- Sailing boat flooding mini drama to one side, a serious question for all of you, is this THE most beautiful port to sail into, in England?! It certainly makes dealing with boat drama more bearable when you're surrounded by this much beauty!
We also want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who is (or has been) supporting us, from friends and family, to you guys who hit the like, share and subscribe buttons and now to our patrons, it's really just unreal that you all helped to make this adventure what it is becoming and we hope that we are able to give back to you in entertainment value at least, as we try to show case the wonder, the majesty, and the beauty of these fine British Isles.
For those of you who want to support us yet feel money is tight, or the outlook with the economy, post Covud, is a bit bleak, then that's perfectly understandable, however, if you can put up with a mere 30 seconds of an advert which is shown on this video, then you have helped immensely. You, by watching this much of an ad that's placed on our video will have played a part in making the difference between us being able to afford, say, an average new life raft (when the time comes to upgrading), to us potentially being able to level up to an all singing, all dancing, self righting, top of the range sail boat life raft, and it's these kinds of upgrades that really could make all the difference in a potential life and death situation. So to those of you who watch 30 seconds of an ad for us, sincerely, from the bottom of all of our hearts, than you! ☺️
In this episode we (once again) experience epic highs, quickly followed by more sailing boat drama as our sailing yacht floods after we come back from a walk. We are lucky enough to sail into possibly the most beautiful entrance to a port which we've experienced, and can only hope that our amateur film making skills can do justice to the magnificence of this amazing place.

Excellent footage of Dartmouth. Just want to give you a thumbs up on the rescue of your pup, and as a side note, I'm sure that in the event of a Mayday, you would have every boat in the area responding after your wife dons her emergency suit 😊. Again wonderful job on the video and you guys really brighten my day.. please keep up the good work
Glad to hear you enjoy the videos, and I hope we'll never have to ever make a mayday call, but....... If we do, I hope the responders have seen this video 😂😂
Honestly, that footage is spectacular. I would compare that to any travel documentary in terms of content and quality.
That's very kind of you to say, not sure I completely agree, but I am very happy that you enjoyed it 😁
Sailing Cadoha well, Judith Chalmers isn’t in it, but very good nevertheless :)
I believe this is your best content to date. The drone footage is absolutely superb. The dialog in the drowned yacht at the end is classic english, stiff upper lip stuff. Carly as per usual and absolute stunner... that smile, OMG.
Wow, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, you've certainly put that smile back on Carlys face 😬😬😬
The best bit of this was the bemused look on that guys face when someone actually tried to pay the landing fees.
We clearly muted ourselves off here. So could of got that for nothing. Hopefully future visitors can learn from our experiences 😂😇😬
Great video guy's. At 19.03 i just crack up laughing great content. Absolutely awesome 👍😂😂🍷🇿🇦
Glad you enjoyed the video, Gary. 🍻
Oh we laughed about carrying the dog, we have all been there!!!.......we love our boat dogs 🐕. Love you guys and thank you .🇦🇺🇳🇿👍
Glad you enjoyed the video and luckily Hank is just about light enough to carry (for a while), any bigger and he'd of had to suck it up 😂
You two are right up there with my all time faves and I find your film footage and story lines interesting and very entertaining. That, combined with Carly's natural beauty and class really compliments you and Hank! By the way, Hank's toenails are in desperate need of clipping. Life on a sailboat will require constant attention to Hank's toenails.
Thank you that's very kind of you to say. I (and my back) also concur that Hanks claws are very much in need of a trim!
@@CadohaAdventures Before you get a hole in your Dinghy.!!!!
Hank is such a blast of positive energy, great dog!!
He is indeed a legend and we're so lucky to have him! 😁
Yet another fine example of telling the story.😀👍⛵️
Glad you enjoyed it, Norman. Hope you're keeping well.
