Stu, your loving patience with your chickens is both amusing and touching.

They are slowly getting the hang of it now!

Daisy: “Nah, not me I want NO part of this!” Daffy:”Hmmph! Who you calling’ a Peg-Leg?” DangarStu:”🙄”KIDS!!!” 🙄🤣😁👍

Stu, where are you? We miss you in Holland

[@rogerbayzand4455]

A great program this week, nothing more rewarding than recovering sunken boats.

[@markstevens1729]

Sitting in Canada, last month of winter, watching you work through a mid-summer rain shower was refreshing.

[@DangarMarine]

Glad you enjoyed it Mark.

[@AlisonFort]

Cheered when Daisy and Daffy managed to use the feeder😀

[@estruble]

You'll also like the savings in chicken feed. I didn't realize how much the rate got until I started feeding my chickens with a automatic feeder.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, it's a lot of lugging of bags of seed up the hill just to feed the rats.

[@petebrooks6539]

I half expected Daffy to step off and fling Daisy over backward! 🤣

[@colinfirst1689]

nice to see Adrian again

[@flick22601]

Always a pleasure to see Adrian. I think if I watch long enough I'll learn how to speak Ausie.

Well that was fun! So much happening around Danger Island. Thanks Stu and thanks to Carl for the drone footage!

[@DangarMarine]

Glad you enjoyed. :)

Great to see Adrian again... time for his own channel!

Definitely adrian amazingly looks at the world as nuts n bolts , hes like the roof comes off yeah mate the detachable panel its obvious

Like to see/hear the twin buzzin dozen Detroits Adrian will be working on and the vessel the're in. Nice job on the salvage.

[@DangarMarine]

They did sound pretty good fired up. :)

[@jons6125]

The twin 225 Hondas on the barge must pack a punch too but wont sound as good

[@hotttt28]

great to see an old lady saved !

[@DangarMarine]

Steve has done an amazing job with that ferry. Lots of great photos from the rescue on his page.

[@1425race]

Nice to see you and Renko finally doing some jobs you always planned to do Stu and good to see Adrian again too. Youse fellas make a great team.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, it is great to be using the boat for the job it was built for.

[@pmiller7886]

Adrian is just a great guy, glad to see him back on the channel Stu!

Me too. :)

Thanks mate!

The chicken feeding at the end is a good laugh. It's tough teaching old birds new tricks. :D

[@KowboyUSA]

Got troubles? No problem for the Dangar Marine Danger Crew!

[@justtinkering6054]

Awesome to see Renko on a real salvage operation! It's been a long time coming. Your hard work is paying off. Good to see Adrian out on the water again.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. It was quite a joy to be able to use the boat to help out. If I buy a couple of lift bags I reckon we could get a small boat like that into the shallows without using a crane.

[@kevgermany]

Renko starting to earn her keep. Watching you put that shackle on in the murk made me think how different this recovery diving is from the pretty 'look at these nice fish' dives we see more often. And my mind went sideways. One channel I follow is Matt's off road recovery. So now we have Stu's underwater recovery. Great episode. Good to see Adrian again.

[@eleutriogonzalez6865]

Eddie Gonzalez here from the US. I'm been working on boats for 30yrs and I've known tons of marine mechanics and you sir are by far one of the best! I been watching your channel for years now and when I have a question I tune in! Thank you for all the hard work keep them coming:)

[@bloodyeyeful]

Thank you Stu. Good work on the salvage. Nice to see Adrian. Your chickens are smarter than my brother.

[@glennfryer1539]

Hey .. like you said a fun day .. nice to see Adrian kicking around...and doing a bit of salvage, love that type of work, brings back memories, as a CE on a diving support vessel..great fun .. from up here 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@fifocrew3040]

Thanks Stu Great idea It would be great to see a bit more of Steve's boat every now and then. Cheers

[@DangarMarine]

Absolutely!

Another fun video from....Down under...Thanks mate....Your friend in Kentucky horse country....l had an uncle who was the most famous jockey who ever lived....Willie Shoemaker...l was a F-4 fighter pilot back in the late 1060's & 1970's....

