- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- After a 300 mile crossing, we arrive in Weipa and take the opportunity to restock our provisions. We run through our recipe for home made bacon, put on a brew and do a little woodwork. As a bonus, you can learn:
13:00 how to coil a hose like a pearl diver; and
26:48 tie the world’s best cargo hitch.
We are very grateful to our friends Emma and Leroy who made us welcome in their home and took us into their family.

Another excellent video. Just a few epoxy notes:
- Don't get it on your skin. Exposure can lead to sensitisation, meaning you can get horrible rashes and other reactions from even slight exposure down the track. This could even preclude you from being in the cabin of an epoxy boat. Since no batch of epoxy is perfectly stoichiometric, there are always some unreacted molecules around.
- It is not UV stable. Your oars need a coat of paint or varnish to protect them from the sun.
- Bote Cote ratios are 2:1 by volume, but 100:44 by weight. It's a great product.
Thank you Leon. We have pinned this comment to the top of the section for its valuable information. Just the thing we hoped to gain from our Free Range Community.
Duly noted Bill. Learning from your elders is the worlds best shortcut.
thanks !
Yeah - a guy I know building a 60foot cat got so sensitised (West System epoxy) he had to wear head to toe protective suit with pressurised air just to do the smallest of epoxy jobs. He'd walk into the shed and he'd flare up and had more than a few visits to the hospital (I think they used antihistamine injections). Not nice - not one bit nice.
Having said that - not all epoxies are the same and he may have reacted differently to a different brand. But who knows.
I look forward to chatting soon David. Just prepping for the trip south. Leaving soon.
Pascal is the highest upgrade anyone could make to their life! God bless both of ya and keep sailing and teaching the rest of us, "How to do it right!"
All I ever see on other sailing channels is sandy beach and more sand. You both break it up and still make videos relevant to sailing. Again, I enjoy the videos and keep them coming. Youth both are the best.
Talking about bird poo! An old whaler out of New Bedford, Maine after a 2 year whaling voyage happened on an old acquaintance. His friend took a look at him and saw he had a wooden leg, a hook for a hand and a patch over his left eye. He commented that he must have had a terrible time. The old whaler commented...yeah...I got my leg caught up in a coil of rope and when we harpooned a whale it took my leg off and the ships carpenter fashioned this peg for my missing leg. We were cutting blubber off of a whale and a flensing blade sliced my hand off and they fashioned this hook as a replacement. But what happened to you eye asked his friend. Well, I was looking up in the rigging and an albatross took a poop in my eye. His friend said...surely that wouldn't have caused you to loose an eye. The old whaler replied...well no..but I forgot I had the hook!
Haha that is gold mate
"it was my first week with the hook."
That's a good one!
"Fart noise" , joke is as old as the frigging rigging.....
@@larrysmiths1 A joke only get old because it keeps getting told. You hadn't heard that joke before you first heard it and you hearing it again ain't a reason to stop telling it.
I must say - "Boat life does a body really great!" You guy/girl are looking more trim and fit than ever. The sailor and his sailorette beauty. Boat life suits you both. I had a 30' Columbia that had been sailed through the Panama Canal twice before I got it. I lived in the Glorietta Bay under the Coronado Bridge in San Diego for just over a year before duty to the Navy called me away from that lifestyle that I traded in for a life of children. Watching you all has really made me think about selling everything and going back to the sea before I get too old. Thanks for your movies. You are both truly wonderful people.
You both are a wealth of knowledge. Every time I watch I come away a little wiser. Loved the knots.