Well Carly probably just got you another 10K subscribers - you found yourself a wonderful gal with a great sense of humor . I noticed a sign for pasties when you paid for your dingy . We in Michigan enjoy them also - brought across the pond by your Cornish miners in the 1800's . Best to check all the hoses , clamps , valves and thru hulls yearly - some of the hoses get brittle with age . Although it won't have done you any good this time a high bilge water alarm is a great thing to have . I don't know how many times I've heard " we didn't know we were taking on water until it was to late " . Was a professional grade video in a great location - Thanks for your effort
Appreciate the feedback, Doug and yes, we agree, a high water alarm and some new hoses look set for the winter jobs this year! 😁😁⛵️
Wow. I would give up the life I have here i New Zealand and become a posh snob. You would have to be right. What a beautiful spot on this planet. And the old steam train passing through looked so majestic. Lovely old charm.
It's pretty spectacular, although New Zealand is also quite breathtaking too 👌🏻🍻
See you here. I'm here to serve.
Stunning footage. I absolutely enjoy the story telling with each vlog...it's like an ongoing documentary....well done.....and more Hank !!
they do so great!
Glad you enjoyed the video, Thomas 😬
Dartmouth is indeed a magical place, sailed in and out many times and always a pleasure, the town is great with many artisan shops and the scenery surrounding is fabulous as you found. Clearly from the reaction of that shop keeper not many people pay their slip fees. Gotta love Hank, poor chap' reminded me of my dog when he was stung on his foot. Some fabulous drone footage and a pain to find that leak but you deal with these ups and downs so well, keep smiling. Andy UK
We certainly try to deal with the ups and downs of boat life with a smile, because I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty fortunate life and problems to have 😬😁
Dartmouth is indeed spectacular and you're right, we totally could have dodged those mooring fees 😂😂
You three have a great relationship which makes these beautifully filmed videos even more of a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed the video and it just goes to show what clever editing can convey 😂
Basically, Carly has the patience of a saint! 😬⛵️
🤣🤣
One more brilliant episode. Step by step, behind each corner, you found a new rabbit hole.
One of the best sailing channels!
Ahhhh thanks, we're also huge sailing channel fans so not sure about being one of the best, but..... Really glad you enjoyed the video 😁😁
I have to say, I really am enjoying these videos from a year ago. Hank and Carly are so damb cute! I think my dog and Hank would get on great! I love the intros too, David Atenburo is my current favorite
This video is so beautifully filmed. Yes you certainly have done Dartmouth proud! It really is a spectacular place! 💙 Hope Hank is much better now? Dom you were a real champion carrying your boy all the way back. I’d have done the same though. 😊🐾❤️ Hope the leak is sorted too!
I'm just glad Hank isn't any heavier, or truth be told I don't think I'd have been able to carry him back 😳😳
Also happy you feel we have done this stunning part of the world justice and you'll also be happy to know that Hank bounced back just a few hours after he was stung 🙏🏻😁
Like always, beautiful footage and great music. You guys handled the water with clear heads and took appropriate measures. I hope it didn't do damage.
Thanks, Chris. Looks like nothing some glorious sanding and a decent few layers of varnish can't fix. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
We all slowly learn to hear given advice like "turn off the water pump". Everyone proves Murphy's Law. Hope you had no costly damage. Stunning video of Dartmouth.
I don't think it was too costly, just a bit annoying more than anything else, and of course some varnishing that will need redoing again in the winter, which seems to be a standard boat chore most years by the looks of things 😂⛵️⛵️⛵️
Was great to meet you guys and hank in Ditsum when we shared the buoy for the night! Little did we know of your awesome, super exciting adventure! Good luck with it all! We'll be following your adventures! 'Storm Free'
Cheers, Mark. Where abouts did you end up getting too now?
@@CadohaAdventures Afte we left you guys and Hank in Ditsum we crossed Lyme bay in 25kts and did the inside passage around Portland heading into Portland marina, the following day did the inside passage around St Aldhelms Headland (10 meters off the beach) then stopped in Swanage before finally heading back to the Solent
👍👍👍👍 You and Carly sure do find the most visually stunning places to have troubles in. 👍👍👍👍🙂 at least you don’t seem to have poison ivy. And I thought I was the only fool foolish carrying a 30# puppy around because we were told he’s not allowed on the ground until he had all his shots.
We've been just falling in love with what's on our doorstep this year. In the grand scheme of how rubbish this year has been for most people, we are feeling quick lucky with how the latter part of this summer has turned out for us. We really can't complain.
