And as I watch this episode of you life afloat, it's absolutely bucketing down here on the South Coast of England. The BBC has issued a Yellow Warning of Heavy Rain and Flooding until mid-day tomorrow. So far, it's been a cold and wet July. It's not been this bad in July since 2004, with more to come. With a bit of luck, we MIGHT get a summer this year, but as the Schools are now shutting for the Summer Holidays, we're not holding our breaths. Hey Ho! Russ, in Not so Sunny Hampshire.
Ouch, i guess we all have the rain then! Although, i would choose the hot rain over the cold, even with a bit of a bumpy night! Hopefully the sun shines for you soon Russ 😊
Giday, lovelies great vlog again, but hey what's with leaving little Teulu in need of a dingy doctor, that's not like u 2 at all. How awesome is it to be able to make drinking water from the sea, that's definitely a plus for human ingenuity. Be safe lots luv💜💜😁
Now comes your honesty test. Would you do it the same all over again now knowing what you know about boating? I know your anwser. Just wanting to hear it from you guys. Love your positive attitudes, your courage and determination. Being honest I couldn't do it. And my mental strength is beyond most people. Good luck. I'm now addicted to your videos. I have Binged all of Sailing with Zatara. The Wynns, sailing with six. And admire all of your courage. Even prayed for your success and happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤
If you half set your mizen sail, it will help to stop the side to side roll. It must be tight like a tarp, rather than sail shaped. Older cruisers used to have a flat sail specifically for this. Great videos, thank you 🙃
We wish we could use our mizzen for this but its so damn loud and as we sleep in the cabin beneath the mast, it makes it pretty hard to sleep, but we will give it ago super tight and see if it helps at all, thanks for the suggestion!
But you may be able to cook without your food decorating the floor! It will tend to push your bow into the wind too, although this is not always desirable!! Really love your videos, so professional and well produced, well done 🥰
is it just me or does the rolly's comfort others than just me? When I'm in those big seas and at anchor, it feels like i'm more comfortable than on land. Does anyone else feel like this? When I was a kid, my dad was a trucker, I would sleep like a baby in the truck.
Over the last couple of weeks I've had time to watch from the start, wow, what an amazing journey you guys are having. Your zest for life is inspiring and attitude to overcome setbacks (broken engine in the middle of nowhere) is admirable. I'm here for the rest of the journey now. Keep up the great the work.
Do you ever think to put up the Mizzen? That will keep the Boat Heading into the Wind when at Anker. I often used it when I was Commercial Fishing. Stay SAFE Guys!
We would but two issues with it: 1. Its really loud and we sleep below it and 2: Theres often not enough wind here for it to do anything annoyingly but thanks for the suggestion!
We have a saying in New Zealand, "she'll be right mate" when things don't turn out the way you want. It's great to see Teulu Tribe has the same attitude and you know the sun will come out again. Chin up team and keep on 'truckin.
Great vlog guys well done! On camera descriptions on anchor and active sailing in light winds fantastic content! Enjoy the moment as I can only do from a distance. Thx
Those houses through! They looked like proper tree houses when you were 1st showing them! How fantastic! I think you need to put heads together, ask around, what ever.. and find an Anchorage for sleep.. if there is such a place.. being exhausted is the worst. It's like sleep walking (sailing) through it.. I pray for you both with every video! You have a beautiful style about your videos! I think you could do many ads and we will watch! You are that good! Please don't sacrifice income for us ever! We adore you both!
Threw up twice during this one. 😉 When you said , a rough week, I had no idea. Make sure you always have one of your stickers on hand, you missed a wonderful chance to leave your mark on that sign. I paused the video to look and see if you put one there. I couldn't have stayed in an anchorage that rough. Thanks for toughing it out and getting a video out. Love you. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Haha we weren't kidding with the warning! And you BET we left a TT sticker on that sign Steve! If you follow us on Instagram, theres a little video there showing it. Thanks for being here as usual!
Look into how to set up a swell bridle instead of a stern anchor. Similar to a snubber, attach a line to the anchor chain with a rolling hitch or spliced loop and clip, let out a couple of boat lengths of line a and secure midship on the side away from the swell. Haul it in until your bow points into the swell. The advantage, unlike a stern anchor, is that it can be adjusted from onboard as the wind changes and it’s as easy as a snubber to retrieve. Nice video, thanks.
Use a 2/3 leg bridle on your main anchor . Lead lines to bow and port and starboard stern / midships. You can adjust your angle to the swell by changing the lengths of the 2/3 lines! Just saw the other comment re bridles ! oops ! Lots of people looking out for you ! Good travels !
Surprisingly, I have always had really great sea legs whenever I've been on a boat. That is even more astonishing if you know that on a bad day, I can't play Fallout or Skyrim for more than 30 minutes without getting woozy. Recently I got my hands on a VR rig with a world feedback device. Amazing experience as it was, I couldn't take it for more than three minutes.
@@TeuluTribe I think it's the lack of matching full body feedback and the quick and hectic bouncing of the camera that does me in. Compared with cameras in video games, even a small boat in a choppy sea moves quite ponderous.
Not a sailor, but lovey our videos 😊 but i have read about a method, but dunno how much to put into it, but seems like it might help, they swung their boom out over the side with a large bucket with holes in it and dropped it in, works like a mini drogue. "Shrug"
Flopper stopper? Or an anchor bridal rigged to bring the bow into the swell instead of having it on the beam. It’s simple to rig and easier than a stern anchor to set up.
@@TeuluTribe ah of course. We have had too much wind in the UK this summer force 9 for the Round the Island Race. So a lack of wind didn’t occur to me. 🤪 that leaves a flopper stopper I guess.
I would much rather be on the rolly anchorage over being in my air conditioned mansion. Trust me you’re living the life! I can’t sail in this part of the world now as it’s crazy hot 50 degrees. My boat has to wait until the winter… I miss living on anchor like there is no tomorrow. Keep the positive attitude and remember your lucky 😊
Just rewatched your Boat Tour from the early days. Mabey it's time for an update with all the changes you guys did to the Boat in the last two years? Would love to have a side by side comparison of how Teulu changed:) Love your Vids
First time I went to Costa Rica maybe 30 + years ago a local told me to avoid the “ Green Season “ which I realized was the rainy season BUT another local a Lawyer explained his interpretation of the Green Season was his leather Brief Case had a tendency to turn various shades of green .
