https://www.patreon.com/SailingLearningByDoing Sailing is over for the year, the boat is now on land and its time to get to work. Keeping a boat shipshape is a fair bit of work, dusty and hot work at that. I get stuck in on a pretty lengthy job list and get quite a few things ticked off. We then go relax for a few days on Gili Air and realise how much covid has affected this tiny island. While there I get invited to a Hindu funeral, something I'd never witnessed!

so welcome back to another episode of

sailing learning by doing in last week's

episode we hauled out the boat in

madonna bay marina lombok

it was a night haul out but everything

went pretty smoothly this week

wow what a busy episode this one is i do

some boat work

get some things fixed and cleaned we can

have a little holiday on gili air

and see how quiet that place is nowadays

murray gets a traditional ta-doo

and yeah i get invited to a local

funeral

[Music]

enjoy

[Music]

okay good morning everyone welcome to

another episode

it is so hot here we are here

chaellian is up on the heart in madonna

bay and yeah just been getting stuck in

to be honest uh i don't really like

filming this sort of stuff

i like filming beautiful things and and

beautiful people

and that sort of and this this to me is

just a necessary work i don't enjoy the

the process of uh all the maintenance i

know it's very necessary and i have to

do it because it

keeps shahelian running and all that

sort of thing but i don't find it

beautiful and i don't really find any

huge satisfaction in it to be honest i i

find the satisfaction using the boat

uh this is a practical exercise keeping

the boat running

you're obviously not going to show

everything because it's pretty boring

maybe not for a lot of you i know a lot

of you like this sort of stuff but it's

just more boring for me to film it and

i'd rather get crack and just get the

work done

i'll give you a bit of a yeah a bit of

an update so i've taken the sails off

put them out on the grass scrubbed them

soaked them scrubbed them

left them in the rain hung them up in

trees to dry

roll them up they're going in the boat

i've actually got a new mainsail and

boom bag in that arriving next week

hopefully they're um

they've been shipped from sri lanka and

they should be getting to indonesia soon

i've checked the mainsail the old one

that i've showed you in a few videos and

i'm actually going to continue using

that for a bit longer because it's

actually still in pretty good shape

apart from the one

big issue i had and i really thought

that that would get so much worse this

season

but it actually hasn't it hasn't

actually moved at all so

i'm gonna it's a shame to throw this one

away

because i've got a new mainsail but it's

a shame to throw this one away

i think i'm gonna do one or two more

legs with it maybe upwind legs where it

might get destroyed before i throw it

away and i'll use it to it's

until it's really finished so um yeah it

was good to see that i

you know really went over it quite well

now and it's it's not damaged and the

shape's still good

but um so i'll roll that up pack that

away

what else have i done i've uh taken the

anchor chain off

here uh just checked it all make sure

there's no rusty

links and then sprayed every 10 meters

again the normal stuff you have to do

every season

that was good cleaned the anchor well

you know just

just cleaned it all out it gets rust and

mud and stuff in there during the season

we've prepped the the rust stuff on the

keel

so i haven't showed you that because

it's been under water but i had a reef

two and a half years ago in the

solomon's scratched it a bit cleaned all

that out i've put a

an agent a conversion agent on it i'm

going to

put some primer over it today

and then fill it up and fare it so it's

all nice and smooth again

put some more primer and then your

anti-foul will go on later

we're prepping the hull i'll anti-fail

when i get

back again in april may maybe

but i'm going to prep it sand it get it

all ready to go so we can just get back

and throw the anti-fell on

yeah what else have i done i got 10

little jobs going on at once so it's

hard

hard to keep a track of them but it put

a lot of bunch of stuff inside

cleaning and things like that and um

i've

put away all the ropes basically i've

put a little cheap

strand rope everywhere pulled it through

and pulled out all of my dyneema

um halyards and all the good

head sail sheets i pulled all them out

so they're out of the sun for six months

and i'll give them a wash and all that

done all that uh took the boom apart

because it's single line reefing boom

took that apart washed it all out

greased it and everything make sure

because the sliding

this sort of sliding things inside the

boom cleaned all that

while i was checking around the boat i

