[@claverton]

Good vid, nicely put together

[@SailingIndiana]

Thanks so much for watching🙏🏼

[@DaveandGinny972]

Well done on the passage so far...you've left us with a real cliffhanger there.

[@SailingIndiana]

Thanks so much for watching🙏🏼 Yes sorry about that😅 It was definitely not what we expected to find whilst two days from land in either direction😬

[@DaveandGinny972]

I'm sure it all turns out OK in the end...or we wouldn't be talking 😀@@SailingIndiana 😉

[@SailingIndiana]

@@DaveandGinny972 Haha, yes that’s a good point!😂😂

[@westmc45]

Finally another video

[@SailingIndiana]

Sorry to make you wait😂🙌🏼

[@rowantully]

I’m planning on sailing from Brighton to the Mediterranean next year. Your videos are very informative. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesbishop5772]

Well done. Interesting 👍

[@SailingIndiana]

Thanks so much for watching🙌🏼

[@ianelwell8000]

Hope you bought a few, always good to carry spare belts

[@SailingIndiana]

Good point! Probably should have stocked up! Always need an emergency spare!

[@sailingprojectparrot]

Hi Lauren, does your hair not get knotty leaving it down? On our recent crossing to Cherbourg for a weekend, my hair was tied back and still got super knotted up 🙈

[@SailingIndiana]

@@sailingprojectparrot I always plait it! Think I’d just brushed it here and would have tied it up later! It was basically a rats nest after this crossing 😂😂

[@adrenazanetti3660]

Haha yes been there! I always kept my hair braided to avoid that when sailing

[@luccaspenceley2366]

how are you guys getting on with the starlink? what package are you using? thanks :))

[@Edward-uf8mi]

Another great episode. At what point does Lauren's dolphin/porpoise watch become a 'pod'cast? Good to see the hours flying by and that you're under way. I'm sure that the water taken on can be fixed, emptied, corrected and sent back from whence it came. Edward

[@SailingIndiana]

Thanks so much Edward🥰🙌🏼 Haha, a Dolphin Watch podcast is not a bad idea 😂 Yes we found the cause of the leak, was just very shocking mid Biscay and at night when we found it 🥹

[@Stephan_01]

♥️♥️🥰🥰

[@SailingIndiana]

🥰🙌🏼🥰

[@marksmeaton1470]

Why didnt you but 2 of the water pump belts?

[@SailingIndiana]

A very good point😂 We’re keeping the old one as a spare, as it’s still ‘ok’-ish

[@MondoRockable]

Uh oh. Looks like salt water ingress. Bad pipe, connector, or sea-cock somewhere?

[@SailingIndiana]

Uh oh was definitely our thoughts in the pitch black mid Biscay😂🥹 Yep, it’s salt water and from a spilt pipe… Next episode reveals all🙏🏼

[@joec4871]

You needed that part. Why didn't you buy two of them in case that problem arises again? As you buy parts that wear out shouldn't you be stocking up on back up parts? Anyway, nice video. Happy sailing.
