I think this is one of my favourite sailing channels now, - reminds me of vagabond in the early days! I still watch all the bigger channels, - but I get a genuine smile when I see a new post from you guys! Please keep it up!
YOU ARE GREAT EXAMPLES OF SOMETHING, NOT SURE WHAT, BUT EVERY EPISODE NO MATTER HOW DRASTIC HAS ME LAUGHING ALOUD AT SOME POINT. YOU ARE LOVED AND CHERISHED. Highest Blessings
I thoroughly enjoy the reality of your videos. The highs and lows, ups and down. You tackle each challenge and surface triumphant. Watching your videos reflect a reality based expectation. Best wishes on the rest of your adventure.
You two are so great together, keep persevering, it is far easier to quit than to see it through, but far less rewarding! We hope to follow in your wake
Adam great job with the charging system, that was a tough one. Khiara, 😎 quit teasing Adam. 👍🏻 Another great video. By the way Mike New Zealand has a good point check out Distant Shore video on prop to keel clearances.
Sometimes life throws you some curves, sometimes they are rather sharp ones and hurt, know those too, but dolphins are a sign of better things to come..maybe not right away, but soon enough ;) and the horriblcanes will leave you alone this yr.. Try to sail off anchor even if the winds are not favorable for it, the guy who taught me to sail so long ago made me learn to do it, as he reminded me they had none on sailing vessels of old, maybe some oars :/ but I understand sometimes the motor is the only option, and sending wishes that all gets straightened out for you.
And if you come by here I help you fix the boat! I just made a total makeover on an Amel 50. It is just across the Atlantic turn right at Denmark straight over Skagerak and then you are here :D
But wait until summer because it is stormy now days. Any way I like your videos a lot and live the energy between you and it is absolutely best to laugh to manage with the hardship, that I am also doing!! I wish I done the same when I was younger and not produced a lot of kids :D I am though sailing now days but not so long I keep my sailing around the west coast of Sweden and around Denmark, Maybe I am going on a tour to England just to have a beer :D
It seems that sound is cavitation phenomenon. ( similar to a blender with air near the blades but lower tone because it spins slower ) It should not happen. It's probably similar to some propelled airplanes taking off because they apply maximum thrust at low speed. The blades are engineered for cruise air speed and the cavitate. Are you sure the propeller is engineered for your boat class? I would tune propeller-torque-rotating speed keeping in mind your cruising speed even if the prop. auto-adjusts. ( sorry for my english I hope it helps ).
Don't worry! Everything will be fine! Just follow the trail of sunglasses Khiara left on the way up and you will end up in Cariacou in no time, drinking Rivers Rhum!
Minor challenges now . You shall sail on and on . More challenges will come and if you call them that and refer to them as that you will overcome them . Have fun
Well said bob. As it so happens I was editing a video today with another little hiccup and it’s really becoming apparent the way our dealing with these things is evolving (for the better). Thanks for watching 🙏
Hi guys I enjoy the video's a lot. Glad to see you keeping your chins up after all the adversity you have faced. Fitting a propeller is not as straight forward as it seems. The key has to be an exact fit. The taper has to be measured perfectly. Measuring with the Vernier should be done barely inside the taper and not down to the depth of the legs. If you do it that way you need to know the exact distance between the 2 measurements. A taper is measured by getting the major and minor diameters and the exact distance between them. If you gave the prop manufacturer measurements done that way and the full depth of the hub the taper in the prop is probably incorrect. The taper should be checked with engineers blue and lapped in until it is a really good fit. Most tapers once correctly fitted will hold even if the nut comes off. The tolerances are quite fine and a "that will do" attitude is not good enough. Painting a propeller is not a good move in my opinion. As you see by your efforts it soon comes off in a few hours running and causes imbalance. A polished prop' is a much better prospect. If the old prop was ok when refitted leave it on until your next haul out and get the new one fitted properly by some one with experience. There are many videos on YT on fitting tapers by good engineers. Sorry for the rant but I speak from 55+ years of marine engineering experience. I hope you get away from the 'urricane zone soon. Fair winds & regards from the UK
It’s an SAE shaft taper and was CNC machined to spec. I’m 99.9% confident that Bruntons have sized it correctly for the shaft taper. I will try not to take the quip about ‘good’ engineers personally 🤣🤣
Sorry "good engineers" was not meant to demean your capabilities. It was a reference to professional as against home/hobby types on YT. We as viewers can only form an opinion how things are done by what we see happening on the video. The less detail we see the more haphazard a job looks. I understand your constraints on video length and time taken to edit. The point is us armchair (now retired 12 years) engineers will usually pick up on incorrect or poorly shown details etc because we have nothing better to do being tied to a chair or bed all day. I think you do a great job between you and are a lovely couple. Fair winds & regards from the UK
Love your video, doing the hatch dance almost daily here in Puerto Rico!! But glad you're safe and good luck making your schedule, that's always tough!
Colregs: WERE you a sailboat when that powercraft buzzed you? Or, were sails down and engine on? Does that make a difference in the give-way/hold-on protocols?
You might be getting clearance noise. And also for sure feathering props are much louder than fixed. But sailing is why we bother with them. My 4 blade feather gets louder when it needs grease. I think you have 4 or 5 thing happening there. But key bound is 1. But the main issue is youre hull configuration. These props are quiet on boats with shafts not located near the hull. But bruntons should know. Or not.
Somebody is looking fantastic, who knew there was such a handsome man under all that hair? Hopefully you catch a break and meet your family on time! Nena
I think that is a Millennial Falcon first! The first comment on Adams looks 🤣😱 who is typically described as having a “face for radio” 😂😆. Made my afternoon 🥰
The only time I have ever seen paint on a marine screw was when it was made of aluminum. If your screw is aluminum, it is first painted with, at least, a chromate type primer, then with a paint that repels marine growth. If the screw is bronze, don't paint it, period! Stiff upper lip, ehhh!!!
I have this argument going on with my brother in law about dolphins, I reckon dolphins love to entertain, the more you react the more they entertain. What do you think?
rinsed tools into rice for a few days and a bit of wd 40 for removal of any other moisture, and yeah the double bung thing will work until outhaul.......
Your mics seem good but that rain sounded weird and wicked..... Sucks about your prop but glad it wasn't critical..... Fair winds you guys and be safe!!!!
just a heads up, the Dolphins at key west are paid to do that for tourists. this way they feel good when they anchor until they see the prices of everything. don't want to sound gay, but the hair cut looks good. nope, that sounded gay.
You probably already figured it out. The manufacturer of Tayanas do not put standard SAE tapers on the prop shafts. :-0 When I changed over to a feathering prop I had to have a new prop shaft made with the proper SAE tapers to fit the prop :-((
The old, didn't measure the depth of the keyways on the shaft and prop, strikes again... Happens to everybody on there first new prop fitting... Tricky little buggers...
Blasted woman! Don't let those good looks go to your head sister.. you're going to curse yourself and the Captain if you keep breaking the rules. Remember Eve and that apple tree? Yep, she didn't listen either and look what happened ;)
Its something you do with a fixed prop but maybe not a feathering prop..?! In fact another Tayana owner gave us his leftover prop paint when he was done painting his in the yard, we didn’t do it at first and got a lot of growth on the fixed prop over one year!
Just a thought: can you not put your GoPro in a protective case, mount to a pole and then put it in the water to look at your prop while you are moving?
Gosh I love dolphins! So jealous. That motor yacht... what I do is use universal sign language to tell them they're no. 1. You know, the ole 1 finger salute. ;)
As for the power boat...he cut behind you instead of front.. be glad ... For you sail boater's, you think the guys was rude ? Think about how some of y'all sail I've had my approach to a channel your course destroyed by a sudden change of directions by sail boater's under sail and power. . oh and don't get me started on trying to get y'all on a VHF that you can't hear because it's in the salon !
I'm a trucker: I have straight pipes: I like noise, it saves lives. I think Milly sounds badass now!! :) Oh no. Nevermind all that... You guys have luck like mine. Always something. But hey, you know physics, you can make a torque wrench out of a pipe and a spring scale!!
As I understand - The prop should be lapped to fit the drive shaft, obviously without the key being fitted.. The fact that by just undoing the nut, and the pop came off without an extractor makes me think this is the cause of the latest noise...
There is a Florida college with the name Miami Hurricanes. In short, the college is called either "The U" or the " 'Canes". So, if you want to talk about the bad storms with names but do not want use the "H", just call them 'Canes. :¬) Webhead USA
A couple at least! One of them circumnavigated the Svalbard group and has done other high latitude adventures, single handed, non-stop for weeks on end, up to two months ("junkming" is the channel name.)
You guys rely way to much on your engine, I've seen plenty of sailors cross oceans, dock, moor and depart with no engine at all. You need to spend less time losing confidence in your engine and more time gaining confidence with your sails.
I have this argument going on with my brother in law about dolphins, I reckon dolphins love to entertain, the more you react the more they entertain. What do you think?
I completely agree! We sing to them all the time and I swear they sing back. The more fuss we make on the bow the more they show pony around. They’re such wonderful creatures. Great book called ‘deep’ has some cool insights into their behaviour among other things

