After sailing to this amazing anchorage I dived into the crystal clear water and caught a giant lobster (well, giant compared to what I usually catch) and then got to explore the most amazing 18th century town that is the amazing port of 'Charlestown'.
For everyone messaging me and asking about my under-water breathing equipment, this is the system we're using here: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM
Now let me say a few things before you run off and buy one. Firstly I have nothing to compare it to other than free-diving. I've never scuba dived before in my life and I've never used another hookah before. I did do a lot of due diligence when it comes to understanding the dangers of breathing compressed air under the water. In short, these things are dangerous and not to be taken lightly. If you think this is something you'd be interested in then please do speak to a diving expert (I've had the good fortune to learn from several, in terms of theory, as well as my own continued reading).
We really enjoy this electronic hookah as it's small, lightweight and seemed (to us) perfect for the little space we had on the boat, where dive tanks and a compressor just wouldn't fit, as well as add a lot of additional weight.
If you use the above link and you do buy one too then we will get a small kick back which will go towards Hanks treat jar, it's the same price regardless of if you go to the company directly, but I know some people feel a certain kind of way about us getting any kind of kick backs, so if that's you then just google 'air buddy dive system' and go to the site directly, again the price is the same regardless, but I'd like you to feel good about how you got there, so, there you have it.
What else can I say? We bought the system directly from the company in Australia. We bought it ourselves and paid full price for it. We saw a 'distributer' in the UK, but they wanted close to double the price and had similar wait times to simply ordering direct from Australia, so that's why we went direct and just paid some import taxes, which still worked out much cheaper than the UK distributer. The team at Air Buddy have also been amazing on the other end of my emails and questions, for us it's been a very positive after sales service.
Again I've never tried any other products so I am in no way qualified to give any advice other than say that we use this most days and have been enjoying it, we've used it to check on the anchor, clean under the boat mid-season, explore some amazing reefs and do a spot of foraging too. We get close to an hour under the water on my own or about 50 minutes when Carly is attached to it too.
I hope that's answered most of the questions which have come my way but if you have any more then again please do just ask and I'll do my best to answer them from my own anecdotal experience.
These are the only ones that feel like they end after five minutes! There’s just never enough of your videos and this one was really special to me because of the Shackleton story and it’s relation there. You’re a wonderful Storyteller, it makes time just fly…….❤
I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I hope I managed to do some justice to the sheer gravity of the Shackleton story in such a short space of time.
😊🙏🏼
Hey fellows, great to hear and see the incredible story of Shackleton. When I read the book about this journey, I named my ship ENDURANCE and the dinghy DUDLEY DOCKER, all in honor of Sir Ernest Shackleton! Greetings from Holland
Very cool! 🙏🏻⛵️
Now my friends, you have put an important pin on my map of places to visit. A pub with 500 sorts of rum I’d say, should be a pilgrimage spot ☝🏽
The entire town is a much see. So much history everywhere you turn 🙏🏼😊
Yet another brilliantly produced episode. Thank you to you both and to Hank for the walking guides😉
I follow many a sailing channel where most travel the world, but yours shows we have so much to offer here in Britain, which many never get to explore from a sailors perspective.
Fair winds, calm anchorages and my the weather be forever in your favour.x
Your videos are so unique and are for sure standing out when compared with other channels.. The subject and its narration makes it so special. Job well done..
Thank you, Sir. Always happy to see you're still chasing to hang out with us and enjoying the adventures ☺️
I know Charlestown well and once we get our new to us boat in the water next spring, we plan a trip down the South Coast towards the West Country and I intend to use your website as my travel guide when looking for amazing anchorages. Keep the videos coming, Im looking for inspiration.
You two are so fortunate a fantastic time to have each other and share this wonderful life.
We are indeed incredibly fortunate in so many ways ☺️🙏🏻
A fine tribute to Ernest Shackleton. In the face of extreme adversity he brought his crew home. That's what I call leadership.
one in a million for sure.
You three can really make every story so interesting! I have heard Shackleston's story before but your video excerpts were new to me and added so much to making that story come alive. I read somewhere that eating ice cream stifles your heroism! Anyway that's the excuse I'm using.
Well filmed, interesting, very well described-not over narrated, colourful and entertaining.Thank you
It’s our please, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼😊
A gem of a place. Lovely episode…a great challenge to capture the essence of the Endurance story so well in a short interlude.
You really do have to dedicate hours to do the story it's full justice but I certainly hoped to get across just how mammoth a situation that really was.
always have loved shakeltons story, but as an Irishman its always been through the eyes of tom creen. Has always been an inspiration for me and Ive often wondered why there isn't a movie about it all
I think there’s a very old movie about it, but certainly feels like a more modern telling of the story is in order.
hah! I used to go to the school up the top of that road. Hank's walk was our cross country running course. We regularly used to jump and fish off from that quay :D
What an awesome place to have on your doorstep growing up! 😍
beautifully done episode. Really enjoyed hearing the Shackleton story.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and I hope I managed to capture at least the essence of just how remarkable their story was. 🙏🏼😊
Following seas, fair winds and gobs of blessings and joy in your adventures, Cadoha Sailors!
Thank you very much, Good Sir 🙏🏼😊
New to the channel, long time viewer of the Tube - 10/10 production value - and if this American is allowed to say - Spectacular. Channel really stands out, great work. . . One day I will join the ranks of the monohull clan.