My old long time ago departed Father told me decades ago, "A day without learning something new is a wasted day, son." I'm 65, nearly 66 in June, and I did learn something I did not know today. Thank you, both of you, oh so dear young couple, I will go to bed happy and more educated tonight. Thank you from the bottom of my old hearth. If I could only win the Lotto, I would join you on your journey, only asking to sleep in your genious dinghy, no more. But I've been not so lucky so far. Keep on living your dream life for us, admirers. I truly love you both kids. Take real care of each other. xxx Marc René
Oh for Fox sake - I'm going to complain to UA-cam - This is just unfair to other channels - (Riley and Elay take note ,and its not that you do it at all badly!) I mean, it's OK to have joy and it's OK to have science-knowledge and real experience, but seriously, I'm just embarrassed to admit how much I've gained from 32 minutes of video :-)))))).
So well done and not at all sure from whom I've learnt the most.
FWAFS (to say nothing of culinary kudos) guys. BB
Please don't stop eating. Every time I watch one of you two munching I get hungry but it's so much fun watching you. And such high quality food. Munch away, please! Munch those cracklings!!
I could watch your videos for hours. You have the perfect blend of fishing, sailing, adventure and having fun, but much more. It's the excellent way you both explain what you are doing which makes watching your channel so special. I am always telling people to watch and subscribe as I really believe you offer viewing that would appeal to a very wide audience. Looking forward to your next vlog, great work guys.
You two should have a television show.
Great how-to knowledge. I sold my last sailboat some 15 years ago but the seas are calling again. Most of the channels are super light on the nitty gritty so videos like this are pure gold! Thank you so much for sharing!
Bowline truckers hitch haven't seen that one what a bloody useful knot. Pascal and her in house skills man you guys have got it wired.
Truckie's knot is one of those knots that everyone else uses, as Truckie's are forced to use straps and chains by the OHS demons.
@@fishaholiclures Only got on this channel 2 weeks ago thanks to "Cruising Helmsman" mag but you are right about the knots. You could do a semi in 10-15 minutes with ropes-now it can be up to 45 making sure there is no twist in the strap and and tightening the fool of things down. Long live practicality over these fool of occupational health and safety university trained know alls that have never got their hands dirty but load all their stupidity onto everybody else
I may have to start taking notes from your "how to's" for later when I'm camping off the grid. This video warms my little Girl Scout heart!
Absolutely brilliant!I can now tie a Truckers hitch!No longer dependant on tension straps!Cheers mate!I feel like a new man!
Beware the law regarding vehicles and rope in your neighbourhood.
What a great way to provision! So much less trash to show up at a fuel dock with as well, everything possible in refillable containers, no cartons, etc. I like to wash out my cans (tins) and use them again for paint or varnish. “Use it twice, keep the reef nice”.
The knot tutorial was certainly an added bonus. Thx!!
Full of useful stuff as always, and equally such a soothing balm to watch two people in loving harmony with their surroundings.
What a breath of Fresh Air you two are. Through your wonderful videos I'm able to experience your amazing adventures. Thank you for keeping it wholesome and so informative, you two are beautiful souls and I wish you well. Be careful out there, and I'll be watching. Thank You so much, keep up the amazing videos.
I'm constantly amazed at how wide the knowledge base of both of these people is (aka they are really smart!). They not only know everything about sailing and the ocean, but just in this one video they show knowledge of food storage, bacon making, beer making, spear making, meat smoking without a smoker, and much more. Other videos are the same. Very impressive!
Once again you raised the bar. So informative and well presented. One thing that stands out is the interaction between the two of you. Pascale..... your giggle is so infectious while you both create a bright spot in a rainy cool day here in NZ.
Really nice, especially too about your knots, the beakon and how you smoke it. Simple, easy and low cost. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR SKILL SET.
Very useful information for this 75 year old Texan, I hope I never get too old to learn and I enjoy learning from you 2. Keep up the good work and be safe
Troy you are a fantatic instructor. I have been using a version of the truckers hitch for 35 years. Finally I know how to do it. The bowline version the best. The hose pipe trick will have me thinking of you every time I roll the garden hose up. I love how you two work together. Just impressive. Please keep having fun and don't EVER let these videos turn into work. Sincerely.
Cheers Bruce and don't worry- we only do what we love.
