Oh my gosh I absolutely love that scripture right on It came true praise God. Im so happy you were able to get that Beautiful gift for $150 that is amazing. Please tell Sonia that I think she is beautiful and that I said hi. As always, I can’t wait to see next week’s video. PeaceAndLove Lori
Hi Lori! We received your gift ❤️ we are so grateful, thank you so very much the $100 is going to go towards something fantastic to honor the fantastic Lori. So awesome! Will pass on your regards to Sonya and we send our best back to you. Glad you’re still enjoying the videos! Best wishes, peace and love!
Hello, how about you start the engine when you operate the anchor winch, to charge the battery or keep it charged. Love your boat and your adventures. Don’t forget to mouse your anchor shackles with ss wire.
Hey mate, thanks for the ideas! We do always have the inboard running when anchoring for that reason but to also use the motor to push the boat over the anchor rather than using the winch to draw the boat forward. This takes lots of load off the winch and is a good practice I learnt from watching others on YT and sailing books. What I figured out was that the alternator needs to be seeing high revs to output a current that is sufficient to charge the start battery and then in turn our battery in the bow for the windlass. I’ve now also done away with the swivel and moused the shackle! Cheers mate, Josh
A friend listened to exactly this type of exchange some years back and couldn't believe the patience demonstrated by the warship (this was a Canadian one.) I actually contacted the CO of the ship we both had a great laugh to find out that it was all an exercise. The captain of the ship to be hailed and boarded had specific instructions to be as difficult as possible and throw up every excuse (and insult) possible to get the crew of the warship ready to experience the same thing on active station. In real life however, I've found that there is no need for such patience. The ship being boarded is going to get boarded - they can fight it (unadvisable) or co-operate. Once you are a VOI (Vessel of Interest) they will generally wait until they have you in waters where they have full authority (and permission) to board and the amount of discussion will actually be pretty short.
Wow awesome to hear this! That could quite possibly be the same situation we heard over the radio. The reality is left to imagination for now. Cheers, Josh
You guy's are awesome, totally real, someone who I can relate to you both. Wish I could have a boat too, maybe knowing the unknown, scares me. Following my dad living/working/sailing on millionaire yachts inspires me. Fair wind's and take care. Andy.
Hey Andy awesome comment mate thanks for the love! Chase your dreams mate, you can still fail at doing what you don’t want so may as well try what it is you dream of. Fair winds my friend, Josh
Very nice rework of the intro Peobe. I know I know......hair? Keep the hair Pheobe, no matter how much Josh finds around the boat. Losing the anchor truly sucks, I'm glad someone could lend a hand. Top stuff. I really look forward to your videos. Stay safe. ❤🙏
The Navy Vessel was probably Australian Navy Cape Class Patrol Boat 'ADV Cape Inscription 320'. It is based out of Cairns. It is crewed by Australian Navy and Australian Border Force. They contact all ships/boats that they encounter, usually asking Boat name, Destination, Departure port, Crew numbers etc. They have the right to board if they suspect something is illegal or the information is suspect. They protect Australian fishing zones, Illegal immigrants and smuggling. I spent 20 years in the Australian Navy.
Hey Greg thanks so much for your insight based off years of experience. Its awesome mate, thanks for your service. There were War Games happening around that time in Aus too so plenty of extra navy vessels around it would have been very interesting to be a part of. Cheers mate, Josh
I was mates with an Australian Navy Officer and he would often tell me it’s nearly impossible to patrol the entire coast of Australia. Nevertheless, technology has come a long way.😅
Im not sure if it's been said to you yet but takng the time to "Mouse" all your shackles is time well spent, no shackle is safe from being "worked" free.. spend a couple of minutes of every day checking all shackles, rigging tensions, cars etc etc..Keep on having fun.
wire lock your anchor shakle for sure. Make a chain stopper or a bridle like setup attached to your bow cleat that can be used to take the weight off the windlass, provide the tension you want and provide 2 connections to the anchor while it is up. I have also used a loose version of this on smaller boats as a safety precaution and have not lost one yet. where you have setup the safety chain in the video will be dificult to use and may get in the way of the anchor as it is used you are better off setting somthing up inboard behind the anchor to somthing desinged to take the force like your bow cleat.
