Winter snow storm hits the boat Ep.43
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 01. 2018
- The reason we decided to keep the boat in Charleston is that it is above the hurricane belt and famous for its mild winters.
Yeah, right.
Last week it snowed, and it snowed and we huddled down with a broken heating unit and tried to keep ourselves warm with candles and a small heater.
All very romantic in theory. The reality was very different.

Terysa's joy is gorgeously and wonderfully palpable in this episode -- those northern lats are a-calling, Nick!
Terysa ... that beautiful snow you’re enjoying doesn’t even come close to the beauty you exhibit (and I’m not talking just about your outward appearance).
I’ve watched enough of your episodes to observe that you’re a real jewel of a person with a genuinely sweet spirit and all the grace and patience necessary to tolerate Nick when he’s at his grumpiest.
We all love Nick, warts and all (as you can see from the thousands of comments in your channel posts) ... but I think you have been a huge (and equal) part of your channel’s success.
Nick is indeed a very lucky fellow to have you in his life ...
The water bottle story had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video. Thanks for the entertainment as always.
Love it. That was the perfect ten minute whinge-come-bowel curiousity, interspersed with pixie dance and laughter from the perfect foil. Brilliant!
Would love to see a hot water bottle/enema unboxing. That would be hilarious. Nick, you are so lucky, Terysa is such a ray of sunshine that brighten up your/our day.
I have to agree, she is a one person Morale booster
good thing that you built the shelter so well nick!
When I was young in the 50's and 60's, grand ma had and used hot water bottles. Raising kids in the 90's we have never thought of using them, but we lived where a cold night would be 6 C in mid winter. Moved to foot hills in Northern California we might see snow once in 7 years and just a dusting. I think with having central heat and air or electric blankets it makes the hot water bottle pretty well the way of the Dodo. I have never seen a "dual" purpose bottle, it's a hot water bottle or an enema bag, but marketing what it is it makes sense. My son lives in Virginia, I like my left coast. Stay warm so enjoy your videos, have a safe trip to the UK. Cheers!
I was waiting for Terysa to make a snow angel she looked so cheerful!
I thought it was only in England that we couldn't deal with snow :-)! It's gorgeous!
..... laughing ..... had tears with your hot water bottle segment .... mum was a Brit, so we always had hot water bottles on hand .... another great installment ..... have fun be safe ......
Lucky that Mr. Grumpy has such a lovely happy crew!!
Chaleston - snow - -6C !!! Hard to believe from my memories of the place.
When it's an enema bottle, it's 6 ft in the air. The only thing that is contaminated is the plastic insertion part. lol
Seriously though, regarding the electric heater, pay attention to where it is pointed and also to the plug and cord, etc. Those things can consume nearly all the electrical capacity of a typical circuit. When running constantly, the plug and socket can get hot along with other parts of the electrical distribution system.
When something is foreseeable, it's not an accident! Be well and Fair Winds....
Well our Espar failed as well , just before Christmas , I was lucky enough to have a connection through a friend and got ours up and running before the cold snap here Gibsons BC ,Canada,we are on our 380 Catalina this winter , we saw some -8 c over night but nothing sustained , and no freezing rain ,and just a skiff of snow , alas we had no water on the docks for 3 weeks !
Fortunately we have dirt dweller friends that help out if we need help , back to normal now ..its way better than our home town which has been down to -45 c a few times in the last 3 weeks..!!
I enjoy your rants they make me laugh out loud as i am much the same..!!!
Congratulations guys! You’ve chosen the worst winter in probably 50 years to hit the southeast. Enjoy it! It won’t last long. Come to New England and experience real winter....lol. Anyway, Im sure you guys or, y’all down south, will warm up soon. I hope you made all your flights. Love watching your vids guys.
Your lovely wife looks on the bright side. Nice! Stay well & happy.
It is SO SO good to have someone around who keeps the positive attitude no matter what happens! One of the reasons why having my partner around keeps me happy :D
OMG so funny aout the Hot Water Bottle. You are so correct, I would only use it for a water bottle never thought of it as an enema bottle, uck. Glad you threw the rest away. Was laughing so hard when you talked about it's dual purpose. Great video guys! Stay warm.
Never ever lose your wonderful out look on life!!!
