- Join Mark, Fiona and Renee as they enjoy Santorini but then need to urgently head to Athens for a stabiliser failure fix - again!! #adventure #cruise #nordhavn #boat #nz #sailing #yacht
Best travel/Nordhaven videos ever. Just love it. 52.02 minutes with laughter and smile and beauitiful Greek islands.
Thanks so much…very encouraging
Hanging on the edge of our seats for the next episode! Your natural humour is awesome guys!
Got it working with Gary!!!!!
I am truly enjoying the comedy on this channel! Loving the trip so far, just wish they’d solve the problem with the stabilizers. Good job on the oil change. One tip I’d give is for you to partially fill up the new oil filter before you install it with new oil. This way the engine is not running empty while it waits for oil to go through the filter and into the engine. Belated Happy Birthday Renee! Welcome back!
Great tip, offered by others as well so you right on track
Another great episode.
Stabilizer down again. Ah, the fun of new boat teething problems.
Indeed
@@AwanuiNZ Getting beyond teething problems.

The entertainment is non stop! Laugh a minute please keep it up.
We will promise…..real art is learning how to video in a sequence to reduce editing and to keep the story going.
Always interested in all maintenance aspects of engines, fuel, water, etc. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all. I wish you well. 😊👍🇨🇦
Thanks for taking the time to comment
Is this real or a sitcom??? lmao Cant wait for the next episode guys!🤣🤣🤣
Definitely sitcom!!
Totally real!!
Seeing another Awanui adventure appear is an absolute highlight as I have my morning coffee. The Greek islands are truly beautiful and love seeing them. The oil change was so interesting and was so relieved the oil didn’t go everywhere! Good job! You guys are such a joy to watch as you continue this wonderful journey and learn the in’s and out’s of your beautiful Nordhavn, follow all the new customs of various countries, and finally, hopefully get the stabilizers fixed! So nice of you to help out your hitchhiker though I thought Mark was going to bounce the poor man right out of the dinghy🤣….glad to see Renee could come back and join you…….stay safe…til next time!❤
Thanks so much for the positive feedback….maybe two coffees?
I love your videos that show all the trials and tribulations of boating. It’s not always wine and roses. Regarding the oil change, a trick I use with the oil filter is to punch a hole in the bottom with an awl or similar tool and let the oil drain out for a few minutes into a suitable container till it stops. No fuss, no muss.
Love it thanks
Another fantastic video. Really honest with no filters, great. Reminds me of myself when I had a boat built. The first few times I took her into harbour I was very nervous, to say the least.! Looking forward to next video.
Won’t be long……under production
Who doesnt love a noordhaven and its great to see the daily chores in such detail..thanks for sharing crew 🏴👋🏻
Yip lots of daily chores that’s for sure.
Love the warts and all video, team. Oil change tip: once the old oil filter is loosened, use a plastic bag (we used supermarket bags that are no longer available) like a glove and continue loosening so that when the filter is free, all spillage is contained within the plastic bag. With care you get no oil on your hands or engine block, and none in the bilge. Even without stabilisers, Awanui NZ was well behaved in the short sea. A lovely vessel.
Wow we have been given great tips, thanks so much
@@AwanuiNZ Yep, I was going to say something similar. I use (N47) two Ziplock bags: first one is big enough to hold the filter with oil and a second bigger one holds the whole thing. No spillage and easy disposal when you get to a proper oil disposal facility.
😂 I broke out in hysterics when you took off in the tender with Jen-Pierre. After settling quietly into his seat the throttle went to full power his narrow brimmed potae nearly blew off, he held on to it in his mouth and proceeded to be violently bumped around and no doubt got very wet. Would have gone down well in a Monty Pythons skit.
Loved the video. You clearly are learning heaps. By the time you get to Picton you’ll be experts.
Love the positivity
Best wishes. 😂
Not sure he enjoyed it…..Renee did not and made that very clear. Bit uncomfortable but 10 minutes rather than 25! We having fun and learning heaps…make lots of mistakes but nothing catostrophic yet! Great hearing from you David.
