This is my dream!!!

I've said this for the last couple of years that I have been a member of several sailing channels that those sailors that have and are raising their children will have the most well rounded future citizens than almost anyone else. They are being home schooled as well as traveling all over the world seeing and meeting different cultures, their language and mannerisms. And because of this, they will be accepted nearly everywhere they travel. Outstanding job to all of you parents.

Your acoustic experiment (10:33) was wonderful and amazing! The Romans (and Greeks) certainly understood amphitheaters and acoustic properties. How shameful, knowing the technologies and their understanding, that Western society has forgotten antiquity … all in the name of progress! It appears that the 21st century has regressed in so many ways, but … YOU sail by the wind, and entertain by your wits and skills. Onward and upward 🤺⚔️

Great video and loved classical guitar!!

looks fun and lots of historical beauty

Does anyone board or search the ship

With the hat, without the hat, mad as a hatter 🙂

Are you sure your not on holiday? Dave & Ginger.

I learnt some new engineering terms there today... "Yam these up to high fcuk" being my favourite, and one I shall steal!!

As always great video and went by so fast

A belated Happy Birthday from us all. 🎉❤

I enjoy them also, thanks.

Love your videos

11:32 Keeping the gearbox stuff & engine as seperate modules makes a lot of sense so the oil can be tailored to the application & the gearbox oil lasts a lot longer & engine heat is less of an issue for the gears & its easy to extract the gearbox by itself but there have been intances where the engine & gearbox have been combined, the mk1 mini & other BMC front wheel drive cars were an example.

I can't listen to anymore my friend. No oil no pressure no movement until pressure builds up. Oil lost through a worn seal at that point where it's splashing about. Replace the seal, top up the box and away to go. If you destroy the new seal quickly then you'll have to find out why your propshaft is turning egg shaped, not round and round

Great video guys, what a learning curve! 😊

You'll have to let us know how late your start of class went.

Well done guys! 👏 😊⛵️

Well done. Every day is a learning day 🎉

That was truly fascinating. Reminds me of when I had to repair my Dad's canal boat coupling that had not been fitted correctly.

Brilliant that the kids get involved 😊

Boating is about fixing boats not sailing them. Think yourself lucky you are in the water - that's not the norm by any means 🙂 These people sailing around the World, sitting on tropical beaches and fishing huge tuna for their dinner - lies, video skills, photoshop, green screen. Maybe a few shots from when they first brought the boat back from where it was sold, then the last 5 years in the marina 🙂 Wrong... OK, drop me a line I'll come out for a couple of weeks to find out. Well it was worth a try 🙂

We hauled out at Marina Motril two years ago I think it was the most friendly place we found in the med. in December of 22 we crossed the Atlantic and we are currently cruising in the sea of Cortez and it was a nice surprise to see your video with Motril. We got to know Roberto senior and Lidia quite well and you are correct about the friendly vibe. Safe travels Gary and Ena SV Divergent

We're currently in the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. Stunning, loads of little islands. You have to come up here when you get this far.

Great video and what a life you have

Idyllic

😅 If only I had a computer like that in the 80's. Your kids are such great swimmers. If you get a chance to give them basic rescue training it is well worth the time. Anyway, a comment for the algorithm and my best wishes for the adventures to come. Tc .

Wow! How great to see you enjoying the very best of the weather and beaches. ❤

8:25 that reminded of working in a frozen food supermarket place back in 1977. We used to get frozen jam & whipped cream sponge cakes out of the freezer as a treat when working late on a Wednesday evening. The whipped cream & high sugar content jam froze to a crumbly consistency so the cake was edible straight out of the freezer, very yummy indeed.

Hi. Thanks for this. I'm giving it a go this Summer. Do you need any kind of boat registration papers? I don't really have anything with my boat. The ssr registration is online these days seemingly.

Maybe I missed it, but how many amp hours in battery bank do you have? Thanks!

This is why you dont go sailing with women. They are always crying or in a panic making everything worse.

Well done Hugh, takes something special to manage a difficult (scary) situation with your kids on board, top man. Just for info, before we left I threw the pound notes at a Spade. No roll bar to get fouled up; anchoring is now a totally different, stress free experience! All the best...🙋

I'd say that achor drag learning experience came with perfect timing. Daytime and all hands on deck. Lovely story telling and video work. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂

The perils of the music business 🙂

am thinking about getting a second anchor after hearing your troubles

Another thing that has been puzzling me and don’t want you to take it the wrong way!! Obviously it’s great to have friends and meet people but this not only applies to you but several of you seem to be sticking together which is obviously fine but whilst you are doing that you are missing out on seeing some beautiful places which you all have done ?

Was in Fuengirola a few months ago. Just thinking because the beach and bay is so vast - surely you’re leaving yourself open to the elements anyway?

I have a theory- the more imagination you have, the scarier sailing becomes! Well done on surviving the anchor drag. We have CQR's and they can be problematic. However after 25 years we'll stick with what we know, just make sure it really is set EVERY time you drop it.Trouble is a new generation anchor,ie Rocna etc, can be rather pricey. You pays your money and takes your choice! So lovely to have a partner who remains calm and focused on solving the problem. Big round of applause x

Very bad Spanish my friend. I have the same anchor as you, worried now!

Brilliant video

Great video

All they needed to do was take the alternator drive belt off then restart the engine

Well done everyone! I'm really pleased to hear that I'm not the only one who is always thinking through loads of scenarios! 😀

Congratulations on a great rescue operation! Next time, though, (and I'm being picky here) I think one of the Thunderbirds themes would work well too....

What kind of Mickey Mouse outfit...

Well done everyone!!

Nothing wrong with your hammock [1:33]. All that are missing are the two spreaders of about 20" (50cm), which need to be fitted at each end of the canvas to keep the ends apart, (just like we had in the Royal Navy).

Just goes to prove that a good hair cut leads to flashes of brillience... can't wait to see what brilliance Eric will flash now that his head weighs so much less.
