Troy, As a US Navy Captain, I’m utterly impressed at your ability to effect repairs at sea. I truly admire your self sufficiency. As a personal small boat owner, your repair of the water maker bolts was amazing. Have you ever considered making an episode on how you equip your boat to respond to contingencies?
It might be more a case for leaving out things I don't comprehend! We run by the navy motto: We've been doing so much, with so little for so long; soon we shall be able to do everything with nothing forever.
I saw a Tasmania couple about 10+yrs ago pack an Atlantic Crossing in a container like that. To make more room they cut the packaging up into smaller pieces
hey, if you guys are up near Ronsard island, there is a camp in the mangrove estuary that could be handy for you. should be able to park up 60 or so mtr's off it, and check out the shack. has water, a shower, and the mangrove system is chock full of jacks and estuary cod. drop some nets or walk low tide for good supply of muddies! camp has survived many cyclones and was a great destination for my terminally ill father, before the trip was beyond him. love your vids and would love to join you guys for a few days!
I love the dynamic between you two not to mention the dryness of the engineering humour! If necessity is the mother of invention then I reckon sods law is the father! 👍
“Work arounds” is what we call them in the broadcast world. If something breaks, we must find a way! The show must go on! Love the Navy blue shirt!!! Stay safe!
Enjoyed your chat about the towers at Exmouth. Back in 1977 when I in the RAAF we had a exercise at the RAAF Learmonth base. We scored a tour of the towers and the installation. The Americains has a bowling alley, cinema, Americain cars just like back in the USA. Lots of the buildings in the towers complex were.made from a composite wood to avoid.problems with metals, radio waves, and electricity. No secrets have been revealed in the above. We spent 2wks supporting the Pot Shot.
Was stationed at NWC in '74 '75 Our subs could receive the VLF signal at most times over 50 feet submerged with a very long trailing antenna to bring in the signal. The signal then was in excess of 3 megawatts in strength so that it could bend around all the Pacific islands and even under the polar ice. The pier you like to use (swim about) was built so that we could get major cargo. The largest aircraft was a C-130 that could land and the road south was nearly 4x4 only.
Later in their long lives a late great Aunt and Uncle were enthusiastic and comprehensive rovers with their four wheel drive and caravan who visited North West Cape antenna array in it's heyday. I recall them assuring me that holding a fluorescent lighting tube in your hand as close as the public could approach to the ULF facility was a popular tourist activity. They said this was because the level of power inherent to the antenna could make the tube light up all on it's own with no conventional source of energy and they had personally verified it as fact! They also said there was an astonishing range and quantity of colorful minerals coating features below the waterline on surrounding marine terrain. Uncle thought that was probably due to electrolytic effects created by the powerful electromagnetic field produced by the antenna precipitating minerals directly out of the seawater!
Enjoying as always your continued adventures, insight fixing n random info about the area your in at the time. (Low frec. Antenna this time) as well as others. At 76 yrs n poor heath I’m for the grounded mostly caring for my Sweetheart n myself but inspired n refreshed by your videos. Thankz as always. Papa J.
Ahh how pleasant it is to sit and watch a charming video …….from the lockdown capital of the world. Looking forward to more of the same… keep safe. My morale is always better after watching your videos Tony W
I worked at the VLF site back in the late 80's. It was an amazing place to work. The story goes that the power coming from the antennas had the capability of wording off cyclones. I remember once the VLF site had maintenance days on Monday's, and a cyclone was approaching and the Exmouth mayor requested the transmitter be turned back on to ward off the cyclone. What do you think happened? The cyclone made a detour slightly back out to sea. Some may say the NW Cape land mass created that, but others say it was the VLF transmitter. Believe it or not?!
It's the calm well considered approach to sorting the problem that stands out as a lesson for me. Despite being miles from workshops or service agents there is no swearing, no dramas, no blaming. Just a "What's the fault and what have we got to use" mentality. Probably more the result of experience than any training but if you could bottle it and sell it at a chandlery store you'd be on a winner...
I've made use of an "eco brick" for years. All our soft plastics go into a bottle. Saves space and if it does end up in landfill (not recycled), it stays all in one space (the bottle contains a LOT if plastic).
6:00 I love seeing the evening shot where it’s dark but your in your self sufficient boat all brightly lit. 🤗 show us some more cozy night time shots showing us what you do in the evening and maybe what you do on a night watch. 😋 if you don’t mind me asking haha!
Love the organisation and stock of materials. I work like that too. I am always picking up nuts bolts and scraps of steel and aluminium as I walk around. You never know when you might need it. Good on you Troy!
What was that again Troy, "Just like a thumb in the bum"? 🤣 Lot's of good info in this one and some very funny humor if you're paying attention to what's being said, like "Okay leave the dad jokes to me". 😁 This was another great episode, I'm pretty sure I'm spelling this wrong but great job on editing and filming "Pasky", is that right? It just keeps getting better and better. I truly enjoy y'all's channel and it doesn't even need to be something spectacular. Just sitting in on the simple things like your little chats, banter back and forth, and a water maker repair are enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all the hard work and sharing your lives with us. Fair winds, safe travels and God Bless...
What skills, there is nothing like being upside down in a dark hole on a boat. What confuses me is why (at time of writing) 5 people gave a thumbs down for this video? :-(
Very helpful in planning for my own more extended (than currently) cruising; in regards to spares and generic material that can be improvised for fixes. Excellent! Thank you.
Whether it is sailing the sea, traveling the remote roads, or doing repairs around the house, 2 quotes always come to the mind....Good fortune favors the prepared...think like the Boy Scouts, ALWAYS be prepared. I see so many travel vlogs (marine and terrestrial) where when problems arise, they have neither the knowledge, apptitude or resources to effect a repair, even temporary ones. Being an ex boy scout, who has traveled the odd bush road in questionable vehicles, sailed the sea in older boats and lived on the land, I always have a tool box full of wrenches that fit, a 'gash box' full of useful stuff like random bolts and nuts, hose clamps, epoxy putty, glue and other odds & sods.
"Easily impressed" Hahaha! Not at all Troy! Very impressed! Ingenuity like yours is not as common as it used to be. Another great episode from the best Sailing Channel on YT!!! Thanks!
Hey Troy, I thought of another idea for that threaded rod. Make them a bit longer and put two nuts on each end, nyloc if you have them that should stop them sheering off again.
Just weld the exhaust. Easy. There must be someone around who can do that. Definitely worth learning how to do it if it's stainless. They crack easy and you eventually end up with a tube of weld material which is a hell of a lot stronger than the original stainless and you will never ever need to replace it.
I am pleased to announce That these 2 are best in Class and are real sailors. Absolute Bonus theyre are from ny hometown or state Fremantle Western Australia.
Your information on submarines and VLF communications, as well as nuclear targeting, is spot on mate! Pascale must have done the research on that one (j/k)... -Former Submarine Radio Chief Petty Officer USN
Great vid. I meant to comment in an earlier episode. Iv always wondered why wind generators don't come with props that you can change the pitch on in high wind weather. To act as a gear down, so you can still collect power.
Wow she is truly a fast boat, my Albin Vega 27' would be left in the dust. I'll be moving out on the seas in a year, my goal is to catch every kind of fish there is on the planet. 😁 I'll be eating only seafood to keep the costs down, I'll be starting in the Baltic sea and then go out to the Atlantic island's, after that I don't know. Blessings from Sweden!
As always a great program.. been watching you from the start from across the creek... youve helped me so often with my own 32 ft yacht. Keep up the great work. You guys are brilliant.
I've been watching you guys for about a year and am always entertained, and I really respect the minimalist life you live. One thing that surprised me is that you use paper towels. I would think that would be easy to eliminate or reduce your use of by using old cut up towels as rags. I only use them for cooking, ie. drying fish, draining bacon. Not a criticism, just a suggestion. Love you guys!! Keep the great content coming! Thomas from Westhampton Beach, Long Island, New York, USA 🇺🇸
It is permissible to discard paper towel at sea while rags should be held on board. We use rags for engine use and paper towel for food/ salt water spills.
Troy is a real life McGyver. I would love if he could to a list on tools & things that are a must have on a boat, to get out of trouble. Plastic compacting is a great idea. P&T videos are adventure & usefully lessons. Thanks TC.

