hey guys welcome back to sp basic as you

can see a lot has changed since the last

episode so check out this one and we

will get you up to speed of what we've

been up to I'm telling you it's been a

crazy crazy couple of weeks it's about

three weeks ago we were just buttoning

up the rudders got those installed with

the hydraulic steering then we had to

jump directly onto the engines ton of

electrical for the charging systems and

linkage for the for the engine controls

got fuel systems and the raw water

intakes tellings a blur now but we're

scrambling to get all that done and we

had to because about six months ago we

scheduled our haul out date and we had

to hold to that date because there's not

many places here in Washington that it

can accommodate a 25-foot beam so once

we got our appointment we were doing

everything we could to keep it so we

scrambled and we got it done but two

days before we had to leave the dock

engines are going felt good felt real

good

[Music]

but then the next two days we had to

scramble and knock a ton of items off

that board we had pulled sticky notes

off just left and right we had to get a

few things in order before we left the

dock we had to get some basic

electronics rollin we needed VHF radios

I put one at the nav station and another

one at the helm

we pulled wires for a depth sounder

wanted to make sure we could read the

depths on our on our trip we also

handled a couple kind of life and safety

items we put in a life ring we put an e

per bin we also threw fire temperatures

all throughout the boat mounted those up

permanently we also had to get our

ground tackle in we had to put it in

anchor chain Road cousin er mercy we had

to use it I wanted to make sure it was

available so we just kind of scrambled

for those three days and tried to button

everything up in Seattle we had a a lot

to organise on the boat dock pox is just

filled with things that we had to take

care of but then it was time to go we

left two days before our haul out and we

wanted to do it just a quick short

little run over to Bainbridge Island

just to test the engine test the

steering and that gave us kind of a day

or two of of adjustments if we needed it

before our haul out so that's what we

did we just cut the line from the dock

for the first time

headed under a couple bridges and onto

the locks hey Emma you ready to go yeah

just getting compass and I situated

Google backpack we're going through all

the systems right now both engines sound

great and teal is just checking all the

lines come out to say goodbye to us

[Music]

doing a helos fest want to give me

alignment I got out a little bit here

it's amazing what that did yeah okay you

almost ready it's exciting we will ten

years people this has been 10 years

yeah let's clear

yeah let's cast off okay no run back

here

[Music]

hey Linda Kendall's line

[Music]

tiny out here

of course not hit up a little step right

here right yeah right down the middle

[Music]

hey mo anything exciting

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

find your own palette read that second

bridge for today

[Music]

the clearance on that is 44 feet

[Music]

what's our mass we're 63

so we would brush it a little a little

bit looks like compass was taken sailing

like a champ and I'm sorry he doesn't

really know what this is he's just like

kind of windy out

[Music]

that's a beautiful thing when the bridge

opens up

[Music]

we've been waiting for about an hour in

the holding area to get through the

locks it is a very busy voting yeah yeah

it's a busy voting day look at this

traffic must be 50 boats lined up to get

in here this will be interesting

[Music]

I know they're on both sides they're

lining up on both sides so we're just

gonna go to this side first to see what

they say he's asking what side

forty-four

[Music]

coppy

next week both side of the wall guys

work on the wall

let's go everybody

they made us go through the small lock

last

got it

[Music]

look at the ceiling stand up

[Music]

I need the loop in your life

okay we're in the large locks they're

packing them in right now

compasses not feeling it a little

stressful coming into these sometimes we

haven't done this in a while I said for

me that happens hey pretty close up are

high totally failed so this has been a

huge experience for Emma yes so glad is

such a pretty day

hectic yes there's a lot of you here we

saw some people not prepared for going

to the lux that you do have to have 50

footers

it's very interesting seeing how

everybody deals with a little stress

little pressure

but I did the crew did good

and we are about to disembark into salt

water

cucumbers cool as cucumbers yeah

can you hear me

Emma actually is doing really good she's

learning a lot

that learning-by-doing

kind of really helps her appreciate

everything yeah

I'm gonna admit

kind of giving me the feels

we have been going in and out of these

locks with our first mode and now this

one

for the past 20 years

this is the last time we're gonna go

through

long time not sure

so that nostalgia is done okay after

having a couple near hits kind of

whipped you back into reality that

boating is no joke and you gotta stay on

task at all times so I think we did good

to leave the locks

and I'm really proud of our crew

Emma can you breathe now oh that red

line is that in the water it's down the

water's clear so captain teal you're

getting close to the port side

starboard side sorry

you feel good now better

Jorge crazy fellas occurence excited

those exciting to say the least right

yeah all right say goodbye to Seattle it

was nice knowing you and we will see you

when we see you because it's time to see

the world

well can't to say that was a smooth day

we made it from our slip in Lake Union

under to draw bridges through the locks

and we are crossing over to Bainbridge

Island and shredded a belt but we fixed

it in a pretty cool location I mean look

at this

[Music]

