Cyclone Season in Australia's Top End - Free Range Sailing Ep 22

[@philenglish6611]

I'm slowly, relishing each of your episodes from the beginning, having only just found you. I had enough of La Vagabonde and am so delighted by your unassuming attitude and fascinating natural approach. Great work guys, don't change a thing. I still love Dan and Kika on Uma, but you're episodes are awesome. Cheers from a Pom living in Maryland USA

[@chrisb8783]

Those destroyed boats are so sad. Your music choices are always so suitable... I have been binge watching the series and absolutely love it.

[@chiefvia4170]

Seeing you and Pascal enjoying the rain and acting like a couple kids gives light to my soul.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

That downpour was really something else! We mucked about in it for an hour and came in wrinkled like prunes.

[@MrPisces67]

Pascale you're an absolute delight! with a most beautiful and radiant smile ... :)

[@shawndyer8140]

A genuine smile such joy that is something you rarely see these days.

[@matthewstillion3734]

Excellent episode as usual. Your channel is by far my favorite sailing channel on you tube! Why? Many reasons: both of you exhibit a calm professional demeanor when approaching challenges. The seamanship and naturalist skills (oh and the cooking) are explained very well. Your consistently solid attempts at managing risk well and not over managing risk is refreshing. Taking the time to point out little tidbits of anthropology such as cave art and ethno/paleo botanical findings in a casual conversational tone is cool. And you both have very nice personalities. Oh and finally you video and sound are really top shelf. There is a zen like quality embedded in each episode that relaxes me after I finish a 12 hr shift in the ER. Cheers my friends! And keep up the great work! Matt.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you for that very heartwarming praise Matthew. Being congratulated on a calm professional demeanor by an ER specialist is high praise indeed. Risk management is as you know, a fine balancing act and your acknowledgment of that is appreciated. As our audience grows, we are thrilled to find so many considerate people drawn to our work and are encouraged to keep doing what we do. Thanks again and welcome to the Free Range family.

[@3DSAILOR]

Totally agree on all counts!

[@marcryvon]

I could'nt find better words myself Matthew. I share same thoughts and deep appreciation of our 2 nice friends !

[@miguelmunoz2742]

Great episode rely enjoyed up keep up the good work .

[@seaweed1992]

Completely agree Matthew with everything you wrote. Tranquilo.

[@doncairns9275]

I love the way that you two find joy even in rain. Long may that continue!

[@shawndyer8140]

I enjoy Troy's humor and education Al banter with no one in particular

[@rustyjeff3007]

One of the most real, interesting & watchable sailing videos I've seen in a while. Thank you.

[@mistercoffee8872]

Love to see Pascale having a great time playing and bathing in the rain like a little girl. Thanks for sharing this happy moments, Troy :)

[@krismace001]

Alby manuals i lived that show when I was a kid and you guys are better..iv been watching sailing channels for 6 years and iv only just found yas and I feel tou guys have the best chanel ..cheers

[@krismace001]

Mangles

[@misfitfootprints2103]

Troy and Pascal, I've only recently discovered your channel and am working my way through it. Pascal in this rain scene is pureness! I'm writing towards getting my own boat one day. Maybe we'll find ourselves in the same bay and will share a wine. Keep living your best lives.

[@ravenfeather7087]

I had a commercial shipyard do some rust repair on a steel survey vessel and when I went to check on their progress saw that instead of cutting out the rusted/weakened parts of the hull they had simply welded patches over them. When I saw what they had done I referred them to the contract where I had specified that rusted portions be cut out and new metal be welded into place so as to be flush with the rest of the hull. And that the entire hull be restored to the thickness of the metal as originally built. This was a shipyard that in addition to repairing ships also built small ships. Talk about a dodgy repair. They built beautiful ships and I still don't know if they thought I was entirely stupid or if they thought they were playing a grand joke on me. What they had done was almost beyond belief. Like sewing an off-color patch over a hole in a pair of jeans. It's funny thinking back on it but I also wonder what would have happened if I had not written the contract carefully. They ended up doing it properly but if it was a joke on me it certainly was an expensive one for them. Lots of man-hours and welding rods.

[@carolbell8008]

Smart to have written the contract yourself!!

