We have a better option for showers at sea. We bought a portable camping shower from Amazon ($33) for our cruising shower. It requires a charge (via USB) but the charge lasts for a long time. It has more pressure than the insecticide sprayer, doesn’t require a special purpose container, and takes up almost no space. We heat up fresh water in a sun shower bag, pour it into a standard bucket and hose down our salty bodies. Makes for a refreshing shower at sea.
We had issues with the paint chipping off so we wrapped it in black duct tape. When that sprayer died from being in the sun, we replaced it with another one that we didn’t cover at all because we were pretty far north in the world and there wasn’t enough sun to warm the water. We used water heater on the stove and added tank water to bring the temperature to the desired point.
Great Video, I live on my Catalina 30 in the Summer months,(BC, Canada) I love the shower idea, I have a water heater, but it is only good when on Shore Power, or after running the engine, plus it wastes some water getting to the Head. BTW, I hear some noise from your fenders, a squirt of WD40 will give you silence.
Great job! I really enjoyed this video. Do you have a video that explains how one can make those rope fenders? I am not a knot expert. I have no idea where to begin.
I too plan to bring mason jars on a boat BUT I have purchased the white plastic screw on lids instead of dealing with rust on lids. Very cheap and come in sizes to fit different mouth sizes.👍🏻
A buddy of mine uses one of the "seal a meal" home vacuum sealers for all the dry foods, (pasta, rice, beans etc). Saves space and it can't get wet even if you store it in the bilge.
Look for the MSR camping shower system, way more compact, and heats up with solar energy, I take it backpacking sometimes when I'm already bringing the bladder, and it gets legit hot if the suns out. Very nice if you havent had a shower in a while
Why the heck would someone thumbs down this information? I bet they aren’t boat owners. Also ball jars are great for pickling. My 1st batch of kimchi is working away as I write. Good job guys.
00:30 Alcohol is really dumb so the real solution is to not ever buy alcohol or store alcohol. But anyways, I wrap all my mason jars and other random glass jars with this poly weave as well. I get mine "free" because they are commonly used to bundle onions or garlic at the grocery store, or small fruit too, like apples. The poly web packaging from a bunch of 3 heads of garlic is a size which works perfect for mason jars because it stretches snugly to fit over the jar, the large size wide mouth ones. Also small bags of lemons and limes are now packaged in a larger size poly web bag which is good for larger glass jars. I also put my dive gear in a poly weave bag from like from oranges (7 lb bag size), it holds everything while allowing the gear which is often slightly damp to dry out. So yeah anyways the poly weave packaging is useful and free to reuse. It is better than bubblewrap because bubblewrap is too thick and doesn't allow visibility of what's inside.
Ikea realised this was very handy and subsequently changed the voltage to 24V. They will have nothi,ng to do with people who make use of their products.
Number one hack in my view is the credential binder. If they think you know what your doing, they will be less worried that your a terrorist. Pirates don't come prepared to be inspected. It works that way in the states too. I do like the cockpit step also.
It has worked out really well! In the Azores, we got asked for a document that we didn’t have and by the organization of the binder the officer was really nice and said “well you didn’t lose it so I guess they never gave it to you”. He did the missing paper work and didn’t charge us a late fine or anything! Saved our bacon!
I'm lovin' your work Chaps (British version of Guys)...very informative and that absolute necessity; a sense of humour. For a future video, when you're at a loss as to what to shoot (for instance when you are twiddling your fingers whilst gazing up at the fluffy clouds scudding across that blue azure sky) howzabout showing us how to actually make those very neat rope fenders, so that when I actually get my boat and have some used running rigging I can make some myself.
Many good tips - thanks! I would recomend adding a strip of wood underneath the step from the cockpit, to secure it from sliding off at one side. A fall of one feet can be enough to cause injury. The strip should of course be as wide as the opening between the benches. :-)
"The cape is mine...I make the [expletive} whooshing sound" Hahahahaha!!! My son just purchased a 26' sailboat and he wants to re-do the lighting. I just called him and forwarded your lighting hack. Thanks! B-more with love. Stay safe
Great tips! I already use the protective covers for liquor bottles, I thought I was the only one. I do wonder about the mason jars though, aren't they heavy and don't the lids rust? Why wouldn't you use Tupperware or plastic containers? Also I noticed that you don't use the plastic sleeves on the mason jars, do they clink when in rough seas? I'm not being critical, I love you two, just curious. Steady on mateys!
They are heavy but they last a long time. We have yet to have a jar break on us! The lids do rust and we just replaced 12 of them that were pretty “rusty” looking. We pack them in a locker tightly and they don’t rattle, but we do put a layer of felt between the layers of jars because the layers will rattle (but not to other jars on the same layer). I never really liked Tupperware as a kid because it would eventually crack and it was a lot of plastic. The jars just work in my head and so we used them. Glass is always easier to clean in my opinion than opaque plastic that smells like spaghetti no matter how much you wash it! (My mom loves her Tupperware, maybe it’s a bit of me rebelling going on too 🤪) -Herby
@@RiggingDoctor That's a great reply! I turn into a teenager every time I stay with my parents for more than 3 days...my limit is no more than two nights. I use mason jars at home for certain things, but I have really enjoyed using my collapsible silicone storage containers with clear lids! When not in use they collapse down to next to nothing for easy and space saving storage. I just bought a set for my sailboat too, to each his own I say! Thanks for the reply Herby...
Thank you for all the tips, guys! We are just preparing ourselves for the first summer of sailing, so we need as many tips as possible. Before watching this video, I was thinking of buying some metal boxes to store sugar , flower and other stuff in the cupboard, but now I realized metal boxes might not be a wise choice ... they might get rusty ... so, mason jars are the good choice, aren't they?
