We have been living on a sailboat and sailing offshore around the world for 7 years now! Having no clue how to sail, we bought an old 40ft Run down Bruce Roberts. We did our best to make our sailboat ready for anything, until we got stuck in some remote islands off Malaysia and created life! Now a family of 3 plus our Whippet, we upgraded sailboats to a Bob Perry design and are now preparing our dream boat, the Tayana 47 ready for the Indian Ocean! Let's do some miles as we sail west together! YEW!
Can you pls ex0lain how your hydra vane works pls being the gap between the solar panels? I just do not get it or see how it can move without being restricted!!
Discovered you guys via Max and Occy. Have been binge watching ever since trying to catch up. I have so much admiration for the way you both work so hard to make this lifestyle possible. Lula is growing so fast and I imagine that she will be continue to become a capable, kind and confident person just like her parents. Love seeing you enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Bonita even though you've removed the breast implants you still look AMAZING! and you have a man who would love you if you had a 3rd n1pple or green skin! Love❤❤❤
Gnarly surf ! But, you didn't get hurt ? Great. I have always thought the best thing for protection would be a helmet. But, no surfer would be caught dead with one.
Omg love how involved and passionate Tallulah is and her story telling!! ❤ get a robust silicone cover for her own cam, she does better than some new reporters!!! Plus she's soooo much cuter!! Back to the episode guys, rock on! 🇦🇺 Australia 🇦🇺
Oh guys this was a great video! Hope you got your sea legs on! And are all in tune to waters, the wind and the sailing, and safety aspects! Sending good vibes, strength, stamina and God's giving knowledge for your adventure❤❤❤ Be safe team! Keep focussed!
I commented in a previous vid that you had a voltage drop problem that needs fixing, you still have that problem and if you dont address it you will continue to have starting trouble, despite new or old starter motor. Find where your losing voltage in the cables and fix it. Im also electrician
@mgunning I’m a mechanic and agree with you. I would check voltage drop in the cables. A down and dirty test is use a set of jumper cables in place of the battery cables. See if the issue goes away.
@@robseg thats a good check. I use a voltmeter to measure voltage drop from centre of +ve battery post, to postive stud on starter, whilst cranking. I Unplug the diesel fuel solenoid so it cant start. Repeat test on negative cable, centre of battery negative post to starter frame. Ide expect to read about 2 volts considering what i saw on the last video by Yosh. Or 1V on each cable. Best to turn off Auto ranging on voltmeter as it will respond quicker considering the fluctuating voltage whilst cranking.
Y'all are kicking off such an amazing adventure! Killer voice overs in this one Yosh, you sound so good! So glad you were able to knock out the engine repairs and get the fuel lines cleaner. Also so stoked you were able to muster up a drone for this passage. Already such amazing shots! Can't wait to see more of the crossing and for you to reunite with the family! Until next time! ⛵🎉
Disco Stu is such a vibe! What a boys trip this is turning out to be Parts of this video had us rolling.😂Those waves looked totally gnarly! Super excited to try surfing one day, but maybe on something much smaller lol Keep frothing y'all! ⛵🎉
Omg Yoshi you did great picking different crew! I love getting to know the different personalities! Plus great food! Plus great tunes! Wishing you good winds and following seas!
I once had a diesel motorhome based on a Mack CBL bus--it had a HUGE diesel engine w8ith a massive starter motor that could draw as much as 400 amnps with the glow plugs alight. Anyhoo--it had big Leece-Neville platinum contact relays to do the change-over from 12 to 24 volts, and start the monster. I replaced the relays with a solid state system. BIG thyristors that could switch big amperages--and they only conduct when the 12 volts is applied to the gate. Thyristors at the time, many years ago were seven dollars each--and I needed five of them. The Leece-Neville relays in total were over three hundred dollars and made a loud noise when they engaged. The Thyristors were silent. and them along with their heat sinks took up about as much space as ONE of the previous heavy current relays--which I kept in store when reconditioned for anchor windlass and winch controls.
Lots of work to get started but a lot of fun being had too! Good crew you've assembled Yosh! Hope your diesel problems stay in the rear view mirror! Sail on, the Indian awaits!
