stay tuned we're going to war last time

on sailing on a whim just after being on

the boat for a few days we had an

uninvited guest and had to take a few

days to deal with it

coming up you get to see what lights and

the marinas like as we start some of our

boat projects and bener name

[Music]

[Music]

all right Super Bowl Sunday and we went

up to the local watering hole our dock

mates saw we were certainly fortunate to

end up on the dock we did there were

people there from all over the world and

they welcomed us with open arms and

shared their lives and their knowledge

of boating with us they also invited us

to come watch the Super Bowl up at the

local bar really one of the highlights

of this lifestyle and living on a boat

was all the people you meet and we

certainly made friends for life

[Music]

another Super Bowl for the Patriots

congratulations pates so now that our

bug problem was affixed it was time to

start working on boat project so the old

owner James stopped by to drop off our

dinghy so we can start working on that

get that up to speed and also just to go

through the boat and show us other

projects that needed to be done all

right so any any you know soapy shower

water is gonna go in here right and then

you connect another line to a a little

pump right and then it pumps that shower

over right do you want to go and you

want to know where every plant is in

this book and get one eyeball and should

do it everyone doing that you're gonna

learn the system and that's that's some

of these SC advantage of working on

threading right he's like you don't want

a piece I'm gonna do it you want to do

it so you know how to fix it you know

how it works

yeah right yeah having James come out

and show us the systems on the boat and

just keep running us through things that

might need to be fixed and maintenance

that might need to happen or it would

need to happen was super valuable if he

had done that we would have been totally

lost and we might have even got

ourselves into some bad situations of

something broken we hadn't anticipated

it keep it one of the cool things he did

was he actually created an entire list

of all of the projects that needed to be

completed on the boat and maintenance

that needed to be completed so we went

over that in detail that day and went

through every detail of every project

that needed to be done and that really

helped us out

so it's gonna be follow the beer time

[Music]

right now we're following the beers and

there's Mike our neighbor and it was

Pete Pete hi doing page Cheers here you

hit here take it serious

well that's why I got

[Music]

very happy

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

nope so we probably had a little too

much fun with the neighbors last night

because it's like 9:30 and we haven't

done anything yet so this is kind of the

aftermath of what's what's happening

here this ever matter what's happening

right now hangover watching YouTube one

of my favorite channels The Adventures

of Tarka the guy's awesome how you

feeling there I feel I could feel worse

and I could feel better you feeling well

after a night of happy hours this turned

into one of the most productive days

we've had yet

which means productive and getting more

sleep she'll go from a nice nap start

working on something here soon it's

dingy repair time

[Music]

it's so ugly and so dirty we decided to

painted plus what's gonna make sure that

the doesn't have any holes in it so we

got some patches paper and kind of sand

it down a little bit that's okay with

height block and then we ate it with

acetone it kind of cleans it all up it

gets it ready for painting and then we

have dingy paint

[Music]

the standing ringing on our boat was

over 12 years old so it was something

that definitely needed to be replaced so

the next day the riggers came to take

down all the standing rigging and bring

it back to habit replace it's always

interesting to watch how these guys work

and then they go every day up and down

these masts working on rigging and I

thought it was really interesting to

watch

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay so we're heading over to check out

this golf star it's a gold star 52

because it's just the bear the bear wire

lifelines

and so I think we may depending on the

price we may have ringers

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

that weekend it just happened to be

Lobsterfest so bunch of us from arena

decided to head down and check it out

[Music]

laughs came so easily tonight

to keep you tight

cuz everything you did

[Music]

I swear

[Music]

right

[Music]

but you solution

just get it

get it right

[Music]

also seem like a fun place to take the

drone out so got it out we took it for a

spin

[Music]

and sir

tonight

I'm aware

right

[Music]

laughs screams ooh be silly

right

[Music]

what you doing there Danny so

we try to fix the leak and it's either

just too big of a leak with a little

patch to hold up keep up with

so I took the

Patrick put on their crap okay get rid

of some more of this

sure create a seal around it better I

think this just gets in there there's

our paint job looks pretty decent from

the front or the top I should say bottom

not so much but you know I do what you

can do everyone on the dock thinks it

looks good and so Mike just our neighbor

just was awesome enough to sell us his

two-stroke 10 horsepower Yamaha for

50 to 1 take the top off I think we

should be okay because the Yamaha our

combination is a hundred to one and but

the dealer recommended he do 50 to one

so if we're in between that okay you

can't tell this is the first time either

of us had ever been in a dingy or used

an outboard we totally felt like just

green Sally's simple things details

important important details

what do you pumping it to yep there's an

error I'm pretty sure we provided hours

of entertainment to our marina as they

watch this fumble through everything we

did for the first month arrow goes to

the motor right yeah I can feel it now

somewhere

Oh
