sounds like wind blowing through the trees, or a sort of bark or coughing sound, watch out for drop bears. A lot of tourists are scared of our highly venomous snakes and spiders, but it's the drop bears you have to worry about.
Been using that same whipping technique for over 30 years - I learned it in the Navy, and it's stood me in good stead ever since. Sometimes simple is best.
I was fortunate to spend school holidays on Dangar back in the late 50s when my grandparents lived there. Great memories of chasing crabs on the mud flats at low tide. Thanks for the tour.
I just finished winterizing my boat for the year and your video popped up. It was nice to see someone enjoy a boat ride today. Thanks for sharing your area with us.
Loved the video, been watching all your recent videos starting in 2020. I'm from and live on long island, NY, and love the connection to the bridge workers.
This was what I was waiting for with your channel Stu, the boating videos are great, but it's always nice to see bits about peoples lives as well, looks like you'd have a pretty relaxing lifestyle where you live.
think ive found a new place to add to the few i have on my travel list. Thats a cool view from the top of the hill and love your one liners. "going for supplies"
"Its pretty leafy" oh how Iove the lingo down under;) I've only discovered your exceptional channel in the past couple months, so all of this might be addressed. You strike me as a fella who lives a sort of MGTOW lifestyle? Boats, motorcycles, dogs, self reliance, etc. If so, I'm doing the same up here in the U.P. of Michigan and very much inspired by your episodes. Thank you for making do with what you have instead of always pushing people to spend money and hire out labor. You have a natural "you can do it mate" vibe. God bless you sir ;)
Hahaha. You had me chuckling a few times in this video, from the drop bears, essential supplies and the mankini. Something different, enjoyed it. There was a special on telly a while back, they did a make over on some ladies house on the island.
I’ve been watching your videos for the last few months since I boat my first boat. They have been a great source of information since the boat needed a lot of attention. This video was nice to see and explained some missing pieces of the Danger mystery.
Dangar Stu.....I truly enjoy your videos. Just bought an old 1988 Stingray 17 footer and put a 1984 Johnson 115 on it. Had to do a lot of work to both (and the trailer)......your videos are priceless! thanks for doing a great job!!
Gary gratz on yer new boat , i just wanted to chime in on the johnson motor its a great motor only one thing i have noticed on them johnson if its the auto oiler vro system fuel pump / oilpump in one , 750.00 bucks us if you can find one as well the plastic pump starts to leak external and internal bypass , on my 90 hp i also just bought had the same pump with external fuel leak spark plugs were black over oiled :( as you i had a few things to repair, i put the 150.00 solo fuel pump cheap rebuild kits avail , and i mix my gas now :) she runs great cheers mate enjoy ur new rig .
Thanks Stu. I had a cruiser moored at Woods marina Brooklyn 30 years ago and your vid brought back many memories I hold of the mighty Hawkesbury. Cheers and beers mate
Everything else you do is sharper than your knives. Nice tour, Stu. Get the lay of the land, literally. I’ll bet you could see LA from the fly bridge. Watching your steel trawler vids now. Excellent. A proud looking ship she is. Thanks for uploading.
First Mate Eddie looks quite different with his short haircut. Perhaps it is good for him during the summer. Great video, really enjoyed the tour. Of course, I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work. Fun to watch.
The Perfect Walkabout / Tiki-tour Mate.......thanks so much for that.....Im glad "no beer was damaged in the making of this video" especially when surveying the seen from the Fly Bridge....Classic Cheers Brett
I thought this topic was (indirectly) covered in a previous video.... safe placement and storage of refreshing lubricants. Disappointed that good beverages are still so highly endangered, when it's so, so preventable. :)
Always nice to see where other people live, and it looks a lot nicer than where I live, and warmer, mind the original bridge was build just after the house I live in was built.
Absolutely beautiful, love the whole island experience and simplicity of life! Thanks for the video and fantastic information on outboards, boats and all around nautical info... Love it!