Fixing stuff when cruising on an old boat is all part of the adventure! I try to turn these issues into a positive as you learn more about the boat and understand what tools are important . As a one man and his dog newbie I chose to sail last year locally and spent 4 months cruising the west coast of Scotland. This gave me most challenges that I would expect to get if I was sailing in other parts of the world. However, sailing on a budget, the costs and support to deal with these issues were far better than if I was sailing in say the Med!
You're right, every day is a school day on an old boat and Scotland is certainly a breathtaking country to sail around! ⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures When I limped into a marina last year with diesel bug the mechanic summed it up nicely... A sailor is someone that can get an extra knot by tweaking his sails, a cruiser is someone that can change his fuel filter in less than 5 minutes! LOL
Just breathtaking ! the drone shots were great too ! You guys are doing great.
Glad you like them, Richard.
That dog, on your shoulder,full of trust, fantastic. I know it’s almost a year ago but being new to you channel I’d like to say, you know how good footage shoot look like, whether it’s Dartmore or underwear. Like your humour too.
I have run aground on a sand bank in the Exe estuary, been so close to hitting other boats in marinas, engine wouldn't start in an anchorage, my steering wheel almost came off in my hand last weekend........ there is probably more I have forgot, so that,s sailing really.
Love your videos they really are a mix of stunning locations and the reality.
Can,t wait for the next one.
No doubt we have much of that to look forward to ourselves too. It does seem to be the prefect mix of epic locations and boat dramas 😂😂
fantastic video guys! each week they get better and better! and was great to see you handle a rough situation so well! hope hank is feeling his usual self now!! am loving the channel! you guys are going places! that's for sure!
Thank you, that's lovely of you to say, although right now, as far as going places is concerned, if we could start doing that without breaking down for a while, that'd be epic! 😂
Loved this one so much I had to watch it again. Your patience and good humor appear to be boundless. Glad the bee sting resolved quickly. I’ve been battling a copperhead bite on our woof’s paw. Took a month (and multiple vet visits) to realize the fang was still in. Looking forward to the day carrying him is no longer required. Guess I’ll know when that is when he gets grumpy about being toted around.
A copperhead? That's a venomous snake, right? That sounds horrendous. Fingers crossed your pup has a speedy recovery. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾
Brilliant episode.. great filming.. Hanks a legend ! .. he looks so happy on his walkers.. tail wagging like mad. 🐾 beautiful location , reminds me of Helford and Frenchman’s creek. My favourite places. 😊 Greenway too! Another favourite! That’s where we would be now if it wasn’t for lockdown. ☹️ thanks both so much for taking us there. X
Funny, Mark’s had that same chat with me too. Having seen your situation we’ll heed his words in future!
If you don’t have on of those gadgets (which we don’t), you have learn to lasso the buoy to secure you temporarily whilst you thread a mooring line carefully through the eye of the buoy. It’s easy enough once you’ve done it a couple of time. It’s a useful trick when you get into a crowded mooring field and the only buoy left is the one without a float because no one else knows how to lasso a buoy. 🤠
Mark is a wise sea man indeed, and we're kicking ourselves for sure!! The lasso technique makes sense, although we're glad to have discovered the cheat stick, left on board by previous owners 😂😂😂
Making Hank walk the "Hank Plank" to get in the dinghy 😂
Great video, Carlys survival technique is spot on. Been in a similar position with water appearing from nowhere. Most memorable conversation before we had found the source was along the lines of “Is it salt water? Dunno, well taste it, f*** off you taste it, it’s your bloody boat you f-ing taste it”
Yes, I for one am glad I heard the pump going, as I wouldn't much fancy drinking out of the bilge 😂😂
Brilliant vlog really enjoyed it. it just got better and better as it went on. Hope Hank is back to full health now. I do think you have to have at least 1 emergency drill per episode. Love your thinking Carly. Can’t wait until the next instalment.
