Добавлен 12 окт 2011
Making Waves Presents, formerly known as Alfie's Bits'n'Pieces Hi Guy's thanks for dropping in to our vblog channel "Making Waves Presents" it covers just about anything we do from day to day, from DIY engine re-builds to flying my DJI Phantom 4 Pro Obsidian. From my views on internet providers to giving advice to would be karaoke presentors, from singing a song to travelblog or making waves with my sailing yacht Waveney, you can find it all here.
NASA 22-year-old instruments like new
I removed my 22-year-old weather-beaten NASA instruments and took them to NASA Marine in Boulton Road, Stevenage, in Herts, on my road trip back to Scotland. NASA posted my instruments back to me, and I was blown away! My 22-year-old instruments came back like new. Great job NASA Marine.

We raised the anchor on our 31ft floating home and set sail for Ilha da Culatra, an anchorage by the beautiful barrier island situated on the edge of the Ria Formosa, around 10km from Faro and 6km from Olhão.

Have you guys..Stay safe..❤xx
Hello, we live on our boat (currently a motor boat, but with the intention of changing to a sailboat). We are currently living in Almeria, but at the beginning of the year we want to move to a marina in Portugal. In Algarve we are considering between Albufeira and Portimao. We like the tranquility. In Albufeira I see too much atmosphere, movement of people, excursions, etc... In Portimao it seems calmer, but I am worried about the movement caused by the passage of boats in the river. The 2 worst nights I have spent moored in port were in Vila Real de Sto. Antonio, due to the movement of the river and the boats that passed by. I see that you have experience in Portimao, how noisy is the southern part of the port? How much movement is there in the northern part? Thank you very much and best regards.
Hi, Albufeira is quite a tourist place with bars and restaurants almost surrounding the marina, it can be quite loud close in, but you have a lot of advantages! Good entertainment, great chandlery, and a super shopping area. Portimão: In the South basin it can be loud with No Solo Água party nights but no swell. If you can get a mooring to the North end it might not be so bad, the North basin can be quieter but with southerly winds can get quite a bit of swell, and can become quite uncomfortable in big swells because of the floating fuel dock., and from time to time the tranquillity can be destroyed by boy racers tearing the tires off on the roundabout. I would suggest you you make a choice but book for a week and see which one suits you best! I do know that in both marinas there is a good community spirit. I have included a link to Portimao Navigators Facebook group; facebook.com/groups/219141426313031 Good luck with your choice. Alfie
Hello Jutta and Alfie, it's so beautiful, the wide sea, I hope you have fun sailing, take care of yourselves ❤❤
Thank you 🤗We will try.
Hi and thanks for your advice. I think books went away with discs. But you have to have slips with at least 2 choices in case you may not have their song… I also use VIRTUAL DJ which is the same price as karaoki but has a few more rich features. You are correct. You are there to host a party and have to have fun. The festive way is dress so invest in shirts hats and glasses. You will keep everyone happy if you don’t cheat. If I get cheated I won’t go back to that show for awhile. When they ask where I’ve been I tell them I was pissed about them putting 3 out of turn singers in front of me. Nice job!!!
All good points. thanks for the great feedback.
I have the same pump in my, yet to be deployed, self-build watermaker. Good to see it opened up. Thanks
Everything working well now, 100LPH at 60 bar, the recommended pressure for the system, and good quality water. Good luck with your installation.
i do not use books...the cost of printing a list of 60,000 songs is not cost effective...at least not for me. but if i dont have something that was requested i will work with them...I still use slips or the qr tag that is on the screen that way i can monitor and maintain the order of singers... i will not deviate from that, everybody gets their turn in turn. I use a tip jar but it wont get you ahead of the line.
Most KJs no longer use books, I used a program to remove duplicate songs, printed my own books, and bought a ring binder from Amazon. Lol. I now only use 1 book, just for the people who ask "what song do you think I can sing" I hand them the book! I always use slips. It´s great to hear you use best practice with singer rotation, it´s the biggest complaint in Karaoke venues. Good to see you use a tip jar again it's not so often people tip now, most don´t even carry cards, you could try a qr code to paypal me. Keep up the good work.
All good advice. I wish there was more like this, but unfortunately not to much advice on being a karaoke presenter around on RUclips. Love from Florida USA.
Glad it was helpful. I hope you subscribed! lol.
A lot of good advice
glad to help.
It is folly not to have a small jetty to bring business to those marina bars. Not sure they can refuse you beach access though. That’s worth checking as long as your dinghy is anchored a few feet offshore??
You could be right, but not my problem anymore. I think a lot of places are going the same way!
Club Nau in Praia Grande Ferragudo is a nice option
I agree, but it now seems you can´t beach your tender on that beach anymore, you must anchor off and wade in. The police have issued warnings.
1:14 I don't know why, but this reminds me of the cartoons where they're sitting on the branch while cutting it off the tree. 😄 I hope it works. 2:08 cool, looks like it did work, and pretty well.
I know what you mean, I wasn´t sure it would work, but it was better than I could have imagined.
@@MakingWavesPresents Yes, it looks like it worked out perfectly.
Meggggggaaaaa Alfie
Thanks, Carmen. xxx
Good advice!
Glad it was helpful!
I hope you spelled Ludwigshafen without the „d“ on purpose 😅
How on earth did I miss that? Well spotted, I´m not even anywhere near the printers anymore. lol
She looks gorgeous. I'm so proud of myself and foremost my husband who makes this possible. Love you lots, your wifie xxx
Love you too.
Hey you two, your boat looks so beautiful, you did a really great job and Alfie's flag🥰🥰🏴🏴 loves you, ❤❤take good care of yourselves

