today on sailing Joy so here's the situation last time you guys
saw that boat that poorly anchored in front of us
and I decided to analyze the images Patricia had done with her mobile phone to better understand
what happened and why that sailboat decided to live in the middle of the storm and this is what
I found an error in anchoring too close to other boats right before the thunderstorm associated
with the not so long scope for the anchor made the sailboat drag anchor as soon as the wind
picked up that's when the captain of that sailboat panicked and he realized he had to let out a more
chain and doing so floated dangerously close to us tangling his anchor and chain on ours
I couldn't get out in the middle of the thunderstorm so he dropped anchor chain
everything so it's all tangled on hours but I got an ear infection so our friends from
okolo staff is coming here to help me out just to dive in untangle from our chain and
recuperate the the chain and anchor that they left here we don't want to leave in
the bottom of uh the ocean because it may really uh get on other anchors and create a
huge problem so we're gonna be doing that right now it was like really really bad
off we went to retrieve the chain and anchor here you can clearly see the
chain that was left by the sailboat to the bottom left of the screen
foreign
wow yeah
I believe there was about 20 or 30 meters of chain at the bottom of the sea
okay we brought it all up to the dinghy and then transferred it into Joy
that's crazy it's unbelievable
and then they park in front of you like this exactly so here's the result we got
the anchor from that irresponsible Boulder that threw the anchor so close to us right
before the thunderstorm the entire anchor chain rope everything was Tangled on hours
and uh whenever we had 40 knots the guy simply decided to leave and got everything just like
yanked from his boat he left never came back but I went to check because we're gonna have
some more wind coming up this afternoon and guess what everything was there I didn't notice that
he left without an anchor I thought he just raised anchoring left so we're glad uh that we went to
check so it's uh it's it's Lessons Learned you have to check every day even though you check
whenever you throw anchor check again after I store up to see if anything happened over there
the good part is that our anchors totally in the sand and it's looking good so even if we have like
15 knots of wind We're not gonna go anywhere it's very very safe dug into the sand so this
is what we got here maybe our dingy got a like a stronger anchor now to uh to have uh on board so
I felt like Patricia got a bit traumatized from last storm
and was now studying everything that she could about the weather forecast
and back in 2015 this Anchorage which is called Pula here in Sardinia was my first Anchorage ever
at that time I looked for a place that I could go and learn how to sail so I went aboard Sail Away
Panama but I told you guys before on previous videos and this was the first Anchorage ever
that we stopped and it's so funny seven years later we're coming back here me and Patricia
and uh we're looking at this same Anchorage with totally different eyes on our boat or our Lagoon
46 and uh so glad to be able to accomplish this dream to come back here on our own boat
and now we're gonna be going to Zafferano which is a military zone that you're not
supposed to actually spend the night there and everything but we are in
Italy and a lot of people do go there so I've been there in 2015. it was like the
probably the most beautiful water in terms of transparency that I had seen in my life
so uh let's check it out and see how it is and hopefully we're not gonna be kicked out
and what we thought could happen it did happen the Italian Navy arrived
and kicked everyone out of the Anchorage we followed the locals raised our anchor
and raised to the Anchorage next door in order to avoid the citations oh my God
we were pretty lucky to get the last spot on the Anchorage as we knew that late
afternoon the wind speed would increase and we would need a safe place to spend the night
Here in the Med or there's too much wind or there's no wind at all so for the past two
days we had a wind that is called Miss trout which comes from the north west I know you can
be quite confusing the name of all types of winds we have around here so here it is at so you don't
get confused anymore in the future yeah from the northwest and it comes from the Alps it's like a
wind that is very strong it makes it everything very dry it blows all of the clouds away so the
day is very beautiful but there's a lot of wind and today we had gusts of about 30 35 knots here
on Anchorage and now we have to stay put so we decided to stay here on Anchorage and uh
and just like let it pass tomorrow it's going to be much better and we'll go to our next Anchorage
let
me explain that's the rockner because we do put nicknames on everything that we have here so the
GENNEKER is Jennifer Rockna anchor is the rockner and so on I'll tell you more about it later on
all right
days like this you cannot actually see the beauty of the place it looks like every place
that we go that there's no wind no swell ends up to be like the most beautiful place in the
world so we're starting to realize that the wind plays a very important role into
it so let's see tomorrow morning because I think there's not going to be much wind
I'm Gonna Fly the Drone and see if this is much beautiful without wind than it is with wind oh
that we were at here on the east coast of Sardinia to go to CAGLIERI which is the
big city here the reason for that is because we want of course visit calorie but second we want
to do the 250 hours scheduled maintenance on the engines so we're gonna be hiring a local
dealer which is authorized yammar so they can change oil filter and they can go through the
entire list of Maintenance that is needed for the yamar engines uh we're planning to even change uh
all of the other filters that yarmar recommends that uh some people don't change it uh but uh
we want to do it we want to make sure that a joy is always a hundred percent and we don't
have any issues in the middle of the ocean so it's a nice day we're motoring uh we're gonna
be arriving in Cagliari in a little bit and we're planning to stay there for two nights
Its
hot how many degrees do you think it is here?
