Gas leaks & thermal cookers – Ep. 75
We discover that Salty Lass is a floating bomb as we have a leak in our butane gas system. Very luckily for us, the leak is in the best possible place. So, once we stop tossing our butane overboard, we look at ways to use less of it using Mr D's thermal cooker - and Prudence interferes as usua...
Worse heating, better insualtion – Ep. 74
So many points were raised after our last video that we have done an out-of-sequence realtime one to address the points raised. And our heating system fails... in January! ----- Music ----- Back in the city - the 126ers Youtube Audio Library
Heating and Insulation – Ep. 73
With the colder weather drawing in, we add more insulation to Salty Lass and overhaul the heating system. ----- Music ----- The 126ers - Back in the city Youtube Audio Library
Sail cover repair – canvas work – Ep. 72
The foot of our sail cover falls to pieces and, since they have to be custom made, we decide we can do it ourselves with only a domestic sewing machine, a sailor's palm and ultra-violent thread. And yes... that IS ultra-violent :-) :-)
A bookcase for pilot guides and navigation – Ep. 71
We build a much needed bookcase to hold all our Pilot Guides and Cruising Guides as well as DVDs and reading books. ----- Music ----- Back in the city - The 126ers Youtube Audio Library
Southport 2018 – 24 hour race – Ep. 70
We attend the annual 24 hour race on Southport lake. For a change we are doing the cooking rather than running a boat (as in the previous two years). It started very mild and ended up very gusty with Beverely capsizing on her last lap and winding up in the lake, too cold to continue. ----- Music -...
We’re Back – Boat Projects – Ep. 69
We're back in Liverpool and we have boat projects to get on with. After our Irish Sea adventure, we now have a long list of projects that we need to complete to convert Salty Lass from a comfortable weekender to a comfortable cruiser. We also take part in local sailing events as well as specta...
Lessons learned whilst sailing – Chicken rock, Isle of Man – Ep. 68
We reflect on the lessons learned from our passage around Chicken Rock and the bottom of the Isle of Man, but sadly our cruise around the Irish Sea was coming to an end. We also discuss how to "build your own riser" if you have to moor up to a harbour wall that lacks risers. ----- Musi...
In trouble again – Isle of Man – Ep. 67
We leave Peel, Isle of man, for a short passage to Port St Mary and we go on a lovely calm day. Unfortunately the weather soon turns and we make the mistake of pressing on when we should probably have turned back to Peel. Big thanks to Isle of Man Diving Charters who came to see we were OK and assi...
Queenies in Peel – Isle of Man – Ep. 66
We get weather-bound for a few days in the Isle of Man, so Gaynor goes off in search of the local seafood whilst Beverley keeps an eye on the weather. Eventually, we learn the hazards of tying up to fishing boats (obvious in retrospect, but there you are......) Website: Instagram: Facebook: ...
Sailing For The Disabled – Ep. 65
While in the Isle of Man, we took the opportunity to go out with Sailing for the Disabled. It was a fantastic experience and gave kids from the Isle of Man time at sea gave us the opportunity to be involved in a great project as well as helming a 48ft Beneteau. It was humbling to be trusted with the...
Stripping, Rolling & Booming – Bangor to Peel – Ep. 64
We sail from Bangor to Peel via Donaghadee Sound and dodging plenty of lobster pots, but rollers from recent storms persisted and, combined with light winds, exposed a weakness in our sail plan. Once in Peel, Beverley demonstrated just how many layers of clothing are needed in UK waters... Peeling ...
Bring Out Another Thousand – Boat Projects in Bangor – Ep.63
Boat projects take up a lot of our time in Bangor, but we find time to uncover an astounding fact about this quiet little town on the edge of Belfast Lough Website: Instagram: Facebook: ----- Music ----- The Happy Song - Nicolai Heidlas Royalty Free Music from HookSounds ----- Doclking ...
Bangor, Belfast and the Titanic – Ep. 62
Bangor, Belfast and the Titanic - We leave Ardglass to go north to Bangor via the Copelands and Donaghadee Sound (which we transited in darkness so no video alas) and into Bangor Marina. We decided to take the train into Belfast and do a tour of the place, starting with the Titanic. Website: I...
Splicing rope – 3 braid nylon – a SYSL Extra
This SYSL Extra shows Gaynor doing a splice on 3 braid nylon rope for our kedge anchor. The key is getting the first three loops through the standing part and then simply repeating the procedure until the required number of splices are done. If you do not have a Hollow Fid then acquire one. They ar...
Sailing from Carlingford to Ardglass – Ep. 61
We sail from Carlingford to Ardglass which means we have to cross Greenore Point - an area notorious for tidal streams, breakers and rough seas. Since the boat next to us in the marina got badly damaged transiting the Point, we are a bit nervous before setting off... ----- Music ----- Galway Kev...
Fuji Tough Camera Test – SYSL Extra
We tested our Fujifilm XP130 "Tough camera" by dunking it into the marina water. It seems to have survived. We saw a number of common jellyfish and small fry ----- Music ----- After All - Geographer Youtube Audio Library
North to Carlingford Lough – Ep. 60
Carlingford Lough was our destination, but we had to wait for a weather window so we did a few tasks aboard before setting off. It was a cold run so we rewarded ourselves with an excellent curry in the Sitar Curry house. A marina with a first rate curry house and a 100 year old boat made from cemen...
Rule of Twelfths – using it to avoid going aground – Ep 59
The "Rule of Twelfths" is a rule-of-thumb that we use frequently to decide if a location is safe to anchor or if a passage is safe to do. It only takes a few minutes and does not need tidal curves or templates. All you need is the tidal range and High Water height. We use the Rule to deci...
Rope caught in propeller and a trip to Dublin – Ep. 58
Having a rope caught in our propeller means that all our plans had to be rethought. In the end, Howth Yacht Club's diver did the job quickly and efficiently and he was a fabulous guy to talk to - coffee and biscuits took a lot longer than removing the rope. So instead, we took a trip to Dublin...
Rescued at Sea – Ep. 57
An eventful stay at Howth and Ireland's Eye with Bev being sent up the mast to sort out some hoists and then Salty Lass gets into a bit of difficulty. ----- Just Giving ----- Please support the RNLI and donate something via our Just Giving page (link below). If you do not want to donate th...
Sailing to Ireland – Ep. 56
We hop from Port Dinorwic to Caernarfon and then across the infamous Caernarfon Bar to Ireland which was hiding in the most spectacular sunset. Top tip: Always get LOCAL KNOWLEDGE and never, ever cross Caernarfon Bar without talking to the Caernarfon Harbour master![[55] – Navigating The Swellies – Menai Strait – North Wales](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/334XGBnMpS4/mqdefault.webp)
[55] – Navigating The Swellies – Menai Strait – North Wales
We have to navigate the notorious Swellies in the Menai Strait which is noted for the difficulty in navigating it. It has shoals, rocks, surges and (occasionally) whirlpools and planning your passage through it requires careful study of all the pilotage marks that have been installed over the years....![[54] – Stormy Weather](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/wH4MD1pRhwA/mqdefault.webp)
