Kudos to Warren. The Liveaboard mechanic‼️ And a bunch of other things 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Great episode guys ‼️ 🎉 💕 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨

Neptune was with you guys, which allowed Warren to change the filters before you had to go through the pass.

Well done Warren for quickly finding the problem and then getting the motors back running. 🎉

Hey, your crew wanted to know what sailing was like, and this is what sailing is like!

Another great video you guy! Thank you!! ⛵️⚓️🎣🍻

Time for some Racor type filters? A little difficult to mount in the engine room on a Helia but I found adequate space for each engine. Easier to observe issues and change filters before anything gets to the engine filter.

as always another great video so beautiful there someday

Fun times.

Great video, thank you for sharing

Another great video guys!

Enjoyed, good one, again. Prompted me to change the filters on my Volvos…caught some gunk early! Thanks, Andrew

Excellent video.

Beautiful.

You're making the think a fuel polishing system is a good idea when traveling like you do.

Wow, that quick take off by Brian the minute he got a beer in his hand was, well, ok ! Brian saves the day again !

Guys, I never comment on these because we watch on our Big TV for effect and send PM's. So, I thought I would just on and say hi and how wonderful the adventures have been to watch unfold. Can't wait to see you both when you finally decide to venture over to Fiji.

Donny my man! Good to hear from you. And thanks for the comment! We do love getting your PMs. We will be venturing to Fiji very soon. ;)

Great episode.

This is an incredible sailing video. It perfectly captures the things that draw me to this lifestyle: sharing the experience with family and friends, the self-reliance and ability to quickly diagnose a problem and self-rescure to keep a problem from snowballing, and most importantly: the incredible bond you have built together through this endeavor. The way Erica looks at you.... Wow. And then the cherry on top: swimming with manta rays. This is my favorite moment from your channel. Good on ya for not adding any un-needed dialog and just playing the footage with a killer song. Bravo We Sail. This video is just what I needed to remind me of my own dream. ❤

Love you guys!

As soon as you said the rpms were fluctuating, I thought "fuel problem." Had the same thing happen many years ago and such a pain to fix.

The underwater footage at the end was amazing - well worth the wait. And so well put together - a great production. Thank you so much!

Warren if you have the room, put two rancore filters side by side and when the one filter gets clogged up turn your Ball valve to the other filter. You don't lose your engine and you can change the other filter under way. Ok looks like ya'll are still having fun. We have had a Is exciting day with the volcano. She is about to go up any second or hour or day now. We have had a sworm of earthquakes sents midnight to now ( 11:11 a.m. Hawaii time on January 31 2024) we have had over 200 earthquakes. So we are all Expecting the red stuff soon! What fun! Ok ya'll stay safe out there and until next time, Aloha from your friends on the Big Island! Cheers 🍻

Great videos!

Love it!

All that play time you should have done a bit of preventive maintenance! 1:48

I must tell you, kids, I look forward to your videos and this one was particularly great. As a kid, I lived in La Jolla, CA and in the 50's, you could still get Abalone and Lobster in ten or twelve feet of water. I am amazed at how deep you are going today without breathing assistance. The Manta Rays were particularly great as the only time I have seen one was off the coast of Baja, California between Tijuana and Ensenada.

Virtually all of the Blue Water sailors have had this fuel problem. Perhaps a biofuel cleaner with each fill up.

Yeah, we have come to learn that no matter what, we will be doing a better job filtering the fuel even before we fill the tanks. Will be slower to fuel up but in the end it's going to cause less stress and issues! Thank you so much for watching!

swimming with Mantas is #1 on my bucket list! Excellent video!

Maybe swing the boom over and use winches to bring person aboard? Also I'm excited to see the inevitable fuel polishing system install that must be coming! (You buy it I'll fly it 😉)

Great Manta ray footage. Bucket list activity… very jealous. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great videos.

I'm just going to call out the awesome passage, peaceful, slow, chilling travels. gotta love a boat cutting through the water. keep up the good work you two!

Love it 🥰

It would be helpful if sailing channels included the Manufacturer, model and length data in the information section below the video image. Some of us are less than expert at identifying sailboats and might like, or dislike, a feature we see...

Always nice when folks run into Delos...those Manta's though! absolutely great capture of images, great editing as always! CHEERS!

You are the best! Order 6 more backups! ❤ from 🇨🇦

Great video and underwater filming. I haven’t been diving for a while so this helps me from going crazy! Hi to your Delos neighbors!

Time to put in secondary filters for each engine . Just a quick lever switch to change filters. Wouldn’t worry about turning motors on instead of sailing. I’ve just been watching another sailing channel and he has a million dollar cat and hates sailing, motors from fuel dock to fuel dock . Used probably 1000 + litres to cross the Atlantic. Thanks for great vlogs.

