    Almost took an eye out with a pair of scisors, left pigeon eggs to an unsuspecting neighbour, looked right in to the barrel of a gun to check if it's loaded!
    ...well, she's definitely the terror on the water, yet, great couple! Enjoy it fellas, because we sure do enjoy watching you having fun on water. Cheers!

    I want to wish both of you Fair Winds & Calm Seas and life experiences that will ever be with you. In 1994 my wife and I sailed our CS40 (Sail #5225) from Toronto to South America and back. Three years doing exactly what your doing right now. The CS was a great vessel for the journey and performed flawlessly. Be well!

    Thanks for all of the kind words! We've been moving at a pretty fast pace now and will head for Dominica likely tomorrow. Another video is in the works - but we've been having so much fun exploring Guadeloupe, the Saints, and free diving that video editing has gone on the back burner. But soon my friends, soon! The next one will feature our trip to Montserrat to see the volcano ruins. By far the most powerful land experience we have had. Happy Monday - Cat & Will

    Another great video to keep us landlocked (for now) sailors smiling! If you guys get the chance, please consider a "wind muff" for your microphone. Super cheap to purchase, but you can make one out of cloth even the "ear" of a stuffed animal that you can find at any port.
    .
    Good job on the Lion Fish. Cull them wherever you can find them. As mentioned earlier, they are an excellent eating fish. Might have to shoot several to make a full meal, but they are delicious, pan fried, broiled or baked in aluminum foil. Don't let the eels have all of the fun! :-)

    G'day Guys, great vid. I thought you were very kind to the Doves. I am building a 38foot cat and I had swallows build 2 nests in it, the first time I relocated it to a tree, the 2nd was in our cabin... so I threw on the ground in front of the boat {smashed} I was sending a message .. "you birds are not living my boat before I am.... they haven't been back..lol

      +Calvin Smith Not good form at all, unfortunately things like that seem to come back three fold. There's more to sailing than just riding around in a boat. Poseidon is very unforgiving, this is why there are so many traditions . At sea, sometimes you need all the luck you can get, best not to spoil it.

  • @john3Lee
    @john3Lee 8 лет назад +3

    I'm sure the green flash is the way the human eye compensates from staring at a bright orange object, that suddenly disappears.. A bit like the same way as staring at a bright object, then closing your eyes - we see a residule negative image in the back of the eyes !! Thats my theory :)
    Anyhow - Another great video....

    • @chrisdesselles4441
      @chrisdesselles4441 8 лет назад +1

      +john wheatley Not really. The Green Flash is definitely real. I've seen it on several occasions and was able to photograph it from the beach in Destin, FL in October of 2013.

    • @john3Lee
      @john3Lee 8 лет назад

      +Chris Desselles Confession.... I too, have seen this phenomena, but decided that what i saw was my own brain interpretation of the rapid colour change.
      The camera too, has to interpret data from fluctuating voltage from each deep sensor well in the chip... Then this is interpreted into colour via a bayer filter, so not necessarily a true colour.

    • @chrisdesselles4441
      @chrisdesselles4441 8 лет назад

      I'm not on Flickr. But it's on photobucket.com . I wish I could attach it here for you. Anyway, the GF is well documented by many sources over the last 50-60 years or so. Look it up.

    • @chrisdesselles4441
      @chrisdesselles4441 8 лет назад +1

      FYI. I do astrophotography so am fairly well versed in digital photography and processing. The Bayer matrix simply allows what are essentially monochrome gray scale images to be assigned a R&B value based upon individual pixel positions in the matrix. While there is an added Ha filter over the whole sensor to protect it from infrared energy, the colors are true for the visible spectrum.

    • @john3Lee
      @john3Lee 8 лет назад +1

      +Chris Desselles Thats exactly what I refer to... A colour image interpolated from the grey scale !!

  • @adventurousboat8724
    @adventurousboat8724 8 лет назад +1

    Nice work with the fuel filter change out. Was priming the filter very difficult? Great videos

    • @Mondaynever
      @Mondaynever  8 лет назад

      +Adventurous Boat Not difficult at all. For bleeding after a filter change, I pop the fuel line off at the engine and put an inline priming bulb in place (like on an outboard). I open the bleed screw on the lift pump and give a few squeezes until air stops bubbling and fuel runs out clear, then close the screw. Remove the priming bulb and stick the fuel line back. I open the bleed screw back up and use the little lift pump lever to push out any air bubbles introduced by removing the bulb. Then I move on to the next bleed screw (right before the start of the high pressure side).
      Basically the priming bulb is just to get the bulk of the fuel back to the engine after messing with the racor filter, since that can introduce a lot of air. Once most of it's out the tiny lift pump lever is sufficient for the remainder of the job.
      Never had to open up the fittings on the high pressure side and crank the engine over, etc - that job might be a little more challenging.