Another great video. Thank you all. You are an awesome family, safe sales.
Thanks so much we are really enjoying making them and the feedback
I found you a couple of months ago and you sparked my interest when you said you were heading back home to Picton, so I thought I had better stick around d for the long haul, I was born and bred in Blenheim and spent many wonderful times in the Marlborough Sounds fishing and hunting, but now I'm 10.000 klms away in Qingyuan, southern China, who would have thought, o safe passages to you both whilst I follow along, even with your R18. Rating😂😂🙏🙏🙏
Wow that is a long way from home. Thanks for watching
Great video again and you found a nice anchorage near Santorini. That will be a birthday to remember for Renee, once in a lifetime experience !
Also good to see you had a calm passage over the Aegean, at least no crossing at high winds and seas. But a bit of a shame of what ABT has delivered to you. That system should have been functioning flawless, so make sure you get it 100 % fixed before warranty runs out. Hope they won't tell you to come back to Turkey for it.
Like others I have again a few tips, you decide if you like them or not and want to use them.
- If you carry your dinghy always on the dinghy deck, be careful not to inflate the tubes to full pressure when the dinghy is on the deck. Once you get to July and August it will become so hot that the pressure inside the tubes just keeps building up and it can rupture the tubes. Don't ask us how we know. 😀
Also for your dinghy, have some covers made for the tubes, it will not only keep them clean, but it will also make the dinghy last longer. The glue between the parts of the tubes dries out in the summer heat real fast, so any protection you can give them helps preserve the dinghy.
- For going stern to there are several options. Either you buy 2 or 4 times the pre made rope loop (4 mtr version, not the 3 mtr version) or you buy 2 (or 4) times 5 mtr of 8 or 10 mm chain (galvenized, not stainless steel). If you are going stern to around a tree you have to use (mandatory) the rope version, but if you have to wrap around a rock don't use the rope version, use chain and connect if with a D-ring to your land line. The rocks can (and will) chafe the rope version, you could be in for a nasty surprise if there is a bit of wind during the night.
Only when the anchorage is really calm and there are no other boats we will use one land line, but most of the time we use 2. If circumstances permit and we stay somewhere longer we will actually use 4 land lines. Two to the stern and two to the side. That way we can never end up on the rocks.
Also, don't let anyone else use the same rock or tree to wrap their land line to. If they wrap their loop around the rock or the tree over your loop, you won't be able to leave, you will have to wait until they leave.
The land line also comes in handy when you have to go back to retrieve the landline. Keep the stern and bow of the dinghy tied to the land line with a D-ring and your dinghy won't slam into the rocks while you are trying to untie the loop around the rock. At worst it will be the bow that hits the rocks, but not the side tubes.
Lastly, buy some small floating buoys, and tie them at intervals to the land line. That way others can see you have a land line out and they won't come racing through with their dinghy. Those things can happen when the charter season starts again, charterers are not known to have great knowledge of boats.
- As for tying up the dinghy to the boat, your dinghy has a connecting point on the bow (where you tie it down on the deck), put a D-ring in there and tie the line to that D-ring, it cannot come loose anymore. Otherwise, do it as you do now, but go first through the middle of your cleat, then go left and right around back over the cleat. It won't be able to come loose. As an added safety, tie the stern of the dinghy, with a D-ring and a bit of line to the land line. If the dinghy comes loose on the bow it won't drift away since it is tied to the stern line. On top of that it will prevent the dinghy from slamming into the boat when the wind changes.
- I already mentioned D-rings, they come in extremely handy, don't cost that much (couple of euro a piece), just always make sure you have enough of them in every sizes. Can buy them at a chandler, but any Chinese wholesale shop also has them and they are much cheaper there. We normally carry around 20 onboard, so can easily grab a new one if you drop one in the water (and yes, that happens as well 😀) there is no need to go diving, just grab a new one. Put some grease on the pins and if you use them for mooring (or any other long term use), make sure to lock them with a wire or an extra pin. Most D-rings are galvanized (or not even), so eventually they will corrode and then you simply discard them, start using a new one.
