Here's a tip for you (and Yottis everywhere); Get a huge bottle of silicone / dielectric paste and coat everything electrical or electronic with it. Repeat at every refit or anytime you're digging into electronics. Also, coat your cell phone ports, computer ports, camera + GoPro batteries, remotes of any kind, simply everything electric or electronic. It significantly reduces the corrosion from salty and humid environments!

Thanks Darrell! We have boat repairs too, but try not to spend too much time talking about them. We prefer to do the fun stuff not sweaty boat chores. 😝

Google says, "Stingrays flip upside down because they have blind spots directly behind their eyes so they will sometimes flip over to see. Also some stingrays turn upside down, extend their pectoral fins, then curl their fins above the water, so they look like sharks".

Make sure that you take good care of your finger, I had something like it my finger was cut like yours and it got very painful, the nerve end are sensitive, it got so bad that I had to go to emergency room, and had to take pain medication to go to sleep, take care.

Yeah, I'm late ! Watched your Pacific crossing and decided to go to Episode 1 and now on 25, watching you eat the lobster that bit off your fingertip ! Ouch ! Your videos are sooooo good ! I miss all that stuff. I spent 20 in the Navy, Puget Sound, sailing my Catalina 30, changing out engine from 1 cylinder gas to 3 cylinder diesel. Then the small quirks that happened. Always inconvenient ! Ha I've dove in Puget Sound, Hood Canal, Hawaii, Phillipines and Thailand. I recommend the two latter. I was an engineer in the Navy, and still addicted to mechanical diddling in spare time. Yeah, I'm addicted to your videos and I'm jealous (haha) and even tho I don't know you, I'm happy for you two ! Living your dream on your terms. Dang............. I would highly recommend Thailand for the food, beaches, diving and cheap thrills. Not sure about the Rum, altho I could surely write a guide on dive bars in the Western Pacific ! Have fun you guys ! As we used to say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu to you both !

Haha same! I've also decided to watch from the start. I've traded the Netherlands for the Mediterranean a few months ago, but while living 'land life' I'm currently looking for the perfect sailboat to live on with my two kids. Would be so cool to sail with them to some of the amazing places you guys have been.🤍

Dang, that lobster bite was amazing! Learn something new all the time. Note to self: even lobsters without claws can getcha. Btw, you guys rock the fishing. I’ve seen lots of other sailing KZreadrs try to catch their dinner and no one has results like you guys. And I just looked at the fishing regulations for our nearby lake and they allow spear fishing. I think I may have a new hobby.

@@SailingOneLife It's a 1981 US Yacht 35 cockpit sailboat. One of ten hulls made it into production in 1981 due to a fire that burnt the plant down. They were sent to Bayliner to be built. They are modeled after the Cooper353"s. Very cool pocket cruiser. Cool. I am probably a month from leaving Texas. Let me know if you need anything from the states before I leave? (443)515-8882

Does that chain plate have anything other than the stay connected to it? If there is load in a second direction from anything else attached to it? The force in a second direction weakens and loosens the plate and it's seal to keep water out. You're wise to take that corrosion seriously. Of course that plate is probably not alone in needing attention given the age of the vessel.

@SailingOneLife

Жыл бұрын

No, nothing else is connected to the chainplate. The leaking bolts were just in need of rebedding as it probably was done 15+ years ago. The moisture in the bulkhead we found was actually from an old wire-pass through that was poorly sealed. 🤦‍♂️
