Our FIRST Passage - from Norway to Faroe Islands!

[@AlluringArctic]

Thanks for watching and sorry about the audio quality issues during some parts of the video! I did my best trying to fix that

[@Iam-mad]

Don´t worry, it gives an authentic touch, the rumbling engines make the mood adventureous!

[@adamfrey6166]

Yeah I agree...it makes it real

[@HiroNguy]

I've heard far worse. I agree that the sounds add to the experience and you're speech is still plenty clearly enough annunciated to understand. I'm thinking your natural voice is on the pleasantly strong side of volume.

[@777rogerf]

Not a problems. The high-definition video is superb, leaving one wishing for more local scenery and looking forward to viewing more episodes. Thank you..

[@JamesHolben]

you should try Dramamine for sea sickness...it works well with few side effects.

So many channels are full of hype and artificial polish. I've been toying around with doing a video series on wilderness travel, cold weather survival - that sort of thing. I have a lot that I'd like to share after 50+ years of knocking around in the great outdoors, and your low-key but very informative presentation gives me an excellent example that you don't have to be slick to succeed. One other thing. As a veteran sea kayaker, I have a deep appreciation for those of you who venture out on the last great wilderness on the planet. Fair winds and five stars for a job well done.

I get vertigo from Meniere's syndrome. What works for me is Ginger. Ginger cookies work but do have sugar. So I just swallow ground ginger powder with anything, Almond Milk, Tea. It prevents vertigo.

By far the best channel on KZbin. Watch all videos from the beginning and I am thoroughly in awe of all of your skill sets.

[@chadstinson9886]

I don't know why but I really like that boat.

[@Paulmcsail]

Liquid ginger added to water before you start sailing stops the crew getting seasick. sipping it as you go on the voyage. i used to give out medication as the medic on board but they still got sick, did not remember feeling unwell and became useless anyway. Few drop added to water and your good to go. Oh and it will taste the same going down as it does coming up if its administered too late.

[@darenfrancis3057]

Great episode...

[@greatpix]

Supposedly putting one ear plug in, not both, can help with seasickness. Some say put it in the same side as your dominant hand. Others say it doesn't matter, just plug up one ear.

[@peterabild1123]

Great video. Thank you

[@AlluringArctic]

[@jwrn4u]

You guys are amazing people and I watched your videos over and over again. Regarding this boat I feel like it’s a motor sailer with a big emphasis on the motor part, and it’s built like a tank.

[@allynonderdonk7577]

Since you have two engines, you should only run one on long passages. Catamarans do it all the time, so I would wager you can too. Think about it! Half the run time on both engines, and half the maintenance and fuel costs. The performance hit is typically half to one knot of speed. Diesels will only give good service at around 2/3 throttle. So if you run two at lower revolutions per minute there may be damage over time.

[@slashsplat]

I was instructed that this is correct when piloting a 55' ChrisCraft decades ago.

[@marinesurveygroupltd7322]

You have to check shaft cooling & gearbox lubrication for the non working engine thou if it's free spinning. Easiest to lock the shaft but increases drag

[@peterives8931]

With a properly cooled engine and a correct thermostat, low RPM operation will actually result in less wear and less fuel consumption for the distance. Engine running too cool at low RPM, yes, this can cause wear and lower fuel efficiency. I run my Perkins 4.236 at 1,500 rpm for days or weeks at about 1.0 GPH. Add more power and the fuel burn is exponential. Yes, I want to see how Arktika does on a single engine. Sailing downwind seems the rudder didn't have very good authority, so lets wait to see about single engine operation.

[@marinesurveygroupltd7322]

You'll have to check with your engine manufacture for long running slow speed. My cat 3116s need a full load burn for 15 mins every 6hrs of slow speed. Running 1500rpm for days on end isn't good for injectors turbo's or carbon build up.

[@petterlamas968]

Truly amazing, looking forward to follow you guys this winter!

