    I love, poached eggs on bread.
    When I was a sprocket during the nineteen sixties we lived in the country and were poor as Church Mice, particularly after the old man shot through.
    Mum raised us three kids on her own and If we got crook she used to make 'coddled eggs' for us.
    For those who may not be familiar with the dish, it is poached egg mixed up with bread cubes....brings back memories!
    Talk about gilding the lily with a side of baked beans though! Mmmm

    Mango Ice cream, thanks for that memory...
    That reminds me of my time in Philippines, 1992, where I was introduced to green mango chips in a spicy dip, yes, unripe mango sliced into long thin chips, with a little baggie of dipping spices, this on the mountans I was working, (telercoms)

    I'm new to your channel and one thing i have to say is I really like that you added maps to your video! So many of the other sailing video's never show where they are and I wish they would. Thank you so much for your time and effort, it like being out there again.

      Especially when you consider the condition of Nutshell that Magnus and Wendy started out with! Truly an amazing story and adventure.
      If you came into their story in the middle you should really go back to their first day aboard to see the amazing progress the both of them have made to Nutshell!

      Magnus just doesn't look as good in a bikini anymore. That is really all most of the subscribers are interested in these days. Maybe with a shave and a nice current two piece from Ralph Lauren, then he could quadruple the viewership.

      @@allynonderdonk7577 I would much rather watch these two over any of the titty sailing videos!! Here you see real sailing and scenery, there you see skin and then more skin. Not interested. And how many of those millennials could possible rebuild most of the boat with a multi tool and a sewing machine? All with a good sense of humor and no foul language.

    Bloody hell, I was on edge of seat. I can only imagine how that felt being aboard.
    It’s at times like that you feel most alive.
    Fair play for keeping it together tho.
    That’ll be a memory you’ll both remember.
    I have no idea why you don’t have at LEAST ten times the amount of subscribers.

      Hi Mark. It was a scary time. Not knowing how to read the sea and never having done a pass made it trickier. We are now more experienced at passes and on reflection, that one was a pretty dodgy one in those weather conditions. W.

    I've also been keenly watching adventures of a sea dog and think he's just visited naku hiva. Had a bit of a nightmare getting in though. I could be wrong. I'm sure I saw nb nutshell pass our marina on the Soar last week. Must be a very distant memory for you both now.

  • @californiakayaker
    @californiakayaker 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to deal with current like that , with a dingy and or Kayak but I wouldn't have a clue with a sailing boat. Other than the fact that you have no control if going bow first with the current. Its a very different method of controlling your position. You set up the boat so the current slides off the side and it pushes the boat across. Too much and it makes the boat jibe, very dangerous for a sail boat.

    Ooh Wendy, you gotta drain all that excess liquid out of the baked beans before you add the beans to the eggs for a 'big' breakfast, which normally entails also having sausages, bacon, tomato, and a hash brown. Anyway, all the best with your adventures.

    • @LifeinaNutshell

      Hi Nijel. I think you are right. We bought a different brand of baked beans and there was a lot of liquid! I now drain most of it out before I heat them up! W.
