Marina 4th of July
#fun #parade #boating #4thofjuly
The 4th of July Independence Day celebration is a pretty big event at the Marina. Boaters and friends descend upon the Marina to watch the City fireworks next to the Queen Mary. We have a dinghy parade with epic water fight. This year Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty appeared at the Parade. Of course, food, libations, and fun occur before the fireworks.

Fireboat!

A City of Long Beach fireboat. Fireboats provide protection at the Port of Long Beach. Which along with the adjacent Port of Los Angeles forms one of the largest container ports in the world. This fireboat is about 100 ft long and can pump over 40,000 gallons per minute. The main pump can shoot over 500 ft distance and nearly 300 ft in the air. It's pretty cool to watch them test their pumps. T...

Boats Cheaper than an Auction?
มุมมอง 3.9K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Boat auctions can be a great option to find great deals on boats but finding a neglected boat while it is still at the marina might be cheaper still. I tour around the marina looking at a couple of good looking sailboats boats before stumbling across a couple of neglected Hans Christian sailboats. These boats have an outstanding reputation. I point out what to look for in potentially sleuthing ...

My buddy Dennis wanted to practice some boating skills the other day. Besides using the emergency tiller, we practiced man overboard drill with "Elizabeth" a big boat fender using the figure 8 technique. We practiced solo sailing as he is pretty new at it. Dennis's Boat is a 42ft Jenneau sailboat also seen in my deck core video.

Friends from the gangway get together to go deep sea fishing. We headed out of Long Beach, California to warmer waters further south. Offshore, we catch Dorado (Mahi Mahi), rockfish, and look for Blue Fin Tuna. The open ocean is a neat place to be.

#marina #sailing #boating #alternativeliving When I started boating, I was not sure what to expect in regards to the marina lifestyle. There, I found a wonderful community of boaters. Maybe I got lucky, but our gangway is a lot of fun. Here I present a kind of "year in life" along our dock. Though boats can take a bit of work, all work and no play would not be very fun. I revile what it is like...

#topband #gentlemansband #shortwave I was once very active in Ham (amateur) radio. I liked searching for distant stations or DX. My favorite frequencies to operate was the "tropical" bands and 160m. 160m also known as topband or the gentleman's band lies just above the AM radio frequency range. Perhaps some of you used to listen to far off AM stations at night. With 160m, every once in a while,...

Excellent guide. Thank you. I have fond memories of sailing dinghies here with my Dad.
Put it in the backyard and call it the guest house .
video was making me sea sick.
❤🎉🎉🎉🤍💙 happy 4th of july month Captain Action !! Its always nice to see marina coastal life !! Id love to visit there during 4th of July !!
The one for sale in TX is not a center cockpit. Has a different interior.
Yes true, not many Endeavour 38's for sale at the time of the making of the video :)
@@CaptainAction great video - thank you
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?
Thanks for the kind words :) Yes, I was at the boat auction but only for a little bit as I had a sailing adventure that day too. Got to love the marina lifestyle :)
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 😀

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 ???

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.
