WE LOST OUR STEERING!! Ep 333

It's all smooth sailing until things GO WRONG! www.sailingnandji.com
We had succesfully crossed the Mallacca Strait from Langkawi, sailing 270 nautical miles arriving to Sabang Indonesia as the sun was coming up. We wasted no time clearing into the country the same day and picked up anchor in the afternoon to continue the trip south down the west coast of Sumatra.
The weather was light and we timed our pass through the notoriously dangerous cuts around the tip of Sumatra to perfection. with glassy seas we decided to keep going the 200 nautical miles to reach the first island of archipelago, Simelue. Everything was great until the sun set... 40 knots on the nose for hours and it only went down hill....

[@craiglewis6821]

Wow, I am so happy to see Bonita so healthy and happy! You guys are the very first sailing channel I watched. It's still the best channel on KZbin! Really good to see Marley back!!

[@Kevinplettenbergbay]

Ain't nothing Yosh can't fix or make a plan

[@davidhakes3884]

Yosh Kicks Booty on the boat work. You ALL look happy and that is the Best.

[@user-ji7qb6ek7h]

Hi, I have been watching from the beginning. Bonita, you look so right and beautiful now!!!

[@PedroThai]

Classic Sailing Nanji vlog, a bit of everything, fair winds

[@ianprice2298]

Bad grounds can cause so many problems! In electronics, PA systems, in cars, and in boats.

[@craig1lengyel]

I cant believe how time flies! It seems just a few months ago you purchased that boat and had all that work and now your enjoying the fruits of your labor!! Boat looks great! Thanks for sharing!

[@bubbagail7450]

Yosh you are amazing how you can stay so positive when things go south (fridge-steering-anchorage-etcetcetc, going with the flow I suppose. And Bonita you look so healthy, happy and as beautiful as ever. Take care guys.

[@TheJeffrey575]

So many places, so little time!

[@deborahbaker3136]

So happy to see you guys enjoying good health and the fruits of your hard work. Good on ya Yosh for having skills and patience to fix anything and everything. Perfect music and great vid❤️❤️

[@Fantic156]

So good to see Bonita looking fit and well, Tallulah looking gorgeous, and 'the crew' having fun. Yosh, you're the man, if it breaks you get pissed at it, but fix it, usually better than it was! So good to see Marley happy with his family again too ... Love you guys. enjoying life and doing it on your terms, fair play fellas!! 😜

[@michelebushnik2874]

Couldn't have said it better❤❤ love you all!

[@johnabriggs6044]

One thought I have is adding a rope with a float to put in the water well behind where you doing your ladder water drag so you do not have an emergency MOB to pick up while sailing. Looking like Nandji 2 is Sailing well for you and your family

[@johnphillips519]

When you are hanging off the back of the boat like that, Are you making yourself a really big lure?🤣

[@kristaready8812]

Good thing Yosh is so good at fixing things 😁 Loved seeing Marley man with his coconut! Bonita is glowing with health. Great episode guys 🤗💞

[@murrat]

I know the frustrations of boat repairs. So hard to get into the tight areas for troubleshooting and repairs. Your channel is amazing. Thanks.

[@anthonyexton7243]

Looking good , always gunna have boat problems 😎

[@susandates5375]

Luv to watch you guys...yust won't you show a bit more of that beautiful little girl of yours doings.. she is so vute..😄😄💝😄😄

[@jesswilson366]

Another wonderful episode- thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@robertnixon3816]

If you ever find a yacht that doesn't need something fixed, I'd like to see it! Another really good video sharing a slice of your lives. Paradise re found! Enjoy!

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

What’s the saying.. everything on your boat is broken you just don’t know it yet 😂

[@daveamies5031]

🤣🤣🤣 I want to see it too.

[@cheryllgoodluck3561]

Oh Marley so much love cheers

[@californiakayaker]

i wouldn't complain about anything I've seen, even the wind change. Its amazing out there !

[@willags]

It always makes me laugh. If you use it , it breaks. If you don't use it, it breaks. You guys are giving me my sailing fix while I'm in the middle of a engine rebuild. Fair winds stay safe

[@kevinwesson9934]

You guys are great! I've been watching sailing videos from many other channels for years. You guys are real and very interesting to watch. I am so glad to see you being so happy after many major challenges. Your journeys are real and love watching your videos. Thank you. And I must say your daughter is adorable and her charisma is a reflection of both of you. Great job!

[@kevinwesson9934]

The Greek word charisma means "favor" or "gift. That she is.

[@davidrickhuss2984]

Nick seems like a top bloke,u going well guys been watching u from the start keep up the good work ❤️

[@joanneerickson4093]

I love that Marley is back!