Hey James thanks for you two cents! Anchor shackle has been moused and I have come up with a system to tie the anchor up hard into the bow roller but always looking to improve. Cheers for the support mate, Josh
In regards to the rubber piece from the one way valve that looked really distorted and softer than I would expect, some rubber compounds will react like that to petroleum products and others to oils. Just a thought with the spill fuel from Jerry can
Another great episode. Shame about losing the anchor - but you needed an upgrade anyway as it had dragged a lot before! Swivels are terrible and should never be part of your anchoring system, completely unnecessary and liable to failure. If the anchor locks into coral and you pull sideways on the swivel they have very little strength. And as you found out the bolts have a habit of working loose. You can tape over the bolt heads which helps but not worth it. You definitely do want to take the load off your anchor winch as otherwise any movement in the system as you pound into waves works the same section of the gearbox all the time and you will damage the gearbox teeth over time. I would suggest a short length of cord tied on up forward, pass the free end through the normal attachment point of the anchor once hoisted and then back to your deck cleat or back to the base of the winch. Tie this up nice and tight and then back off the winch to have the chain just loose. That is a second attachment on your anchor so you won't lose it again and an easy way to take the load off the winch that you can undo and retie quickly. I know you're behind in your videos, so likely you have already gone this way, much friendlier than chain and shackles out on the body of the anchor. Keep on having fun!
Yep couldn’t agree more a swivel will never return into our anchoring system! I’ve tried a few different techniques for tying off the anchor the greatest challenge is how far the shank comes back and getting a point to tie to from there. Once we settle on our dream anchor aboard Innerbloom I’ll likely modify our bow roller to facilitate a snug fit when stowed that will minimise any potential for flogging in rough weather. Combine that with tying off, we shouldn’t have that same issue again. 😁 Cheers mate, Josh
I’d wire wrap the anchor shackle. I’m speaking from experience that shackles you would need to cut off they’re so tight will unscrew themselves and donate your anchor to Poseidon.
Absolutely agree with you here! Our swivel had counter sunk bolts leaving no option for a mouse wire. We have done away with the swivel and gone with a D shackle and mouse wire! Cheers, Josh
I’m from the Redlands so I’m not suggesting I’m any more refined then yourself, nevertheless rule of thumb never show excrement or fridge juice on your films. Some have a weak stomachs and it just lowers the tone of your film’s. I’m starting to enjoy your channel more and more maybe because these are all happy days for you guys. All the best, “I think we’re going to need a bigger boat”😅 for your lap around 🇦🇺 Australia.
Have you got a leech cord on the main if it keeps flapping all the time even with a reef it will wreck the sail and drive you mad. Question - what does Sonya eat and will you get a boy lizard for her to play with?
I’ve just done a bit of reading into leech cord and am going to inspect on our sails! Thanks for the heads up 😁 Sonya eats lots of leafy greens, vegetables like carrots, cabbage and occasionally broccoli and cauliflower. She’s loves fruits like mango, apple and banana as an occasional treat. We coat her food in a vitamin mix so we can be sure gets get essentials. She will never pass up an opportunity to eat any insect that presents itself too. Cheers mate, Josh
Yeah Josh and if you ever get a new main built get the sailmaker to put the leech cord all the way up to the head and down the luff to the gooseneck so it's easier to pull on in a blow. Headsail leech cords, of course, are cleated near the clew.@@Thenewkidsonthedock
Copy that! I’ve notice the jib leech cord but never adjusted. Time for some trial and error! Any tips on how to know when right tension is achieved? Cheers mate
Yeah, you want just enough tension to stop the flapping, too much and the leech will curl and disrupt the air flow off the sail, a bit like putting the flaps down on a plane wing.@@Thenewkidsonthedock
How on earth did you lose the anchor? Just a heads up that the anchor sizes on all the manufacturers websites are TOO SMALL. If/when you look at buying a new anchor please size an anchor for a storm - you absolutely should have your storm anchor in the bow as your main anchor. That CQR will do as a spare. All the new gen anchors are ok except the Lewmar Delta. Do not under any circumstances buy a Delta. Just for comparison I have an 18 ton 60ft/18m yacht with an 80kg Rocna on the bow.