Oh boy, it does my heart good to follow you on the water. Years ago I was a single-handed in my Contessa 25 - wonderful sea boat - sailing out of my home town of Plymouth Devon UK, and now, how I miss the sea ; but I can smell it and move with you now. Fair winds and stay safe.my friend..

[@AlluringArctic]

thank you Mo and I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

[@gerrywhite4933]

Just started watching you, on our fourth episode now that you and Shovi are on route to Iceland. I am a retired Navy Commander, my wife and I have an Australian built 32 ft Swanson sailboat. I am trying to understand your love for sailing around in such cold weather and harsh conditions. Might I recommend a little detour to the Bahamas 😁.. I have to put you on pause now that both of your engines have failed. It is New Year's Eve here in Nova Scotia on Canada's Atlantic Coast. We have to go make our New year's Eve pizza. I know you are going to get here engines running again. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both 👍

[@billhadden7219]

Beautiful scenery.When working on the ship just strap the camera in a corner and work. Just enplane what your doing and save for later days. Good luck.

In Norway they don't say "Do you want to come and see my puppies" the say "Do you want and come to see my boat"

[@Piggeliggel]

As someone who gets seasick before I even step on a boat Scopoderm is a lifesaver ^ Tried all kinds of medicine and witchcraft but that one really did the trick. Which is ironic as I'm a fisherman who works at sea 4-5 months a year. Side effects can change time to time. Mostly dry mouth but I'm pretty sure i've experienced minor hallucinations/confused perspectives as your pupils kinda go nuts when you use it for weeks

[@kendonahue2080]

Very happy to get news of your crossing! Share your joy in a successful docking 🤞😊. Many more to come.

[@idahosagebrush5662]

I had watched one of your videos a year or more ago when you sailed somewhere to climb a mountain and ski down it. When I saw you got the new boat I checked it out and watched the episodes up to this one. Good story and well done. (You didn't make a whole video about cleaning up the fuel spill!!! So refreshing...😎) From what I saw of Greenland from 40,000 feet looked so awesome and so very uninviting to me, but so beautiful. Subscribed and will stick around to see how it goes in Greenland for you.

[@greatpix]

I don't know if this would help with seasickness but try a nasal decongestant, either pill or nasal spray. Another system to try is nasal irrigation with saline solution, or distilled water and a ph balanced salt compound from someone like Neilmed. The idea is to keep breathing passages free, which can sometimes affect middle ear.

[@mogliilgom5055]

You've got a great boat for where you are heading. I wish you the best

[@desemgroup]

Thanks for letting us follow the adventure. Stay safe

[@captainwin6333]

[@roncanizares9966]

To prevent seasickness: Stugeron 15mg tablets. No seasickness, no side affects. They are the offshore sailors best friend.

[@hendryyyutube]

100 % agree. i sometimes see on other channels, requests for suggestions to cure or lessen seasickness, and for me, no boat should ever put to sea, even if the usual crew never or seldom gets seasick, without stugeron in the medicine cabinet! life saving stuff, and great to see Ron, you suggesting it.

[@ops7750]

Ther is one side effect: about 10% experience sleepiness.

[@sandy-quimsrus]

I like the wristbands that have the button on the inside that pushes on the pressure point. Used them when pregnant and for sea sickness.

[@TT-tn1dp]

Seabands have helped me!

[@dssque1]

I second that. Also they can be sucked or chewed to speed up the onset of their effect. This should mean that they don't need to be used until the sailor feels the onset of sickness. Apparently ginger, as a treatment for seasickness, led to the development of marmalade but I'll let someone else tell that story :-)

[@xianstuff2910]

Congrats on completing your first open ocean passage in the new boat. We look forward to seeing what you do there.

Sometimes a whole scopolamine patch is too much and we cut them in half or even less and they are still somewhat effective without being so sleepy.

[@francesjanelongley2002]

About the patch, cut it into four pieshaped pieces. Use one piece, if you need more add another piece. Have used Scopolamine for 30 years.