It's adorable to see Terysa so happy in the snow. I'm with you mate, I hate the cold. I am still suck a couple hours south getting my boat repaired (and emptying a house) but as soon as it's done, I'll be heading south. Having grown up around here, I can say it's most always cold in the South during winter. Temperate weather starts mid-Florida.
About the hot water bottles, we simply don't use them. In 'murica, we turn up the thermostat.
I froze my ass off in Jacksonville last year. 40 years ago GA and SC didn't used to be this bad. The polar vortex has shifted due to climate change. As Bender says "Stupid meatbags, you had your chance" :)
Nice rant! Jouke would have made a snowman BEFORE I'd get of the boat while complaining about the snow and the cold. I hate the cold! I'm actually thinking about buying a complete spare diesel heater.
That was so funny. It is like watching 'One Foot in the Grave'. Guess who is Victor Meldrew. I don't believe it! A water bottle enema! Thanks for the vids they make my day.
They say opposites attract........very funny you two!
Agreed! Fresh snowfall, nothing more beautiful ❄️❄️❄️
You guys can also opt for a space heater. You can pick one up at either Loews or Home Depot. They sell for about 50.00-70.00 US dollars. Get one with an automatic shut off thermostat.
Nick, you are an absolute riot....
No nurse, no enema.
Stop complaining dude. I just started watching your channel but in every episode all you do is complain. Your missus is great and positive. Your boat is on top of the water. Your living the dream. If you can't handle a little weather at the dock I would hate to think if you were out to sea and things went wrong. Keep up the good work and try to stay positive
Tips about 4X4's, the front axle turns slower than the rear. This helps to gain traction in mud, but has the opposite effect on icy or snowy roads. What you want is an AWD or All Wheel Drive. In one of those the axle's turn at the same rate to more easily facilitate city driving in inclement weather.
If you want to prove to yourself how different the axle turning rates are, simply get on dry pavement and engage it. The car will move, but it will complain a lot about it. The tires will leave skid marks and the transfer case will grind the entire time.
You should still enjoy the snow though.
You just solved my biggest problem!!!
Last month I moved aboard my Downeaster 38 in Mystic Connecticut. Heating my boat has been my biggest challenge. I’ve tried electric heaters but it’s so cold I can’t keep an uninsulated boat warm on 10,000 BTUs. (Any more power and I trip the breaker‘s). I’ve used a portable kerosene heater to supplement and it created a layer of soot inside my cabin that will take me weeks to clean. (Yes, I was operating it properly and tried two different models). NEVER did I even consider using my propane stove and oven to heat the boat! Duh!!! Watching this episode was an “ah ha” moment!!! Why did I not f’ing think of that ??!!
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose I have two CO2 detectors installed. Main cabin and vberth.
I plan to put a steel plate on my stove top and use it as a convection heater.
Yes, very unusual weather for us South Carolinians. We are 2 hrs NW of you and got 4”, and it was hard to believe it stuck around for 3-4 days, with our intense sun seems it would’ve melted quicker. Now being from Ohio, this is something I miss...a little, but I’m done now, back to blue skies and sunshine please.. keep warm ! Love your channel
Walking in a winter wonderland! !!
Just kidding we love y'all.
Safe travels. From here in central Florida.
Hey you guys we hope you are having fun whatever you are doing but WE MISS YOU !! Hope your staying warm or have gone somewhere hot😊 cheers
Yippy yippy its snowing.
After hearing some bad news last night (death in the family), watching this episode with my morning coffee was just what the doctor ordered. Watching Terysa's pure, child-like joy playing in the snow was just what I needed. I too like the quite after a fresh snowfall. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your travels.Fair winds.
Thank you
It just makes you appreciate the exotic and warmer destinations that much more! We hit -21 fahrenheit lat week here in NH and only Mars was colder then on top of Mt Washington at -100 which is 15 minutes from where i live. I'll be in Florida next week for several weeks!
“The thistle attachment”....Nick is hilarious. I too grew up with the hot water bottle as the aid to every ailment so when I went in search of one after moving here to NYC, I was baffled that no one knew what the hell I was talking about whenever I inquired about where the hot water bottles were located in the pharmacy. Finally, some poor soul finally figured out what I was asking for, then sent me on my way with my very own thistle attachment. ; ) hope you guys didn’t get caught in all of that melee with the flooded baggage at JFK. Peace & fair winds (& happy new year!)
