- Join us as we attempt to repair our sailing boat whilst at anchor in an 'emergency anchorage'.
***** If you want to get to know us better (and our mission), then be sure to check out our all new website here at www.cluelessyachties.com
Also be sure to check out the legendary 'Buccaneer' and follow along on their epic adventures here: / thisisbuccaneer *****
Last week we set sail for Weymouth but encountered some engine troubles which meant that we had to divert courses, several times, before making an 'emergency stop' in the anchorage of Studland Bay.
Here we tapped into the sailing community hove mind to try and fix the engine of our sail boat, while we were at anchor.
We also explore this amazing little gem of a location and Dominic even turns his hand to spear fishing for the first time.
If you're new to the adventure then welcome to our humble little sailing adventure.

I find I'm always giggling throughout your videos because of the energy between you three and how you dont take yourselves too seriously. I really cant wait until you get everything sorted and head off to the Med.
We take it seriously in moments when it absolutely calls for it, but I think said moments are actually few and far between when you really think about it, well unless you're a brain surgeon, or a pilot, or a builder, perhaps? come to think about it, life is more serious for most than maybe it was (is) for me?! Anyway, for us, most of life is just an interesting ride that we all have to enjoy for as long as we can 😁😁🍻🍻⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures "We take it seriously in moments when it absolutely calls for it"
No suggestion that you dont, in fact quite the opposite. You're both aware when you're out of your depth then act & plan accordingly. Its the putting your hands up, admitting your naivety, laughing at yourselves and being incredibly playful with each other that makes these 'journals' such compelling viewing.
Seriously need another round of Dom verses Hank eating contest though!
Well done on fixing the problem. A couple of ideas for future reference in case it happens again, that I had with my engine and my brother in laws engine are - 1. a blocked exhaust elbow, it was choked with soot. That was preventing water flow out of (and therefore into) my engine. 2. calcification inside the engine - on my brothers boat the engine was sitting for too long without being started and inside the engine had become calcified preventing water flow. We cleared that by learning off youtube and flushing vinegar into the engine to sit and work its magic for 3 hours then flushed it out. Old Harry caves looked very cool.
You know I didn't even think about the exhaust elbow, although may be a winter job taking it off and cleaning it all out?
Old Harry was super awesome up close, when the sea was calm of course 😬
@@CadohaAdventures well in Singapore we don't really have winter :) our two seasons are basically night and day, however I did try cleaning it out, at home, at night, and it was impossible. maybe it requires the right chemical. I simply replaced mine and comparing the two inside I'm happy I gave up trying to clean it. cheers
Another great video, well done. My only comment after using solar showers for years is, we prefer a small 2-3 lt garden sprayer with some hot water out of the kettle 👍
Filling it with a kettle seems like it's give you warm water, although does that not (just a little bit) defeat the point of the 'solar' aspect of the shower? 😁😁
Don't gitme wrong, I can totally get behind burning some fossil fuels to get me a hot shower, but Carly is insisting we try more to save the planet.
Sailing Cadoha absolutely, but it saves waiting 3 or 4 hrs for it to warm up ( you could put the water from the bag in the sprayer). The good bit is that you get a refreshing shower for about 1lt of water. We also found that the bags didn’t last that long, but the sprayer lasted years.
I should fess up, we don’t use the sprayer anymore as our 411 has a shower, but we did use one for about 10 years. Love your work.👍
HA HA HA HA HA HA at 1:50 its like Hank KNOWS he's photogenic and handsome !
Hank is just giving the people more of what we want.
...Another AMAZING episode guys, thankyou
Thanks, and yes, Hank seems to be very self aware 😂
Hi guys , I just wanted to say well done at fixing your engine problems and really enjoying your videos ,thanks 👍
Thanks. Glad you’re enjoying them and yes we were very happy to get going again too 😆
Great video again, loved seeing the sailing community around our own shores rather than the more normal exotic locations here on CZcams. Well done and keep it up.
