Wow. Great video. Thank you for sharing your great adventure. Life is beautiful when you have a job you love, and even better when you can walk away from one you don't. Living the dream. Sail on.♡
You could have at least put a knife threw its head quick and painless first... instead it was ripped in half thats absolutely horrible way to die..humans are so cruel..
Significant, it's burning oil. Worst case it's a full rebuild due to o rings or head gasket. Best case, Make sure you don't have too much oil in the engine and if you do....then drain it to the appropriate amount, pull the spark plugs and clean or replace them and run it till it stops smokink
As a professional Mariner and a Merchant Marine engineer of over 45 years one of those jobs that I've always been tasked with is winless operation during anchoring procedures this video was well done one of the most common things I've seen amongst non-professional Mariners quote Weekend Warriors is a total lack of understanding of what it takes to properly anchor and secure a vessel good job with you video
Great question! Not the VIN or IMO number. They're looking for the 7-digit USCG Documentation Number found on the USCG Certificate of Documentation under OFFICIAL NUMBER
Nice video. That's how I've been taught to do it and it works. However I was out with friends who argued that you should run a dock line through the hawser and attach the dock line to the cleat. The dock line is apparently much easier to untie in high tide conditions. They own a catamaran, so maybe it's different for them than a monohull. Thoughts?