Adam, you are with a woman that could be walking the runways in Paris, but instead she chooses to be on a boat with you. You are a lucky man.
I think this is one of my favourite sailing channels now, - reminds me of vagabond in the early days! I still watch all the bigger channels, - but I get a genuine smile when I see a new post from you guys! Please keep it up!
I love watching these videos for many reasons...but high on the list.....because everything is Real...
YOU ARE GREAT EXAMPLES OF SOMETHING, NOT SURE WHAT, BUT EVERY EPISODE NO MATTER HOW DRASTIC HAS ME LAUGHING ALOUD AT SOME POINT. YOU ARE LOVED AND CHERISHED. Highest Blessings
There are so many times throughout your videos that I literally laugh out loud with you guys. You guys are great.
Thanks mate! We’re very happy to hear it 👍😂
I thoroughly enjoy the reality of your videos. The highs and lows, ups and down.
You tackle each challenge and surface triumphant. Watching your videos reflect a reality based expectation.
Best wishes on the rest of your adventure.
So much difficult news, greeted every time with infectious laughter ... go, you two ... the world needs your cheer!!
Guaranteed they afe not laughing off camera
You two are so great together, keep persevering, it is far easier to quit than to see it through, but far less rewarding! We hope to follow in your wake
I think you are on to something Adam- I can't believe you could pull the prop off by hand. That just doesn't seem normal! Good luck to you both!!!!
I love your optimism. With all the adversities you two have faced you keep smiling and moving forward. Good on you both....
Love you two - and loved this video. Some beautiful footage and a whole lot of joy and laughter that refills my batteries (heart) each week.
Adam great job with the charging system, that was a tough one. Khiara, 😎 quit teasing Adam. 👍🏻 Another great video. By the way Mike New Zealand has a good point check out Distant Shore video on prop to keel clearances.
you are really struggle all time! and still positive ! love the way you see life! keep going!!
In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire, ...urricanes Hardly Happen. Looks like you've turned a corner guys. Happy days to you.
Enjoying your sailing ⛵️ sailboat ⛵️ adventure! 😀⛵️😘 Ike from Missouri