I follow so many sailing video's but yours is my favourite! You are true sailors that know your stuff. people can always learn something from you.
When using a hydrometer, always give it a quick spin during the drop like a top/dreidel. This rapid rotation will dislodge air bubbles and insure accurate and consistent readings. Absolutely fantastic videos.
You guys are so the teaching mariners..always learn something watching your videos. Great episode as usual. One of the best sailing channels without a doubt👍
Bloody hell you have taught me even more in this Vid, all I need now is the time to try out some of things that I have learnt from you both.
Great info! Especially the knot tying.
I'm so glad I found your channel. You both are very much ahead of the pack.
Thoroughly enjoyed that. Is their anything Troy cannot do? Have learned so much from fishing to tying knots. Cannot wait for the next episode, thank you so much.
You two remind me very much of another sailing UA-cam chanel Sailing Emerald Steel. Both down to earth chanels. They have been doing it for thirty years and still enjoying it. Keep up the great work on the how to visit. Thank you very much
Keep up great work on how to videos
Free Range Sailing School is never dull, despite what the dog's yawn suggested! Looking for that ginger beer premix but no luck. Must be an Aussie thing? My old style truckers hitch is now new and improved. Thanks guys for it all
Any brew shop should sell ginger beer premix I've had success with a variety of brands. Unfortunately, making it from scratch is much harder, more time consuming and generally more expensive!
Free Range Sailing. We will check a brew shop. Thanks! Look forward to our next lessons.
In NZ my mother used to have a ginger beer "plant" which required "feeding" daily, then mixed/bottled and left to brew for a week or so. In summer, all good but winter required warmer temps so the bottles were put into our "hot water cupboard", an indoor cupboard built for the hot water cylinder, used to air/dry the laundry in winter. Those bottles can explode!!!! And they did one time at 4am, all over the week's load of clean dry laundry of a family of 5. Glass shards galore, cleanup took hours. 🥴
I love how intensely detailed each of your videos are, whether they describe fishing, cooking, provisioning, mechanics or maintenance. Absolutely involving and exciting to watch!
Watched from the beginning. You are both legends. Pascal is beautiful and a joy to hear her laugh. Troy - awesome educational bits and an incredible fisherman. Thanks so much for sharing. Would be interested in learning just how Troy knows how much of what he shares. Thanks for the videos!
A chequered past 😉
Another wonderful episode, I love seeing you make the bacon and brewing the beer. The pork cracklins looked wonderful! Can't wait for the next episode!! Cheers!!
Yes! Beer, Bacon, outdoor bathing and the funny bit at the end: Pascale chasing the truck up the boat ramp, LOL
FYI - to keep the land birds off the boat get a scale model bird of prey (Owl, Eagle, Falcon); hoist it to an elevated position.
You guys are brilliant. I love learning all the practical tips and tricks. I also appreciate learning the why along with the how. Thank you and happy travels!
Truly a mountain Everest of useful information! Thank you for going to the trouble to put it all together
You need to leave a little head room in the fermenter, also a tip I found useful is a little square of paper towel attached with a rubber band can help if there is an eruption with that type of airlock. I now use the 3 piece cylindrical type of airlock, heaps better & easier to clean too.👍⛵
Excellent as usual!!! When I was a kid (3rd and 4th forum, early ‘70s) my family moved to Australia. We lived in Bathurst and Oak Flats (near Wollongong). When in Oak Flats I got a summer job at a pallet factory stacking pallets on the delivery trucks (for .75 cents an hour). One of the truck drivers taught me how to do the “truckies knot”. I still use it often. Here in Oregon USA I have never seen anyone else use this knot, it seems to be largely unknown around here. I like the bowline trick, I’ll try it. Thanks for the trip down memory lane...
Thanks Brian. Road regulations require straps now so this knot will become rarer still but it's pretty handy to know.
Good call on the Coopers brew, I do alternate batches of green and black beers. Yum. Restored yacht look a bit special. All that hard work has paid off. Fair winds in the bite.