- To protect your mooring lines buy a couple of inner tires for bicycles and pull the line through. That way you protect the hull when you are moored. The tube will also prevent chafing, which is the biggest problem if you loop lines back to the boat in a mooring field or in a port.
- When you grab a mooring buoy spend some time to inspect the underwater connection of that mooring buoys. Many buoys don't get any maintenance whatsoever and that might not be a problem for a 7 to 10 ton sailing vessel, but our type of boats are much heavier and catch much more wind. The strain on the mooring buoy in a stiff breeze could become too much for the mooring buoy if that thing is poorly maintained and you will find yourself on the shore. Just take a look at the channel of wandering hillbilly and you will see what the consequences can be.
ua-cam.com/video/Q2UU2w4Ok0g/v-deo.html
- Last tip and hopefully we don't annoy you with all these tips. To make your life a bit easier when removing the full oil filter, drill of poke a hole in it on the side (have to hold a bucket below to catch the oil) as low as you can (bottom is not possible since it is a double bottom). The oil in the filter will drain out and when the oil stops coming out, clean the side and tape it off with some masking tape. The filter will drain to that level and it will make taking off the filter a lot less messy.
After the oil filter has been changed put again a bit of masking tape on it and write the date plus engine hours when you changed the filter. That way anyone can see in an instance when the filters (and most likely oil) was changed.
In any case we enjoyed watching your video again, looking forward to the next one.
Hey thank you so much for a great deal of very useful information……we will store it away and start using as much of it and as soon as we can. Great stuff. Thanks for your support.
Gday again Mark, little tip my old man taught me, never turn the dipstick upside down when you take it out as the oil may move a couple of mils and give you a bad read. Love the vids you guys so down to earth and honest, happy birthday Renee. Cheers Rob from Geraldton, West Oz
Thank you quite right
Love your videos. Candor, humor and fine voyaging.
Thank you kindly!
Great video
Love it
love the changing of the oil part as well 👏👏
Keep them coming please.
We will…we enjoy making them…just being us
@@AwanuiNZ Looking forward to those docking videos
great job
lol - another fun video. My little bit of input.
Always run a safety line to a mooring , and go to a different cleat. That gives redundancy line and cleat, plus if the boat watches (not stern ties) it distributes the load.
As may have already been mentioned, put a small bucket under the filter - it’ll collect the oil and you can drop the filter into it.
That chain lift is killing me! I think you are already going to replace it, but for now think about zip tying some some rags around areas contacting the tender as chafe gear.
Keep em coming!
Ok so help me here…understand everything except line 2? Cheers
@@AwanuiNZ Regarding your mooring setup? Meaning - in your video you ran a line from the stbd cleat, out to the mooring and back to the same cleat. If that cleat or line fails for whatever reason, your boat is no longer attached to the mooring. Therefore, once you are secured to the mooring like you are, then run a second line from the port cleat down to the mooring and back to the port cleat. This is your "safety". If need be, you can use your tender to assist this. What we do is once secured to the mooring with one line (my wife at the bow and me at the helm) she directs me to move the boat so it's back up the the mooring. She already has the safety on the opposite cleat ready to go, so when we get back up to the ball she runs that free (bitter) end through the mooring and back to the cleat.
Side note: don't run a line from one side, down to the mooring and back up to the other side as this will cause a sawing motion as the boat watches around the mooring.
Hope this makes sense...
Loving it all! You guys are wonderfully self confident and able to share the embarrassing times along with the successful, and to me that's what makes this Nordhavn adventure so special. Thanks so much for taking us along on your amazing journey!
Thank you for your positive feedback it is so encouraging
Wish you good life , Renee. Happy birthdays
Thank you
Chalk dust on oil dip stick handy tip great video keep it up magic cheers
Wow……got somewhere in Greece to get that!!
Best Nordhavn youtube channel!!! You guys are awesome!!!!!
