 two boats on that screen both got the same name in different languages and of course one of them is mine Draganmore Welsh for Dragon of the Sea and that one is Drago Dumar, I assume Portuguese for Dragon of the Sea, who'da thunk it, I don't know if you can see this this is the plug for the boat it goes in there if you pull the plug out the boat sinks, well I pulled the plug out but we didn't think because I got another plug I put the other plug in so we didn't sink ready 3, 2, 1, plug is out, plug is in we didn't sink, we did not sink I'm still alive given it a wipe it did not help, it thinks the depth is 38.3 meters the actual depth is 500 meters it just came back when we hit 200 meters it came back I wonder if that's a limit if it is why does it say 300 meters right there you idiots I was just googling firmware updates look see firmware I've got limited because I'm about 10 15 miles away from the Portuguese coast I've got limited internet access I was googling firmware updates because I'm not sure I could have done it I've got a little mini USB oh there was a dolphin right there that's a good timing hello dolphin where have you gone there you are look at that lovely yeah I must have scared it into action by googling the firmware update because I possibly could do it um the only problem is getting it onto the USB stick with the old world six days ago six or seven days ago as I was trying to get out of Biscay I've got across Biscay and I was just trying to get around finished there and I was be calmed and it was as if Biscay didn't want to let me go and now at the bottom of the Atlantic stretch I mean there's a little bit of wind just picked in now but again be calm as if it didn't want to let me go either that or there's something mentally where I I don't want to leave but I god I do really want to leave the Atlantic so weird weird anyway that's Cape St Vincent lighthouse right there looking glorious we've got sunshine we've got beautiful coastal views I've got the engine on for now but that's going to change I think very soon lovely so I hoisted that in front of all the spectators on the edge of the cliff they're watching me sargre's lighthouse wave for all the people on the on the cliff top there give them a wave yeah I see they're waving back this is the Portuguese Algarve coast now all the way down here there's like a million places I could stop have a shower buy some more cigarettes but I'm not I'm pressing on just pressing on it is over there over there and the Allison Mary is close by I'm doing 5.8 knots in 14 knots of wind so I'm happy I'm not doing it in a very straight line though it's because I'm pointing the camera and talking to you turned the corner and made it onto the Algarve coast we're now playing a fun game called chase the wind flat calm oh and chase the dolphins as well how lovely but I will be chasing the wind not the dolphins so um the further off the coast I go the less wind there is of course what we're getting here is some series warming up the land yada yada yada so I'm trying to stay just in the hello just in the the gap enough off the coast but not too far that I stay in a bit of wind dolphins taking them hey I'm talking to camera here about a little bit of respect yeah right back to work oh no sorry what was I was saying yes this big sail big sail gets the boat moving I can't use the mainsail I just had a video call with there with my sailing guru guru chum and uh he asked me if the mainsail was broken because he's a cheeky bastard and no mick the mainsail isn't broken but this big sail um it creates quite a lot of weather helm and the tiller pilot can't cope with it once the wind gets above maybe 10 15 not 15 10 or 12 knots then it overloads the tiller pilot I think as I mentioned earlier um so I can't be can't be flying the mainsail and the spinnaker at the same time because that really immediately overloads the tiller pilot unless I want to hand steer which I did earlier while I was taking the video call with mick which was hilarious I don't remember any of the call because I was just staring at the spinnaker the whole time going well it's gonna laugh anyway now oh there it goes damn it okay I'll edit that bit out I don't want to make that all right cheers how lovely here we are in the bay of cadiz this is day I have no idea that isn't it lovely you can see the moonlight on the water ships in the distance stars in the skies there's the moon there hello moon it's the algarve coast over there somewhere no idea a few little cloudies but they don't even count they're not even on the scale oh I'm gonna enjoy tonight there is um shipping around the the lanes are over there though I deliberately deliberately chose my course that I would be away from and parallel to the shipping lanes so um it's only the odd renegade that I have to look out for in this area um which is uh yeah it's all right and it seems like everyone is sticking to the to the lanes when checking the trends on the on the AIS and they're all they all line up nicely so they can relax a little bit tonight it's a little bit wobbly I mean we're not in the med yet this is what it's all about all right ciao having said my bit about about the traffic lanes earlier on here are two stray buggers who are corralling me they're going to be one either side and there's no no I mean it they're not going to be super close but they're going to be quite close this is um four miles and eight miles can you see anything this is four miles and eight miles I think he's going to be uh less than a third of a mile he's obviously further these little markers they show where the vessel is going to be in x amount of time and I can't remember if I've got them said at 30 minutes or 10 minutes yeah so that's where we're all going to be at 30 minutes well past each other so long before 30 minutes we're going to have a closest point of approach what I'm going to do now is put a jumper on because it's chilly now and uh and look out for their lights and be ready to uh maneuver if required which I won't be I'm a sailing vessel I'll just shine a shine a light at my sail okay shine a light on your sail that kind of without having to bother anyone on the radio or anything like that what you're doing is illuminating the fact that you're a sailing boat and that's kind of declaring your uh right to stand on and uh yeah that's all you needed that's us we're right there in the big blue actually it's not the big blue it's the small gulf or decadiz heading for tarifa or tarry as I've decided to rename it now an interesting charting anomaly here you can see that on this chart very clearly the depth is 760 meters but in actual fact according to my amar dst smart sensor the depth is 35.4 meters so I'm not sure if I need to speak to amar or the abnormality about this slight discrepancy
