in our last episode we run from tropical

cyclone iris provision to head north

then fix our broken loo okay so what a

hilarious couple of days we have had we

were just about to set off and hit North

we're all provisioned got the toilet

sorted out

and we're sitting here having a bit of

lunch

well actually we weren't sitting here we

were sitting in another Bay all together

having some lunch and we've got this new

thing we've started doing in muddy

bottom the Anchorage's what we do is

we're about to head off we'll pull up a

bit of the anchor chain off the bottom

and let that hang in me in the water and

get cleaned so we're doing that a little

bit over lunch we're just about to take

off and Darren starts winding and puts

his foot on the anchor winch and starts

winding in the last bit of the anchor

well the anger went blue so we've got no

anchor winch we're in a busy anchorage

and we've got boats all around us

and we start dragging obviously because

we've pulled most of the anchor off of

off of the sea floor so I'm up at the

helm and I'm trying to hold serían in in

place and it's blowing about 25 knots at

this stage so it was a bit of a task

well Darren was down below trying to

suss out if we just had a short with the

anchor went or what was wrong with it

yeah we couldn't get it started and

eventually he had to come up and just

hold up the anchor by hand so we took

off to a safe mooring we pick up the

mooring and just about to start

last night pulling off the anchor winch

to suss out what the story with it is

and I go down below the whole cabin is

full of the smell of diesel woman

thinking oh this is not good so have a

look in the engine room

and there's one of the pipes on the

return diesel return valve had shrunk a

little bit with the heat and the hose

clamp had just come loose anyway

diesel all over the engine and a night

spent cleaning that up

good on your back with the anchor winch

off we sit - and pull it apart come on

come on humor me

you know I stood deser Thank You getting

it I can swipe on the top of the skirt

is gonna hang in there you go half a

turn but it is coming mmm come on little

fella you can move come on you got a

chance to soil yeah

unfortunately we have broken off half

the head of one of the really long

screws that goes through down right

through this unit and we're just trying

to get him out patience is a virtue

looking hopeful you got it it's broken

okay

uh-oh

you broke it you broke it you broke it

it's okay no it's not - okay we're

finally at the el winch motor apart and

that's pretty much hair or what I

expected the old brushes are worn out in

it and when you that's a new one that

I've put in I haven't actually fitted

that or haven't sold it in yet but you

can see the old one how much difference

it is it's it's right in that that brush

carrier and what's happened is that the

spring comes down and it pushes on top

of the brush and it's it's it's touching

the carrier so it can't push on the

brush anymore you you couldn't go over

that if you wanted to you could just put

a little bend in the spring or just

grind that up the brush carrier away a

little bit and it would probably get you

gone but generally there's not much in

these little little babies are really

simple oK we've assembled the motor

everything's everything's tested okay

but you ought of seen in a little bit of

footage a week that we break one of the

bolts that actually holds the motor to

the gearbox and how we've actually

overcome that of you we've just used a

bit of this shredded rod which virtually

lies inside the engine like that and

there's a little bit of a slot I'll put

a way that old bolt was broken I've just

run a cut through there with a grinder

so that just pokes through there like

that you can see the nut the nuts on

either end and that's pretty much air we

fixed it the rod cost a few bucks I've

got new brushes in there we've just put

new seals in the gearbox new oil and I

reckon we've fixed it for under 35 bucks

and she's ready to go again

you are and absolute wonder my honey I

surprise myself sometimes so with the

winch fixed it's time to bed it down and

then get sailing off to new destinations

well good morning it's a lovely morning

we are pointing our bow

just pointed a little bit to bottle

making our way to

which is lovely

so it's a bit of a sort of a drizzly

rainy day at the moment

and the last few days the wind

25

birdies and whatnots

we're just moseying on out of the bay

and

actually we're heading to work

almost a year ago

nice

I will do a quick stopover and there we

should be about five or six hours to get

there

currently there's not a dropper wind

but we're hoping once we get out of the

lead

for violent we'll pick up a bit of

breeze so should be nice

yes a runner bearing up to

you're 280

which is almost two West

pulling out the hitties determined we're

going to get some food forward motion

from the

breeze that we're actually making

ourselves

anyway good honor my last island lover

Sylar

radio hopefully we shall catch a bit

more breeze

so then get the

but her often

in tune with nature be good chicken with

you later on

yeah what started off as a rainy all day

with no wind got about 15 knots of

breeze and the Sun just come here

beautiful

Edwards this

we meet the most amazing people as we

travel each living different lives to

the norm or shall I say finding ways to

live their dreams of the lovely group of

folk who came the sheriff farewell

onboard seryan all its sailed to some

extent some out into the Pacific some

from other parts of the world some with

their children and one fine gentleman

who had sailed to Africa on a 28 foot

yacht the stories were tall however all

real and those are the ones I find most

inspirational of all we're very blessed

to meet such down-to-earth people such

humble folk who are simply out doing

what they love thank you beautiful

whitsunday friends we hope to see you

again soon

[Music]

maybe the rinds go

okay so we're just coming in through

Gloucester passage of the minute this is

where we're going to anchor for the

night and it's quite a sort of a thin

little passage and you've got to go

through make your wind your way around

quite a few different little marks

because it's quite shallow this area so

we'll wind our way around this little

island and end up here for the night Oh

Cappy turns on for concentration me

anyway my lover I'm gonna start the

engine just for you yeah I can see

you're getting frustrated better start

the engine

just in case no no see there's some wind

there's ice cream on that beach over

there I see next morning we set sail for

Cape upstart

I'm just trying to stop the auto oiler

working so hard at just what's happening

it's it's good for gow on the Wynwood

where you want to compensate mostly

you're turning factors but it's just

every role with the boat you know it's

not it's trying to compensate it so I'm

just trying to sharpen it up for so much

sharpen it up loosen it up a downwind

sailing fuel Stefano felt the book it

and having a little vibe with a few

settings

so we're sailing through masses of coral

spawn they call it triggered Izmir which

is a good sign the coral are alive and

active

yes oh we've got a bit of a busy time of

it at the minute we're just passing

we're just about to pass a place called

Abbot Point where the big ships come in

and load up with coal and this is us

here and you can see we've got five

ships one two three four five ships sort

of an hour way but we'll just dodge

around them and we're heading over here

we've got about 26 nautical miles to go

to get to cape up start where we're

gonna chill out for the night situated

between Bowen and Townsville on

Australians eastern seaboard Abbott

point cold terminal moves 50 million

tons of coal annually

[Music]

and we've been cruising along for the

first part of the morning and it's just

been beautiful
