THE HONEYMOON IS OVER! A leaking hull and a busted watermaker. EP63

[@colinboniface194]

If you let it known you can fix boats, you get all sorts of perks... I have a supply of cakes and coffee any time I want after fixing a chaps leaking windows... Full removal and re-bed. Lovely cakes too... The food on Rio makes me salivate every time you guys cook something special... Fixing your water maker, mate you are a genius...

[@SailingSVRio]

thanks mate. its by necessity really but you certainly do get a kick out of fixing the unfixable. if our windows start leaking ill get you out for some of Maris banana bread and a roast!

@@SailingSVRio Hell yes, I'm in...

[@fisher-y6c]

Great roast pork. A Shipwright is very handy on a catamaran.

[@SailingSVRio]

I keep him busy!

We bought our Fusion second hand. One of the first things I said to the original owner,rigs a bit loose.NO,he cried.When in this situation,with the screacher ,needing a tight luff.All the rig load transfers to your leaking anchor points and as you said would pull through the hull.We put a 6 mm disc inside and outside,to be sure PADDY.No these were cheap ,ready ,off the shelf.😂😂😂😂 Best of luck ,good sailing .Rob and Jan Tahlia Tiger .

[@SailingSVRio]

thanks guys and yes - good call. Everytime I loaded up those whiskers I would wince but not anymore. Had the spinnaker up in 32 knots the other day, and sure I was worried but not about the anchor points! Good luck with Tiger. Hope to see you out here one day.

Looks like fun mate. Far away from all the madness that's been going on in tv land

[@SailingSVRio]

too true. painful to watch and no good for anyone... also ive taken to calling my wife Hamish. She looks at my edits sometimes and says things like "a lot of talking there, why don't you just cut that out" and "is that necessary" to which I reply "thanks hamish" and then dutifully recut the edit while muttering about "unpicking everything ive just done" and such. like a true editor.

[@hamishthomson6237]

She’s very sharp. Got to keep you in line. Bloody show pony

Only found your channel by chance when I googled boating and Tangalooma. Very familar with the wrecks and it was just 3 weeks ago that we last snorkelled on them. We no longer have a sailboat (darkside-powerboat now) as at 70 it became handful. But my 39 year old son is trying to persuade his South American wife that it's okay to have a 36 foot plus boat. Her concern is the the 2 month old baby and 2 year old son. My son began sailing Optimists at 6 so sailing abiliy is not an issue. I've sent him a link to your channel! Hopefully his wife watches it!

Hey thanks for watchiing, and yes - cruising with kids can make things tricky but here in Fiji there's more klid boats than couples. And we saw one couple on a mono with three boys under 6!!

[@Dreamtimesail]

Happy Birthday. 😉Currently cruising in Indonesia so we are seriously jealous of the roast pork.😉

[@SailingSVRio]

ha ha - I feel your pain. Roast pork crackling is one of life's great pleasures. Great surf where you are though !

[@celestinedramaqueen]

Great video guys, what a roast birthday dinner. Where do we get a floating swimming platform, that looks great!

[@SailingSVRio]

pork crackling. not many dinners to beat that. the pontoon is from bay sports.

That water maker could be a real issue. You definitely wouldn’t want to ingest an oil that’s not made to be ingested by humans even in microscopic amounts. You may want to investigate what type of oil it actually is.

[@SailingSVRio]

Its the same oil as the yammers. Diesel 15-40w. and yes you know you're in a bad spot when you start googling "can I drink engine oil" - which I did - turns out you can drink that stuff in small amounts. so bon appetite !

[@laurapitre5797]

That oil won't make it past the membranes but it will eventually damage them.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Micro and Nano plastics Are more of issue typically you end up consuming a credit cards worth a week and it gets into every cell. Taking other forever chemicals and micro organisms with them. Plastic pipes and bottles are some of the worst sources ...the other is in the fish and shell fish.😬

[@Fwdking]

You need some rachet ring spanners, perhaps with swivel head , which might make squeezes into tight spots a bit quicker. Happy birthday , great celebrations. Style . 👍🇦🇺🦘

[@Fwdking]

@mal4821 true, for a tight spot once , was only tool could use . Didn't have at time, do now. Funny , I've never used them since but loaned out a few times.
