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 ...

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

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]

[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

[Music]

that's not an irons yet

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
