Ep7: Emergency Rudder Repair & Makeshift Wind Vane

Episode 7: Sailing Louisiades, Papua New Guinea 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 Places: Sudest Island, Louisiades Archipelago, Papua New Guinea Buy us a coffee ? 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 ?
