I am designing a fantastic sailing vessel in my head. This video has firmed up plans for the helm enclosure. Thank you for the real life experience of having a good helm enclosure.
I was watching a video by 22 North and saw where you were involved some good deeds while you were in Indonesia. Was nice to see all of you all getting together and helping the people.
Hi Don. Sure you don't mean 22 South? ;) Seeing the devastation in Lombok after the earthquake was heartbreaking. Kimi and Trevor get lots of credit for making the project happen and we felt pretty honored to be a part of such a cool group of cruisers.
@@OutChasingStars That's why there are millions of dollars in treasure still laying on the ocean floor.....yeah...use all your technology possible in the shallow reef areas....tides coming in/ out. I'm not a sailor, but owned a 27 pwer boat on Lake St. Clair in Michigan for 5 years. St.Clair is a very shallow lake also. Many stories of boaters hitting sand bars doing 40 mph....yikes!!!
I prefer rain to Sun shine. I guess difference is what makes life interesting. Bad weather for me is a sunny day witch is sad because in Central Queensland that's pretty much all we get. So many channels don't show the good weather so thanks. It's nice to see that it does still know how to do it.
I grew up in Seattle in the US. If you didn't play outside in the rain, you didn't play outside! But for sailing, consistent weather is better than squalls always rolling in and messing with the wind. That's when it gets annoying.
We always fly the flag of our host country off the starboard spreader and then the US flag of the stern. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Australian Naval Ensign red?
@@OutChasingStars Here's the guff on the Australian flag for maritime use. www.ausflag.com.au/red_ensign_2.asp I'm sure it doesn't matter, though. It was just a comment! You still produce good videos. Don't take this to heart! :)
I love your videos and don't miss a one. This is another good one. I am currently relaxing in my Out Chasing Stars t-shirt on the island of Bequia in the Grenadines. I was drawn to this island after seeing it on a video. Because of the videos, my wife and I are expanding our circles in search of adventure. In 2019 we will spend a week in Ireland, two weeks in either Fiji or Rarotonga and then two weeks over Christmas and New Years back here in Bequia. That brings me to the question, should it be Fiji or Rarotonga? Why did you select the one you did over the other? Safe sailing! Greg
It sounds you had the perfect way to ring in the new year! ;) The year we crossed the Pacific, we were moving incredibly fast. We went from Panama in March to New Zealand in late November. That's a lot of miles! And it meant we had to make choices about where to stop and spend time. We had heard some not so great things about the Cook Islands (expensive, difficult areas to cruise with regulations etc...) so we decided to skip them. Friends who stopped there were somewhat hit or miss on them so we're not terribly upset we sailed passed them. But Fiji... we loved Fiji so much that we decided to do a 2nd year in the S. Pacific. The islands are beautiful, the people are friendly and the water is clear. We'd go back in a heartbeat!
I could have sworn that I filmed me talking about turning the squelch up and how it didn't stop the noise. But when making the video, that clip was no where to be found. :(
We spent almost as much time trying to figure out how to add a dive compressor as we did planning our lithium install. The compressor we wanted (a Bauer) wouldn't fit in the engine compartments and I was unwilling to put it up forward as SH was already a bit bow heavy from moving the batteries. That meant the only place we could find to put it would have been under the helm where the cockpit fridge is currently. We would have had to rip that out, build a shelf for the compressor and then fix all the fiberglass. The quote we got for all that work would have filled a LOT of dive tanks, so we decided to hold off until we were really ready to commit to diving all the time.
@@thomasn3766 Yes, a lot of people do, but not using the engines is probably easier. The only thing is can their battery bank handle the time it would take to fill a tank?
Allyn Onderdonk Guess so, as they have two engine compartments on a catamaran. And it would be fearly easy to installing a fix air intake too with a good sized butterfly valve to prevent salty air in it when not used. Just a normal flexible air duct hose, and a ribon inlet on the inside toward the cockpit aria. And it will work darn good...
@@OutChasingStars The Bauer JUNIOR II is 42 inchesx 19 inches x 23inches in electric according to their website. The Davy SCU100 is is 17.72 inches high x 29.6 inches wide x 14.2 inches deep. From what I hear it is reliable. 220v, but I imaging you could change the motor out for an equal hp in 110volts, but I think they have a 110 volt model. I have a friend with this model, and he is insane about the oil and filters. It takes 20w50 and you need to change it like every 50 to 100 hours of operation, and look after the air filters. He thinks he's put 1000-2000 hours on it with no issues. The 220 volt model.

Thank god your safe
Boat work yeah 🤗 happy New Year guys and your followers too. Thanks and best from HKG 🇭🇰
The boat work never ends! 😁

The full enclosure is one of our favorite features about our boat!
very good, now you have experience to replace water maker membranes ))
Wonderful seeing you guys again.

Out Chasing Stars your right. Never could get my directions correct.
Wishing you a sensational new year !!!
I bet you’re glad to have the full cockpit enclosed for all the rain squalls..
Having a full cockpit exposure was the best piece of advice we got when we were outfitting the boat. We're quite thankful we listened to it!
Happy New Year! Wishing you great marine adventures!
Like how you added footage date 👍
Haha, glad _someone_ notices the date. :)
Happy New Year !
beware of the reef! another great video from OCS
Sailors say it's not a matter of if, but when you run aground... But I'd much prefer nice soft sand to the reef! :)

It's so confusing on other channels with editing behind real time. Nice to know the season etc
It's actually very important to know the season as it dictates pretty much everything on a circumnavigation.
Interesting that you're flying the Australian naval ensign ... Good video!

Look for SV Nanji two Aussie crew in Indinasia headed to Malaysia .
Bravo Amy let David know who’s in charge! 🤣 David I loved the water maker membrane part, now I know how it looks like! Thank you guys 🙏🏼
There's a reason Amy is listed as the Admiral! ;)
What you meant to say was “Can you get my jacket please”...right?
Haha, when Amy is cold, there's no time for please! :)

Such a shame to have had sooo much Grey rainy weather for your trip up what is really a spectacular coastline of reefs and islands.
Yeah, we were pretty bummed. It was high on our wish list to explore the Great Barrier Reef, but the weather just did not want to cooperate. ☹️
turn the squelch up
I could have sworn that I filmed me talking about turning the squelch up and how it didn't stop the noise. But when making the video, that clip was no where to be found. :(
You should have bought a dive compressor before leaving Australia.
We spent almost as much time trying to figure out how to add a dive compressor as we did planning our lithium install. The compressor we wanted (a Bauer) wouldn't fit in the engine compartments and I was unwilling to put it up forward as SH was already a bit bow heavy from moving the batteries.

The quote we got for all that work would have filled a LOT of dive tanks, so we decided to hold off until we were really ready to commit to diving all the time.
Oh if you do put a dive compressor in your engine bay...um...don't allow exhaust or fumes to be pulled into your running dive compressor.
Can always put the inlet hose of the air compressor, outside the engine room when using it, Right?
@@thomasn3766 Yes, a lot of people do, but not using the engines is probably easier. The only thing is can their battery bank handle the time it would take to fill a tank?

Installing in the engine compartment was something we seriously talked about, but the Bauer model we were looking at wouldn't fit. :(

QLD Beautiful one day perfect the next. What a joke.

Haha, I'm always open to more help convincing her to pick up the camera. :)