Hello there from a cross the pond, glad you enjoyed the video and happy to have you with us 😊🙏🏼⛵️
The three of you always make my day thanks.
Glad to hear it! 😊🙏🏼
Yes! More lobbys! Love it! Well done ✅✅
Always enjoy a good lobster hunt 😊🙏🏼🦞🦞🦞
A few years ago the Sydney Maritime Museum (Aus) had a major display on that Shackleton Expedition. Having read several books on the expedition and rescue, it was very emotional to actually touch the boat they sailed. Incredible people. Yes, a different breed!
The story is so amazing that it would take much more than my quick segment to fully capture the magnitude of what they went through.
Hey guys! It's us! The ones you saw at QAB marina on Moonshadow, remember us?
Of course, the up and coming CZcams super stars 👌🏼
Yep! That's us!
Saw some recent pics of the Endurance where it lays on the bottom still in surprisingly good shape can still see name clearly on transom well preserved in those waters
Your adventures never stop amazing me. Is all of England really that beautiful or do you just have a groovy eye?
It’s a beautiful kingdom indeed. Like any great nation there are a few spots which aren’t quite as spectacular looking but it’s not hard to find many remarkable destinations to visit. 🙏🏼😊
It’s so interesting to see all these places! And didn’t Hank look smart in his coat!
Hi Dom - Brilliant video as always. Can I ask please, what is the large flexible solar panel I often see you get out on your foredeck?
We were fishing off the rocks at nerrabilly last year and managed to get a 10 inch stauner i had it in my hand but it managed to wriggle out !!
Hi , magical all the way .🐶👍 👍👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 😊🙏🏼
'kinell, I didn't know *that* Shackelton story! I thought I knew all about him
A truly remarkable human 👌🏼
Lovely watching your videos guys, thank you. Good to see Hank back to his old self ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it and we're happy to see Hank bounce back too ☺️
Love your show....😎😎😎
Glad that’s the case 😊🙏🏼
Glad that’s the case 😊🙏🏼
Hey Dom- nice Blue Sunglasses- can you share a link that I can order a pair for my sailing adventures? Cheers!
I think I just bought them from an outdoors shop, Trespass I think? I just was literally just asking past and shop and needed some new polarising sunglasses and saw these.
I see your friends the Rashlieghs on five go sailing are also mentioned in the museum
It's lovely to see a community still hold where they came from in such high regards, especially given how trendy it's become in recent years to try and remove historical figures from modern society. 🙏🏻☺️
I read Shackletons book last year as I walked from Seville to Santiago. If I was feeling a bit low the book always made me realise I Had nothing to moan about.
That story can certainly put a lot of bad days into some kind of helpful perspective I imagine 😊🙏🏼
The glass on the stove can be cleaned with ash and water.
Hey Dominic perhaps a metal detector could answer your question and perhaps panning of similar beaches could possibly provide an unforeseen income
That wouldn’t be the first time I wanted a metal detector this year. Perhaps that’s one for the Christmas list 🙏🏼😊
The filming gets better and better. A good friend had his grandpa on the Endurance. He told me their fear was not knowing if their leader got to land. Bloody brave people and outstanding skipper. Dom, just a suggestion, but work on your ´fade to black' at the end of your vlogs. Thanks for all you do🙏🏽👍
I will do my best to look into that. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Looks like the lobster has eggs under it...CAN'T keepit, if it does.
It was laden with eggs and you’re right they have to be put back 👌🏼
how much would a boat without anything you'd added of that size cost?
It depends on so many factors, age, make, model etc. From £10k-£200k?
You could likely find lots that are similar spec to ours originally, age, model etc for 25-40k?
Amazing, thank you very much for getting back. One final question if you have the time! Can you recommend any sites or places that have good value for money boats?@@CadohaAdventures
Two of the team that made it to the whaling station were Irish, naturally....Shackleton and Tom Cream from Kerry. Just saying..
I don’t think many will deny the toughness of the old school Irish folk 👌🏼💪🏻
Us modern guys not too bad either.!
Love your channel and fascinated by your lobstering. Going to try it from my humble Leisure 23.
Safe sailing and fair winds.
BTW if you guys make it to West Cork, between Glandore and Baltimore, I'll treat you to a pint of the black stuff!
WOW
That’s exactly what we thought when we got here 👌🏼😊
Hi guys
Is it legal to go spear fishing or getting lobster with that electric breathing rig. As far as I’m aware it’s illegal to do it with scuba gear?
It depends where you are. Here on the south coast of the UK it's illegal to spearfish whilst scuba diving but you're allowed to forage shell fish and crustaceans.
Well done! Really! :¬) Webhead USA
No problem, happy to hear you enjoyed coming along for the ride.
Not another lobster video!!! ((
Non of the videos are ‘just lobster videos’ they’re always packed full of much more.
But I do love lobster hunting, clearly. Eating meat is how I stay strong 😬🫣😂
Did you photoshop the bottom of the lobster cause it was a pregnant female?
It’s not photoshopped it was a pregnant female and those eggs were real.
Stop catching lobsters and stop encouraging others to catch them too. Haven't you seen they're disappearing! You are contributing to their disappearance.😢
I’m actually a conservationist and a hunter. The reality is that the impact from foragers is almost zero in the grand scheme of lobster hunting.
The great thing about lobster fishing, as opposed to almost every other type of commercial fishing is that they keep them alive right up to the point of sale, so you’re very much able to buy live ones from the commercial guys and put them back if you feel that strongly about it though 👌🏼
