We've been rather lazy this Summer in regards to videos. We've been learning to sail, and that was our priority. So, we're finally ready to take our awesome ...

previously on Vashti she splashes for

cardiac tamponade also known as
pericardial tamponade is when fluid in
the pericardium or the SEC around the
heart builds up resulting in compression
of the heart onset maybe rapid or
gradual symptoms typically include those
of cardiogenic shock
including shortness of breath weakness
lightheadedness and cough
other symptoms may relate to the
underlying

we lost Tesla guys and it's the last few
weeks have been really hard two days
before we lost her it was probably the
best day of my whole life getting bashed
out across Lake Erie for the first time
it was the weekend of the Venetian
celebration at the Detroit Yacht Club
I think we may have snub with some of
the members by not participating but we
were too busy preparing for our maiden
voyage two months of sailing lessons and
racing and off the docks on other
people's boats and we finally felt ready
to experience sailing this fantastic if
you know Tammy and I you won't be
surprised that our first time away from
the dock and our boat is a fifty some
nautical mile trip across Lake Erie to a
remote Canadian island B Lee island
within the first few hours we were
already calling on everything we learned
from lead Chesney and Toronto because
crossing our path was a series of storms
and squalls just at the mouth of Lake
Erie luckily we had a planned stop at
Bob Lowe Island to check into Canada
we were always lining on our feet our
[Music]
let's get the B we were in a fairytale
Lake Erie is notorious at this the
western end because it's so shallow
compared to the rest of the lake so
whenever you have an easterly wind waves
build all the way across the lake and
then pile up here in the shallows just
like a giant leaf and like we used to
visit his kids
[Music]
spare
maybe we could think of the sound yeah
that maybe
howdy everyone so this is supposed to be
our big trip and so yesterday was
lightning storms so we hunkered down at
Bob Lowe Island and today the weather is
cooperating but there's no wind so we're
just sort of bobbing around hazy eat
let's make a across Lake Erie not too
exciting but at least we're doing
something so let's cool and this is what
it is all about pick up from a nice
direction look at what happened 52:19 is
back in business
we are rocking

where's the poop come here Tesla Tesla

close-hauled on a starboard tack and 10
to 15 knots of wind we were pushing 6
knots of speed not bad for a first try
even though we got a late start we were
still rounding the sandbar at fish point
well before sunset with plenty of time
to anchor and take the dog ashore to do
some business
[Music]
oh is that it
she's got a robe leg and she thinks
you're nuts
you
and that the worst day of my life and we
were so worried that it was something
that that we did that it was our fault
bringing her into this lifestyle that
somehow she couldn't handle it but at
least now we know there wasn't anything
we could do
and now we don't know what to do with
ourselves she she was the keystone of
the whole decision to rush into this
life because we didn't want to do
without her and we wanted to do it
before she was sooo old and now she's
gone and our life is a mess
we're basically dysfunctional
but we need to get back out there we
need to we need to get back out
the next day was a lot like this one
except for the fact that Tesla suddenly
stopped breathing late in the afternoon
so early the next morning we made a
rough close-hauled sail straight to
Kingsville where some gracious friends
led us into the Cedar Island Yacht Club
and a vet medicine the dock to accept
Tesla's body since we didn't feel much
like spending any more time on the boat
that day we spent the night in the club
and took a needed break but early the
next morning we needed to head for home
[Music]

it would be easy to end this episode
here but the story doesn't end here
it keeps going since this trip was if
nothing else to shake down there were
things to fix we'd blown an exhaust hose
and the alternator had fallen off its
bracket so a few days later we made the
needed repairs and went out on a day
sale with a friend visiting from Oregon
I forgot to record but now I'm recording
GoPro on driving

despite being helplessly sad most of the
time we tried to take advantage of the
good days then a few weeks later we set
back up to cross Erie again make sure
