5200 will fix the inflatable with a hypalon patch squeezed between two boards covered with cellophane using C clamps for credence 30 years on cruising time you also need Flopper Stoppers and I said before it's all about whether you get seasick or not Mitch
And as I watch this episode of you life afloat, it's absolutely bucketing down here on the South Coast of England. The BBC has issued a Yellow Warning of Heavy Rain and Flooding until mid-day tomorrow. So far, it's been a cold and wet July. It's not been this bad in July since 2004, with more to come. With a bit of luck, we MIGHT get a summer this year, but as the Schools are now shutting for the Summer Holidays, we're not holding our breaths. Hey Ho! Russ, in Not so Sunny Hampshire.
Ouch, i guess we all have the rain then! Although, i would choose the hot rain over the cold, even with a bit of a bumpy night! Hopefully the sun shines for you soon Russ 😊
Giday, lovelies great vlog again, but hey what's with leaving little Teulu in need of a dingy doctor, that's not like u 2 at all. How awesome is it to be able to make drinking water from the sea, that's definitely a plus for human ingenuity. Be safe lots luv💜💜😁
Now comes your honesty test. Would you do it the same all over again now knowing what you know about boating? I know your anwser. Just wanting to hear it from you guys. Love your positive attitudes, your courage and determination. Being honest I couldn't do it. And my mental strength is beyond most people. Good luck. I'm now addicted to your videos. I have Binged all of Sailing with Zatara. The Wynns, sailing with six. And admire all of your courage. Even prayed for your success and happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤
If you half set your mizen sail, it will help to stop the side to side roll. It must be tight like a tarp, rather than sail shaped. Older cruisers used to have a flat sail specifically for this. Great videos, thank you 🙃
We wish we could use our mizzen for this but its so damn loud and as we sleep in the cabin beneath the mast, it makes it pretty hard to sleep, but we will give it ago super tight and see if it helps at all, thanks for the suggestion!
But you may be able to cook without your food decorating the floor! It will tend to push your bow into the wind too, although this is not always desirable!! Really love your videos, so professional and well produced, well done 🥰
is it just me or does the rolly's comfort others than just me? When I'm in those big seas and at anchor, it feels like i'm more comfortable than on land. Does anyone else feel like this? When I was a kid, my dad was a trucker, I would sleep like a baby in the truck.
Over the last couple of weeks I've had time to watch from the start, wow, what an amazing journey you guys are having. Your zest for life is inspiring and attitude to overcome setbacks (broken engine in the middle of nowhere) is admirable. I'm here for the rest of the journey now. Keep up the great the work.
Do you ever think to put up the Mizzen? That will keep the Boat Heading into the Wind when at Anker. I often used it when I was Commercial Fishing. Stay SAFE Guys!
We would but two issues with it: 1. Its really loud and we sleep below it and 2: Theres often not enough wind here for it to do anything annoyingly but thanks for the suggestion!
We have a saying in New Zealand, "she'll be right mate" when things don't turn out the way you want. It's great to see Teulu Tribe has the same attitude and you know the sun will come out again. Chin up team and keep on 'truckin.
Great vlog guys well done! On camera descriptions on anchor and active sailing in light winds fantastic content! Enjoy the moment as I can only do from a distance. Thx
Those houses through! They looked like proper tree houses when you were 1st showing them! How fantastic! I think you need to put heads together, ask around, what ever.. and find an Anchorage for sleep.. if there is such a place.. being exhausted is the worst. It's like sleep walking (sailing) through it.. I pray for you both with every video! You have a beautiful style about your videos! I think you could do many ads and we will watch! You are that good! Please don't sacrifice income for us ever! We adore you both!
Threw up twice during this one. 😉 When you said , a rough week, I had no idea. Make sure you always have one of your stickers on hand, you missed a wonderful chance to leave your mark on that sign. I paused the video to look and see if you put one there. I couldn't have stayed in an anchorage that rough. Thanks for toughing it out and getting a video out. Love you. Stay safe. ❤🙏
Haha we weren't kidding with the warning! And you BET we left a TT sticker on that sign Steve! If you follow us on Instagram, theres a little video there showing it. Thanks for being here as usual!
Look into how to set up a swell bridle instead of a stern anchor. Similar to a snubber, attach a line to the anchor chain with a rolling hitch or spliced loop and clip, let out a couple of boat lengths of line a and secure midship on the side away from the swell. Haul it in until your bow points into the swell. The advantage, unlike a stern anchor, is that it can be adjusted from onboard as the wind changes and it’s as easy as a snubber to retrieve. Nice video, thanks.
Use a 2/3 leg bridle on your main anchor . Lead lines to bow and port and starboard stern / midships. You can adjust your angle to the swell by changing the lengths of the 2/3 lines! Just saw the other comment re bridles ! oops ! Lots of people looking out for you ! Good travels !
