      @@DangarMarine mate, you'll be let off with a warning - first time offence. You had plenty on your mind, you were excited.
      Renko looks stunning. The paint gleeming, the Detroit purring. She looked good before, but she is a swan now.
      Don't know why, but I got a little shiver when you showed the sea anchor tied off on the home made stainless steel cleat.
      All credit to you and Team Renko - happy voyages

      Thanks mate, all the Raymarine gear certainly has made the cruising both safer and more enjoyable. Although I didn't show it in this video, I had the FLIR camera and radar going all the way up the coast until the sun rose. It gave me great confidence to know the water ahead of us was clear of any unlit obstructions.

    @desolatemetro 3 роки тому

    Renko looks great. Agree with the other commenter that the table came out really well.
    It's awesome that you can practice metal detecting there. You get to dive in clear water to build the muscle memory where you can actually see, there are pre-buried bits of metal for you to search for, and you get garbage out of the ocean at the same time. Everyone wins there. Good to see that not all the world's reefs are bleached and destroyed too.
    And a Big Lebowski reference to boot!

    Hi Stu, because I know you just love it when some arrogant tosser provides some additional information to you, thought I might …… FYI @14:53 the Goby ‘nosy fish’ would appear to be a Grubfish, possibly a Spothead Grubfish (Parapercis clathrata), they belong to the Grubfish Family (Pinguipeidae), Goby’s typically have a blunter forehead and more distinctly separated pair of shorter (length) dorsal fins.

    Thought you were going to do the "Magic Genie in the Bottle" trick - invert and get the bottle neutrally buoyant with exhaled air - then 'call' the Genie to your waiting hand held either above or below and the bottle sinks or floats to order! Magic
    Secret is only takes a few inches of upward distance for it to become mildly buoyant or conversely down a few inches before you release and it sinks.
