    You guys always make me smile. I'm an old dude in a landlocked town, with no idea of how I fell upon your channel. But it is so awesome, I have told both of my sons - who don't listen - about how cool your stuff is. So I am sitting here in Bakersfield, CA., enjoying your amazing adventures. Thank you so much. You guys pull viewers into your stories, make me laugh and make me frown as the situation suggests. So, again, thank you so much. And best wishes, safety, safety, safety always. But success to you always as you continue your journey!

      Mike, I graduated from BHS in 69. I know what you mean. They are having many wonderful experiences and do many creative things to their boat. Excellent content and editing make it a joy to watch.

    I feel like I know you guys. I feel like we've been friends for years. I love watching your videos. Thank you so much all your hard work and sharing your adventures. I hope to go sail the ocean someday. I have a lil 22ft luger. It's a lot of fun on the lake but I feel like I would need a bigger boat to do what you guys do.

    As a viewer its been fun watching your refit of UMA. Many hours and hard work on camera. Many more hours of work off camera. Here is where the payoff comes back to traveling and enjoying life. Safe travel you two.

    Thank you. I have been on the fence about bailing out of California and going after the boat dream instead. The conch helped cement my decision, I can still taste the fresh conch I had while on an excursion snorkeling in the clear waters ( like looking through glass ) in Grand Cayman. I'll miss running around the desert and mountains in my Jeep. but not the freezing socal ocean.

    When you have such a light breeze like that, when gybing you can probably just grab the main sheet lines above your head coming out of the block on the boom, manually pull the sail over to the center, gybe the boat [adjust the steering]and let the lines out on the other side. There is no need to do all the adjustments with all the winches and the cleats. You can do that after the gybe.I've been sailing and racing off and on for over 50 years and that is how I've always done it when the wind is light enough.

  • @Seawizz203
    @Seawizz203 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    D Hi guys. Love your videos. I don’t know if you’ve fixed your motor yet, but an easy fix to try is to first get some carburetor cleaner. Remove the fuel line from the carb. Drain it using the drain screw at the bottom of the bowl. Now, inject some carb cleaner into the carb through the fuel inlet, close the drain and fill the bowl with carb cleaner. Let it sit for about 30 mins. Now, make sure you have fresh, clean gas, reattach the fuel line, if you haven’t already, and try to start her. This can solve the problem your having in a lot of cases. If that doesn’t work, remove the carb and carefully disassemble it over a clean bucket. You can remove the jets if you have the proper size screwdriver. Use the carb cleaner and spray it through all the orifices and jets in the carb. Reassemble, put it back on the motor, pull the cord and away you go....you may have to pull a few times...lol...but it should start and run well. You may have to readjust the idle. Good luck and hope you continue to have fun!

    THE LOBSTER ARE GREAT JUST BOILED!!!!
    But when you want to try different try this!
    After boiling, split in half (butterfly) , paint with lots of butter, sprinkle lightly for color with favorite seasoning salt. Example Lawrey’s Seasoning Salt or Everglades seasoning Salt. Place close under broiler in oven. Broil a few seconds to brown the tips of meat only just a touch. Hold it under broil count to ten to thirty.
    Hmmm good! Have fun you two bums!
    You deserve it! Watch out for hisacanes

    When you were going downwind in the ICW and wanted to kill time/slow down downwind you can center the main instead of reefing. Just make sure you don’t have too much sail out b/c transitioning between maiming downwind and main out can be tricky.

    Hello, I repost a message posted lately at the step 150 : Hello, I follow your channel since a moment now. In this episode, you show your anchor wich is a rocna. A long time ago you have shown how to stay mooring in a very big tempest, you had a bigmantus anchor. Do you still have it? These 2 anchors are the best for me, but I don't know which one to choose.

  • @RedemptionReady
    @RedemptionReady 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    A little heads up for the Chessie... LOTS of poo water was sent down it this past year from the 2 times it rained (april-june) (late june to october). So I wouldn't dive too much. Also we had mass case of Vibrio as well. If your doing any refit work Deltaville VA, Deale MD (everything within a walk, dinghy or bike ride, like everything, even good pizza at Ledo's), And of course Annapolis are your best bets I would think. Herrington Harbour North has probably everything a boat would need but Towne Point marina is cheaper, and it's 20min to Naptown. You'll find liveaboards there and I'm sure you'll meet Cameron - guy can fix and make anything (he's currently in the Bahamas now too).
    The summer lulls are July-August when the winds die down and it's god awful hot. Put a window A/C unit in the companionway. That 6' keel is gonna be fun coming up the ICW in the Carolina's. The hurricanes shifted things around a bit.
    Well it's about to snow here in PA so I'm grabing my gear and heading for a latitude adjustment.

  • @parmfamily
    @parmfamily 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A lot of comments about the Chesapeake Bay area here already I see.... as has been stated, Feb/March is going to be COLD and there is still the possibility of snow during those months. Most people on the upper bay that are seasonal do not even put boats back in the water until mid-April (myself included). As far as sailboat anchorages Annapolis is probably one of the larger and nicer areas if you are coming that far north to start. I would assume you have something worked out already with a marina, but if that is not the case and you want to go North a bit more the overall costs will be lower in the Middle River area, and there are a lot of nice marinas there. We are at the most Northern point of the Chesapeake near the C&D canal... which if you are doing meet & greets as you pass through I can recommend some great locations and even get you in contact with some of the owners of them to help you set things up. Let me know if you need anything at all for that leg of your journey, as this is the area I actually know well.
