In this episode, we complete the circle on my Volvo TAMD31 engine, 'Bertha' that became hydraulically locked 409Nm offshore. Today, we clear the cylinders, the injectors go back in, everything is reassembled, and we take a careful look at what we’ve learned about the engine and uts present exhaust system along the way. There’s a strong temptation in moments like this to rush — to get it back together and turn the key as qyixkly as possible — but that’s exactly where mistakes are made. So we slow it down, stay disciplined, and work through the details properly. In the end though, the battle must be joined, and once eerything is back together and checked, all that’s left to do… is turn the key and find out if she wants to run. Need More Mariner?

In this video, I take apart the TAMD 31 engine on Osprey to investigate a suspected hydraulic lock. We go through the process of removing the injectors step by step, including how to deal with seized fasteners safely at sea without making the situation worse. I talk through the exhaust system and how water can be forced back into the engine in heavy conditions, and why recognizing that early matters. More importantly, this is about discipline — staying aware of the boat, the conditions, and the consequences while working on machinery offshore. The aim here isn’t speed. It’s to understand the problem properly before taking the next step. This is what it looks like when something isn’t right, and how you deal with it without letting it get worseNeed More Mariner?

This video covers the moment the engine told me something was wrong. On startup I heard a sharp clack, clack, clack — the kind of sound that immediately tells you to stop and reassess. A suspected hydraulic lock is not something you push through. If you get it wrong, you destroy the engine. So the decision was immediate. Sails down, boat stopped, and a full shift from passage-making to problem management. From that point on it was about protecting the boat, conserving power, and understanding exactly what was happening before taking any further action. This is the difference between continuing blindly and recognizing when a situation has the potential to escalate into a serious failure. This is not about fixing things quickly. It’s about making the right call early enough that the problem never gets the chance to get worse. Need More Mariner?

In this episode I realize with very little notice that a 983 millibar North Atlantic depression with 50kts at its center is about to form unexpectedly, directly in front of me and I suddenly have to make a plan quickly so that Osprey can ride it out safely. I take you through the decision-making process, the facts that I have to weigh up and show the actions I take which make sure both Osprey and I are safe, through what is to be some pretty heavy weather.

Out here in the North Atlantic, around 500 miles offshore, conditions are still rough.. In this third part of this mini series, I take a look at what it’s actually like outside while lying a hull in heavy weather. I’m not going out on deck for the sake of footage—there’s no point putting myself in danger on a pitching, rolling deck for a YT likes—but I open the companionway and give you a real sense of what’s going on out there. The wind has eased slightly from last night, when it was blowing 50 kts, but the sea state is still significant. Long wave periods, confused energy, and a steady motion that tells you exactly what passed through here overnight, but Osprey is handling it well. Back below, I go through some of the questions that came up from the first video—why lie a hull, what the alternatives are, and how these decisions are made in real time offshore. Part 1 https://youtu.be/axkHvGZrBjE?si=LR6M8ks0UQZZnyOs Part 2 https://youtu.be/OAvAIF80QKM?si=8K9qlAcuIudGGlxA This is not about drama. It’s about understanding the situation, making the right call, and letting the boat do what she was built to do. — CSM The Mariner Need More Mariner?

I’m currently lying a hull in the North Atlantic, around 500 miles offshore, with 45–50 knots over the deck and the boat settled as safely as she can be in these conditions. In this video, I talk through the decision to lie a hull — what it is, why I’ve chosen it here, and why I’m not using a para-anchor or a drogue in this particular situation. There’s no single “right” answer at sea, only the best decision you can make with the boat, the conditions, and the moment you’re in. We go into the physics of it, how the boat behaves, and how you manage risk when things start to stack up. And, as always, this isn’t new ground — we’re standing on the shoulders of people like Captain Voss, Weston Martyr, Eric Hiscock… the ones who worked this out the hard way long before us. This is Part 1. In Part 2, I’ll take you up on deck so you can see what it actually looks like out here, and we’ll go through some of the questions that came in from the previous video (“How to… in 50 knots, 500 miles offshore”). This all sits inside a wider sequence I’m building at the moment — the full story of how I got into this situation in the first place, and the decisions that led here. — If you find this useful, hit like, subscribe, and drop your questions below.

