Chain Locker Modification/ Boat DIY & Luke's losing His Mind!! Ep 105

[@randomtraveler3363]

A great improvment to the anchor locker

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It's working a treat 😜

[@novocain13]

Great DIY work, Adam!👍🏻🤠

[@TheSailingBrothers]

😊 oh yeah

[@DaleShirley-o1u]

Delicious!!!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

So good!

[@williambell8282]

If you put a large 'cone' under the pipe the chain will be 'encouraged' to spread wider over the floor of the locker. Now there's another 'job' for you 😄

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Yes have heard about the cone effect. Keeping a close eye out for one so we can test it 😜

[@dogmom6010]

@@TheSailingBrothers sounds like the next step. I haven't seen any small personal fans like USB. Rick

[@trevormaskall4794]

I would suggest a simple angled board at the bottom of the chain locker so that the chain is more likely to lay down rather than pile up, but a vast improvement so far guys.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks Trevor. You're putting ideas in our minds 🤔

[@KatKin123]

I’ve got to confess I’ve just binge watched the Atlantic adventure and the round Britain trip. I’m sold! You guys are my favourite sailing channel and I’m so delighted you’re on this adventure of a lifetime. Good for you! Inspiring stuff 👏🙏♥️

[@dogmom6010]

These lads are down to earth honest and living the dream. Rick

[@julianbatcheler9970]

They are amazing…

[@TheSailingBrothers]

YES we are number one! 🤣🤣 Only joking. Number one in your eyes 👀 We are on an adventure of a lifetime and it's fantastic to share it with you

[@snowyowl539]

Wow what beautiful places you are seeing . You did a great job there Adam with the chain . But when you said what am I using the pipe for I thought you had took up pole dancing x

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks Snowy Owl I think I did a pretty good job on the chain locker pipe. Let's see how long it lasts. Don't worry I'm not taking up pole dancing 😂😂

[@anthonyhaynes4818]

Hi Guys , I have watched every episode . What a great adventure you are on,I have done it all myself and it sure brings back memories ,you have a long way to go and i wish all the best. The creatures you found stuck to the rocks are called CHITONS [ ancient armored molluscs ]😎

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Hey Anthony We are all in the same boat then. I'm assuming you have sailed around the world. We are pretty excited to get into the Pacific Ocean that's where the fun really begins 👍. Thanks for the explanation regarding the crustaceans

[@nigelsmith2944]

As much as I really love the sailing and the islands etc (and I do !!!) I have to say that I totally love the practical projects - but please note, we can never get tired of 'cheese on toast' - wonderful !!!!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

It is really nice to have a good balance of sailing exploring and a little bit of DIY And of course delicious cheese on toast 👌

[@sailorboy7277]

Well done Adam on the chain locker modification 👍 hope you enjoyed the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, one of my favourite 🎥

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks James it's working a treat We watched The secret Life of Walter Mitty it was brilliant 😁

[@philgibbs5270]

Love the way you re engineer things as you travel along, over coming issues and making good. Top job 👍🏻

Thanks Phil It's a job I have always wanted to complete. Now it works a treat 😁

Gents...you guys are so down to earth and genuine. Real people. Thanks for continuing to take us on your journey.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We do try our best Simon. We think life on camera should be real! No fakery, it is what it is sailing ⛵

[@CRi5_Ralph]

Nice Chain Pipe job Adam 👍; Guys You wouldn't believe the way Britain is right now, Its a MESS. Your in the Right Place Doing exactly what I wish I did. Great Video as always Fellas, Not Sure what those fossils are but very interesting as like Luke's full Jar of Beetroot & "Red P""" 🤣.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Cheers thanks very much We speak to our family regularly and know the situation in the uk the moment is pretty bleak. Those fossils were pretty amazing 🤙

[@EdwardSeatonSailings]

That was a great goosey gander!

