Your depiction of a day in the life on this exotic and insanely remote deserted Polynesian island in Episode 154 is truly mesmerizing. Your exploration and storytelling capture the essence of untouched beauty and adventure. Here's to more awe-inspiring journeys. And I am Floating Village Life.

Here's a tiki drink perfect for supreme sun-downers, The Painkillada: 2.5 oz navy strength rum (Hamilton, Pussers, or whatever you have) 3 oz pineapple juice 1 oz coconut cream 1 oz cinnamon syrup (Easy to make your own via YT search) 1 oz orange juice garnish fresh grated nutmeg garnish dried pineapple ring & pineapple fronds (optional) Shake all (except garnish) with ice. Fill a tiki mug or rocks glass with crushed ice and double strain the drink into the glass. Grate fresh nutmeg generously over the top and optionally garnish with fresh fruit. Cheers and congrats on thawing out.

have you tried that Hydrophobic Marine Wax on the hull ? ....i wonder how much of a difference that would make. EDIT: " Glidecoat Marine Shine & Shield " seems the top rated such Hydrophobic product.....something to try on a dinghy first.....that would be some aching shoulders on SR. the thing is, it could save fuel.

@jpdj27156 ай бұрын
In the past few weeks I have started to watch your videos and went through your history a bit. I'm at 1/3rd overall, I guess. Yes, I was forced to subscribe ;). Your "racy" approach to cruising makes for a very nice backbone to the videos' storylines. Your assessment of risks and mature way of dealing with these make for a feeling of wisdom and seaworthiness - that is not a quality of a sailing boat but rather of its crew! A week in bed with some virus or viri and the time that gave me with you, I now also questions to you. Let's see if they want to come back. (1) You had a fluke with the Autopilot once or a few times. And have been searching for an explanation. And replaced the wind direction and wind speed sensors. Plus some cabling. My perception is that the problem still may occur. I don't know how the communication bus on your boat works. In the 1980s an Ethernet bus connected all devices on the bus in one physical string. This meant shared bandwidth. It also mean that my communication with the server could get upset by you, accidentally starting too. The protocol was made to be abele to handle that, only performance would suffer. This got replaced, over time, by switched networks where each cable between two active components was a bus, but data could hop from bus to bus without many issues, that the protocol could still handle. This architecture broke the single bus into pieces, thus taking complications away. AFAIK, the "computers" in boats have a background more akin to process logic and control, or instrumentation. More a serial connection thing and it is possible that some still use a serial line to implement a "bus" shared by all devices. So if there is no physical switch to isolate communication channels, if there is no electrical shielding on that bus, then a glitch in your wind speed and wind direction sensor might be caused elsewhere, say the "Rudder Feedback Unit" that you should have. After the UFO collision in the Atlantic you had the Unexpected Ffing tack/gybe and salty water may have helixed [1] such a feedback unit up While this hypothesis is an obvious one, given your history, it cannot be the only one in thought experiment to generate hypotheses. [1Q] have you looked into the issue more and arrived at a conclusion? If yes, What is it. (2) SOG. While a sailor wants their version of apparent versus true and boat or wind speed, direction, your passenger (watching your video) may want to know Speed Over Ground and maybe ETA at the next waypoint or anchoring. I noticed in another YT channel that young British folk have no clue any more of the old Imperial units. All serious US industries work in metric, too. Only the US, Liberia and maybe Birma are in the Imperialist camp still - at the population level. My country made that decision in the 1800s. My thumb's width is 1" and my foot's length is 1' and that what I live with - keep me going and standing but other than that are meaningless. Knots - probably an invention from my sailing country - fine. but where are the subtitles for the majority of the world population. You may frequently show one of the B&G displays with your sailors' numbers and I feel that B&G could offer a display that serves the passenger, not the workers. ;) (2Q) Your position on this? It is clear that you have relatively recent ties outside the US, either through a teaching job or through family relations. (3) You mount your camera in a fixed position to the boat. This however takes away from viewers' perception of the rough seas you are in. I get the impression you want to show that. And, yes, I want tot see it. Photographically, it frequently looks as if the water will start to flow out of the sea (with an extreme slant in the horizon that most viewers will not notice). That "OMG the water will run out of the [body of water]" was a favourite tease from one of my photography teachers. (3Q) Have you considered a simple gimbal or DIY cardanic mount that maintains the camera relative to the horizon. Note that a level and plumb camera, especially with a wide angle lens will help to prevent perspective compression of height differences. The corollary is if viewers will appreciate a camera that is fixed to the horizon. It also is the question if the camera's shutter speed (AKA "angle") is fast enough to depict the motion nice enough. [1] a helix is a screw