Stu, that was a great video. Your (respectfully) weird humor is much appreciated by many of us I’m sure. I hope to meet you one day to be able to offer you a beer. Take care mate.
Wow, you just brought back memories, grew up at Clareville Beach on Pittwater, and used to sail up to coal and candle Creek,, or smiths creek on a Friday afternoon and spend the weekend sailing around where you just filmed, love it and miss it, I always wondered why those pylons were there, and if Brooklyn was somehow affiliated to the American Brooklyn.
Another awesome video Stu, thanks for sharing. You live in paradise bud. I spent my Summers as a kid on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Small island with no cars allowed there either, it's kind of special if you've never experienced it before. Not that I have anything against cars, quite the contrary, but it's just a very unique experience. I had an awesome day on the lake today myself, the cherry on top was coming home and finding a new Dangar Marine upload.
Thanks mate. You're right, I too love cars, but it's nice to get away from them at the end of the day. Glad you hear you had a nice day out on the lake.
That was epic, so glad that popped up. Those beaches remind me of the time I went for a walk along one, and got super lost and couldn't find my way back. I was pretty dry by the time I got to a tap......... I spent a year in Aus, as a 21 year old, nearly twenty years ago. Kick myself every day that I didn't put more effort into staying there.
If you watched the whole video, Stu managed to catch a drop-beer on video. Truly a sight to behold. After all, we don't need them becoming any more endangered than they already are.
Hi Stu, just finished watching this video and have your last two to watch yet. Love the location your at. So much different from ours here in the northwest USA. Got snow yesterday and was the earliest since 1972. Skiers are pumped. Going back to work has been interesting these past two weeks but good that it's only through March next year then back on retirement. They have me installing hydraulic tubing on the 777. Love working with my hands so this is nice and the days go by fast. Good thing is I will finally have the money to get the Starcraft out next year on the water and make some videos. Like your change of pace. We all need a break to recharge now and then. Keep up the good work. Tim
Thanks Tim, glad you've been enjoying being back at work, sounds like an interesting job. Also good to hear it will give you the money you need to get the Starcraft back in action. :)
Many thanks for the roundtrip video! I've been curious about Dangar Island ever since watching your technical videos, and now this vid resulted in an addition to my "things 2do before die"-list: visiting Dangar Island. It's quite a long trip though: from N59 E18 to S33 E151 :-)
Looks awesome Stu, thanks for sharing! Greatings from New Zealand, mainly because of your videos building up courage over my zero experience bought myself a 14,6 old fiber hull and a trailer. Looking to restore it and get an outboard for it. Thanks heaps and happy to buy you some beers if you head over to New Zealand! Cheers!
Hi Stu, Thanks for the tour. Been in that little cove where the waterfall is a few times myself. There used to be the remains of a dwelling near where you tied up last time I was there, that was about 35 years ago or so. The Auntie lived directly across from that cove on Dangar. Sort of mid way along the northern side. I always say that once you are in those bays etc along that stretch of the Hawksbury you feel like you are a million miles from Sydney. You bought back a heap of memories with this clip. I have to agree, there were nearly too many people on that beach, I hate crowds too. LOL Our beaches up here near Crescent Head are about as crowded as that one, even in high summer. Many thanks, Bruce.
An old mate of my fathers owned a place on Dangar also. His name was Ted Tiedman and if there are a few of the old timers left on the island they may remember him. He owned a big old place there which had closed in verandas and he had it for many years up till around the late Eoghties I guess. It was on the northern side somewhere near the bowling club perhaps a couple of properties closer to the public wharf but back off the water on a rise.. My last trip there was to do some plumbing on some renovations he was doing there. That would have been in early 85 I think as it was after my fathers death in late 84 and before we the end of 85 when we quit Sydney for Kempsey. My Uncle and Aunties name was Gibson and her sons name was Ron Reynolds, being from a previous marriage. Some there may remember. Cheers, Bruce.
