You're in America, Mate. That is called a grill. Bar-B-Que is the process of low heat for a long period using hardwood and to add a kiss of smoke to whatever you're cooking.
Hey DWB, Thanks for watching and the comment. We even struggle at the supermarkets when looking for something to put the groceries in and when we ask we are told they don’t have any “trolleys”.... A grill to us is when you cook something with an element over the top, bonnet/ hood, boot/ trunk - we are getting bilingual gradually!!!!! The good ones are thongs (sandals), woody, Randy and more. All good fun... I had to learn Australian when I moved there too... John and Eli
Thanks for watching Jeremy, There are more fit out episodes going up so hope you enjoy them too and let us know if you want to see more detail about some aspects of the process. We have been asked to have a video about the options and the process we went through making those decisions so that will be coming up in the future too. Regards, John and Eli

Hello both, well done and informative, I am currently researching this myself, its that time of life I guess, mid 50`s living in China, sooo time for a change....keep the content coming.
Ouch! The cost of installing sattlelite connectivity is more much more than I would have expected. One thing I will say is that SpaceX have launched their Starlink service -- works in the same way, but is currently suitable for rural homes -- it offers 100X the speed at 100X less than current marine solutions. I should imagine it would be the defacto service for sailors once they launch a boat/van version. Very informative video nevetheless! Can't wait to see the next one.
Thanks for bringing that up. I have signed up for SPaceX updates but until they produce a satellite that has wider coverage we will be stuck with the high cost ones and then maybe the competition will reduce the other's fees! It would be good to have more affordable satellite connectivity as we really only use it when we need to and the unlimited channel is good for weather and emails every day.... Live in hope for the Space X promise of cheaper services! Thanks for the feedback and for watching. John and Eli
Hi, guys. it would be a good idea to have a half litre spray bottle on hand into which you mix in some detergent into clean water so that you can spray the fittings after you turn on the gas/LPG supply to make sure that you don't have any bubbles in evidence, which would indicate that the fitting(s) are NOT sealed properly. I couldn't determine in the video how well that you wound on the gas fitters plumbing tape to the threads on the various fittings nor how much tension you applied to the fitting. 'Hand tight' would not necessarily produce an efficient seal. If the safety cut-off device kicks in this will help you locate the unsealed fitting.
Yes thanks Gypsy Jack, I am always concerned about the risk of gas leaks so have always tightened the fittings with spanners and use the tape generously to the full depth of the thread. I have used a spray bottle in the past, just did not have one available (empty). So thanks for the great advice for all of us and thanks for watching! Eli and John
Loving the video’s guys! How are you finding the leopard so far? One little thing, the sound effects are a little weird and you can’t hear what’s being said.
Thanks for watching Joe. We are really happy with the Leopard this season aNd are waiting on a proper spinnaker that will help us sail well in light winds. The sound that has not worked well is when we have used the iPhone and the sound pickup is poor. We are trying to get better sound so will helpfully improve the quality going forwards. Regards, John and Eli
Hey again Darren, LOL!!! Thanks for commenting and there may well be opportunities to join us for our followers in the futures. House training will certainly be an advantage and when the borders open, it ill be easier to have friends on board! Eli and John
Yes they will all go out of business or have to adjust their fees to be competitive which will be better for the consumers. Let's hope it happens quickly.
Hey Conrad, congrats on watching through to the end! Thanks for the comment and we will try to get a non-doorbell ding for the notification bell. There are many more episodes ahead of this one withe same sound but we will try and fix it forfeiture episodes (Nov 2022!)
@@kostasvasilopoulos4468 The key for us is going to be having the coverage in the areas like the Caribbean and Pacific. We hope it comes soon. If it is already functioning off boats in the Med, that is very promising!
Ouch that is a lot of money wasted though to be fair there was no way at that point that StarLink was going to take off the way it has. Pun not intended now the existing systems are not suitable for mobile use however StarLink move fast and have applied for licenses for RV aircraft and Maritime use. The equipment they use is quiet different in the base stations and not compatible with your $30,000 system exactly what the mobile version will be we will have to see but the existing systems use electronic steering to lock onto a satellite unlike yours which is a 3 axis physical system. Their satellites are in lower orbit and since their has to be you and a Base station in its footprint the coverage might not be so good mid pacific. However they are testing Laser links on Satellites now so if there is no base station it passes it on to another satellite. On the flipside and good news for you is that what you have got is the only alternative at the moment. SpaceX act fast and they have already trialled it for the USAF so considerably development will go into the mobile system. It will no doubt be considerably cheaper and the monthly data costs will as well. Of course no one has any idea when they will hit the market but they act fast and I would not be surprised if you can buy one this time next year. The other advantages you will find is that it will be both more reliable as less moving parts and require less power to run for more or less the same reasons.
Dear Glen, Thanks for the detailed update on Starlink - great info and we wait in anticipation... Yes we knew the risk of obsalescence for our dome when starlink is functional but we really needed to have connectivity for these next 12 months due to business needs. If Starlink works and saves us $1000 per month we will sacrifice the asset value. Sad but with no options now, we took the plunge with the gratitude that we could afford it! Regards, John and Eli
Lovely BBQ but get a cover for bottom gas fitting to stop salt spray going onto fitting and you have the best BBQ ever,
Thanks Geoff, good point.
I started watching # 10 after I saw the mid #30's series - exiting things you have to look forward to from now on. Cant wait to see the new Catamaran.
Thanks!

That barbecue looks too close to the outboard motor fumes, sorry doc.
We only ran the BBQ at anchor with the dinghy in the water - too close for petrol and splattering fat onto the PVC too.
HOT GAS SOLENOID _____ should be only powered by 5V after it is activated on by a 12V pulse THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Thanks for letting us know that - I will get the electricians to check it out to make sure that it is all functioning properly!

Starlink is going to put them all out of business in a few years.
Yes they will all go out of business or have to adjust their fees to be competitive which will be better for the consumers. Let's hope it happens quickly.
first you turn off the valve with the barbeque still on so the remaining gas is burnt
Yes very good point!!! Thanks for that - hope all the other viewers see this comment too.

We hope it works cause the existing services are OTT...