Hold on a second, Sir, are you downplaying Studland exotic credentials? 😳😁⛵️
A simple and quick way to clear a small blockage in you sea water intake. Use a manual or electric sea water pump and backflush the lines. If you pulled in debris this may push it back out. It may not always work but it cost nothing and it can't hurt to backflow the lines from time to time.
You can also use your electric pumps to provide emergency water to your engen.
Have to say what a great video this one is from Neptune in a wetsuit to almost falling off your own boat not to mention that diving mask. I’ve not laughed so much for ages. Keep the videos turning out safe sailing steve
There's just no hiding our rookie status so we just embrace it 😂
Sailing Cadoha I think showing that your new to sailing is a good thing because if someone is looking into doing the same as you, they can see what it is really like things can and do go wrong with boating and you’re showing ways to go about fixing them. Your also showing no matter what happens you can still have amazing fun and the amazing sailing family that is all around. Keep up the fantastic work you’re both doing I for one can’t wait to see what the next video brings. Stay safe and keep having fun
Loved how happy that fix made you. I live on a wide beam canal boat and I've been there myself. gained a new sub :)
Great job on troubleshooting and repairing! Your video’s always make me smile and bring joy to my heart.
Then for that reason alone, they are worth making 😁
Hope you'er staying safe and well 🙏🏻🤞🍻
Very cool guys. Thanks for taking me along.
Our pleasure! 😁⛵️⛵️
Good on ya, that water looks bloody cold. Water temp here 20deg. Gold Coast. Australia in winter. Great show
It wasn't warm, that's for sure, although yes it is chilly the one plus side is that I didn't even think about getting eaten by a shark when I was in there, although we do have plenty of jelly fish to keep us on or toes here 😬😬😬
For the sun shower, we got a kitchen sink sprayer and a 5 in 1 connector. Take off the dinky red thing and use the connector to a) make the hose longer so easier to use and B) the lever on the kitchen sprayer is easier to control to stop the water when you don't need it. On your last video just remember, those times when things go wrong are merely a great opportunity to learn. Sailing will provide you guys with....... many great opportunities! Just always look at the bright side and things will do just fine.
Thanks for the tips there, Kenneth. I had all but ditched the solar show for the UK 😂😂😂
It's also safe to say that we have learned, a lot so far on this trip! 😳
Hi you three. Finally caught up. Really enjoying your journey; great content, production and humour; and then of course, there is Hank. What a star. Thanks for taking us with you and looking forward to travelling the globe together. ( if you find yourself anywhere near the Cape of Good Hope, I could do with a lift home; Plymouth would be ok. Thanks.)
Well as and when we make it down there, we'll be sure to see if you haven't already got that lift yet 😬
Fantastic vid as ever guys. Sooo funny and engaging! Keep em coming! Please.. x
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you’re keeping well.
Wow, a party!🎉I remember those. I think they were done in the pursuit of fun. 🥳Good video. Thanks!
Yes it was, it felt strange at first, then after the first few drinks, it was like riding a bike 😂🍻🍻🍻
I thought your solution for the engine cooling was inspired, and glad you found a permanent fix. Great that you can laugh at yourselves. We are all goofy some just hide it better than others.
Cheers, Jimmy, and I don't think there's any hiding our 'goof', so we just embrace it instead 😁
So nice to see you two, oh three having fun!
Always! 😁😁⛵️🍻
I know you started off with a stressful situation with the engine, but the biggest takeaway I got from this was how much fun you both had even if it wasn’t quite the passage you originally planned. 😁 I’ve really enjoyed watching you potter about the coast. There are some really lovely places I had no idea existed!
That makes you and us both, we have been blown away by how stunning it is here! 😍
Well played both of you. Happy B'day old man, looking forward to the next one!
Thank you kindly, Saucy Goose, thank you kindly! 🍻
Great video! You were like a kid at Christmas when you fix you cooling problem.
Happy Birthday Dom! Cheers!
