I think that’s it for now - he’s not going round in one hit. Might have to wait for next year to see the rest.....

Some of the music is Emil Axleccon https://open.spotify.com/album/4o3p5...R0-fhJMuefD1Dg

Anyone looking for the track on Part Two at The Needles, 25 minutes in... it's called Catch the Wave - by Velvet Moon. Was driving me nuts until I found it!

Yep he's done loads for TV and adverts... like this one for Coke...

https://vimeo.com/18027905

He mostly directs and/or does any stop frame animation. Also has his own drone filming company.

So his sea skills might be lacking but putting together that footage is second nature to him.

Thank goodness he didn't try the trip in this idea of his...

If you watch the rebuild videos I think it gets mentioned (looks like he same one they used then...


I would much rather watch a video series on boats made by someone with some cinematic skills than boating skills....looking forward to his next instalments but they may be after Christmas now ( I hope so for his sake....)

Sensible really.....

Looking forward to the next instalments be good to know his plan and be able to offer some assistance if needed as certain parts of the country will be a struggle for fuel and supplies potentially.

Good stuff, thanks Max.

Mariner 3.5hp, great auxilliary engine and still punches above its weight.

Yes great to know they're still going for it - thank you, although why restart it in January? One big wave could seriously ruin their day.

I have a little 3.5 Tohatsu that I think is the same engine, am I right?

>>> 3.5 Tohatsu that I think is the same engine

I reckon so... those little engines from 2-3.5hp seemed to come with most brands on the hood.