[@ReflectingMe2024]

I have said it previously, and I shall say it again. You two make compelling viewing. You each have your roles / strengths / delights and you are a joy to watch. I have never sailed, and if I am honest, I have no inclination to sail, but I absolutely adore watching your videos. I can seriously see you two as stars of your own TV show. Your presentation style, knowledge and prescience is truly palpable. Sincere greetings from a viewer in Wales, UK.

[@thebillbaker4793]

Another good video with another good story. See you like Tabasco sauce, here Texas we have it on every table, even in the pancake house. Thanks again for being my favorite sailors.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

As a kid growing up, I put that Tabasco on everything bar ice-cream. It gets a little less play now because of Pascale's great cooking (needs nothing on it) but I wouldn't sail without it.

[@bobarnall3913]

I don't know if there are enough words to describe how relaxing your videos are. The music with the wrecks in the harbor was perfect. I really like your statement in the beginning that a man must have a spear, and all that I could think of was a young boys first hunting tools is always a spear. Nice to see Pascale having so much simple fun in the rain. It was beautiful. Thank you both very much.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks very much Bob. I bet we made a bit of a scene in that harbour, we were so thrilled to be getting rain. We stayed out in it till there was no part of us that wasn't like a prune. That spear has proven very versatile and it feels very strange to me not to have one in hand when walking around.

[@williamlilliott2433]

Once entered a small bay in Southeast Taiwan on a 308' Navy destroyer as we were being chased by a monster typhoon. All anchors out and nylon mooring lines to large palm trees onshore saved our ship. We were so low on fuel (ballast) that we could have turned turtle staying at sea in 70-80 foot waves. Thank God we had a brilliant captain who wasn't afraid to do something out of the ordinary to save the ship and the lives of those aboard her. Just saying your reconnoitering is a very good idea. Loved the video and narrative with perfect music background. You have great taste and a wealth of sea knowledge.

[@p.r.h.3451]

Nicely done, I´m looking forward to learn more about living of the Land, best Greatings from Germany.

[@markleeson3453]

I might be a few years behind but I'm enjoying binging your channel.

[@cyadiy5669]

thank you for making time to share your life with the rest of us.

[@rustyjeff3007]

Subscribed. Having sailed for 2 years on a 30' I am drawn to your style. I'm much older now but still, hope to one day return to the simplicity that a small yacht provides. I dont need to tell you to enjoy what your doing, its obvious you are. I can only wish you safe travels & fair winds.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Jeffrey. What type of boat was it, if you don't mind my asking.

[@lydiaajohnson]

I really enjoy, and appreciate, your balance of fun/freedom, with wisdom and knowledge about sailing and nature. Also, I love how much you both care about the Earth.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Lydia, we are really pleased to be getting an audience of people like you who enjoy the simple things in life. Keep enjoying and we'll keep filming.

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

You are both down to earth, regular people. Your experience brings sailing to regular guys(and gals) like me. You look like your having fun!

[@iainflintoff9647]

some of your shows are hypnotic. great music, great show!

[@peterbailey6722]

Hi thanks I’m really enjoying your videos, having lived in Wickham for a few years and enjoyed the north west life in the 70 s and 80s it’s amazing some of the things you talk about have been forgotten memories of my past it would be nice to be young again and have the get up and go to adventure like I use to, but watching your videos have been very stimulating, factual, and true Australian thanks love what your doing love your attitudes, and Pascoe you are amazing your food looks really yummy, and you remind me of someone I New Years ago in the north but it’s a long time ago cheers 🍻 well done 👍🏻

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Good on you mate for letting us know. Always a pleasure to make a fellow Aussie happy.

[@percival3830]

A wonderful feeling of being in tune with Nature.

[@ronaldmellish1816]

Pascal you have such a sweet smile.

[@skookumjack]

Great film as always you guys, fast becoming my favourite sailing channel! Keep up the great work!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

cheers Jack!

