So I let Simon remove my stitches! I put a stop to the grinder, but a Stanley knife and a pair of cutters were used!! Video is on our facebook group! Come over and join us there for regular updates!
facebook.com/groups/2749634145366801/?ref=share
I got off Facebook to mine people pissing me off long live Trump
Surprisingly, or not, if Simon can fix that geny thingy he was working on in the last cupla vlogs, he's do an ok job of gettin stiches out. surprised they did use disolveable ones though.
LOL!
Just had my 18 year old Rutland generator refurbed by Marlec. 👍. What a great British business. Super service and a great product.
So funny Gemma ...I m your 3rd biggest fan!
A famous Doctor once said " I'm serious about what I do but not necessarily in the way that I do it" Loving the videos keep up the good work.
Gemma, It's not the fall that hurts , it's that sudden stop at the end !!!
So sorry Gemma that you hurt yourself. It’s so much fun watching y’all work together especially watching Gemma, she is such a beautiful woman. Y’all take care 🌹❤️🙏🇺🇸
Come back next week as Simon puts together a small DIY nuclear power plant out of an old refrigerator. :)
Glad your hand is okay, Gemma. That was a nasty gash. Another episode showing awesome teamwork. I love how Gemma was right there to grab the ends of the cut cable ties! You two are so in synch. We love your lightheartedness and sense of fun. Life is too serious as it is. Your journey gives us a break from all that.
Ditto Shelley!!!
Well said, Shelley. I also noticed the cable tie thing - two people acting as one being with four arms!
Thank you! We have worked side by side now for so long we sort of work on auto pilot! Life is too serious, and it's not fun to be all uptight and stressed out! Dont get me wrong we have our moments, because we are only human, but laughter makes even the hardest of jobs fun!
@@ShipHappensUK And this is one of the many reasons you've come so far with Sarinda already.
My kind of engineering!! You guys belong to that rare type of people " if we don't have it - make it!!" So much fun to watch and Simon - you are a great inovator!
Lets raise the periscope !! Its a sub.JJ
Great watching and I'm so envious!
All the best to you.
I reckon with present winds and storm the wind generator should really work!! Hope the boat will be okay through it all.
once the wind gets above a certain point it stops and puts a 'brake' on to stop overspeed & damage
Knocking out 5.5amps at the moment!!
Good job guys, this is something more people need to realize, there is not just 1 solution to a problem or need , wind and solar work well together
When comparing the output from the power sources, none of them winns. -You are the winner!
Nice job! I felt sure that Simon was going to build a DiY wind turbine out of old guttering, a truck alternator & office chair parts :-)
I think if he had the time he would of!!
Superglue for wounds and "self amalgamating tape" for insulating cable joins :-) Regards to all Sarah
Good idea both and more panels
Nice to see its working a little, Any power is better than nothing..
But as said before, its noisy! thumbs up.
I hope your biggest fan liked an subscribed to the channel 😉Gemma take care of your hand and You all have a great weekend
Don't forget you can add a water heater element to your dump load that way if you're battery's are full it can then heat a water tank before going to a resistor . Love what y'all are doing with that beautiful boat.
Rutland 1200 does not work that way. No resistor, all controlled from the wind controller, which will also charge 2 battery banks.
OPSS 16:03 to 16:04. 🤣🤣🤣 Great progress with the boat so far.
Gemma didn't even flinch!. Those scousers are hard as nails!
Stitches are best removed with a oscillating multi tool.
In the end we went with a rusty Stanley knife and a pair of cutters!!! (Video is on our facebook group!!!)
give us some numbers throughout the winter - a wind and solar update etc , keep it in a spreadsheet would be useful to see.
I will keep track of it! X
G'Day Folks , just found you, Wow what a job you have a head of you, thank you for rescuing another bit of History that would have been lost, Bless you both🤗,ex pat Mancunian
Hi Gem never be afraid of falling its that sudden stop at the bottom you have to worry about :)
I remember years ago when me and two of my Army buddies were having a conversation about this very thing. One said: “ I am afraid of heights!”, I said: “ I’m not afraid of heights but a afraid of falling!” The last guy said: “ I’m not afraid of heights or falling, I am afraid of hitting the ground!” We laughed for a long time over that statement lol
@@sheepdoglogic When I was training to get my pilots license, my instructor said, and I quote "Take offs are optional, landings, however hard they may be, are not."
You’ve come a long way; your presentations are so natural and you now speak to us so casually as if we were there in front of you.
the turbine mast being able to swivel down--also good for low bridge maneuvers ? maybe !Hello from the colonies !
Not going to lie. Simon is damn smart. He has all these tinny tricks that you would never think of.
Super glue and feminine pads are your best friend in those situations
Love you guys. Thank you for your great videos. I love you humor. Take care and keep those videos coming. Blessings.
Thank you Bengt xx
I mentioned to my co-workers in the bakery dept. of a grocery store that I was thinking of installing a wind generator on roof of my motorhome and the cake decorator said she had married one!!! CHEERS from Westcoast Canada!
