Great drone shots. They have my seal of approval.😉 Are you still 10 days behind schedule - or are you languishing at anchor and enjoying yourselves,😀👍⛵️

An other good informative and entertaining video. Looking forward to the next.

Hi from Toronto Ontario Canada. Enjoyable as usual.

Love the drone and especially the music 👍. Welcome to 🇬🇷

Cheers mate 👍

Good video! 7/28/24

For me, the flasing lights are just ennoying to me. If its realy dangerous, I put the deck light on. Its just a personal reason. Cu guys🇬🇷

Great explanation and video guy!

Probably a bit late, now, but a dog probably got your missing shoe! I've lost a few that way!

Strove is either a common misspelling or a manufacturer. As for the use of strobe lights on a boat it could potentially cause confusion among other boaters. A quick scan through boating forums reveals all manner of gripes about people using flashing lights. Solar lights are next to useless and can't bee seen at a distance. The biggest issue with flashing lights is that they can be confused with navigation lights which could potentially put people at great risk. The use of red and blue flashing lights may also be illegal on any vessel that is not engaged in emergency services. (Alaska DNR Section 05.25.010.) The US coast guard prohibits the use of flashing lights or revolving lights as well, except where expressly allowed by law. Air cushioned vessels display flashing yellow lights. In short, your best option is to illuminate the vessel with while lights so that it will stand out in the dark.

I hope you get your water maker working soon. I have not come across else lights, but interesting light. Take care and have a wonderful day

Great video, we are based in greece and have heard stories of boats leaving turkey for greece as prices are so high. Whats your experience

My view is that these lights should be banned. They are confusing and i dont think comply with the collision regs. A number of light of all colours flashing all over spoil an anchorage. And people use them when tied up to dock. 😊

Is the dealer who sold you the incorrect chemical the same as the dealer who is now blanking you? I am guessing your total running hours do not square with the issues you have experienced? Anchoring in busy coastal areas: Personally - anything goes as far as making your boat visible to others - always difficult especially against dense lights ashore. I also have a portable battery driven LED string that I deploy along the rails of the Bimini when chartering - makes it easier to identify the right boat to return to in a busy anchorage.Not a fan of the flashing lights.😉👍⛵️

The channel Sailing Joco had no end of problems with their modular watermaker. I’m Sue you will do a lot of research before choosing another water maker 👍

I'd suggest they shouldn't be used as they're confusing to other mariners, an anchor light is a legal requitement and satisfies COLREG's for insurance perposes, Non flashing deck lights are a good indication as they create a sillouette of the hull.

I wish they’d put some sort of light on lobster pot marker’s, so not a bad idea but I can’t see fisherman paying out for them.

Is that a ZF gearbox I see? I spent $1500 on parts and labor trying to rebuild my Hurth HBW-250 (ZF-25) only for it to be a failure and have to shell out another $3250 for a brand new ZF

Nice video as always. Beautiful surroundings. Castle, always nice to see. Fair winds to you ⛵⛵⛵

❤

Water in fuel

All caught up! I hope this finds you well! 👍👍

I always enjoy the variety of content on this channel.

I enjoyed this thanks. Point of order though. Hotel welcomes yachts-people not yachtsmen 😅

Very nice!

congrats to 10k😀

Careful mate people will begin to think I have turned veggie 😂

I love the patina of coppercoat.

How's the compressor holding up a year later? Did the belt break ? Is the belt a weak part ? Regards Paul

Nothing beats going to windward in calm seas in light winds!! Wind in your face on a balmy day.

