DIVING UNDER THE BOAT CLEANING THE PROPELLER | REMOVING BARNACLES OF VELA NAUTICA

Hello Seaplorers of Vela Nautica

In this episode we solved the "engine problem" that we encountered, when leaving, ria formosa / Portugal in the last episode (SAILING IN THE EYE OF STORM ) . The marine growth that settled on our propeller slowed down the engine, so the rpm did not go over 1400 rpm, caused by the water turbulences of the propeller. The diesel engine got an overload turning the prop.
Come and follow us under water to inspect Vela Nautica´s underwater ship and the marine life around Gibraltar Rock in the anchorage.

As you saw us considering the possible cause for this "engine problem" in the last episode, we have been right supecting the marine growth in ria formosa to be responsible. We encountered this problem before in Santa Marta / Colombia even worst.

The rest of the underwatership was freshly painted when Vela Nautica had her last stay on the hard and showed a soft, easy to wipe off, growth of algae´s after 4 months in the water.
