From the unexpected shock of coming face to face with an army of giant crabs, to a bold claim we have to test out for ourselves for an electric outboard engine, to yet another deserted anchorage. What an action packed day.

Another cracking episode guys! Those spider crabs would be my worst nightmare, worth it for the delicious scollops though! Can't wait to see where you anchor next 🤩
Those scallops and knowing how much carly wanted them is exactly what kept me there longer than six and a half seconds 😂
The lack of noise on the new engine was insane.
It's completely insane how quiet it is. Really taken back by it.
Agreed! It really is VERY impressive, huh
at the end of the day, both are quieter than any 2 stroke or 4 cycle outboard...
I am sorry I am late with this, I had problems trying to post yesterday. Re: any electric dinghy motor, you need to look into how the LiFePO4 battery and BMS operate in the cold weather where you are going to cruise. Does the BMS have a cold weather shut off when recharging the battery in 0ºC (32º F) or lower because it is my understanding charging a LiFePO4 battery at near or below freezing will kill the battery. Love the image of Hank at the brow of the dinghy with ears and jowls fluttering in the wind!!! Yeah, leave the crab, take the scallops! Best, :¬) Webhead USA
Nice to see the new out board and very quirt , amazing to use in a nature expedition , Those spider crab , arrive every year ,there was a tv program and the fisherman said around the 20th of April ,they arrive and he had been at it for 50 years . Another great video , thanks to you all .❤👍👍 🐕
It’s amazing to use the engine in a beautiful spot and have such quiet, makes such a difference, even though we didn’t think the old engine was loud, now it feels like it was.
What I love from your channel is the uniqueness of content..
No other channel devotes that much time and attention to seafood harvest for your galley and the unique anchor places review and respective charting for further use..
Hope you create and publish a nice book about these treasures..
Well it’s lovely to try and crate something that’s at least slightly unique 😊🙏🏼
"No other channel devotes that much time and attention to seafood harvest for your galley". + 1, also Sailing Papao is all about seafood harvest cruising
@@SV-Flying-Tigress sweet, not heard of them but will check them out. We do love checking out people who are into the same way of life as us at this point too 😊🙏🏼

I love how your videos looks so one moment at a time. Great review on the new Torqeedo. It all looks so pleasant.
Hi Cadoha. We remember being anchored next to you at Fishcombe. Fair winds, Amathus 😊
Every time i watch one of your magnificent posts, the one overriding, inescapable, fact is your four footed friend is absolutely magnificent and obviously loves his fate in life
We hope his short little life is packed full of colour and adventure with the best walks and new places to explore.
We are at devils point, thanks to your channel. Very nice and quiet. Thank you. Also dyslexic with high blood pressure. Hope yours is under control now. All the best.
Amazing. So are you anchored in Barn Pool?
Anstey’s cove, where the pirate lives on the beach.
Spider crabs are delicious... it's the most common critter I catch in my traps
We’ve had them before and really liked it, just a shame these were soft.
Still can't believe this is Britain 😂 amazing ✊🏻🏴
When the sun comes out it’s a pretty special place 😊🙏🏼
Super episode.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼😊
Those scallops looked so nice - sat here drooling now.
Carly did an amazing job of them. What we wouldn't give to have some more right now 😬🙏🏻
Dom When you have finished with your outboard shut of the fuel start the engine let it use up the fuel and stop . Then when you go to use it again you have fresh fuel into the carb . Cheers
Solid advice
Spider crabs make fantastic eating, we caught one in Douarnenez and it was the first crab I have ever been able to eat, really sweet!
Indeed, but since much of the flesh is in the claws and legs if they are soft they need to go back. Perhaps earlier in the season. Used to find lots of them on the W side of Portland when diving.
I'm not a big fan of the sea...too wet. However, finding scallops and crabs makes me challenge myself. My wife has thrown a frozen prawn into my bath...let battle commence🙄
You guys are ALWAYS Funny, Interesting, Informative, and NOT like Everyone Else…!!! 😎👍👏🥳
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
My favourite old school outboard is the good old Mercury 2.5. Mine is ancient, one of the first without conventional points. If it hasn't been used for a few months it takes a few pulls to start but then it's fine.
I’m gutted in ever managed to just keep my old outboards going. I feel like I’ve dropped many a man point for not being able to 😂
I fricking love that clip 😂😂😂😂😂
Ha ha, I thought of our chat at the BBQ when I decided use it again 😬
It’s the pitch of the 1003 which isn’t great, but that 1103 is amazing
It’s amazing just how different they actually sound. I genuinely didn’t think it’d be quite that different.
I still love how easy the 1003 made life though, and still feel fond of it. It’s very much quieter than our petrol outboards and it never once let us down so still a great bit of kit, but…. The 1103 now has pride of place 😬😬😬
Spider crabs used to be a by catch when I was a commercial fisherman. We nicknamed them Spoilers as they made a mess of our nets.
Nowadays they’re staring to be called British King crabs and are gaining in popularity. Nice to eat too, except when as you found them and their shells are soft and full of water.
