Tried to Clean the Hull? Then This Happened! | Sailing the River Crouch (Ep.26)

Sometimes the job list just doesn't stand a chance - especially on a perfect sailing day. ? In this episode, I *intended* to clean the hull, but once I got out on the River Crouch? plans changed. With sunny skies, calm water, and just enough breeze, I opted for a chilled sail instead. ? What's inside: - Quick check-in on hull cleaning goals - Solo sail on the River Crouch - Reflections on balancing maintenance vs. enjoyment ? Episode 26 aboard [Crazy Diamond] ? Location: River Crouch, East Coast UK Let me know: do you ever ditch the to-do list just to go sailing? #sailinguk #rivercrouch #boattasks #boatlife #sailingvlog #sailingescape Thats right... I go over the side into the murky river Crouch in an attempt to clean the hull and prop!! I fail miserably due to the temperature... and currents... oh and the fact I couldn't hold my breath for longer than 30 seconds! We continue our journey up and down the river Crouch, ground from Burnham Marina to Fambridge Moorings and then back again ready for our departure. We take a very slow down wind sail in company on the best weekend of the year so far! Weather great, wind, minimal.. I also have a rant regarding the power boaters who deem it FairPlay to blast past at 20kts in a 20m vessel... not good.. saw a fisherman nearly flipped out of his small boat.. As I mention I love a powerboat as much as the next person BUT I don't like the lack of consideration for others especially bordering on dangerous!! Next time we will be sailing back and may even film a little cooking... Thank you as always for giving us your time and sharing our trips! Love Carl, Charlie and Lillia xx