Hey thanks so much we really enjoy making them…they will get better promise
My advice regarding the oil samples, as an experienced marine engineer, don't take from the filter, you need to take from the oil in the system. ask your engine rep, they should have a procedure and suggest a correct sample point. Love your videos.
Thanks so much I will
And put a plastic bag up under, or around, the oil filter when undoing it by hand
It's a good idea to prefil the filter with clean oil before reinstalling it. Reverso system is great.
It sure is!
I had to laugh at the tender getting away and Mark going for a swim to fetch it.
It was a lovely swim
Dear Fiona and Mark.... just caught myself longing more for your episodes, than any netflix or HBO series.... saw it yesterday and again today... You have an absolutely great way to show us life on a Nordhavn with a good variety of daily life and Nordhavn related subjects.... Maybe you have told us in a previous episode - and then please just refer to that - but what are your sailing plans, and when di you expect to reach home...?? Stay safe and keep up the best of video work!
Ok so we will be doing a catch up video after going through the Corinth Canal…maybe before……essentially Mediterranean, UK, Netherlands, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Nova Scotia. East Coast USA, Panama and that’s about as far as we can think.
James’ Dad Richard, has sailed all Faroe Islands to Nova Scotia!
Loved this episode. Classic guys, keep up the great videos.
We will
Another great video. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Congrats on your boat! We used a cleaning product called Formula 409 to spray on hands and engine after working that cleans everything up nicely and prevents that "diesel fuel" smell in the engine room. I also use a plastic milk jug to let my filters drop in to when changing.
Thanks for the tip!
Changing the filters I usually use a 10lt cheap plastic bucket. Loosen the filter, put the bucket underneath and drop the whole lot in the bucket. Apart from the ends of your fingers it’s no mess Charlie 😁. Works for me.
Got,it ta
Hi Mark
My mechanic always uses a plastic bag around the filters when changing them. It catches the filter and all the drips.
I use the freezer bags around the filters , can zip lock them so no oil leaking everywhere!
Love the tips,guys keep them coming
Love the videos 😊
We love the comments
Hilarious episode 😂😂 very entertaining 👍
Cool ta…just being us….some say crazy
Thanks for your videos with your Nordhavn. I like these yachts!
Us too
Another good one mate, glad you are enjoying the boat, bummer about the stabiliser hyd rams though. I don’t really like telling how to do things to people on other boats but here is a few tips that you may find handy. It is always a good idea to coil up and stow away your ropes, and not leave them laying on the deck as it looks like you have been, reason I say this is because it is easy to get them washed over the side if you go down on a wave, next thing you know you will have one around the prop and that will ruin your day. It is good when tying up to the shore to have a loop of chain or a wire strop to put around the rock, then run your stern line from it, because them sharp rocks can cut through your mooring line in no time. When you are doing your oil change if you get a old 5 L water bottle, cut the top off, slide it up over the filter then unscrew it and let it drop in the drum, you don’t get any oil all over the place, lot less cleaning up. When you put the new filter on, it is a good idea to partially fill it with oil so there is no chance of creating a dry spot getting pumped around until the filter fills up when you start the engine, bearings tend not to like dry spots, especially big end bearings. If you are coming out of the Med, try and plan to fill up with fuel at Gibraltar, it’s about 1/2 the price there as mainland Spain, it is expensive to dock there but there is a great marina very close called Alcaidesa Marina at La Linea. Good luck mate, you are doing great, have a safe passage and enjoy.
So you have touched on things I know we should be doing better…….promise we will work on them. Look out in coming videos and remind us if we are not! Thanks for your feedback really appreciated.
Mark you wanna put some oil into the filter before you screw it in and that way it doesn't take us long for the engine to primate second thing if there's a compression release on those engines you wanna open it app when you start them for the first time and allow the oil to circulate before you close the compression release and have them pop off you know the word start up I'm a diesel mechanic And I do understand John Deere engines
Ok so that complicated for me…I get the fill the oil filter but after that lost sorry
I Love you guys. No surprise really, I have never met a Kiwi I didn’t like. You have a great sense of humor and happy to make a smart-ass comment about anything going one. Keep it up.