Great episode. You’ll be at 100k soon with content like this.

Glad you guys made it into the atoll safely. I can't remember which channel had diesel bacteria, but they ended up cleaning out the fuel tanks and entire fuel system as the bacteria kept coming back. What would have killed for the end of this episode would have been while you both were in bed discussing the day, you should have had Brian next to you, out of sight, not saying a word, then said "good night, love you" and then said, "ok Brian you can go back to Delos now" and putting a light on him, showing him cuddled under the covers smiling. You guys are great. Cheers and fair winds

At least you got Wilson back

Loved the video, even the part of when the engines quit because off fuel. It reminded me of a similar experience.

Living life in paradise!

Always a totally groovy episode. Love you guys.

Amazing footage.......THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The dreaded fuel bug. I have recently polished the fuel in the same cataraman as yours. Lots of water in the bottom of the tank as well as the black bug. Check out the the oring on your deck filler.. Replace or add some grease. Also the breather is under the Aft beam & can under certain conditions allow water in. Do not use fuel doctor as it absorbs water into the diesel which will slowly destroy the pump & injectors on a common rail engine. Good luck with sorting it.

Thank you so much, this was really helpful information. At the moment we are currently hauled out and the plan is to clean out the tank. You are right about the deck fitting, its constantly getting wet when it rains.

@@WEsail Okay cleaning out the tank is the best way. On the top of the tank, remove the round plate. This will give you better access. I can guarantee that there will be water on the bottom. When we polish, we empty the tank. Then use a high flow portable pump to wash the inside of the tank with deisel that has been dosed with bug killer. Make sure you get into the corners. The long fuel supply hose to the starboard engine can be blown out with compressed air from your dive tanks, if you can't find new fuel lines. Replace if you can, as the bug can regrow from remments in the lines. I would also recommend changing your primary filters to Racor & setting up a change over system. So if one is blocked, you just switch to the clean one. If you wire up an electric pump that is mounted on the wall in the engine bay. Then you can polish your own fuel. A real asset when cruising in areas where dodgy fuel is likely. Use a good light to have a good look at the inside of your tank. Hopefully you can source a strong bug killer to put a large dose in, to clean up the tank. Then discard it. Good luck Cheers Dave

I have a couple of old '82 Mercedes 300D's. Have you looked at the Archoil brand of fuel additives? Not trying to advertise or anything, but the stuff has really smoothed out performance on my old diesels. Don't know if they have a marine line or if it's all the same.

Again, great UW video!!!

Thanks for the video guys! I'll give you a pass for last week,, I know Patreons are important too! 🤣. Anyway, with the weather here in Portland, Oregon rather icy I need to get my vitamin D vicariously through you two lol so thanks for this!

Diesel bug. a fuel polishing system is needed and or treatment for tanks.

I get confused on the timeline of things sometimes. Erica is sad to leave the last place and I happen to watch the corresponding video from Delos where Kaza is sad to watch WE leaving. Now they are together again? Maybe I am not putting the puzzle together correctly but I kind of confused myself with timelines watching both. Whatever...things that amaze me is how these guys have to be the on board mechanic and know what to look for and how to fix it on the fly....and also have the parts available.

Hey Brad, happy to answer that one and I could easily see how confusing this would be especially if you have been watching both channels. We are slightly behind from real time in comparison to Delos as well. They posted that episode a few weeks back as we have just now posted. They also are a little closer to real time on their episode than we are. It's hard to produce the videos and be at real time. It honestly allows a little buffer for us to not constantly have to edit videos from week to week. But we are inching our way closer to as real time as possible! Thanks so much for watching and following the adventures. I hope I was able to make things a little more clear for you. Also, Warren is super handy and I don't know what I would do without him and his skillset aboard. This is what you have to be when you live on a boat! Cheers!

“Bacteria Build up” she said bacteria 🦠 (algae)

It is the tattoos, dude. Everyone knows they clog fuel filters... You ever regret those younger in life decisions? Polish your fuel. Goodnight sky. Goodnight moon. Goodnight Bryan.

Volvos suck but contaminated tanks are worse

"No rest for the wicked." Why the heck don't ya just wizen up and stop all that wickedness ;-) I mean, it's a BOAT - things will break, so we are entertained - but WHY wickedness? Just saying... "a ball in a trash can ... that helps out" I bet my old ears missed something in the interpolation. You reach down for a man overboard with both hands, as you did, and you are overboard as well. Go back and do it again right, with safety lines and the such ;-) (speaking with absolutely zero practical experience with drilling - at 16 or 24, who needs a life line!) That coral looks, to my untrained eye, almost dead - is it video quality of failure of the reef? Or failure of my aged and jaundiced eyes?

Try bringing a real person onboard with a boat hook. Not going to happen/ you need to figure bringing an exhausted woman aboard without her or his help.

Great video.
