Thanks heaps for tuning in 🙌

Sounds like a great idea , I’ll be doing another trip this year so will def think about doing a video just on this subject , great idea and thanks for sharing 🙌

Shame you won’t be on this next trip but I’m sure we will get a sail together in the future , thanks heaps for tuning in and stay in touch 🙌

Ha ha love it 😂

Thanks heaps for tuning in and sorry for the delay in getting this one out 🙌

Oh wow I didn’t know there was a town too , which part of UK? I wonder if there’s a link ?

It's a town in a county called Cumbria on the border between Scotland and England. It's where the Lake district national park is. The town is named after the joining of two rivers called the Cocker and Derwent. The end of the river Cocker flows into the river Derwent within the town. It's the mouth of the river Cocker hence the name Cockermouth. I'd bet for sure someone from this town named that island. 👍

Just looked the island up on Google maps. All the islands around Cockermouth island are named after towns in Cumbria! 👍

Your welcome and thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a comment , appreciate the support 🙌

They really are , such capable craft , thanks for watching Tom 🙌

Thanks heaps for tuning in again 🙌

One of many and hopefully many more to come ❤️

Thanks heaps for watching 🙌

Thanks for tuning in Paul 🙌

It’s been a busy year but glad to get this last episode and thanks for being patient , have another trip planned this year which I’m gearing up for at the moment Hopefully I never have to use my safety gear Thanks heaps for tuning in 🙌

Damn tasty little treats too , thanks for tuning in 🙌

Thanks heaps Peter 🙌

@@OutbackMike looking forward to reading your book Mike

Absolutely these craft are very special as long as you don’t overload them , very capable so much I was surprised on how well they handled 25 knot winds , do you own one yourself or looking ?

@@markjvairy Looking but leaning more toward a windrider 17. It looks to be more capable and a somewhat drier ride.

Sounds like a good buy and would love a TI myself at some stage , let me know if be keen to see your footage if you do take some , would also love to visit that part of the world

Dude, you'd be welcome to check it out here in the US anytime, though Australia's coasts and islands look as gorgeous as anything this side of the pond, this world has unreal beauty I'll try to take some of lake Mac (largest lake in Nebraska) this summer at some point. All I have is a cell phone for shooting at the moment

I looked at skirts , def interested , what’s the name of the company ?

@@markjvairyI replied with a link. It doesn’t seem to be showing up.

The gear I carry is just under the total recommended weight of this craft of 180 kg , certainly does slow me down but it’s harder for me having to carry extra stuff like Camara gear and dive gear , recommend keep your gear to an absolute minimum

What part of the world are you in ?

Thanks heaps for tuning in all the way from Indonesia

I would Love a TI , I’ll keep saving for the upgrade and maybe in the next year , hard being a diver ,camera man and having to carry everything for two weeks , well atleast I know its limits he he Thanks for tuning in

@@markjvairy The TI can carry more and go faster. I owned a AI and moved up to the TI.... no going back.

Never say never mate , I’m planning on travelling Australia in 12 months so most of the vids will probably be be short one day trips but may sneak in another long one before

Glad you enjoyed it mate and thanks Lee Yes I’m actually scared of all spiders except the jumping spiders , there kinda cool with short legs and no webs Thanks for tuning in

Thanks heaps Les

Thanks heaps Peter

Thanks heaps Pete

Thanks for tuning Rick and great hearing from a fellow minded adventurer I actually use a riffee euro 1300 aswell as a Picasso gun which is almost 25 years old . Recently I’ve just purchased a rabbitech 80cm roller gun which I’m so keen to try out and hunt some barramundi in dirty water with it Have tried rob Allen guns before but really love the riffee personally I’ve seen a lot of stealth crafts and they look awesome , maybe one day I’ll get one myself Not to sure hobie would gift me a kayak although it would be nice and help out , creating these adventures can be expensive with all the gear from cameras to boat to spearing gear but worth every cent ha ha Still trying different haka mods so once I find one I love I’ll def make one for ya Thanks again for tuning in and always love feedback and a general chat