Some of them were sooooo big too that if they weren’t soft I imagine would have made white the meal! 😬
@@CadohaAdventures Boil the claws for 10 minutes and they’re so sweet and tasty. Shameful to say but back in the 80’s to save hassle eating them I discarded the rest , which looking back was so wasteful. I used to eat buckets full of them with bread, garlic butter and lemon. Beats popcorn when watching a movie😀
Odd how the spiders group like that. Surprised they arent being fished more. As usual the video is fun.
@Dominik: the obvious next step now is to mount both of them at the same time and see how fast you can go with your twin-engine Dingbat
That. Is. Genius!!!
Ah, living the life like a dream come true.
It certainly feels very fortunate and we hope the site were busy building can help give something back so others can experience these places too 🙏🏼😊
Torqeedo £2000 4HP Mercury 4 Stroke £ 979 big difference in price
Agreed, although never needing petrol, oil, filters, spark plugs, servicing, etc, etc, will no doubt help recoup some of the cost over time, plus the electric engine has never once, not even for a split second let us down.
That reliability alone for us is worth paying a premium for, but that's just us and I'm a rubbish mechanic. 😬
Hello, we follow you every time you make new videos. Our curiosity has fallen on the snorkeling/tubing system you use when you dive. It seems quite smart and straightforward... What is it called and where can you buy it?? Thanks in advance⛵️☀️🤗
Very cool
😊🙏🏼
it never fails until it will and will not be reparable anywhere on earth.
Fair comment. So you’re saying it’s best to have two then? 😬😁
yes I guess two is better than one or none sure electric tools or engines work at the first time (I have electric power tools at home) but when they fail you can do nothing (batteries not compatible, no spare parts, no one to help you) instead you will always find someone to fix your gasolien engine everywhere in the world, you will finds parts everywhere for cheap sometimes, used parts....and they are more reliable on the long time😁 @@CadohaAdventures
Not gonna lie, forget the scallops, spider crabs for the win.
Thanks for a great video , have owned a torqeedo for 7 years now. A 1003 great when new but always wash salt water as my has corroded badly , you will a some stage get a communication fault come up as the bend on the cable is far to much of a angle and pulls the wires inside a design fault , they are not cheap to fix . when new very good , i will not be getting another one. rant over. Thanks for your channel.
but when you run a silent motor, the waves will become noisy. it will never end ;-)
That outboard is amazing! Which exact model is it? Travel 1103 CS??
Yes it's the latest 1103 from Torqeedo. We genuinely can't quite believe how much quieter it is as we always thought the first one we had (1003) was quiet, certainly compared to our petrol engines, but this is so hard too hear over the noise of the boats wake 😳
Yep, it makes the old one seem ridiculously loud (which obviously it isn't really).
Hello, hope it's not silly to ask. But what does it mean when the crabs are soft? (I have googled and still can't get a clear answer) thanks
No such thing as a silly question, in fact the only ones which are silly are the ones not asked for fear of being thought ‘silly’ ☺️
Basically a crab will be soft shelled right after it had just shed its old shell. It takes a while for the new one to harden up and so they are very vulnerable at this point and also there isn’t much meat in the shell either at this point. The best time to harvest a crab is when the shell is old and covered in barnacles, as it’ll likely be packed full of meat at this point.
Hope that helps 🙏🏼
Not giant but just spider crabs. We use to fish them in channel Islands.
Did you not see the size of the one I picked my first scallop up from? It was gigantic! It was probably three times the size of the one I brought up to the boat.
@@CadohaAdventures it has happened to me that the larger ones do not fit in the pan. With the legs, I think it can reach 70 to 80 cms.
Soft shelled blue crabs were a delicacy growing up on the east coast of the US. Why would you throw them back?
Because they wouldn’t have much meat in them and would be full of water. We put all soft crabs and lobsters back here.
what battery are y'all using with that outboard?
Just the standard one that comes with it, 915w battery.
One of my favourite ways of having scallops is with black pudding and mushy peas. Cook the scallops in the fat from the black pudding with the addition of a knob of butter. Heat the mushy peas with the addition of mint sauce and about a tablespoon of white vinegar. Spoon the mushy peas onto a warmed plate and add the black pudding on top then the scallops on top of that to complete a mountain of deliciousness.
Wow, now that’s a recipe that I never would have thought of! 👌🏼
I've eaten them that way, too! Definitely great with black pud!
my cat will go 5 knots on 1.5 kw !
Our dingy goes about 7 on 1.063 kw
Hi guys what is that dive system you had?
I really should have posted that somewhere, shouldn't I?
This is the system we use onboard: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM
could not hear anything of 1003
I always found the high pitched squealing noise it makes as fairly inoffensive myself too, certainly much quieter than out petrol outboards, but it was certainly a running theme that people would always pick up on the noise it made during videos.
Well that's just terrible, that water is so noisy. Get quieter water.......😄
Ha ha, must try harder 🤣
LOL, I have had carb cleaner in my eyes... it hurts...guess what... spraying those tiny holes you were doing, exactly as you did. So, you are in company... I'll not claim "good" company...just company ;)
Ha ha, well that makes me feel slightly better then 😬
