differently in our last episode we

answered your questions regarding the

life raft video the chain plate saga and

what we think about sailing in general

what's going on my honey just put a

little another maintenance issue but

this little place of webbing that this

is one of the actual patents that don't

go on to the slagging of this the

stitching slick and pretty much all the

ones with the patents on them of all let

go and just not just replaced it with a

little bit of booboo cord lock on this

one here which seems to be incredibly

strong and that's that's actually been

there for years so even even though this

was a kite it's just it's a little bit

hard to all it's not that hard but it's

a it's a bit hard to stitch up so it

should only take it five minutes to fix

that up and it should be good right ear

a gorgeous morning

so this is Stonehaven Anchorage

beautiful place to be to do your early

morning maintenance couldn't ask for a

better place

[Music]

so yesterday when we were sailing we

noticed that one of the legs was broken

so just got to give it a bit of love fix

that one up good wing another beautiful

morning here in the whitsundays and we

are out at Stonehaven Anchorage with a

pretty cool little mission for the next

couple of days we've got a bit of a

weather window to get out to a place

called hardy roof and we're going to go

in search of the elusive Hart reef which

is this beautiful heart shape three that

you can see at low tide in these magical

turquoise waters so a bit of a mission

and we'll see if we can get it it's been

blowing in the southeast in the twenties

fifteen to twenty s for the last few

days and it got to be a bit blowing

today but then it's apparently it's

gonna lighten off and be nice and glassy

for us so we'll see if we can catch a

couple of days up there and do some

diving and snorkeling it's a pretty

special place it's about 20 nautical

miles from where we are or seventeen

nautical miles from where we are and

it's early in the morning and the tide

in giving which is what we want so the

tides high at the moment and then the if

tide or sort of help us get out there a

little bit quicker and we'll if we

should get out there about lunch time

which is good because the tide will be

nice and low

the Sun will be high in the sky and we

should be able to see the reef the reef

systems to avoid radio yeah I'll see if

I can show you on the chat plotter okay

so

I'll just show you on our dodgy little

chat plotter we lost our B and G

chartplotter it's off getting serviced

and we've come up with this creation to

hold up a tablet so this is a tablet

with Navionics we're running on this one

and I've used we've put together a few

things from the drone and a few

attachments from from cameras to try and

make a sort of a makeshift stand it

seems to be working so we're currently

located here just across from home and

Island and we are heading out here - OOP

- bait reef and - hardy reef and located

somewhere in here is this little heart

reef so yeah it's fairly exposed and

that's why you want to catch it with

good weather from the east sort of south

east east low light winds and we've got

that and then coming around to the north

so should be good timing for us to pop

out there we've got lots of little reef

areas to avoid so we shall be careful

but very excited morning babe morning oh

yeah Barrier Reef I'm pretty excited

about that

it'll be why bitter and

- I'm sure so this should be good luck

rocking that rocking it okay so we are

having a good snail we're pleased and

we're actually halfway across the

shipping channel and I'll just show you

this ship that's just made a nice little

turn to go across that Stern which was

nice

[Music]

[Music]

and that was a bit nerve-racking haven't

seen a ship in a long time we've been a

long time since we've been out in

shipping lanes so it's a beautiful day

an absolute corker we've probably got

about a meter meter and a half swell

something like that it's a bit themed on

so making that for a bit of a rock and

roll message but we are doing well

sitting it around the 6 knots slow down

a wee bit we were getting 7 what matters

we're coming out of the channel but the

winds thanks to have found backed off to

about 15 and we've got a couple of races

in the main

if it stays low like this we might not

be fair and get paired up again but it's

a beautiful day

beautiful

so we're just coming in through the past

between fate and fire brief there's his

little Marcus a stay with me

so we're just coming into the rave now

and we're just trying to find a place to

anchor and I'm just on mommy watch so

[Music]

yeah we're sitting it around about sort

of five meters depth for the few bodies

to treat serious it's true so my aunt