[@brucethecurmudgeon8538]

Awesome video! I love chickens, they can learn. I taught mine to stay within their 100 X100 foot pen and not fly out. I had to trim flight feathers on them once, then they learned they were safe in the pen and coop. I throw them veggie scraps, fruit and have feed in the coop if they want it. Water is always available as it is shocking how much water they drink on hot dry summer days.

[@theteadrinker-143]

Good one Stu , enjoyed the dive , bought back memories

[@robertsimpson1824]

We need to see more of Adrain and stay safe

[@wallyfirkins1664]

Stu, your VLOG has become my favorite. Especially with all of the varied activity and Adrian as well. Great Video. Daffy and Daisy as well.

[@DangarMarine]

Wow, thank you. :)

[@paulgallagher9734]

I remember this ferry (in the 1960s) as "Produce' when she was part of the Nicholson Bros fleet operating out of no.6 Jetty at Circular Quay. Nicholsons were later taken over by Stannard Bros. which is why there is a photo of her with "N" on the funnel on Steve's website.

[@Dan_C604]

Fantastic episode, happy to see Adrian too and that little cute salvaged boat. Cheers!

[@DangarMarine]

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@ukrainewarroom]

Love that dark grey house with all the windows behind the jetty, what a place to live.

[@MeaHeaR]

What a great team of guys to support ya Stu makes all the difference I'd imagine. Great to see Adrian out on the water seeing what it's all about and welcome to Carl

[@CrimeVid]

Old wooden boats will weep ! I love that heavy timber.

[@freyja4954]

As a fellow's certified diver I was waiting to see if Stew put some air in his BCU before he jumped in. it's always a shock when you forget. Adrian just keeps proving himself to be an upstanding bloke With a library full of information In his head over and over again.

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Stu - what a treat coming along on your day. The dive video was fine. Looking forward to more.

[@graham2631]

The discussion on original power before the Detroit was interesting to me. One of the first boats l worked on had a 6 cylinder Atlas Imperial 350hp at 350rpm air start direct reversing 27ton beauty. Its been 40+ years so my memory of specs might be off. I can still remember the sound in the engine room.

[@haroldtuttle3766]

Great to see how everyone helps each other! Beautiful old wooden boat!

[@desolatemetro]

Yup, looks like a Yngling to me. I thought it was a Soling at first, parts of the boat are extremely similar. I worked at a sailing club that had a ton of Solings when I was a teenager and we definitely had a few sink and the subsequent recovery operations by the boss. Never any foam or watertight bulkheads to keep them afloat if they got badly swamped. We actually had one get knocked down in a freak squall during a sailing lesson. It got swamped and sank and the instructor and students had to swim to the nearest island! Students were...a bit freaked out. Boss would usually recover them by taking deflated orange mooring balls down and inflating them with a spare scuba tank to refloat the boat. Good stuff! Definitely enjoy watching you dive to recover a sunken boat!

[@jacoblasker7227]

Oh my god. I haven't been here for a number of years left when you had 40 000 subs and am so happy for you to see you doing so well. You thoroughly deserve it.

[@DangarMarine]

Thank you so much and welcome back! :)

[@murt772]

My first time on the Hawksbury, rented a houseboat the last few days and sure enough saw Renko twice and got a wave from Stu. :) what a beautiful island Dangar is, somehow the vids don’t quite capture it. Anyway, I’ve decided the gods want me to be a patreon supporter Stu, so thanks for the vids and what a lucky bloke you are to live in such an interesting and beautiful place!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. Glad to hear you got to get out on the river. Nice to see you sailing past and thanks for your support!

[@SeanSmith-bg7jo]

Looking forward to the future update

[@rtaardvark8086]

Stu, do you folks ever need to worry about Bull sharks wondering up the river? D-Squad is a "clucking" hoot and always glad you include them. Was surprised to see a video today, Monday is usually my Dangar and Brupeg days :) Stay safe and keep them coming!

Thanks Stu,nice mixture today,thanks and take care

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks, you too!