[@lanimcdonald4411]

Yet another fantastic episode. Some really good content, very well done as always. Keep up the good work. Lots of great tips on cyclone prep. Seems like there are quite a lot more wrecks than there were almost three years ago when we were there. That looked like a pretty tasty breakfast. Another few hand recipes in the episode as well. Nice mud crab there at the end.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for your encouragement Lani. Yes it was a real treat to get back to civilisation and grab some eggs to go with our smoked seafood breakfast

[@billroberts3864]

The boat graveyard is a reminder to be very careful in that area. Thanks for the tips on finding a secure shelter in case of a big storm approaches. Your spear looks like you will be able to catch good meals.

[@tyforsyth7546]

My father lost a yacht in that harbour from a cyclone

[@christineminer2117]

This channel is a gem! Thanks you. Started from Eo 1 and working through your journey. Love it

[@gregbolitho9775]

Re-watching some of the older stuff Gove is amazing. Wouldn't mind getting a fixer as a project, think they're a bit far gone though. Nice goin though m8s, stay safe an well.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

Love your videos...Amazing stuff very informative...ALL of my life I have Loved the idea of going to Australia, but have never had the chance..and I am 50+ years old now...so it is Very awesome to watch your videos as I feel I am there with you learning a Great deal from BOTH of you...Thanks a Million for the tours and teachings Good on Ya!!!!

[@rmccabe117]

Just found you two a few days ago. Great quality of content and the two of you are so easy to like. The balance between useful and too much is really dead on. I've been boating all my life and plan on doing some true costal cruising when I retire. Not an episode goes by that I don't learn something so please be safe and keep it up!!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for those kind words Richard. we really hope we can make life a little easier and more interesting for our growing family of viewers. Good luck with all your plans and take care mate.

[@aussieflybum165]

Great episode guys and thank you for showcasing our little town up here :) The wrecks on the causeway have now been cleaned up to.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We loved your little town and its people. Shifting those wrecks must have been quite a job, though I imagine there is some hefty equipment lurking around Gove.

[@aussieflybum165]

Free Range Sailing Yeah just a couple. Would you mind if I shared this one and the 1st aid vid on our shops Gove Tackle & Outdoors FB page?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You can share any you like Chris. You guys gave me great service when I dropped in.

[@uraqtee]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel, mostly because of the knowledge you both possess and the way you explain everything, have fun and be safe

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We hope some of the information is still useful in Texas Ken!

[@edrosenberger6947]

Another trademark interesting episode from you two neat people!! Thank you Pascale and Troy.....

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure Ed.

[@hanfordcreek5309]

What a treat! A double feature! Those spring rolls looked delicious.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Pascale has a knack of serving up the most incredible food from very basic raw ingredients.

[@celiaedwardes-ker674]

Really enjoying your wonderful series. We did travel from Darwin to Gove on the Malu Trader a few years ago and it was great to revisit in this episode.

[@lesreif1879]

Great series, not a lot of cyclones hit Gove but lows do often slide by and it is best to prepare. Like your thinking.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Les we've since moved up to Torres Strait and we're pretty safe from cyclones now but we've still got a bolt hole creek in case a big storm comes through.

[@rathesungod256]

Bravo on the Rain Joy Dance 🐋

[@geo.sackett8154]

Always a good mix of music and commentary with your guy's videos, safe travels.

Another fantastic video! Not sure if your still travelling around Australia or you have already👍 Content of your travels is out of this world! Scenery and underwater shots are pristine. Thank you for letting me tag along👍 B Deacon Brandon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@andrewbough7926]

Brilliant video!Loved Pascale frolicking in that amazing fold up boat of yours!!Hope any Cyclones are friendly ones for you guys!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Andrew, we hope so too!

[@wildscotsman1]

Always enjoy your vlogs and it's really great to see you have picked up more subscribers in past few weeks.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks and yes it's steadily climbing. We have been getting some new subscribers when viewers share our channel on Facebook with their friends, which really is great and we're getting to interact with some fantastic people in the bargain.

[@wildscotsman1]

I don't know why I hadn't shared on Facebook before but I have now.

[@jimjenkins673]

Fantastic. I liked your hammerhead almost as much as the eagle of Joseph’s I ordered today, thanks for showing us your incredible country. ,,,,,,/),,,,,,,fair winds.

Great video guys. The tips about assessing cyclone holes were invaluable. Cheers

[@FreeRangeLiving]

No worries Greg really glad we can pass on information to you all!

[@alisterstevic9742]

Great episode Pascale and Troy.