Thanks so much! 😊
Cool Alfie
Thanks Carmen
👍🏻😘
I would not have thought a speed impeller service would have been your thing. But I´m glad you watched it.
good job
Thank you! Cheers, it was about time for a change!
Hope to see you two for a beer before ye go
Sorry, I hoped to get up on my birthday, but anti-foul won in the end. lol
Happy birthday Alfie ❤🎉

That’s so cool!
yes, I could not believe just how beautiful that liner was. It´s classed as 6 Star Cruising.

She was soooo beautiful. I'm glad you liked it too.
Liked it and natural, funk your stuff again hopefully more regular.

Ich habe heute bei meinem discovery sport auch eingebaut
Es machte es zwar komfortabler, aber mein Turbo versagte nach nur 68.000 km 12.000 € für einen neuen Motor, also als Ersatz oder Reparatur verkauft
@@MakingWavesPresents hatte er nur turboschaden ? Oder motorschaden? Wenn ja weswegen motor schaden?
@@BERLIN900 Der Turbo fiel aus, die Land Rover-Werkstatt ersetzte den Turbo, wir bezahlten, dann sagte ich niedrigen Druck auf 2 Zylindern, ich bestand darauf, dass Kopfentfernungsarbeiten durchgeführt wurden 3800 €, was dazu führte, dass ein neuer Motor für weitere 12000 € erforderlich war, da das Auto jetzt nur noch 16000 € wert war - 18000, ich verkaufte es für 10000 €. Ich möchte Sie nicht verärgern, aber führen Sie eine Internetsuche durch Discovery Turbo Failure

Hi, you didn’t show the electrics fitting.
The weather was so bad I was lucky to get what I did, but for the electrics, if you can get a Chrysler harness get it. It was torture tracing the wiring.
What did you use at the sides around the windows?
in the fore-cabin, I used the same wood, in the saloon I used foam-backed boat lining but, now I wish I´d used non-foam linings, the foam backing collapses after a few years.
Looks great! Did you use insulation behind the finishing wood?
Yes, the bracing or ribs were 25mm so I could use 25mm polystyrene sheeting. But if i did it again I would use Camper-Insulation-Floor-Sound-Adhesive from Amazon
Pull more if it ran on all four 🛠️⚓🤠 JB
You could be right, but this model was only made 2 wd. But if you are talking about cylinders, it is running on all 4, but this video was made shortly after a complete engine rebuild and it was being run in, hence the low reves
Nice footage 👍
Thanks, I´m glad you liked it.
I appreciate what you've said here as I found out that it's true. I also want to emphasize how many karaoke hosts that I have got annoyed with and walked out on because they were slow on rotation and they had too many full songs and they were singing too many songs themselves and I was waiting too long for that... No I don't want to wait forever to sing a song. So future hosts need to know this up front to stop squandering the customers time especially when they come to sing. Because the customers are waiting!!! How can I explain the importance of this? Because the customers do not come to hear the host sing.
Thanks for the comment. I not only present karaoke but I like to visit others. it´s only by seeing the dreadful presenters that you realize just how many get it wrong.
I have a 1976 3CII - brilliant machine, just indestructible.
I could not agree more!
I need a hydraulic filter for one of these machines
@@damionjarrett2575 eBay will sort you out.
I now have a 2nd NEW tow bar the same as this for sale!
I work in usa. You cant put a price on what your video provide. Everything you say is so true if you want to run a kj business seriously and successfully. Thanks for some new tips and reinforcing the policies we share.
Thank you for the kind words, I don´t think it matters the country you host Karaoke in, it´s about being professional in everything you do, but remember to have fun doing it. If you are only doing it for the money it shows!
Is this boat Hypalon? We are in the market for a dinghy but have limited space on the foredeck of our sailboat. Great concept if Hypalon for the Bahamas.
Hi, sorry it´s not Hypalon, you would need chaps in the Bahamas. I recently bought a small Avon RIB in Portugal and found it impossible to get Hypalon.
this looks like a very nice camping spot. Do you also have any camping place recommendations for Germany?
We have stayed in Ochsenbusch Park Camping. great for the wine region, (German Wine Route “Deutsche Weinstrasse) Dutch owned good English spoken but lots of great sites across Germany to choose from.
this is awesome, thanks so much. I purchased the same one yesterday and now Im really excited for it to arrive
The second time we built it up was better, use the bar and fasten it to the top of the van first, you can then slide the rods in easier. Have fun, we love ours.
This machine doesnt look out of place today. Pure classic. I loved operating this and the 3D MK2 as well.
Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the comment! I owned a 3D MK2 so much easier to drive with the powershift!
Thank you
you are so welcome, I hope you found something useful.
During bad weather i never leave my boat. And if i might do it i leave her in a safe marina !
Yes, the only time I feel safe is when I have my winter mooring lines on, but even then I check for fraying in bad weather!
thank you for those great tips and advice, am starting to do my mobil Karaoke and I am taking tips and advice of those that has the experience!! again THANK YOU!!!
Glad it was helpful!