It was so sad to see the weekly market so empty of customers. 😢

🤣

Even you British find the prices high, its much worse for us, btw nice video but you need improve microphone quality, thanks

Great video and information, and like you shared what you have gone through and still at it. 56 and looking to get our 1st owned family SV. Cheers and good winds from Ventura Ca…

Thank you for a great video. Prompted by your example we finished a very similar LFP upgrade two months ago using 2 x 300Ah SFK batteries, 2 x Victron Orion XS DC2DC chargers, and a 120Ah alternator with a Balmar MC-614 regular. The two Orion XS produce very little heat and do not require a fan at 45A ea. However the alternator was running very hot, over 100degC, at 1000 to 1300 engine RPM while trying to produce ~75A. It took a considerable amount of tweaking but by setting one Orion to shutdown at 13.6V, adjusting the Balmar Belt Load Manager to 65% max field and setting the float voltage to the absorption voltage, the alternator stays just under 100degC over the entire RPM range. It seems all configurations will produce different results. I would keep a eye on the full load alternator temperature at low/moderate RPMs. I think I would like to upgrade to the Arco Zeus regular as is seems more intuitive and has a straight forward Bluetooth. Hower both the Zeus and WS500 require one or two more shunt(s) then my current configuration. Not sure which configuration will be more reliable.

We were hit by a small shrimp boat in the Ambracian Gulf. He could not see our mast light. The following morning when we spoke to the local fishermen, including the guy who hit us, they implied one of these types light was mandatory in the bay at Menidi.... and it should be flashing to distinguish it from the town lights in their background. Second case... our friend had a stern anchor out against the swell. A late commer to the anchorage (in low light) didn't realise, ran over the anchor rode, fouled his prop and was subsequently washed aground. Since then my friend and we mark the stern anchor with one of these a lights.

Nice video. About the lights, I personally Don't like the flickering ones. For me it's annoying. Remembers me of war time. Seeing a flash, is not a good thing. A steady light on the bow or whatever, doesn't bother me. You can see the vessel, that's the whole point. Cu guys. Sail safe 🇬🇷⚓⛵⚓

Great music choices mate 👍

Lovely entertaining video, except a quick leave for you guys of course. Maybe swimming in the brown water can give a quick tint on the skin 🤮. Cu guys. Fair winds to you. Etanche crew 🇬🇷

Q: Can you fill up your diving tank with the hookah as well? Btw: we use speed boat antifouling on our prop. It's not bad at all.

Perfect for bottom of the pool maintenance. One thing - I STRONGLY advise against using these worm clamps when attaching things to your airline. Worm clamps loosen over time, which is decidedly undesirable for an underwater breathing apparatus. Single ear clamps (technically they are called "oetiker" clamps are far more secure and have the added advantage of no sharp edges, unlike worm clamps.

Never refueled at Fethiye because it always looked too tight... You made it look so easy.

Hi Guys. Apartfrom the thePoo which I avoided looking at-swam amongst toomuch of that in Spain in the 1960's lol. Great video, and I must complement you on your inboard Diesel Engine, which really is sounding absolutely Terrific. My Very Best Wishes. Bob. zstillLandlocked in Wales, though starting to recover pretty darned well now tbh, despite a bit of heart still working at low capacity I need to get to the Caribbean to start swimming again imho. zstill, all in good time. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

Crazy small cruisers need to pump out (what is normal in my opinion) but big boats can just dump their black water. Entertaining video like always.

You should stop by firnaz bay in Kalkan absolutely incredible

Such a great video, you explain it all so clearly and with such knowledge, thank you for the effort you have put in to the detail. About to do this so this helps so much! Love Sailing Sunday too, fantastic couple, Ryan is always funny and entertaining, love his enthusiasm.

Looks awesome guys, very jealous 😉🥰

Hi 😂guys.Gret News on the Opticia. Sad news on poorpropantifoul psrformznce ? Cheap silution for Prop Antifoul has been used by USA Commercial Fishermen for over adecade now is -97%ColdGavanising Paint 3 costs of which appsrently does two years easy. I think as it akso works aaa anode,the elecrical effwct keeps rgw paint surface erosing in a kind ofself cleaning effect ? may also be woerg slapping a few coats o expensive Anodes to makecthem last longer. Admission I haven't managed to test this yet, but as I pull out anbually anyway, I fully intend to on my next Sailboat, so will be able to report on how it performs. Cost insight - a litre tin of 97% Cold Galvanising Paint on UKAmazon, was about £24 a couple of years ago. One tin shpuld be enough to painy the Prop and all the Anodes roughly ? Best Wishes. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

...What happened to the debate about the floaty-flashy-fishynet-light?