Thanks, Chuck and yes, I do get a bit excitable from time to time 😂 🍻🍻
Fantastic...congratulations.
Thank you so much 😀
Nice one, guys. Glad you got the engine water situation sorted out. Good that you get into these situations close to home. The middle of a sea (any sea) is NOT the place to have them happen!
Us too! It's way less scary to know the legends at the coast guard are on hand if we needed it.
Really like following your journey! keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do! 😬
You guys are great to watch.
I'm just happy we're not too hard to watch 😬
Ha great one guys, enjoying the fruits of all the hard work on the boat, exploring and meeting new friends. Great job on the engine. Stay safe. Andy UK
Thanks so much, Andy. Yes we're embracing the lows and enjoying the highs as and when they pop up 😁
Love your videos guys 😁 with all the chaos in the world it’s good to see people still living life to the fullest and having fun 👍👏 great job
Thanks so much, Dave, just taking each day as they come!!
Hope you're well. 🙏🏻🍻
Really enjoy watching your adventures. Happily subscribed here and on Instagram. Wishing you nothing but the best. Thanks for sharing your laughter and happiness with us.
Awesome! Thank you, Barbara, for choosing to spend ten minutes of your time, here and there, hanging out with us 😬😬😬
Good
stuff
:)
Just about did a spit take at 12:20, too funny! My GSP is driving me nuts every time Hank is in a scene, it appears she has a crush on him. Looking forward to seeing you get the sails up.
Ha ha, Hank loves watching the TV when animals are on too! He loves a good Attenborough documentary 😂
This video had me literally crying with laughter.
Wow what a great video.
Cheers, matey 😁
I can warmly recommend the Cubic Mini, excuse the pun😜 I have installed one on our Najad 343, I bl##dy love it. I’m living in Sweden and it makes the boat toasty in all weathers 👍⛵️⚓️
Warren s/y Legend
We're going to need something, and soon! 😂😂
Living the dream!
Trying to 😬🙏🏻
Nice job, happy birthday Dom 🍻🥳
Thank you! 😃
Studland is my go to place when every going east or across the channel. And if the easterly comes in you can always go in to Poole. Great Video as always guys.
It's a truly lovely spot and will be return, that's for sure! ⛵️🍻
Brilliant episode. Really enjoyed that one. Did my eyes play tricks on me or did insert a still of a scary killer clown at one point. 😁 love Hank he is so like our weimaraner we used to have.
Tormund was more the look I was going for, but I can see how killer clown could be a take there, too 😬
Happy birthday, fellow beardy. But god what a laugh at the end. The hairy monster from the deep I think 😂😂😂
Ha ha, I think I successfully scared off any and all fish 😂
LOL that is one weird dog :) love him! EDIT: I typed that before the pre lobster yoga sequence - he is in good company!!
Happy birthday! And by the way, Viszlas are the best! Adorable.
Thanks, Silvia 😬
Hi Dom, I just saw all your videos, congratulations, you are both great people, I love your sense of humor and the way you tell your story. You are similar to a GOT actor: Kristofer Hivju who plays Tormund. I send you a big hug from Argentina.
Ha ha, now that's why I'm growing my hair out, in case 'Tormund' needs a stunt double 😂
@@CadohaAdventures jajaja, Please do not change, it shows you are authentic people, and your dog is fantastic, i have 6 at home!!
@@sergioarraya 6 dogs or 6 Vizslas? either way, that's a real handful you have there 😳😁
@@sergioarraya impossible.. 6 Vizslas in one place would cause a vortex of crazy to open up, swallowing the earth! :o
@@CadohaAdventures 3 labrador and 3 adopted "urban streeters". Your Vizla surprises me because it is quiet but at the same time has a lot of energy, none of mine could sit and eat at the table like Hank does.
Loved it, loved it, loved it gang 🙏.
Happy Birthday Dom,..
You were definitely the comedy element of this episode .. I dof my cap to you😉.
