    I am constantly amazed at your seamanship and clear thinking in your decisions. Your explanation of why you changed anchorages made a lot of sense. I travelled down the Inside Passage once and immediately felt at home in the area. Looking forward to your next video and the quality of your videos keeps getting better.

    You two young folks are amazing. Sailing in some of the most remote waters on the planet in weather only an Eskimo could love and you never complain. Instead you love the adventure. I watch quite a few sailing channels with young people sailing in the warm waters of the Caribbean and listen to them complain if they get some rain or the price of a drink at one of the beach eateries is to high. It's so refreshing watching a channel with two young people who embrace the outdoors in some real adverse weather and you laugh and love the adventure. Stay safe and continue to enjoy nature and all it has to offer once you leave all the things that most people require to be happy. I really envy you and your simple perfect lifestyle.

    Last year after anchoring in the Puget Sound I untied my dinghy and jumped in only to find no oars, no key on the outboard, and strong winds swiftly blowing me away from my boat. No radio or cellphone either! Sunset was an hour away. I had never paddled so swiftly using only my arms!

    • @AlluringArctic
      @AlluringArctic  ปีที่แล้ว +33

      yeah, we usually carry a shore bag with a good amount of emergency equipment with us. One of the biggest dangers here I think is that you leave the dinghy and come back to find out that a bear has ripped it apart...

    It's a good thing factories around the world make millions of 10 mm sockets every day. The gravitational pull on these sockets is huge, whether on land or sea. Also a good thing that (so far) no one pays a tax per socket on lost ones. If the authorities ever do, I'll be broke. 8^) Great to see you and Sohvi again, happy sailing!

  • @willywonka8730
    @willywonka8730 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Noticed your OB tank was quite full. You probably forgot to open the tank vent or it was frozen over and sealed creating a vacuum and preventing the fuel in your gravitational fuel feed system from flowing into the carb. Trust me - I've done it myself with that very motor. It happened to me on Catalina Island at night in the summer. I had no oars or radio and the wind was blowing me out of Two harbors toward LA when an accommodating young lady took me in tow back to the island, festivities and embarrassment.

Maybe a scar from bear scratching? The CMT is evident where native peoples have stripped the cedar bark and cambium for use as baskets, clothing, etc. No harm done to the tree if done in the traditional way. Enjoy and thank you.
