Our old 1950's sewing machine was a monster who loved eating anything you put under its foot. It was time to swap it out for something much more practical - so after much research and pondering we took a gamble - and bought a REX.

The REX is a copy of the famous SAILRITE - and it had received mixed reviews, as with other copy models (New-Tech, Family Sew, Strongarm) however we took the gamble and ordered one.

Typically, we put it to the test on one of the tougher jobs one can do - sail repair. Did we have a win? Did we buy a dud? Watch and see...

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!

last week we took you exploring

beautiful border island and de la reine

islet which sits slightly to the north

of famous whitehaven beach we had been

sussing out some caves back at borders

so climbed up to see what we could find

with final preparations for our next

cruising season almost complete we're

now waiting for our new sewing machine

to arrive we had heard that South Moore

Island had been fairly devastated by a

previous cyclone so we took a few days

out to relax and see what we could find

[Music]

it's pretty steamy this time of year so

our first port of call after a short

sale was to head to a quiet little beach

for a swim

[Music]

we consider ourselves very lucky to have

found the way to be able to live this

life to spend so much time in nature and

enjoying what our amazing planet has to

offer

[Music]

this beautiful view is from unsafe

message over to whitsunday and Hawk

islands in the central with sunday group

[Music]

[Applause]

nature can get a bit challenging at

times and dialing up some mighty storms

a cyclone had passed through this area

and we were keen to see how one of the

abandoned resorts had feared

after some lunch we headed back to shore

southmore resort sits at the northern

end of south mole island the Aboriginal

people discovered bowls attics stone

here which made for sharp cutting tools

they call this island were river for

this reason

[Music]

school's over this country I really nice

to walk along the beach from we were

anchored up it and we're gonna go and

check out South Lowell resort they cut

bold in the cyclone apparently so doctor

walking chase on this hill and we'll see

which one takes us there

[Music]

so we're walking one of the tracks on

South Mall and it's just beautiful and

we're going to walk around to the old

resort and see what's left of it after

the cycling but what a gorgeous view you

have from here you feel like you're

almost on the edge of the world

[Music]

[Music]

it's a nice spot I think we're in a

better spot back in the late 20s

craziest took over then eventually it

changed hands again in the early 40s

when it began life as a resort for

everyday families with basic

accommodation a golf course restaurant

Paul and plenty of water-based

activities visitors could walk the many

tracks around the island enjoying the

spectacular views from a loft

you wouldn't want to be in the front

rice sleep well for debut in cheeto

sorry okay no well yeah what a mess of

destruction

look at the dedi like a pilot must have

gone well it's an old jetty it's from

the 70s yeah they must have been a fair

pair of waves coming through here it's

amazing all crumpled up

[Music]

[Music]

yes sir that was a

that was the main area of South morale

resort which I think was quite a big

resort back in the day and then the 70s

kind of a backpacker a family resort and

unfortunately she's been bowled by

Debbie so hopefully she'll get made into

it a nice brand-new resort for everyday

folk and some day in the future but what

a beautiful outlook

[Music]

you know they're sitting here

come in you're in the laconic you know

don't you see look at this it's a button

[Music]

just an absolute beautiful walkthrough

like

I'm fluffy looks like Dez is gonna be up

for a swim to go and get the dinghy

Ronnie I

I think you might be up for a swim my

honey

and these in

[Music]

