in this week's video we arrive at

finickay

at winter residence

we meet the new neighbors

i've only finally learned how to say the

name of the boat after watching them for

two or three years now but here they are

on pontoon b yeah just up the road from

us so they're neighbours

and we tell you about some of the

projects we've got planned for this

winter but first we're going to tell you

about this chap or his family anyway

[Applause]

[Music]

sitting having a coffee

looking ashore and there's a wild boar

i'm gonna try and get them with this

camera

i might get them with the um

the nikon the big lens

from our angle they've now gone behind

the um

the green shrubbery

while boars in turkey are significantly

larger both in body size and trophy size

and european wild boar the kilos can

weigh 300 kilos at 660 pounds and their

tusks can be as long as 30 centimeters

and that's a foot long unfortunately

most of the pictures of turkish bores

have men with guns behind them and i

don't think they're killing them to eat

them well that was last week and of

course this week

we arrived in finicky

[Music]

maybe i was blind on you forever while i

tried to find

someone that could be my great love

right in front of me i didn't realize

you were my dream

so you took me by surprise

[Music]

is

[Music]

i'm just curious when did you know you

had feelings for me maybe somehow we've

always known that

we have chemistry but always chasing

after someone else so this took me

[Music]

is

feels like

[Music]

even in my wildest dreams

[Music]

even in my wildest dreams

[Music]

is

[Music]

well some celebs have just arrived in

town

they're gonna lower the tone of the

neighborhood

it's ant and sid

from sv in padavas

i've only finally learned how to say the

name of the boat after watching them for

two or three years now but

here they are on pontoon b yeah just up

the road from us so they're neighbours

well that's the whole tone of the

neighborhood dropped in an instant

hi come on

should we catch their life

so we've arrived in finicky

this is going to be our home for the

winter

we're going to do all our maintenance

blogs and videos from

there'll be a few of those i think

it really is

quite stunning scenery behind me so

we've got um

[Applause]

mountains behind us and apparently

there's snow on those over winter

it's still 25 degrees celsius here at

the moment

very peaceful lots of people that we

know from other boats from

le carter and our travels i think it's

going to be uh

it's going to be a nice winter

and we've arrived on a public holiday as

well it's national day today

hopefully later on

we'll um be able to get out and

show you what it's like these guys

really go in for their national day

in a big way

lots of turkish flags

hanging lots of people dressed up

in red and white

reminds me a little bit of gibraltar

and there's been marching bands this

morning

practicing

went out on the scooters last night

it's a big fun fair for the kids all

free

really is a stunning place

look at those mountains

a big solid concrete pontoon we're on

quite long 200 meters or so

a few spaces left a few boats to come in

on sunday night in finnick is barbecue

night it was pouring in with rain but we

went for a barbecue anyway

inside what they call the porthole i

think and guess what someone i've worked

with for 30 years is there playing his

guitar

[Music]

[Music]

now i know we keep saying it but we

absolutely love turkey here's a quick

tour of the marina and the surrounding

area

[Music]

they keep on telling lies

[Music]

that is how we stay alive

[Music]

is

[Music]

two different minds

telling lies

two different lines

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

we keep moving

[Music]

um

[Music]

two different

[Music]

uh

[Music]

to survive

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

as promised here's an update on some of

the jobs we're going to do this winter

and i've started doing a schematic so i

can see

where it is i need to put things and

make their connections let's start with

the solar

back in our boat electrical made easy

series we told you what solar we're

running the plastic flexibles on our

bimini aren't putting out as much as

they used to it's down to about 50

after five years

so we're going to upgrade those to two

205 watt panels and we're doing it here

in turkey because these panels are cheap

very cheap with the exchange rate

and also

for what else we're going to do we're

going to need more solar let's tell you

about that

we're going to get a water maker the

jury's out on what we're going to

actually get

what make or whether we're going to

build it ourselves but one thing's for

sure

it's going to be 12 volt and we're going

to have to run it while charging our

batteries from the solar hence the solar

upgrade the solar upgrade will include a

new charge regulator well a second one

actually so that we have two completely

independent systems

if either one fails breaks down or

there's a problem we still have the

capability of charging our new batteries

ah yes

new batteries

now there's nothing wrong with the 400

amp hours of agm we've got at this

moment but they too are six years old

and i think that they're probably going

to fail and when agm's fail they tend to

fail it pretty quickly you don't get a

warning

so it's time to change batteries and

what are we going for

well we're going lithium lithium has

decreased in price significantly and the

advantages

over conventional lead batteries either

agm's wet cells or gel are just too

great to ignore now and of course in

turkey we get a good deal

now despite what some manufacturers will

tell you you cannot just dump lithium

into your system you need to plan it

properly

especially if your starter battery and

your bow thruster battery are going to

remain agm

in order to protect our alternator

when the engine is running the lithium

will be charged through one of these or

possibly two because they can be run in

parallel our current battery monitor a

nasa marine bm2 cannot monitor lithium

and so we have to upgrade our battery

monitor as well so we're going with the

victron 712

this integrates with the software

bluetooth software of all our other

victron items so

let's talk about victron

so why are we using victron well we're

not sponsored by victron in any way

shape or form if we were we'd tell you

you know us no bs

we find this stuff works it's all

bluetooth capable you can run it from an

app on your phone and it's reliable we

know other people who've had other makes

of gear and it's failed and everybody we

speak to has victron says it works so

that's why we're using it

now before someone jumps in the comments

and says ah but what about your mains

battery charger well that is capable of

charging lithium

so that's what we're going to do

it can be altered on any one of the

three outputs to charge lithium on that

circuit

so that's what we're going to do

now there's going to be an awful lot of

amperage voltage and wattage flying

around so we're going for quality

products when it comes to fuses and bus

bars and isolators and again this will

be victron

we'll talk you through it over the

winter how we do each thing so that's

the update there's lots of other things

we're going to do on imperatives this

winter

but if you're interested in doing any of

these things on your boat these projects

then go over to our playlists and have a

look at boat electrical made easy this

series of videos we made

to teach people about how boat

electrical works everything from

alternators to starter motors and it

starts with the very very basics get

over there and take a look

who knows you might learn something and

that's why we put it there

until next time

sail safe