Thankyou

Ha ha those damn crows are buggers hey , so sneaky yet smart , bacon is part of a crows natural diet just like milk lol Thanks for tuning in

Ha ha you read my thoughts and wish I knew but man that person who named the island must of had a bad experience 🤣 with it or a good one 😳

Ha ha maybe I’ll have to sail yours first before we trade he he Thanks for tuning in 😉

@@markjvairy mark, a _tarago_ is a 7 seat van that ive converted into my home. It's very much land based. I did however build my own trimaran from a 7ft kayak, 90mm pvc stormwater pipes, a 2.7m x 25mm curtain rod, and for the sail, I used semi-transparent builders plastic. It was slow, but it sailed and was very very stable (I've got a couple of vids of it on my channel if you're interested). Sadly though, it was stolen. I am now the proud owner of a _national solo_ (solo for short) sailing dinghy. It needs alot of tlc, but it'll be alot quicker than the kayak-trimaran. Eventually, I'll be converting that into a trimaran as well. I can't wait.

Really appreciate that Meric and also hearing comments like that , thankyou

lol 😂 it was suppose to collapse under load , the driver of the boat used the motor , the size of the pin you use determains what load it breaks at

Ha ha you know me too well , do love pushing this craft to the limits , thanks for tuning in and keep your adventures coming

You should be able to find all the information on the hobie adventure island page or google has all the info , thanks for watching and let me know you get the info ok ?

It worked pretty well , still like to use it some more as it’s still under trial , how do you store your anchor ?

Only just got it plastic welded the other day and the guy almost left saying what ever I did sealed it like a glove , I’ll be keeping a couple of buckles for any future cracks that might happen That must of been a sinking feeling loosing your yak off the roof but solid work repairing it

Thanks heaps

Sure is mark , really surprised on what it can do , many adventures to come

Thanks heaps and appreciate it , tight lines 😉

Too right , spend our spare time fixing them ha ha

Appreciate that Peter 🙌

Still yet to get it fixed but will sort it out soon No goats at the islands this year just a couple in the back yard so far ha ha

Did you fix it ok ? What was the cause ?

@@markjvairyI did fix it -sort of. First i have a hot-air plastics welder and i welded the crack as best i could but that is a stressful spot and it took several passes multiple times. Secondly, i installed a deckplate in the cargo deck behind the seat and used that access to wrap the scupper-tube with electrical tape from inside the hull to reinforce it and hopefully minimize the crack's future growth. Thirdly i use scupper corks in the lower end of the scupper hole to keep the water from surging up the tube when sailing. And lastly i use several kayak floatation bags to fill the hull in the event of a reccurence. Now i believe that the water that still finds itself in the hull is largely the result of the forward hatch. Why didn't Hobie use the deckplate hatches like they use amidships and at the stern?? The cause is twofold: like i said 1) that is a stressful spot especially when 2) the weight of the AI is concentrated on the lower end of the tube when using the cart. I remedied that somewhat by removing those 2 black plastic donuts on the cart uprights and replacing them with an aftermarket cradle (looks like 'uUu' in cross-section). The cradle was made for the tandem AI so i had to re-form it a bit with a hot-air gun to fit the shape/dimensions of my single-place AI. Additionally i do not leave the craft on the cart any more than is necessary, like during winter storage. I had another crack on one of my amas right in the aka hole. that made it inaccessible for welding so i fixed that by filling both of the amas with 2part urethane foam. Now i don't have to worry about them leaking. Overall, I guess I'd have to say that, for what these things sell for these days, Hobie could do with a bit of reinforcement improvements in high stress locations and fewer cost-cutting measures like the switch from the all-aluminum aka hinges to the plastic ones. I watched one of the new hinges self-destruct in calm conditions on its maiden voyage!

Did you fix yours? What caused it ?