Have you repaired the tear in that one compartment of the dingy already? If not, here's how I would approach that. This starts with the question what material is around the air-inflated compartment. That determines what glue you need and what repair material will match. In bicycling, there is a century old glue that helps repair a puncture in your bike's inner tire. You would use a patch of inner tube material with similar material properties and elasticity to glue over the hole. That works flawlessly and reliably. But the inner tube is restricted by the outer tire and that means there is a limitation to the load exerted by air pressure - the inner tube gets help from the outer and this helps the patch to stay in place. As soon as motorcycles and cars started to use "tubeless" tires, that changed the procedure. In the case of the dingy, I would to glue a patch to the inside, considering the size of the tear, and the outside. I would glue a patch to the inside starting along one side (length) of the tear once this is really fixed in place I would glue it along the other end - here the function is to get strength to hold the sides together, not necessarily perfect air-tightness. Working this way would/could enable some clamping while the glue sets. Next I would put air pressure in the zone and glue a patch on the outside. Make the patches oval in order to prevent sharp corners of the patch to easily work loose. "Clamp" using gaffer tape or so.
I've just watched (more like binge-watched) all your videos over the past 3 weeks. Glad I found your excellent channel. Wow, you both grew as people in 2 years. You were adventurous to start this and now you're both so brave, strong and resourceful! I've learnt so much about what's required to run a boat from you and will begin next year. It's been many years for me (last aboard a Nautilus Swan 57 ketch, beautiful boat, years ago, and always had this desire to get afloat again). I've travelled lots too and of all the amazing places visited, I can't help thinking that beautiful Wales is up there among the most scenic. Maybe not the warmest weather, but when the sun shines hot it's beaches and scenery are up there with the world's best. I look forward to your excellent videos and long may you both have great adventures, and much good fortune! Stay safe.
Have you considered one of those FlopStoppers? They look like they might be helpful… Onwards and upwards with a stiff upper lip and the bravado of Blighty to boot!!!
It would be boring if everything went perfectly! That rolling reminds me of a night on a mooring buoy in Salcombe years ago, in a southerly gale. Hardly slept a wink !
To stop things sliding about wet some towels or tee shirts ring them out until damp put on table tops or counter tops to stop rolling a round in bed jam something under outside ove your mattress
I have a question, why don't modern sailors use hammocks? Hundreds of years ago sailors used hammocks, and when you have a boat rolling then it just looks like it would make sense to set up the hammock above your bed, so you can sleep stationary whilst everything else in your boat is rolling around side to side.
Good question- easy answer for us! We don't have the 'real estate' on board. Above our bed is angular and pretty tight, and the only other place we could hang a hammock is in the saloon or galley but if we rolled, we would be sure to crash into things- maybe Teulu looks a bit bigger on camera then she really is 😊
In the past have been on the bow, watching for lobster pots in fog on the South Coast, UK, think I would swap you. The format is good, well done, just saying.
Bumpy waters are part of the life for sure! Could you deal with motion of ocean? 🌊
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching
Having lived on a sailboat for 10 years,,, what you need is a "flopper-stopper" to help control that nasty roll. It works.
Bro, your videos are gold.
Sister, too! 😂 They’re both wonderful, I look forward to them especially with all that’s happening in our World.
Oh My goodness I'm feeling seasick just watching that roll!! Great video of the "real" sailing life!
Poor things. Guess I had it easy working in the sun all day.
You need to get or make “Flopper Stoppers” for your boat… to help stop the rolling boat action.
You need the: Roll Stabilizer / Flopper Stopper
Great video - very nice cinematographic opening, and play with music.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love you guys ❤ I just passed my day skipper in the solent this weekend!
Congrats! Thats AWESOME!! See you out there someday1
If this is living the dream I think i'll continue with my "boring" conventional life!
Haha, "we are british, we are used to it." Love it ❤😂
Embracing the British spirit, gotta find humour in it all!
Loved the shot of the bow with the camera on the stick close to the water! 😎👍 the "Porpoise View" 😂😂
5200 will fix the inflatable with a hypalon patch squeezed between two boards covered with cellophane using C clamps for credence 30 years on cruising time you also need Flopper Stoppers and I said before it's all about whether you get seasick or not Mitch
Wow what a ride! You folks are in a very nice spot and on a beautiful sailboat Thanks for all your efforts to bring us this weekly show
It's all smooth sailing when we have viewers like you on board 😊 Thanks for tuning in!
Jeeeze. Your filming and editing has become second to none. Well done guys. Really great work.
Your kind words mean the world to us! We're so glad you appreciate the effort we put into our vids 😊
I love your videos. I stumbled across them by accident, but I find them relaxing, and they are shot beautifully. Thank you.
Love you kids! I can't afford to be a Patron. Please, by all means monitize your Vlogs. Safe travels. ❤
LOVE YOUR EPISODES,,,
And as I watch this episode of you life afloat, it's absolutely bucketing down here on the South Coast of England. The BBC has issued a Yellow Warning of Heavy Rain and Flooding until mid-day tomorrow. So far, it's been a cold and wet July. It's not been this bad in July since 2004, with more to come. With a bit of luck, we MIGHT get a summer this year, but as the Schools are now shutting for the Summer Holidays, we're not holding our breaths. Hey Ho! Russ, in Not so Sunny Hampshire.
Ditto up here in the Peak District too ... wetter than an otter's pocket!
Ouch, i guess we all have the rain then! Although, i would choose the hot rain over the cold, even with a bit of a bumpy night! Hopefully the sun shines for you soon Russ 😊
Giday, lovelies great vlog again, but hey what's with leaving little Teulu in need of a dingy doctor, that's not like u 2 at all. How awesome is it to be able to make drinking water from the sea, that's definitely a plus for human ingenuity. Be safe lots luv💜💜😁
6:53 The guy riding the motorcycle on a wet, muddy, gravel, downhill road is a braver man than I am!
Living life on the wild side! Haha
Legitimately couldn't watch this video without feeling nauseous
Sorry about that!
Awsome intro - Well done!!!
Now comes your honesty test. Would you do it the same all over again now knowing what you know about boating? I know your anwser. Just wanting to hear it from you guys.