Surprisingly, I have always had really great sea legs whenever I've been on a boat. That is even more astonishing if you know that on a bad day, I can't play Fallout or Skyrim for more than 30 minutes without getting woozy. Recently I got my hands on a VR rig with a world feedback device. Amazing experience as it was, I couldn't take it for more than three minutes.
@@TeuluTribe I think it's the lack of matching full body feedback and the quick and hectic bouncing of the camera that does me in. Compared with cameras in video games, even a small boat in a choppy sea moves quite ponderous.
Not a sailor, but lovey our videos 😊 but i have read about a method, but dunno how much to put into it, but seems like it might help, they swung their boom out over the side with a large bucket with holes in it and dropped it in, works like a mini drogue. "Shrug"
Flopper stopper? Or an anchor bridal rigged to bring the bow into the swell instead of having it on the beam. It’s simple to rig and easier than a stern anchor to set up.
@@TeuluTribe ah of course. We have had too much wind in the UK this summer force 9 for the Round the Island Race. So a lack of wind didn’t occur to me. 🤪 that leaves a flopper stopper I guess.
I would much rather be on the rolly anchorage over being in my air conditioned mansion. Trust me you’re living the life! I can’t sail in this part of the world now as it’s crazy hot 50 degrees. My boat has to wait until the winter… I miss living on anchor like there is no tomorrow. Keep the positive attitude and remember your lucky 😊
Just rewatched your Boat Tour from the early days. Mabey it's time for an update with all the changes you guys did to the Boat in the last two years? Would love to have a side by side comparison of how Teulu changed:) Love your Vids
First time I went to Costa Rica maybe 30 + years ago a local told me to avoid the “ Green Season “ which I realized was the rainy season BUT another local a Lawyer explained his interpretation of the Green Season was his leather Brief Case had a tendency to turn various shades of green .
Have you repaired the tear in that one compartment of the dingy already? If not, here's how I would approach that. This starts with the question what material is around the air-inflated compartment. That determines what glue you need and what repair material will match. In bicycling, there is a century old glue that helps repair a puncture in your bike's inner tire. You would use a patch of inner tube material with similar material properties and elasticity to glue over the hole. That works flawlessly and reliably. But the inner tube is restricted by the outer tire and that means there is a limitation to the load exerted by air pressure - the inner tube gets help from the outer and this helps the patch to stay in place. As soon as motorcycles and cars started to use "tubeless" tires, that changed the procedure. In the case of the dingy, I would to glue a patch to the inside, considering the size of the tear, and the outside. I would glue a patch to the inside starting along one side (length) of the tear once this is really fixed in place I would glue it along the other end - here the function is to get strength to hold the sides together, not necessarily perfect air-tightness. Working this way would/could enable some clamping while the glue sets. Next I would put air pressure in the zone and glue a patch on the outside. Make the patches oval in order to prevent sharp corners of the patch to easily work loose. "Clamp" using gaffer tape or so.
I've just watched (more like binge-watched) all your videos over the past 3 weeks. Glad I found your excellent channel. Wow, you both grew as people in 2 years. You were adventurous to start this and now you're both so brave, strong and resourceful! I've learnt so much about what's required to run a boat from you and will begin next year. It's been many years for me (last aboard a Nautilus Swan 57 ketch, beautiful boat, years ago, and always had this desire to get afloat again). I've travelled lots too and of all the amazing places visited, I can't help thinking that beautiful Wales is up there among the most scenic. Maybe not the warmest weather, but when the sun shines hot it's beaches and scenery are up there with the world's best. I look forward to your excellent videos and long may you both have great adventures, and much good fortune! Stay safe.
Have you considered one of those FlopStoppers? They look like they might be helpful… Onwards and upwards with a stiff upper lip and the bravado of Blighty to boot!!!
It would be boring if everything went perfectly! That rolling reminds me of a night on a mooring buoy in Salcombe years ago, in a southerly gale. Hardly slept a wink !
To stop things sliding about wet some towels or tee shirts ring them out until damp put on table tops or counter tops to stop rolling a round in bed jam something under outside ove your mattress
I have a question, why don't modern sailors use hammocks? Hundreds of years ago sailors used hammocks, and when you have a boat rolling then it just looks like it would make sense to set up the hammock above your bed, so you can sleep stationary whilst everything else in your boat is rolling around side to side.
Good question- easy answer for us! We don't have the 'real estate' on board. Above our bed is angular and pretty tight, and the only other place we could hang a hammock is in the saloon or galley but if we rolled, we would be sure to crash into things- maybe Teulu looks a bit bigger on camera then she really is 😊
In the past have been on the bow, watching for lobster pots in fog on the South Coast, UK, think I would swap you. The format is good, well done, just saying.