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose - Couldn’t agree more ... JFK and New Delhi both create oral vacuums!
Stay safe warm n well guys n gals . Bet ya olds are so pleased to be out there atm ;-)
I was in suffield Canada on the prairie playing soldiers and in the daytime it was +40 Absoulutly soul destroying hot heat and was literally begging for British weather then on a long night move it dropped down to minus 30 with snow !! chuffing unbelievable and freezing gonads wasn't the word as we only had summer kit and no winter Wollys emotional stuff to say the least.
Hope it warms up for you soon x
Subfield training centre was a bit of a dump when I was there playing soldiers in 1974. Lots of changes now.
Al W
Yup a lot of changes over the years but In the not so distant future it will be handed back to the Canadians due to the never ending cutbacks.
In my 30 years service I must have spent at least two years on that godforsaken prairie :)
Now you guy's are Honorary Canadians! Don't complain. Here in Edmonton it is -30 C with a bunch of snow.
Top tip, get a terracotta flower pot (a big one that fits the whole hob - covers both rings) you can keep it in a locker & fill it with fishing gear etc. When needed, turn it upside down and put it on the hob. Heat it up then turn off the gas. It radiates heat for hours, a common trick for high latitudes sailors.
No worries, but Skip Novak deserves credit & he would know! I've done it in Ireland & it really works,. Just don't sit on it! Perhaps someday I'll share to story if one of the old geezers in the club that branded his own ass! You can still read the manufacturers name on his cheeks :)
Now that's a party trick you don't see often - thankfully!
Working forward in your videos so I'm still way behind the current times. You were very brave to drive while there is snow in Charleston. As a lifelong New Englander and now of Charleston, they do not know how to drive in snow and they just shouldn't. What I like is that it might be 75 the next day after snowing.
Fortunately being South Carolina it won't stay iced up too long. But, as you said it is so quiet and beautiful.
love it you remind me of me when it snows , wife and kids love it i take snow as a personal insult
Ahhhh...a good solid Nick rant of the week .... although with the new rules it’s just f’ing lacking in impact!!😎. Sorry Nick, ranting without cussing just isn’t the same..... on the other hand I throughly enjoyed seeing Terysa jumping around like a school girl who just saw snow for the first time while you were doing your rant.....I’d call that ...... Priceless!f
Well if was -22F, -35F wind chill here in Minnesota. Truck wouldn't start. But a good hot meal and coffee keeps me warm. Enjoy the weather as you will remember it forever.
Great video as usual guys. I have under 2 feet of snow for 3 weeks now. Keep sailing
wow... stay warm! Just escaped the snow again and back afloat now :D Just wish we had made it a bit further south already but.... paperwork is holding us back...
79 degrees and freezing lol awesome
Being a big fan of Nick's anglo saxon choice of phrase, I'm glad to see that you chose just to beep them rather than completely editing out... I was worried you were going to lose some of the spontaneity but nope it still works and brings a little joy to those of us stuck in offices around the world!
Just as a hot water bottle....Cheers, Ted
I see you guys had on stocking caps, something normally you don’t pack why you’re sailing. Looking forward to when you get out sailing , hopefully sometime soon! Love your channel ! 👍😀☃️
The snow, the parker, the smile, you could've stepped right off the pages of of Vanity Fair.
Nice toque!!
You guys did a wonderful job of showing how to be resourceful in inclement weather on a boat, something few other channels have done. I look forward every week to your videos. Also Nick I was always taught that a hot water bottle was for keeping warm and soothing aches, as such I too threw away the hose and thistle attachment. Ha ha
I must of walked past your boat that Friday after the storm without realizing it was you. My Kids stomped "we were here" on the private dock on the other side of the bridge. I used to keep a sailboat at the other marina on the other side of the bridge, that marina is gone now. Keep posting.
Great grey moody photo and great music along...
Congrats !
I am glad that you two have survived the bitter, unseasonable cold for Charleston. We are in the roller coaster of weather in the northeast right now going from unseasonably warm with a massive amount of rain to an arctic blast and snow. It's winter!
