In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we're getting our yacht ship-shaped by clearing out the five topside lockers and getting hooked up with cooking gas, plus ...

So this is the walk I have to take just

to go to the loo every morning. It's

quite pleasant really walking past the

boats having a look at them, checking

out what they've got, see if anything

they've got

would be worthwhile getting or our boat.

Ahh, that's better. So jobs to do today: Looks like the sun's finally getting itself

above those clouds but it's still pretty

hazy over there so jobs to do today:

We've got to try and figure out something with those electrical cables that are

powering the computers at the office.

It's just a mess at the moment. We did

buy some stuff yesterday that I thought

would, well, if it's not used for that it

would be used for something else so I'm

gonna try that out. I've got to change

all of the Aussie plugs that I can into

Spanish plugs. I've got to check out if

we've got any propane for cooking. Got to

find out where to buy second propane

tank. What else we got to do? And maybe

even get up on the deck and start

checking out what's in the lockers

because tools and tool kits and stuff

like that is high on the list of things

to buy as well.

So the gas is kept in this locket here. See if I can open this one-handed.

All right let's have a look see if that's

full or empty. Jose did put a new hose on

and it's not connected and that's probably

because it's empty. So we need to get

this filled and we need to buy a second

one as well. So we're off to get some gas.

It's just up the road which is good and

hopefully they'll sell us a gas bottle

too. I guess at some point we'll give you

guys a tour of this place it's got some

very nice restaurants we've eaten in a

couple of them. It's got a very expensive

ferreteria which is basically a

hardware store. I went in for two

teeny-weeny little light globes - probably

cost you maybe 80 cents Australian if

you bought them in Australia. 9 euros 90

each. So I thought, "mm if I can find a car parts place, I

think I'll be buying a lot of my stuff

from those kind of places." Anyway let's

get into the car...

All righty let's go buy some gas.

Well

that wasn't too bad

17 euros and 80 cents. We've got a shiny

new bottle, but he only had one so it's

going to be Thursday or Friday before he

gets another one delivered, but at least

we've got one and we can start cooking

now, which is great. 'Cause eating out,

as much fun as it is - does tend to get

a bit expensive. And I want a bacon

butty right now. So we'll go home and get

a bacon butty on the go.

Just when I thought everything was going

smoothly, we've got a little problem

there with the hose connection. Now it's

connected to the gas bottle, when it

comes up at an angle and then curves

down. But when I try and close the lid of the

locker the hose - gas hose gets in the

way. So we're going to have to get a

different connection. But that'll do for

now. I'll just leave the lid

open a bit because I'm really hungry for

that bacon sandwich!

Breakfast! Yum! Our first breakfast on

board! Wow, and its cooked! Yeah. Thanks! Bacon butties.

Oh that's yours. Okay...

Oh my god, it's like a real one!

Okay well this is embarrassing

rookie mistake number two, regarding the

gas bottle. I shared the

problem with Aannsha, and she

immediately saw how to fix it. As you can see it's now closed. What I

didn't realize was, this side and that

side are a different height and so if

you put the one that you're actually using

with the fitting on in this chamber then

it fits and the lid closes and you can

store your unattached spare bottle in

there. Aannsha saw the problem

immediately! Problem solved!

Here's the new tea towels that we bought

yesterday hanging up drying and Aannsha

is editing a video.

Hello!

All this shopping required us to hire a

car, so we're in another car. It's a

Citroen. Very French. French boat, French

car. I know. Getting very European.

We are! Today is a day to go shopping for

12 volt fans if we can get them. We're going

to a caravan place because that's all

12 volt stuff as well. Yep. Also we're going to

try and go to some big hardware stores

to get some tools. The list gets big and

small, big and small! I'm going to get two kettles. Oh and two kettles. One electric one for when

we're on shore power and one that you

put on the gas hob that whistles [Baz whistles] so when

we are not on shore power. Yeah there's

going to be a lot of whistling. Yeah. All

right, let's do it! All right!

Well we've

been out shoppin. We've been out for

eight hours! Looking for everything that

we need and we've made a small dent in

the shopping list. So as you can see

we've got everything from tool boxes to

wellies to clean the boat, to lots of

towels and tea towels. We've got some ethnic

bamboo recyclable biodegradable plates

and things. And gosh, we had to buy food

because we haven't been able to do that

but we were able to today because we

hired a car for a week so there you go. So

there is also food in the freezer/fridge

which needed to go in and get really

cold straight away. But here's the rest of

it. We've got mats, we've got something to

check the temperature of the fridge

because at the moment it's freezing

everything. And we've got plugs - we had to get

a set of pans. And

knives. Basically we're having to stock

it with everything that you would need

to stock a new house with. As I say it's

a small dent in the shopping list but

look it's a good it's a good star. At

least we can cook food today! Yeah. So now

we've got decent sized plates so we

won't starve by any means. All right! This

is Aannsha checking out! And we'll give

you another update when we go shopping again!

Smells yummy. It is. It's good. This is our first cooked

meal on board! Yeah!. We got gas, we went shopping, we cooked dinner, we're watching the sunset, we're

in our cockpit. Yeah. And we've got wine!

Yeah! Cheers! Cheers!

Yep.

Yum.

Alright let's go and do the dishes. All

right. Nice to eat with you. See you next time. Mmm...

See - See you next time!

I'll bring these in case it rains. I

don't think it's going to rain, but they'll

get damp anyway.