  • @cometjockeydave4041
    @cometjockeydave4041 8 лет назад

    I agree that calling it a green sliver is much more accurate than calling it a flash. In the footage at the end here you can see the upper boundary of the sun has a distinct green tinge to it. This is because the atmosphere has a slightly prismatic effect to it, and when the sun is low to the horizon it's things like the green "flash", and a reddish sun at sunset, or sunrise that result. On some clear evenings right around sunset, or shortly after, you might be able to pick up a subtle green tinge to the sky a little above the horizon. that green tinge comes from the ozone layer protecting us from harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. If you can bet way out in the middle of nowhere you might see the green "flash" as a blue one, (which is how it's supposed to look,). the reason for this is because all the pollution we put in the air filters out the blue colors leaving the green ones to get through, but although it's rare if you can really get away the blue "flash" can be seen. Out on the water would be the best place to see all this, so enjoy.
    Fair winds.

We help build the Coast Guard headquarters there back around 94. 386th Eng Bat. Alpha Company. Had a blast. I met a Major with the Air Guard and got to stay in her room at the Jack tar Village (now royal st kitts) for free for a few nights. Partied with a Colonial and a couple of Generals. I hope to go back one day before I'm too hold. Here's a link to my google photos (only 2, the others are private lol) goo.gl/photos/muKxjf9LUu1ZfDSZ6.

  • @w056007568
    @w056007568 8 лет назад +3

    It seems quite likely that your fuel tank(s) have become contaminated probably due to taking on poor quality fuel somewhere along the way. Water, often through condensation or leaking fuel storage tanks or 5 gallon drums, is the commonest contaminant but solids of some description will get in there somewhere / somehow.
    Suggest you investigate fuel tank to see if it has a drainage bung. I'm not sure with a boat but it may draw fuel from the bottom via a fuel stop cock [which you turn off when changing fuel filters to reduce the mess and back on when finished!] or it has a top mounted pick up tube which reaches down to near the bottom of the tank. NB some stop cocks have a filter in the middle of the tap, some fuel outlets have an inverted coarse filter mounted above the fuel exit whilst some top mounted fuel pipes will have a filter attached to the end of the pipe in the tank. Check all the possibilities out whilst the tank is empty!
    Whatever is available drain the tank as low as possible - ideally totally empty. If not siphon or pump fuel + contamination out and dispose of contents safely and correctly - remember oil floats on water so if you put some of the contents in a clear plastic bottle or tall glass and let it stand the water will settle out at the bottom.
    When refuelling from any supply I strongly recommend that you use a funnel that both dewaters and cleans your fuel as you fill the tanks from whatever source. Amazon sells them with differing flow rates per funnel - they work brilliantly with any liquid fuel such as diesel, petrol etc.
    One last point much of the diesel fuel in use today has had ethanol added to it (to reduce engine omissions) and as a result a a micro-organism will grow in the fuel and produce a slime that blocks fuel filters. Suggestion use as fresh fuel as possible, or use a fuel treatment. Fill tank to the absolute brim (to exclude air as far as possible) if fuel is not going to be used for some months and keep plenty of quality fuel filters to hand!

  • @TolgaCilingir
    @TolgaCilingir 8 лет назад

      false.

    • @F1nddatruth
      @F1nddatruth 8 лет назад +1

      Birds will still tend to their eggs and babies if you touch them. That is just an old wives tail to keep kids from messing with them. Although they prob won't follow the nest to a new location. Truthfully, they will just build a new nest and lay more eggs.

    • @TolgaCilingir
      @TolgaCilingir 8 лет назад

      Nope; that particular birds does not incubate the egg if you mess with its original nest or even help with placing cottons. I experienced 2 years in a row, now I do not touch nor help.

    • @F1nddatruth
      @F1nddatruth 8 лет назад +1

      I guess someone forgot to tell all the birds this rule. Either way, the nest had to be removed and they will lay another clutch of eggs. It's not as if these were the last breeding pair of a species. Also, why would you try to help wild birds build a nest? They know what they are doing.
