Very recognizable🤔. We wanted to do the same, to bring Ellis to the airport. A boat had not connected to its predecessor, so the bridge closed again and reopened after 3 hours. Didn't want to wait for that😮. So we anchored at the beginning of the channel. Cu guys ⚓⛵🍻

More incompetence - there is a spare bridge unit - so they have allowed both of them to lapse their certification. It’s only 3 hrs (ish) from Vassiliki to Preveza. Lefkas Marina is expensive and Town quay slots rarely available. 😀👍⛵️

@@SVImpavidus I was just giving the Lefkas Bridge ‘certification’ issue a bit more thought and I think it is bollocks. The floating bridge has two duties carrying road traffic and being ‘floated’ out of the way. Which is the more arduous duty? It certainly is not the being floated out of the way duty - so if the lack of a certified inspection precludes its use for that purpose - how can it possibly be ‘safe’ for road traffic.

Great review and instructions! Question, is the oil/water separator enough to filter hypothetical debris from the compressor, I.e. do you feel it's safe enough to breathe the air even when there's no finer filtration? Thank you!
@SVImpavidus
@SVImpavidus 13 күн бұрын
The compressor has an oil less piston and chamber. Basically your only breathing the same air you would be when not underwater. The water separator is to stop moisture going down the hose an the same with the filter just to stop anything getting into the hose. Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid

Hi Guys. Odd thing about the Corinth Canal, it really drummed it into me, to Never have a too Tall a Mast so Bridge and Power Lines Clearance can Never become a problem, yet for the Corinth Canal itself, No Problem ? I think it was the excellent Clearance itself was what Struck me, as for Some Bridges, and maybe Power and Telephone Lines Crossing Rivers, there wasn't really a decent Clearance height. Actually a Shorter Mast doesn't really affect performance of a Sailboat that much relatively, other than for Racing, but helping to lower the CoG is more than a bit handyHence Next zsailboat with in Mast Furling, I'm ok with a 40 foot to 45 foot Air Draft tbh.

The lower of the two would help lower the pressure of the leverage, and reduce the inclination to heel, while not having much effect on Boat speed, with the right Main Sail. Should be a great help for getting under power and phone lines crossing over estuaries and rivers though, plus having a high gain aerial on top shouldn’t be a problem.
