disappointment kisi Jones and the
Cannonball Express it wasn't
svabrin banger omits blown a Haley and
it looks like we could be here for five
days because it was supposed to stop or
do tacitly still Larry Dawei was
Whitecaps underwater
this is the Dex Wahby you're fine don't
walk around Belfast Lough we actually
the boats actually in banger
it's a lovely path and the views are
spectacular people see you I'm so
envious Gaynor

telling her to watch Gaynor yes okay but
we're using it for the very very first
time and you know but the thing is this
is exactly what it's there for
so that when we're in the Mediterranean
hahaha we can always say we can always
hope feels like something's coming up
there yes my braces so we're hopeful
that it will all work I have to tell you
please turn off for this bit if you
don't want to see anything really
horrible oh of course not but anyway
please turn off if you don't want to see
anything or Beverley will just show you
a blank screen but let's go see if it's
worked yep that looks like it has worked
so what's just happened Bev well it's a
bit of a moment
we're oppressed for sale when we needed
to put the engine on for a few minutes
I don't really start it's not some
trouble with the starter battery for a
while and we suspect it's just gone
beyond so let me get into our corn beer
so today it's gonna be the battery
change we were putting off well we're
still messing about in Belfast Lough why
are we messing about girl Karen because
we're having a say alone cuz we've been
stuck in banger for about five days
because of the winds it was just far too
windy so we were going to go over to
well we've out gonna go down islandora
Pyland or across to the Aleman but it's
just too long from the Irish Sea so
we're heading to Belfast yeah cuz um the
thing is about Belfast Lough is it's
quite sheltered and although it will be
quite rough out in the Irish Sea it's
nor I here is the current well we've had
it was well the winds been good and
we've dropped a reef bit so I we pull
did you know we're in we can read you
know is so now we've released the genoa
very good wholesale I mean talking about
putting the Genoa back up to the top and
these are
you're talking about the main the main
yeah sorry the main yeah yeah so you've
released the Genoa so what we do in
there currently Bev sunbathing I don't
see we're doing four knots or not so
that's not too bad then might have to
strip off getting to us oh no we're not
gonna strip again we were very close
holes earlier we were doing 77 and a
half yeah she does all our bait does
just like to be playful doesn't she bet
she doesn't yeah so are we now what
hauling and we are now beam reach or
we're still full small we're still close
old but basically the wind is coming if
winds be shipped by the hills here so
you've got the three tails beside okay
fair enough
well anyway we're still messing about in
Belfast Lough but it's a lovely day for
it
[Music]
I'm gonna see those sales
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
soberin up accordion in Belfast night
and it's all looking rather posh
Northern Ireland is definitely the place
of the deals in the marina's 17 15 18
pounds per night and Carrick you get you
pay for one night and you get one night
free sim for going on favorite Glen on
so you know the costs of cruising a
Scotland
we've changed into our club drugs and
then we hit Belfast finally this run is
17 - shot but I do love the bottle yes
Lorne else is wrong tell me um tell me
about it
well I am the highly tempted so I have
to tell you it is a really nice cider
from Ireland lovely taste and I am I
think it's great and then it was time to
dance
[Music]
[Applause]
Beverly and I bought a bang
Beverly and I bought a battery in banger
but we didn't have time to fit it before
our friend Karen arrived so we thought
well we've got the spare battery we've
at least got it and we weren't having an
issue with the starter battery but then
when we were coming down here to Abba
combi basin oh just stop didn't it he
just wouldn't start again we couldn't
get the engine to start and all it was
was we wanted a little bit of extra
power because we were going to just
bring down the sail a little bit yes we
jumped the hoist battery so we jumped
the house battery we've got it all
sorted bought we then even though we
sailed all the way down Abba combi Basin
Abercorn bass horn Abercorn Basin you
know we still kept the engine going just
in case we have that issue again so our
friend has gone off she's gone off to
explore sunny Belfast and Bev and I are
stuck in the boat to get in battery sort
it's at last with our new battery the
positive terminal is here and the
negative terminal is there on our old
battery that's the negative and that's
the positive so what we're going to have
to do is we're going to have to put the
out the battery in the opposite way
around and stretch the cables this panel
here it shows the fitting dates and as
you can see whoever put it in didn't
bother marking the fitting deal so we
have no idea how this battery is yeah
and that's the issue you need to be able
to know that information so the year has
a nine in it
and it was July but I will also write on
it July to Ben Bev and I are doing jobs
like this sometimes I feel like a
surgeon's mate as she hands out edicts
ratchets sandpaper screwdriver
I aim to goodness it's working do we
have power yet Oh
