Our friends Nicki & Mattia joined us a for a week onboard Schiehallion. After stocking up with fresh fruit & vegetables, some water and petrol for the outboard we set off for some fishing a few miles offshore. Some electrical problems soon came to light but I managed to find a temporary solution and it didnt ruin our day. Mattia is a mad keen fisherman and soon had a good sized GT hooked. We'd decided to spent a few days anchored at the tiny uninhabited island of Do'o and cooked over a fire on the beach every evening. Mattia is an amazing artist and he left us with a very cool addition Schiehallions wall.

G'day guys, how're you doing? Hope you're all well out  there. We are still anchored in Nembrala but we are  

ready to go, we've got everything dialed, sails  attached everything's put away seacocks are  

turned off and we're going about six or nine  miles that way, we're gonna do some fishing  

hopefully catch some dinner and breakfast and  dinner and breakfast and then we'll go about  

six or nine miles that way to a beautiful little  island that you guys haven't seen before but it's  

freaking magical and we have some friends on  board to divert your attention away from just  

me and marie you'll have some fresh people to look  at this week i'll show you who they are hey guys  

who are you matia from from italy from italy  this one hey nikki from switzerland and over  

here we've got mary from france you guys  ready to go ew super ready super ready to  

get some fish get some fish getting dinner  ready yeah and nikki's getting the snacks  

you want some no i'm good it's like some  very over fried sticks i'm good let's go guys

yeah you can go full speed but i'll just watch

so we're actually sailing now we're  doing about seven knots but you probably  

can hear the engine running because we  we've been sitting there for two weeks  

and it's never happened before but it went  to turn the engine on and it was just a flat  

starter battery i don't know why it's actually  a brand new one well secondhand brand new that  

we were given but uh yeah a bit weird so i'm  just running the engine now for an hour or so to  

charge up the battery because it sucks having not  knowing if when you have to leave because i don't  

know you're dragging or something and your engine  won't run but hopefully it'll figure itself out

but now like today you really understand

with the wind like how crazy what are we doing  

so we are drifting on a reef and trying to catch  fish for dinner okay so we're hove too right now  

because well we're fishing on this reef but we'll  hope too because yeah this morning like i said we  

had a flat battery and then now i've just been  running the engine and then when i turned it off  

all the power went out so i figured there has  to be a bigger problem than just a flat battery  

a few days ago i was wiring in some new led lights  and i tripped circuit breakers a few times so i  

sort of was like me and marie were like well what  have we done with the electrics and registered  

that and so i looked at the fuse box down by the  battery and one of the big 50 amp fuses is broken  

so that must be the relay or something between  the batteries and the solar power and all that so  

i don't have a spare one of them  but i'm just got some copper wire  

i'm just going to wire it directly and until i can  get a proper fuse anyway look at it okay so here's  

the different fuses circuit breakers and things  like that and this fuse down here you can see  

closely yeah this is this is broken so i'm  just gonna hot wire these two together okay  

she's all wired up again everything's come back on  so yeah hopefully we'll um see some charging from  

the solo now because i think it wasn't charging  the starter battery so we're healing stop heart

right great cap ready react

we

so good fresh from the ocean

oh yeah bunches of them

very cool

what are we doing watching  super beautiful dolphins  

we are super lucky because in general  they are not staying so long but they  

are really swimming with the boat  and enjoying it look at this one

you can see them so clear yeah

okay

oh look it's coming up it's coming up this is  the best option we have to eat but it looks  

like a trevally giant yeah is that a good thing  to eat not the best but it's okay we have today

wow

you can take my any pair of shorts there on  the side is all good uh which one this one

all right

this is the dinner

okay motor into the anchorage  on this beautiful island called

film wow what an amazing place huh

possibly two mantas but it might have been the  same one called a giant chavalli we're not it's  

called that it wasn't the giantest of the giant  but quite big we can talk to matia about that we  

had some electrical problems that are ongoing but  apart from that it was pretty awesome probably got  

sunburned all part of the day so tell us about  this big fish i told the bottom for a second  

so it was a nice surprise figured out it was a  nice gt getting stuck on the bottom and then we  

finally made it he's up with us well he's gone now  with the shark but the best part of it some meat

and we're gonna swim that's the best

what are you preparing here we'll catch and  cook this is the chew valley we caught just  

before while mathia cook called us before  yeah so we're putting it we're going to take  

it over to the beach and cook it we're putting  you've cut it quite fine because trevally's not