We will, thanks
hey Guys i know you must get a lot of key board warriors but id be using a couple of bow shackles with the pins tied off on that chain as those carbines don't look like they have any certification hate to see the tender fall.
love the content
Nope great advice…thanks and always welcome
I love you guys, you are real.❤
Thank you so much
Love watching you guys! Happy belated Birthday to Renee! 🎉
Secret between us her ACTUAL birthday is tomorrow!
@@AwanuiNZ Perfect! I wasn’t late with the Happy Birthday. Lol. BTW. Love the new yacht! Congratulations and good luck! It looks amazing! Hopefully you get all the little issues behind you so you can enjoy the journey!
Hi, I don’t know if you did it, but I normally fill the oil filter up with oil so you don’t run the bearings dry in the diesel motor , anyway, just a suggestion you probably won’t listen good to see Renée back on the boat she has plenty of fun. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos
Good advice thanks
Morning Mark, nice film. Maybe get some covers for your dinghy chains or a nice set of strops? chains will wreck everything. Safe Watch
Covers is the answer
Love the videos. I’d swap your chain out for a nice dyneema bridal for your tender it would be soooo much better. Easy to make up yourself also.
Great idea and you are not the first to suggest this…..stubborn me used a chain on our last boat and am sticking with it…may regret one day!
@@AwanuiNZ ha ha yes I fully get the being stubborn on things. But sooner or later that chain is going to scratch the paint and really pee you off.
Continue the videos they are great, enjoying the adventures with you all.
@davec5314 I have put some flexible PVC piping over the chain where it touches the fibreglass at the base on each side…..Hope it helps you sleep better!
Yet another fantastic video..
Thanks so much we really enjoy making them
Please scrap that chain for the dingy lift. It will end up damaging the fibreglass or catching someone’s finger. You would be much better of using Spectra rope which is stronger, lighter and kinder on you and the tender. 3 strand Nylon would also be a better option and is simple to splice an eye in. Webbing is a 3rd option.
Yip over did it a bit. Our last boat had chain so I just went to it. Going to cover in plastic pipe
@@AwanuiNZ covering it with pipe will make it better but then it won’t bend which could be a problem particularly going over the transom. Time will tell…at least you won’t break it. You are showing great patients in sorting out all the little issues with the boat to I must say. I suspect there might have been some swearing off camera about the stabilisers😅. It highlights well why you don’t just set off straight across an ocean in a new boat but give it a good shakedown first. I love this worts and all approach in you videos.
The islands are stunning. We are really enjoying the mini tours of each one. The food looks amazing to. Already looking forward to your next video. Safe travels.
This is great it’s like an episode of Monty Python, very entertaining sir happy cruising.
Never liked MP but will definitely take it as a compliment
That “Reverso” system is a god send. Once you have tried this over the conventional method, you will never go back. Was this an option that was offered or did this come standard with your boat ? Just a suggestion sir; get a white permanent marker and write the date and engine hours on the filter body when completing an oil change. I’m sure you make notes in the log but this is a quick reference for you when in the engine room. You can even add NEXT OIL CHANGE @ HOURS **** if you like. Good job sir being this is your first oil change !
It is a great system and great ideas thanks
Sorry also came as standard fit
I love this boat so beautiful. I wondered about that single mooring buoy, normally there would be quite a few of them and marked on the chart as a mooring. That is a brutal ride sitting in the front of a skiff at that speed. 😂 Might be good to have a sturdy plastic bag to put around the oil filter when taking it loose so that it can catch all of that stray oil. Or maybe punch a hole through the filter before removing it so it can drain into a catch pan. Happy belated Birthday to Renee! Having stabilizers must be nice when they are working. I have never had a boat with them before.
Thanks for the reach out. Yip bit tough on the passengers eh?