is it just me or does the rolly's comfort others than just me? When I'm in those big seas and at anchor, it feels like i'm more comfortable than on land. Does anyone else feel like this?
When I was a kid, my dad was a trucker, I would sleep like a baby in the truck.
We love the gentle roll, but where nothing can stay on a surface and you need a Lee cloth, it’s less relaxing 😆🫣
With a Ketch rig you can put up a small amount of Missen, while at anchor to keep the bow into the wind and hopefully the direction of the swell.....
Unfortunatley there isn't much wind here and it swirls all over the place when it does come, otherwise thats a great idea
Boom out with holed bucket in water = roll damper.
Simple to try/experiment.
GREAT idea! Will try this next time 😊
Your spirit and attitude are amazing and infectious. Hope your leg is healing.
Thanks so much 😊
what a beautiful view you have on life!!! God bless you🙂
True sail adventure at its best .the real deal.
Zak has an uncanny resemblance to Michael sheen. Great content guys. Keep on smiling an happy days.❤
Haha thats funny, with the longer beard i can defo see it!
It’s good to have a not so good a day/days it makes you appreciate the better days, life is a journey not a destination.🐸

Your zest for life is inspiring and attitude to overcome setbacks (broken engine in the middle of nowhere) is admirable. I'm here for the rest of the journey now. Keep up the great the work.
Thanks for going back in time and seeing the whole story, that means a lot to us 😊 Glad you enjoyed and lots of exciting things to come!
Do you ever think to put up the Mizzen? That will keep the Boat Heading into the Wind when at Anker. I often used it when I was Commercial Fishing. Stay SAFE Guys!
We would but two issues with it: 1. Its really loud and we sleep below it and 2: Theres often not enough wind here for it to do anything annoyingly but thanks for the suggestion!
If your main boom reaches over the side you could rig a flopper stopper type arrangement .. might help with the roll a little. Thanks for the video.
Good idea 😊
Rock n rolling. Ya that's not fun. Hang in there. Thanx for another wonderful episode ❤️
All part of the ride, thanks for joining! 🤢😆
Love your life respect you all the way for living your dreams x
Living our dreams one RUclips video at a time! Thanks for cheering us on!

