We reflect on the lessons learned from our passage around Chicken Rock and the bottom of the Isle of Man, but sadly our cruise around the Irish Sea was coming to an end.

We also discuss how to "build your own riser" if you have to moor up to a harbour wall that lacks risers.

in rough weather this is an absolute

most half item all through the passage

Beverly and I were strapped up with one

of these got one each Beverly was

strapped to the back and I was strapped

into the cockpit using with the use of

hard points and then when we're going

forward we've got lifelines as well but

even in the cockpit these were really

useful to have this was starting from

peel and when we wanted to go to support

Saint Mary because from here our next

passage would be to Liverpool which

would come from here off over this

direction so we'd rather a start from

this side than that side here's part of

the log from yesterday and the winds

were forecast as Northwest release force

three to four occasionally five at first

so in this chart that means the winds

would have been coming in this direction

and we would have been traveling this

direction and the tide tidal stream was

also in this direction so it looked like

an ideal path each we would have an ice

beam reach and we'd have tied ticking a

Stein this way we would not been able to

get through CAF signed because by the

time we got tied here the tides recurve

sound would have been running that way

and there's a lot of tied rips and

whirlpools and things like that and we

couldn't really get in through that we

don't

to try it so we decided to go around the

calf of man under though this area here

has a lot of rips and tides marked in we

decided to skirt outside the marked I'd

zone and come back right in it was going

to add but what the heck

we had the wind and tide behind us so it

looks good and it was right about here

at Brad heads is coming up to Brad ahead

but we changed shifts guy took over from

gainer at this point and it was just as

we passed Brad ahead that the wind did

it shift Rhine from this direction right

to that sort of direction so we were

very much nosing to wind at that point

so we steered as much as we could

outside the means zone right chicken

rock at one point we thought we were

going to have to go down to angle C

because we couldn't see how we could

turn the boat rind to go back to the

Isle of Man but we were lucky we got a

space between two large beers we were

able to turn the boat and then literally

gun the engine and try and run in front

of any waves that were coming in in this

general direction although the line goes

in this general direction we were

actually proceeding back to kappa man

then out this way then back and then

right this way and back which is what

gainin meant when she said I was tucking

under engine we busy ran a zigzag course

up here keeping the nose or the stern of

the boat into the wind as much as

possible because it was right about this

point over here that we nearly broached

twice and that was a very very scary

moment we were very very glad to see the

diving boat which joined us round about

here just off Spanish head and here

company does the rest of the way into

port st. Mary and it was very very

welcome just to have the company

tomorrow's forecast is supposed to be

good so the phone is to leave port sit

Mary come all the way across the RSC

joined a Queen's channel and then into

Liverpool and sadly that will be the end

of this particular series the end of our

our ec adventures and we would have

learned a lot about ourselves in

saltiness and we'll be starting the

refit for the spring cruises but that's

the end of this particular little

adventure so

I feel the guy said what you need to do

is when it doesn't have Rises you can

create your own so that's what we've

done here we tied a rope around the

bottom of the rise and we've also got it

just tied up on the top and then what

we've got here is we're actually tied up

and we're just using it as a riser yeah

so you can see the Rope that as at the

top of the tide that's our riser Bev and

I will adjust that in a few minutes we

were murd in the outer harbor against

the wall because the Inner Harbor dried

out Amazon is suitable for build keel

boats the birds chase day with supports

Aunt Mary soon to be closed even the

good luck take away we had some bad luck

with because it had decided to close in

this particular maturity in the end we

brought some groceries from the local

co-op took them back to salty lassen had

dinner there instead next day dawned

bright and cleared the forecast is right

for once and we were able to see our

friends through autumn and diving

charters bring their boat in and give a

lovely display of Haida duck

[Applause]

and they're going to be unloading

just by refer to us

[Music]

and then it was time for us to say

goodbye to the Isle of Man we enjoyed it

immensely but it was time just begin the

long trek back across the heresy or

fortunate ripple but at least we had

nice weather

all the rest of them

after all the

- we went through yesterday this is just

absolute perfect and hopefully the sales

will be going up soon