Hey there Stu, I used to live on the island in the 80's in my 20's and early 30's. So good to see it again and some of my favorite river spots too! - I haven't seen the place since 1988 but I am seriously thinking I might move back one day .... probably to retire. A fantastic spot!
Hawkesbury River and your island are quite reminiscent of the river that I spent cruising on a ChrisCraft for many summers. The major difference is the salinity -- the river I cruised on emptied into the Mississippi about 12 miles downstream . More iron than salt in the river. Closest we have to an ocean is Lake Superior -- about 100 miles to the north . Enjoy your channel very much .
Very nice tour video! I liked it a lot. From my perspective you live in a paradice, hi hi. I live in Finland and we don't have palms and warm like that over the year, palms melts my heart. A lot of the year is boring rain, dark and cold. Some snowy bright days too. But our nature is quite beautiful too when it's summer time. I wish I have time (and remember) to film a little video like this for exchange so you can see where your subscribers live too. :) Thanks for this great channel, I've had good info and courage to fix my -89 20 hp Johnson 2-stroke! Cheers...
Missed seeing the walk around Danger Island which I've done several times and much easier than climbing up a rugged terrain as you did in this video and still lovely views.
Man what a nice place to live in 😎 Here in Sweden we are waiting for the snow to start falling and the boats are put to storage. Thanks for the vid Stu👍
What an excellent little clip of how to anchor off of a tidal shore! I frequently go camping on a salt water island, and having your boat end up high and dry is a reality. I am absolutely going to use this technique. I can't believe I've never been shown it before. Thanks again!
You're welcome mate, I hope it serves you well. :)
Thanks for taking us on a tour of The Dangar Zone.
Stus the man, he's the master of fire, beer, competence, understanding, technique, and ability.
Also found himself a pretty nice place to live and work.
The man really is a genius.
No wonder his sense of humour is outstanding.
Love your work man.
Thanks mate!
"A get a little nervous heading out to the ocean without supplies...." goes out and buys a sixpack. Ausies please dont change :)
I promise not to. ;)
@@DangarMarine Beer is like 70% water or something..... I think? A must have!
Gotta get the essentials!
Nice vid Dangar. Nice to see where you have fun ..thanks for showing your Island mate beautiful. .great day. .
Thanks Manny!
The "flybridge" an excellent view on the green machine, you are an excellent tour guide, perfect video once again!
Capitan Stu; looked like your First mate Eddie wanted to hang with you. poor pup !!. You got me laughing when you need to get supplies and you did A beer. That is some beautiful scenery you showed. You have a great system to make life peaceful and serene. Thanks for the tour Mate, see you on the next one. If you feel the want to do another one of these, that would be ok with me. Keep on Green Machining......
Thanks Angelo, glad you enjoyed. :)
Best video ever. I'm not left with any chores/work to be done.
Was always confused when you referred to the Green Machine as a commuter boat. Now it makes sense. Love what you do, keep it up.
Thanks mate, "commuter boat" is a bit of a local term that I should explain when I use it.
That's a great tour Stu. What a lot of overseas folk won't realise, is how brave he was walking alone in the bush in drop bear territory. If you do visit Oz and go bush walking, please always take a whistle and something to flash sunlight off, like a mirror or aluminium / stainless steel polished metal. That sound St pointed out wasn't actually a drop bear noise, it was a bird call (he was joking - that's his dry humour), but if you hear something that sounds like wind blowing through the trees, or a sort of bark or coughing sound, watch out for drop bears. A lot of tourists are scared of our highly venomous snakes and spiders, but it's the drop bears you have to worry about.
Sounds advice. ;)
I learn sooo much from this guy! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful island. I wish my wife and I was able to live on an island like that.
Been using that same whipping technique for over 30 years - I learned it in the Navy, and it's stood me in good stead ever since. Sometimes simple is best.
I was fortunate to spend school holidays on Dangar back in the late 50s when my grandparents lived there. Great memories of chasing crabs on the mud flats at low tide. Thanks for the tour.
What a beautiful place you live in, thanks for the great videos.
