The buoys are indicators for pipes that now supply 80% of the *gas to Europe* and what possibly will prevent a total economic/social apocalypse the coming winter. Possibly they also serves as detection buoys for Russian subs that makes them indirectly connected to Putin and the war, and should _NOT_ be run over by villain sailors. I wonder if we will see the day when the Russians cuts these pipes. They recently did that with e- and internet cables from Norway to Svalbard by _"accidentally"_ trawling in the wrong sectors. If not intentionally, that also says something about GLONASS (the Russian satellite navigation system) and why they're losing the war.

Me as well.

.... and within 8 hours after I wrote my comment the totally idiotic Russians blew up the North Stream pipes in the Baltic Sea .... the war went into another dimension ... and I got goose bumps when I realized how spot on I was .... scary

@@SteifWood Well, if you need free gas, now is the time...

@@SteifWood Why would Russians blow up their own pipeline? Ask yourself which country has the most to gain from blowing up this pipeline.

Why is it always the 10mm?

@@itseperkele181 it saw the seven mm "8" the nine mm and new it might be next

@@itseperkele181 most commonly used one.

I just use 1cm sockets for that reason.

Lose a 17 and your world will not come apart, especially if it is a Perkins.

Thank you for that fascinating explanation.

I once refered to the red ensign as the red duster in a royal yacht club bar. Maybe its because I'm a foreigner but I was rebuked by a plummy voiced chap who said "you mean the red ensign". So I guess I crossed the etiquette red line.

@@angusgrant4872 If it was a *rebuke*, that's bad manners on his part.

Members of The Royal Yacht Squadron may apply for a warrant to wear the White Ensign. Snobs and Social Climbers.

Thanks. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos.

so do it! :) do you want to lie on your death bed and think: "man, I wish I would have walked away and sailed back then...." .. I cant do it right now because of family, dogs and stuff but if I could I would immediately.

You're not alone. Same here.

I follow both you and Sam. I particularly like the methodical approach to passage making you both have. I’ve learned a lot from both of you and you inspire me to someday venture on a long passage.

Luckily he didn't delay his passage and fire up his dicky stove as he passed over the Nord 2&1 pipelines..that could have made made for some rather bigger flames and interesting adventures? I agree he does make it look easy.

Right on

He's Phillips Academy, non?

This is it.

Million dollar smile bruh.

Ummm? Think about it. Sails, all the time, videos it and publishes it on U tube ? Its not All fun though.

@@Boatyarddog 👊😄

Same here, just coding all day, but hopefully in a couple years start heading out sailing

Scam reply ...dont answer it..

in 600 feet of water?

Waves and weather buoys?

@@stephenburnage7687 hey water skiers need somewhere to go where they will be apreciated

@@stephenburnage7687 Might be more for the people taking care of those areas than for recreational boaters.

@@stephenburnage7687 If you're fishing, then you don't want to drag your net over a shipwreck and there are plenty in the North Sea