Hey mate! Josh here - So awesome to learn about your boat, what’s her name? She’s almost double the length of Innerbloom 🤩 As I had to retrieve the anchor and chain by hand I couldn’t pull it snug up into the bow roller as my fingers were getting caught in the gypsy attempting to feed the last section down the hauser pipe. We got within three meters of a boat as I pulled the anchor aboard so it was all systems go to avoid any contact. On our passage you could hear the anchor flogging when we buried our nose, I was at the helm and made a mental note ‘I need to go forward and tie that off’ then the noise stopped and I thought sweet as! It wasn’t until dropping the sails that I noticed out 25KG Delta (which it sounds like you may be happy to hear) washed away. What happened I have learnt was as the anchor flogged in the bow roller it cracked the bolts on the swivel. Every wave caused vibrations that working the bolts looser and looser, eventually causing the swivel to uncouple from the anchor leaving us with chain and a swivel but no anchor! Lesson learnt - always tie anchor up hard into the bow roller leaving minimal, or ideally no movement. I’ve done away with our swivel as the bolts were countersunk and couldn’t be secured with mouse wire. We would only ever have an oversized anchor on Innerbloom, my thought being: if people on the dock aren’t laughing at the size of your anchor, it’s not big enough! Cheers mate, Josh
I thought there was supposed to be a section of rode tied to the end of your anchor chain and fastened to a secure eyelet inside your anchor locker? I don’t know which would be worse, losing your anchor and chain, or realizing it’s dangling from the bow of your boat as your beating upwind. Imagine having to heave to in order to pull everything back onboard.
Hey nuts and bolts, our system has exactly that. A friend of ours whilst on anchor in Hervey Bay had a whale catch their anchor chain and rip it all out of the boat, if it wasn’t for the 5m of nylon line spliced onto the bitter end of the chain it may have been a very different ending. Luckily the line snapped and the boat was safe (they lost all anchor and chain after being taken for a short ride), we checked our nylon splicing system the day we heard that story.. Cheers mate, Josh
I got boarded coming back from Catalina Island to San Diego by the US Coast Guard under the pretense of a safety inspection. I'm not sure what they were really looking for but they checked our fire extinguisher, flares and life vests/flotation devices and were gone within a few minutes. It's not a yes or no proposition, you ARE going to get boarded whether you like it or not. They sent a good sized zodiac over with three armed men. Not like we were going to outrun them in a 38' sailboat. 😄
You'd definitely hear both sides of the conversation if they were really talking with a military ship...they don't go for low power radios 🤣 Someone was having a gas.
Hey mate, just third party! You can’t get by without it these days. How ever to lift the boat out almost everywhere needs full comprehensive now. I can’t comment of recommendations but sailing groups on Facebook has so much amazing information to share. What country are you sailing in? Cheers! Josh
Hey Josh@@Thenewkidsonthedock - we are Qld based. We are currently with NRMA but were thinking about dropping to third party only. Might stick to full comprehensive.
At the time Australia was hosting War Games which a few of the allied countries were participating in (in fact I think it was the largest war games ever) this was a few days prior to them commencing
Ok. Let's eliminate Sonja from the equation. She just doesn't have hair anywhere. Which leaves um....? Nah keep the hair guys. Otherwise how will would we work out who's who.?? Another great episode anyway. Pity about the anchor. That's a Pain in the proverbial. Keep on keeping on. Take care mates and atb from across the ditch.
72 is a very common ship-ship frequency to use. Usually you would hail them on 16 and then switch to a working channel since 16 has to be kept clear for emergencies and important traffic. I found it very strange the cargo vessel called them “American warship” as they usually identify as “US Navy Warship #” or “coalition warship #” if it is operating with an allied task force. “Warship 20” could only be LCS 20 Cincinnati or LPD 20 Green Bay, unlikely that those are interested in boarding any vessel.

I'm amused by old mate crap'ing on about professionalism when professional mariners understand that if they're in Australian waters, the Australian Border Force can and will board them. Radio pinky promises about complying with our import/quarantine, fishing, and drug laws aren't good enough.
So nice to see what real sailing is about...
Thanks Michael! Appreciate your comment my friend glad you enjoy it :)

Sooooo good. Hey what nav app are you guys using?? Soz if asked so many times............