That'll teach you not to have a spare glow plug!!
Great to see you guys still enjoying yourselves. Roll on spring.
By the way I am sitting looking out on the Dover Straits and not a bit of snow in site!
looks LIKE FUN!
A freak storm can make anyone feel a bit short-tempered! You are such a Good Sport! Cheers!
Hope all goes well with the snow and ice removal and you don't get any damage. Remember it can always be worst and to look on the bright side.
while he whinges she dances and I laugh, thanks!
A life jacket on a snowy icey dock is just smart.
Just be happy it's only for a month or so...Where I live in the US (Northern Minnesota).. this kind of weather is what we live in during every winter...Now with that being said and the fact that it is now 0 degrees out here, I'm going ice fishing..So stay warm, think about putting your heater under the canvas to melt the ice and hot chocolate and rum is a great combo..:-)
hahaha love your the rants.. cracks me up!!.... lots of love guys!
Cheers Nick. I love your style. I’m in northern Canada. It was -38 here this morning. 😎
You need to get that snow off the Bimini and dodger asap.
I love your reply to the recent “Z” video. I’m in 100% agreement with what you said. Good luck
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose
I like your style too Terysa. 😁 There are loads of keyboard warriors out there.
I can always tell which of you responds to viewer comments:
Two to four word responses = Nick (usually “cheers mate” if not interested but making a real effort to be polite)
Twenty to forty word responses = Terysa (good on ya for taking the time for thoughtful responses)
I laugh so hard when Teresa is all bubbly and happy and Nick is pissy....I do understand the conc r n for damage to the boat. It was such a freak storm to the whole East coast. Oh to have been a fly on the wall when the Walmart employee handed Nick an enema kit!!!! Great laughs!
I just wanted to say love the B Roll in this vlog; nice work. And Thank you for making my life better. John The Limo Driver from Kansas city
Sorry I'm just getting to see this now. Been away from Wi-Fi for the past 3 weeks. But the one piece of advice I would give to you guys is; sometime in the next few months you guys will be faced with blistering hot days. You'll probably want an hour or so back in the snow haha. Great video. Hope the flights worked out. Oh, and the New York news outlets dubbed that storm a "BOMB CYCLONE". Whatever overly indulged pot smoking meteorologist came up with that one?! Haha. Can't wait for spring to hit up here in NY already!
You kept walking by a beautiful green Hans Christian 38 😀😀😀
Loved the video lol
It is beautiful,
Bummer. Love the videos, good luck with your travels
A good layer of snow will insulate the boat and keep you warmer.
Tryesa, Ignore that crumudgen, enjoy the snow. I like the snow as well, and enjoy the effects on the enviroment.
;)
I live about a mile up the Stono from you off the Intracoastal. I buy gas at St Johns when out in the boat. So cool y'all are there! I've never seen snow like that here in Charleston before and I'm 46.
Good old fashioned SC ice storm! Yay!
Lol. Loren just had a dream we were racing against Delos on Lake Erie. Apparently they’re just dreamy.
You are Lucky, your wife is in good spirit and liked it.
Ah He's Lucky no matter what mood she's in! My guess is even an angry rant with that face would be pretty easy to take?
OMG I started to say that in my comment but was afraid too... Afterall Love goes along way to saving a guys uh...backside? Lol
Man...I love the show...you guys are a delicious blend of cheese and whine...
Glad to see you made it through the snowpocalypse! I wrecked our adventure mobile with the ice.. Hope you get your heat working before this weeks cold spell!
Hey Nick there is a bright side to cold mornings you get to spike your coffee with your liquor of choice.
Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose It's a old camping trick, takes the edge off. Cheers 🍻
Here is the thing :) ... those of us that live in places that experience long winters are prepared for it. So I do feel for you.
Hopefully you are now in a warm place where you can laugh at this experience.
Thanks for the post.
Cheers
You guys are so funny in this video, I wish for you warmer weather, keep up the good work :)))
You have an other Option of heating your boat, using your stove. Take one of your older coocking pots, drill a hole of about 2cm into the mid of the bottom, flip the pot upside down and place over the flame of your stove, that's it, you have built a propper heat exchanger to warm up your boat. Fair winds and following seas.
