- An autumnal chill descending upon Maine prompts me to complete the installation of the diesel heater I began back in May. And then it is time to turn her snout south before the onset of winter ...

Sea shanty’s!! Marvelous!
The sea shanty music is great, nice touch there. DIY Dodger looking clean on the water! Cozy with heat. Good stuff.
That’s an understatement Kevin, “still afraid to have fire inside the boat”, that one made me laugh buddy.
I'm always disappointed when your videos end, great to see another one. You are definitely in your element at sea.
great show! A nice run to tarpaulin.
I’ve had a Dickinson diesel heater on my boat for 23 years and no problem.
Good to hear that, Rich!
Another good episode. Thanks.
Yes….it is cooling off here in Annapolis also!
Have a good sail friend stay salty.
Great heaters. Used one in NYC for 3 winters. I used a squirt of alcohol as I turned on the diesel. Worked very reliably. Also built a heat exchanger that encased the exhaust from the heater up to the cabin roof. It pulled air from the bilge (to keep it circulated) and blew it in the heater exchanger at the roof, down along the exhaust, and out just above the heater. Kept the inside air fully circulated, and added a few degrees to the cabin. The heater also keeps the cabin moisture down.
I appreciate how you use the old-school chart view of your route in this video, really helps to feel where you're at.
Thank you for introducing me to The Longest Johns, perfect alignment to your videos.
Another vote for the sea shanty, and yeah, that CO detector needs to go low..fair winds..👍😎
CO is lighter than air.
@@knot4man I'm a victim of the myth and you are correct sir, and learning has taken place here today! Thank you. I will forgive my high school chemistry teacher. 😁
We’ll wave to Jackson Creek for you tomorrow as we anchor on our way south. We have the Dickenson Newport heater. I tried the tissue drop (at first) but for the last 28 years I just use an old fashion normal wood kitchen match. Engulf the match with fire drop in and forget. Clean out debris every four months or so with vacuum. It actually lights easier with carbon debris on the bottom. I actually light it while I’m still flooding. Gets to be second nature even half asleep. What a wet summer in Maine worst in ten trips. Thankful for our trusty reliable Dickerson!
Had on for 3 winters in NYC. Best kit ever.
I used dowel rod dipped in diesel to light heater, biggest flaw with mine was fuel continued to flow when flame went out.
Great stuff mate, you will love that little heater 👍
Looking forward to the voyage. Fair winds and following seas
Your videos are always enjoyable. Thanks for sharing
Chillin’
Ah! Old Liverpool song.
Warmes my heart as an old Liverpool FC fan (soccer).
Cheers from Danmark 🍻
This will be good.
I did't hear you join in with your crew on the shanty, but it was a nice addition. I hope that you win your race.
The juxtaposition of your essay and the practicality of and skill in sailing make this a favorite.channel.
Thanks.
amazing, keep boat warm and dry
So looking forward to see you sail south for the season .

Another wonderful episode!
Thank you!
You’re awesome and inspirational.
Has anyone noticed that Captain Boothby's music choices drift a bit depending on what kind of sea he is sailing in? There's something about being in the northern climes that seems to have brought out the irish sea shanties. Very cool!
Elisa Lee was likely adopted. The chorus is about tracks and bulgine, so it was likely sung by track layers. Bulgine apparently is an American slang term for a railway engine.
@@bakters Good background thanks!
Those heaters are so popular on the West coast of Canada. But where I am on the East Coast... well we head down to Maine to escape the cold lol.
And we Mainers head to the Caribbean lol. Great to see Wave Rover taking shape. Now get back to work ...
I did buy your shirt. A waitress with a Anker tattoo on her arm complimented it, so I had to tell your CZcams story and hopefully she'll star following you too. Great video
Thanks for the support!
A great surprise to see you today as we took a spin through Hadley's. Always enjoy your videos!
Surprised by how long you've gone sans heater and dodger. Maybe not necessary but really changes the comfort while sailing and anchoring. This is one of my top 5 YT channels btw.
Love those shanty! You are going to love that heater. They work great! Safe and easy.
Looks like a cozy boat now!
Indeed!
Kevin, I’m glad to see you are using the stamp logo on your coffee cup. Sail safe! Phil
A proper coffee mug is essential equipment.
Dodge Morgan's book "The Voyage of the American Promise" is a very good read, it's a well written account of his epic non-stop journey sailing around the globe...
Fantastic new additions Captain. Doghouse and heating. You must be aging. Ask me how I know.... 😂. But seriously, those items alone will have you smiling for years to come. Loved the shanty too.
Nice
Kevin safe passage back to Florida. Can't wait to see your plans once you arrive.
Livin the. dream, ty again for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by.
haul away!
Ahoy from landlocked Tennessee. Glad to see you on the move...wish I was.
I am an envious New Englander. I am planning my hall out and digging out my fleece lined jeans. Be safe and enjoy the next journey!
Smoke detector installs high. Carbon monoxide detector should be low as CO is heavy. I would suggest a battery plug in style detector. Can you get at the fuel line to the carb? A 1/4" inlet, inline fuel filter work great.