This was great! I can’t wait to land a boat... just curious, how’s your tonnage/waterline/windage? The hammock, rope bumpers, and top dingy rack all seem contrary to low and light (I really have no idea and am hoping to learn)
On modern light displacement boats, weight and windage play a big role. On heavy displacement boats, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Think of it as a Ferrari vs Grandma’s Stationwagon. Weight and drag show much more on the sports car going at top speed than they do in a sturdy car going less than the speed limit.
Would love more information on your binder, table of contents and short explanation on each section. I'm also curious as to how you handle snail mail. Do you use friends, family, or a service. Awesome channel btw!
The binder is easily organized by page protector: 1st: all our entry and exit papers n chronological order 2nd: boat documentation papers on front side, insurance paper on back side 3rd: Herby credentials and passport 4th: Maddie credentials and passport 5th: (one page per crew member if you have more) After that, boat cards from people we met along the way in chronological order as well as our phone SIM cards from each country we have had a card in. As for snail mail, it all goes to my dad who opens it, and if it’s important (rarely ever is) scans it and emails it to me. For the boat documentation paper, we just hang out in a marina (this gives us an address) until the document arrives.
Interesting idea for the dinghy rack but I have a vang so limited room under the boom. If I'm day sailing I just semi deflate it and lash it upside down on the fore deck with the spondons either side of the mast. If I'm on passage I deflate it fully and lash it in front of the spray hood. Of course I can never get it deflated enough to fit it into its bag (even using the foot pump in "reverse") - any ideas? p.s. Laphroaig and Old Pulteney - fantastic! You just need a bottle of Glenmorangie and you'll be set! 😁👍
Getting all the air out of them is tricky! That’s why I buy sunbrella pieces at consignment shops for cheap and just wrap things in them to keep them protected but with more wiggle room. The cover I have over the dinghy was for a big Zodiac, the cover over the generator was a Bimini, and the cover over the stern anchor rode is a small sail bag. I just fold the dinghy up best I can and then stuff it in the rack, cover it all up and lash it down.
Nice boat hacks :) ... re:your cheap chartplotter... consider running the free OpenCPN app on a windows laptop, an android phone/tablet, or on an inexpensive Raspberry Pi... It gives you access to free charts for many countries, European inland waters, US pilot charts and all US NOAA charts (raster and vector).
Oh this was real good! You know how much I like educational videos. It reminded me of something......Herby, weren't you going to do a how to video on the rope number? Or at least get use started? Waiting on the chain plate is a really good time to do that.....🤣🤣🤣🤣 But seriously, it's a great time! Looking forward to it. Also the bread video......I haven't forgotten.
great hacks. Thank you so much. Question, for the shower hack, what did you to connect the pump hose (black) to the shower head hose (looks to be a camper shower hose and head)? This hack is great for boat, but it is great hack/backup when you lost power and want to take a shower. Your DIY and educational videos are great.
It’s actually a kitchen sprayer and the internal diameter of the white hose is the same as the external diameter of the black hose. I just slipped them in a few inches; no clamps or connectors, just friction.
We don’t use any protection for them and we have yet to have a single one break! We pack them tightly and they don’t seem to rattle but we do put a piece of felt made from recycled water bottles (it’s soft but won’t rot) between the layers of jars. This keeps them quiet as the different layers will rattle on each other more so than the jars in the same layer. We have a bunch of the felt material and if one is ever making noise, we just stuff some extra material in that locker to make it quiet. We call it “shut up cloth” 🤣 and it does the trick!
I heat the milk, then cool it, then add some old yogurt to the cooled milk and put them in mason jars in the oven with a votive candle (for heat). In 24 hours, we have fresh yogurt! The mason jars are glass and we have only had one break (I was using it to hold gasoline in the dinghy for the outboard motor and the chain I use to lock up the dinghy landed on the glass making a huge mess!
I wish I could sing like you-love your voice (do more)-but I can’t. However, I am a classical guitarist, not a ukulele-or-whatever-ist. That means my guitar is everything to my music so it’s coming onboard (but maybe not the expensive one). I guess I’ll do without other things and no, it’s not plastic, happily. And then there is the printmaking and painting studio, hmmmm....
Hah! I’m an artist too. I have all my paints and brushes on the boat and I get canvases as I go, but we can’t store paintings, so I’m only able to do commission work 😕....for now.
When you’re sailing, the boards help keep waves from coming down below. Taking them out takes away the safety, and presents the problem of “where do you put these boards while you are coming in?” One board fits in your hand so you can raise it, come in, close it. It’s fast and easy, but you need a step to get over the other two boards.
Ok, I watched the whole video and came away with the 2 most valuable hacks, always, simply ALWAYS have a beautiful lady ready to get indecent behind the curtain and never EVER wear a shirt proclaiming yourself to be a Pickle Dick!

If you paint the garden sprayer black, it will work as a solar shower. I've had one in my van for a decade

Interesting idea for the dinghy rack but I have a vang so limited room under the boom. If I'm day sailing I just semi deflate it and lash it upside down on the fore deck with the spondons either side of the mast.

Great video. Maybe you should copyright your "cockpit step". And maybe don't copyright " soft shackles, they'll make you smile". 😀
Not sure about the step. Why not just take out all the companionway boards?
When you’re sailing, the boards help keep waves from coming down below. Taking them out takes away the safety, and presents the problem of “where do you put these boards while you are coming in?” One board fits in your hand so you can raise it, come in, close it.

Didn't you have long hair last episode? Or am I going senior? 🤣
Do you mean Maddie or Herby? We both have pretty long hair here haha