🤣🤣
There were 2 wind generators aboard Sarinda last night @Jordan
@@johnrobbo69 yes a very windy night/day 🤣🤣
Gemma is right! You can't use the grinder to remove stitches. Small diagonal cutters, that's the ticket! (I fell down laughing!) Loved this one guys, great teamwork.
well done people...very clever...and a nice family too...
Yes ley Simon take those stiches out there Gem
Just put a video on our facebook group of Simon removing them!!
Sorry to see Gemma cut her hand, i,m glad she is ok now.
The title had my stomach in knotts the whole video till you showed the cut, I´m impressed with how cool and collected Gemma was after it happened and I am verry happy it turned out ok. Cool wind genny, hope it works out better than you hoped it would.
Great to see you guys with your Lest We Forget gearon and all over the boat brilliant as a former Royal Marine its really appreciated 👍.
Always handy to have a generated power, the noise could be echoing down the
stanchion Simon some foam glued in side might help and that cut was just
short of some teeth ouch
Another great video guys 👍
Simon can take out the stitches he loves you he will be careful and I think the wind thingy will work hands down better for 24 hours a day
He removed them yesterday, wasn't the best doctor, but the Stanley knife worked a treat!!
I can’t wait for Simon to make a biggie wind generator with a car alternator and blades cut from drain pipes.
Loop in the power cable... put a cable tie around it at the bottom of the loop...with the tail pointing downwards. Water will just run off it...
Great tip 👍
Very glad you found a turbine that suited your needs but wiring issues are common since you have more than one source your drawing from. So glad you sought medical care for your incision on your hand, even if you had to enlist Simon to pull the stitches after it healing. Very best wishes to you and yours.
Sounds like a light aircraft circling.
that cut made me legs feel funny
Simon, Here in "Merica" the first step in first aid is the neck tourniquet! Depending on the patient
of course!!! LOL
Enjoyed your project from the start and even had a look at the boat from the shore - love the old boy in the boatyard there!! Forget the doubters comments!! oh and good to see you found sailing with geordie!!👍👍
I like it. I’m glad you added the wind turbine. Great job!
It looks great when I went to there last week I saw your wind generator and it reminds me of an aeroplane … I hope it’s giving you a good charge x
Now that's dedication for you. " Gemma " bleeding to death" and your still thinking about how it's gonna effect the editing. Top show guys.
You know I didn't even get a day off! But Simon did peel the spuds the next day for the roast Dinner!
You don't know me I've been watching your channel for a while now and I really appreciate the dynamic between you and your husband and husband and wife it's so nice to see people who care genuinely for each other no matter what anybody says always know that you're in each other's corner I just had to say something you guys are amazing thank you for your channel
Thanks Fred, we are very lucky to have each other x
I let my wife sew me up, then I took out the stitches myself. It helps that she works in surgery. I saw that cut and was like, yeah, been there hope you get better.
You know what I love about you two the most, do ya??? It is that you two are as normal a pair of human being's as there can be and what I mean by that is that your NOT normal in your endeavor to do something bigger than yourself, but normal in the sense of being normal like the majority of us normal folks around the world. We wake up every day and work with our hands and use our mind to make something or accomplish something, not wear a suit and pretend to be someone we are not. With you two, there is no pretending, you are who you are and that is what draws people to you. Love your video's and plan to watch each and every one. God Bless.
Thank you so much, not often we get called normal, people always think we are just plain crazy with some of the things we do!
My Dad always took my stitches out. Simon's the perfect person.
Love the Lest We Forget flag si/ gem keep up the great work ml1392 sarinda is starting to look awesome
Aw, let Simon stitch it. After all you have the ultimate tool kit on board and He is keen, what could go wrong?
That was a fanny episode,( did you see what I did there!). Hope the hand has healed, Simon could take the sutures out, it is only a matter of cutting the thread as near to the skin as possible so you don’t pull through and thread that has been exposed. You might want to be prepared for the wound to split of it hasn’t quite healed, just use some duct tape to stick it back together. Don’t forget to file that metal strip down!! It is fanny how many people can’t stand the sight of three own blood. , I am a retired nurse, anybody else’s blood no problem, mine I just faint.😂😂
I keep a good first-aid kit around the house and in my workshop just for cuts, I have a surgical stapler I bought on the internet for about $15 and veterinarian liquid stitches which is Super Glue that surgeons in veterinarians officesuse for just that kind of wound. As long as you clean it out good before you glue it shut it's fine I've done it many many times.
@steve whitacre....... will be interesting in another video to see what the many FA kits on Sarinda can do to someone. Quite ironic ;-)
Poor Gemma, hope your hand is ok. Looked nasty. Wind generator is looking good too. Hope the recent storm has not affected the boat or blown away to wind generator 💨🍃🌬
Lekker man lekker
Thanks for the vids, guys!
As far as stitches, I always took out my own. Nail clippers, a little twist and a gentle tug. Slide right out. I know they're long gone by now. I'm still watching back episodes. Lol. How's the scar?
Cool video. Neat turbine setup. I think it’s a good strategy to hedge your bets and have multiple energy sources that each provide power during their own optimal conditions.
