    The Lady Margaret seems a grand lady. I know about 'time spent' waiting in Port Nelson. Years ago, on a passage from Akaroa to Nelson, then to Auckland, we had magic weather down through French Pass, but all hell broke loose entering Tasman Bay. We detoured to Oyster Bay, cooked a feed and sat it out. Discretion is always wise. Excellent video, well done, lads. Great food is the answer to a passage.

    What a fantastic crossing of “ The Ditch “, well done fellas. Who ever that was who stepped down onto the platform at water level at the stern, YOU NEED TO HAVE A LIFE JACKET ON its essential for your safety and life, especially when you’re out on the wide open ocean. Great video, that guys!!!!!

    I'm a novice at navigation, but find it fascinating. The vision at 19m 17s threw me when, on day two, you had a heading of 133º. What!?
    Clearly, I'm missing something . . . that or you were going the wrong way.
    A marvellous boat and a marvellous adventure, keep it up. Looking forward to the next legs.

    Great looking ship. I'm a real sucker for aft wheelhouse's. Having done the Tasman under power and sail , I understand the opportunity of ' weather window's. We were delayed in a yacht once by customs waiting for an export number .. ended up middle of June and the middle of the Tasman doing a 360% roll over, and two 180 knock downs , torn chainplates , bent boom etc.. hyperthermia was a real problem .
    Yeah , I'd do it again probably 😂.
    Well done boys, lovely ship .

    As a fellow mariner I think you did a great job, well done. Surprised at how little fuel you used. Could have made it back without refueling. Got at yammer on my boat burns 1.5 litres an hour, great engines . Gonna check my diesel heater out before I use it next time. 😍. Good luck on your next adventure.

    • @Un-guided
      @Un-guided  28 дней назад

      Thank you very much, it helps having great crew who are experienced and know how to act calm in the rough. It was a combined effort but was made possible by having a great vessel to be on. Yanmars are excellent motors and I've never had an issue with them before. The diesel heater exhaust issue was fixed by Issac and his great stainless fabrication skills. It was a design fault from original not having a sleeve to stop the exhaust from heating up. Stay tuned for the next episode coming out in a weeks time

  • @davidbrayshaw3529

    I only just heard the one about bananas being bad luck. My son took a handful aboard on the recent Melbourne-Devenport race. And they did have bad luck! The high current side of the starter solenoid welded itself into the on position which proved to be problematic, as you can imagine.
    So, lesson number 1): If you take bananas on board, you get the blame for everything that goes wrong.
    Lesson number 2): It's probably a lore from a different time which if not adhered to for superstitious reasons should be considered when stowing fresh fruit and vegetables. Ripening bananas
    emit a gas that will ripen/rot everything in close proximity. So, if you are going to ignore "the Gods" and put your faith in science, know that you have to keep your bananas well away from other fresh fruit and vegetables. Thanks for the content and welcome to Australia.

    • @Un-guided
      @Un-guided  22 дня назад +2

      Haha that's a fantastic story. The superstition surrounding bananas comes from when ships would have the other produce spoil from storing it with bananas making their other fruits and vegetables riping to soon. I do enjoy a banana cake though! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and telling your yarn.

    ...you jammy b#*@%*!%s getting the Tasman like that!! - haha, well done waiting until the weather pattern was bang on - I helped crew a 125-foot Camper and Nicholson Motoryacht back to NZ a few years ago, (the tail end of a stalled ex tropical and stuffed stabilizers later.......) we surfed our way into the Bay of Islands. Great series mate, and the years hiatus was worth the wait! Looking forward to seeing your next trip. PS: You're also spot on re good crewmates - we laughed and spewed all the way across on our trip!

    • @Un-guided
      @Un-guided  29 дней назад +1

      That would've been such an epic vessel to be on. How long did it take to cross? The year hiatus has been because of leveling up at school doing extra skippers tickets. So definitely some very interesting stories are coming. The good crew you speak of are also apart of even more future adventures. We've got a great team together and also we can all cook very well hahahah. I appreciate the wait and kind comments, I really appreciate it a lot!

    This just popped up in my feed, so I'm enjoying it sitting on a dry, soft, warm, comfortable lounge having a few bourbon n coke... armchair skipper with experience 😉
    Enjoyed the blokes having a blast tone, and the rustic authentic video vibe.
    Going to.share with a heap of mates, then go back and watch ya channel as I finish off the bottle of Jim.
    Welcome back to Oz, old girl.
    If you n the crew end up near the Gold Coast, reach out, be good to see the old girl.

    A couple of questions popped up while watching ... What would your speed be with sails only? Also, do you always run the engine even with sails up? I do love the engine sound but at times one has to ask :)

    • @Un-guided
      @Un-guided  17 дней назад +2

      Hi Mikael, the sails only added stability and without engine we would be lucky to get 5 knots. it did help give us an extra knot or 2 when under way with the engine and it did help take the load off. the sound of the engine is reassurance and music to the ears of commercial fisherman such as myself, I call it music! thanks for the questions and I will give more detail on this topic in the next video as we head from Lakes Entrance to Hobart. best thing is to subscribe so you don't miss out on the unfolding story!