[@davidsharpe7644]

As always very interesting and informative.

[@vanveen8472]

first rain in 9 months, hard to imagine, thanks for taking me along again

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Unless you count standing under a Kimberley waterfall.

[@rimasmeleshyus6545]

Great video,many thanks Warm Greetings from the garden island of Kauai.

[@fitnessasusual2569]

Awesome videos, you are adding value to the Australian natural sites. Thanks!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you here again.

[@fritters56]

my uncle used to take his trout, soak them in thousand island dressing, then smoke them... oh so good. though I remember a secret ingratiate too, though I suspect it was a bit of honey mustard. my uncle has since passed on and took the secret, the cabin and the trout fishing stories with him

[@blessed885]

Hey you guys didn't wake up think you guys are going to be taking a bath in a dingy did ya 5:00 you both are great I'd bonfire with y'all any day 🌬️💨⛵🤙🏻😇 Be Blessed 🙏🏼

[@user-earthandfire]

very informative, useful (and entertaining) tips. Fast becoming my Fav sailing channel. Never seen 2 people so happy to see it rain :) I foresee a big future for you both

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers Andrew. Thanks for watching (and commenting)

[@TheCowpoop]

This was an awesome video. The details are always great.

[@niccat7051]

Excellent storm strategy!! Looking forward to watching you ride out any blows that may arrive! Whilst you enjoy that crab 😳👍

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks NICCAT. We got out before any storm arrived there but the season still has a few months to go. We are in Thursday Island now at the top of Queensland and will go check another refuge here. We don't take chances with cyclones!

[@murielgriep7151]

My husband n i looked at sail boat's. It was fun.i was told so expensive by my good neighbor in big Bear. They lived on there Boat 4. A yr!

[@48William]

Learn something every time. Thanks

[@6226superhurricane]

another great video, happy australia day for tomorrow.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Too right mate! We're off to the pool at Thursday Island to take part in the celebrations.

[@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805]

So sad to see those boats wrecked . Great fun in the rain....one thing i remember well from crossing the tropics.....everyone rushing on deck to get a wash in the rain.

[@tremainedoering3518]

Another good show. Thanks very much.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you.

[@resarfw]

Once again, well done. Thoroughly enjoyable episode. I'm planning my own voyage and hope I get to the opportunity to meet even a few people that approach their adventure as you do. Matthew's comments below sums up my own thoughts on your channel very well.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Care to share a brief outline of your planned route? We may cross paths one day.

[@resarfw]

I live in Japan and can only say at this point that I'm hoping to head south. :-)

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We would love to sail to Japan and have discussed it often. We will keep you in mind if we get closer to that reality. If you head south to Australia, keep tabs on is and perhaps we will meet up and go for a fish or get a beer. Take care.

[@bondvagabond42]

It's true! They aren't waterproof. I can't believe it either. The other thing is if you are buying one in person, pick up several and shake them. Some will rattle, from loose beads of solder inside. As you can imagine, those can short things out inside. So pick a non rattler.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Another beaut video,thanks for that.😊 Pascale,you really look pleased with all that luxurious rain water to pour over yourself in the tender,and some to top up your supplies 😊 Mangrove lined creeks seem to be a good safe haven when storms are hanging around.I guess I have to wait for another episode to see if you needed to use them,or Facebook maybe,see you next time⛵️😊

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers Wayne - I was very VERY excited about a rain water shower and filling up those tanks. That's what I love about the cruising life it makes you appreciate the simple things. P :)

[@davebrown7321]

another great episode Your channel is by far my favorite!

[@BernieYohan]

Great stuff. Thanks your take on cruising is educational.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You're welcome Bernie

[@angelolivas9524]

Learning with every episode. Have a great voyage...

[@flipgerber]

lovely couple, doing what they love

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Flip, we do love this simple life.

[@venskin]

also love the music, you've got me like one of your mackerel - well n truly hooked!

