it's about half 5:00 in the morning got
about 30 knots of wind
we've been dragging
we did something do swing in today which
is where you have the mainsail on one
side annual for sale which in our case
is our light wind so on the other side
yeah
[Music]
so we went down to try and um check the
keel which is damaged saw these fish so
I just got us lunch Silverline in yeah
it kills not as bad as what with the way
you was describing it it sounded awful
it's literally it's a heavy scratch so
we've obviously hit that rock and we
phoned our friends and and Cindy to let
them know there was an obstruction next
one of their friends is there as well
and it turns out they're on the way to
us now we've dive equipment to inspect
the damage it's not much damage actually
good for peace of mind cuz he's an
engineer as well so that's pretty much
exactly what we need
he's our rescuer and these dive
equipment come to save the day or at
least see what's happened
it's all good we did Stoppers Mira
dingus Wayfarers bosons
you've done all the state yeah I'm
that is something that we struggle quite
good it was very foreign to me because I
never never had to deal with that in my
workplace being a bricklayer
it's brought the pieces of the puzzle
together should we say on I knew I knew
our new pieces of electrics and whatnot
but the actual equations and wise stuff
works the way it does I have a better
understand well a better understanding
of ink it's all gonna come back though
papi
yeah come check us out well worth a
visit to their channel subscribe really
really useful information and you get to
see their journey and their little clips
as well really good very helpful for the
lads out there that are going to be
doing the work yeah I'll put the link in
the description it's about half 5:00 in
the morning got about 30 knots of wind
we've been dragging just reset the ankle
and they were dragging again we are
dragging again yeah we're getting really
close to it's going and raise it again
we've got all of our chain out there's
not really anything that we can do yeah
where instead of me is a porter and
we've got 45 meters out normally what is
it 4 2 1 normally I supposed to do 4
meters of chain for everyone meet dad
we are a little bit over which is good
like thank you that's what you've got to
do also the ankle a litte bit dodgy some
funny games bit of a crazy last hour we
we dragged rien curd dragged rien could
do we track three times or two times
dragged again and then we encode in
deeper water cuz I think we're so many
boats anchor in the same place over
there because it's kind of a perfect
depth it's just a little bit loose that
holding so we're in deeper water but we
seem to be holding pretty well now could
be famous last words but yeah not much
sleep but um I've been this catamaran
behind this boat they dragged and hit
that boat last night this catamaran out
here he's just treading water because he
dragged a couple of boats their anchor a
few times so ya expect everyone in here
will be sleeping all day without any
ones that much sleep tonight
this is what just passed over through
the night we're anchored in here
thunderstorms in that one evening I
don't think we got the worst of it so
Ryan when Spearfish yesterday and shot
there and has cooked it and it looks
incredible I'm not huge fish eater but
I'm gonna give it a really good guy it
smells incredible on people coconut milk
with that yeah Oh cut all the head off
in it that's that is literally the
edible part it was massive if you like
it I'll go get some water
tomorrow yeah dude thanks Ryan so I've
just had a shower and used the last of
the fresh water we did have two Big
Eight leaderboards bottles filled with
fresh water that we filled up a random
attack along the way so we put those in
the tank
ryan hasn't had a shower he did one of
oceans hair so he's resourceful tapping
shoes
salt water we have got water maker but
we haven't run it yet it seems really
complicated and we've had those to learn
and we just keep coming up with more and
more excuses as to why we're we're not
using it I think it's time to actually
learn how to use the words Mike Ryan
yeah we need to speak to Dave previous
owner
just get this done but I mean I had a
shower of three days in the book how
much were you used it Bolivian got like
five litres left oh eight litres now
sorry Ryan
well I smell great night if that might
because your hair's so dirty
I'm sure we've said a lot of times
before but people that say oh you live
on a yacht the glamorous lifestyle this
is the reality
well yeah boy we haven't been able to
get water for the last two days we can't
afford to go into route for the last two
days yeah who's been really bad weather
so we haven't actually been able to get
off the boat
[Music]
we need to fill up a fuel pan just been
in a bit of a wild goose chase trying to
find the man to fill up with fuel but we
think we found him so we can get some
and then that means we can actually get
back to the boat without a very it's a
tender when you go to a marina you have
to find a special place like a dinghy
dock where all the dinghy is going so
you're not in the way
[Music]
we're on our fault
we quickly its
Marina and filled up and about possible
you have showers and
huh
people talk about it when they help
again today we're heading southeast
around the island of Menorca beautiful
day very very hot wind is supposed to be
about 15 knots Gustav hopefully will be
quite good sail
the Nature Reserve yeah we're going to
the nature of that
it's likely an island most be really
beautiful
no one looks up now
should be should be cry nice hopefully
we'll see some
cool fish pre-chilled today we've not
got loads and loads of wind but the main
art and the light wind
[Music]
[Music]
honey from the other side
[Music]
yeah you've got as much as you need
[Music]
yeah I've got slack
all right Provenza
[Music]
just wait a minute just wait a minute
iFit we can probably say what was it
seven knots of wind and we're doing
enough not bad
we're doing something called do swing in
today which is where you have the
mainsail on one side annual for sale
which in our case is our light wind sail
on the other side and the wind comes
from behind the boat so the boat sails
catch it like this we're just coming in
now to the Anchorage this is the Nature
Reserve looks really beautiful there's a
lot of shallow bit so we've got to be
quite careful because we don't want to
hit rock again um yeah hopefully we
don't we don't hit one of many stuff
litte bit worried now
can you zoom right in on the chart to
keep an eye on your main focus Ryan
avoid rock those own yeah it's that
island
it's the Nature Reserve I can see some
birds so maybe they're protective birds
