So noted number 712….. but she always finds the most beautiful places at the end…sure we are all lost but the end result was worth her uncanny sence of direction to find where no one has gone before…. She is a keeper for sure….🥰
great channel! Here is an important tip, you should only fill a gas bottle to a maximum of 80%, otherwise it can explode as the gas must be able to expand due to temperature differences. good luck from belgium👍
Great tip! Thanks. We were going off the expected weight of a full bottle (after a fill from a filling station) so hopefully that is a safe level to allow for expansion but definitely something we need to look into more. Thanks
In Mexico, the gas is forced in until no more will fit, not a problem, in Australia, the bleed valve is opened for filling, and when liquid comes out, the filling is stopped, so that must be your 80% level.
I've seen shopping endeavors on other channels - but you managed to make it the most fun! Hopefully when using your gas you don't blow anything up. Very interesting way to keep the tanks filled. Donate for a Dream
Shopping is far from our favourite thing to do (can you tell) so we figure we have to have some fun while we do it. Will keep you posted on our combustion status 😃
Two things that may help you in the future. In Australia any gas bottle that has an explosive/combustible gas has a lefthand thread on the bottle where you connect the hose. An inert gas has a righthand thread. On lpg bottles there is a screw at the neck that has to be opened when filling so that when the bottle is full it will allow air and gas to escape. If you don't open the screw you will only get a partial fill.
When I was younger, the standard method was to open the screw and fill till liquid came out. Now (in the US) the standard is to fill to weight. Also, the screw is no longer opened by some as the pressure will equalize as long as the tank isn’t over filled. But… be aware that LP boils at -42C. Butane shouldn’t be a big deal since it boils at just under 0C.
If you run out of gas and don't notice that the flame has gone out air enters the bottle, the way to displace the air is to open the screw as I mentioned. If you don't do this you are trying to compress the air and you will not get a full bottle.@@AbNomal621
I spent some time helping a friend who ran a propane shop. Liquid LP can cause instant frostbite so we used rubberized gloves. But… if your system can use both (not all can) wouldn’t have been easier to simply have placed the butane tank into the locker and used it like normal?
Unfortunate the local tank is steal and prone to rusting so we didn’t want to put it in a locker that has a vent directly into the sea below (get a lot of salt in that locker). It also doesn’t fit in there so hence the gravity solution. To be honest, we hope that we will be able to offer other cruisers some fills when we are out in the middle of no where too so it’s kind of a win win
If you guys want bread buy a breadmaker at a second hand store or something. In reality they only use like .3-,4ish kw total or something typically. So 300 or 400 watts for an hour equivalent.
@@RedSeas Not only that, you get to blame your flatulence on the gas bottle leaking. I spared your followers the details of attaching the hose, but if you you want, I can send you some nifty pics.
That is an average trip to the grocery store here in the US. Some places are higher because of location. Most of the prices we saw as you were walking around were comparable. Some a little higher some a little lower.
You must be crazy to go forward with the filling of the bottles with smell of gas in the compartment. As gas is heavier than air it will collect at the bottom of the compartment and stay there until you switch some electric devices in there and blow up the boat. That's exactly why this is forbidden and why gas bottles in the EU have left threaded connectors.
It’s certainly not our preference to do this procedure but it’s worth noting that the compartment is designed to store gas bottles and has several vents in the floor for this exact reason. The leak was very very minor and the drains dealt with any potential build up. Thankfully we have found and fixed the leak since this video. It was the first time doing this fill so we were fault finding as we went.
Ah but the food and supplies are sooooo good 😂 we have had some great experiences in french countries as we cruise around. Sure there are some who would prefer we not visit but we have seen much worse in non-french territories to be honest
I always love shopping with you guys. It’s all part of the adventure. It’s also why my wife won’t let me shop with her, it takes twice as long and we end up with at least 8 stupid things I just had to have. One of them will be pickled jalapeños! They go with everything! Try a small spoon of peanut butter and put one jalapeño slice on it. Amazing! (Must be crunchy peanut butter, Neanderthals eat creamy peanut butter) Jdhu edjjee883ms. Emile Stupid peanut butter on iPad..
Yeah, shopping with me (iain) is a bit like taking a puppy to the park. “Ooo look at this shiny thing, we should get two!”….i don’t usually get to go shopping and when I do, I’m sent to the tech section to occupy me. 🤔 think you misunderstood PB&J my friend. But I’ll give it a go