You're welcome Ted, thanks for watching!
I just finished winterizing my boat for the year and your video popped up. It was nice to see someone enjoy a boat ride today. Thanks for sharing your area with us.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the vid. :)
Living the dream, Stu! Thanks for the commentary.
This just wonderful mr Stu . I have a cottage island in summer in a large lake . Love my Lund 18 ft boat and my 20 ft pontoon
Thanks Joe. :)
This is my favorite of your videos, just wondering around in a beautiful day it's nice to watch.
Loved the video, been watching all your recent videos starting in 2020. I'm from and live on long island, NY, and love the connection to the bridge workers.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tour. I fill like I was just there. Thanks.
You're welcome Angel, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Just took a 20 minute vacation, at work no less. Thanks for the tour Stu, it looks beautiful.
You're welcome Daren, hope you enjoyed your vacation. :)
This was what I was waiting for with your channel Stu, the boating videos are great, but it's always nice to see bits about peoples lives as well, looks like you'd have a pretty relaxing lifestyle where you live.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the vid. :)
What a lovely place to live, you are one lucky fella. Thanks for sharing your videos, I stumbled across them by accident yesterday and am now hooked!
Thanks mate. Will have to run tours when the new boat is back in the warter. :)
A real piece of paradise Stu, Almost enough to make me want to move to NSW, Almost. Cheers from Queensland.
Ah, NSW, "beautiful one day, rubbish the next." It hasn't stopped raining since this video. ;)
think ive found a new place to add to the few i have on my travel list. Thats a cool view from the top of the hill and love your one liners. "going for supplies"
Thanks Calum, certainly worth a visit!
What a Beautiful serene place to live n raise a family great stuff mate thanks for posting
"Its pretty leafy" oh how Iove the lingo down under;)

Hahaha. You had me chuckling a few times in this video, from the drop bears, essential supplies and the mankini.
Something different, enjoyed it.
There was a special on telly a while back, they did a make over on some ladies house on the island.
Thanks mate. Ah yes, I remember that when then did some cabin at the back of Mel's house.
Thanks for the view, and a bit of history Love it mate, beautiful life would love to visit one day. Thanks always learning have a good one

Wow you have such a paradise on your doorstep. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks John!
Everything else you do is sharper than your knives. Nice tour, Stu. Get the lay of the land, literally. I’ll bet you could see LA from the fly bridge. Watching your steel trawler vids now. Excellent. A proud looking ship she is. Thanks for uploading.
Great video Stu, nice to see Danger, thank you for the tour.
Thanks David. :)
great video, thanks for showing me around!
Thankyou, lived in Sydney most of my life, and didn’t know any of the history of this magic place.
What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing it.
First Mate Eddie looks quite different with his short haircut. Perhaps it is good for him during the summer. Great video, really enjoyed the tour. Of course, I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the great work. Fun to watch.
Thanks Albert, glad you liked it.
Very nice ride along, thanks for the tour..
Glad you enjoyed. :)
The Perfect Walkabout / Tiki-tour Mate.......thanks so much for that.....Im glad "no beer was damaged in the making of this video" especially when surveying the seen from the Fly Bridge....Classic Cheers Brett
Thanks Brett, dropping a beer from the flybridge always results in breakage. ;)
I thought this topic was (indirectly) covered in a previous video.... safe placement and storage of refreshing lubricants. Disappointed that good beverages are still so highly endangered, when it's so, so preventable. :)
Perfect topic for next video.....Beverage Holders......and there correct instalment 😊👍
Always nice to see where other people live, and it looks a lot nicer than where I live, and warmer, mind the original bridge was build just after the house I live in was built.
Thanks mate, I do love old houses, they always have so much character.
Absolutely beautiful, love the whole island experience and simplicity of life! Thanks for the video and fantastic information on outboards, boats and all around nautical info... Love it!
Thanks Chuck, glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos. :)
Thank you for the tour.
You live a life I can only imagine. Way cool!