realized that the flexo fold propeller

that i'd installed three years ago

actually had quite a lot of play in it

so i contacted them

and they asked me to ship it back it was

a new product at the time

a composite propeller hub i took that

off and i'm taking that back to europe

and we'll send it in and

and get that repaired as part of the

marina here there's a hotel complex they

do conventions and weddings and stuff as

well

so we're in we've got a room there in

the hotel and it's air-conditioned and

all that sort of stuff

and it is so so hot here to work it's

it's obviously we're not on the sea so

there's no breeze but it's also um

rainy season now so it's so humid and so

we get up at six and work for three

hours and go and have breakfast and

and during the middle of the day we

don't really work on the boat it's just

too hot

and then the afternoon we'll come back

for a couple more hours work so i've

noticed that about three quarters of you

guys who are watching these videos

are not actually subscribed to the

channel it would really help us out if

you would just

click the subscribe button and also also

tap the notifications bell that way you

get a message every time we drop a new

video

thanks guys so after about 10 days of

working on the boat

we decided to go over to gili aya gilia

is only a couple of miles away from the

arena so we just

zipped over in the dinghy we'd already

spent a bit of time there

and really loved it so we rented a place

and went over there for

about a week yeah just before we flew

back to europe

and what a crazy experience i mean i've

never been there before but you can see

from the set up the infrastructure that

it is a

party island that is a very very busy

tourist place

and locals have told me that during busy

times they have up to a thousand

people landing and leaving the island

every day

and that's just not day trippers that's

people staying there so

pretty crazy pretty big turnover

restaurants everywhere party spots

everywhere

and now as you can see in these clips

it's just a ghost town

we walked around we biked around and and

it's just crazy uh

really really hit home in a small

little place what covert has done

there's just a few locals there there's

a few expats

australians and things living there just

looking after their properties but yet

there is just

zero income on the island now pretty sad

but selfishly i think i prefer it

like that quiet and beautiful and serene

than the you know teenage backpacker

tourism i'm a bit old now for that sort

of stuff

what's the name of this bar zipper yeah

we call zipper is the one of the

best part in the world and normally how

many people here

uh a lot bro there's many many it's very

busy here

yeah and people from australia from

everywhere everywhere

yeah and now we're now closed huh i'm

close bro

no more tourists no more tourists

that's why you need security huh yeah

you're a security guy you're a big guy

you're security but shy of the camera

so you're the only shop open here what's

what's your story

my story just yeah making every day

when my friend order again so i just

choose which ones you like

and you're making all this coconut work

yeah but what's not funny

so how many customers you have in the

last six months

oh man i can calculate maybe thousand

or maybe only two somewhere in between

how you stay so positive when everything

disaster

why are you not so angry

how to say just relax just wasting the

time

when the oh my our president say open

again the border

so that's happy yeah and in the meantime

you're just singing all the time

singing about simon and gabriel i'm just

a

boy

[Music]

i was no more than a boy in the company

of strangers

in the quiet of the world station

running scared lying low

sticking out full of water

people go looking

[Music]

right

beautiful this was a guy called frankie

that we've talked to a few times

he's like one of the only shops here

that are open and he's just in there

making his

his coconut carvings every day and

singing

and uh super positive guy but yeah we

were the

first two customers he had in i don't

know four months or something

and marie bought some stuff for presents

and uh yeah it's actually good to give

guys like him money and keep them afloat

but

super positive but really hard you know

he's a handicraft man and just no

customers so anyway life on gilly air

2020.

while we're in ghillie air marie decided

to get a traditional bamboo tattoo

she was there for about four or five

hours and so they started watching some

of

the learning by doing videos then chile

the tattoo artist mentioned that one of

the fan

family members recently died and there

would be a funeral and asked if i would

want to come

and film it so i said hell yeah

nope this is not your typical barbecue

this is a human corpse getting burned
