Anchor outside the marina then you don't have to pay. It's what I do then just rib up on the beach and go to the shop

Don't let them Orcas get ya

Been a long time since we were in Oban, but there are plenty of anchorages about the place.

LOL

wow so helpful. Can you tell me what model number that cable is that for the gear shift?

Hi, I bought the Surfola sf 230 camera, but I don't know how to activate the microphone, can you help?

Hi, what's you travel plan? Circumnavigating UK?

Nice drone shots.

Do you have any tips or suggestions for replacing the springs for this mechanism? I’m having difficulty stretching them to get them on. Thanks!

I couldn’t tell where that large o-ring goes? Is it all the way up to the mating surface or is it on the next step down?

Good drills and well done - great training video 👍

Glad your safe ❤

looks like your having a great journey despite a bit of filter trouble ,do you intend staying on the west coast ?

The camera always dilutes the experience of rough sea. We know from experience that the RNLI like a "casualty vessel" to call as early as possible so it was a good call. That swivel on your anchor is a point of failure. The fork of the swivel can be prised open by the anchor shank. Use 3 or 4 links of chain one size up from your anchor chain and put it between the shank and the swivel to relieve side loads on the swivel fork.

change the fuel filters more often, then you get to know if you got crap in the tanks

Nice one... May a suggest that you guys always include the word sailing in your video titles..? It's one of the most used search words on UA-cam and should give you more views.. hopefully..🙂

Just curious as to why you didn't sail, you seemed to have enough wind?

Nicely done, and cheers to the RNLI!

Omg you’ve good bigger balls than me , ! Great video

Great video. Thankful that everyone is safe and OK.

do you dose your fuel with a biocide regularly ?

Just to explain why we couldn't sail out of the situation. Baru is not a yacht, she is a motor sailer, and is heavy 6.5 tonnes, while she does sail nicely when the wind is in the right direction. On this occasion the gusts were ok, but hitting only 10 degrees off our bow, so in the dead area for us, she will not sail so close hauled. We also had a 4kt current against the wind, so that was giving wind over tide, and pushing us into the sand bank. Baru also is shallow keeled, so does tend to be easily pushed, to over come this the engine is required. Now not knowing for sure what the bottom was like, I had a very good idea that it would soft sand or mud. we had just come out of 30 odd metres of depth rising rapidly to 5m with the sand bank 1 nm away. With a 4kt current I had 15mins only before we would have been on it. As to the wind following when we were under tow, yes it was, by then it was 2 hrs later, and the breeze, as it had died down by then, had shifted. The last thing we wanted to do was put the call out, but there was no alternative. A couple with a rib did try to help, the idea was to tow us into the lee of Fort George so I could change filters etc, but even with Thier 60hp outboard they could not pull us against the tidal flow so I could take the strain off the anchor chain, we tried to lift the anchor, but with the strain on the chain it caused it to jam on the stripper, breaking it.

Windy app will give you wave height. It is important to add water and biocide treatments to your fuel tanks so the filters don't get fouled.

I actually owned an ex Whitehills lifeboat the St Andrews a 41ft Watson and several other ex lifeboat owners had trouble with fuel issues, this was put down to a growth forming in the fuel tanks and clogging filters believed caused by newer bio fuels. I've had the same issues with my home heating fuel where a fungus grew within the tank, on both occasions I added a fuel additive to stop the growth forming. I actually sailed the St Andrew back to Whitehills before I sold her, what a reception we received, a very friendly harbour if passing. Take care ua-cam.com/video/13LJP8xuzC4/v-deo.htmlsi=s-gx84huKAj97KVG

Reminds me of running into clogged fuel lines somewhere between Norway and Scotland. Remember how uncomfortable it was to work on the filters in choppy seas. Felt a wee bit lost outside WiFi range. But got it going and made it to Fraserburgh where competent mechanics put on double Racor filters. The yards there are fantastic; they know their stuff, no hanky-panky.

What a welcoming sight to see the RNLI approaching from the distance. Imagine if they didn't exist:

Well done in your actions to drop the anchor to hod your position and then onto the radio for help. It just goes to show that it is usually the simple things that trip you up at just the wrong time wrong moment. As a biker and a sailor I started years ago to have a shammy sock made and I put it over any nozzle of any fuel delivery system I use. This catches both moisture and particles and saves allot of headaches further down the line. Well done and enjoy your sailing

Glad to see the lifeboat upon which my father’s in law, is one of the ten thousand names on it, was able to help you out. Thank you for posting the video nice to see him out on the water once again.

glad your all safe, you did pick the worst place to brake down though haha the tide rips through there it's strange this video came up in my news feed as i heard about your rescue on face book a few weeks ago, i live just around the corner of the fort and spent most off my ife sailing around the moryfirth and know the coxin of the invergordon life boat and my dads name is on the side off it, it was good training for the crew too

That pregnant pause as you wait for the answer to your pan pan, have they heard me ? Then it comes, that lovely lassie at Aberdeen Coast Guard, the voice of an angel. Great video and actually a good teaching aid on how to deal with a difficult situation without drama. Top marks to the good humoured RNLI crew too. Fuel probs seem to be the prevailing nightmare of boaters these days. Would a parallel filter be an idea ? Then you could switch across and possibly alleviate the issue ?

At least your all safe. nice work dropping the anchor. Brilliant channel and excellent videos.

Good drills on deploying the anchor straight away, nice and calm no panicking. Good radio skills, I learnt a few things here and I'm sure others will have too. All the very best.

Good experience, and I am confident this video will help others who get into trouble at sea.

Hi, great videos, i understand much more about these now. Is it the same process with 280 legs?

Thank you so much for this - you make it look easy. I'm still a newbie so harbor or lock entrance then berthing is still stressful.

I did not get the name of the harbour you are in in the begining of the video, nice place.

I think that electrics are one of the dodgiest items in cars or boats because everyone thinks that 12V is safe to play around with and do half-ar*ed mods and repairs to. You would really be well advised to check every electrical wire and connection you can reach and remove the abominations left by previous owners. BTW, what the heck was the winch and the windlass doing on the same breaker? You are certainly getting one heck of a shakedown sail 😄Where there no anchorages for temporary shelter?

This is not to do with this video but what did you do to my Mary an Hepworth why did you have to paint it blue and black

have been watching since beginning, love the videos, but you really need to fix your audio, wind noise makes it very difficult to hear sometimes. keep up the good work

When measuring the gap on the top bearing cover is it done with or without the gasket ?

what boat you got?

Thanks for sharing your boat life.... Cheers from Portugal

Hi

Windscreen wiper blade needs replacing 😊

You should install a anchor safety lanyard

I also forgot to add that when you either put the Wi-Fi on through your phone and you have the mic near to the camera you get nothing but a ticking sound that basically spoils your complete recording.. I'm not exactly sure whether it's the mic feedback from being near the operating box being the camera put many videos that I have done has a horrible ticking buzzing noise.. the unit itself without the external mic is completely useless the sound is poor and just terrible!!! Like I said I only unboxed it yesterday and I am sure that I will find the problem for why I get this feedback. But I do believe it isn't worth it's money it should be ranging for about £30 has now I wish he had a saved up and bought something more expensive . I've learnt a valuable lesson not to buy being very impulsive. I think I will just buy a normal USB c type mic 🎤 that may be better quality and give less feedback .