Wow, impressive picture of the offshore wind generation; I'm thinking you all might be in a good location.
Just found your UA-cam channel will be binge watching from 1 till I catch up to date think you have taken on a very worth while project I hate to see old boats just rotting away I'm a dinghy sailer and have rescued a few dinghies over the years but nothing like you have taken on, always wanted to take on a wooden yacht but now to old, good luck with the project looking forward to see what you do with it.
I think SV delos has a video about their first aid kit on their boat you might want to watch.
You handled that cut like a champ. And Emilia helped. Simon was kinda a whimp when it came to blood. Lol.
Well it makes a change for you to be in stitches rather than your fans. I hope it heals quickly. I did worse with a grinder and a rag and tape sufficed.
Another video, totally addictive, much enjoyment.
Thank you both.
You have a great windmill. However, in the future, think about strengthening the windmill mast so that it can survive a storm at sea. Greetings, Marek.
Well it is there temporarily for now while the restoration works are being carried out, but it has just went through storm Arwen with 70mph + winds and it was great!
Got yourself a windy Gemmarator! 😂🤣😂🤣
Good vid guys 👍🏻
You got Victron, that was the best decission you could make. I'm a Victron guy for all my private projects helping others and all working very well.
1 full turn of 1 offshore blade, generates enough electric to power an average home for 1 day. Interesting fact 🧐
It looked like you mounted the tube to the base incorrectly. I am guessing the tube needs to be rotated 180 degrees so the notch in the tube is facing down when you lower it to prevent strain on the wires.
Australia had a situation during June 2022.......when the entire eastern seaboard (80% population) had overcast weather and a wind drought. The grid nearly collapsed and the spot price for power went so high, the market was suspended under an emergency.
You guys should keep some of that medical super glue I think they call it insta stitch in your first aid kit for stuff like to cut I hope you get to feeling better soon love the videos
love your videos keep them comeing
Awesome job you guys , that wind genny plus the solar power will compliment each other I should say and the color scheme goes well with the ship as well.
The humming noise will soon disappear when the insulation and whatnot goes in the overhead.
That was quite the gash on your hand Gemma , are you going to let Simon take the stitches out ? He could use a set of side cutters.
Keep up the great work , you are going to have a Grand looking ship for sure
The boat next to us has a Rutland wind generator and its virtually silent even in 20kts of wind, which made me wonder if its actually wind noise you are hearing from the the blades or vibration resonating from your support mast ?
Alexander Menzies is right. You really must fit a dump load to stop your battery from being cooked. A water heater is an excellent choice.
The charge controller regulates and slows down the turbine when the batteries are full, and also if the wind speed is it high.
Love the wire tie trick, thanks.
Great job you too. The wind generator will easily win the race over the solar panels this time of year. So happy Gemma's cut healed ok. You work well together to get it cleaned before going to hospital. Especially as Simon doesn't like blood.
Rutland has good systems. I'm partial to VAT's, but you can't go wrong with a marine rutland.
Taking out stitches is easy. Clip the wee knots and pull. I've done it to myself and recently for one of our dogs. Getting a vet appt was difficult. As long as the skin is closed and it has been around 10-14 days.
I’ve often had to be restitched because removed too soon. So keep a close watch on it knitting together before getting them out.
Always keep a tube of Super Glue in your First Aid box, for cuts and gashes of the size you showed on the video it is easily mended with the Super Glue and no need for a visit to A & E for stitches
my mate did this when hi cut his finger bad in work. he was of the opinion they would glue it anyway. I was like, yes but that would be medically approved. He wasn't bothered just totally practically glued it so he could carry on working.
And ouch Gemma glad you are ok 👍
Your biggest fan…lmbo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you did a good job slicing your hand 😢 glad it’s better ♥️♥️
Glad your ok Gem
Men dig chicks with scars right?? 🤣
And on a hot day the fan will keep you cool.
It’s not the FALL that hurts it’s the STOP at the Bottom that’s the problem….
Great job with that, be plenty of wind over the next few months I reckon.
You need to go round the boat and make sure there are no other pieces of metal sticking out where they shouldn't.
Draw some eye's right above that cut Gem and you will have a great smiley face .
A bit of solar and a bit of wind power will do a good job for you, particularly as you have very clean air in your location. You will probably find wind better in winter, solar better in summer. You should be recording battery condition often, so you will notice unexplained changes. I have not noticed a dump load device to prevent over-charging, or maybe your controller simply shuts down? Simon should not be allowed anywhere near that hand, except to hold it and say "There, there, Dear"
You guys are fun : )
you guys talking about your FAN reminds me of going to the local antique engine show last summer ,,people laughing at my trailer i put together the sign on the side reads ,worlds most powerful portable fan ,, 16ft propeller on a P&W R4360 28 cylinder airplane engine 2500HP at 3200RPM
well thats going to charge the batteries no problem tonight with the wind forecast. lol
Sorry to see that you were injured , But glad your okay, I look forward to seeing what you both get up to every week,
I just love your fingernails, considering all the manual work you do.😁
Managed to break 3 today!!