Troy you have an amazing amount of experience for a man who is relatively young- that from a lifelong sailing man of 67. Very cool. Makes me wonder if you ever had time for a real job :-)
BRAVO! Finally some sailors that eat healthy! And you had my favorite sprout on board. MUNG BEANS! WOOHOO! I eat them everyday! It just goes to show you how you "can" eat healthy on a boat. Billy and his girl over at Tulas Endless Summer eat pretty good as well. Also, VERY COOL on the knot. I used that one before but forgot about it or forgot what it was called. And never heard about reaching through the doorway. That's easy to remember. THANKS for all you bring to the sailing world! PEACE OUT!!
Fantastic again! Doubling up truckies hitches a new one for me. Ta
Really interesting stuff on those knots. I never knew you could do that like making a pulley and gearing it down to make more pulling power.
I'm not sure if you keep all of your you tube videos but you should. Really they are better than many tv programs. Your cinemagraphic skills are great and your personalities very welcoming. You may have your own TV production.
Even as a fishing show. Watching a shark chasing a queeny around you in a dinghy was super exciting...
Actually totally nuts ! Some of the best action and scenery that I have seen. Be safe and I hope the journey for both of you never ends.
I've been catching up as I can on your videos. They are excellent - I seem to learn something new and different with every one. An observation I would make with this one, in particular, is how fabulous a rapport you two seem to share. Clearly, there is a strong mutual respect for each other that plays through very nicely in your videos. I think that is one of the several really strong things that produces the strong, positive comments you get. Great job.
Thanks David. We think people need to see a man and woman in harmony. There's a lot of people pushing a war of the sexes mindset and this may serve as a small counter to that and a good to traditional values.
Loving the knots and hose coiling! Thanks for sharing!
Such a pleasant and entertaining presentation of a bunch of useful info. Thanks for sharing and fair winds.
We've started watching your videos from the beginning and appreciate all the helpful tips about sailing. We would love a tutorial on how you make cheese and yogurt!
loving the DIY stuff. we use to tie a overhand loop through to run trucker knot for our sounder poles on the river barges. but i like the sudo bowline with the trucker tie down better because you get the 3 to 1 and not a 1 to 1 like what we had. I'm digging the bacon recipe too. I'm tired of buying bacon here in the states that just is not right!!! and when you find one you like, its never seen again!!! Also loving the great barrier reef dives/snorkels. I miss it and will be back hopefully soon. y'all keep up the good vibes
Thanks guys for making our lives better. hope thing are will.
John The Limo Driver from Kansas city USA
Thanks John
Love the spear demo you simplified what was once a mystery but shouldn’t have been
The best steel is the stuff around the edge of an inner Spring mattress but it rusts. Stainless needs notches cut in to hold well.
Oh the piano music at the beginning of this video. Would cause anyone to watch anticipating more. lol
Good video, there is a surfeit of tropical scenery on youtube, so useful instruction is much appreciated, I liked the bacon making and beer brewing.
Unbelivable great tips for full time sailors! Thank you Capt. J~
My favorite sailing Channel I love how much I learn from you guys .... soon I'll be on the water myself and I'll have tons of useful information to put to use from your videos ... cheers !
Awesome and informative video, especially the truckies knots at the end. We'll be incorporating those on our journey. Thank you.
I am new to this channel. It is so educational, and entertaining.
You both have great personalities and smarts that easily flow down the lens.
Thank you, well done.
Love it
I have never wondered about the proper way to coil a hose...but I suspect my life has changed! Brilliant episode on, as usual, everything, provisions, cooking, ropes and spears! The best instructional VLog on UA-cam.
Hello 👋 Troy and Pascal. I have stumbled across your channel and I would like to say I am in awe of your resourcefulness and knowledge of the land and sea. You both are an inspiration and with luck, one day I hope to live on a boat. Hopefully I will remember a few of your lessons. What I like most is how you set out to explain everything in simple terms, most helpful for people like me, ‘land lubber’ with no survival experience. Alex
Cheers Alex and welcome to Free Range Sailing - we hope the tips help you to get a step closer to living on the sea.