[@chrisbartrum3201]

Just love the nitty gritty episodes. Thanks Stu. PS. Hate that feeder although I can see why.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Chris. It's probably because it seems less personal of a factory type thing, but it is good that the rats can't eat their food like they could with the old one.

[@guygfm4243]

Thanks for sharing good to see you using Renco for diving

[@terrynorton3182]

Those drone shots gave a whole new dimension. Great video, as usual.

Great video again Stu. Good to see Adrian again but d squad stars of the show again! Take care, keep em coming 😁

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks, will do!

[@sewing1243]

If the sunken sailboat was a Yingling then there is most likely a lift point attached to the keel and at the normal center of gravity designed to facilitate lifting the boat in and out of the water on to a trailer.

[@Stoic-of-Rome]

Found myself tutt tutting seeing the young crewman, (and others) wearing massive boots and jeans but no lifejacket. Maybe get him to try his luck wearing that gear in the local pool to show him how bad a choice that is. First thing me and my mates were made to do on day 1 of our sailing training " you lot go into the water, wearing whatever fashion victim attire you've elected to wear to my training school." Nearly had me and many of my mates at the bottom of the Thames within a few minutes. Coughed and spluttered our way through the swim test (all strong swimmers) I've never worn jeans on the water again, ....let alone boots. Working on the water I now feel as naked without a life jacket as I do getting in a car without a seat belt.

[@edmundholmes7559]

My own 1930s wooden fishing boat sank a few weeks ago; luckily I was alerted by the remote bilge alarm, and was able to get it towed to shallow water before it went down on the mooring. One of the planks had opened up (rotten copper nails) and the bilge pump burned out trying to cope with the leakage. The diesel engine went underwater at the next high tide before the boatyard could crane it out, but the boat is now safely on the quayside awaiting inspection.

[@tyroneshulace3203]

@@DangarMarine Plz fwd to Steve... Ferryman... Just an idea I am contemplating. To replace a Detroit 671 in a 110 year old 70' Schooner. I sourced the set up from a Nissan Leaf car. The electric motor makes 147 hp. ( I need 2) But I can collect (approx 5-7) Lithium battery packs from Leaf cars & use them the charger & the inverter. Each complete Leaf battery pack will drive a Leaf motor approximately 3 hours. The motor spins with 10,000 rpm but if you use the transmission axle drive it is 1350 rpm. Perfecttt.

Steve should do a separate channel on the ferry project. He will get much more support that way and it would be awesome to see that boat come back to live again. I am sure Adrian can star in it restoring or putting a new Detroit in that boat.

[@DangarMarine]

He has done loads and loads of filming, he now just needs to sit down and edit it all up. There is a short KZbin video on his GoFundMe page on the refloating but a lot has happened since then.

here's a couple of tips for you, on silty bottom dont wear fins just pull yourself along, and wear head torches one on either side leaves your hands free to work.

[@TheNockingPoint]

Flipper Gilligan’s Island Voyage to the bottom of the sea. The undersea World of Jacques Couteau. McHale's Navy OK, also Johnny Quest. Are some of the shows that shaped my childhood Now I have Dangar Stu to watch!

[@DangarMarine]

Great shows to grow up with!

[@chuxmix65]

Jacques Cousteau!!! The others are fiction, but awesome. Loved them all! Adventure documentaries before Bear Gryllis! The "set" for Flipper, near Miami on Virginia Key became a hippie hangout and a Playboy photo shoot location.

[@TheNockingPoint]

​ the main point is I loved the water and fishing. The funny thing is I have not had an engine boat until the last 3 years. (A little tinny) The intervening time I spent squandering my time with white water kayaking, canoeing, and rafting. With a little land time shooting archery with my son. :-) If I end up with a boat that has a piolet house...... it's all Stu's fault! maybe a little pocket cruiser with a small Yanmar. ;-)

[@sailingjiggers9083]

Can you do a video on how you became a marine engineer and what steps you did to help you get there. Im really looking to be one but not 100% sure what i really need and what's best to think about. Cheers

Is there anything Adrian can’t do? If you are with Adrian Saturday, I hope you video you guys in action. The big A a.k.a. Adrian makes for great content.
