Ep.179 A New Journey Begins - Mexico
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- We begin our journey on the day we are obliged to get out of the United States. We left with a crew of 3, me the beautiful Margarida and Tim the davit man. It is not the best time of year to sail across the gulf but there are no tropical disturbances in our path so we head out. We know there is going to be little wind for the first couple of days but we have plenty of fuel and an immaculate motor with less than 1000 hours so we believe we are ok. Unfortunately the motor dies and the fun begins.

I am an Australian guy trying to live on a small footprint. I take in crew wherever I go and go where the wind takes me. I catch and gather food wherever I can.
I have no fridge or freezer, no oven, no aircon, no generator, no water heater, no watermaker ...
So if you want to see some interesting places and some interesting crew then follow me.

My experience the darker the shade the cooler you are.
You have plenty of American fans, not just the ones on that dock!! 😆
ABOUT TIME! Missed your sense of humor and watching someone that can actually sail a boat!
Alrighty, now I have 5 following that like the humour. Keep watching and keep commenting

Ahoy Plukky!🏴☠
Just wanted to say it is NOT possible for Margarida to look ugly, never never.
TRue
Had a similar problem on a delivery , Dirty fuel & wrong bluddy filters (Owner ,yeer there's 3 on board ) should have checked , Ended up having half a bucket of fuel & rinsed the 1 filter every 20 to 30 minutes ,No wind ,Got me into the next port 380 miles down the line . fair winds .
That cutter looks great on the water.
Glad to see you are back! Sorry about the crappy weather. :(
Good luck, have fun and try not to... hit... anything !
"Let the "NEW" journey begin". Good luck guys and stay "SAFE", All the very best from the 🇬🇧UK🇬🇧👍
I am so glad to see you guys are back on the water again
Cool video!!! Love ur videos!!!!!
Bill could win every Richard Branson look-alike contest out there.
Indeed
That’s a good looking boat. I like the old intro too.
Nothing but quality, bud!
I'm another American fan. Love your vids! Hang in there and best of luck.
Keep safe mate love you guys
Looks like fun to me. I would be fishing all day.
Looks like you got a few bugs to work out, but you're back on the the water! Looks like a nice boat, too.
I love the old intro. It has Nerma!!!
and Fedra!
Great to see you sailing again.
good luck shaggy, i am sure it will all work out, great video
Ha Shaggy...I like it
Could use the fuel pump (or a pump) to circulate the fuel through a filter (T shirt or ?) and back into the fuel tank scrubbing a lot of the particles out. Calm seas are great for that and 5 gal buckets are a must on any boat. They have so many uses. Of course it is nice to check and fix all of this before your first (sea trial)... sail.
Regarding the fuel consumption you can get a lower consumption by renovate or adjust the diesel nozzles, easy done by a workshop. Also check the valve clearance.
Bill, the single guy that doesn't sink boats.
Nearly blew my ears out at the end. When the music came on.
Great to see you guys back on the water, but whata piss off you got fuel issues, I am sure you have over come them by now.... All the very best from DownUnder ...... Keep well and keep safe
I like this intro. It's one of the best on the tube.
Off we go into the wild blue yonder! I know that's an Air Force song but it seems to fit here. Good to see Margarita in a bikini again.
Good luck from blighty. Looking forward to the new adventures!
Don't worry bro, wind will appear , or some other way of running that motor (which by the way sounds real solid when it's running ) - just don't find any reefs - OK :) Bound to be teething troubles on anything newly rebuilt , be it boat , car whatever
you're doing a top job mate under the circumstances. great video again.
Oh please keep the current intro. It's one of the highlights of watching your videos.
And so the story of Plukkes dodgy sailing tours continues. 😁Cheers mate 🍻
Woohoo great to see its started! So good. Looking forward to the adventure.
Love it when you talk techy...trapazoidal what? Ha ha
And there will be teething problems. Pffft. You are on the water! Dont worry be happy...
Trapezoidal rubbish thats all. Glad to see you are watching
Good oil choice ...
I wish I could have gotten over to Tampa to meet you. I live in St Petersburg FL
Lucky you have a country like Mexico you can scoot to without the bureaucratic hassles. Yachties are at the mercy of the elements, there should be some leeway.
Thumbs up to you!!!!!!!!!
Plucky goes sailing ,lol. Some things need improvement on that boat o yours ..... sure you'll get there soon as ya can ;-) Fair winds guys
Lower RPM to save fuel. Catamaran hulls are probably more economic on the fuel.
was thinking that too with the greater displacement
Hey Peter when you have Fedra in the intro how can you go wrong? Love you guys and glad to see you guys back on the aqua.
Good luck on your “NEW” old boat, Mattie’s !!!!!!!
Regarding the high diesel consumption I don't remember if you have talked about white smoke or steam from your exhaust, but if you have high consumption it can also be a blocked exhaust elbow / riser. A common sign of a blocked exhaust elbow is the engine have a hard time to take rpm. and it can't reach max rpm. eg. 3200 rpm. - if you also see white smoke when the engine is warm the cooling system is possibly clocked up at the elbow where it mixes exhaust and water.
Towards the end…engine trouble (lidisfarne band song from the 80’s,,and I know you’re not Douglas Badger…but I was thinking because I had a similar problem with my Mitzi… filter….outlet was larger than inlet after being given a service….had to go great lengths to find the problem…investigation led me to two different engine sizes and two different filters….and there ain’t much difference but the tiny difference meant the difference between getting somewhere and going nowhere. So yeah man…tiny differences mean the difference! 😉👍😎
That they do
I was really looking forward to the first video with the new boat...entertaining as always ;). Great Episode....keep ur head up, those issues will be solved dodgy style soon ;) Greetings from germany :)
