Family Lives OFF-GRID in Remote Places.

- Thanks to some amazing modifications we've made to our boat we can now fully enjoy some of the more remote anchorages in total comfort, where they may have previously been not so comfortable.
Living off-grid is something we strive to get closer and closer to each year as we go out and test the off-grid systems we've installed the previous winter and then go back and make more adjustments off of the back of how we got on that year.
This year one of the major parts of the off-grid living puzzle came into all it's glory in this stunning anchorage.
It was good to see the star of the show Hank recovered quickly!
alli can say is: its good that ppl keep thinking like that about anchorages. the fewer the better i would say!
I would totally agree that the best anchorages would be when no one else is there
Glad Hank picked up (drama queen!) you can be justifiably proud of how you anchored your boat and modified her to make the anchorage so much more pleasant to stay in - as the saying goes - any fool can be uncomfortable!
Haha, we are also fans of dropping the hook and quite like to use the satellite view to choose a sandy spot! That expression on your face when you said you might have SHARE the anchorage is one we (Edd and Charly) know well too. If you wanna work together please get in touch! P.S Hope Hank feels better soon!
Hi
I’ve been subbed for a while but never really watched until this episode as there is only so much time in the day!
The quality of this production is bloody excellent!!!
I’ll be back for more now.
Thanks for the great effort
I was relieved to see Hank perk back up, he’s my favorite 😊. Thank you for making these videos, which are both informative and great adverts for your homeland. I’m beginning to think that we may just skip the Med for a while in favor of following in your wake.
‘Just’ back from 3 weeks in the Med … actually that’s already a few weeks ago and have been away on business … so WONDERFUL to see you again. A few things…
1. Having invested in some “marriage savers” and purchased the updated models based on your suggestion, these were put to the test this year in Greece and are indeed known as: “The marriage savers” (“Shall I go and get the marriage savers?”). Amazingly, instead of being told I shout and yell like a man possessed, I was asked to speak up: “As I cannot hear you over the noice of them chain”. Humm. Even: “I now realise how much I couldn’t hear over the noise of the chain” Hummmmm. We didn’t get to: “And so I’m sorry for all the time I said you were screaming like an uncontrolled Banshee”, but a definite improvement over before. Thank you 😊
2. Very sorry to see Hank so down. Did you ever work out why?
3. Good to see your deployment of the kedge. Have you done ‘the bridle’ episode and I’ve missed while away? Just what I recommended to ‘the admiral’ a couple of times while away…
4. No Air Buddy when diving. Is this good news on the BP side? Have been wondering (and worrying) about you
5. The wood burner looks more than marvellous
6. And the 3 weeks in Greece? They coincided with Storm Daniel, so initially high pressure and no wind at all, then biblical rain and winds to match, then biblical rain, winds and electric storms with lightening strikes to the water meters from us, and then high pressure and no wind… don’t ask!
And of course, your production quality continues to be beyond excellent. Wonderful content, so thank you 😊
I can’t decide if Hank or Alan are my favorite British CZcams boat pet.
Another fabulous video. Sorry that Hank was feeling groggy.
Thankfully he bounced back pretty quickly and perhaps he just ate something he shouldn’t have on his morning walk?
Anyway I’m happy to report that he’s been perfectly fine since 🙏🏼😊
Menabilly is my favourite quiet local bay. So glad you found it! :D
How have I never thought of that before?... Phone in a dry sack up the mast! Genius 😀
I wish I could take the credit for said genius but in truth I saw someone else do it first, probably on CZcams too 😬😇
We think Hank was just feigning those symptoms so you'd get to the next beach all the quicker 😅. Particularly like the undersea shots in this episode. Another stunning anchorage thats for sure!
Thankfully he bounced back quickly, probably ate some bad grass on his morning walk. He does drink out of some very questionable puddles at times 🤢
Its a good observation about the anchorage, services and solving the problem of it being a bit rolly.
Looks great there.... no tourists lol
Another great film thanks Guys. Judging by the tar on your woodburner glass I think your wood maybe damp or you need more air to run hotter Try cleaning the screen with some slightly wetted newspaper dipped in the ash then buff up with a dry clean sheet of dry newspaper. ben
Top dog. Love him! You two ain’t too bad either. Enjoy guys and thanks for the coverage 👍
Great Video…Thanks !!
Hank bounced back thank goodness. Maybe he ate something on his last walk? Hey if you want an easy quick way to clean your fire door glass, scrunch up some newspaper, slightly wet it, dip it into some fine ash in the fire and rub the inside of the glass. The black stuff comes straight off. 👍. Then just clean up with another wet clean price if newspaper.😊 works a treat. Thanks for another nice episode.