Great video again guys. My first season living aboard now was quite a wakeup since it was 9F last week (-5F wind chill) here in North Carolina (I've spent the past many years mostly living in deserts). We've had two boats in the marina sink halfway overnight due absent owners not closing off seacocks in unheated boats causing the input filters to crack their glass housings. Neither was evident until a few days after thawing. Gonna be below freezing for the next week too but thankfully not that cold. It's been interesting not having marina water for a couple of weeks. Luckily I'm only using it for dishes since I haven't cleaned out the tanks or hoses yet.
This has only been up for an hour and look at the comments already
You guys are like Rock Stars. Haven't seen anything like it since the Beatles!!!!
Those little fan heaters are great, I use one when camping in winter on sites with electric hookup. Crazy winter kitesurfing meetups in Wales.
Glad you have C0 alarms stay safe
Try a Mr. heater runs on propane and is safe indoors you can purchase the hose attachment for use with bigger propane tanks. The little green tanks don’t last or just stay in bed and keep busy.
I think the hot water bottles went by the wayside in the early 60's with the advent of central heating. Still, a nice item to have in emergency situations. I remember that my flat in London had radiant heat, so yeah, there were cold spots in the bedroom and I can see that hot water bottles could still be useful. Stay warm!
Cyclone bomb!!
26 degrees?!?!? That's *really* warm! I'm in Bristol at the moment and I have a electric thermostatic heater that doesn't let the temperature drop below 12 degrees when I'm not on the boat (to reduce the condensation) and the Webasto central heating switches off at 21 degrees as otherwise the place is a Sauna!
By the way, dump the eberspatcher; they have really expensive parts. You can find a Webasto second hand anywhere for less than the price of a service kit on the ebespatchers. Webasto is used by car makers as pre-heaters on things like landrovers and cold environment cars (and lorry cab heaters) so they are dirt cheap, plenty of spares and can be fixed with a hammer. They just don't have the appropriate yachty credentials!
For once you’re in a colder climate than me!😂 good old Blighty looks tropical compared. Keep up the great work and your still the best sailing channel in the WORLD.
OMG, I thought you were in Florida! Hell no, warmer climes beckon.
Beautiful shot of the water from the drone
Enjoyed seeing eyes describing enjoyment of snow and new scenarios to manage... Beautiful, beautiful, thanks for sharing! Who were the guests aboard during second half???
hey iam a Adelaide boy,and i think most South Aussies have the tea light candles ready for the usual power cuts
Nick and Terysa, here’s an idea; probably wasteful but, entertaining...use your Bose and a Very base sound on the iPod, put them in the cockpit with the volume completely maxed out and watch what happens to the ice on the Bimini! Then just use a broom or a leaf blower to “dust off” the residue!
Only if you can turn it up to 11.
Be sure to keep a dehumidifier running and some heat. Caution on condensation on cabin roof as ice and snow melts.
As I read this her in Melbourne Australia the temperature yesterday was 39.2 Celcius (102 Fahrenheit) and today it is 42.3 or 108 Fahrenheit, the tempreture on the court for the Aust Open Tennis was 69 Celcius or 156 Fahrennheit,,,,,,,, snow is the furthest thing from my mind.
BTW Terysa is having waaaay too much fun
Welcome to the strange and weird weather of the USA! I live in PA and I can't ride my Harley! Have a couple bottles of beer! Enjoy!
Oh No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to head to a bar
Hi from Montreal where it’s raining now and were expecting 30 cm of snow between tonight and tomorrow (Saturday).
Nick, if I can offer you ANY sound advice it’s to keep the canvas top free of snow (heave it off by pushing underneath), and the canvas sides free from ice buildup. Be as diligent as you can. It’s heavier than it looks. Keep the hatches, vents, port lights clear for ventilation, etc as best you can.
Then have fun with Theresa. There’s little else you can do weather wise, so why not use the energy for fun.
I know it sounds obvious, but who really likes shovelling snow. So it's more about the diligence. You've done some really fantastic canvas work :).
Haha,, I'm so terribly sorry but I enjoyed that. Oh and I don't use a hot water bottle for anything. Ever! ^_^
There not equipped to deal with snow down their but it does happen from time to time , I've seen it snow as far south as Fort Lauderdale Florida it don't last long but it happens from time to time