Hi Mark, Fiona, Renee. Love watching your travels. You do need a few basic knots bowline done turn two half hitches. Watching you the tender after your swim , a question do u not use you radar? or is it overlaying the charts. I do hope that you get sorted with the stabilizers. Look forward to the next one
Yip knot tying needs work. Yes use the radar and usually as an overlay but normally when busy traffic. We don’t intend to go at night much.
Hay Mark just a Aussie thing I cut the top off a 2 Litre drink bottle and use to take oil filters off to replace. so lose first then take off with filter in bottle. And try not to cut your self PLEASE Glen
Great idea love it
Or just a plastic bag over the filter as you are un screwing it, Air New Zealand sick bag might work well to 😅
By the way you might want to check your oil levels after you start the engine run them for a few minutes You might have to top it off because it's filling up all the oil channels in the filters and it's going to lower the level in the oil PAN and like I said if there's a compression release on that engine I would open it up and loud the engine just to turn over for a minute to be able to pressurize oil through the engine
Yip that absolutely happened…thanks
😂As someone who grew up on boats and still live on one... you bunch are a laugh a minute 🎉
So pleased we are entertaining you
Don't want to state the obvious Mark but you should probably sort your knot tying skills out lol. Would hate to see you lose that cool little tender
I know the brain is just overloading at the moment and extra detail,just slips through…we will get there…promise
did I hear a pottie mouth lowering the tender lol, hope your leg is healing and the scare it not to large, oh I look forward to more adventures ... Mark you are a bit like Basil Fawlty out of Fawlty Towers 😂
Not sure if that is a compliment. Healing nicely with only a little scar. Probably should have had stitches.
@@AwanuiNZ oh that is a compliment I do enjoy your adventures
You need a clamp in the deck for the cranehook !
Absolutely correct
Captain - its yr responsibility to ensure crew are comfortable on boat and tender- cracked vertebrae can occur just because you want to get back fast. All fun until its not. Ezcitong to see your journey really beginning- hope u get some proper holiday/adventure time as a family while at Santorini
I hear you
Mark and Fiona, if you can keep laughing as you learn, you'll enjoy this beautiful boat. It should be fun at the same time as well as being responsible for your actions. You're training as a pilot has taught you about being the person in charge. Keep on smiling. You'll learn the systems and then it'll be easier to anticipate problems before they become dangerous.
Perfect
Also that water jug is not petroleum rated and some petrol chemicals can eat through different types of plastic I would use 5 gallon buckets that are rated for petrol chemicals you also might run into problems trying to dispose of the oil not being in a proper container
Fair comment
Another thought on the stabilisers, don't let them drag repairs past the contract defect liability period for the boat. if more than two repairs you should be entitled for replacement and (if good contract) compensation for lost use... this ends with defect liability period. all the supplied kit should be back to back on the hull for your agreed period..
Agreed and so far Nordhavn bending over backwards to help…costs everything
@@AwanuiNZ Ok great to hear, missed if they were looking after you or not... will get sorted. Keep going we are all just jealous!!
Well done
Thank you
I am fully aware that you will get teething troubles with any new car, boat, motorbike, etc. However, Turks are very good at producing something that looks beautiful but not so good on the small stuff. I speak from experience as we used to own three villas in Turkey. They don't use damp-proof courses when the water table is close to the surface. Walls had damp halfway up. Patio doors opened outwards but had security gates on the outside. Doors had four inch gaps at the bottom, and one place had to be underpinned before we even spent a night there. I had to enter the loft in one house, and the wooden roof trusses were basically tree branches! Turks are brilliant at telling you what they think you want to hear.
Certainly a culture difference. From what I know one thing about the Turks is that they build good boats. It was great being at the factory for nearly three months and being welcomed the way I was. All I saw were craftsmen at work who were very proud of what they did. I agree on building houses though done pretty rough generally.
Mark: PLEASE use the shut off lanyard when operating your tender. It does not take much (an unseen wake) to really jolt the tender and you losing control.and maybe being throwen overboard. If the safety lanyard is not attached to the tender and operator the tender will just keep running - not a great situation
quite right
Hopefully the cable car was running for the journey to the restaurant.
