early skip a bit chilly today yeah right
my study winds I'm gonna be too bad we
see off to hopefully Newtown for lunch
yeah then the excitement starts around
about 3:30 this afternoon where we
thread our way you know that proverbial
expression the temple through the eye of
a needle this is the nautical equipment
it's in Judah through shallow water yeah
blunt needle we are aren't we what's it
called Hurst point got up behind Hearst
Castle
yeah we've discovered a pub we're
telling about the landlord a bit later a
bit anxious folks about this caravans
gritty that are a big concern for my
safety
TripAdvisor reviews of an angry man
upsetting his clients we're gonna go and
see if this is true or not we'll put the
record straight if it's not we will yeah
right
it's fairly low tide and I haven't put
my instruments on so before the man up
top tries to run points out this I'm
going to go below and find us some
instruments
splendid November not bad
but there's a
pretty significant place repassing right
there are just a bug though so back
yeah there are two boats wide which
tends to be a little bit cleaner
slightly longer slightly nicer
this one was carefully tucked quite with
this one with the ground
very quiet levels of havoc with the
smooth way of
as it went to grab no panics and we were
told that it was there to system failure
multiple pipes and valves and bleeding
systems that have been football but I
will leave it to the skipper to explain
what actually happened
I run aground now I didn't I run out of
fuel ran out of fuel
thought it was my fuel filters but it
turns out was my fuel gauge that was
faulty chips him up over there
so yeah ran out of fuel turns out my
fuel level float meter is kaput
not my fault all basically
skipper Oliver has got it's got some new
gear in it you know he likes to face
gear he loves his double handkerchiefs
in his various pockets by the way is so
mild in November now we have maybe we're
just stripping off here but I'll show
you what I don't you can talk about them
so I've got this very expensive pair of
boots called Du Barry which the heels
came completely off after about five
years and Du Barry refused to do
anything about the mother that give me
10% discount off a new pair so we looked
around at others this is Brad
coordinated with my jacket ever found
with the trousers and the lightweight
jacket my nice shirt so the brand
corporation you'll notice the lovely
little
I cocked here but look these are
brilliant
they're almost like skiing booze you can
adjust this however tight or loose you
want and you've got a quick pull on here
which is fantastic it's already
waterproof like that but to double
waterproof it but so that on this boat
cushy need him pretend to go so slow and
always so far away from any water but
look about you see it's brilliant at
their best of all excuse my butt
hurry up
another modeling fashion show Oliver
coordinated or we got red pants up
so here's the plan
at the mouth of Beauty River we're going
to say our Southwest to Newtown Creek
the Newtown Creek we're going to drop a
hook somewhere outside the entrance
where we must stop for a bite to eat
we're then after lunch gonna head off to
60 degrees ending up at the mouth to key
Haven now key Haven is very tired
restricted you can probably see here
that a place is we have no more than
North Point 4 meters of tide above chart
datum so we need to get the tiger right
well then feel our way down the creek
around this shoehorn at the bottom and
we're going to anchor or pick up a boys
somewhere in the middle here later on
that evening it'll be dark but with
plenty of torchlight or get in a dinghy
and we'll head on up the creek feeling
our way through the shallows they're
getting a short key Haven at the heart
here hunting down gun in I'll tell you a
bit more about this place sure
Dave before you are before you pull up
coffee coming over look at this
starboard side
the orbits are look at the
three new flicked red navigation boys on
the Beauty River getting in and out on a
dark night was always tricky even that's
gonna help support tickets
that's what it's about
you can create in the distance
sorry what was that I'm impressed how
tidy you've done it's almost like you've
just under new year's resolution I'd
have done what well show you the viewers
I've never seen this place ever look
tidy but look at that all that food
neatly stacked away it's amazing I have
to tell Rachel she didn't be proud of
you
you're a troublemaking asteroid a
Bolivar no no no no you're a
troublemaker Oh terror
gotta say for a November bad weather
this is pretty warm so we just come
around the spit first point trek down
here you can see the castle over there
this little spot
tell us about the because you read the
TripAdvisor ratings of a gun in say too
much just bleep it we looked at the
TripAdvisor cos the skipper on this trip