[@poponthedock9667]

have fun be safe

[@richb313]

Just happy to see all of you looking happy and healthy enjoying life on a sailboat.

[@user-ul4sw8xp5z]

I traveled in a diesel pusher full time for 12 years. If it's an electrical problem, first thing to check is the ground. Turns out 90% of the problems are ground. Would like to have seen more footage of the wahoo catch, clean, and cook. So much interesting content you could have created around that catch.

[@johnwalker6711]

Well done guys another great episode , cheers !!

[@charlesmiller4624]

Loved the chose of music, you rock!!❤

[@rocket262626]

Good job to all of you!! There is always one more thing to fix, but you're getting there! Luvya lots! ❤❤

[@DavidHaney1]

❤ GR8 VID ❤ LOVED IT ❤

[@creativecutter]

[@tomatobrush3283]

Some fantastic shots of the landscape. Glad to see you guys killing it.

[@matthewmccarthy7809]

Great to see you guys out on the water and having fun. Best wishes!

[@mariemorrissey9378]

❤❤

[@grahamwheelock7497]

When your heart tells you to pick up and move to the windward side just go your heart tells you before the weather will

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Boat work is never done. Love to see your lil fish swin! Safe travels ❤

[@8marcrara11]

Living the dream! Well done🧿🌺🐝⚓️🇦🇺🍄

[@andyp91]

Happy Sunday! Coffee and Nanji, pretty good combination

[@kennetw42]

C'mon Josh. I thought I was watching a sailing show. More motoring than sailing. Thanks anyhow.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

😂 200 miles upwind not enough? Can only give what the weather allows

[@jamarie1972]

Great video you lot are always amazing, sharing your experiences and beautiful scenery Boat life has a lot of highs and lows but you ride it out deal with it and move on. Thank you, week after week you show us the resilience of the Nandji crew! Cheers Yosh Bonita and crew!

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

You guys are so happy it is nice. Cheers

[@SailingLearningByDoing]

Heave-to and Hove-To, same thing but one is youre going to do it and the other you've done it already.

[@greenbimoon]

Had the same fridge issue this Sommer, once I'd laid in a new negative cable, all good again.

[@deerfootnz]

All new generation anchors are good, with the notable exception of the Delta which is an abomination. As others have noted soft shackles are easily the best way to attach bridles or snubbers. Most boats anchors are too small. I am a weight weenie but the anchor on the bow is the one place that I go very heavy. I have an 18 ton mono which is narrow and low with a small rig so low windage. I have an 80kg anchor on the bow with 115m of 10mm chain. I have never dragged or failed to set. It's great if I have to short scope. I always sleep like a baby and never even think about the possibility of dragging. It's not goingl to happen.

[@stephanswart3981]

Keep the faith Josh. Your doing great. Glad to see you all in high spirits.

[@bimmergeezer]

Another wonderful video kids, loved it!

[@troublekaliman]

Woot!

[@waynemckee9170]

When ever you are having electrician problem “ check your grounds”

[@michaelganshirt8795]

So difficult living on a boat. Constant maintenance and repair.

[@carolinaanthoness9428]

Quick question. You mentioned Nick is from Noosa QLD. His surname wouldn't by any chance be Hawkins. Dad being Sandy & mum Tracey.?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Nope, wrong nick

[@mikemoxley9477]

Another Great video !!!

[@jj56x7.5mm]

Love you from. Sa

[@thomasthornton5737]

😎👍👍👍❤

[@gertboerman3666]

That is why I will never go for a sailing vessel with a steering wheel. Most modern boats over 35 feet even have two of them. I think that's a male idea. I can hear a man say: "My boat has two steeringwheels and yours only got one". Seriously, with a tiller you can feel what the boat needs on sailtrim. Besides, with a steeringwheel there are too many parts involved. The wheel itself, the cables, the quadrant, the chain and the gear. And...the space it takes.The tiller has .........well, you got it. Berry the pride and go for a tiller on this French boat. I am very happy with my girlfriend, so don't take this the wrong way. So happy with Bonita with her natural boobs. Always thought there was something wrong with her. That's now gone. And Josh. You are indeed good at fixing things. You'll need it on a French boat ☺. Marley is a great dog and little May is my favourite girl in vlogs I follow.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Good luck tiller steering a 47 ft boat 😂 but I understand your theory. However a steering wheel is not complicated and personally a much better option!!!!!

[@bobbie7355]

Hugs from Texas sweeties 🩷🤠🩷

[@boomer3305]

josh looks ok but bonita looks 19 years old stunning

[@acptelford1307]

How does the dog get adequate exercise?

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Short passages and a couple of beach runs everyday.