Hank, You are the top dog! ❤️
Ha ha, yeah, m it a laugh at me kinda way 😂😂
Hope you're keeping well 🍻🙏🏻
@@CadohaAdventures 👍 Hope you are still on track with your westward plan..
We're back in the water Thursday, after a quick bottom scub, n suchlike. With any luck, following in your wake nxt week..(Gales, storms n the four Horseman aside 😜)
happy birthday Dom, definitely invest in a good mask, you will need it for your warm water adventures, and scrubbing the boat bottom, the one you have is pooh pooh'd for safety reasons. Your enthusiasm is fantastic, and you could easily have a career as a TV presenter. I wish you fair winds and following seas
Thanks, Tim. Justin took pity on me and kitted me out with his own diving mask, after spending a decent chunk of time laughing at me of course. 😬🍻
Just found your channel. Nice to see my local waters, I'm based in Langstone Harbour. Your boat's a bit bigger than mine, but I am sailing a bit skinter than most. Like how you sorted the cooling issue. Godda love the internet! Good luck and fair winds guys.
Thanks, and I'm sure we are also sailing more skint that most of the yachts out there, but it only adds to the adventure, or so that's what I keep telling myself 😂
Anytime you want to no where Buccaneer is I can tell you. It's under you Buccan hat.
😂
You guys are a riot. Well, I’m not sure if that’s an acceptable term at the moment, but you are. 😂😂😂 I don’t understand why sailboat owners don’t install an emergency flip down bracket to use the outboard dingy motor as an emergency kicker motor. A 15-20hp could get you out of trouble...instead of just sitting on the stern rail. Powerboat owners use them in case of emergency. I had one on our blue water fishing boat to get to an oil rig or... I’ve never had to use mine but others have. Just a thought. Keep up the get work. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I honestly think that's a great idea for the engine mounting bracket and a large outboard! Will look into it this winter! 🍻🍻🍻
Great video, 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed 😁
Powerful mane you have there sir congratulations! Keep up the good work on the channel 👍🏻
Cheers, Chris, I'm gunning for the 'Tormund' from game of thrones look:
www.rottentomatoes.com/guides/game-of-thrones-characters/tormund-giantsbane/
Sailing Cadoha haha good shout.
Aye m8’s, this concept is going to be huge 💪🏽
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you're well 🍻
Well done for resolving the raw water pumping problem. Not that it matters but you do not know which of the two culprits was responsible but the required end result was achieved. It was very optimistic of you to expect the full face mask to seal with the ‘Catweazle’ set!😂
Yes, you're right, looking back on it, I've 'outgrown' the full face mask 😬😂
I have known the impellor to spin around the inner ring. So the shaft is spinning but the impellor doesn't go round, it happened to a friend of mine ,had to tow him in. Be warey of hat one in the future. Well done.
Thanks for the heads up and another good reason to carry a couple of spares I guess 😬😬
@@CadohaAdventures also when you got a spare 10 mins have a look at Racor filters. You dont have to bleed them to change filter , plus other good design features. Martyn
Good Job. Love the solar panel mounts btw, we have the same.
Thanks. Do yours do up tight enough to hold their position when you set the angle or do you use some additional support?
Sailing Cadoha yeah they seem to stay pretty solid but the rail seems to be about midway on the panel. Another set we have on the solar arch we only tilt a snall amoubt for the morning sun
So jealous! I can’t wait for raft ups at anchor next season! Gutted missing all this season I can’t even say haha! That mask is great, I have one the same that I took to Mauritius! 😂🤘🏼 hopefully get a winter trip out in October / November before its refit time! There is a good pub at the top of the cliff which overlooks the bay, they normally have a music festival in the summer too it’s awesome! Another great video guys
Hey, Chris. I think we found that pub, you know, as one does 😂
Was it called the Bankes arms, by any chance?
Sailing Cadoha that’s the one! Yeah their music festival is pretty good in the summer! Pre covid....