Another great vid, has given me a wake up and some great ideas with regard to plastic and rubbish aboard. I had three bolts shear on the macerator pump on “RT”. Tried to Mcgiver it with cable ties. Didn’t work and was cheaper to replace. Shitty job! 😉 Nice work Troy. Must get some 316 threaded rod for my tool kit. 👍 Thanks and fair winds
Good stuff. We have exactly the same watermaker and carry exactly the same threaded rod. Our scare was finding a neat pile of salt crystals on the cabin sole. No where near anything. The one way valve from the watermaker to the through hull had dezincified and a tiny high pressure squirt of super saline water was coming through a vent onto the sole.

Years ago in a small commercial boat shipyard we decided to try stainless for a wet exhaust run and found it degraded faster than galvanized black iron pipe in similar service. Chemical corrosion I guess. Maybe a higher grade SS like 316 would have performed better had it been available in our sizes. Monel is the stuff if you can swing the $$.
Troy,
As a US Navy Captain, I’m utterly impressed at your ability to effect repairs at sea. I truly admire your self sufficiency. As a personal small boat owner, your repair of the water maker bolts was amazing. Have you ever considered making an episode on how you equip your boat to respond to contingencies?

Troy your calm approach to problems is a trait that cannot be taught. Well done fixing the water maker.

GOOD SAVE Troy....Troy is the Fix'it King and Pascale is the TOP Chef 🥰🥰
Boating... Fixing boats in exotic places... So very satisfying...
"good luck when having bad luck" >>> you got an epic thumbnail 😁
Troy & Pascale, you too are excellent film makers and always make interesting & informative video’s. All the best from the UK.
Pascale isn't the only one that is impressed. 👍
I eat at that ramp on most days for lunch.. it was great to meet you in person . Safe travels guys

Free Range doesn't have problems, they have solutions. MacGyvering at it's best !!
Don't focus on the problem focus all your efforts on to the solution.... That's what I've learned..
Mmm, I reckon Troy could teach MacGyver a thing or two.
Troy can fix anything except the crack of dawn. Cool compacter.

Ey beats. Thank you for showing the rubbish, very thought provoking
"Nothing's a problem" - Troy is so like my dad, manages to make a fix to see you through even if it's not 100% ideal or perfect!
My Dad would have fixed it too but with a lot more swearing 🤣
Troy always calm & cool even when major repairs are needed. Sure can fix anything! Nothing fazes him.
Gratifying ....even though it was another breakage requiring another repair. I get it.
25:10 Absolutely glorious expression, no words required!

Thank you for the idea of standardising threads.
Good job sorting all those potential problems 👌🙂
Troy, repairs made easy are the BEST repairs and the most impressive by far.
I should make a household plastic shredder (like a paper shredder).
That would make plastic recycling truly cost effective.

Good stuff. We have exactly the same watermaker and carry exactly the same threaded rod. Our scare was finding a neat pile of salt crystals on the cabin sole. No where near anything. The one way valve from the watermaker to the through hull had dezincified and a tiny high pressure squirt of super saline water was coming through a vent onto the sole. Inside the watermaker locker was a different story.
