The First Ocean Test for Brupeg, how it went - Project Brupeg Ep.382

[@fonhollohan2908]

Your smiles says it all. All that hard laborious work has finally paid off, now we get to see you both begin to fulfill your dreams. That is awesome, I remember when you first bought the boat. You have come a long way, congrats.

[@tobydell66]

You have done a brilliant job, you should also thank dangarStu for spreading the word in the early days, really looking forward to your further adventures

[@dylanwebb9584]

So, Brupeg has spread her wings. Fantastic.

[@mytube001]

After all these years of watching you working on Brupeg on land, it's really nice to finally see the boat in its proper element!

[@jossmaxwell00]

I am so proud that Brupeg has made her maiden voyage with out any incidents and all was well on board. Chuffed to bits for you guys.

[@lydiaajohnson]

You’re two incredible people. Love from the U.S.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Lydia

[@megastormsurfer]

Congratulations to you both and all those that helped with work on the boat👍

[@stephenreese5921]

Duncan is a BOSS! He made the job of tying all or most of Brupeg’s systems working together possible. You’ve impressed this Arizona landlubber immensely. You’ve touched people all over the world and through these videos will be remember long after you and I will be gone and how many of us can say that? Certainly not me.

[@duncancampbell62]

Very kind words indeed, thank you. Perhaps a little over stated, but I’ll take it 🥳😎

[@stephenreese5921]

@ Earned, not overstated!

[@estruble]

An incredible journey… Honored to have witnessed it for the last few years.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Well done you made it happen with help along the way especially from Duncan sorry to see him leave g😊😊

[@matttradie1341]

Very cool to see it after all this time. Id be varying the rpms on the motor regularly tho. Constant rpms for long periods not good for run in stage. Congrats to you both. 😊

[@ShipHappensUK]

Congratulations to both of you, after years of hard work you have done it!! We are so proud of you both 🫶🏻

[@morgananderson9647]

Wow! What a moment! THANKS DUNCAN!!! So happy to see Brupeq advancing and moving towards the next set of adventures! Fair winds, and may the seas be calm at your back! All the best, M-

[@ThePaulv12]

I've got a great way of cooking beans and broccoli. A Korean chef taught me this. It's nothing special just a way that never occurred to me and ridiculously simple. They cook perfectly every single time. It is an industrial kitchen type technique but works at home on normal stoves just as well. 1) Get a saucepan full of water boiling 2) Top and tail the beans, and cut the broccoli into small flowerets (they can't be too big) 3) When the water is fully boiling, dump the beans and broccoli into the water and on a high heat bring the water back to the boil. 4) The instant the water is boiling, drain the beans and broccoli and they're ready. 5) If you have lots then you need a bigger saucepan since the mass of water in a small saucepan isn't enough and the temperature drops too far to come back to the boil quickly. Because the beans and broccoli are hot they keep cooking after you've drained them, so they are never ever raw - the beans have a perfect crunch and the broccoli is not crunchy but perfectly cooked. Remember the broccoli floweret heads need to be about say the same width of your thumb. When you cut the flowerets off a bunch then you need to cut them down the stem a few times to get the smallish size. Not too small otherwise they over cook. You'll work it out. Now here's the thing, when you cook packet noodles you can chuck the beans and broccoli in the noodle water just before the noodles are nearly ready and you get packet noodles with some greens just like you get when you go to a noodle bar. If you want to spec the beans and broccoli up a bit cook some sunflower seeds in some olive oil then pour over the beans and broccoli then splash with some artery hardening full salt soy sauce. Another thing is just a squeeze of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil straight out of the bottle and a grind of black pepper. In the end I just like them on their own. I never ever tire of them that way.

[@simonbartlett5]

I’ve been following you guys for the last six years. It’s so cool to see Brupeg out there, surrounded by water. All power to you.

[@tas32engineering]

Dajeduc great name for a boat. Now you have plenty of spare time for crew & the add-ons. Doesn't that motor purrr no pun intended. Think the cat is in competition " who wants to be captain ". Bowen Mangoes were a favourate. You might be able to crate some north to sell. Paw paws also a favourite.

[@peterware5173]

Haha fellow k1 ha very determined and well executed professionalism with a Surely proud result,enjoy.