[@steviefordranger198]

Another fabulous episode Troy and Pascale. I loved the editing as the music always suits the sombreness or drama of the scene. I’m surprised, Troy, you didn’t have a half kg of Xanthorrhoea resin lying around in the cabin just in case you needed to stick a barbed head onto a stick of bamboo! Nice muddy by the way. Your joy at feeling the rain made me smile and Pascale your improvised bath was a great idea. Can’t wait for the next episode of your epic adventure. SFR.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers mate. In that area spinifex resin may have been easier to get hold of but not as easy as epoxy! That spear has since got a few squid and some garfish for bait. Very versatile addition to the boat. I have since made a bigger heavier one for hunting the flats. Stay tuned.

[@wadeholden]

Great video as ususl..... made me smile to see you playing in the rain 😆

[@earlashton1342]

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@wildtimbrown]

Playing in the rain! I haven't smiled so large since I can't remember when. :-) :-) :-) And I am glad to see that you take "tropical weather" seriously. I was in my 1st hurricane at about 6 months old and well, I can't even guess what number 'Irma" was last year. I've never had a sailboat to worry about though. I have seen them in the aftermath both here in Florida and in Hawaii and its always very sad. Stay safe!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Tim. Cyclone season is safely over our heads now so we can breathe easy for another 6 months. Where did you grow up!?

[@skipperandy8081]

Ahoy you great two kids, love your videos. You both are such a great, cute couple. Your calm demeanor, your outdoor and sailing skills are fabulous. As both an outdoors man and sailor, I truly enjoy your videos. And yes, every man has to have a spear, and a knife. I'm sure you have one two. Would love to travel the outback waters with you and learn about the beauty and unique nature you two call home. Fair winds my friends,...wishing you the best,....Skipper Andy.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Skipper Andy and yes we do have a couple knives laying about. I favour Mora Kniv 'Bushcraft" for my carbon steel bush knife and the Bahco S/S carpenters knife for saltwater use. Both really great knives and inexpensive. When we are in remote areas (most of the time) I also make sure I pack my Malay Parang. It is village made from a British Leyland truck spring and about the best survival knife you could ask for in the tropics and if I had nothing else, I would want that.

[@skarthi52]

Just came across your channel. Great video guys. Fair winds, from a Brit living in Brazil.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Welcome aboard Chris, nice to hear from you.

[@AaronIsaak47]

Fantastic work you two 👍

[@traceymarshall5111]

Hey Guy's another great vlog. Love watching your travels of our great land. Have binged watched every episode. I live in Kangaroo Flat! Victoria but have spent 3 years in the Pilbra when our kids were younger. I see in a few episodes that you have worn a Decmil shirt. My husband worked for Decmil in W.A. FIFO for 6 years. Keep up the great, informative Vlogs...

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Tracey. Theres a lot of spectacular wilderness to explore and some great people to meet along the way. I have yet to visit Vic. but we are on the way. That shirt was given to me by a friend but I've done my share of FIFO as a rigger on a gas plant. Good money but I like this (unpaid at the moment) job a bit better. Take care and keep enjoying our shows.

[@buynsell365]

Great job guys !!! Looks like a lot of fun.

[@dbentley2195]

Love you guys videos.

[@thehumanexperiment4193]

Awesome videos guys. As a Aussie now living state side I wish I had sailed around the top end when living in Cairns. I guess it will have to wait until we sail back to the south pacific for now the Bahamas will have to do. Great work keep them coming.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

It will still be there for you Macca. We'll be on the GBR soon so stay tuned. PS. Cairns was my home for 15 years- beautiful place.

[@charliefenn-smith3176]

Great video production, great story telling, great adventure. Maybe you can do a video about the boat, unless I missed it. Nice!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Charlie. One is on the way but we are just putting the finishing touches on two other informational segments then we will tackle it. Stay tuned, it's coming.

[@geneberry7114]

I have started at the first video and been working my way forward, it was kind of a shock to see you in a town : )

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Kind of a shock for us too.

[@sotobfree7163]

In one word.....AWESOME!

[@MikeSmith-yn3kc]

Inspirational and logical. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@FreeRangeLiving]

It's easier to concentrate on having a few laughs when you have the safety of your ship (and world's best girlfriend) sorted in advance.

