Gin and Tonic works brilliantly tbh. 👍eta, its the Quinine in the Undian Tonic Water. the Chindits were given it in bulk when fighting behind Japanese Lines in the Jungle. My next door neighbour's Dad was a Chindit Surgeon. After WW2, and back as a Hospital Surgeon, he stuck with a half bottle of Gin to about two litres of Tonic per day, valong with Cigarettes (Nicotine kills parasites, Bacteria and viruses) and Teddy was still as fit as a fiddle, when he was in his 90's when I last saw him. Royal Navy Officers Pink Gin kept them fit too, same for the Rum Ration. 👍
I've read nothing but bad things about Edward William - you should have expected them not to pay no matter what measures you took to follow their rules. Thanks for consistently high quality "news you can use."
To be fair I found comments from people who had been paid out on their claims..That was what originally encouraged me to go with them last year. I think the ne incarnation of the company is run by business people who have read books about sailing but are experts in 'financial risk' minimisation!
@@SailingGently In the industry, it is expected that scam companies pay a few claims to ensure they are not totally labeled as denying all claims. They will pay just enough claims to make them look legit. The bottom line is Ion, the underwriter, is not rated. This means you have no earthly idea if they have funds to pay a large claim, or not. There is no way to verify. Also, Ion is 2 shell companies upon which all the EW policies are written, American Somoa and Costa Rica. All policies they sell are governed by the laws of one of these 2 countries. You need to ask yourself why it is they do this. You get a gold star if you think it is because it makes them darn hard to sue if they deny a claim.
@@MrMarkandMsCindy That is fascinating Mark and frankly you confirm my suspicions. I was desperate to find insurance when ORM became so impossible and expensive that in order to confirm my marina place which required proof of insurance I took on a policy of which I had serious doubts. Now EW appears to have changed ownership and moved to the USA it appears the use of 'get out' clauses is their way of avoiding major claims!
Michael - information gold as usual. Thanks again! I’ve been using a bug zapper which is a great option while connected to shore power. They will drain a 20 amp hour power bank over night as they are about half a small fridge. So when away from the marina the spray and cream are probably better. They definitely work and may be better long term health wise but yes definitely power hungry to do the actual zapping
Tom thank you for that. I will have a look in the local chandlers to see if they stock Bug Zappers... Hardly use any electricity except for the fridge and computer!
Very informative video, so thank you. It tried to snow in London this afternoon, and we had severe flooding up North. Several narrow-boats have sunk in marinas. I used a 4G EE router recently, and it performed well. Best wishes from London.
Russ that sounds cold and it's hard to imagine that kids growing up here have never ever seen snow... Narrow boats sinking sounds so sad. Glad you ;liked the video
@@SailingGently This will make you laugh, getting home in a blizzard, 300 yds from home, this about 1992 ish.as I left the shelter of the forest onto the open hilltop, the car got buried in about a 10ft Snow Snow Drift. Literally 300 yards from the gate to the entrance to my place, and wearing pretty good clothing under an ex Berman Army Parka, I thought no problem, got to the other side of that drift, got through another about the same size, and the wind chill and strain of pushing through the snow was doing me in. Half way through the next Drift I collapsed into it, and just being out of that wind was absolute bliss. I was just dropping off to sleep and a thought hit me - Hang on, If I stay here, I’m going to freeze to death, but it was so nice in there, I didn’t really care. So I Managed to break out of the other side, Blizzard still going Crazy, but the next drift was only about 6 feet, the one after 5 feet, and a couple of even shorter ones and I was in the shelter of the Beech Trees around my place. Problem, my hands were so cold, I couldn’t even feel the door keys in my pocket, and it took about another half an hour before I could get the door open. Then Light the Morso Squirrel, with some South African Petro Coke, and put the kettle on.I’ve Never Been able to tolerate the cold ever since. Hence my need to get to the Caribbean. I can understand why when it was their time, the Native Americans would go out into the Snow, and get into a Snowdrift to Die now though. It has to be one of the nicest ways to cross over. I didn’t expect that.Bob.🤔🌟🌟🌟❤️
Hello, we really liked your video’s on the méditerranéen snd France. Thats why we mentionner you/ your YT Channel in our latest vidéo: Barolo boat - kosten varen naar zuid Frankrijk. I am working on the translation. Asap Best regards
Greetings from BsM. Bit of an update for you. Very soon Starlink version3 is about to be released in Europe. Big difference is that the dish comes in two versions motorised and flat without any motor. This the residential version not some esoteric super yacht item. This cuts the power consumption down to manageable levels. The whole contraption actually runs on 12 and 48 volts and I recommend searching for an Australian chap on YT who demonstrates a bypass box for the router, which is mainly a mains powered power supply, with a 12 volt box. Couple this with a soon to be no motor dish with the snow heater disabled and power suddenly becomes manageable, certainly with Lith batteries. P.S, its -5C here in the marina…but at least we don’t have any mozies!