[@HoagesMoto]

In the inrerim to the monitoring system, grab a red paint pen and colour in a red dot on the the surfaces for you to point your IR thermometer on when you do rounds :) that way anyone can go measure the exact same spot, rule a paper log down there for maybe the key 5-10 temps and just write them in as you do them every second or 3rd round :)

[@Collideable]

It is awesome to see you guys out on your first proper passage! What a journey it's been! You are all an inspiration! With all the new ports you will all be visiting please try to build the habit of wearing your PFDs when mooring or at the waters edge, if you end up in the drink it's no use on the boat!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Safe travels guys!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks so much.

[@cameronurquhart1515]

I think I just saw an episode on Project Brupeg where NOTHING was built. That's got to be a first. I've watched from the start - never missed an episode and I am really happy for the pair of you. Well done!!!!!!

[@dalevalentine1721]

There is something very satisfying about seeing the stabilizer wings deployed. There were so many episodes about them, and now they are happily slicing through the water. Congrats

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Its my new favourite position sitting in the door way watching the wings slice. Dame

[@kiweekeith]

Congratulations on a Great Trip .... Have to say that the Motor sounds just so Sweet ..... Overall Brupeg has performed Flawlessly ... Wonderful to see .... Thanks for sharing it with US .... Cheers from ChCh, NZ

[@raceace]

Such a fantastic reward for staying the course for so many years. It'd be interesting to see the drag penalty the wings incur on the hull. i.e. a 5mm gurney flap on low level formula car can chop 1500-2000 rpms off the top an engine down some main straights. The stability looks fantastic

[@AM-ni3sz]

Found you guys via Dangar Stew, 4 or 5 years ago. I’m so happy for you. I have contributed a little to your success, but am prepared to give more when needed. Keep your chin up. Congratulations 🎉

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@darrylmcleman6456]

FINE BUSINESS! Great to see those birds out in the wild! Dont have them here in CANADA! CHEERS from HERE!

[@UnPetitPique]

Awesome! Have done that trip from Bundaburg to Gladstone a few times, brings back memories. And sitting here in Vic I'm able to enjoy that sunny weather we know so well, without the humidity haha

[@claywalker6013]

Jess Dame - That last part of the video as you approached Brupeg - I thought what a bloody good looking boat - It is a credit to you both and the amount of work you have put in - The journey has begun and us motley crew will be with you in spirit if not in person. I/we wish you safe travels and calm seas - Best wishes from Clay in the UK.

[@jamescostello6529]

Stone Queen of the voyage, Baby Cat, say thanks humans for the nice calm cruise!

[@AM-ni3sz]

Yes, it appears the engine is working great. Good result.🎉

[@bundyboy65]

Wow Jess & Dame, I hope that sea state follows you all of the way up the QLD coast. That was the perfect boat test and all under the watchful eye of the grand guru, Dr. Duncan. Hopefully you are enjoying a bit of a rest up in the harbour after all of the sleep deprivation of the last few years. Cheers and fair seas. Tony

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Tony

[@McTroyd]

Glad to see the first cruise was uneventful. Congrats on the humongous milestone! 👍

[@oliver9089]

I'd imagine, after all those years of work, you'd think she was a beautiful ride no matter what she felt like 😂 Congratulations on a job well done.

[@bobuncle8704]

Just fantastic. Can’t begin to understand the emotions of leaving Bundaberg for the last time. Here’s to fair winds and following seas.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Well said!

[@angelineroberts8339]

Awesome maiden voyage, our maiden voyage was to Tasmania and the day we left the Gold Coast we ran into 3 storms all at the same time

[@Bullshit1011]

Couldn't have asked for better weather ❤

[@johnmckenzie7705]

Such a big long journey to get your dreams come to fruition cant believe Ive been part of your story fur the last 8 yrs and looking forwards to your adventures to come

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks John

[@markevans7066]

Bloody hell surely you were in tears to finally get out there! Well done. We spent 2 years living on our boat in a yard and that was crazy enough. Even a year later I was enjoying every sound and smell of freedom. Well done. We saw you up on the hard years ago when we sailed through there. It's not easy.

[@guygfm4243]

Well done good run

[@plakeplays6420]

Congrats to both of you. I forget how long Ive actually been watching you guys I believe for over 3 years now I . I am a college student but love beiung on boats I would love to donate stuff to you guys but I am in the USA.

