Snakes on a Boat
Просмотров 3197 месяцев назад
We woke up at 2 AM last night to the sound of dishes rattling. This is what we found. Apparently, it swam out to our boat and boarded (without our permission!). We used a 2 meter long piece of angled aluminum to persuade it to go outside into the cockpit and then into the water. It swam away looking perturbed. The music is AI generated (Suno.ai).

Wayag Raja Ampat Indonesia

Wayag is the crown jewel of Raja Ampat and yet not all that many people visit this amazing island. It's a bit out of the way and apart from a small rangers station, there's nothing on the island. (I say "Island" but it's actually hundreds of small islands grouped in an area called Wayag.)

We sailed (well, actually mostly motored) from Darwin, Australia to Saumlaki Indonesia where we checked in to the country. Truthfully, Saumlaki didn't have much going for it, but there was one little gem - Hidden Beach. There will be more here: www.twoatsea.com\hidden-beach-saumlaki Our anchor position was 08° 03.344' S, 131° 16.197' E. The music is "Gaia Dreaming Herself Awake" by George Deuter.

    I know it is an old video. found it interesting. Have a 3GM and the R&D mounts. Seem to have a different problem, which could be age. engine and mounts are about 20 year old/1000 hour. Rock solid at idle, so much you could put a full glass of water on it and it would not spill a drop. Under load (2-2.5k, seems to shake a bit more than I remember 900 hours ago. Not a lot by any means. Figured I would replace them due to age. The video almost looks like propshaft whipping or something out of balance, which a 3 cyl is naturally. Was the engine and propshaft checked for alignment after?

    hello and thank you very much for your videos. I'm not as good as you but I would love to be able to do the same. I have an image for which I know the different GPS positions and I would like to view it in my Lowrance hook 7 fishfinder. I understand that I need to create .at5 files (perhaps other formats are compatible?) For this I used land 9 with which I managed to create an .rmap file or orux-map which allowed me to create a .jpg and .xml file which I can open in the orux application -map. can you explain to me how to create a file compatible with my fishfinder? either from my image and GPS coordinates or from my .rmap file or .jpg + .xml? This may be simple for you but I've been stuck on the subject for a while. I tried using insightmapcreator but failed to create a .at5 file Thanks a lot for your help ! ❤

      Sorry for the delay. Here's info on how to wire a Simrad NSS9 EVO3 directly to a buzzer or alarm. Other systems should be similar. Make sure to keep the maximum current rating (amps) below the limit. Connect the positive of the external buzzer to +12 volts DC. Connect the negative side of the buzzer to the blue wire from the power plug as you said. Here are some relevant quotes form the manual: For sirens that draw more than 1 Amp, use a relay. The external alarm can be a small piezo buzzer connected directly, or a horn siren connected through a relay.

The main bolt in R&D mounts seem to be removable from underneath, which means it needs to be secured in place using a locking nut just above the top plate of the mount . So, in effect we need 3 nuts to make this mount work. bottom one to lock the mount together, middle one to adjust the height of engine, top one to secure engine to the mount... what do you think?
