![These Worms EAT Wooden Boats! - Saving North Star - [Ep. 5]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Yi9Z_KNXgFo/mqdefault.jpg)
I am always impressed at how well you can record everything even when it must be very inconvenient to have to record everything. Unless people make a lot of videos I don't think they appreciate the difficulty sometimes of doing stuff and having the camera on and getting the right angles and the audio and so on you make it look very easy. I feel so sorry about Moe's tooth I hope she has good luck at the dentist sometimes they can be an adventure also can't wait for Eanna to come back for a bit I wish he could stay with you all the time
I laughed so hard. Mo is angry for good reason. Oh look at those rocks!
Epic
watching you cook is like watching a one handed bull in a china shop! You definitely have skills. No disrespect its awesome!!
Amazing how you cooked in those conditions! 10/10😁
Congrats, and a big thanks for posting the video. Bravo.
Many thanks!
Well I've been watching you dock for years and you haven't messed it up so far as I can see. I remember you having trouble getting out of Greenland around those bergie bits, I think your last day. That was nerve racking! Can't wait to see Eanna again. Fun times ahead.
Your perseverance has always amazed me, and you only get get more efficient. Sorry to hear about Mo's filling.
Éanna arís😮 The boy is back! What fun ❤ can’t wait!
IALA Region B covers just the Americas, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines - the rest of the world - the majority - is like the UK.
❤❤
Drake is so right...the most stressfull time is docking...not un-docking...good vid...will be good to see Enana...Does he have a girlfriend yet...?
That island's great basket island has caretakers who live and work there six months of the year there is a Ben fogle documentary about it on UA-cam

I have lived by an island and ican tell you now that it is hard. Everything comes on the ferry.including feul. So not much different to being on an boat at ancour.

Green and red isn't opposite just in UK and Ireland, it's zones a and b. Half of the world is one way the other half the other
Your hardtop enclosure looks a good halfway between spray dodger and a wheelhouse. How do you fair for windage? Does it increase much your leeway because of the hardtop dodger?
I’m not sure how much the windage from the cockpit enclosure is effecting our sailing performance. With her full keel Paragon tracks really well when underway. When I bought the boat, she only had a dodger. I custom designed and built the enclosure (hiring specialists for various aspects). I think it’s great for protecting us from wind and spray offshore, and especially in heavy weather.
Is Your anchorball is still up ?
No, those are radar reflectors. We have two of them hanging from the spreaders. With them up, we are sure to show up on the radars of other vessels. www.landfallnavigation.com/davis-emergency-radar-reflect.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz8GuBhCxARIsAOpzk8zZw3b1ePAF2lbeOyxNkGKEJohy8cRYJHWLOIo7W1fCTVChSuFoKqcaAiSAEALw_wcB
Why not try the Hydrovane?
When this video was filmed, I had only just recently finished installing the Hydrovane and hadn't had any experience using it yet. I wanted to wait for more ideal conditions for it's first tests than we had on this sail, much of which was very close to dead down wind. So I stuck with what I knew would work fine, using our CPT autopilot. If you'd like to see our first real test of the Hydrovane while offshore, check out this more recent video. The link starts where we started using the Hydrovane. ua-cam.com/video/tW08Dnk3fwc/v-deo.htmlsi=tmNDktfvrTQPSktx&t=1498
Anyone who is sick should not be eating. Remember what Hippocrates said after he said "Let food be thy medicine and medicine by they food. But to eat when sick is to feed the sickness." The last thing you want to do is slow down the recovery process and that is exactly what we do when we eat when sick.