About the desireability of undesirable anchorages, hear hear; I just spent a night in complete privacy in a somewhat sketchy anchorage (rocky and variable bottom) and it was great, had it all to ourselves and it was perfectly sheltered. Sure we could've been around the corner where it was "safer", but there's something special about your very own cove for the night, isn't there. :)
Looks a bit chilly , but beautiful coastal scenery Fair winds!!
Always enjoy seeing your vids. I'm constantly surprised by the beauty of the English coastal scene. I have always assumed it was cold and miserable 95% of the time. So wrong. definitely would love to visit someday and get off the beaten track.
😂you could say goodbye😂
Once again great video
Not much wrong with Hank!!!
Thankfully not. He was very out of sorts for the entire trip over to the next anchorage but thankfully whatever it was didn't stop him from bouncing back once he got off onto dry land again 🙏🏻
Good sond trak!
Very nice video you make. Maybe we will sail to UK next summer and try your anchors places. By the way, I have the same wood stove you have. 😊👍🇳🇴
End works fine now☝🏽
A roaring fire in your ships fire place. How romantic. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HANK?
We don't honestly know, it was very unlike him. He's normally full of life and sits with us when we sail, but this trip he just never came out from the cabin and looked very sad the entire trip 😕
Thankfully he had bounced back by the following day 🙏🏻
Thats where insulation and multihulls come into play.....
Another brilliant edition, we are based in Dartmouth (Noss) and always look out for you when out and about, is Cadoha fitted with stealth Mose ☺️
That #torqeedo outboard sounds so noisy! 😂😍😎
😃👍👍👍❤
Hey guys! We haven’t seen your channel for a little while, last we checked you are at QAB Marina and we may or may not meet you there because that’s where our boat moonshadow lives, when are you going to leave?
I am a bit miffed with you regarding this video. At the end of the 1st 30 seconds, you say that Hank has come down with a mysterious condition. I know that I am a strict dog person because I kept asking about Hank yet you never addressed his ailment after you first mentioned it.
Once you showed Hank running around as usual once on land I realized that whatever he was suffering from, his system worked through his issue.
Ok, I feel better now. Thank you.
Yes he thankfully bounced back very quickly. He was all out of sorts for the entire trip over to the anchorage and we have no idea what was wrong with him, it was quite the mystery. Perhaps he just ate or drank something he shouldn't have on his walk that morning?
He's back to his usual self now though ☺️🙏🏻
@@CadohaAdventures Did he have any Partridge feathers stuck under his lips on the way back to the boat? 😉
When you were diving you showed a strange shaped alien looking think, what is that? Also how’s the blood pressure? I recently had a scan and I have gold in me. Gold stone they said.😂
Are you talking about the jelly fish? If so it was a 'compass jelly fish' and I'm working on the blood pressure at the moment, trying to bring it back down with natural remedies (less alcohol, caffeine and more working out) before I go down the medication route 🙏🏻
@@CadohaAdventures not Jelly fish, I know what that looks like 😁, I think it was an egg or something. It was White, but I have seen them on beach’s before but they are black.
I have looked back at your episode and you have ladled it as a shark egg.
@@ianlloyd-edwards8590 ah yes, it’s the egg of a small shark called a ‘Bull Huss’.
#prayforhank
Do you have to get permission to go on these strolls. Some day I'd love to go to some of these places and just enjoy an incredible walk.
I saw on one of your maps that you are in the vicinity of Looe. Does it have a harbor or cove? It is the only town I ever visited in Cornwall and that was over 50 years ago. I'm just wondering if I would recognize anything.
We never actually went into Looe but I believe there is a harbour which dries out or there’s space to anchor outside but we didn’t feel comfortable anchoring there so we carried on past Looe to Talland Bay.
@@CadohaAdventures Thanks, Domiinic. Sometimes those harbors have a wall you can tie up to dry out against and scrape barnacles.
I just decided to go to Google Earth and take a look. It was almost like being there. I remembered the bridge over the river and the beach on the bay, and that was all. There is a wall to lean against and dry out to clean the bottom, but I would want to check it out in person before I went in a tried it. The pilings and rock wall may be covered in barnacles. And if it's all mud, the keel would sink in. If it is hard sand with stones, then it might support you.
How much chain do you have on your kedge anchor. Mine sulks in the locker, unused and without chain
And……????