Carbon dioxide is heavier than air. Carbon monoxide is lighter than air.
Ouch! They announced today an anchor set by a boat may have ruptured the coastal pipeline in CA. From the discription of the whole it sounds right at 90ft.
Kevin, it looks like you've escaped the start of what promises to be a very long, cold, Maine "Wintah" this year. The cold is rushing in faster than usual and here in the Downeast region, everyone is hauling out as soon as possible. Our daily ambient temperatures are already well below what is the minimum for using epoxy resins unless you are in a climate controlled shop. My boat building efforts are now limited to jobs not requiring the use of epoxy. It won't be long before I won't be able to use other marine adhesives that cure down to 40 degrees and I'll be wrapping the hull in prep for the coming heavy snows and Nor'easters. I too, wish I was getting the Hell out of Dodge! Fair winds and following seas as you head for warmer climates.
Thanks for making me feel correct in my decisions. Those Maine wintah's would be way too much for my little heater, of that I'm sure. On the other hand, with proper heat, spending the winter building a boat is not bad either ...
@@howtosailoceans1423 they would be, I live aboard up here year round and I have both a espar rip off forced hot air and a Dickenson bulkhead diesel heater and neither will keep it comfy by itself (both are imo undersized for the boat, but make a great team) if it wasn't for work I'd be heading south with yah lol and BTW Padanaram is pronounced closer to "paint nair ham" got to love the names around there
History only remembers the first.
I think it’s fair to say none of the competitors in the Golden Globe race gave two shits about it, they all just wanted to go down in history as being the first person to sail non stop single handed around the world, and Knox Johnston did just that. The fact he was the only one to finish shows just why a monumental feat is was.
Hey Kevin, CO is heavier then air, get that alarm near the floor. By the time is goes off where it is you’ll be long time dead. We can’t have that.
Did not know that!
Actually, CO2 is heavier then air. CO is about the same (molecular weight 28) actually slightly lighter then both Oxygen (molecular weight 32) and Nitrogen (molecular weight 28). In short, a carbon atom is lighter then an oxygen or nitrogen atom.
Actually molecular weight is only part of the story. CO is lighter than air but not by much and it tends to mix very evenly in the closed space. This is aided by convection from the heater. The location you have is fine for that reason.
Ok, so, get a domestic canary bird.
@@jampasritalon4180 Huh.. didn't know that either. I was under the decade-long impression to ''put smoke detectors high, and gas detectors low''... the more you know ! ;)
I usually ran my diesel heater on low or just above low. I did not want to heat up the chimney and cabin top too much.
Indeed, initially I gave it way too much fuel and was worried the bulkheads would melt, or catch fire. On the lowest setting it puts out plenty of heat, I find.
Is that an Alberg 30 your friend Chris is sailing? Beautiful boats, yours and his.
Alberg 35.
I have a Dickinson Newport, that is mostly the same. I use some bio-ethanol ~25ml to get it going. Only when it is at temperature, I open the diesel valve. I aways burn it as lean and low as possible. No problems so far but I am treating the stove with the heaps of respect.
I’ll post this here since there seems to be some confusion. Lifted from the EPA website.
“Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling. Do not place the detector right next to or over a fireplace or flame-producing appliance. Keep the detector out of the way of pets and children. Each floor needs a separate detector. If you are getting a single carbon monoxide detector, place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to wake you up”
Thanks for doing the research, seems to be a variety of opinions on this matter.
Hello to you both, yes there are many "opinion" on this topic.
As this safety standards on boats is part of my job I have research this extensively ove the past decades.
A few things to keep in mind.
The EPA contradict the NFPA on this topic.
Co is slightly lighter than O2... at certain temperatures, at other temperatures it is slightly heavier.
So think of Co as possibly floating higher or lower depending on this.
Think about the effect of CO in your blood, it will make you slightly dizzy or sick or sleepy, you can recognize these conditions when you are alert and act on them but if you are sleeping CO will make certain you do not wake up.
These little heater are great I had the diesel version my current one burns solid fuel (wood). Always leave a port opening slightly cracked open or such. CO comes for poor combustion so make certain to have a roaring fire in the stove.
I "suggest" to my clients that they have a Co detector (in working condition!) opposite the galley away from the heater so in your case that would be aft to port about head level when you are sitting and one lower than a sleeping sailor's head.
When O2 is nice and toasty it will rise right up against the deckhouse isolating a CO detector on the ceiling.
nice diesel heater. I've been living with mine full time live a board for 20 odd years. Soon, after you get tired of chipping off carbon from the bottom of the evaporation dish, you'll discover fire starter cubes. They don't leave residue in the burning box. Light a chunk, drop it into the dish, turn the fuel knob just to open, on the first notch, and let it rip... Simple... Make sure you have adjusted the flame down to a modest purr on dead low... Brilliant. I sold my last boat and took the heater with me to this boat.
Thanks Colin! Yes, that's already a problem. The ash is insidious, gets all over everything.
Enjoy Padanaram. Treat yourself to a coffee frappe at Farm and Coast just off the bridge.
Do you race when your cruising = Only if there's a nother sail on the Horizon . That heater will make winter cruising a hole lot better as you age .
