    I'm impressed with Will's comfort level making repairs. What were your professions before cruising?

    The first year we had our "real boat" boat (summer 2019) we kept her at Bruce and Johnson's in Branford, CT. I was pretty overwhelmed by the tidal currents and really choppy seas in the sound. Thanks for your videos. I learn something in every one of them.

      Totally! You are pretty close to the race in LIS, pretty crazy currents out that way! We've had it handed to us out there many times 😂

    Al put himself through Electrical Enginnering and Computer Science the the University of Cincinnati BSEE '68, Phi Eta Sigma, Phi Kappa Tau while being a marine mechanic. Advice: Sea Foam and StaBil for outboards, and Eradicate for Diesel Bug.

    @Captin7Seas 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Like to SEA how you resolved the motor issue - ever use Sea Foam as an additive to your gas since one cannot always get high quality marine gas without additives like ethanol?

      Hi! We were anchored in Newport RI initially, then we anchored at Fishers island and ended anchoring in some islands off of CT. No marinas in this one!

    I think you have too much oil in your gas, it shouldn't smoke like it did when you started it! People forget gas evaporates and oil doesn't!

    • @CalicoSkiesSailing
      @CalicoSkiesSailing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good point! We tend to smoke when fuel tank is low. More oil leftover than gas 🙃
