A rogue wave from a different direction to the general wave train hits my boat while hove to (not sailing) in a storm, 100 miles off the Australian coast on passage from New Caledonia to Brisbane in November 2017. This was during my single-handed sailing circumnavigation in Fathom, my Vancouver 28. The tiller is not lashed completely to leeward as I was experimenting in keeping some way on. Conditions improved enough after 3 days that I was able to start sailing again and safely make landfall. If I had tried to close on the coast in these conditions it could have been a disaster in the shallow water and even bigger breaking waves found in the South Australian Current (another solo sailor was rescued at the time). Check out a film about my solo sailing circumnavigation: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-TVP7dP56ezfWlLJSTVKhL0GkKdKIvLd My Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thomdarcy My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/yachtfathom My website: http://www.thomdarcy.com #broach #knockdown #bigwavesailing #sailingstorm #breakingwave #roguewave

Use a metal string to set the the control lever in operate position. The regulator spider in bottom is full speed all diesel goes to the injector. More up, diesel circulate in the pump, less goes to injector. Important that the flat spring goes out when turning the "screw" last in the video. That spring holds full gas when you bleed the fuel system and check the ignition timing.

Going up the mast to install our new anemometer (hope that's how you spell it)... No cables, no fuss. One step closer #sailing #sailinglife #sailboatlife #boatrepair #liveaboardlife #yacht
