What's going on guys? Welcome back to the channel, welcome back to the vlog. If you're

on the drone, on a couple of GoPros, and on the Canon camera and I'm gonna show

really appreciate it and I hope you enjoy this video. Barbara: So we about to come inside the port. The beautiful port of Portafino. So, already we have all

the fenders out at the right heights and we're gonna have to adjust depending on the

boats we will have port side and starboard. I prepared a remote that's my remote for the starboard windlass

So here we're not gonna take very much. We're gonna drop anchor so I'm getting ready for

that. Normally I always set an anchor on emergency mode so that if we have a

failure I can just drop an anchor so that we don't go into the other boats around

I going to use it to actually use it as a ground line so that we don't go too much on

the dock. So, what I have to do is to drop it little by little so that the chain

stays quite tight. So that it's it stays all the way like a

ground line and it will prevent the boat to go too close to the dock. So that's what we're going to do now.

Portofino marina Portofino marina this is motoryacht AWOL, AWOL on channel 12 -

yes, go ahead AWOL. Here Portofino marina. Yes, good evening Portofino Marina, this is motoryacht AWOL. We are just outside the

marina requesting permission to enter to the berth

Copy, thank you Barbara

Tristan, going to fly the drone.

OK, copy

So, now I have visibility on the chain if I need to I can see how much we

still have in the chain locker. I can see what's happening. I'm staying on starboard

because captain is on port side. Then I can have visibility where he doesn't and

also Jason is on the stern to have the visibility for him as well so the few of

us together we can see all around the boat.

okay Barbara, see the guy on the tender you got to drop anchor where he is

So that guy here is showing us where we need to drop anchor.

Got about 15-20 metres to stern

Also, monitor the anchor chains of Wedge Too, yeah? You also monitor the anchor chains of

Wedge Too, Jason

Yeah, copy.

Yeah, copy, you've got 20 metres

More forward? Yeah. That's our starboard quarter in line with their anchors

A little more the bow on port side. A little more bow, port side

Okay, drop! Okay! So, I'm dropping now. So now I want to chain

to go, but not too much so it will stay straight, but I don't want to block it

because I want Tristan to have total movement on the boat with the propellers.

::chain rattles down::

Lineup is good. Do you want to come back on that?

Lads, you're on camera for this one. Slav's going first! Slav first.

okay

Lambeth nailing it again

Hey! That's 300,000 views right there boss.

Hahaha!

Babs we wrapped it off there!

So what I did is, I closed the windlass here so that

now I'm gonna do it's more accurate with the remote. I'm waiting for Jason to

tell us what's the distance to the dock and then when he's happy I can take

tension on the chain.

So guys I really hope you did enjoy that video. As you can see it's quite a

tight space to get into but it was a lot of fun. A beautiful day in Portofino, it's the
