  • We are in our first port of the cruise, in beautiful Roatan, Honduras. And one thing we love about cruising with Carnival is that they own the port of Mahogany Bay here... and there is a beautiful beach that you can enjoy completely for FREE!
    We enjoy the morning on a quiet ship as most people have disembarked into the port, have a nice lunch and then get off ourselves and head to the beach. This is a beautiful port! It is laid out nicely and is very well landscaped and manicured. There is a nice walking path to the beach and even a nature trail which we decided to take this time. Once at the beach, we grab a couple of loungers in the shade and take a dip in the cool Caribbean. All while we can view our ship nearby. This is a perfect relaxing day in port!!

    This was our first cruise port. Our budget was thiiiiiiiight and this free beach gave us life. It was $12pp for the ski left that was the only money we spent and the photos and views were life changing

    First, LOVE your videos! 2nd, you are knocking on the door to that silver play button! Welcome to the club!!!! 3rd The wind turbine question. Wind turbines are built with a braking system to control the blades from runaway. The brakes will slow the turbine when there is too much wind to operate the unit safely and can also lock the blades to a stop is need be. If the turbine is also taken OFFLINE meaning it isn't needed to produce power for the grid it is on, you will also see them at a stand still. 👊

    • @iiKenTroN
      @iiKenTroN 2 года назад

      Right^ Power businesses don't want to over load systems or over spend creating power. so they only buy the cheapest power available to meet the load for the day

  • @indylaura99
    @indylaura99 2 года назад +13

    Wind turbines can stop turning their blades due to a variety of factors including wind speeds that are too fast or too slow and extreme weather conditions. The turbines will stop themselves from spinning if they cannot get any energy from the wind or if their blades will be damaged by a movement that is too rapid. They also stop them to do maintenance.

    Ok, how many people watched Jason try to spread his toes and then tried it themselves? LOL! I did! Mine don't spread much, but a little more than yours, Jason. Too funny! Hope the shoulder heals quickly and you're back in action soon!

  • @jasonbrown4112
    @jasonbrown4112 2 года назад +9

    If there's too much wind speed, windmills can shut down operation to avoid damage. So, if it's really windy, it may be too windy for them to operate safely. That's one possible explanation.

    • @angelaritter6475
      @angelaritter6475 2 года назад +2

      I figured it had more to do with the lack of infastructure to support the power it actually generates.

    • @laurad.2154
      @laurad.2154 2 года назад +1

      I don't know about the ones in Rotaan but the wind farms near us usually only run up to about half of the windmills at a time, and the running ones aren't producing at full capacity. It varies depending upon the amount of wind, the amount of juice in the batteries, and the maintenance schedule of the windmills. But the power cables are too old and too few to carry all the power from the wind farm to where the power is going to be used.

  • @mrbit10
    @mrbit10 2 года назад +10

    Windmills not spinning ~ either too much wind, maintenance or at electric capacity for the expected output. Port looks beautiful, one of the few i have not been along the gulf routes.

    I just found your channel today & have been watching some of your recent cruise videos & older packing videos!! Loving them so far, but a bit jealous about not being able to cruise yet.. we had ours canceled quite a few times over the past 2 years and lost a deposit once because we couldn't get a cruise rescheduled. But we still want to go again soooo bad!!
    I have been on 2 Carnival cruises. On the 2nd one I should have spent the day in Roatan the same way you did, relaxing on the beach. Instead I was slip-sliding all over the muddy trails from the rain we had when we arrive... on the ATV through the jungle excursion!!! Had a blast even after my muddy hands slipped off both sides of the the handlebars & my ATV went one way & I went the other!! Took home a beauty of a hand-sized bruise on my thigh but had a blast & was just worried about damaging their ATV!! They said it was fine & were super anxious & very worried I was hurt, until I assured them I was completely fine, just a bit muddier from the mudhole I landed in lol (I didn't know about the bruise until that night and over the next 2 weeks as it changed colors!) Sometimes it happens since they give each person their own ride and let a tomboy Mom who hasn't driven the ATV herself before have free rein to get muddy lol

    All modern wind turbines are are set to stop turning automatically if there's too much energy in the wind. ... The reason turbines shut down like this is for safety - if the wind is too fast it can put major stress on the blades and mechanisms inside the turbine causing lots of friction and long term damage.

    The windmills are not spinning because it is probably too windy. They can only spend so fast once the wind reaches a certain speed an automatic brake is engaged.
