Emergency Rudder Repair & Makeshift Wind Vane (Ep7)
Our rudder gets damaged, and with no experience doing this before, Ryan has to remove it while we’re still in the water. Ryan on a maintenance roll, rigs up a makeshift anemometer wind vane. Poppy dives into food preservation, while Gideon shows off his hand-made spear gun and dives for giant clams. We wrap things up with an intriguing discussion on sorcery, which is very much still alive in these areas. 0:00 - Pulling Out the Rudder for Inspection ⚙️🔍 2:40 - Intro video 🎬 3:09 - DIY Wind Direction Indicator for the Wind Vane 🌬️🛠️ 4:42 - Repairing the Rudder: Step-by-Step Fix 🔧🚤 5:06 - Food Storage Hacks and Preservation Techniques 🥫❄️ 7:46 - Gideon’s Handmade Speargun 🎯🔫 8:49 - Learning About Giant Clams: A Local Food Source 🐚🍽️ 10:21 - Installing Our New Wind Vane 🛠️🌬️ 11:20 - Reflections on Our First Two Weeks in Papua New Guinea 📝🌏 🎥 Episode 7 – Sailing the Louisiades, Papua New Guinea 📍Location: Sudest Island, Louisiade Archipelago, Papua New Guinea ☕ Support Our Journey ☞ https://buymeacoffee.com/onceuponareef Or 🎁 Send us a gift ☞ https://throne.com/onceuponareef 🌍 Follow us: 📸 INSTAGRAM: @onceuponareef & @wheres.poppy 💡 PATREON ☞ https://www.patreon.com/c/onceuponareef 🎥 Poppy's YouTube Channel ☞ https://www.youtube.com/wherespoppy 📧 BUSINESS INQUIRIES - onceuponareef@protonmail.com Hey there, we’re Ryan and Poppy, a couple of adventure junkie sailors out to explore the most amazing reefs and islands in the world.