Loved seeing Renee on her second bed 😊
And watching your boat deal with the choppy waves brings back memories
Yip she takes whichever bed suits her. We cable cared up and walked back down
Love you guys ...😊
Thank you, love the support
I am just a bit worried about the chain scratching the control panel on tender , perhaps a plastic coated chain would perhaps be worth thinking about
Absolutely
Looks like you need a new painter. You don’t want a join in it and the bowline is your friend. Is there not an eye under the tender bow to tie the painter to? The oil change system looks like a great investment!
Correct and on the list. Yes it does and a better option thankyou
Lay the end of the dipstick on a fresh, uncrumpled, paper towel. You’ll quickly see where the level of clean oil is.
Great idea
Just loving the videos. Cant wait for next one. Di and Barry Dulieu Picton.
Howdie guys thanks for reaching out
Buy a pack of baby diapers, they are perfect when you change oil filters and absorb all excess oil, also perfect to clean up oil from your bilge, and the absolute cheapest solution and probably the best. Nice to follow you and you have a wonderful little ship.
Great idea
Loved the "they're not stupid, they can see that". Funny comeback 😂on the earlier video...
On the oil filter spilling: If a puncturing tool doesn't work another thing I use is a havy plastic bag under it. Tash compactor bags work for me
She was very rude to her Father eh? Great tip
remember trihgten the oilfilter once a while.
Ah ok I will
I'd love to see the captian 'Lit'....LOL
So would Renee
Great burn Renee' . .
I bet youl be pleased to sort those stabalisers out .
I came accross a vid on your ship from another youtuber . . Yachtbouy .
Is it still your intentions to go up as far as Iceland . . ?? And through the Panama canal ?? . .

As you cast off, what you are bringing on board are lines, not ropes.
Noted and thanks
Always two painters on the dinghy. Have had one fail a few times. Untied, chafed through. Etc.
Thank you. We had a springer snap last night so very timely advice
Far out, you're a bit rough on your passengers in the tender Mark, very entertaining episode. I read on the Nordhavn website that the N51 comes with electric stabiliser fins? Did you choose hydraulic or have they changed the spec on the model? Fair winds.😊
Standard fit is hydraulic…….they allowed electric on a couple as owners insisted I think
@@AwanuiNZ Thank you.😊
Mark is way more relaxed now. He must be on the same mood stabilizers I'm on LMAO
I am not good at relaxing so hearing that is cool
I remember pariah's grace from the 1990s and there was a lot of old nasty ships that were tied up just waiting for the price is still to go up so they can be scrapped
Sorry little confused?
do you need to change oil every 100hours on these engines ? thought the interval on those diesels would be longer especially with close to 20litres of oil capacity.
lately on my oil and fuel filters I have been writing with a marker the date and hours when I changed it, less guess work next time for me or another person servicing it and if another person does it I can see if it was changed. also recommend using nitrile gloves
Just the first oil change as new engines. Next one after another 350hrs…good idea
disposable mechanic gloves for changing oil but check to see if they work with fuel
Yip
Have you thought of doing advertising ( Toyota Bugger adds in N.Z.) . Did your guest get to chew a hole in his hat ???
Take care and keep on enjoying life

Yip we have been invited to monetise the channel or at least told we qualify. Apparently we have earned nearly $2000 NZD before tax! If nothing else it will cover Starlink $200USD/Month, new cameras and better editing gear, hard drives, mics, camera mounts, lights, the list goes on.
Noticed that you only now one speed for your ship and tender and that's 'to fast'. Sooner or later you create problems. That's for sure.
Ship 7knots? Tender, yip on that day as so far to go!
I hope you guys make it back to NZ because your seamen ship needs some serious work lol
Oh yes it does which is why we are taking our time in the Med where at least we do not need to worry about currents and tides. We are learning so much every day.
@@AwanuiNZ at least I find your banter between all family members entertaining wish you every success in your life changing Voyage to the land of the long white cloud
Cut the top off a soft drink bottle and put it over the oil filter to catch excess oil.
Perfect!