It’s been absolutely brilliant so far. We added a meter of chain to help weight down the floating line and it made a great difference too

It’s nice that you think it’s her sense of direction that gets us there and not me steering from behind.
"We did a thing..." Should absolutely go on a T-shirt.
Great vid like always, greetings from -2ºC the Netherlands.
🥶 that sounds cold! We are actually thinking we need to start a run of t-shirts with all these phrases on them. That definitely gets first shout!
That was brilliant I really enjoyed that
Wow! Thank you. So pleased you enjoyed it. Spread the word for us and see if you can find more properly o enjoy it with 😂
…..and I was most impressed at Iains translation skills….. but to find out we were fooled 🤓
Well, I mean what else can I say 😂

That hose for gas is genius…..not sure H&S would approve 🫣
Probably best they don’t watch any of our other episodes the. 😜

@@RedSeasyes the screw is to be opened while filling. When liquid starts to come out of screw close it and your bottle is full

YAY for people who `forget to throw things out!` ....YAY for we archivists.
Have you seen the cabin of bad ideas? 😂
🤣
It`s a treasure trove ... with or without your handcuffs.
I was planning to go to Tahiti or Australia but the ship sunk and landed in guarma
Wow! That’s a bit of a sudden shift in plans. Sorry to hear that. Hope you make it some day.

2.2lbs = 1kg Nice new ancher...Theory and in practice are not always the same...Well done.
Actually kind of funny because at that weight it was more likely originally designed in metric.
I only remember this. Being a diving instructor and working with Americans and Europeans..
That’s what Bri always remembers. I somehow manage to get it back to front all the time.
That’s gore Bri remembers it too. I manage to get it back to front if I don’t have to think about it for a while
Totally! Strangely they only have the lbs stamped on the side tho 🤔

We actually have one. Bri just has a real soft spot for baguettes so when we get the chance to buy some, she doesn’t hold back 😂
Iain is right ….i got my nuclear proof food list started…lol😝
Nailed it
Have you ever tried the eating beans method of refilling your gas bottle? It works really well if you can get past the smell.
I always thought the smell was a safety feature 😂

🤔 we need to up our game in that case. Not a lot of earnings for two people making UA-cam videos 😂
Bri can make an advent calendar out of cereal box’s….no need to pay 17
Exactly - DIY is always better 😆
For Tahiti you need MUNEH and god damned PLAN!
Well we will keep winging it as always 😂
Where’s wall art Costco and macys and Best Buy.

Did you pay for those Bugst bread sticks? 😎…first ever vidio sail channel shoplifting instruction….😝🤣😂🤣
We wouldn’t have made it out the door before our conscience would have us put them back. Dry pasta and pesto for us again
You guys run out of pop tarts ….😭
Truly devastating!
Your old math students are laughing right now….😝
Putting learning into action 😂
MAke your own pop tarts. Not hard at all
Now that sounds like a recipe for disaster 😂
All cruisers! Never go to any french territory. They hate your guts unless you have super mega yacht!
Ah but the food and supplies are sooooo good 😂 we have had some great experiences in french countries as we cruise around. Sure there are some who would prefer we not visit but we have seen much worse in non-french territories to be honest
propane is heavier than air, you're gonna die! Newton award coming up!
Well, there is a drain at the bottom of the gas locker…that’s why they call it a gas locker 😂 so I think we will get away with it a little longer 😂
