    😂 low wind kiting awesome ..kit boarding looks like such fun....can an inflatable tube be added to Derricks kite?
    Overcoming challenges together what a blessing to be able to fix a situation and it doesn't cost a cent😅

      hello dear friend, no we can't inflate this kite. It has pros and cons, one of which is no inflation. Stay tuned, the diesel issue has not really been resolved yet...

      @@searchingforcoconuts2248 Thanks for the reply😁🤗,Eish the diesel bug hits every channel in some way, i see there is even a grey fuel line that delaminates inside and it looks like a fuel bug but is actualy a fuel restriction causing the problems ,looking forward to watching your solutions

    Thank you so much for sharing the stoke! 🤙🏽 Been kiting for decades, but just learning to sail an O’Day 28. Kinda fun being a newb again. Good winds to you both! -Aaron

    so you used a regular air pump to pump air into the open ball valve leading to the diesel tank ? So the diesel-bug sludge is still in the tank? How will you dissolve the sludge?

    What was the depth for the area that sailboat grounded? Was it a sandbank in middle of nowhere?

      Hiii fellow sailors... the area is well charted, they just thought they could catch a quick swim and move off before the tide dropped. Thank goodness it was sand, could have been a different outcome. As always, thanks for watching and adding value

      @@searchingforcoconuts2248 recently anchored in Datai and a little too close to that green patch in Navionics. Thankfully nothing happened but we didn't stay another night. We need longer chain. Thank you for the video ❣️
