You can sign up for Jeff’s Offshore Cruising course by going to https://www.boatersuniversity.com/ This Offshore Cruising Tip is called, “Through hulls”. Through hulls are vital operational features that every boat owner needs to understand. Many owners take through hulls for granted and don’t give them much thought. We’d like to encourage you to remember their vital roles. We recommend that you identify the location and purpose of each through hull on your boat. As part of your check lists and routines we suggest you test regularly and make sure each through hull is working – it can be freely opened and closed. When they aren’t used, they can “freeze” or become stubborn. Through hulls that supply raw water to strainers seem to get more service since they are closed off to clean out the strainers, then re-opened. Other through hulls, like deck drains, are rarely adjusted since they are almost always left open. “Exercising” through hulls keeps them active and ready. One tip we recommend is using a PVC pipe as a “long reach” to check those through hulls tucked away outboard and also as a “persuader” that can give you the extra leverage you need to nudge a through hull that has become stiff due to lack of use. Never force a through hull, you could break it and open the flow of water. It is a good practice to have soft wooden bungs and a soft blow hammer nearby to plug a broken through hull and stop the inflow of raw water. If your boat is hauled out you can be a bit more aggressive, but if they are really stuck, they may need to be disassembled or replaced. To learn more about preparing for safe cruising, we invite you to sign up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and learn why it has become one of the most popular classes offered.

For the past two years I've been travelling across Japan, letting longevity data guide my journey. This time the numbers have brought me to Shizuoka Prefecture—the prefecture with Japan's shortest Red Zone, the years between health span and lifespan. What makes people here stay healthier for longer? That's what I'm here to discover. This is the beginning of another chapter in my search for the lessons behind healthy aging in Japan. Subscribe for more field notes from Japan's longevity hotspots. #Japan #Longevity #JapanSoloFieldNotes https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/blog

I love the razzle-dazzle of market halls! And this covered market hall in Málaga is very busy and has a wide range of products. It is located in the historic center of the city and has several halls, 1 for fresh vegetables and fruit, one for meat and fish, and one for bread, nuts and other product. You'll also find a lot of typical Spanish specialties here. At a number of fish stalls you can have your fish grilled on the spot and eat it immediately. I made a 43 second movie, walking around, you'll get a good idea of how the sales men try to get your attention :).

The enormous space this hull design provides is just had to get in the traditional hull design. We loved the unique features, the spacious interior, and the killer flybridge. Enjoy the Tour! The starting price for FD75 is $6.8M 😜 Let me know what you guys think of this one in the comments #womenofyoutube This Yacht is for Sale: https://bit.ly/nautistyles Become a NAUTI Member: https://bit.ly/NautiCrew Follow Us Building an Explorer Yacht @NautiGuys https://bit.ly/3yPe1Z5