Loved the video, with all its advice. Hope your friends enjoyed the bacon.
That over hand under hand technique works for many things: hoses, electric cords, mic cables, braided rope... a long list.
Fabulous video. Really enjoyed all of the projects you we're into during the video. Hope you get back to the boat soon. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks
Not sure if you guys read this old mail or not but after binge watching your channel. You just made my all time top 5 channels I have followed on UA-cam. I have watched literally hundreds of hours of footage and this was right up there at the top. Full of knowledge and a little fun as well. Never seen that version of a "Truckers Hitch" before. Seems legit. Thanks for that tidbit of knowledge. Smashing job! Have fun, be safe and KEEP ON, SAILIN ON. Cheers
Thank you very much RJ and welcome to the crew. We try to make each episode worth your time watching so we're very happy to hear you got so much from it. Hope you enjoy all our work and look forward to hearing from you again. Take care. T&P
Lots of info and fun in this one. When the birds discover your boat they are hard to get rid of. As well as the mess the like to peck at your wind gear. The cockys are the worst. Lots of provisioning hints and advice. We eat so healthy on the boat due to the lack of health food. 😂😂
Great tip about th cardboard boxes, I learnt that the very first time I saved in the BVI, Left th box in th dingy and transferred the food to the boat. Did not even bring th box aboard in the cockpit. We then drenched the box in the water until we brought it back to shore. Very good tip to mention,
Each box comes with a bonus.
At time of this comment, you have 395 likes and no dislikes. The internet loves you both, your provisioning and your handy knots. Fair seas, love what you do.
Again excellent. Nice to see an absence of nitrate in the bacon. I have convinced my family that that grey bacon tastes just as good as as pink bacon - and doesn't give you bowel cancer... Oh and I like the rind on mine, hairy nipple and all.
We tend to use figure of eight knots for the purchase on truckers hitches. We use them for dingy forestays here as well as for load carrying.
Note that epoxy is not UV stable. It needs something to stop it breaking down. A coat of polyurethane will do it.
I do also like Alpine butterfly knots as they can be loaded in 3 directions. That's the professional ropey in me though. Figure 8 does very well.
Even more awesomeness than usual. Thanks for sharing
I raised two boys the youngest of which is 24 and has a double bachelors degree in computer science working for HP while the older graduates with a PhD in Chemistry from The Scripps Research Institute this May. He has been accepted by Princeton University for a 2 1/2 year Post Doc research program. Neither ever attended a single day in public school. We felt we could do a better job because we could make learning fun and interesting. I really feel like your channel is entertaining while it educates and that is always a winning recipe.
A very heart warming anecdote that plays very well to our prejudices about the present state of public schooling.
Thank you so much both of y'all are really awesome I want to thank you for showing how to tie a knot thank you
Thanks for the info on the truckers hitch and the parang. Appreciate it.
As usual, another wonderful episode. When the SHTF, everyone will be looking to you for guidance. Don't give it. Make us all suffer the consequences. Love ya!
Troy, you are fun to watch and you provide amazing tips.
been awhile since I touched him with you guys we did a short Cruise went all the way around Florida and back up cuz I'm from Jacksonville and we had a problem in Cruise. so I look back to my favorite sailing Channel which is you guys by the way I love you I love you I love you I love you guys provide so information Troy you are the epitome of what all men aspire to be and you got the best boatmate and mate LOL. but I look back to your instructional videos and you walked me step-by-step through it love you guys and thank you for everything you're an inspiration to all of us Cruisers. stay safe keeping one of your back and just keep doing what you're doing man. my wife and I are now looking into patreon for you guys and hopefully we will be able to help you on your Cruise's brother. with much love and respect Rick.