okey-dokey so I have been waiting for a

shipment to come in and it's the omnia

stovetop oven and yeah it's made in

Sweden and it's a little mini oven

apparently this magic little item will

cook breads and brownies and baking sort

of stuff and casseroles and quiches and

anything that you can cook in the oven

and unless your amount of time and use

less gas

so as we don't often get to fill up on

guests regularly because we're tipping

off to places that don't sell gas in the

near future I'm trying to reduce our

usage and this guy's going to do the job

so how it works basically it comes in

three parts so this part is made of

stainless steel and it sits on your hop

and this container is what you cook your

food in so you've got three part the hog

heats up and creates heat in the bottom

and the heat the food sitting in here

and the heat comes up through this part

here and gets trapped in the lid and

also sort of disperses out of these

little holes around the side of the oven

so I excited and I just been prepping a

few bits I'm gonna make a potato and

sure it's so sort of kishi number except

I don't even have after it so I've got

salami but yep typical yachting style we

make do with what we've got on board and

we'll give it a go see how we go

so I've got salami actually that I've

cooked off to give it a little bit of

crispy and I also cooked off some

potatoes and and then getting a bit of a

fry up in some herbs to give them a bit

of flavor II crispy thing we've got some

red capsicum I don't think six eggs is

going to really be enough anyway and

then I'm gonna add a little bit of spit

up just just give it a bit of salty

whoosh

I definitely don't have enough eggs this

could be like a half-baked concept

anyway I'll stop being more stuff and

see how we go okay so what I've got in

here is salami and cooked off potato and

some red capsicum and some feta so

hopefully I'll have enough eggs to cover

that all we definitely don't we thought

I needed one more but anyway okay

or elevators I know your will my love

you're very good rut you have nothing

left so the instructions say that you

hate the stainless steel base for two

and a half hour sorry for three minutes

and then you plunk your meal on top and

cook away so that's not very interesting

[Music]

okay 18 seconds there's a lot of heat in

it I didn't see how that would work

all right thank you okay

Mickey I'll put this on

okay so then another minute and then we

sort of turn it down to just about above

medium I will turn it down a bit and

then how long about 17 minutes cuz

normally it would take about 40 minutes

or 50 minutes okay so we shall see if so

I think I've got six minutes to go

and I wish I could have like a little

viewing panel so I could see what was

going on in there but um yeah it's

certainly a lot of heat created to miss

it it is a little compact oven you can

really feel it

and it smells you can hear it sort of

bubbling away and you can smell this

lovely food which is great and hopefully

I've just managed to sort of keep it at

the right temperature to stop the eggs

from burning it's a bit of a tricky one

and apparently every ovens a little bit

different and we'll learn our way with

the oven so just because the heat source

is a little bit different and you can't

hold the template you can't figure out

what the temperature is going on inside

so much so yeah be a bit of a learning

game it'll be interesting to see what

comes out

that's a know what's so curious two and

a half minutes

good luck Dona I won't be revealed mmm

it's so tempting to pull the little of

them we really want to see what's going

on a man smells good the ice smells

yummy mm-hmm 30 seconds patience is a

virtue isn't that what they always say

apparently so we used to have to dress

up at school and our little goofy

outfits and go to the cathedral and sing

and I always used to get a little banner

that I'd walk around walk down the

cathedral with steps said patience is a

virtue

oh oh it's gonna be revealed

thank you dokie

now huh

oh wow that looks amazing

vocalizing she was she takes one enough

success was enough perfect

all right still not cook them they're

Magga but I bet it's cook that feels

definitely cooked over that side there

so we need to turn it round okay okay so

we gave it an extra five minutes and

[Applause]

turn it up a little bit more to get some

heat back and do it and we shall see if

that was long enough

right yo so awesome what I thought

initially was that the pan was actually

too big for our oven for our burner and

it is so I'll just have to remember next

time to turn it around halfway through

the cooking so that it cooks evenly but

yeah I'll just let that sit for another

couple of minutes and I think the

general heat of the egg will keep

cooking through and then we might taste

it I'm thirsty

no look at that expert exciting

okay so thanks so much for watching I

hope you enjoyed that video if you are

looking into the omnia I hope you found

it quite informative as to what it can

cook so since then we have cooked a

couple more different frittata type

things and brownies and banana bread and

bread and uh yeah they've all turned out

pretty good so yeah very happy with that

investment our ship's oven is just a

typical sized ship's oven but it does

use a lot of gas heating up that whole

area for cooking for just the two of us

on board so I have been tending not to

use the oven so this little compact unit

the little omnia perfect for us and

it'll bake up things that great grabbed

out of the fridge passage food so yeah

we just cut up that food into and to

grab it portions and you can just

basically stuff and run and get an

energy energy boost a healthy energy

boost when you need it so yeah we're

pretty happy about that and I think in

conjunction with our pressure cooker

that we use a lot it'll do more the

baking side of things which the pressure

cooker I hadn't been tending to use for

so yeah I totally recommend it if you're

thinking of buying one I shall pop the

link below to the omneya website and you

can check them out

so yeah pretty busy times on board at

the minute we're trucking our way north

and heading over to the louisia it's and

the Solomons in the next wee while so

yep very excited about that will be

really great to be getting off into more

untouched lands and back into the island

people mode so yeah very excited to

share those areas of the world with you
