Get rid of that shackle 7:19 before something or someone gets broken or hurt. Use a Crosby G-335 ‘missing link’ instead of the shackle!!!
What he said. 😀
Toilet explanation was great!! When you grabbed the oil I thought you were going to say drink some to soften your dump!! 😂😂😂😅
One of the best videos yet! Wish I knew more people like you. Thanks
Staying positive is a plus. When I’m negged out (for no reason) I forget to enjoy life & everything sucks! Thanks for the reminder Doug!
Doug, one step you overlooked, when you start the outboard engine, VERIFY that coolent water is coming out before taking off. It doesn'ttake long to ruin the impeller.
Typically its a matter of seconds. If water isn't coming out and you notice its not, and shut off the engine, the impeller is likely already damaged.
And the gascap doesn't need to be loosey goosey, just leave the gas cap vent open,
@@TheWibbo Thanks to our government they are now one-way valves.
Yawn it will last alot more then a few seconds. How many impellers have you changed?
After watching from the ROV days till now and all the cool things and years of excitement I will say the start of this video got me excited to go on this boat even more than ever before can't wait!!
After working on work boats for years now I can tell you that the only thing a experienced captain fears is a noise that he doesn't recognize. 😂
Drop a pen on the floor and he'll jump out of his chair.
You are so right. Charlie taught me that and now I find myself waking up any any new sound.
My sailing knowledge is somewhat lacking..way lacking, unfortunately. I am 70/proud Mom of one great son & a goat/🐐💤 tired old pitbull named Smokey. Wish I was young & Smokey was brand new..We would have the best attitude..My personal best wknd was fishing off Catalina..caught me a barracuda..it kicked my butt, but Davey Jones guys helped me reelemin..been wishin' i was fishin' ever since..
sail on!!!!
I've watched all videos I think since the folding of the hull for a few reasons.
1- the ingenuity to solve problems.
2- the explanation on how things can be done or how they work.
3- (most important) your theory on how to deal with bureaucracy and idiots.
if folks abided by the first 1 minute and a half of this video the world would pretty much be fixed
It still amazes me, that you devoted the largest part of the bellow deck to cargo/work space.That's dedication, can't wait to see Seeker participating in some science project!
Headed that way. : )
It's awesome how you explain things right to the task with care what a great captain
Outstanding .. Same with everyday work ethics ..wich is lacking nowadays...
It’s videos like this that remind us just how much thought and work went into this boat. Thank you so much for allowing us the privilege of sharing in this experience.
What an awesome boat!
I agree about the requirement for a positive attitude and I think a strong curiosity is an equal requirement.
O yes, 90% of the job is getting along with you crew. Positive vibes is a must!
4th General order: To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own. Or in this case repeat all calls from the pilothouse to ensure proper communication. Semper
I should have made a video for the folks that came on my boat. I love it!
Doug, I absolutely loved the sound of the anchor drop. Music to my ears.
anchor protocol should probably be a 2 crew procedure. ... one "on" the chain , and one at the winch motor. A little communication and stress free anchoring.
It depends on the conditions. I do it alone most of the time.
Love your philology .
It just woks
My thought of the day . If I can get up in the morning and I’m not in the Obituary then it’s going to be a good day !!!
When I was welding off of a spud barge they had those type of heads on the tug I would always get a bucket go to the engine room then throw it over in the Wheel Wash
Have you ever seen anybody after 5 gallons of Wheel Wash we sent this kid off of with a 5 gallon bucket soon as it hit the water he ran straight off the back of the boat that set his epirb off and man did the Coast Guard have a field day with us
On my boat we had the same poo problem. I installed a poo grinder just down stream of the head hole. They make them that are either electric or manual. We had on of each, and they worked great. Oh they only grind poo and poo paper. It might be something to look into.
LOL : )
What happened to the anchor line? It's all chain now?
I think I've changed it four or five times. For now, I like the Dyneema on the second anchor because I can float it over the first anchor if the wind switches. And I'll likely experiment a lot more with it so don't get stressed about it. : )
I've been watching you for a while and I know I gets old when I keep saying how impressive the craftsmanship is on your ship that wood work aloe is awesome 😎👍
I thought you were three sheets to the wind on the first video, turns out my playback speed was 75% I'm glad this video with only take .5x1x.75/1 the amount of time to watch
: ) I don't even drink.
@@SVSeeker if you go and listen to yourself saying "get off my boat" at 3/4 speed, you might see what i mean :D
Sounds like simple life to me, life on Seeker seems pretty simple!
Very Redundant!
Not looking for adventure in my life!
Take in every minute!
Enjoy the adventure!
Thanks
Captain!
