🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [27/52] 🪢 There’s so many horror stories out there with boats having to clean their diesel tanks in the worst imaginable situation after the engine stoped working at an even worse moment. We figured we play it safe and try to prevent it as much as we can after finding a piece of plastic that blocked the system causing our engine to stop outside of Anholt (just after we left Sweden). You can never be totally safe from diesel bugs, specially fueling up in remote places, but you can diminish the risks. Also make sure you protect yourself and the environment by avoiding spill! Only discharge of the residues in a designated place. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼

Meet Zach - he just earned his Eagle Scout rank a month ago and now he's chasing his dream of living aboard a sailboat! When people ask him 'why sailing?' his answer is simple: why NOT sailing? The sailing life offers everything an adventurous spirit craves - adventure, excitement, exploration, and so much more. From achieving the highest rank in scouting to setting sail for a life on the ocean, this is what following your dreams looks like. Sometimes the best answer to 'why' is simply 'why not?' #sailing #eaglescout #adventure #sailboat #liveaboard #dreams #exploration #youngadult #boyscouts #ocean #lifestyle #inspiration #why #whynot" This captures Zach's youthful enthusiasm and connects his scouting achievement to his sailing aspirations, emphasizing the adventurous spirit that drives both pursuits.

Our video explores the mystery of water accumulation on a boat. We discuss how heeling and increased wind contribute to the movement of old water, offering insights into boat maintenance and the potential reasons behind this phenomenon. The engine is now perfectly dry. #BoatMaintenance #Heeling #WaterAccumulation #BoatLife #SailingTips #EngineCheck #Yachting #SailingAdventure #MarineMaintenance #DIYBoat
