We are Ziggy and Nat, a couple who not so long ago knew nothing about sailing. Fast forward few years and we are proud to say we know a thing or two about sailing, we bought a boat and now we are refitting that boat with a plan to leave the life we know behind. The RYA Start Yachting was our first course. We loved it and wanted more. At that time we had no idea how big the community of boaters is. We met fantastic people on each and every course we did. For the first time since we moved to the UK we felt like we were part of something. The sailing community was welcoming, friendly and so inspiring. We found a lifestyle we knew we wanted for ourselves. We bought Squalo a 1981 Oyster 39”, the day after our Yachtmaster Offshore exam. She ticked so many boxes of things we wanted from a blue water cruiser. But she was neglected, and although we had no experience in boat refit, “surely, it can’t be that difficult.” we thought. So here we are. Putting blood, sweat and at times even tears into our yacht Squalo. Because not only she will be a vessel taking us to the most remote places on earth.. she will become our floating home for many years to come. We are documenting our experiences during the refit and sharing this journey with others.

Checking the fuel injection timeing as stated in the manual. De-compress the engine and crank it manual. The timeing mark is behind the startengine. The sound in the video is not the right one, it should be shorter to be the injection sound. Mobile camera can be helpful, it register the sound and you can see the mark on the flywheel on the video. In later manuals an other method is adviced. Dis-connect the pressure pipe from the injector. Arrange the pipe so the end comes horisontal. Turn the engine slowly and look for when the diesel suface start to rise. Stop the turning and look for the timing mark on the flywheel. Something is wrong with my injection pump, so I got non of the methods to work out perfect. With the new injection pump the engine have great difficulty to start. With the old the engine starts instantly, but it leaks diesel to the engine oil. But I have clear indications that the injection timing is right.
Our friend Solo takes us on a barefoot hike to one of his gardens. This is not like the gardens you're used to seeing. To make their garden, first they burn, then cut the trees by axe. the wood is then used as a retainer to support the steep slopes from erosion. Due to the constant manual labour required to maintain these wild gardens, garden houses are often constructed using the felled wood to create shelter for cooking, resting/sleeping and of course chewing Betel Nut 😉 Unlike modern farming methods, there is no use of fertiliser, pesticides, herbicides, irrigation or electricity. Instead, rain, sun, and the native soil are all the plant needs. It all becomes evident when you taste the difference in the produce. This is true organic farming not just a marketing gimmick like is often the case in Western societies.
