Great video! Perfect mix of maintenance stuff (which I really appreciate) and sailing. Sitting here grinning like an idiot watching people I don't know, and will never meet, getting excited over seeing porpoises... it's infectious. :)
Aww thank you so much. We really appreciate the lovely comment. We are very new to the sail life and the sea life that is out there. That was the first time we'd ever seen porpoises. Wonder what we'll see next. Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue to follow along. Maybe our paths will cross if at a seaside town sometime.
I've never managed to fix my diesel leak on my engine, I get a fine misting of diesel on the same filter. I'm almost convinced I need to replace the copper washers on the 2 bleeding bolts on top of the filter housing. I never have a drip or any fuel in the bildge, its very annoying. Good video and nice job on painting the hull.
This is fantastic guys. I’ve been following your progress and it’s superb what you have achieved. Sailing is something I’ve longed to do myself and the Albin Vega 27 is the boat I eventually want. Thanks for the insight in the boat and novice sailing. Paul
Hi Paul, thank you so much. We really appreciate that. Well as my 1st boat, I could really recommend the Albin Vega. There are a lot for sale on the boat market at really reasonable prices. I hope you are able to get out sailing on your own Vega soon.
@@LittleBoatAdventures motors are pain in the a** 😄 I'm buying albin vega next spring so it's nice to have these channels to get some tips for the boat👍
Good spot. I had tried to reach it last week but I've been sent the wrong belt twice now. Not sure what the issue is. But the boat is haed out now so will get it sorted thanks 🙏👍
@@LittleBoatAdventures ouch, been there, done that - still sucks when you get the wrong things delivered :( But yeah, give it some new belts and it'll be good for next season :D
Glad to see you got out!
Thank you. It was a good day indeed
Great to see you back on the water and your visitors too. Beautiful video guys. Thank you.
Thanks Bob really appreciate it. Hope you are well? 😁

Sailing is amazing, when nature gives You such wounderfull adventures. Best regards to You both, John.
Thanks John. Appreciate that 👍

Yes I had the same problem. I replaced one of the little washers on the bled nut and it has resolved that problem 😁
@@LittleBoatAdventures great thanks for letting me know, I'll have to buy some and get them fitted before next season 👍👍👍
Love seeing the dolphins and porpoises. Last time I had a visit I had them for almost an hour. I think I was in a large feed
There was so may around this day 😁

You should put some silicone grease on the o rings to make them seal tight.
The leak persisted. I have since discovered the ring was the wrong size.

You can get an o ring kit on eBay.she goes really well, great to sea our cousins finding some fish
You may want to replace the v-belt as well, that thing's floppy as heck :D

@@gfimadcat indeed it is. Well I hope to replace all the belts and give engine a good service and hopefully that will keep her running another while 😁
Nothing wrong with being Fair Weather Sailors... 🤣😂🤣
No offence intended, 🤣🤣