Hi Kevin, your the most honest youtuber(sail) alive. Gives me hope! I may be wrong and probably am but I think the co2 sensor needs to be lower than your bunk as it fills the cabin from the bottom up. I think it's nicknamed the blanket of death... best of luck!!!
right on, brother! or should I say starboard ahoy, mate?
Ancient technology........ I've lived with diesel (oil) heaters like this. They were common in rural areas back in the '60's.
collective noun for more than one boat was never a flotilla but always a race all be it a "nice friendly race" lol
My furler solved all of my bulgine problems. ;-) Just kidding; have no idea what that is, but don't tell me, or I'll have to go out and buy one.
Patrick, haha I think Kevin did a "Patrick on you" The Bulgine Run is a Judy Collins song -off for my first sail across the pond in a couple of weeks covid permitting and v excited.
My understanding is that "bulgine" was a sailor's word for a small steam "donkey" engine they would use to load/unload cargo during the late days of sail (the bulgine would power a winch for lifting the heavy cargo).
Met Dogde’s ex-wife over drinks on Big Chebeague at the Inn in 2019. Remarried a nice fellow with a house there.
haul away mate
You need to look into getting a heat powered stove fan to go with that nice stove.. They don't cost much and don't use electricity. There's ones that clamp right to the chiming pipe.
I've seen those, a good idea. One problem is that all the heat just rises up to the top of the coach roof, a fan would help blow it toward my feet.
Oh ...That type of heater has been used in homes for 80 years or more I have served many of them, you will need to clean the soot from the burner each year a vacuum and brush is all it takes.
Great video. Would like to know more about the heater.
Sig 100, now made by Dickinson Marine.
hey Kevin please check the placement if you co detector is it required to be placed low to catch pooling
Sweet heater. It burns diesel and kerosene both, correct? Off topic: Would love to hear you impressions of the Contest 31 you grew up on sometime.
It will burn diesel, kerosene, or heating oil. I loved the old C31. They cut some corners on the construction, but otherwise a great boat.
Did you install your CO2 detector on the ceiling? I thought it should be near the floor, since that gas is heavier than air? Or am I wrong? If I am right, you have no protection if you sleep below any cracks in the companionway.or other ventilation.......
There's been a lot of discussion about this. The EPA website says that CO detectors can be mounted on the wall or the ceiling, as CO is slightly lighter than air, but will tend to mix with all of the other gases.
Thanks Kevin. That heater is a little cutie. I have to ask, where is Ruth Avery’ s ships bell?
On the end of the dodger. So far I haven't collided with it in any serious way ...
Love the shanty! But don’t drop your own strings please, I love them even more! Fair winds and following seas .
Great vid...too damn cold up there...keep coming south. You cruising past Solomon Is?
Hoping to make Deltaville next weather window ...
Did you try the ear bud in the drill with metal polish for the carb? Just run it in the neddle seat and it cleans it nicely, I ordered a new carb after struggling with the old one then I tried this trick and it works great now ,bonus got new carb as a spare
Stay tuned ...
i went to high school with dodge's son hoyte
I would have the alarm at bunk height as CO2 is heavier than air...or am I missing something?
Didn't know that. The alarm is easy to remove, so I can place it lower when using the heater. Of course if there is any wind outside there will be drafts in the boat, which circulate any CO as well.
Nice heater. Will be toasty and dry. I have one plumbed into my onboard diesel but want to install a smaller tank. Did you gravity feed yours? Or do you have a pump from tank to heater?
Gravity feed. I use an oil syringe to prime it.
I know what you mean! It’s unsettling just watching you light that fire in your boat. Is there other alternatives for heat like maybe a battery powered one that you can somehow charge when your running your motor?
Yes, electric heaters are probably the best, but for a small yacht it means you have to be connected to shore power.
Very nice installation. The chimney topside makes me nervous. Do you plan a railing for protection?
Just seeing how it works out ... so far the staysail sheet has not taken it overboard.
Hows the smell ?
Not much odor, can only smell a little smoke.
Looks like the heater should break in just fine..!! ✅ Oh, the boat race at the end.??
Who cares about THAT Anyway 🤷🏻♂️ it’s just a boat race 🤔 Good place to end the video... I guess.
Boat races matter ... it's a guy thing.
Is having a CO/CO2 detector on the ceiling a good idea? Both gases are heavier than air and would collect at the cabin sole.
You’re probably thinking about propane. That’s heavier than air. CO isn’t.
Several people have noted that. Well the alarm slides on and off its mount, so I can place it lower when using the heater ...
How is the hard dodger working out?
Love it so far, especially as I get used to it (i.e. don't bump my head on it).
I'm sure this has been said, The deadly gases that you speak of, are heavier than air, alarms should be lower than your head.
CO is slightly lighter than air, according to the US EPA.
R.................
I think the proper spelling is "ahhrr".
@@howtosailoceans1423 "ahhrr"............
Fair winds man you did it.......iam jealous....maybe next year i can go south
A real pirates retired
Oh no! burning fossil fuel on a sailboat? that's a shame.. Why not wood?
Hated the music.
