Like a retired aircraft carrier, so he can section off a big part of the launch deck as a massive garden farm, with bees, and even a small forest/park area off one side with shade and things. A floating island of content, cruising the world.

Awesome content, great videography, editing and production.

You've completely touched the heart of this 54 year old woman - live, love and laugh!

    You really show the beauty of West Sussex well, Alex - keep up the great work.

  • @TheCaptainbeefylog
    @TheCaptainbeefylog Год назад +1

    Get a set of flushers (often called ear muffs). They attach to a garden hose and the cups sit over the intake on the motor. You don't need a barrel of water then, just the hose.
    For launching - If one man then have the boat bow in to the land, get the motor running THEN get in and back carefully out until able to safely turn around. If two men then one gets in and has the motor running before the second man gets in.
    Consider getting/making a sling/strap to go over your shoulders for hauling the boat to the water. It will save a lot of strain on your hands and arms.
    Adventure awaits!

    Watching from Wisconsin, where there are lakes, boats and good fishing everywhere. The camaraderie of fishing with a friend or dad or son is what makes it all worthwhile, and that's why Harry was right to say there are no bad days of fishing. A popular bumper sticker says, "A bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work."
    I would get one for you and bring it to London when i go in 10 days or so, but wouldn't know how to get it to you.

  • @andyaim4764
    @andyaim4764 Год назад +2

    My brother in law nearly drowned wearing waders launching a boat in the sea. His were thigh waders but chest waders fill with more water and become heavier.
    But the safety of wearing waders is questionable because of how they hold water. While they’re safe to wear on a boat, they may be hazardous if you fall into the water. Waders are neutrally buoyant, meaning they don’t sink or swim but float at the water level they’re in.
    If you fall overboard, your boot waders may fill with water, causing you to sink below the water. In addition, waders that go up to your chest may also fill with water. This extra weight may make it hard for you to climb back into the boat, leaving you exposed to dangerous currents and tides.

    Love that you've now taken to the seas. The home I grew up in was waterfront in Connecticut and I was lucky to be able to sail and kayak everyday growing up. I love the water and it's part of my soul. There is nothing like reading the winds and tides, learning charter routes of the nearby docks and yacht clubs. I miss it so much. We had the Tartan 37', Chris Craft Launch 27, and my little baby Sunfish. Keep it up and never stop exploring the ocean

    Hi, that squid looked really tasty.
    You guys need a VHF radio and license, dont rely on mobiles. Also be careful wearing waders, if you fall over you can really struggle to get back up or back on the boat once they fill up with water (even when you're just in shallow surf) Enjoyed the video though and looking forward to the next one.

  • @joshwheeler3297
    @joshwheeler3297 Год назад +1

    Hey bro. Love the channel! I live in Tampa bay and do a lot of boating. Please do yourself a favor and put those life jackets on before you go into the water, or don’t wear waders. Waders are super dangerous when they fill with water. They make a suction around your body and you can’t get them off, but you also can’t swim or float with them, so basically you end up like a rock going to the bottom. Wearing the inflatable life jackets is smart, just wear them from start to finish, even while launching the boat.

    Nice! Though i do have a few things which i feel like could be a mistake:
    - a black boat gets REALLY hot in the sun, there's a reason why most boats are white, and that is it
    - Getting an air deck instead of an aluminium deck. The added stability of standing on metal instead of rubber will probably save you a few close calls (of falling in the water)
    Overall though, fun to see that you're getting into boating, have fun out there and stay safe!

    Two years later this motor is going strong ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