I think we have one emergency 'drill' if we like it or not at this rate?! 😂 Glad you enjoyed it though 😬
Oh you guys make me laugh & smile ,one of our dogs only has a few days left with liver problems ,...always remember and cherish the good times x
So sorry to hear that, Michael, and it's exactly that kind of reminder that does indeed make you appreciate each day and not take them for granted. 🙏🏻🐾
The river Dart is my favourite place on earth. Glad the boat is ok.
It really is a very special place!
Hank was the star in this episode and as already said in previous comments, an absolute stunning episode which had me laugh and smile a lot. ;-)
Glad it made you smile and yes, as always, you're right, Hank is indeed the star! (and we think he knows it too) 😁
Great video, fun to watch with great humour. Loved the Instagram images as well. It is never fun to have water in a yacht, it is worth tasting a little to put your mind at ease quickly. In terms of places to go, Dartmouth, Salcombe, River Yealm are all great places to be. Hope you continue to have great adventures!
Can't wait to explore all of the great British treasures!! You're right about the taste test, although our water pump running gave the game away this time round 😬⛵️
What a channel you have. You have everything, great content, witty remarks, great video footage, a sense of humour, great crew and a dog that talks! Amazing stuff.
Ha ha, glad you enjoyed the video, Brian. Hank can indeed speak, with facial expressions alone 😂
The "handbags" are called pickup buoys and its easiest to moor a sailing boat or large motor boat by taking a line from the bow and going to the back (swim platform is ideal) where you are much closer and can tie on to the mooring buoy easily. Before letting the boat drift back into position.
Not going to comment on the rest, other than to say it was a very entertaining and worthwhile watch :)
Every day is a school day, so thanks for sharing some more knowledge with us 😁🙏🏻
Glad you enjoy the video 😁
Best episode ever. Thank you.
It was also our favourite to make, so glad you enjoyed watching it ☺️
Hi to both of you. I have been bing watching up to this episode it was so funny cos everything you guys have been through we have been there too. Even the stripping of clothes. Very enjoyable clogs thank you both.
Ha ha, I’m sure these are situations that most salts have been through sooner or later 🤣⛵️
Use a double sheet bend (knot) to secure the think mooring line to the thin line on the special mooring tool for picking up bouys. The thin line is tied to the thicker line with this knot - there will be loads of 'how to' videos you can watch. We use a similar tool all the time and it works very well.
Appreciate the heads up, will look it upon the old tubes of You right now. Thank you 🙏🏻⛵️😁
Oh my a damp lesson. Yet again truly brilliant editing of wonderful footage and great music. Respect for carrying Hank. Whether it’s on a boat or in a house, water leaks are a serious pain.
Yes, you're right, water leaks are about as much fun as a migrane 😔
GEEZUS what a breathtaking intro..... Poor Hank, and for Karly...... i like her train of thought.
Ha ha, the feelings seem unanimous on Carlys 'incident tactics' 😂😳
Epically beautiful. Then hilarious. Laughed at the English couple bit for a good long while.
Absolutely magnificent!
It is an absolutely stunning location. Just picture perfect. 😁⛵️⛵️
The burst water pipe really sucks, hope it all cleans up okay. Your videography and editing is superb, really loving the shots of Dartmouth. Spent a lot of my childhood in Dartmouth as my father kept different boats there over the years. Dom, you have become an ace presenter and quite the expert drone pilot.
Thanks, Richard, I hope I did your childhood location justice 😁⛵️
Great place to grow up!
@@CadohaAdventures you most certainly did it justice. I will be sad to see you travel to foreign countries, you are doing such an excellent job of show casing the beautiful British coastline. There are so many other wonderful places for you to visit on the South coast so please don't be in a rush to leave.
Beautiful scenery, well done with good humor and quality video. And that was just inside your boat. Very much appreciate your VLOG.
Thanks Allen, glad you enjoyed the video 😁
You did it again. Beautiful
Somewhere this stunning both makes it quite easy to shoot god footage, although simultaneously a bit nervous about making sure you do it justice 😁⛵️😬
Thanks for showing the world our stunning town, of which we feel so privileged to live in. We’ve loved coming here for over 10 years and we decided that we just didn’t want to go home, so we moved here! So much to do, with lovely people! Your fishing gear stockists at the hardware shop in the market place, Graham and Sonia. Xx
Ha ha, hello. We were using your gear only yesterday out in a cove, although no joy catching anything, it was still plenty of joy trying!