Hove to in the North Atlantic tonight. Wind up in the 45–50 knot range on deck, boat lying safely under bare poles about 500 miles offshore. This is one of those moments where you stop pushing, take stock, and let the boat do what it was designed to do. This short update is just a look inside Osprey while we ride it out — the sounds, the motion, and what it actually feels like to be out here in these conditions. Previous to this, was a full day of decisions: what to fix, what to leave, and whether to keep moving or not. This is the result of that — choosing to slow everything down and prioritize safety. Next video will walk through that process in detail — how we got here, what was going on with the sail, and why this was the right call. For now, this is the reality of it. Need More Mariner?

This isn’t a video about AI in theory. This is about using it for real — offshore, alone, under pressure. Over the last 5,000 miles, I’ve been using AI in a way that’s very different from how most people approach it. Not as a tool for quick answers, but as a way to think things through, to stay clear-headed, and to avoid mistakes when it matters. Out here, the challenge isn’t usually a lack of knowledge — it’s holding everything together at the same time. Fatigue, weather, systems, decisions… it adds up quickly, but what I have found is, that used properly, AI can help keep that thread intact. It’s not thinking for me, it’s not always right, and it definitely has limits, but it can act as a second layer of cognition— something that helps stay on track when things get stressful or unclear. This video isn’t a deep dive into the system itself, it’s an imitial marker — a way of introducing what I’ve been working on out here, and why it’s become such a central part of how I operate offshore. There’s a lot more to come on this. Need More Mariner? The Mariner Podcast Practical offshore knowledge — heavy weather, safety, and real-world sailing.

This episode of Mariner is a walk-through of how I prepare the boat — and myself — before going into heavy weather. The conditions here are only going to be around 25 knots, but that’s not the point, it's an example and weather changes, builds early, shifts angle, and can still catch people out. The goal is to make sure you’re never reacting late, never scrambling, and never at the mercy of the situation. We go through: -Building a clear weather plan and logging it properly -Preparing mentally, physically, and practically before things get rough -Setting the boat up so everything is where it needs to be -Clothing, food, hydration, and energy management -Making the interior safe — including where you land if you get thrown -Winch setup and adding a locking turn to stop lines ripping free at the worst moment. This is about running the boat properly, staying ahead of the weather, and removing as many unknowns as possible before a storm arrives. Because once it’s on you, it’s too late to start preparing.

One hundred and twenty-four years ago, the RMS Titanic was lost, and over 1,500 people died in the North Atlantic. It’s a date that’s stayed with me for most of my life. As a child, I remember trying to understand it—how something so large, so advanced, and so full of confidence could simply disappear. It didn’t quite fit into my understanding of how the world worked. Later, as a young professional sailor, the story took on a different weight. Cold water became real. Not theoretical—real. The idea of entering it, surviving in it, and what that actually means in practice… that changes how you see the ocean. Now, after years at sea—this being my 37th transatlantic and over 340,000 miles sailed, including two circumnavigations—I still mark the position of the Titanic on my chart every time I cross the Atlantic. Not out of sentiment. Out of respect. Because the lesson is simple, and it hasn’t changed: The sea doesn’t change. The responsibility stays the same.

In this video I walk through the realities of running LiFePO₄ offshore, not from theory, but from lived experience. These systems are incredibly powerful, but they demand respect and understanding. You can’t just drop them in like lead-acid and hope for the best. I cover the key failure points and how to avoid them: – Why alternators and lithium BMS don’t naturally get along, and what happens if a BMS shuts while charging – The importance of proper charge control and voltage awareness – Avoiding dangerous wiring mistakes like cross-connecting or “jumping” systems under load – Why make-before-break switching can be critical — and where it can also go wrong – Using fast-blow protection (T-fuses) and designing systems that fail safely – The reality that if a lithium battery goes critical, you’re not fighting that fire I also talk about something most boats ignore: Why are we still putting lithium batteries deep inside the boat? We’ve had external gas lockers and jettisonable fuel systems for years. Lithium is light — there’s a strong argument for mounting it externally, in a way that allows rapid isolation or even disposal if something goes seriously wrong. Finally, I touch on system philosophy: – Use the tech — it’s incredible – But stay hyper-aware while the industry is still evolving – Build redundancy, including separate backup power systems – Monitor everything — voltage, current, behavior — don’t fly blind This isn’t about fear. It’s about competence. Handled properly, lithium transforms offshore capability. Handled casually, it introduces risks most sailors don’t fully understand yet.
