The Lows of Sailing around the World (Sailing Nandji) Ep 104

[@jackhenderson9812]

She is still KICKIN ! The most important thing in the world. Very happy for you guys.

[@davidc6510]

Bonita, Sorry for the loss of you auntie and going through the health scare! On a lighter note that segment of Yoshi talking "give me some wind now!" with the constant change of sunnies was a hoot. Thanks for the video you frothy sailors!

[@kb8wfh]

So sorry for your loss, Bonita. And continue to pray your health is good and stays that way. Please take care of yourselves and keeping you both in my prayers.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thank you Matt :)

[@geremychubbuck3730]

I'm so sorry for your loss Bonita. My prayers are with you for your loss and your health.

[@spinnaker5514]

Dearest Bonita, I'm going to assume the best and that the lump you've discovered turned out to be nothing serious! The world would be a far less beautiful and happy place without you on it. So please, please take care of yourself! We all want to see you every week for many more years to come! Hopefully, this new motor will be a blessing for you both and make your lives a whole lot easier. Of all the sailing channels I watch you guys seem to endure the most difficulties....but you always do it with a smile on your faces. You teach us how to make the best out of a bad and sometimes difficult situation. A very very important lesson indeed! Thanks for setting the example that all of us should strive for! God Bless Nandji and all who sail upon her!

[@hebelson444]

I love your grumpy dog and his morning yawn. reminds me of my Mikkie (passed away), used to be very vocal about not wanting to wake up and just enjoy the morning.

[@waynemcphail7825]

Sorry for your loss! Love your attitude, and your concentration

[@micheldawes1]

My condolences for your loss Bonita. I’m sending you guys all my most positive thoughts, good vibrations and best wishes for a speedy passage and smooth voyage. Keep your spirits up and your minds focussed on the task at hand and sorry fo the cliche’, but whatever will be, will be....

[@clifflong1203]

All grace and goodness to you both! Awesome video once again! Thank you for sharing even the intimate aspects of your lives with us all...keep'n it real!!

[@roberthodgins5740]

sorry to hear of your loss Bonita and prayers for your health and congrats on getting funds for new motor

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks Robert! It has been challenging in some aspects and celebratory in others. The roller coaster of life!

[@daleportorford]

Prayers for you Bonita. Probably nothing too serious though if it went away and then came back. God Bless and looking forward to many more videos of your adventures and smiles.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks legend!

[@CaptMortifyd]

May you be comforted with the mourners of Jerusalem and Zion, sorry for your loss, Bonita. Hope your health is all right, and congrats on making the engine goal!

[@MrTatts64]

I realise that what we're seeing here is not exactly happening over the last couple of days. But take it from someone who has spent too much of their life worrying about "what if"? Try not to do it guys. We all have just one life and seeing you two really enjoying your lives (I dont think anyone has a wonderful time ALL of the time) brings light to mine. I wont promise you that things like his wont ever happen again if you continue your sailing lives, but I can guarantee that you being at home will make no difference to the final outcomes of anyones lives. We're all moving down a one way street to the same destination and no one can change direction. So, just try to appreciate what you have while you have it and try not to worry about ANYTHING you cannot control or even influence. Just live, love and be happy in life. Do that and in my book you have made it!! All the best as always.

[@betty-loucreamer112]

I’m so sorry for your loss🙏💞💟🇨🇦

[@almarkham3470]

Sorry for your loss and wish you only the best for any medical issues that you have. We truly love y'all and only hope that you can continue your journey without any major issues! Safe travels and hope to see y'all soon!

[@joelenepreising7436]

Missed you guys, two weeks is soooo long, hope you get sorted Bonita and my condolences with your loss, don't worry about Josh he's a dapper sailor and would look after Nadji and Marley just fine, so put your worries in an old kid-bag and do what you have to. Nanji is my favourite treat so thank you for the awesome footage from Joelene in Oudtshoorn in good old SA.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Health’s always the No. 1 issue. All the best Bonita. As for batteries (esp on boats) a potential time bomb but a necessity. Hope you got to the bottom of that issue. Cheers GERARD

[@mitchpender8113]

Just watched the end of the vid , yosh i would say the fuse didnt blow for 2 reasons no 1. Fuse blew and melted the plastic which possibly could have shorted together ( do a visual check) 2. There was a high resistance join where the blades of the fuse contact the fuse holder its called a hot join in the trade and the current it was drawing was under the fuse rating , this is the most likely scenario. Blade type fuses can be problematic in marine enviroments , and i would add checking all spring type fuse holders to your maintenance schedule ( every 6 months remove , clean possibly add conductive paste) . Happy to answer any electrical questions you guys have ... ( mechanical too , lots of experience but my trade is in electrical )

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Thanks for the insight Mitch, the fuse never blew, that was the problem. Reading the manual after for the charging unit and it was advised not to use blade fuses... I can safely say this was not my fault though as it was not installed by me! Question: If the current it was drawing was under the fuse rating, then the fuse is too large? correct? I generally clean and observe most electrical connections every month. Generally because there is some problem that occurs and I give everything the once over haha thanks mate

[@mitchpender8113]

@@FrothLyfeSailingNandji no im sure the fuse was tne correct size , fuses are to protect the cabling 1st and the component 2nd so the fuse wpuld have been sized to the cable and a little bit overthe maximum that the charger could deliver . For certain the issue was a hot joint try to replace the blade fuse with an enclosed glass fuse or a circuit breaker . You are doing great maintaining Nanji , what type of diesel did you purchase ? Please dont say volvo....