Check your pickup tube from the fuel tank and fuel lines... you probably have a clog.
Yep 2 or 3 peices of silicone were sloshing around
Back on the water !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great.
Hi Bill 😍
Hi Frederina
Bill could take my mother for a coffee. She lives in Canada but I’d like to see her somewhere warmer. Thx
Match maker matchmaker make me a match.......
Nice to see you and the wife back on the water, you should write a book, shit I should have done. Bet you cleaned the water tank and left the fuel tank, she'll be right. had the same thing half way across the great australian bight, blocked injector pump full of black death.
No bacteria just silicone
Mate nothing worse then shit in the fuel, reminds me when I had my 33 footer ran out of diesel and no bloody wind and the closest port (well a port / harbor that was safe enough to sail into without bouncing across rocks and sand bars not to forget current) was 3 hours away.
Nothing wrong with barracuda. Just don't try to freeze them.
❤️😍
Headin for the Mexican border in dodgy style, love it!!
THe dodgiest
Of course you hot everyone is dressed up like you going to the opera. Just bathing suits in Florida. Well or not even anyway that is one beautiful little boat turns out. My Non you guys worked hard on it but she is just wonderful now. Makes me wish I could majicly jump on there with you guys true my little screen here. Oh enjoy God bless you guys.
No wonder you reefed the last boat
Barracudas are great eating. Problem is, they are sometimes poisonous. Ciguatera.
They smell bad and we are not risking Ciguatera
And the drama continues .. nothin' but quality!!
very dodgy, mate. The USA ought to let sailors have some leeway on leaving the country. Just have them check in weekly until they find the window they need.
He told them he was leaving on a bus from San Diego..... LOL :-)
Actuall I did. Someone gets a brownie
Hey Peter, 4.11 you had a bit of a belly on you when leaving Tampa. All that Yanky food.
I am a bit like a small gorilla with a big belly
Think that refrigerator is going to grow on you.
You were able to buy the new boat with insurance! I'm sure this took awhile!
No insurance. We took a year with some help from a good friend to get the funds
SAILING into FREEDOM Sorry! Have fun and stay safe!
yes comment below sounds like someone is have sex whilst your talking.. Glad you guys made it.. Keep it coming great watching dude! dont cut ya hair looks cool frizzy lol
what is the moaning in the background, sounds like your missus is having fun...lol
It’s the fender of the boat, the sounds comes from it getting pressed between the boat and the dock
@@dolphinble9749 at the end of the video (when they are not docked)
Bottom of tank and then a problem?Sound's like you'r fuel tank has a load of water in bottom?
3 Pieces of silicone
Hey Margarida, does your scalp get all itchy after so long? Nawal here, think the longest I went without shower my hair was 9 days and man I'd do anything by then for clean hair!!
Keep washing it in salt and then a quick wrinse in fresh
I just don't understand, sailing is so beautiful so how come it's such a pain in the ass.
Because dodgy.
No it takes a lot of money so when you dont have it, you have to make do
So you get a free U.S. documentation instead? How's that work, it ain't free for us.
No we paid for Delaware Rego
Why Delaware? The boat wasn't registered in Florida?
wow not 1 dislike awesome !
Dont worry it will come ha
I'm curious how you came across this boat ?
yatch world website I believe.
You have to keep this intro peat
I like it too. It will be hard to change it
By Italian girls...
Nice to see you sailing again but you might want to invest in an acceptable camera and mic setup, especially if you want to keep on raking Patreon and RUclips monies.
It is on the list...priority 4
Yeah..barracuda…bit like pike….not very enjoyable on the palate!
Did you guys run over someone ? That morning in the back ground
What happens in middle of the ocean stays there.
Lucky Tim, bob. Whatever.
At the end of the video....whats that moaning sound in the background? LOL
I'm glad some one else noticed that during the last solo blog Plucky made ! Ahhh Ohhhh Meg Ryan on board ?!
I don’t know but strangely enough I’m interested to see what was going on! LOL
hahahaha. i thought i was crazy for a minute there.
Have you guys ever been on a sailboat before? Everything makes noise even in the slightest breeze/wave. That sounds to me like the boom moving around. :)
I thought you were letting Tim Bang the wife. lol
Did you have insurance on the catamaran?
No...ran out of money the year before when I got separated.. it wouldnt have mattered anyway because my insurance company doesn't insure in alot of areas any more
Because it was a custom cat and not a production cat, my insurance premium was 4 times the price than a less well built production cat...go figure...it was crippling...it was like rent per week
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM I get it, have been doing the taxes, maintenance fee, utilities for a long time, probably until I am six feet under. I think what you guys are doing takes a lot of guts, and know how. My biggest fear would be sinking with no escape. But I suppose that is the price for finding paradise. You two seem to make a really nice couple. Best wishes always on your adventures. I have become enamored by all the places you go and the experiences you encounter. Do it while your young and strong.
@Superduper DavidMiorgan Its true, if it is big money it would be worthwhile having an attorney represent you. I dont care for lawyers but they can be worth it when it counts in a situation when playing the insurances game is no good going it alone.i.
@Superduper DavidMiorgan It sounds like we have had different experiences with attorneys. They do charge a lot but depending on what they can do for you determines their worth.
The next one will be another cat, right mate?
When POwerball comes around
Alguien habla espanol?
tu
Margarida
es rusa
Yet to see what happened after you wrecked the boat....definitely losing interest...next...