Can certainly see why you'd stop here, it's such a special place. 😁😁😁
Great videos of a well loved river. Keep up the great work, it's a treat to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it and happy to hear we did this gem of a place justice! 😁⛵️
Another fantastic video.
What a beautiful place.
It really is a stunning place! If you ever get the chance to visit, really, do!
Absolutely loved this video- The River Dart is awesome and you’ve certainly done it justice! Really enjoying your travels and the way you’re presenting them- looking forward to the next one already!
If people who know the river think we've done it justice, then that's all we can hope for. It's a magical place, really is like something out of a movie.
Did you have any difficulty getting a visitors mooring at Dittisham? It was our objective this summer but sadly didn’t make it out of the Solent!
Good job both, it's always a butterfly in stomach moment if you suddenly come across alot of water in a bilge, that's why it pays to know every valve, connection, and system so you instinctively can rule out very quickly the obvious and find the source, which you did. It's good practice as second nature to have auto bilge pump on and everything else closed and switched off when leaving boat just in case the unexpected happens and you can't get back to her. Love the drone footage and editing, and funnily enough I've rowed my dad from that slip about 15 yrs ago. Love the cushion on step idea for Hank, I'll do that for my Lab, and what was really ironic is that tonight my wife and I had to sort one of his paws out after he nicked it on some rocks out on cliff walk.
Hope your pup is OK. Part of the issue for us with the flooded boat was the fact that the float switch on the bilge pump also failed 😔😔😔
But sage advice and thanks for sharing your pearls of wisdom with us 😁😁😁⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures ah ha I see, and there's me thinking you were going to get through one episode without me having a pot shot at you 🤣🤭 so what your saying is you haven't been regularly checking the bilge pump function in manual and auto,,,tut tut,,and now bend over.....bilge pumps are cheap nasty bits of cheap Chinese tat, generally speaking, however one saving grace is they're so simplistic they rarely fail after confirming they work in the first instance? The float switches are so simple they shouldn't fail, unless you had dust and general gunk clogging it, which means you haven't checked it you very very naughty drone flying, dog owning, ..,...,.,......o.k lesson, if a boat is on the water regular an auto bilge pump is a must, I assume your bilge pump switch is a dual one, with auto and manual setting? Make a habit of pressing the manual button once a day before engine start-up, if it works and your strainer is not clogged then from the manual press you can assume the auto float switch will work. You can confirm this too once every 6 mths by pouring water into it and seeing it actually work. (Or get a bit of wire and poke it through the grill and lift the float)..... moral of the story, bilge pumps crucial, working crucial, regular testing crucial. I assume you got a manual bilge pump too and the handle is tied off next to it, and the hose from that pump goes where it needs to? And you got some spare hose tucked away to easily extend the pump hose in case you want to use it down below in a locker for instance? You need to seriously address all that and have a practice drill, you also need to have a selection of bungs and patches and know how to use them. There's a good video on here about that, I think it was a yachting monthly episode. 👍
Great videography! Well done Hank for faking an injury to get a free ride! Maybe time to sit down and replace all hoses and clamps one by one.. Naked mayday! Golden idea! 😂
Replacing all the hoses was Carlys idea straight off the bat! Perhaps it's not a bad shout.
Sailing Cadoha definitely a pain in the ass job! But one of them Extreme proxy jobs, 1 through hulls and hoses, (anything that can sink the boat)
Superb, when your sailing skills match your excellent drone and vid editing you'll be be flying!!!.... or is that Sailing :) well done you two, you've cracked it and not a click bate shot in sight :) :), Chris, Southampton!!
I'd be happy if my sailing skills simply matched my point and shoot camera skills 😂⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures you're doing great, in your own unique style, most envious, enjoy
great video really well presented and I love Dartmouth too!!
Glad you think so Paul, and it really is quite a special place ⛵️😁
I love the devotion you have for Hank. Really enjoyed the video.
