Just an old guy who likes boats, boating, and wild places. I was once a geologist and have been to some interesting places, seen neat things, and have a love of old boats. Enjoy the journey as I learn about my new life adventures and share them with you. Best trip is the next trip!

Heyy! Great Video ! Love your editing as always ! I have always seen those Korean hats but I don:t know anything about it ! Thank you for sharing !
Amazing again, Captain, as more people discover this lifestyle I think your channel is going to explode! Your quality of video echoes someone with a million followers. Are you going to the boat auction in LB this month?
Incredible video! Exactly the area that I’m looking at. Thanks ❤
Check out my Alamitos Bay video too :)
👏👏👏👏⛵️
❤❤love this sailboat !!! ⛵️ I wish I had one !! 😍😍 fabulous lovely Sailboat !!! Great job !!
How are you going to reattach the hardware so that water doesn't get into your new core?
We just bed it down with 4200. f we added a new hole, we epoxied the drilled hole, then re-drilled (after allowing epoxy to soak into new core), and bedded it with 4200. :)
I want to sell mine. Anyone?
Great video. I'm afraid we might need to do this on our project sailboat sometime in the future.
BIg project but it's kind of like eating an elephant, one bite at a time and you'll be better than new!! Good luck with your Endeavor. Funny, I have an Endeavor 38 vid in the works. You're living the dream :) Thanks for the view
Cheaper to buy than rent and you get to keeper
Great video! Where can I find the map with the rock collecting areas?
They BLM website has a map of the location. Try BLM trilobite site. I'd also look at the USGS topo map and/or your satellite feature on your map app. for the dirt road as there are several in the area. Most will get you close to the location.
🌺🌺🌴 looks sooo fun I wanna go !!!!!!! 🌊
Very confusion as which boat being sold
We have a 1984 and love it.
You give me hope, Captain! Putting up a 1/4 wave Inv-L here in the Philippines later this year -- with plenty of radials in the rice paddy.
I am sure you'll be the envy of a lot of pile-ups!!!
So nice to see you are enjoying the boat. Just for the record I did not "back out". Rather the broker I had her listed with became a jerk and when he let the listing expire I simply did not re-new it. The contract had a 6 month "non-sell" clause, which I let run before selling her. Jim and Suzanne approach me and ask for the right of first refusal which I gave them. When the 6 month passed we got together and I sold them the boat. I liked that boat so much I bought it twice. And much to my good fortune the interim owner invested in some very good gear. I sailed her from Seattle to Long Beach heading for Mexico when Covid shut down everything. I thought we would be in So Cal for 2 months. It turned out to be two years, during which time the plan changed. The Hans Christian 33T is, in my opinion, the best all around sailboat under 40 feet for cruising. Those built from 1980 to 1987 were built by the Hansa yard perhaps the best of all the Far East builders of the era. Those built after 1987 are good boats but not of the same quality. Currently, I own a Contest 38s which is a high quality Dutch built boat. She faster than the HC33T but not as near livable; no stall shower and a smaller galley, but still comfortable. Thanks, Pete for the video. It was fun to watch.
Bob!!
A small fiberglass sailboat for cheap would be the way to go. Easy to tow; take it home to refurbish, and then launch/slip it in any decent size lake to learn how to sail it. Wind powered with perhaps only a small fuel-efficient or electric motor for maneuvering in port gives it some resilience to Bidenomics.
Totally on point for the small recreational sailor or someone just starting into the hobby. Depending on your geography, trailer able boats and even smaller boats are a great way to go. In many more rural marina settings too, haul out and being on the "hard" can allow refitting and storage for much less than a typical marina slip in an urban setting. this would be great in places where boating is seasonal.
Just so you know, south of San Juan river is tribal land and if you were to encounter a tribal tour while in the Chine Wash it could get pretty ugly. Be safe!
You're correct. I stated in the vid that we had permits from the Navajo Nation. Over the years we have encountered locals and even, back in the day, a Navajo Nation Ranger! A funny story on one trip, we had a few Navajo's on our trip. At the put in, Linda the BLM Ranger was checking trips in. I asked one of the Navajo ladies to start speaking Navajo to the questions as the ranger checked our trip in. The other boatmen and I laid low to watch the unfolding. The ranger had a bewildered look on her face and looked around. When she saw us, laughter ensued as she knew us from run trip before. Good times! I missed the river this spring, say "hi" to the river from me if you're on a trip in the near future 😀
😀 Ol' guys rock😀😀
Sailing ⛵️!!! Soo beautiful
LOVE The Views !
I really enjoy your wonderful videos! I've subscribed now too.
Thanks!😀
#boatauctions #boats #cheapboats
check it out!
I love this !! I hope I can get a boat one day haha
Nothing like a super cheap boat to keep you busy and drain your wallet!