Hey friends!! great vid, glad to see you moving safely south (ya I know you're somewhere else by now lol) damn those crazy ferries too!! Cheers guys
Your absolute trojans you two , if my boat was doing all that , well I don’t know
Well if the urricane didn't get you, I look forward to the next episode!
"We should have no problems getting out of here. Okay, let's see what the first problem is." LOL
And if you come by here I help you fix the boat! I just made a total makeover on an Amel 50. It is just across the Atlantic turn right at Denmark straight over Skagerak and then you are here :D
You made my day lol Valhalla or bust my friend 👊👍
But wait until summer because it is stormy now days. Any way I like your videos a lot and live the energy between you and it is absolutely best to laugh to manage with the hardship, that I am also doing!!

Did the new prop have a grease fitting?
You two are the best! GOD bless. JC
Thanks for watching mate 💗🙏
Don't worry! Everything will be fine! Just follow the trail of sunglasses Khiara left on the way up and you will end up in Cariacou in no time, drinking Rivers Rhum!
Ill send you the bumper sticker that says “ I ❤️ Airplane Noise”.

I’m only playing with you mate! I know your kidding 😆. And I do very much appreciate all the advice and suggestions 😆🙏
How much time did you spend grinding the new prop to the shaft?
St. Barts?!!!
Reverend Buffett used to own a bar there. I've always wanted to see her. It's 2nd only to St. Lucia for my Caribbean bucket list.
Love your video, doing the hatch dance almost daily here in Puerto Rico!! But glad you're safe and good luck making your schedule, that's always tough!