and we're doing the 250 hours engine check which includes the oil change the filter and uh we're
gonna do the pre-filters uh we're gonna check the tension of the belt and all of the bolts
that we have over there in the engine to make sure everything is okay enjoy continues on
going for many many many many many nautical miles without any issues uh on both of the
engines so this is taking probably the entire morning to change the oil and everything else
that I had mentioned we have chosen not to do it ourselves this time I'll probably do it in the
next 250 hours later on but I wanted to have like a yamar authorized service dealer to come in it's
a little bit more expensive than doing yourself but I wanted to make sure everything was checked
properly and not that I would not do it but I think a specialized technician is always great
to have it on board to make sure that everything is okay and the engine continues to go on I got a
810 for cleanness on the engine area and everything else I check regularly everything
inside of uh where the engine is located uh you know I really like to see a very clean engine
compartment because if anything happens we know exactly what happened because it's all it's very
white and greenish inside so if oil spills or if it's water or anything and you have it very
clean you know it right away what is going on so we're gonna complete the service uh this now so
we can go enjoy a little bit cagliari and get to see here the city which is beautiful we went out
last night had dinner and now we're having a great time being here in caledi yes and after
five and a half hours we're done with the five the first engine
it's really taking a long time to change an oil and uh filters here in Italian and uh
I'm glad I don't pay by the hour but anyhow the technician will start the port side engine uh
I don't know maybe after lunch and that let's see how long he's gonna take for the second engine to
be completed so we just are finalizing here the oil change and what we have discovered here is
that on the fuel there was some impurities and I were just checking it out to see and uh what
is it because uh the pre-filter just filters some little things little spot it did it's work so it's
very good so now we're having a look to see what it is this is the diesel the technician brought in
and this is the diesel that we had here at Joy so we're changing all the diesel now
because it looks like the diesel that we had had some impurities on it so we want to make
sure that we have the best possible diesel here on the engine so it is uh it's a shame that uh
you know you have to watch out every time that you put diesel On Your Vessel you have to make
sure that you look uh and test what you're putting in in order to avoid issues uh in the future so
this was a a big lesson that we have learned today from uh Franco that the the technician
that came here on board in the future what we're going to do is we'll probably get about 20 liters
wait for a little bit see if anything goes down on the reservoir tour that we put the gas the
diesel in and if there's anything if it's not good we'll just like go to the next gas station
and get something with quality we're almost done it's almost eight o'clock so it's time to go have
dinner and say goodbye to our technician and pay the bill next on sailing Joy has been a pretty
good passage so far about three hours into it I think uh you know it's gonna be a another
day and we're gonna be in Trapani in Sicily in the middle of the crossing yesterday we started
to smell a weird smell inside of uh Joy but this mail started to get worse and worse I started to
go all around joy to see if I could find something and whenever I entered the starboard side engine
