SECLUSION. Living on a 30 Foot Boat off Australia's Western Most Island - Free Range Sailing Ep 202

[@ian-c.01]

Sitting here in my room in Britain between storms having stocked up with food for the weekend so I don't have to go out again and after fixing the heating boiler that stopped working this morning even though I don't know how we will pay for the fuel we are burning to stay warm, this video is like looking at life on a different planet ! Good luck to you guys living the dream on the other side of the world and sharing the sunshine and perfect harmony through your videos ! You have no idea what these videos mean to some people !

[@FishingwithCristina]

I just messaged LG, to see if they could see your video. I think it's a great idea for them to use it as a commercial. And help you out if the phone is damaged.

[@donnakawana]

I was happy I woke up to find this beautiful slice of life in Australia!! Guys this is like watching a documentary everytime you post!!! Thanks for sharing your lives with us!! Pascal amazing how your phone worked... Positive outlooks make for positive fun!! Fare winds an following sea's guy's ✌🏼💗😊❣️

[@JoChadwick]

Thanks Pascale and Troy!! I love your 'cruisy' (pun unintended) video vibes of you cruising on the WA seas, and today's video vibe was no exception! Really beautiful area in Shark Bay. I can't get there yet, being stuck in VIc!!! Hope your phone continued to survive and charge up, Pascale, and well done for retrieving it so quickly. Always look forward to your videos :)

I was hoping you both would go exploring the Kimberley coast like the last time; the cave (paintings).

[@garyfroeschner2523]

good stuff

[@AndreasEUR]

9:50 I think a lot of phones these days are waterproof down to X meters... For example my phone; The Huawei P30 Pro is actually able to withstand damage in up to 2 metres of water for 30 minutes.

[@oceanictranquility7782]

Two short comments Paski and Troy. 1. You really do bring Australia to life. The Jocks and Fish comments gave me a good laugh as I sit out Storm Eunice's 80 mph winds. 2. Since you are inviting viewers to help by joining Patron, does this mean you will be going for a new boat and more adventures? Hope so, My best, David

[@AndreasEUR]

The LG G6 is rated IP68, using the Ingress Protection rating system. Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. ... Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 meter for more than 30 minutes.

Greetings from Germany! Currently, a storm with 150 km/h+ is expected to arrive tomorrow night. I don't want to imagine being on a small boat when that storm hits.

Eek! Good luck and hope you suffer no damage.

I dip my iPhone in the rock pools as we are look at the fish in the pools . But I never put it in fresh water and just put it in front of the vent of the aircon and it’s been over a year now and still going strong 😂😂

Dammit! My heart sinks every time you remind us that Marool is for sale. I may have missed the reassurance that you intend to remain part of my cyber family with an upgraded vessel. This is indeed a (dare I say) unique time in history when I can be so attached to fellow humans half a world apart with such deep affection. We voyage in a 32-year-old 21' Toyota RV.

I have the LG G6 as well, got it when they were first released...almost 4 years now. I recently dropped it and have a small crack in the screen, but it has been a very good phone. I never tested it's waterproof rating! (IP68 by the way, good for 1.5 meters up to 30 minutes immersion)

Loving the cinematography ! You guys show the beauty and realism of the places you go and how you get there, The latest drone footage was really nice. Also my Austral 30 is currently in Lake Macquarie which is full of razor clams (and bull sharks periodically) , Might give the clams a miss if they are not so good, rather have the flatties and tailor without being potential sharkbait (water gets a bit murky) , if you don't mind can you let me know the brand of the drone (I may have missed it in your vids), All the best from Gazza, btw I have a hawkins futura pressure cooker, they rock!

Well done on the phone retrieval! I lost a kyocera waterproof phone in 15' over soft silt once and had to find it by braille. I say "had to" because I had a date with a hot yoga instructor and no other way to reach her! Anyway, it exceeded its waterproof rating by several feet and several hours and was with me far longer that said yoga instructor.

Hi thanks for all your work always wonderful work ! You have helped us immensely in our travels around Australia especially with fresh water spots like silver gull that was a life saver. We’re in Carnarvon , we’re quite surprised at the distances in Western Australia and I don’t think viewers of your channel realise how vast distances you’ve travelled in your boat and how resilient you have been in your travels . You’re very good seamen both of you, very experienced and always come up with a decent fish. Tough tough people both of you . Thanks so much for your work sharing . Underpants...it always happen when you’re in underpants..us too!

we used to drift over those reefs and picked up spangled emperor or nor west snapper also good trolling for spanish or shark mackerel - happy days 1980's 1990's - also used to be able to anchor off the beach at monkey mia also avoid elephant shoals with tide and wind - gets bloody dangerous when inshore

[@colinmorley6983]

Thank you Pascale and Troy. I have watched most of your videos from the beginning because you produce high quality ones, you sail a modest boat and live a simple life with wonderful cooking. Troy is one of the best at teaching servicing, repair and building a small boat. He has such extensive experience. I can’t wait for the next video.

[@beazleteats4031]

Hi there from a wet and humid Sydney. I googled your phone: " The G6 is the company's first dust- and water-resistant flagship. It's rated IP68, which means you can dunk it in up to a meter of water (about 3 feet) for up to 30 minutes." So yes it is water resistant!!! Lucky you.

[@jasonstork9606]

Pascy I did the same with my old iPhone. I did some reading and they have IP67 protection giving water resistance at 1metre depth for 30 minutes. The phone has been fine for months. I would certainly download the data but you never know, it might be OK. Best of luck.

Of course they don't make LG phones anymore. figures.

Hot tip for Razer clam, or razer fish as we call them here. There soft guts is a miraculous bait. The only bit that isnt good as bait is the black gritty part. So eat the heart musle and use the guts as bait. Furthermore, if you cut the duct mussle, so the shells open just a little bit. But dont pull them apart, so they're just a little bit open. Then poke your knife in and mash up the guts a little. Then through it into the water as a natural burleypot. Fish right ontop of the razer clam and you'll do famously Razer clams are a gift to fisherman from the universe!!! epic to eat, epic as bait, and natures burly pot

[@percival3830]

What a relaxing vid that was; lazing around wing-on-wing, a drowned phone coming back to life with next to no effort, huge mussels steaming away in the pot, and himself in his jocks casting a line over the side. Just a peachy day. This is what we are here for, not the rat race and the struggle. More power to you.

[@adrianbento2186]

My iPhone stopped working after I rode out a quick squall on deck with it in the pocket of my waterproof top. I put it in rice, in the sun, on top of the heater, all to no avail. Nine months later, on the off-chance I pressed the power button, and it came back to life, as if nothing had ever happened.

Dropped my phone in the bildge once. Rinsed it, dried it, worked. A month later it died. Took it to a service, they showed me the phone innards, it was just a green lump of oxidized circuit board. I though ok, right. The guy said it's always worth chucking it in the ultrasound cleaner, and so they did. An hour later the phone was clean, working, and served me at least two further years. So always stay positive!

Did you put the phone in rice? Great episode as always!

LG originally stood for Lucky Goldstar. Now we know why. Fun fact: the white bit of bird "poop" is actually pee, hence the ammoniacal smell. Birds need to conserve water so their "pee" has little water.