Marina fees ensure it's also the newer boats that do that too LOL
Just got back yesterday from a geology field trip i took the boy scouts on. We dug up trilobites at a different location of the Latham shale. One person in the group found a complete trilobite slightly smaller than the palm of your hand. Est find of the day. I went out to the marble mountains as a young geology student back in college.
Awesome, great that you were passing a trilobite adventure to the scouts.
Hi this is Mike Temple again thanks for all the great info.. hope to meet you some day ..
Thanks for the comment. As soon as the rainy season is over, I might be around more :)
Thanks for the information I'm getting ready to buy a new yacht and wanted to spend some time there .. my name is Mike Temple... thanks again..
Boating season will be soon upon us and there might be some great boats out there.
This is one thing i haven't really practiced , only thing i was taught was to turn motor on, bow to the wind, sails down and slowly approach the target not straight but kinda on the side (tho dad is good swimmer and would most likely catch me while i'm dropping sails), but hey i'm not captain nor i have any licenses just a family member of sailor and i participates on couple sailing trips a year moving boat to south or north of finland during dads summer holidays since he doesn't like to make those trips solo (last time he did autopilot broke and it was long trip he said). Thx for the video.
We tried dropping the sails and turning on the motor in our drills but found this worked faster for our conditions.
Important skills!
😍😍😍🌤🌤😊
Excellent Guide to Alamitos Bay & Bravo !!! ! I miss that area !!! I hope to visit again
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CaptainAction I really wanna go here !🌸
looks good, i need to do this but thinking of coming from under the deck, bit trickier to lay up but protected from weather
polyester is not epoxy
You are correct. I often slip up as I call anything with a catalyst an epoxy :)
which city is this marina located?
Long Beach, California
Boat life looks like the other lifestyle that many can’t experience !!😍😍♥️
Looks great !
Awesome QSOs. I’ve not used that band yet. What kind of antenna were you using? Tu, de kn4eqg
For receive it was a beverage or small delta loop. My transmit was a phased pair of verticals. The band is challenging but a lot of fun. It added a whole new thrill for DXing.
Nice radio...what brand & price ???
Yaesu FT 101ZD...old 1980's radio.
@@CaptainAction thanx 4 the reply...nice comms bro
What is the rig?
Yaesu FT 101 ZD
Thanx 4 the reply...nice radio@@CaptainAction
I really like your rig. I hate that you had to step away from your hobby. I do understand that life will affect those hobbies. Mine has always been cars, but like you, I had to ease out of it. I am now in the beginning stages of the Amateur radio hobby. I am looking at a few rigs now, but haven't decided to buy them yet. Not knowing a lot about these transceivers I just have to watch folks like you for a while. I still have to get the antenna situation figured out also. Location for me is a problem, I live in a pine thicket. LoL. Take care and have a Happy New Year.
Get any rig you can afford to get started off. Really, no rig is much better than another for general operation. A pine thicket is a good thing as you can use trees to string a dipole or random wire up. an antenna tuner could really help out too. You can do some listening and jump in. once on the air, you'll find other hams are a helpful bunch as we have all been down that path.
Thanks, Captain for showing us a few boats/yacht wannabes. You would be a good guy to have around if I was in the market. This looks like a "buyer beware" situation on steroids.
Coronado 27 for $80.00 and it Sailed Away the Next Day. Holy S__t.
Seven Dollars !!!!
Great information! Instead of an electric pump I had added a regular outboard motor hand primer bulb in line from the gas tank. If I remember correctly, I only had to bleed the connections to the filter (and the filter) by loosening them and manual controlling the bleeding as I tighten them (top last).
That is a great way of doing it and less "parts" to go wrong. I just didn't have the reach around to pump and bleed. ;)
Great video. Really like the off white you used for the non skid - I imagine it conceals the odd footprint as opposed to white
It does but more so, in the bright California sunshine, reduces glare. True whit is just too bright :)
Very helpful my wood chipper has a Perkins... interesting music Gilligan's island vibes
Found it via "Leekspin" music I work by :)
"And such" 😊
Geeeze, yes...also lots of ummms. I laugh with you because I taught for 20 years and did the same thing! As a person wiser than I said "a face for radio and a voice for print" :)
How did you get the Edelbrock electric fuel pump to pump Fuel because they have to be gravity fed I bought two of them before I do you have an app for the manual fuel pump or before
Good question! Yes, it is gravity feed as my fuel tank is higher. The big Racor filter and Edelbrock fuel pump are the lowest points of my fuel system. Often, these small pumps have to be "primed" by siphoning off the air. This can be done by connecting it to the fuel source and putting your finger over the outlet on and off to create a suction. Air is compressible while the fuel is not. Got to bleed the air out...super important with diesel systems. Also, I just use it for bleeding air from the systems and not all the time because the pressure created could blow the high-pressure injector pump seals out.
Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