we are staying people we met in the Sea

of Cortez and they have become great

friends good let us pull up to their

dock

I fixed the belt and we're gonna enjoy a

nice evening of relaxation and

reminiscing about the good old days but

look at this people

we've started our journey

[Music]

and good morning kind of taking it all

in today look at this

saying goodbye to Seattle it spent the

night in Eagle Harbor relaxed a little

it was nice enough to Port Townsend

engine seem to be running smooth

still surreal that we're off the dock

for the first time in almost a decade

feels good it feels real good

was it the help

I think she's enjoying this and the

still asleep will let her sleep in

so we're cruising along about five and a

half knots it's got about a I don't know

8 10 knot headwind on us right now but

I'm not gonna push these engines yet not

at all I want to get the boat hauled out

of the water and take a look at the sail

drives and the props before I even

consider bringing the RPMs up a little

more we're at 2,000 rpms and just gonna

keep it easy take our time get in there

we'll have the boat out of the water by

tomorrow

and once the sail drives are serviced

and I felt a little more history on

these engines I'm feeling more

comfortable to push it but until then

please plug along beautiful day though

okay we're just passing the Kingston

ferry terminal and we have about 26 25

miles to go

[Music]

so we've been in this for about five and

a half hours and we hit the tidal

currents perfectly so it pushed us up we

were doing an average about nine knots

which is amazing beautiful out

everything is working pretty good I

think we're systems to do it pretty good

no compliance

our little crew very happy Emma's just

reading compass is just napping

seem to find a comfortable spot you're

talking warms up you put somewhere else

I don't know the engines have been just

humming along this perfectly so I feel

much more comfortable so we're about I'd

say 15 20 minutes in entering for

Townsend

we get hauled out tomorrow excited I am

excited it's it's one of those nervous

excitement but I can't wait to see

what's underneath this boat how's the

crew do it

are you tired yet tired of all that

reading No

[Music]

nope it's like this this is extremely

intimidating because we are 25 feet beam

and it's low tide it doesn't even look

like it's possible

it looks okay but it says on the chart

and everything that it's it's deep

enough

we'll see

[Music]

I'm kind of scared to I don't want to

see how close money room plenty of room

I trust you where we had ladies go

check-in

[Music]

[Music]

okay here's the monster that's gonna

pull us out tomorrow Jesus looks like

something from Star Wars

okay here we are in Port Townsend will

be hauled out here our slots for

tomorrow at noon the run up here wasn't

too bad

was it 40 miles took us over six hours

stuff like that

so we're tucked in here for the night

and just relaxing a bit before the busy

day tomorrow

it's the morning of the haul out

beautiful morning nice and calm

we're all staged here we're being hauled

out actually in the big travel lift over

here a couple hours from now I think I'm

all set though

am i nervous just a bit

but inside it too

well I don't think this lift is gonna

even feel us in this way okay we've been

preparing all morning to be hauled out

they want lines on the four corners and

they wanted me to mark out all the

bulkheads which I've marked with white

boughs on the on the rails and they also

want me to mark out the sail drives with

red so that when they're lining up there

their slings they could miss or hit the

areas they want also tied up the dagger

boards pulled them out of the water make

sure that the slings aren't touching

those at all and put safety lines on

those so they don't drop what's leave or

accidentally drop once we're up in the

air we're getting pretty close I think

there's another boat or two in front of

us and then we're we're on for the show

kind of sit

they're gonna splash this 65 north oven

then grab us

[Music]

a little head win here

we are about to enter into the sling and

get wasted out

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

this whole process has been pretty

interesting actually these guys know

what they're doing I think they've done

this a time or two

a little nerve-wracking sometimes

watching what they're doing but I'm sure

that's expected

he's got stay out of the way let him do

the job

okay here we are we're settled into our

new home for the next four to six weeks

we got a lot to do it's gonna be an

adjustment living it on the hard we have

no water so we use the showers and the

facilities here in the marina and just

adjust

it's all part of the adventure we got a

lot to do but for now it's been a long