Great episode, lots of laughs all around. Also, I was admiring that Kraken art (I think there are 2?).
Ah yes, it's actually the same picture, we were trying to work out where best to put it, but in the bedroom I kept hitting my head on it when I sit up in bed to drink my coffee, so it's in the saloon now.
One of Carlys super talented arty friends made it for us and we love it too 😁😁
Happy Birthday Dominic! I really enjoy your channel, the drama, the moments and of course Hank! :) Nobody can ever know what trials are about to happen around the next corner of life. Carly and you are such an inspiration! Thank you for letting me follow your journey! :)
Thanks for the kind words, Robert. Glad you enjoy the channel enough to spend a few of your precious minutes hanging out with us 😁🙏🏻
I am not the biggest dog person, but Hank is AWESOME.
He's such a cool dude, he's like a little fury person, he even watches TV if there's animals on the screen 😂
For your stove / wood burner consider a faversham stove, designed for yachts and built in the uk. Loving the your channel, the story telling, cinematography is awesome 🤙
I looked into those briefly, we're having issues deciding where it would go. We have a big, beamy boat for a 38ft, but I'm thinking we need to sacrifice the TV perhaps? 😂
😂 Great video guys!! Sometimes life puts us in a spot for a reason...glad you enjoyed your spot and Dominic in the wetsuit was hysterical🤣🤣 Hubby said he looks like “Side Show Bob”😂😂 might be time for a haircut 😜 On another note we had the same issue with our engine on our MV and it turns out it was a clogged through hole… Cleaned it out and the engine worked perfectly !! Much respect and stay safe ❣️❣️ Oh by the way I’m “sweet_miss_sue” on Instagram😊
Ha ha, that's the one! Crusty the clown was being banded about by Justin in that vid, but sideshow Bob is the one! 😂
Yup!! Sideshow Bob!!! 🤣🤣🤣
We used to have a couple of Vizsla "lap dogs". Great dogs. Good luck.
Thank you 🐾🐾🍻
What a great couple of videos, look forward to following your journey 😀
BTW, it looks like you have a hose adaptor in your raw water line, the reduced diameter thro the adaptor makes a HUGE difference to the flow thro the pipe (maybe a reduction of 25%). If you can replace it with a single piece of pipe, you’ll get much a much better flow rate
Cheers, Dave. Yes, that's just how we got the boat, but will be sure to look into that as another one of the (many) winter jobs that seem to be piling up 😂
Can’t remember seeing you post on my group - but glad you got sorted 👍😁
I think I did post again on the Facebook page after we got it sorted, mostly just saying thank you to everyone 🙏🏻🙏🏻⛵️⛵️⛵️🍻
Sailing Cadoha no worries found you on the group and DM’d you 👍
Nice
Thanks 🍻
Time to start writing Sailing Tips 101 so others in your predicaments can quickly look up suggestions on what, when, why and how. Great video, thanks
I don't know if I'd ever have the nerve to make a how to anything when it comes to sailing, more likely a what not to do 😂😂
@@CadohaAdventures "How to" and more likely a "what not to do" are one of the same so someone stuck in the middle of the English channel with rubbish internet connection or no electric power can pick up your book and look for a suggestion or fix. You are not the first and certainly will not be the last that encounters weird and wonderful first time sailors problems or they could watch reruns of MacGyver and fix a water flow problem like you did.
Hello there from USA I am a dual citizen born and dragged up in Portsmouth many years ago. My Wife and I think you three are great. I will be coming over to Ipswich in the very near future to survey a 68 ft pilot cutter for a future restoration. Perhaps you would like to join me ?? Yes Casey I’m buying dinner ha ha
Mate, you look like your best friends called 'Wilson'.
Looks kinda funky though.
Much love from Cornwall
How I haven't got a Wilson ball on board yet is beyond me! It was even my birthday a couple of days back!
