    Here's an old mechanic's trick to help keep windows clear if you have a potato or starch source on board. Clean thoroughly as you did. Mix your starch a cup's worth to a liter should do. Or take a potato and cut it in half. Coat the windscreen with the solution. Or rub the potato over it. You might have to thinly slice the potato to keep the face fresh. The starch will make any water sheet off the surface clearly instead of accumulating in droplets which are hard to see through. This works on cars to if your windshield wipers are broken. Fair sailing.

    Fantastic episode as usual, I get where John comes from, when a job needs to be done you make sure it is done before you rest. Certainly were lucky that the fuel dock let you stay. Keep up the awesome work, looking forward to the next episode

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  Před 17 dny

      Very true! Thanks so much Sean. Yes, we were super lucky they let us stay, we moved a few times but I think in the end they felt sorry for us because we literally had no where to go! And by the time we got settled it was well after midnight, so we were only there for a few hours in the end before we headed off. Thanks, and looking forward to sharing the next episode with you S! 🙂

    Hey hey Kris n John! Long time no speak. Hope you're both well. Another amazing episode. Particularly humoured by John getting coy about the mammatus clouds. Can relate. Spent a great deal of time with my head in those bob Tait cpl textbooks and meteorology was probably my favourite! If I didn't become a pilot I'd have probably been a meteorologist. Only job in the world you can get paid for consistently being wrong! Safe n happy travels my favourite YTers. Much love as always ❤❤

    Sensational, that looked like a smooth crossing in any case. Yeah like John mentioned at 16:00 “Just Bang it out” the Kiwis are flicking live broadcasts out like there’s no tomorrow. Sailing LaVagabond are calling them Special Documentary’s including Darwin informing 50 odd thousand viewers he needs to poo. So indeed bang it out including the shouts.😊
