  • Dang it! We got COVID :( We isolated for a little over a week in Glandore and got an amazingly warm welcome. Thank you to GHYC, Tim, and all the other wonderful people that helped us get through COVID.

    Mads, on the watermaker, try pulling the prefilter(s) out after making water and letting them dry out. Dump the water from the filter cannister and give it a rinse or clean it if necessary. Reload before next running of the system.
    Are you using a single or double prefilter setup? I’ve got a 20 then a 5. The first one gets nasty quickly if I don’t do the above with all the organic matter that it traps. If you’re getting a sulphery smell to your water, especially if you sample it early in the run, it’s coming from that trapped organic matter. When I saw your prefilter, I expect the cannister needed a cleaning too.
    Anyway, awesome job with the boat and the videos and glad to hear no serious complications from the virus.

    I have been very lucky to have been spared the misery of COVID. Between vaccinations, wearing masks and isolating things have been pretty smooth so far. On the other hand, those who have gotten this miserable virus that I know have said it was the worst they have ever felt and some still felt some foggy thinking, weariness and acheness for several weeks after recovering. Best to stay hydrated, well fed, lot of fresh air and well rested. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thank you both for toughing it out and still producing a great weekly video.

    That’s sailing best not to have too detailed plans the weather and sea state often have other plans, let alone Covid. Try lassoing the buoy if you don’t have a boat hook! Have a couple of Gerry cans for water so when you don’t have Covid you can run ashore and top up your tanks if you want have to avoid running the water maker.

      @teeanahera8949 Před 2 lety

      It’s a majority, not the small percentage. It is true that it can, actually will, be a life changer. The virus never leaves you, and it damages your immune system leaving you open to more infections. Having Covid does not give you any protection from future infection. Vaccination does however but with the constantly changing mutations even vaccination may only give you protection from severe illness for the short term.

    I have been following you from the beginning and I learned many things from you, thank you. But regarding the water maker I must say, we use ours every day, close to shore. If the water is free of pollutants and clean, there is not a problem whatsoever. We have two extra filters one of 20 microns and another of 5 microns before the salt water enters the filter supplier by the manufacture. Marinas or ports are the problem, we keep away from those.

    I was afraid you would report Covid this week after you mentioned the sore throat last week :-( Glad you both are doing better!

    I'm sure I wasn't the only one to recommend Glandore when you first mentioned going to Ireland. I'm glad it lived up to (and exceeded) expectations and my memory of it.

    It is so nice to see my "old stomping grounds" again. I've been all over the coastline roads by motorcycle and I truly miss the Irish landscape and the friends I made there. Had I known when I left Cork in 2007 how work life would turn out back home in Norway... I never would have left Ireland in the first place.

    Not so Pretty Dang Spiffy but glad you are both on the mend. Really enjoyed all your videos the last couple of years and now your on the move a nice mix of true Sail Life with local interest and history. Keep it up as there is Land Ahoy! and many more interesting adventures. ⛵⚓