Well I think it would have been terrible had you not broke down and had missed out on that 👍👍
It turned out to be quite the happy accident indeed 😁⛵️🍻
What style you have Dominic, I feel you pulled it off
The terrible children mask? 😂😬
@@CadohaAdventures I am surprised you didn't pull out the arm bands and a rubber ring. Maybe time for an upgrade, just saying!!
you were a tiny bit excited.....yea right you jumped right into the freezer...i call it freezer frenzy!!!
Ha ha, it was certainly 'fresh' to say the least , although I was too chuffed to mind in that moment 😂
God job, you carried of that wet suit poirot look with all the style and grace of an Englishman
Well done . And at least you didn’t shoot anybody with the spear gun.
I love watching your posts your right up there with sailing Uma , another must see show
Brilliant.
Super kind of you to say, John. Glad they're not too hard to watch 😂
Hi guys great video, regarding that stove check out mels van world he fitted the same stove to his camper van with all the does and don’ts
Cheers, Paul, will take a look. We still haven't decided how we're going to heat the boat over winter yet 😁
Buccaneer looks like a Ron Berry boat, I wonder if she was a charter boat or a potter in a previous life
I think he said she was a commercial fishing boat originally, I'll ask him next time I see him, or just ask him on Instagram and I imagine he'll let you know 😁
You're right, its a 1972 Ron Berry. It used to be in the potter.
justin taylor I worked on one like her but a bit smaller in 1987
@@MrCrabbing How interesting, I'm sure the guys on Buccaneer would love to speak with you.

So, if you and Hank are family, why is your red hair long & curly and his is short and straight? :) You know if Carly's hair was red also, this channel would REALLY take off!
Hey Dom, I'm sorry buddy but you really need to let Carly cut your hair!
Come on, man, back a brother up here 😳😳😳
@@CadohaAdventures Sorry dude, I would but I can't take you seriously with a ginger fro like that. Besides it would make a great video.

Yeah, it had to happen 😳
Haircut?
I'm gunning for winter work as Tormunds' stunt double.
Studland Bay is one of the nicest quietest and most idyllic anchorages - until someone selfish starts blasting music or puts the telly on for goodness sake. Don't be so selfish - sound carries a long way over water on a still night.
🤭
We spend a lot of time on the waters all around the purbecks and have sailed our boat around the world numerous times. We are now in our 60s. We love young people enjoying the water and exploring the seas.We've spoken to the lovely young couple on Buccaneer, who have created a truly beautiful boat. The time, skill and patience involved to make this happen is something incredible. Though im afraid Lotophagi, this is something you could not do or posses. Here's a suggestion, if you have a problem with something have some integrity and talk face to face with people, Don't hide behind a computer and be petty. Thank you for Sailing Cadoha for a great video and also to your friends of Buccaneer, ourselves and all the boating world love what you have done to that old boat! keep up the great work. Lotophagi - get a life.
@@justintaylor7833 If he anchored next to me and he was playing his TV loud I'd ask him to turn it down. If he wouldn't, I'd try and move. It's irrelevant what he has done to his boat. You know nothing about me - I have a very fine life thank you. I suggest you get some perspective. I'm commenting on a video for goodness sake.
@@lotophagi711 You need to keep your negative uninformed comments to yourself. On any given hot day in Studland you'll find hundreds of boats anchored up, I hope you have the time in the day to get around to everyone. By you calling someone a git without knowing them or making a judgement without witnessing for yourself, says a lot more about you than the people your talking about. I wish you well and lets hope your next comments are positive and educated.
@@justintaylor7833 Yes, but the kids go home in the early evening leaving the bay in peace and quiet (apart from the odd tour boat blasting out disco music). You are correct, I shouldn't have called him a git. I always forget that some people have no sense of humor or proportion.
Hi Dominic be very careful with your full face mask this model is very dangerous you Can lose consciouness try and Google it. Thanx for great videos take Care give Hank a hug for me. Rene
I've ditched it now, the skipper at Buccaneer took pity on me and gave me his 😬😳🍻