[@chrisevans8455]

At last, all at sea. Heartiest congrats. See ya soon Uncle Dunc.

[@clydedecker765]

You speak of that board going from prototype to final. Who is going to build that one for you? How long will it be? I know the Tachometer is not critical with one on the engine but ... Great first cruise. I'm sure you enjoyed the coral mating season... The smell of their prowess ...

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Duncan has designed and had printed the new boards. Not sure who he went with in the end but I do know he was pretty thorough in his vetting process

[@cliffjamerson3107]

Once again congratulations

[@darrylgardner2680]

Amazing shakedown run, the engine ran like a champion. Well done, guys, onward and upward....Cheers

[@justinspiderholden]

I'm so so stoked for you guys !!!! So epic to see you cruising up the coast I hope the boat has a good stereo for good tunes on the journeys

[@ProjectBrupeg]

It’s definitely on the list of installs needed

[@michaeldefries3583]

how amazing. I wish I could double, triple like this

[@davidbrunkow64]

It's lovely to see you all plus the boat in action on this first ocean voyage! Couldn't have been much better. Well done!

[@gordonagent7037]

Great shake down trip guys. Duncan, have a safe trip home mate and thank you again for your massive support to this project. Gods speed my friend. Jess and Damo enjoy your time in Gladstone

[@BillyBob38846]

Great job guy's, the first trip on Brupeg went fantastic! Have a great week and I'll see you on your next video. 👍

[@rickswanberg4995]

Congrats on you first passage! One suggestion, put a chain or rail across the opening where the wing strut track is. Looks like a great place to fall overboard if the boat takes a roll or you trip on the coming of the hatch.

[@makeitwork583]

I like the part where you realize your dreams. Be well.

[@scottloeffler6086]

I have been following you from the start and I am very happy for you both! I am also very proud of your accomplishment, you both have stuck to your plan and it worked! Congratulations! Job well done! :) Scott

[@davidjamieson9313]

Fantastic guys im so happy to apart of your journey

[@MichaelCuthbertson-zl6in]

Wonderful to see you guys on your way! What an achievement! You are LEGENDS!! ❤❤

[@guilhermew202]

Congrats guys

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Wow! Even sitting here in Boston. I feel like I'm there with all of you. Congrats to a successful voyage. Thanks again for having me aboard ;)

[@ProjectBrupeg]

We love that we can share this with you

[@paulcostello9316]

Thank you so much! I very much look forward to every episode . Well done! Can't wait until you visit NZ!

[@retojenal304]

Congratulations on reaching this major milestone after so much hard work! Now let the travel adventures begin! Best wishes for this next chapter!

[@mwhelan53]

Hope it's not too far to the fish and chip shop and makes refuelling much easier.

[@robbiecryer]

You guys are amazing Thank's for sharing

[@Mr45shooter]

i have just watched a dream come true. Happy for you.

[@GeneralSpades]

so happy for you guys im going to watch 😀it again lol

[@rolandtb3]

New chapters are being written, for real.

[@randys1889]

Brilliant!!! Cheers from Southern California USA 🇺🇸 ❤

[@mikeskelly2356]

My cats were aggressive eaters and would push their food and water dishes out into the middle of the room, making 'landmines' for night travel. So I put some of those silicone jar opener discs under the bowls and they kept them in place. They would probably work to keep your cat's dishes from sliding about in big seas. One of those 'Key-Bak Mic-Bak Radio Retractable Tethers' would make sure your Mike wasn't sliding around on the helm and was always in the same place without fumbling for the latch point.

[@snuggles243]

Well done guys , watching this almost made me take my boat out of winter storage. off the hard and back in the water lol .. hi from Cornwall

[@VolundrM]

Amazing what you have accomplished. Congratulations on the first big voyage of many to come.

[@briansmythe3000]

Man what a Project Been watching on and off for a Few years Amazing work 😮Congratulations God speed too all who sail on board

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks Brian, yes we feel like we are just starting now. We have some pretty cool projects to do and the Navy wants to become more involved which is pretty exciting

[@oyou812]

I'm glad it was a great shakedown cruise for you guys.