[@faircompetition1203]

What he said . The fuse did not blow because you were not over current . What you had was a bad connection in the fuse blades and that generated the heat . Same thing that causes fires in aluminum wiring . Not an expert but there may be a gel you can put on connections to reduce the corrosion by keeping out oxygen , it is used in aluminum wiring . Ask an expert for advice . Fire on a boat is my BIGGEST fear

[@marctoya]

You are amazing people,love the energy! is sad when our relatives pass away,I am away from my family for years and it's happen to me this year with my uncle,it is a fustraded situation of our life.

[@marctoya]

And hope the lump get taken care of we want to see your smiling 😇

[@srqlisa7881]

Condolences. the best of health to you. I have had 3 painful lumps all turned out benign. they say if it hurts that a good sign. :) peace

[@mf9008]

Dude, I don't think anyone is noticing your sweet sunglasses change! Not one comment, so here is one. God Bless Bonita.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

haha Thanks B

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Great update. Stay alkaline, my friends. An alkaline body is a healthy body. Great news about the new motor! Nothing like a repower to give you lots of confidence.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Cheers legend! Alkaline all the way!

[@anthonyalford8970]

Hope you feel better, Oh and your boat need a new motor badly. :) Glad it happen

[@mikeskelly2356]

Good on you Bonita, my Mum refused to have her lump checked out because she thought a neighbor who waited to get a mastectomy after her problem had spread had died because of the operation and not because of the disease. The cancer took my Mum three years later. If she had only gone for treatment, we would have had her for at least 25 more years...

[@kinghen11]

Sorry for your loss 😞. On an upswing I made Dragon fruit wine very good!

[@tedrenard472]

Hi guys. Real valiant effort to get going in this vid, respect to you both for grinding out a result in less than ideal circumstances. Looking at the state of your connections on that battery, I'm surprised it's lasted this long. You really have to start getting to grips with wiring, about the diameter and condition of the stuff you're using. There's a handy, fortunately straightforward and thin, book called The 12 volt bible, written specifically for boats, that will explain a load of useful stuff to look out for. 12 volt stuff isn't like domestic leccy. You're sitting there with a number of batteries in the 100 amp range, possibly 400 amps in total. House wiring is max 13 amps, so the risk of fire, the size of wire and fittings, and, crucially, the condition of the wire are all super critical. Any wire with black corrosion on it is done for. The electrons flow down the outside of the strands, not through the shiny core you see when you cut it. Splits in insulation and poor end fixings in close proximity to other wires are a shock hazard because leccy energy is a force field, almost like hyper magnetism and the insulation contains that. Poor insulation = poor containment of the energy. I'm assuming you're right on top of the voltage settings for charging your particular battery type. If not, get reading. Trying not to sound like your dad here, but you might complain about slow progress on your boat in the middle of a 400 mile trip, but it's a huge load faster than you can row the same distance after the boat has burned down. Plan in advance and spend a week checking as much wiring as you can, you'll be glad you did. "Resistance is futile" is a saying that was made for boat wiring, and corrosion or small diameter add to the resistance at a rate you wouldn't believe possible. If in doubt about the wire size, choose the bigger one, seal the ends where the fittings crimp on with self amalgamating tape over plastic dip, and then heatshrink over that. Assume that at some point it might get wet when you need it most, and prepare for those circumstances. Sorry for lecturing, but I'd rather look at tosser than see all of your hard work go up in flames. Cheers.

[@cqmacht4513]

get well again soon Bonita

[@sailingpopao]

Good to see you guys made it to Timor in time, can't imagine how frustrating that four day sail must have been with all of that going on. Best wishes and be sure to take the time you need to grieve and address any health issues, the tube can come later xx

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Cheers legends, yep it was a frustrating sail but in the scheme of things a relatively successful sail! Thanks guys!

Bonita im sure Yosh would have been fine to do a solo passage , I've done it a few times , and I probably have less experience. I purchased my boat ( newport 41 called Atlas about the same time as you from moololaba , nanji was a boat i looked at too!) Sailing solo you just show conservative canvas.. best wishes to you both

[@garysouza2277]

Recently lost a close friend to cancer. Started out as breast, then went everywhere. Glad you found the lump early , hope it's not serious. Take care of yourself. You too, Yosh, although the worst thing you got going is that haircut @11:28... ; ) LOL!! Be safe.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

THanks Legend! Sorry to hear of your loss, Cancer is a prick no one wants to play with. We are glad we sent Bonita to the health care she needed. Unfortunately these areas are not equipped for such things and many women suffer from not knowing the early symptoms. Hair cuts at sea hey haha

[@briandunne456]

You two rock.. inspiring..🐩 couldn't find a pink ribbon in my emojis ( for breast cancer) so you got a pink poodle lol.. hope everything works out for the best 😊😊

Thanks Frederick :)

[@sailingtheworld2021]

I am not sure what size wire it is your using for your charging system, but it doesn't look like wire for 40 amp fuse... I would check what size wire you were using, i think it should be at least a number 8 AWG not sure what it is in millimeters

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

First condolences to you and your family, it's never an easy thing and second, I hope your med situation turns out to be minor. I know cancer well unfortunately, and because of that I also know that cancer's has only one good thing, it shows how many people care and love you. Here is Hoping for the the best and with your mans permission.... XO!