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Oh yeah 😁

[@marcelop9377]

Good job on the improvement. SUGGESTION: Get one of those small orange traffic cones, cut the base to fit and place it just under the new spurling pipe. The chain will hit the cone and fall around it, and will not pile up.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We have heard about the traffic cone method. Once we get our chain regalvanized or new anchor chain I will look out for a traffic cone 💪

[@ooweesaler]

Beautiful sea and sand, paradise indeed. Dinghy is looking a little worse for wear. 🤣

[@TheSailingBrothers]

The dinghy is looking a little sad 😭 To be honest it's too small and of poor quality

What beautiful sights you two are really experiencing, and how far you've gone Fair play to you guys. Already looking forward to next week. Keep it up guy's For the second time I'm watching your journey from the very first time you left Wales to sail around the uk. Now look at the pair of you. Living the dream. Thank you🥰

Haha Adam "I've found this stone, excellent for sharpening our knives" Luke "Well done." 😅 Also i well remember your walk in Scotland and the 'horse' (pony) blocking your path. it pops in my head occasionally and it still makes me laugh :) Cheers lads!

Great innovation, solving your chain locker problem is important, making life on board better, seeing you opted for Long Island instead of Cat Island, perhaps we will meet you out there.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

We are really impressed with the upgrade it's working a treat so far. Long Island is a better starting point for us to head south east we thought. Hopefully we will meet Rauf 👍

[@martinbirdiebrain1912]

Looks absolutely amazing there lads, the water is so clear and beautiful, Great mod to the chain locker Adam 👌🏻 Not quite sure of Luke’s red pee pee 😂😂😂 Glad to see the brown sauce made an appearance for the cheese on toast👋👋 Ah yes those wild horses in Scotland whilst you were walking along the side of the hill,

[@TheSailingBrothers]

You could sail here once you get to your sailing boat Martin ⛵. The chain locker upgrade is working a treat, it's so much better. You remember the wild horses in Scotland when Luke was terrified 😂😂

[@martinbirdiebrain1912]

That would be amazing sailing there in my own ⛵️ when I purchase it, Oh yes I remember the wild horses, the brown and the white one, But in another episode there are 2 dark coloured ones led down in a field you were in, Don’t forget, I’m a super nerd sailing bros fan 💪🏻 😂😂😂

Thanks MCallsen 🤙 I think we will stick to the sailing 😁⛵⛵

[@billywhizz6483]

Great episode, what a place! That rock looked like bassalt (volcanic lava) so not likely to be fossils (which are mainly formed in sedimentary rock). Look like some type of mollusc that is stuck to the rock waiting for the tide to come in. I'm no expert though so happy for others to chip in with an opinion.

[@lowcountrydawg2525]

Limestone.

[@TheSailingBrothers]

Thanks for the explanation Billy we really appreciate it you seem to know your stuff! 🤙

Yup, coral-based limestone and those are chitons.

Did you remember to tie the end of the chain on when you finished with a short length of rope

[@TheSailingBrothers]

I connected to the end of the chain to the shackle in the bottom of the locker 🤙

[@grahamlongley8298]

@@TheSailingBrothers I was told by an old blue water sailor, to use a length of rope. This is so that if I had to cast off in an emergency, I could lash a fender to the chain & just cut the line (Which would be long enough to reach on deck) Then go back for the chain later on. I do not know if this has ever happened to anyone, or why they would need to dump the anchor. But as I sail SH if I did not have time to grovel in the locker I can see the sense in having the rope.

[@kevinktthomas8916]

@@grahamlongley8298 Yes, this is correct. If a storm comes up you might have to let out all your chain to avoid dragging the anchor. But if that still doesn’t work and you’re on a lee shore you’re going to want to motor out of there, very possibly without enough time to gather in all your chain (against a wind that might be too much for your capstan/windlass). So if your ‘bitter end’ - this is where that phrase derives - can be cut free and left recoverable floating on a couple of fenders you’ll be able to get away much quicker than trying to undo a shackle in the bottom of the chain locker. youtube.com/@TheSailingBrothers well done on another great episode!