Now we got everything we need just brings a 6 pack haha love it
Thanks for the ride! Looks like great boating area.
Thanks Sean!
Great video, awesome place to live. I like the anchor tip to keep your boat in tidal water and retrieve it easily.
Thanks John, glad you liked the tip.
Great tour Stu, thanks for the insight into your home.
You're welcome mate. :)
Beautiful!
I was born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, maybe I should move down by you guys and feel right at home...
Probably hasn't changed all that much, particularly Long Island.
thanks for the great tour Stu very enjoyable for us here in cold canada . Poor Ed he missed a great trip :) cheers bud
Thanks Randy. I'll take Ed fishing next time. :)
I like how you think about the environment on so many levels of being responsible for Living and boatings on the water
Nice tour Bud, flown over it a few times looks a nice place to call home.
Thanks Gary, it is a nice spot.
Stu, that was a great video. Your (respectfully) weird humor is much appreciated by many of us I’m sure. I hope to meet you one day to be able to offer you a beer. Take care mate.
Great to see that you've got the Summer that I miss! Winter is coming here in Sweden. Interesting video of your surroundings.
Thanks Michael. I'd like to film a bit more on the water this summer. I hope it helps you get through the winter! :)
Nice tour...thanks.😁👍🏻🇦🇺
It is refreshing to see that you are not in the shop slaving away everyday! Looks like a pretty nice area to live.
Thanks Emre. I do get a tired of the sight of the workshop. Must do more on-water videos this summer!
These clogs are like informative comedy shows , love it 😂
Thanks for the tour , the place looks fantastic 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the tour, looks like a neat place to live, i also really like the look of your boat.
Thanks Kim, glad you enjoyed. :)
Great job giving us the layout , to us that have never been to your neck of the woods .
Thanks for the tour. I'd show you the town I live in but it's a cess pool...maybe one day LOL
Thanks Sol. All new places are interesting in their own way!
Wow, you just brought back memories, grew up at Clareville Beach on Pittwater, and used to sail up to coal and candle Creek,, or smiths creek on a Friday afternoon and spend the weekend sailing around where you just filmed, love it and miss it, I always wondered why those pylons were there, and if Brooklyn was somehow affiliated to the American Brooklyn.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another awesome video Stu, thanks for sharing. You live in paradise bud. I spent my Summers as a kid on Mackinac Island in Michigan. Small island with no cars allowed there either, it's kind of special if you've never experienced it before.

"Mildly scratched on that reef" ..... you dag lol ... good one. I caughty the "L.A." and "fly bridge" quips too .... did I miss one ?
Ahhh Gunyah Beach...one of my Dad's favourites on the way down to Cowan Creek.. Great vid Stu have been looking forward to this..
Very enjoyable video thanks Stu. I'm even more motivated to get down to Broken Bay/Lower Hawkesbury when I get a chance, hopefully soon.
Thanks Ben, summer is on it's way so a good time to plan your trip! :)
That was epic, so glad that popped up.
Those beaches remind me of the time I went for a walk along one, and got super lost and couldn't find my way back. I was pretty dry by the time I got to a tap.........
I spent a year in Aus, as a 21 year old, nearly twenty years ago.
Kick myself every day that I didn't put more effort into staying there.
Watching your videos very addictive I’m learning a lot thanks
Great stuff Stu! That anchor setup is Gold! Going to use that on my 17'. Cheers for Vancouver
Thanks mate, glad you liked the anchor setup. :)
Loved this video!
Nice break away from the technical side 😉
Thanks mate. :)
Another great video. Not many people manage to record the call of the Drop Bear, well done.
If you watched the whole video, Stu managed to catch a drop-beer on video. Truly a sight to behold. After all, we don't need them becoming any more endangered than they already are.
It was a rare and fortuitous moment! ;)
Thanks mate, VERY informative. I never knew how Brooklyn was named. Ya learn something new every day.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks Dorf, you're most welcome. :)
You are a cool guy and you live in a beautiful location! Lucky!
