Critical Engine Failure - Left Stranded : Ep 8
Sailing Cadoha
CArly, DOm & HAnk make up the crew of Cadoha. We're challenging ourselves to a new life on the water, exploring and showing off some of the best-kept secrets along our home shores. We're slowly building out our blue water sailing boat to be a comfortable liveaboard boat, capable of expended periods of time off of the grid, with a mix of modern technology and old. Follow our adventures as we learn to find, forage and catch our own food, whilst learning to sail our floating home to so many stunning destinations. We make friends all along the coastline, who we learn and grow from, in our quest for ultimate freedom! The world has never felt so fragile to us as it has these past couple of years, so come and join us as we prepare this vessel and ourselves to be ready for anything!

In this episode our 35 year old sailing yacht experiences a critical engine failure which leaves us stranded and unable to proceed unless we can fix the problem.
The engine is essential to make our way through the locks system on the Caledonian canal. Even with super experienced sailors on board, sailing through the locks wasn’t an option.
*******SPOILER ALERT*******
If you haven’t watched the video yet and don’t want to ruin what you see, then perhaps come back to read this after.
The Volvo Penta Starter motor on our sailing boat basically self destructed. We got a quote from a Volvo Penta specialist which came to an astonishing £480!!!
After much shopping around we managed to find cheaper aftermarket starter motors for a fraction of the price, the cheapest one we managed to find (£72!!!) was this one here: https://amzn.to/2DXHRO5
Now several people said that a Volvo Penta original part would be better, and if we buy cheap, be prepared to buy twice. Given that we could buy nearly seven after market starter motors for the price of one original, we were more than happy with the possibility of having to buy twice.
Given the the possibility of saving time, however, we managed to find an aftermarket starter motor for just under £100, that was within walking distance of where our yacht was currently stranded, so we were happy to pay the extra £25 and save a few days on the part being delivered.

We Almost Threw These Away… Now Look
We almost didn’t bother with these. Late in the season, we collected a handful of fallen acorns from the forest floor—fully expecting most of them to fail. Everything we’d read (and been told) suggested they wouldn’t sprout this late. So we nearl...
Could We Actually Live Like This?
We headed into our woodland to cook a proper Dutch oven pizza over the fire… but this trip turned into something a bit more special. It was Hudson’s 2nd birthday, so we decided to celebrate it the only way that makes sense for us — deep in the fores...
I Nearly Lost My Finger | Some Good News, Some Bad
This week I had a close call with a log splitter and nearly lost my finger while working in our woodland. I’ll show the injury later in the video for those who are morbidly curious. After that scare, the week took an unexpected turn. My wife found an a...

Carly Had a Great Idea… and It Might Actually Work
This video started with a simple idea from Carly — using what we already have around us in the woodland to create something genuinely useful. We won’t say what it is at the start, because half the fun was working it out as we went along… but by the ...