that's great dolphin footage 16:15
Another great video

you could be stuck on land trying to unplug a sewer pipe, for the last 8 days, in 17 degree weather. things can always be worse.
This is way too late.. but a length of hose to the ear, pointed at different areas, can help locate the source of a sound in a loud environment... :D
A screwdriver to the ear can work well too, a broom handle may work in some situations particularly where the item is further away from you.
The only time I have ever seen paint on a marine screw was when it was made of aluminum. If your screw is aluminum, it is first painted with, at least, a chromate type primer, then with a paint that repels marine growth. If the screw is bronze, don't paint it, period! Stiff upper lip, ehhh!!!
Have a look a Distant Shore lasted video they explain a folding prop and clearances etc
Just a thought. Check to make sure your drive shaft is not bent. Seems like a lot of problems with the whole drive system.
Good vid ya'll.
I have this argument going on with my brother in law about dolphins, I reckon dolphins love to entertain, the more you react the more they entertain. What do you think?
Is it just me or did Adam's voice change when his hair did?
rinsed tools into rice for a few days and a bit of wd 40 for removal of any other moisture, and yeah the double bung thing will work until outhaul.......
Ello 'Arry, Lucky we 'aven't 'ad a urricane yet, ay?
Nice haircut !!!
nice!
Every thing is going ok, as long as the wet stuffs on the outside it’s a great day. Keep the journey going! 👍
Your mics seem good but that rain sounded weird and wicked..... Sucks about your prop but glad it wasn't critical..... Fair winds you guys and be safe!!!!
Wind genny maybe on in the background 😬 it makes 15knots sounds like a hurricane!
Thanks for watching 😊
That was THE sign!
just a heads up, the Dolphins at key west are paid to do that for tourists. this way they feel good when they anchor until they see the prices of everything. don't want to sound gay, but the hair cut looks good. nope, that sounded gay.
Gay is okay. It's 2020. 🌈
You probably already figured it out. The manufacturer of Tayanas do not put standard SAE tapers on the prop shafts. :-0 When I changed over to a feathering prop I had to have a new prop shaft made with the proper SAE tapers to fit the prop :-((
Really?? Interesting. Perhaps the previous owners put a new shaft in with the yanmar? We had a standard SAE taper when I measured it up.
New prop expensive?
Dolphins very cool!
There is no rule concerning weight or length for right of way. In open water you got it exactly right, you had rights
The old, didn't measure the depth of the keyways on the shaft and prop, strikes again... Happens to everybody on there first new prop fitting... Tricky little buggers...
Oh no, Sampson has cut his hair!
I think SV Basik just had this same problem. Check it out.
Time to make a new intro soon :)
Blasted woman! Don't let those good looks go to your head sister.. you're going to curse yourself and the Captain if you keep breaking the rules. Remember Eve and that apple tree? Yep, she didn't listen either and look what happened ;)
Oh dear here we go again
really? to paint your propeller? where do you get that knowledge? Never do that!
all in all... Love your videos
Its something you do with a fixed prop but maybe not a feathering prop..?! In fact another Tayana owner gave us his leftover prop paint when he was done painting his in the yard, we didn’t do it at first and got a lot of growth on the fixed prop over one year!
it's easy, just go to Hertford, Hereford or Hampshire.
Yay!
Your YT name is classic. Although it morally vexes me 😂😂🤣🤣
Just a thought: can you not put your GoPro in a protective case, mount to a pole and then put it in the water to look at your prop while you are moving?
We did that, but couldn’t see close enough... it span which we knew it did but couldn’t figure out anymore than that! Good idea though :)
Gosh I love dolphins! So jealous.
That motor yacht... what I do is use universal sign language to tell them they're no. 1. You know, the ole 1 finger salute. ;)
Oh there were many more signs and words that didn’t make the final cut 😆
@@SailingMillennialFalcon , that's a big 10-4 on keepin it clean for the family show. :)
As for the power boat...he cut behind you instead of front.. be glad ... For you sail boater's, you think the guys was rude ?

why painting the blades?? no bueno. polish them...
Sounds like cavitation
We thought so at first but as the Bruntons prop is self pitching it’s apparently not possible. 🤔
Guessing you survived
I'm a trucker: I have straight pipes: I like noise, it saves lives. I think Milly sounds badass now!! :)
Oh no. Nevermind all that... You guys have luck like mine. Always something.
But hey, you know physics, you can make a torque wrench out of a pipe and a spring scale!!
@Jim Nickles , I hear my language being spoke!! Boooyeah!
I have 2008 ISX deleted cackling through an empty pdf chamber. Oops!
How come you are supersticious? I recon, with the education comes an understanding of that. Scepticism.
As I understand - The prop should be lapped to fit the drive shaft, obviously without the key being fitted.. The fact that by just undoing the nut, and the pop came off without an extractor makes me think this is the cause of the latest noise...
Agreed. I spat my snorkel when it came off in my hands underwater. 😱

You don’t need an engine there is a guy on UA-cam who doesn’t have one at all
A couple at least! One of them circumnavigated the Svalbard group and has done other high latitude adventures, single handed, non-stop for weeks on end, up to two months ("junkming" is the channel name.)
What about keeping your channel, going home & making babies.You are part of our lives now.
And
Engines are always trying to kill you. Just sayin'
You guys rely way to much on your engine, I've seen plenty of sailors cross oceans, dock, moor and depart with no engine at all. You need to spend less time losing confidence in your engine and more time gaining confidence with your sails.
