In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we explain why we put this in our fuel tank. There's a very good reason why we put this in our fuel tank, it is to eliminate the possibility of any diesel bug developing in the tank and clogging our fuel filters which would eventually cause our engine to stop running. #SailingABSea A brief history of our story and in depth personal blogs that bring you along on our journey can be found at https://www.absea.com.au/ GET MORE WITH PATREON - https://www.patreon.com/SailingABSea FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK - https://web.facebook.com/SailingABSea/ READ OUR BLOGS - https://www.absea.com.au/blogs PICS ON INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/sailingabsea/ Discover Aannsha's 'Mermaid's Treasures' and 'Neptune's Bounty' gift ideas here - https://www.absea.com.au/mermaid-s-treasure-store Still photos and videos are shot using the Canon EOS M3 with either the EF-S 18–55mm IS STM lens or the EF-M 55–200mm IS STM lens.

it's now four o'clock in the afternoon

we're just approaching the eastern

end of the islands of keckover and we

are 20 30 minutes away from dropping

anchor in smugglers

[Music]

all right

yeah thank you

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

woof

at least the sails get a good airing

[Music]

so

[Music]

okay

[Music]

it's now four o'clock in the afternoon

we're just approaching the eastern

end of the islands of keckover and we

are about 20 30 minutes away from

dropping anchor in smugglers it started

out

pretty okay we actually got the sails

out and had seven nuts but

unfortunately once we turned in this

westerly direction the wind was totally

against us

and uh we tried to keep the mainsail out

to

give them a bit of stability and also

give us a little bit of extra

speed but at the end of the day the wind

was just so much on the nose it was

totally useless

so we've been motoring for i would say

the last

two two and a half hours it'd be nice to

get in and drop anchor

in smugglers the waves and the wind

haven't been too bad

it's just that we've been beaten into it

um it'd be nice to

drop anchor though and just stop for the

night

and then tomorrow of course back to cash

and

thanks to chris for giving us these he

also gave us some

stubby holders yeah thank you that was

really kind of you

yep yep they look good they look good

and we know who the boss is

[Laughter]

[Music]

do

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah just the actual the snubber doesn't

feel very tight but it is tight because

the changes

we just enjoying a lovely evening

in the cockpit we've just eaten all the

olives and the cheese

barry's eating sour patch lollies that's

bad isn't it

but we just want to show you our

surroundings because it's

so pretty isn't it so quiet it's

relaxing

it's so quiet and

the joke's the position between now at

this particular anchorage

and what it would be like six weeks from

now

it's amazing it'll be so

busy here that people will have to drop

anchor and tie back to shore because

there's been no room to swing

right now we just dropped our anchor in

the middle of it all

right because there's only one other um

boat here it's catamaran

yeah and we're far enough away from it

that they haven't gone

way so close

anyway let's just show you a 360 degree

angle

and you can see for yourselves enjoy

[Music]

the moon is just about to go down behind

those hills there

and this is what sunrise looks like at

the wonderful smugglers

anchorage at keckover and the sun just

coming up

behind the hills of the little island

previously when we were here we've seen

at least two or three boats

anchored and tied back here and

quite a few over here and lots

along here when you are anchoring just

keep an eye on your charts

because there are many submerged rocks

and

the depth generally is quite good but in

places it can't get a bit shallow

first

[Music]

it's covered in mud big watching do you

want to dangle it down and i'll drive it

i'll drive it off

yeah yeah and i'll get some speed up

i think i'm gonna have to um scrape it

off okay

so

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

yeah looks like a baby

it's also got stuff on the back of my

fishing

[Music]

so

[Music]

there was a forecast for rain today 74

chance of rain in this area and on the

way down

the outside of keckover and she had some

thunder and i felt that wind

that comes before rain and we saw rain

out

behind us to the east so just as a

precaution we've got our wet weather

gear on

we're probably not going to get rained

on but i'd rather have the gear on

before the rain comes if it does come

because it's not something you just slip

slip on real quick you know it takes

five or ten minutes to get your gear on

and

make sure it's fitted right we are about

uh an hour and a half

away from cache and all around us

to the west and the east

and the north there are lots of

grey looking clouds out to the south

looks fabulous

but we're not going that way and she's

been captaining today

she's got the wrong cat on

it's good to to put andrew behind the

wheel and make her

make the decisions going through gaps

and stuff because

i've enjoyed it you've got to have it

yeah but i've actually enjoyed it

because

yeah and the more you do it the more you

realize you can do it yeah i'm actually

glad we've got these

valleys on because i was getting a bit

chilly yeah it is cool it's a nice extra

layer

and the one finger that's gone numb

anyway

is that one and that one doesn't have a

little finger thing on it

we only got a little bit wet a few uh

showers nothing much

now we're back in the channel we've come

around the tip of the peninsula back

into the channel heading into

cash marina we're gonna go in for fuel

because this will be the first time

we've had fuel since we've

arrived here way back in august so

presumably the tank's about half empty

i'm going to top it right off and i'm

also going to put 200 mils of biocide in

to well just because it kills all the

bad stuff that might grow in there

if you don't put the stuff in so put it

in

[Music]

we have a 200 liter diesel fuel tank we

just put 72 liters into it which is a

little bit less than i

expected i expected it to be closer to a

hundred liters but 72 liters is good and

she's just paying now

with the card and then we can uh reverse

down to our birth on beef on two now

radio the marineros

to come and tie on our line at the bow a

good trip

welcome back thank you

[Music]

okay so the time is 12 35.

uh we're back in cash loads up with

diesel yep

buyer side we're all good so time to

put the boat back together for not

moving

tidy all these lines away and then guess

what you've got to do

have a cup of tea and then what have you

got to do have a shower

no put the boat to bed edit

oh yeah it's tuesday and we got to look

after the patrons

yes because we've got to upload tonight

so they get it a few days before

everybody else on a saturday

yeah so that's our trip to

finicky and a little stop at keck over

all done and dusted

yeah and um the next big trip is

in the direction of istanbul we'll see

how far we can get

given the winds but first we're going to

get the alternative service through the

idea we are going to do that as well

just to be sure to be sure because

that's the last thing really that hasn't

been looked at