Just finished anointing myself with post bite gel!! Looking round the marina here at least 10% of the resident boats have some form of starlink and I'm sure it's the future... maybe to the virtual exclusion of all other systems! Not sure what the traffic capacity of their satellites are. However at this moment in time your router-simply system is a far better investment for someone in a boat
I'm certain Paul that starlink is the future although I do wonder what the traffic capacity of the satellite is... but clearly there has to be a regular 12v solution for non technical people like me
I read about one way to set starlink to save energy. People disable the motor that makes it reposition itself. It works better with the boat's rocking, and saves battery. There are videos explaining how to make a hole in an exact location, where the engine connection plug can be removed with a screwdriver.
Didn't know you could disable the motor on the antenna but I can see that working in a marina to save money, but on an anchorage swinging in a circle round the hook. I would have thought the antenna would need to 'track' a satellite... But could be wrong
Once again solid information thanks. I wonder how much your insurance would change for the same boat doing a circumnavigation, avoiding the hurricane seasons, and staying with fair winds as best as possible?
Pantaenus insured me all round the world in my Moody 36 for quite a reasonable premium but I think it was area by area. Pro rata much lower premiums than these i the Caribbean
Great information and video Michael. Does your euro phone allow use of an esim? I was just traveling in Guadeloupe and a esim worked great for data, and you can keep your euro number in the phone just in case.
Yes it does allow an ESIM but it also allows two physical sims so I'm not sure what would be better... I sort of get the feeling that E-Sims are more for brief visits and holidays - I'm out here for months at a go and the Pay as you Go will work on any island but clearly I am no expert at all this
Thank you so much for this video. This is a current issue for me. I think I’m going to be stuck with Jackline insurance through Gowrie group. I actually have a separate question for you. I will be spending 18 months in the Mediterranean after taking a delivery of a Hallberg Rassy this spring. We plan to summer in southern Spain, but then next year plan to do Corsica and Italy. Are there any marinas that you are familiar with that are as affordable as Almerimar nearer to Italy?
@@sailinghaldis I'm just glad that the 'old' films, shot on tape have found a living home. It was actually for them that I started the channel then it 'grew like Daisy'
Typical Michael I posted about 4G LTE Routers before you got to yours and TP Link gear I have found to be good. Mine is a lot bigger than the one you bulkhead mounted, that you can take it ashore looks great, and the cost for a 100 gigabyte SIM looks brilliant plus the router cost great value, so the important question is what Download and Upload Bandwidth are you getting as throughput with it ? As I may leave my monster router here, as a lesser performance would be perfectly acceptable frankly. Bob. 🤔
Bob hi, I am not a techi and struggle with numbers but basically my little router and Digicel 100g sim is on 24/7 here in the boat and I'm using this laptop and phone connected to it for a lot of the day. including listening to UK radio via a link (into my little Sony BASS speaker) In the evenings I will watch up to 3 hours 'telly' - Netflix Prime etc.. and so far no issues. I don't actually ever take it ashore as all the cafes and restaurants have free WIFI - but I could -it's designed for back packers!
@@SailingGently Hi Michael , I’ve been looking into these M7350 routers the last few hours and they are really excellent, and only really lack an external antenna socket.For perspective, mine cost well over £100 more than one of these, and I have confirmed that with an external Power Bank and a USB to Micro USB cable plugged in, you can massively extend the hours of use say a 16,000 mah one (not expensive) you should be able to get about eight times as long as the 2,000 mah they come supplied with, and I haven’t seen any reports of them having poor reception if you are getting good signal for a obile phone. There is another TP Link Model, the M700 if I remember correctly which is available here for around £40 and I may grab one to compare, though it is a bit lacking compared to the other one, it may still be a great one to have as the performance appears to be about the same. I was providing TP Link Home Network Routers when I was still building Custom Computers, as they were great value and very reliable, so it’s not a brand I’m unfamiliar with. Thanks for the insights into this model, as well as that very useful sounding Caribbean Mobile Network provider with broad Caribbean Coverage If you are streaming Netflix and Prime, then that confirms enough Bandwidth for me personally as being in line with all I need. I agree that Starlink isn’t ready yet, but 4G LTE should always be able to significantly undercut them on Price I used to be a very big consumer of Data, from Updating the Software, Drivers, and operating systems of new Computers - when I started, it used to take a full week doing the updates per computer believe it or not, plus Testing Software for Microsoft and others, plus as a Computer Games Tester to keep an eye on AI research and development when it switched from Sussex University into Computer Games in the 1970’s. So when on a boat now, I like to turn it off tbh.Best Wishes. Bob.🤔🌟🌟🌟👍
@@brownnoise357 That's great to have confirmation from an expert that my system is as good as it gets.