Looks like we've got the New Zealand spirit in us! Just gotta keep smiling 😊
Hey guys I love your positivity in any situation and your enthusiasm whatever the day brings you is brilliant take care both.
Thanks Stuart, got a bit bumpy out there for a second! But nothing a smile and a cup of tea can't fix
It is nice to watch. Hope you are well Billy
That is why Costa Rica is beautiful. It get lots of rain and rain comes with wind. Enjoy
It sure does- love how green the landscape becomes with all the rain though!
Great vlog guys well done!
On camera descriptions on anchor and active sailing in light winds fantastic content!
Enjoy the moment as I can only do from a distance.
Thx
The old saying “learning by doing “ good episode can’t wait to see you both fixing the small problems. 😅
Another fantastic video!
I was just in Guanacaste Costa Rica last week and it is the most amazing country! But yes... it is RAIN season!
Those houses through! They looked like proper tree houses when you were 1st showing them! How fantastic! I think you need to put heads together, ask around, what ever.. and find an Anchorage for sleep.. if there is such a place.. being exhausted is the worst.

Glad you enjoyed the vid! Unforunatley this coast is known to be pretty unprotected in places, but..worth it for the views right!
I do kind of like the storms. It is beautiful there.
Good job staying positive!
Thanks Dan!

Ufff... It was a Washing Machine!!!
Fair Winds, Becka and Zack!!
It sure was! Felt good to go for a walk 😂
Love your videos! Enjoy the journey I‘m cheering you on from switzerland 😍
you need some flopper stopper stabilizers helps with all the roll
Use a 2/3 leg bridle on your main anchor . Lead lines to bow and port and starboard stern / midships. You can adjust your angle to the swell by changing the lengths of the 2/3 lines!

Very lovely and rolling Onions. 🧅
Dang…What a “Messed Up” week in Costa Rica😜 Oh Well, Ya “Grinned and Bear It”…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
Costa Rica has been wild, but we're making the best of it. Thanks for joining us this week for the 'rough one' 😂
Duct tape and a good mindset! ❤😂 crazy cruisers😅
Duct tape may be a quick fix, but a good mindset is the real fix 😉
❤@@TeuluTribeyou're both amazing!!!!!
Thanks!
Ese es el color de mi país verde esperanza. Sueño con pronto seguir sus rumbos y el de otros navegantes 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Wow Sailor great episode ❤❤
Been watching you from your beginning. Just joined your Patreon. Dropped some added some. Love your videos!
We appreciate you sticking around since the beginning and now becoming a Patron of ours! Welcome to the Tribe 😊
One of your best, thoroughly enjoyed ❤
Awesome, thanks for the feedback! We are so happy you liked it.
Surprisingly, I have always had really great sea legs whenever I've been on a boat.

Recently I got my hands on a VR rig with a world feedback device. Amazing experience as it was, I couldn't take it for more than three minutes.
Thats crazy! I wonder what it is about being on a boat vs video game. Maybe its the fresh air? Or seeing the horizon which you might lack in a game?
@@TeuluTribe I think it's the lack of matching full body feedback and the quick and hectic bouncing of the camera that does me in. Compared with cameras in video games, even a small boat in a choppy sea moves quite ponderous.
Happy sailing! ⛵️
Happy Watching!