has made one or two it could be
suggested errors I'll get him to talk
about tide calculations momentarily but
he was ranting and raving over this new
pub we'd never been to called the gun
and when we looked at the TripAdvisor
reviews it has to be said it's the only
pub I have ever seen reviews off where
no one comments on the food or the deck
or or the waiter or waitress but instead
the bulk of the reviews were about the
horribly abusive landlord why would you
ever go there said one TripAdvisor
review so it's our intention to go there
undercover a bit like the Panama papers
and we're going to confront the landlord
after we've got a meal oh no one can
spitting it we're going to confront the
landlord with these kind of our paper
equivalents that's what we're going to
do well at least we're going to find out
for ourselves whether there's merit in
the comments
man this is good hey November pitchblack
it's very late it's got to be at least
six o'clock good we are great just don't
hang up we haven't got
good let's light this clip there's a
great boy AHA dream boy
so this is a do not land here Jessie
that we've discovered so the gun in it
was built in the 1700s it's been a pub
most of its life but not only that it
was a baker's once it was even a
mortuary apparently it used to be very
popular among the soldiers of Hearst
Castle and even though these soldiers
had their own tavern this is where they
would like to visit
they said they preferred the brew and
the sight of the local wenches hmm
verdict on the food pretty modest menu
to be honest just 5 to 6 pub classics
tasted good slightly overcooked very
nice atmosphere very warm very friendly
staff landlord was absent was written in
that pub in that pub I think actually
rather nice lady services it was alright
very careful to watch out for what we
wanted all that food was a bit mediocre
yeah one thing with now is they had 230
different whiskeys yeah we didn't try
one no really might go easy
how'd you know I'm gonna
like
so we're alive we made it back alive if
you look at his face it's quite white
folks take a look dazed quiet it's some
several reasons that we met a man in the
story did the story of the pup whose
story was so long it was worse than the
abusive landlord we had to get out and
so we did a quick care please not much
sorry Nick if you're watching this I
highlight you yeah production mode I'll
give you a production Mochis summary
it's cold it's dark it's a very long
journey only to discover to our horror
when we got there what Showground
I mean it's about 300 yards from the
nearest bit strip there are some people
embrace adventure and some people were
just winded Elish so I took my shoes and
socks off
pushed us out of the mud we got in in we
got a home it was all so easy no we're
here trying to think game of cards that
you can play with two people but neither
of us can remember again McCarthy you
can play with two people playing rummy
or something rummy cover I'm calling it
I think that's a tyre game I think this
is Rami I'm not sure so anyway Dave
taught me how to play it we played two
games so far I really do I learn it's
been close on both at the stories no but
the stories about you and your
underpants of the doctor this morning
really quite disturbing I can't get my
brain straight on the game you know
talking about serious life issues and
you're trying to fudge you went through
some trivial little card
repair needed and having a little
consultant consider what the hitch
options were and he sent me behind the
curtain and he said you just drop your
trousers and your underpants mr. o bets
which I did standing out cough and all
that and insisted on just having a
regular conversation with me while my
trousers and underwear around my knees
it's just the most strange unnatural
situation I've ever been in I think
anyway I'm gonna go home we know another
game last job we went out on Cool
Runnings you can be very glad I did
never camera his head's blocked and we
ended up anchoring up nice news with
lights I do remember and we had to empty
we had to unclip the bottom of his
holding tank and the contents of the
holding tank flooded the whole of the
floor in the heads have to tell about
holding tank use the organ tank is where
all of your waste
human waste is stored after you've been
to the laboratory
gallons of it solid matter and so he
said Dave we need to sort my tank out
and we anchor up and do this is like 10
o'clock at night and so we under we
answered this thing at the bomb and it
just floods the place honestly so he
said today we need to sort this out
wait a minute and he stripped down to
his underpants I'm sorry but he's
affected me so badly so I've got this
vision of him in his underpants nothing
else flopping around in this stuff
passing me buckets of it tip over the
side and he can something it went on for
hours to save yourself
