    Copenhagen/Denmark. The sail ship was the queens ship. Live around 5 kilometers from the windmills. And you pass the airport to. You should have made a stop in Dragør harbor, for some diff fresh fish 🐟

      Interesting comment re. the Queen's yacht. BTW, I like the screen name. You may be the last armed Dane in Denmark, lol! I can imagine the old Vikings sitting around after a day of pillaging, drinking ale and resharpening their battleaxes, exclaiming, "Odin-damn, what has become of our our descendants!"

    Hey Sam. Just been going thru some of the older videos, and was dead surprised to find this one! I'm a long time PG pilot having first flown in 1987 and finally got licensed in 91. Im still relatively active, flying commercial tandems in the country of Georgia in the northern summers. Funny thing is, Ive been trying to get Dan and Kika of Sailing Uma to have a go at paragliding. They are avid hikers and climbers, so flying would be a natural progression for them. Fun little wing, that Swing Hybrid. Perfect travel rig for hike n fly. Your videos have me on the verge of purchasing a 31ft boat right now.

  • @jonathanholmes1180
    @jonathanholmes1180 10 місяців тому

    Loving all your videos. After having been dragging several times, I can highly recommend gloves when paragliding. Those lines can really cut deep into your fingers if you need to kill the wing in a hurry but get dragged in the process.

    Might be time to consider getting a filter for air intake going into your diesel tank. The silica gel in them will adsorb water vapor, and usually they change color over time to indicate their status. They can be regenerated by baking in an oven at 120C for 2hrs to volatilize water. It is also helpful to smear the o-ring at the fill port with a bit of vaseline, aka petrolatum.
    Whether you go with an emulsifying or demulsifying solution for the water that is already in there, largely depends on the kind of separator you have further down the line.

I first came across your channel last year when you visited Islay in Scotland at the same time as us. I am amazed at what you manage on your own.

Good luck on your travels and I'll keep following your sailing adventure. ⛵

    Kinda funny feeling of like, "hey i recognize this boat" and before I could connect the dots you where already leaving.
    Best of luck and enjoy the Baltic!