We took him from all he knew as a puppy, we took him from his family, so we're obligated to make sure he has the best life that we can give him 😁
Hank drama was hilariously cute.
You’re doing so well on the learning journey. Brill job 👌🏻
If you’re not doing so already, it’s a good idea to have soft wood bungs attached to each through hull fitting - just in case you need to bung one up in an emergency.
Another wise sea dog gave us exactly the same advice, which we implemented shortly after him sharing with us. We have them hung on strings next to the sea cocks themselves. 👌🏻
Great episode 😁👌Lovely part of the world⛵️
It's pretty special and we're all a little bit smitten with this place!
New subscriber - I already follow quite a few notable sailing channels , & especially appreciate good production quality, hence the follow.. Nice and light hearted too !!
Hello there, welcome aboard, glad to hear you enjoy the videos. We do try and make them as best we can although it's all very much still the midst of a learning curve, along with the sailing skills 😁😁
@@CadohaAdventures You are doing a great job of story telling.... I'm looking forward to following your adventure - Cheers..
The best laugh I have had this month! ....... until the flooding - but then even that turned to laughter again. Stunning videography guys 👍👍👍 Gonna watch this episode again ................... to see Hank of course!
Glad you enjoyed it, Martin and if it puts a smile on anyones face, then it was time well spent making the vid 😬😬⛵️⛵️
@@CadohaAdventures Yes I know well the time it takes to make a video of this quality and I take my hat off to you for some wonderful editing. Time very well spent and for making us all laugh.
I might watch this more than once. Those Instagram Shots were priceless. Nice job!!!
A day isn't a day unless Carly has foraged out her Instagram shot. 😁
Epic drone footage, 👀
Cheers, Adi, glad you liked it 😁
Lovely footage of a lovely place, although I have to say I didn't appreciate the place when I went there as a kid (1971): it wasn't quite as picturesque then.
I should imagine the only thing worse would have been to come back to a space where the boat was, or a mast top ! Glad that wasn't the case.
You really should speak to Dartmouth tourist board about your footage though: it was that good !
Take care and have fun 🌅
Ha ha, yes we're glad we didn't come back to an empty space too
Glad you enjoyed the video, although I struggle to even imagine this place being anything other than stunning, but I'll take your word for it though 😁😳😳
yes that dartmouth entramce was really stunning. your filming is always good nut this time its a record! i adore hank's comments.
Glad you enjoyed coming along for the ride, Angelo 😁😁⛵️⛵️
Brilliant video guys; hope Captain Hank is fully recovered and well done on the piloting Sir; top drawer.
Hank bounced back in no time at all, thankfully and although I feel there's sooooooooooo much room for improvement on the drone flying, I'm glad you enjoyed what I managed to cobble together so far 😁
Congratulations, your drone footage was spectacular - thanks. Hanks one lucky dog to have you as his careers, you were there for him when he needed it.
Thanks, but I think we're super lucky to have Hank, would carry him to the moon if I had to 😁
Best knot to tie a length of line to your mooring device is a "Double Sheet Bend". It does not undo when not under tension and as the main line is thicker, it doubles back on itself so passes through any eyelet on mooring buoys much easier. I started off with a Sheet bend and then made it a double sheet bend, works every time. Reef knots come undone when not under tension and two bowlines is too bulky to fit through some eyelets. Important that the main line (thicker) is the part with the big bend
Appreciate the advice as every day is indeed a school day for us!! 😁😁⛵️
Love your channel guy's but would really love to see more sailing
Ok then, just for you we will put a decent amount of sailing right at the beginning of the next episode, which I'm just about getting on start on now 😁
Good on you Carly that will get the ratio n vs up. You guys are so cool I the face of adversity. Keep up the good work
Careful editing and cutting out all the swearing probably helps create the illusion of being 'cool' under pressure 😬
such an epic episode! definitely my favorite cruising channel. Keep it up guys.