Thank you. :)
Hi Stu, just finished watching this video and have your last two to watch yet. Love the location your at. So much different from ours here in the northwest USA. Got snow yesterday and was the earliest since 1972. Skiers are pumped. Going back to work has been interesting these past two weeks but good that it's only through March next year then back on retirement. They have me installing hydraulic tubing on the 777. Love working with my hands so this is nice and the days go by fast. Good thing is I will finally have the money to get the Starcraft out next year on the water and make some videos. Like your change of pace. We all need a break to recharge now and then. Keep up the good work. Tim
Thanks Tim, glad you've been enjoying being back at work, sounds like an interesting job. Also good to hear it will give you the money you need to get the Starcraft back in action. :)
Many thanks for the roundtrip video! I've been curious about Dangar Island ever since watching your technical videos, and now this vid resulted in an addition to my "things 2do before die"-list: visiting Dangar Island. It's quite a long trip though: from N59 E18 to S33 E151 :-)
Looking forward to your visit. Looks like you have plenty of water to explore. South of Stockholm?
Dangar Marine actually a bit NE of Stockholm city, a small town called Vaxholm, the capital of Stockholm archipelago :-)
Looks awesome Stu, thanks for sharing! Greatings from New Zealand, mainly because of your videos building up courage over my zero experience bought myself a 14,6 old fiber hull and a trailer. Looking to restore it and get an outboard for it. Thanks heaps and happy to buy you some beers if you head over to New Zealand! Cheers!
Thanks Martin, glad you liked the vid. Good luck with your boat restoration, sounds like a great project. :)
Hi Stu,
Thanks for the tour. Been in that little cove where the waterfall is a few times myself.

Our beaches up here near Crescent Head are about as crowded as that one, even in high summer. Many thanks, Bruce.
Hey Bruce, glad you enjoyed the vid. Sounds like your auntie used to live very close to were Dave and Arn do now.
An old mate of my fathers owned a place on Dangar also. His name was Ted Tiedman and if there are a few of the old timers left on the island they may remember him. He owned a big old place there which had closed in verandas and he had it for many years up till around the late Eoghties I guess.

Hey there Stu, I used to live on the island in the 80's in my 20's and early 30's. So good to see it again and some of my favorite river spots too! - I haven't seen the place since 1988 but I am seriously thinking I might move back one day .... probably to retire. A fantastic spot!
I think it is the perfect place to retire, I know several people that have returned at that stage in their life.
What a great video! It reminds to be proud and thankful for being an Australian. And it made me want to go on holidays!
Thanks Andrew, it's not a bad country when you take the time to get out and explore. :)
Your on fire with the zingers stu.
One of our favourite places in the world.
Thanks for the history lessons, always wondered why it was called Brooklyn.
Thanks Ron, glad you enjoyed. :)
That was excellent ...Thanks 😊👍
You're welcome. :)
Sure was Stew, fascinating part of our Oz. hope to visit one day.

Nice one mate, good to see it again. Will try again to get over in 2018
Thanks Dayne, would love to catch up sometime next year if you get the chance. It's been waaaay too long!
Very nice tour video! I liked it a lot. From my perspective you live in a paradice, hi hi. I live in Finland and we don't have palms and warm like that over the year, palms melts my heart.

Nice tour! Flybridge! 😂 brilliant
Thanks a very good tour nice place
Missed seeing the walk around Danger Island which I've done several times and much easier than climbing up a rugged terrain as you did in this video and still lovely views.
What a beautiful place to live.
About time you did a fishing video stu
Ah, I have plans for that very soon...
Man what a nice place to live in 😎
Here in Sweden we are waiting for the snow to start falling and the boats are put to storage. Thanks for the vid Stu👍
Thanks mate. That's a great thing about places like Sweden. Our winters are just cold and wet, you get snow! :)
Thanks Stu, great to be able to familiarize with where you shoot, keep it up mate
Thanks mate. :)