[@davidvanhooton5790]

Well done…. All that preparation paid off. Very good to see your progress. I look forward to seeing you and coming aboard when you arrive in my part of the world, in our future. What a blessing for you all. David

[@tonyrickwood3246]

Congratulations to you all!❤️❤️

[@waynerudiger1756]

How wonderful for you to finally point her north and get in some serious steaming. So happy for you. As you adapt to the new environment one challenge for you will be to figure out how to get better audio of conversations, to overcome the engine noise. I saw that you were wearing mics but it was still hard to hear what you were saying. Regardless, awesome to see a completely different background - the open ocean!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yes audio is definately a challenge, The wireless mic's were dropping in/out (and you dont get any warning of this) so sometimes you have normal good audio and other times the other persons mic is trying to hear what your saying over the background noise (and a coulple of times both mics just quit altogether and you have silence).

[@stephen3223]

Yeah! Congratulations!

[@kstricl]

Awesome to see this video. Brupeg sounds good, the wings look like a resounding success too.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah they worked a treat, we have a couple of modifications we want to do to them but its mainly about making them easier to use. (two new winches, Swap the cable to Dyneema, Change the bolting arrangement so its simplier and add some grease points).

[@jh8111]

Congratulations, huge accomplishment guys.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

How I envy Y'all!!! It must be great to look ahead and know what's in your future!!

[@ukulelefatman]

Great weather. Remember, no whistling on board ship. You'll "Whistle up a wind". Wishing you continued good luck !!

[@Wyntar]

👍👍

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thank you so much for this!

[@davedunn4285]

i love kookaburras they have so many laughs glad to see your maiden voyage and all you have done to get this project to where it is now

[@justineverett5012]

Well done guys 10 years of hard work enjoy the rewards x

[@Gnawtnz]

Congratulations

[@theteadrinker-143]

Well done all and Brupeg , very good video with so much going on I will have to watch it a couple of times I think . Lovely to see her back on the waves 👍🏻

[@TheLoxxxton]

Couldnt have been a better trip!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Definately

[@davidwilson9988]

Sincere congratulations, massive achievement ❤👏👏👏

[@comeandtravel1]

Great job getting underway! Cheers!

[@ColWillcoxColww]

Do yourself a favour and add a lot more grab rails, floor plates and guards in engine room. Good trial. Really happy for you both.

[@JaySea1069]

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Cheers from the Pine Tree State

[@dennisreeves632]

Ditto the last comment. So good to see you guys having fun on the water. The boat looks fabulous!

[@dcallan812]

Back where she belongs off shore. congratulations. I worked in refining for a while the domes are horton sphere's.a spherical pressure vessel used to store liquefied gases in industrial settings. They are often used to store liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG

[@randogame4438]

Duncan looked really tired most if this, bet he sleeps on the plane! Nice shakedown cruise.

[@1425race]

So satisfying seeing you ocean-bound after 10 years. Where to after Gladstone? Hope a future expedition returns you and Brupeg to the homeland - longtime Wellingtonian subscriber here.

[@benelvey5854]

Amazing video! Just one tip would be to get a small mic so that we can hear people talking clearly

[@MatthewPrimavera-h3p]

The David Attenborough at the end with the koala 😂😂 so good

[@DuncanMargetts]

Super, you earnt this!

[@Assassinlexx]

The ship's log will have a great entry, being her first big shakedown cruise. As you dicuss about what changes want on board. I suggest you could have a camera that can be mounted on a pole , that can attached when filming. Like a channel for the pole to follow. Wow one little leak to report. Double thumbs up on that. 👍👍

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah very liitle went wrong. We assumed more would happen on the first shake down but she was well behaved. We do have 5 more cameras we want to mount around the boat (starboard docking cameras, engine room and forward looking at top of radar mast).

[@Assassinlexx]

@ProjectBrupeg Ha ha I forgot to say to put this camera in the water on the bow to film things like dolphins swimming in front . If I could ever get to be on board. I sling my hammock in the engine room just to listen to Cummins loll me to sleep.

[@nicclark9791]

She's move'en pretty nicely, from a rusty old bathtub, nice job YOU ALL.

[@michaelbrowne8068]

You need some fishing poles. Tuna yum.

[@williamhamill813]

Get the seasick things that go behind your ear. They work great.

[@UserName-px6vc]

1:34 "Lamb and drugs" Yes please!

[@nivek2157]

Such an amazing accomplishment. Im absolutely amazed at how much determination and patience it would have taken.

[@markrowcroft2890]

Superb! Well done guys - awesome acheivement!