This is an awesome suggestion- thanks David!
I would get so seasick anchoring in that swell 😂😂😂
Haha honestly, it was a tad rough!
4:45 I never wuda believed that duct tape wud hold. Interesting
Neither did i! - Becka
Flopper stopper? Or an anchor bridal rigged to bring the bow into the swell instead of having it on the beam. It’s simple to rig and easier than a stern anchor to set up.
We love an anchor bridle but sadly it requires wind, which we are lacking here in the ITCZ zone here in Costa Rica!
@@TeuluTribe ah of course. We have had too much wind in the UK this summer force 9 for the Round the Island Race. So a lack of wind didn’t occur to me. 🤪 that leaves a flopper stopper I guess.

For sure, we are grateful to be living this life 😊
The transition @ 00:00:17 🤘
Wire in mast....put cable ties along it so the ends stick out pressing against the inside of the mast, min 3 every metre or so.
I think you guys need „hamacas“ 😂 (hammocks)
Just rewatched your Boat Tour from the early days. Mabey it's time for an update with all the changes you guys did to the Boat in the last two years? Would love to have a side by side comparison of how Teulu changed:) Love your Vids

Have you repaired the tear in that one compartment of the dingy already? If not, here's how I would approach that.
This starts with the question what material is around the air-inflated compartment. That determines what glue you need and what repair material will match.
In bicycling, there is a century old glue that helps repair a puncture in your bike's inner tire. You would use a patch of inner tube material with similar material properties and elasticity to glue over the hole. That works flawlessly and reliably. But the inner tube is restricted by the outer tire and that means there is a limitation to the load exerted by air pressure - the inner tube gets help from the outer and this helps the patch to stay in place. As soon as motorcycles and cars started to use "tubeless" tires, that changed the procedure.

Working this way would/could enable some clamping while the glue sets.
Next I would put air pressure in the zone and glue a patch on the outside. Make the patches oval in order to prevent sharp corners of the patch to easily work loose. "Clamp" using gaffer tape or so.
Super helpful info! Will read and digest that and give it ago, although the dingy is 14+ years old so its probably on its last legs!
Thanks
Thanks so much! That means a lot and will go towards our solar upgrades this summer 😊
Another awesome video blog!!! Keep it up
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 😊
I've just watched (more like binge-watched) all your videos over the past 3 weeks. Glad I found your excellent channel.
Wow, you both grew as people in 2 years. You were adventurous to start this and now you're both so brave, strong and resourceful!
I've learnt so much about what's required to run a boat from you and will begin next year. It's been many years for me (last aboard a Nautilus Swan 57 ketch, beautiful boat, years ago, and always had this desire to get afloat again).

Have you considered one of those FlopStoppers? They look like they might be helpful…
Onwards and upwards with a stiff upper lip and the bravado of Blighty to boot!!!
It sounds like that would have worked well...although not too sure where we would store it when not in use!
@@TeuluTribe I think they pack down to a
Manageable level for storage if I’m not mistaken
You should seek onboard activities that would be enhanced by all that rocking and rolling.
Who knew rocking and rolling could make activities more fun? Maybe we should start a dance class on deck 😉
The rolley anchorage. No fun. Stay safe!
The rolly anchorage? More like the rocky road of boating! Haha
@@TeuluTribe indeed!
It would be boring if everything went perfectly! That rolling reminds me of a night on a mooring buoy in Salcombe years ago, in a southerly gale. Hardly slept a wink !
Exactly! And they are always the most memorable times, as I’m sure Salcombe was for you 😆
Nice😊
Becka, you are without guile😊
In a rolling anchorage, put the mizzen sail out at an angle,that will help with rolling.
Good suggestion Dale- although unfortunately its a bit noisy our mizzen and with us sleeping below it becomes a bit of a challenge!
Love your videos. Hope Becca is doing ok.
Thanks so much. She is doing better! 😊
Done that feel for you in Albania not fun no sleep ❤
Rolly anchorages are the worst!
HaHaHa, Aí caramba!
To stop things sliding about wet some towels or tee shirts ring them out until damp put on table tops or counter tops to stop rolling a round in bed jam something under outside ove your mattress
Good suggestion, just trying to minimise the damp inside as it creates mould, but short term this is a great idea 😊
💜
Hammocks! You need hammocks 😀
Haha i think we do!

You sound exactly like Bebehan on u tube you could be sisters 😊❤
Im surprised you didnt have a repair kit for the dingy.. Duct tape to the rescue!
Duct tape is like the Swiss Army knife of boat repairs!
