Yours is my favorite sailing channel. Every Sunday I look forward to watching your videos. You have such amazing camera work and you bring out the beauty in the nature around you, even in locations that aren't quite so scenic. I hope you get the bugs worked out of the boat so that you can finally just start enjoying yourselves without all the stress of breakdowns and repairs. That said, I guess on an older boat with so many complex systems, some amount of maintenance work comes with the territory. Keep up the good fight and keep bringing us those amazing videos every week. Thanks.
Wow, what an awesome comment. I've read it several times. SO SWEET! Thank you for taking the time to write. It's honestly comments like these that keep me going. So thank you!!🥰
Great episode! Some fridges can be changed to hinge on the left side. This would make life a lot easier when accessing that beautiful new fridge! Hassle-free sailing, Nick
Right!? Unfortunately this fridge is not one of those interchangeable kinds.😭 We were very limited here with size and availability. Oh well. Maybe next time!
Truly a blessing that steering broke at the dock. Imagine if… 🤔 We also removed the original refrigerators and bought 110v replacements. Haven’t got to use them yet, but glad to see it is working well for you.
We replaced our fridge with a household fridge for a season. It served a purpose but we found a few shortcomings, including lack of fiddles (stuff tends to slide out when heeled) and the 120V is less efficient than 12V. There's also no good way to fasten it in place. However you absolutely can't deny the huge difference in price, its very tempting!
Sorry for your difficulties but it looks like lessons learned and everything is back normal. These things just happened. Please don't be disheartened .🇺🇸
Yep, we were very limited on the size. For one, getting down inside the boat and two, we went with the biggest one that would fit in the space we had...
Do yourself a favor and just get a hydraulic steering system. I did and would never go back. It's pretty simple to find a ram for that size sailboat and you'll never want to go back to cable. In my humble opinion. Glad it all worked out.
I love your positivity and zest when things could bring you down. Best attitude in life for a "Champagne Sailing" with many obstacles. Just wow you guys, amazing recovery..The overall rewards will come. As always.. Fair Sails.
Best Little Blessing……. Steering goes out at the dock!! Whoop Whoop!! I’m so happy it was there!!!

So far, so good!🙌 I think if it's packed full, stuff won't slide much. At least that's my theory!😂

Good decision on house refrigerator,why didn’t you get a bigger one??my guess is can’t get in inside the hatch
Yep, we were very limited on the size. For one, getting down inside the boat and two, we went with the biggest one that would fit in the space we had...
I just replaced my propane/electric refer in my motorhome with a 12 volt unit from Home Depot. It works great and only draws 7 amps. Maybe next time?
Nice!!🙌