Cool nearly 22.30 here in the Uk
Cheers Doug really nice introduction into all the different things we’ve seen you and a fantastic crew build over the years. All the best
Glad you enjoyed it
No need for the paper hammock. Just fill the bowl with a couple inches of water before you sit down. Also helps with the smell 😅
One day I'll be on that boat
Love your videos while I’ll probably never get abound seeker due to living in Canada with major health condition means travel abroad has to be taken very seriously but if you ever find yourself off the coast of eastern Canada and gonna make port it might be fun to make a trip to said port to meet you all you say can be taken as life lessons on board a boat or not.
Do I have to have a key to run the crane? I sure enjoyed the gangway operation.👍
No. Just an on/off button. Why would you want a key?
Hi Doug what size crew do you have most of the time. And how often do you change the crew. I did enjoy the video very well done and thanks for sharing
Hey Doug, 16:45 That black nut on the top of the cap is the breather. Tighten the gas cap fully and loosen that breather screw so the gas thank can vent. Hope this helps!
Not any more. Those are one way now. You can thank our government.
@@SVSeeker
More Craziness from our government .Un real !
I've lived my life by the first three. I'll study this info until it's down pat. What's the procedure for signing aboard? One suggestion to the intro. When you hear a bell, horn, a crash or a shudder, or the followingl call. All Hands On Deck. Stop everything and go topside
Im an Australian but id love to come on the boat ive been watching your videos for a long time and I've been around boats my whole life I have a coxswain licence to drive boats myself but I would love to come on board
Make sure you have an orientation Make a watch the ten years it take you to build it as well
Doug .Sounds good.When can I start ?
I would join you if not for my wife and kids 😅 what a great accomplishment that is an amazing ship
An after thought. A line has a purpose. Rope is what lines are made from. and don't cut the line if you can untie the knot.
tkzz for sharing.,.,.,.peace
Quick question can I yell dropping anchor while using the head ?
Hey Doug, I would like to see more about the crane if you have the time, please 🙏
I have several videos about rebuilding it. Is that what you want? ruclips.net/video/deArcJtDvhs/видео.html
All rookies/newbies get there own paint bucket and brushes.
One thing I been waiting to see, was How do I get invited?
Hey Doug? Would it be worth it to move/add the forward/reverse controls on the anchor winch to the bulwark next to the chain lock so one person operating doesn’t have to hop back to the winch in case of binding? Something like the hydraulic control from a log splitter?
Maybe, but they are needed close to the capstan most of the time because you have to keep tension on the line and control the capstan.
@@SVSeekersorry if its been asked and answered before, but have you seen/considered alternative anchor chain couplers? Something like a RUD dominator?
@@HansolControl Yes, but those are too big to go under my rollers.
Maybe just a stop lever to disengage motion so as to not shear the pin. Knowing how to operate the mechanism is still the best safety feature though, and more bits are more bits to break/cause problems.
@@SVSeekerThey also make the UKS which is designed to be the same size as the links and run through chain rollers, but I don’t know how well the locking mechanism would hold up to being submerged.
Anyways. Great videos as always!
That vegetable oil thing? I wonder if that wouldn’t be a good idea to lubricate my valves on my RV? Black tank especially I’ve never thought of that.
One project would be lots of weather proof easy to read labels (in two languages ?)
Sure. I need 549 labels that say Pipe and 1234 that say Wire.
@@SVSeeker I don't see it that way. Labels are just another form of communication. Obviously you know your boat inside and out, but not everyone will. It's rough weather you're incapacitated with ?? .. food poisoning, seasickness, what ever, the more people can see , what things are , what they do, how there used the "smoother", safer the boat and your crew will be.
@@radiusnorth1675 Better learn what you're looking at or keep me alive.
Hi Doug,
Nicely done training video.
One possible omission? Unless you don't intend to use it when under way, I think you forgot to mention to set the chain lock at the end of the section about raising the anchor?
That is done or not done bases on where we are. There is a great non-fiction book "Island of the lost" where they got screwed not having their anchor ready to release.
On my bareboat trips, i tell the crew to bring butt wipes and we do not by all means flush them! We dispose of them in a ziplock bag. This greatly reduces the amount of potentially pipe clogging toilet paper used. Just a thought.
