You guys really have something spectacular going on especially at that location. Dont think anyone else can compare, you guys will definitely gain 1million subs quickly. Continue to give to give us great content we love it both land and sea. Feels like im there with you guys😅
So great the windless was an easy fix! When you got the boat were all the different systems manuals available? Definitely loved the piano ending. Keep up the good work
Always keep a pair of old flip flops in your dinghy that way you can't ever forget your shoes. (forgetting shoes is a common thing on a boat) That concert was so cool! The drone shots were great of all the dinghies gathered around. And I'm glad the windlass was just tightening the clutch.
Hot water can be used when a heat gun is unavailable. Hot water on a wet towel helps it work longer before it drops off. Just be careful not to burn yourself.
Great video, so glad you had an easy win with the windless (no pun intended). Emily and Cole, I feel your pain. I too had to crawl into tight spaces as an aircraft mechanic, mainly because I was one of the small guys. Cheers from Dallas, see ya tomorrow.
You are so lucky it is the feed/boost pump head. The Clarke pump is usually an $1800+ rebuild with shipping(When I checked 2 years ago). This is probably only $350 to fix. The next expense will likely be the Clarke pump itself. I'll tell you something shady I've seen about the Spectra watermaker sales. If you start looking through the sales information you'll be able to find a lot of talk about how much energy the Clarke pump saves. The thing is it is all true, the Clarke pump is pretty efficient..BUT... What you will find is the wording can be excused in such a was as to exclude the boost pump(s) . Typically in order to get better performance you need up to 2 boost pumps. Which what they typically sell is the Shurflo series and they typically will pull 18 to 20 amps at 12 volts. Which is quite a lot. The 400c uses 24A at 12v according to the literature. They don't mention the feed pump or the second one needed to get better output. S right there it is 48 Amps they never talk about just with one feed pump. In fact I looked and looked through their documentation and they seem to purposefully exclude the feed pump specifications including their DC current draw. I guess they can't ruin the appearance they don't draw much. Here is what the brochure says about power consumption "Power Requirement12v DC 24A / 24v DC 12A 18 Watts/1 gal 4.8 Watts/1 liter. The truth is or seems to be if my info us close to correct:31.05 Watts per gallon. My watermaker with a 3a boost pump for instance uses 83A at 12v DC for really about 35 gallons per hour. 83A/35gal=2.37 Amps per gallon. Lets now convert to watts per gallon. Watts(Power)=Volts x Amps. So in a 12v system it would be 12v x 2.37 = 28.44 watts per gallon. Unless that boost pump is a real mean performing model that means my $16000 cheaper watermaker uses 28.44 watts to make a gallon, and the 400c uses 31.05 watts per gallon....Though even if you said it was 18 watts per gallon like the literature says, versus 28.44 wats per gallon. Solar makes up the difference during the day usually. You tell me can you tell how many amps the whole system pulls while in operation boost pump and all? Seriously let me know if what appears to be true actually is true? Does mine make more water faster, more economically, and with higher reliability or are they including the correct numbers in their sales literature? They might be if the feed pumps don't use much power. My opinion says no they don't provide exactly the correct numbers...but...what is actually the truth?

Such a great opportunity to meet new people and see beautiful new Islands too. Be blessed.
The colors in that video are unreal. Loved the piano boat, so cool. And nice fixing stuff !
I recently found your Sailing channel interesting and loves your adventure,
Congratulations for your wedding.
You got a new subscriber.

Great vlog! Continued maintenance progress and fun! We love Mio, too! It makes a healthy and tasty drink on the boat.

@@adventurecrews All too well.
So glad your windlass is fixed 😊 😁👏🏻🙌🏻🍻
It wasn't broke.
How cool was that concert...wow well done again you two
Stay positive. You're gaining subs rapidly.