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
I love your survival techniques .... quick honey where sinking get your cloths off . Well done and may you have many more burst pipes
As humans, in many cases, we never know how we're going to react to high stress situations until we find ourselves in them. I always thought it was either freeze, fight or flight..... The jokes on those evolutionary scientists, it turns out there is indeed a fourth option, stripping! 😂
Great video - love the drone work. I have a Mavic 2 Pro on a plastic stick to make it easier to catch. You probably know this, but if you turn it upside down as you catch it, the drone automatically stops. It's easier than trying to use the remote control with your mouth :). You and Uma are my favourites as a few people have commented.
Hey, Steve, glad you liked it. We have tried turning the drone upside down, several times now and it never seems to turn off. I've seen others do it in video and ours just won't shut off, but yes, that would be much easier than using my mouth!! Think we're out of warranty now too 😔
Wouldn’t this make a great tv series to cheer everyone up in these challenging times. Still, in the meantime, at least we have Littlemix choosing the next wannabe pop act on prime time Saturday evening viewing we can all enjoy instead. (did my sarcasm peep through there?). As always great vid from Hank and the 2 supporting crew. Thank you. Mucho enjoy. 😁
Ha ha, strange times. Do people even watch regular TV these days? 😬⛵️⛵️
We always try to visit Dartmouth on our summer cruise, the scenery is spectacular, and you did it justice - great photography 👍
We had the same water problem, my wife went below, and shouted “we’re sinking”. I quickly tasted the water, and was relieved to find fresh water, not salt water. If there’s room, refit the new pipe with two hose clips, as it’s not unusual for the hot water pipe to become detached as it heats up.
Your plastic “mooring buoy threader” - they are a must have, but handle with care, they are fragile and break easily.
Thanks for the heads up, Bob, we'll be sure to take good care of it and I think we'll be going through and refitting a fair few pipes this winter with all new jubilee clips too 😁
Thanks for the great videos ,really enjoying them ,as we are newbies to .
You are moored up virtually same place we were last week and dog walking same route to . When we left dartmouth last saturday morning to get back to topsham ,river exe ,the sea conditions were horrible and a little bit scary in our little 27ft .Stopped off in brixham for a rest for an hour and so we could actually hold a cup of tea still , we may well have passed each other !
If you are still at Dittisham ,highly recommend you try The Red Lion in the village , it doubles as a shop and post office , great nosh and beer , lovely crazy barman ,they have a couple of young dalmatian dogs ,friends for Hank .
Hope hanks leg is better
sure your subscriber list will grow n grow . Happy Travels ,
George n Clare
Glad you guys made it ok. I imagine the sea state would of been bumpy even in a bat twice the size! It certainly didn't look like it'd be a picnic out there for a while. We did visit the pub/ shop you refer to, although only in a grocery shopping capacity, never ventured into the pub for a drink, but certainly may do next time!
Beautiful vid guys,all the best from Whitianga,NZ✌️❤️⛵️
Thanks, Gary. Glad you enjoyed it and hope you are safe and well 'down there' 🍻⛵️
Gorgeous! I now must go there at some point.
Yes, yes you should! 😁⛵️
You two are great fun !!!! some lessons cost more then others....
Always trying to salvage some humour in the 'occasional' mini drama. 😁⛵️
Man that drone footage is amazing. It is great to see places close to home get the proper treatment. And poor Hank :(
More great drone footage. Cheers
Thanks, Jim, glad you enjoyed it 😁⛵️
Ahh what a great episode. Poor Hank X
I know, although on the bright side, he never swallowed the bee! 🙏🏻
The easiest way to ‘catch’ a buoy (pron. ‘boy’!) is to lasso it. Warp on each cleat, out under the pulpit and around the stem, one end in each hand and a big loop between them. Approach the buoy and throw the loop over the buoy. Let it sink and it will catch under the buoy. This is only temporary, but it allows you to hold the yacht close to the buoy while you get a full turn on the eye of the buoy (you need the full turn to ensure the warp doesn’t ‘saw’ on the eye) with the warp you’ll actually use. You can of course leave the loop as a backup. Makes things really easy because all the helm needs to do if get you over the buoy, the the hoop over it and drop back and you’ve caught it 🙂
Flippin heck amazing drone footage.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
I do believe that there is a side note in the RYA survival guide that says that in the event that you need to abandon ship,then strip down to your undies to save weight in the life raft 😂 😇 glad all is well and just a split pipe. Poor hank hope he was ok 👍
Ha ha, I haven't quite made it as far as that chapter then 😂
Hank bounced back and the boat cleared up just fine, not too much of a mega drama, just a bit annoying as no hot showers were had that night, and I smelt terrible by bed time 😳😬😳
Brilliant, going back to my spreadsheets is going to be a real drag.