[@MikeSmith-yn3kc]

You both have a inherent passion about the footsteps of the past combined with a very "Aussie. +1 Pasqual. " attitude. Every episode has had info, cooking, history, topography and education seamlessly intertwined.. an absolute credit to you both. Australia Day tomorrow. I thank you for bringing it all together in such a positive way👍🙂

[@almath9987]

Hi just come across your channel loving it, I keep my boat in the firth of clyde in scotland i also travelled all the way round and through the center of Australia back in 2001/2 Kimberleys area is awesome

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Sounds like you're our type of adventurer with some nice distilleries on your doorstop to boot!

[@almath9987]

Free Range Sailing thanks did like to travel when i was younger unfortunately got into the 9 to 5++ as we had children. Still have plans to get back to the nomad living.

[@ramabamaboomboom]

Pastel has such a wide range of culinary knowledge. Are you trained as a Chef? I agree every man should have a spear. You carry it well - but doesn't carrying the spear require a guteriol GRUNT every once in a while followed by Pascale being tossed over your shoulder kicking and screaming? Loved the joy witnessed as Pascale played in the rain!! Beautiful. Brought a big smile. Such a glow and positive vibes from you two. Lifting my soul! Thanks for the lift 😁😁

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks ramabamaboomboom! I'm not a chef just a lover of good food. We were so so happy for that rain. Thanks for your comments and kind words. Pascale

[@svstrayfish6630]

Wow great! Im subbed and thanks for the vids of up top. Cheers from brisbane.😀

Another epic from a couple I count among friends .... thank you! Sail well ....

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Well said, thank you Roy!

[@beggarsbanquet3420]

thumbs up guys loving your adventures ;)

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers BB.

[@victorbitter583]

I was not aware of transverse thrust. It explains how the skippers in Cairns maneuver up to the wharf when the tide is ripping through there at the new pens. cheers.

[@vfsurgpa]

I keep learning more and more every time I watch another of your videos, and I have been sailing all my life. You guys are fantastic. If I make it to Australia I am definately looking you up. I feel like I need to go out and find a straight bamboo and whip up a spear or two. I wonder if some Chesapeake Bay rockfish would hold still for a minute or two, give me a fighting chance. Simrad TP 10 on Amazon is $385 US, in the US. I am not sure what the US to Aus exchange rate is but 1500 seems excessive. I watched your other video where you showed using the tiller pilot to control your windvane. Is that a modification that could be made to most windvanes?

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Australia is very expensive on a lot of imported products. That principle can be used on any wind vane that uses a servo pendulum ( most) to provide the steering power with a air-foil that is pushed side to side.

[@PhillX9]

Your the best KZbin sailors! Hope when your done with Aus, you will go further abroad.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We plan to Phillip. Some of our viewers have asked if we will start a Patreon account which we will do later. If it works out, we can be free to sail to places where there is no employment for us, or where if we took work it might deprive local families of an income. We already have a route planned which will take us faaaar off the usual sailing track and into some interesting cultures. We'll see what happens.

[@TrailerYacht]

Now T H I S sounds interesting guys . . . Our long term plans include heading to Mooloolaba yacht club & basically heading east through the thousands of islands & atolls between Australia and South America. Talk about unexplored ! (Keeping well clear of Mururoa - imagine the crays there!)

[@horstkotte6114]

Great as always! I had a TP 10 apart last year, I'd say it's waterproof. Certainly not made for submerging, hosing down with a pressure washer, ... though. Just sillicone seals & rubber grommets. Mine seemed to be broken but it turned out the power cable from the battery to the outlet was made out of five pieces of wire by the previous owner. Corrosion did it's thing and every time the tiller pilot did heavy steering (drawing a good amount of current) the voltage dropped and the tiller pilot restarted into the "off" position. Needed some time to figure that one out...

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you for that Horst- not just for us but any other viewer that may benefit by your explanation. That voltage drop is a real killer and can lead to some goose chases. When I first laid hands on Mirrool, I had to pull out quite a bit of wiring that was daisy chained as you describe, not marine cable or was solid housing flex! Also, in my ship engineer days, I would go through the distribution board every three months and tighten all the connections with a 1000V safe screw-driver as a preventative measure.

[@Castathon]

You guys are great!!

[@billroberts3864]

Pascale, you were like a little kid when you were in the dingy rinsing off in the rain water.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We were just so excited to get that rain! Simple pleasures Bill. Cheers
