Sailing Saoirse - ❗️Getting RID OF FILTHY FUEL from our FUEL TANKS❗️(EP 27)

Denver gets the diesel tanks ready for filling. We have to set the sensors in place and get them calibrated so he started off by emptying them completely - a pain stakingly slow job. We glad he did it because we found out that they we really dirty which would ultimately affect the engines. The tank lids were also short of the connection points to insert a fuel return line, so again the process was slowed down whilst we found some stainless steel tube and a company to weld those in place before we could fit the fuel return pipe. That done, he created a good gasket finish between the fuel tank and cork gasket below the tank lid. We are now ready to start filling the tanks and calibrating the sensors to give us accurate readings on our displays There are always jobs you finish, stand back and look at and think"damn... that could have been done better!" We peeled the paint and stipple off the wall behind Colben and Teagan’s bed so that Colben could fair the wall before redoing the stipple and paint. WHAT A DIFFERENCE, we looked at it for months wondering if it would be worth all the effort of stripping everything off and redoing it BUT it was so worth it!!!!! Almost all of the imperfections are gone! We painted our headboard and put it in place to see what it looks like and it definitely finishes off the room. We went with the colour Trade Winds because WHY NOT? 🤣 Colben sends the GoPro up on the halyard (because of our lack of a drone) to get a birds eye view of Saoirse while Sally just happened to pop past for a swim. Karen falls between the yacht and the dock, luckily she was able to stop herself from going under by catching herself on the dock but hitting her ribs on the way down. Her ribs are still very sore and it hurts to breathe or laugh so we are wondering if maybe one is broken but we are trying to avoid hospitals at the moment! Karen and Robin are finally able to head into Cape Town to pick up some much needed stuff to finish projects on the yacht! Finally after 80 days of lockdown! It will be exciting to see our little jobs finished off. * PLEASE excuse the spelling mistake in the video - what I meant to type was IMPERFECT! * We hope you enjoy our video and don’t forget to subscribe to see where the wind eventually takes us.