I am constantly learning useful skill from the two of you, excellent!
I watch most of the popular sailing videos on you tube and i feel that yours are by far the best.
They are Informative, knowledgeable with a relaxed style, most enjoyable for a shore bound sailor.
One thing missing is a subtitle button for people like me that are hard of hearing, please add the button as it would make it so much more enjoyable.
Keep them coming.
An old salty
Its definitely something we would like to provide, we just don't have the time at the moment. We will do it as soon as it's possible. Hope you understand.
Troy, watching your line technique tying the dingy inspired me to make my first braided loop yesterday. If time allows, why not more line knots and tricks. Many thanks!
They're coming.
Great video again ! The wealth of knowledge you're spewing out is incredible and is appreciated immensely ! Can't wait for the next episode ! cheers.
Cheers Robert. More spewing to follow.
Boat maintenance IS interesting, but not to old dogs who have seen a puppy or two LOL Onya Troy & Pasqie, great info as usual.
Thanks for another great video. Despite my vast ( lol) knowledge, I always learn something from you two.
Why wrap the veggies in paper? Troy, thanks for teaching spear making and sharing knot tying instructions. Pascale, the beer and bacon instructions were informative. Again, you folks are great teachers.
Wrap veg in newspaper and they keep quite s bit longer. Makes for a good micro- climate and any that go a bit juicy don't contaminate the rest.
Thanks.... we will have to try putting veg in newspaper.
I was in the Coast Guard and DO NOT LIKE SEAGULS !!!! Lol, you both are beautiful people ! peace love happiness. jj
I’m really enjoying your guys adventure. The tips fishing knots ect is awesome too. You guys should do Naked and afraid.
What a great video. Love the new trucker hitch
That knot-thing was impressive!! Nice to know if I get stucked with the car in the future
I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and just binged on everything you've posted so far. They're amazing; Troy, you're like a modern day Malcolm Douglas and Pascale is just a beautiful jewel on the high seas and I love her history and cooking segments. I wish I was still in Townsville so if and when you passed by I could take you out to dinner or provide you some accommodation. However, I'm now in Sydney but the offer is still extant if you come down this far. I can't wait for the next episode. In all the sailing channels I subscribe to, you guys, without a doubt, catch the most fish lol.
Our Facebook page updates our real time location so we can say g'day when we get to Sydney (in a little while!)
Once again the editing is top notch! I'm sure it's not a big deal to a lot of people but editing is very hard to do. Also the "flow rate" and the way you capture surroundings just enough to make you feel like your there is almost perfect. Pascal and you always put a smile on me every time. Loved the live stream the other day as I was lucky to be on when you were podcasting. I do hope you get a little bigger boat soon though the one have is very romantic as it is. Cheers
Thanks for sharing guys, very informative. From your fans here Florida, good on ya. Smooth sailing. ⛵👍🎣🐾
Newbie to your channel. Becoming a fan. Some great advice and how to's. and a bonza couple. Cheers.
A LOT of good useful info! Skipping canned (tins) saves weight and trash along with plastic. I guess a lot of people do not consider that one has to keep all the trash on board after use!
And sometimes for a very long time!
Very informative, thank you!
By the time I finish all your Ep. I will be an expert sailor, thanks so much
By the time we finish making them we hope to be expert sailors!
That ~bowline truckies hitch was brilliant, taught my 52 year old ass something, and you could use it to get even more pressure if needed.
Always learn something... You really got me hosed. Always looking forward to the next video thank you
Playing spot the ropey again. Betcha adapted that bowline from rope access and climbing. I know I did. I've been throwing biners in to the wear locations on truckies hitches when I want to haul instead of load tie down. If you throw a pulley in there as well you lose even more friction. You can also use the loop of the bowline for more mechanical advantage. such an adaptable knot eh.
Well done on the provisions & your culinary savvy Paushkell she is a real Peach Troy and a Brewmaster well thats just over the top to be sure; All the best from western Canada