We use Navionics and it has been a game changer for our sailing experience! Could not recommend it more

The two ships can talk on 2 different radios,if they have 2 radios on the same 2 channels.I’ve done it on a vhf and a cb

Are you guys planning to circumnavigate Australia?
Mackay - not just a laundromat - an airconditioned laundromat - well it was in 2015.
You'd definitely hear both sides of the conversation if they were really talking with a military ship...they don't go for low power radios 🤣 Someone was having a gas.
Hey guys. Heading into marinas do you need full comprehensive or just third party? Do you have any recommendations of insurers?
Hey mate, just third party! You can’t get by without it these days. How ever to lift the boat out almost everywhere needs full comprehensive now. I can’t comment of recommendations but sailing groups on Facebook has so much amazing information to share. What country are you sailing in? Cheers! Josh
Hey Josh@@Thenewkidsonthedock - we are Qld based. We are currently with NRMA but were thinking about dropping to third party only. Might stick to full comprehensive.
How the heck does a anchor just fall off the confusion is real
The cable ties broke!
Just kidding… we relaised we need to expand on what happened which we will do next video 😁
what app is that on your phone at the 11:23 mark ? tnx
You should look up free range sailing they are a great channel to
Is anyone else curious and want to know more about what was going on with that cargo ship and the US Navy ship that got juicy?
At the time Australia was hosting War Games which a few of the allied countries were participating in (in fact I think it was the largest war games ever) this was a few days prior to them commencing
We change the Channel😂 Yes please🔥
You don't have a spare anchor? Oops!
We do have a spare that is just a Danforth. Which we can use in emergencies or when anchoring off the bow and stern
At first I saw
Raw Kids Off The Dock
Crazy ship fighting like that . They will get a rectal exam when they reach port and the ship be flagged if they arrive in the USA
The reason why you can not hear the navy ship is because they're using a relay station.
Ah awesome, thanks for that information!
Ok. Let's eliminate Sonja from the equation. She just doesn't have hair anywhere. Which leaves um....? Nah keep the hair guys. Otherwise how will would we work out who's who.?? Another great episode anyway. Pity about the anchor. That's a Pain in the proverbial. Keep on keeping on. Take care mates and atb from across the ditch.
Hey Bryan, could you imagine how good Sonya would look with a doo? What an image haha. Cheers for the support mate! Josh
@@Thenewkidsonthedock no worries
72 is a very common ship-ship frequency to use. Usually you would hail them on 16 and then switch to a working channel since 16 has to be kept clear for emergencies and important traffic. I found it very strange the cargo vessel called them “American warship” as they usually identify as “US Navy Warship #” or “coalition warship #” if it is operating with an allied task force. “Warship 20” could only be LCS 20 Cincinnati or LPD 20 Green Bay, unlikely that those are interested in boarding any vessel.
US Navy ships do not do any law enforcement, US Coast Guard ships do that unless a US Navy ship has a Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment (LEDET) onboard. When they have one, it’s because they have intel on a specific ship (human trafficking, smuggling, etc) that they are targeting. Honestly, Seagodess sounds pretty strange in this conversation, cargo vessels are never that talkative nor provocative since any delay costs them a lot of money. Since Seagodess sounds American, it can be boarded by US forces.
I’m inclined to think this may have been a US Coast Guard ship attempting to board a US flagged vessel. Because you did not hear the warship’s reply, that means they likely have a shorter mast, so not typically US Navy. Also the mentions of boarding. Again, Coast Guard function, Navy does not do this. Pretty interesting to note that US Coast Guard units are deployed everywhere in the world, and not just to guard the US EEZ. Or this could be an LCS with a Coast Guard det on board. I’m ruling out the LPD since they would have sent a helo over and they have a very robust (and tall) comms system, you definitely would hear them.
By this mediation of radio communication you are probably violating the telecommunication law and I can imagine that it can cost you a penny.
If neither of you have long hair then logically the hairball must be from the dragon... Sure you don't have a stowaway cat hiding somewhere?
I'm amused by old mate crap'ing on about professionalism when professional mariners understand that if they're in Australian waters, the Australian Border Force can and will board them. Radio pinky promises about complying with our import/quarantine, fishing, and drug laws aren't good enough.
Bilge 🤢🤮
Please wire lock those shackle's as if you don't you will be looking for a new Anchor :) just saying lol
