We’re Sinking! Carl and Jenny’s Emergency at Sea
Sailing enthusiasts, Carl and Jenny from the popular YouTube channel Carl and Jenny, recently found themselves facing a maritime nightmare while out at sea. Their sailboat was hit with an unexpected issue – a blocked toilet that began to overflow, quickly filling up their boat with water.
Discovery of the Issue and Immediate Actions
After noticing the issue, they swiftly began addressing it. We’ve just been trying to do the toilet because it’s got a blockage, Carl explained as he started removing water from the boat to make room for possible repairs. Despite their best efforts and the removal of some water, a significant problem remained unresolved.
The Search for a Solution
Faced with potential disaster, Carl and Jenny attempted various solutions. Putting new pipe on the toilet, was one strategy, suggesting they hoped to fix the issue at its source to prevent further water intake into their vessel.
The Unexpected Flood
Yet, even as they worked on the toilet issue, an additional problem arose. They managed to put a buoy in, but it became clear that their sailboat was taking on more water than they could bail out or pump off quickly enough. With water continuing to pour into their boat, worry set in. What do we do now? Jenny pondered, the looming possibility of the boat sinking weighing heavily.
Reflecting on the Experience and Lessons Learned
This ordeal highlights the importance of being prepared for emergencies while out at sea. The couple’s quick thinking, immediate actions to remove water, and attempt at a direct fix (changing the toilet pipe) were commendable but underscore the value of preemptive maintenance and having an emergency action plan ready.
Preventing Future Sinking Incidents
To avoid such crises in the future, sailboat owners and adventurers alike are advised to regularly inspect all water-intake systems, especially toilets and related pipelines for any signs of blockages or leaks. Maintaining a well-stocked emergency kit with tools for bailing out or pumping off excess water can also be crucial.
The Final Thoughts
Carl and Jenny’s experience with their sinking sailboat is a stark reminder of the importance of staying prepared for emergencies on the water. While it may be an unsettling watch, learning from such stories can equip future sailors with essential skills and knowledge to prevent or manage similar situations effectively.

Carl and Jenny
Hi and welcome to Carl and Jenny Sailing Adventures. We are a married couple from England. In November 2017 we changed our regular lifestyle for a life upon the waves. We sold up almost everything we owned and bought our live aboard yacht, a Bavaria 47 named “DREAM”. We are breaking free of the traditional lifestyle, and creating a sustainable life cruising around the seas, perhaps the world one day. If you are thinking/hoping of doing something similar in the future subscribe and follow our channel. Let us make the mistakes so you don’t have to. Watch our earlier videos as we go through training, theory and practical and some of our day to day adventures. Follow our boat buying process and the issues that can have. We bring you regular videos and occasionally put out live chats where you can become involved. Thank you for taking time to check us out. We hope you become one of our subscribers. Carl & Jenny
