PREGĂTIREA pentru navigația OFFSHORE (Oceanul Pacific)

1. Can you believe this liferaft still went off after 18.5 years! Not bad, but we are feeling SO much more confident with our swish new Crewsaver one.

   Have you ever done a sea survival course before?

2. It sounds like, and I’m truly hoping you haven’t ‘Hydrolocked’ the engine? Water doesn’t compress. I once replaced a diesel engine on my 100ft wooden schooner, which broke after crossing Biscay. We replaced it ourselves with a brand new engine, delivered in a crate from the UK, whilst moored on a pontoon in Camarinas Spain (Super friendly people.) Anyway minutes before we tried to start the new engine… we were contemplating the plumbing, exhaust and shaft cooling when we realised that the adapted system would have caused water to get in and potentially hydrolock the engine and ruin it. It was a close call. We made some changes and the two of us then sailed the ship to Gibraltar, without a hitch. Anyway I hope your issue is less serious than the one we narrowly avoided. Love your channel. Love the welsh name… ‘Teulu… always thought a great name for a boat would be the Welsh word ‘Bodlondeb’ meaning contentment.

3. PLEASE dont use Lithium batteries they are extremely dangerous and give a second before they go up in flames and they burn very hot, if they fail your boat will burn to nothing…. dont fall victim to the Lithium scams these others are telling you. Lithium batteries are deadly, they have killed more then all other makes of batteries combined and then some.

4. Just a question, how much does it cost to go through the Panama Canal, is it dependent on the size of the vessel. Looking forward to your travels in the pacific, you could spend a lifetime travelling the west coast of the north / central and south Americas then all of the Pacific, thank you for taking a land lubber like my self along and showing people another way of living.

5. I don't think I can make it to next Monday to follow along…… 🙂

6. Rule #1. Don’t fix what ain’t broken. 🙁

7. Why aren't you staying in the Caribbean, you haven't done any of the Northern part. How long are you staying in French Polynesia? I feel like you're rushing from place to place , stop and smell the roses 🙂 . Love your Videos .

8. I've watched all your videos several times and I thought it was time to buy you a coffee! Don't get the jitters! You two are killing it!

9. 21:52 Have you flooded the engine and got a hydro lock? 😮

10. Looking at the quick shot of the engine trouble you showed, it looks like the push rod ball was not and has not been seated in the cup of the rocker for some time. Hope you were able to reseat it without it being bent.

11. Well, two life rafts on deck, one old and one new, would have been better than one with one as a potential backup at least. Despite the risk of it not deploying properly. If a mast folds and punctures the new life raft, at least the old one might be serviceable. And two crew in each would have been better than 4 in one for buoyancy considerations, at least initially. Not that I'm suggesting everyone schlep around multiple life rafts or anything. 🙂

12. We are just in Colon and it was a nightmare v Good for you

13. So much excitement!

14. You guys warm my heart❤, week after week…..

15. I hoped you enjoyed your canal transit. I was a engineer officer in the Uk merchant fleet . I hate to think how many transits of the canal I have done. The canal has a a huge history of failure ,disease, and high Mortality. It wasn’t till the American army engineers took on the project that real progress was made. They had the resource to deal with the disease. Mostly mosquito borne . Considering it was opened in. If recall correct 1911. It is an amazing feat of engineering.. No doubt the thought of following a large cargo ship into the locks was a bit daunting , but safe all the same. An interesting point from a ships engineer perspective it actually takes quite a bit of power to navigate through the locks . I mostly sailed on ships that were termed as Panamax so they just fitted in the locks with about 450mm each side . We would navigate through the locks at half ahead or half engine power. Why you ask well we had to displace the water ahead of us down the sides and below the hull. For a ship of this size we would up anchour. At about 5am we would clear the final lock some 12 hours later. Going through the cut I hope you saw the monument to all those who lost their lives building the canal.

16. I'm super excited for you guys! and look forward to watching your crossing the canal.

17. Once you get to Cocolí Locks, that's near where I lived for 4 months at Ft. Clayton while I was a MP in the Army. I hated having to go outside to do PT and getting stung by fire ants that seem to be every where.

18. Good luck on the Pacific adventure you will love it Fair Winds and calm seas !!

19. Great episode. The excitement mixed with extreme nervousness is very obvious. I notice the wearing of Billabong tops and Rip Curl caps has got to help you succeed! Good luck from Tasmania, Australia.

20. Do it, do it, look forward to to reaching New Zealand one day

21. We are preparing to trip to Maspalomas

22. I would be interested in the cost and process to transit the canal. We are hoping to that later this year. You definitely grown in confidence

23. So now you've just become an advertisement for sailing companies.

24. Companies are trying to get product promotions
    So not just sailors advertising plebs.