Your vids are awesome! On your "shitty"part of the brief. After 7 years of living aboard cruising (we are currently in New Caledonia) we collect the toilet paper in a small trash can and dispose of in the trash or out at sea and have never had 1 problem with our pump head and our electric head. As far as smell goes, after flushing with salt water your head will smell, guaranteed no mater how much cleaner you flush down. We plumb our sink drains into a small holding tank and use the sink waste water to flush the head, recycling. Bleach and the inside parts of your Jabsco head do not work well together over the long run ( attacks the rubber parts). Vinegar poured into the head once a week and let sit for 30-60 minutes then flushed cleaning the head naturally, then follow up by flushing a cap full of cooking oil to lubricate all the plastic and rubber parts in the head. I look forward to every post!, Tom
Noticed on a few vids now when under sail the water deffo goes over the portholes, not a problem with them shut, and saw your comments re LEAVE THEM SHUT but did you expect originally the water to be a bit lower, or was it a " o yea keep them shut then" thype thing ! ?
Where does the toilet pump out to?
Holding tank
You really need Betsy to come down and give us her best airline stewardess routine. it'd be better than any of the safety/induction videos I've seen I'm sure
And that boys and girls is how you operate a nuclear reactor.
NO WATER BOTTLES YOU WORM LMAO
Love the Seeker Academy Training.....The pumpkins must pass their SAT's before boldly going with Capt Doug.
Is your poop video copyrighted?
Love to use it😊!
Where are you sailing to first?
In circles while I learn to sail. : )
How do you dispose non-biodegradable garbage?
I only have one question. Do you have MOB procedure onboard either posted in the wheelhouse or appropriate places?
No. And I'm sure as hell not going to put a card on the wall. MOB is something will will drill.
@@SVSeeker , Well, excuse the hell out of me. I simply asked "do you have". I sure didn't expect that response.
@@dennisbaecht7860 Of for fuck sake. Did you take offense to that? What are you twelve?
😂
@@SVSeeker , Not hardly. No I'm not 12, I'm a 20 year US Navy Veteran.
the D shackle on the anchor chain, would a hammer lock shackle be better? more of a pain if its a regular thing you disconnect ?
Ha ha, shit like a cow, so, spewing in it is ok?
nice intro for the real basics of the vessel, Job well done, thanks for all the great information for future crews, which may just include myself one day.
Glad you liked it!
The only thing I can think of is what to do in an emergency of heaven forbid abandoning ship, that pray to Poseidon is never used.
24:00 Be me, I am gonna take a swim. Logs of the hardwood type flote up, clean up get back on boat.
My mans out here sea dumpin
It's probably worth mentioning if they are going to be sick in the things not to put in the head
I remember that day me and you went to Tulsa Chain so I could get a set of 4 tyre chains for my car. That place had everything you could imagine. I got a set of heavy duty Snow/Mud chains for my car and they shipped them out to me. Still got them. Hanging on a big hook over in Dave`s workshop where we build trailers and bike racks out in Kent....good days....
Have you used them jake?
@@crazylogie1272 Yes, my sisters place in Sth Wales. I can proper recommend them. We had a picnic in the welsh natinol park with the kids. It rained and I put them on to get back along the dirt track which was now 4-6in of mud/slush. Good stuff to have on hand....
@@jakobrebeki what national park was that?
@@crazylogie1272 As I said the Welsh National Park. The chains were built not just for snow but mostly mud and slush. Where my sister lives during the winters one light sprinkle of rain means instant bog....
@@jakobrebeki I Google Welsh national park there is a bunch it looks like?
Doug, seriously man. If someone sees something on your boat that looks out of place. Just make sure they have to show two crew about the incident. One of the crew should really be adding it to the daily ship's log. This data needs to be saved for the future. The day might come where you might not know everything about your own ship on a day by day basis.
When you say a command, right full rudder, whoever is at the wheel, right full rudder aye aye, you always repeat what officer of the deck is telling you to do, common sense
positive attitude = some marijuana. it will solve communication problems to, lol 😂😂😂😂
Perhaps, but only in your version of reality.
You need to show where the bottled water is kept
Very educational, for normal poo make a poo nest, if you're producing something more like logs, have a poo knife. Thank you
(Sorry, interesting video, could not resist)
You got it. But don't tell me the stories.
@@SVSeeker Haha okay, I won't, I'll be on my own with this one! :)
Poo knife. 😂
Turd cutter
🤠👍
make sure the engine is peeing that means the water pump is in order and you are ready to proceed
Not even one pumpkin mentioned😄
Really? Well, there is reason for a Part 3 right there. : )
You must be having a lot of "peeps " who should be in a cry closet lmao
What about the weed, is that allowed on seeker? I have skills and would love to be crew one day? Also its medicine i am perscribed
Sort of depends if your stoned most of the day or not.
That is the quarkiest boat in existence. You'll be lucky if you can remember everything in the near future, let alone anyone else. Label your control panel.
It is labeled. But it wont help you if you don't have the background needed.
Too many people don't use the "Safety kill cord" . It could save your life. One Cruiser was ran over by the Dingy,Very Bad.
We use it when needed.