It's OK, I'll be going back to digging holes and mixing cement soon enough, and will no doubt have many days when I only wished I was in a nice warm, dry office 😂
@@CadohaAdventures Warm , dry office? I wish. Dining room table for me. Working from home is becoming a real drag. That's why videos like yours are so important these days :)
Made my day carrying Hank!
Wish my back could say the same 😂
But we brought him on this journey, so it's our responsibility to make sure he's as looked after as possible 😁😁😁
You three are too funny!
Glad to hear the video made you smile 😁😁⛵️⛵️
Great episode! Wuockly?... Quickly becoming my fave channel. Hoping Hanks foot is ok? He's a legend, you guys are ok too.😊 Stay safe.
Cheers, Gavin, and yes, we're happy that Hank puts up with us enough to stick around, too 😂😬⛵️⛵️🐾
Went there with my daughter some years ago absolutely amazing place!
It really is! It's Harry Potter level British awesomeness 😁😁
Hilarious. Great stuff. Another great video.
Thanks Jason, glad you enjoyed it 😁
New sub! Great footage! I have done the same and emptied 300L of fresh water into my keel boxes! Just replace all the hoses and check your bilge pump float switches! Fair winds!
Sound advice there, Toby and guess what we'll be up to over the winter? 😂
Always a pleasure to watch. Great footage, I hope Hank got over the bee incident. 😀
Hank is a champion and bounced back really quickly, thankfully 😁
@@CadohaAdventures That's good news, A friend of mine is a paramedic and she always has a portion of vinegar in her handbag for bee and wasp stings, she steals the packets from the pub. 😂😂😂
I've watched all your videos, fantastic!! Great to see you at Greenway where I worked as a gardener for nearly 9 years in the 90's. I lived above the old stables. My wife Anne and I now sail from the Exe which, I have to say, just isn't the same as the Dart. Don't know why some people are critical of your sailing skills, you're all doing brilliantly! Hope there is no lasting water damage and hugs for Hank.
Thanks, Andrew, we're certainly doing our best, although we're also our own hardest critics when it comes to our 'sailing skills' too 😂😂
We're keen to explore so many more of these estuaries and rivers along the coast, although the bar has indeed been set pretty high here 😳😳😳
@@CadohaAdventures Well, the world is your oyster! Just take your time and enjoy it all. I actually grew up in North Wales and learnt to sail in the Menai Straits. Very interesting currents to say the least!!!
Thanks for the lesson this week. ;)
My pleasure, one of these days we'll start learning from our own lessons too. 😂⛵️
Outstanding drone videos, well done👏. Few people realize how important drone videos are!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and happy that the drone shots are not too shabby 😬😬😬
You both are brilliant ppl..... so how's our buddy Hankman's foot!!!! Sorry bout the flood!!!! Btw beautiful beginning just stunning!
Thanks, Donna, glad you enjoyed it. 😁⛵️
OMG all that water.....oh how sad. Glad you realised the problem quickly, I always do a taste test....fresh or salt. My friend left his main house battery isolator switch on, by mistake and didn't know and then drove 150miles home. Three weeks later he returned to 6 x massive house batteries totally dead.....0 volts. The cause was the fresh water pump had emptied the small amount of water that remained in the port tank, a dripping galley tap drained it and then ran dry ....so the pump just ran pumping air until it killed 6 x 250 Ah batteries. Good job the bilge pump didn't need to work much during that period !! The batteries were AGM Optima and did recover which surprised me and provided another 5 years of service.
That had to be staged, Hank's got your number. I was thinking "chiggers" and you come up with a bee sting. Sailing with a "good looking genius" cancels out the "stupid stupid". I can well imagine how you felt. Great scenery, like that steam engine running backwards.
Good call! Hank may very well be playing me 😂
