Good morning guys from Nz. Usual story, stumbled on to your channel, liked 👍 and subscribed. Thought to myself any couple with decent inkwork, living on a boat, with a wood stove, deserve my attention. In a previous life as a liveaboard, my boat was a Hartley Queenslander, in ferrocement, both cabins insulated, and heated with a stainless steel stove, which was a later addition. It meant that I was able to burn drift wood, as well as other types of wood. Not unusual in the middle of our winter, to have the cabin temp up to 25°C. Now we're coming into our winter down here, so doing my best to stay warm. Thanks for the upload, and for sharing your life. Much appreciated.. Peace ✌. Out.
@@eugenio1542 my next one was a 12mt Hartley Golden Cowrie. Biggest mistake I made was not removing the stove and bringing it with me. Thought it would help it to sell. Hey mate, what's FC.? If you said AB's, I'd know who you meant.?? Cheers for the response. Take care mate.
@@eugenio1542 duh to me. I believe they're doing ok. I paid from memory, $40k nzd back in late 90s. I could have sailed it to UK, and sold it for £40k. Which back then I believe was about $100k.nzd. less exchange fees etc,. Not sure how prices are going now.
@@eugenio1542 My 2nd one was from memory 15 tonne. I had the 2, over a period of 15 years. No problem with rust. There's a chemical added to the cement mix which prevents salt getting to the frame. There may be plenty available now. But not back in my time.
It’s good to see you two! When winter comes to the north woods, I look forward to seeing you two cruising warm waters and debating whether or not to get a spinnaker up. In the virtual realm, synchronicity is not as important as a tale well told.
Really enjoyed that. Some really good photography. Thanks. Have you thought of getting several sacks of coal to keep under the floor boards to supplement your wood supply. I have diesel powered hot water aboard my boat, and it is an essential for Winter. Downside is that it needs electricity as well to work, so dockside is necessary during those long dark nights.
After killing batteries with my German diesel heaters I fitted a Dutch Kabola gravity fed diesel boiler that runs the radiators. Still need some battery to pump up to the day tank now & again and the 12volt circulation pump but that's easily covered. Love wood/coal fires but hate the hassle and dust!
@@dancarter482 I know what you mean Dan. I’d love to have a Kabola too, but the foot print of the machine is far too large. My Eberspacher fits up in an otherwise un usable void in the center of the boat and is virtually silent as heard from the other cabins. I have another addition being fitted, this being 4 solar panels arranged so that they can angle optimally for the sun but convert to be a water catchment with about 5 square meters. I am also fitting solar thermal panels beneath these so will have a thermal capacity of 2 kilowatt (1 kilowatt Photo Voltaic) where the energy is transferred directly to the Eberspacher energy circuit. So when cruising the boats heat energy will come mostly from the Solar panels requiring a bout 40 amps to circulate the heat transfer fluid. I agree too that a log fire is a great addition. I have designed a log fire for my boat but it is far further down the project line and may never happen.
@@williambunting803 Sounds great. Nice and elaborate! I have a Webasto hydronic on the same circuit as the Kabola so the rad's can be heated two ways. Then an Eberspacher forced air with its own fuel tank for total redundancy. Never going back to solid fuel. Liking the idea of a little wind turbine eventually - that should provide enough juice to keep the volts up!
What a crazy sunrise.

G day mate. My old man built a Hartley Tahitian 45 back in the day. Sold in Greece 😢. How are the FC's holding up ? Byron Bay 🇭🇲

@@bryanbadger6841 Ferro Cement ? Heavy and prone to rust internally if correct cover is not achieved ? Looked them up and there are loads for sale etc

That fire looks nice and toasty... It's winter here too but no where as cold...
1 issue I've had with my cubic grizzly mini stove is sizing wood to fit in it. When I'm in town, I use Bioflame mini pressed logs. They fit perfectly.

Harsh and brutal but this video is freaking beautiful!! Nature is gorgeous what a sunrise! 👏👏
Melt the clean snow and you've got water..
Nice , guys you are living the dream. Beautiful place, beautiful s.v. with awesome friends.
The thermometer on our ducted heating reads 17 deg. C and I’m feeling the cold. I’m just south of Melbourne, Australia.

Beautiful video!
It's may now and I hope the two of you are a lot warmer. Your water front looks like my stomping grounds just in the North Atlantic. Who knew.....!
Dang that looks cold, I'll bet you're glad that winter is over now. I'm sure you will be better prepared for next winter.
🤘!!!
Why torture yourselves?? Sail South!
