I have decided to put in my notice I
will be officially unemployed so much
stuff well let's get it to go do this
I know so you know what I think some of
this stuff Emma will fit now but I think
that I was able to get about almost 200
pounds off well I'm gonna weigh it and
we're gonna see where you're at so we'll
put that at the top of the screen how
much weight
so we'll do a countdown yes right
countdown the thousand pound challenge
countdown it's 26 degrees out and
drifting snow
just hang on
I want this leading-edge to wrap around
so I've been doing a lot of school work
today and I wanted to come hang out
outside and see what my dad's up to
hello what are you doing just finishing
up here
looks so nice over here here's where the
works going to happen for the steering
sometimes he's just not fun they
transfer the energy from the tie bar 90
degrees to a strut that goes to the
rudder okay there it is right there okay
now I'm gonna feed this through the
linkage channel
a lot of little calculations to make
sure that the RAM is mounted in the
correct position show you the back of
plate hey compass come on get out of
there
come look at that nice shiny brand-new
cylinder okay yeah it feels real solid
what do you think I think that's pretty
good let's get the wheel on they had to
put everything in the correct order with
the exception of one glaring error the
wheels on backwards but I did not give
it a try right now look at that actually
works where we had in people we're gonna
see you around sailing we gotta get
these engines going is it intimidating
hell yeah it's intimidating but I'm
gonna figure it out I can't wait to pump
this out I mean it's been sitting in
there what nine years okay to make this
all work I do a little bit of research
I'm going to be drinking a ton of these
for him
okay this panel is complete now I think
I took my dad's work before he did
anything too permanent just a few
minutes from firing these up
I mean why stall anymore let's try this
go ahead
[Music]
I'm gonna admit
[Music]
we're gonna go through
long time so that nostalgia is done okay
after having a couple of near hits
kind of whipped you back into reality
that voting is no joke and you gotta
stay on task at all time but look at
this people we started our journey
saying goodbye to Seattle so we've been
in this for about five and a half hours
and we hit the tidal currents perfectly
I'm kind of scared to I don't want to
see how close plenty of room
I trust you okay here's the monster
that's gonna pull us out tomorrow
[Music]
this whole process has been pretty
interesting actually these guys know
what they're doing
our view is going to be different for a
couple of weeks here we are important
ounces on the heart and we got a lot to
do like butter you could reach what I
needed somebody with little hands ok
teal are you doing okay I need to class
in these cassettes bridge decks gonna
take the longest I mean it's a ton a ton
of work
it seems like you're getting there until
you take a step back and you see
everything what happened somebody has a
toothache we're getting to know another
six feet try to get a layer on each day
on these get a layer on the deck
stiffener and get some sanding done so
feels like Groundhog's Day right now a
few weeks now
you like it yeah it's tough I lost my
mom it's been devastating most you know
we had a family tragedy and it's it put
the boat projects on hold I mean we I
mean at that point it was all about
family
we have 16 of these to eliminate some of
these just for brittle I mean we just
went to turn them and look at this just
snapped in half
it blends inside here right now prep on
the interior surface all smiles how you
doing put down the first layer here hand
sand this all out and then I can feel it
and if I need it I know their skin coat
goes on we had a little emergency in the
yard
let's take a look at that
[Music]
his-and-hers great this is not a small
[Applause]
he'll have been taping the boot stripe
get tired of this already
[Music]
all right this is the moment of truth I
put a nice bead of sealant on here teal
is almost done with this side with the
first coat but it is looking so good I
know it's tough to make a video about
paint and make it not boring but to me
this is exciting
[Music]
okay we're getting our first 8 foot
length up and I'm real happy with how
it's going down but I really need to
start on these sailed rides it doesn't
even measure kind of nice getting these
painted up isn't it well I'm not gonna
lie I was brutal bang come to a good
point to put a barrier coat down so what
do you think oh my gosh it looks so good
the big step wasn't it
I've been waiting for this moment for a
while to put our graphics
[Music]
up and ready for the install here I've
been applying this try lux every six
hours all that pitting that was in the
sale drives before is gone that
protective barrier coat along with this
try locks
I feel real comfortable with these
drives to have a long long life ahead of
them we are in crunch time because now
we have a splash date flash date t-minus
four days one project I really wanted to
tackle while we're on the hard is these
dagger wars
[Music]
it feels good to get new violin paint on
[Music]
okay next I'm going to put on the Kiwi
props well this is it this machine right
here it's gonna lift us up in a half an
hour
hey flash Nate so excited
[Music]
we're floating haha
and to proper renaming ceremony
[Music]
[Applause]
our name is official a lot of things to
do number one on the list is ground
tackle okay feeling good about the
mechanical ends of our ground tackle our
rock 925 C it's perfect
This Is It this is our first day at
anchor in a very long time Terran
turning into the solar because we're not
gonna last too much without power done
in one hour and we will have solar and
I'm putting out 20 amps of power right
now off the 500 watts of solar boom was
back um when he tried to prank me in the
shower and I swore I'd get him back well
it's time
[Music]
the dinging song get out here what a
nice play good thing he's gone put it in
try not to scratch anything on the way
in Lynn's going through right now
sorting out just boxes of hardware we've
taken off so we'll probably take off
tomorrow morning
head up to Lopez Island we did have an
issue though with our starboard engine
on the way up here it was we were
getting a little a little bit of steam
actually quite a bit of steam out of the
exhaust so here we are
another day another Anchorage we are
currently in fisherman's Bay on Lopez
Iowan
[Music]
this will be the backup late for our jib
track and then these are the risers and
backer plates for our clutches and
weights about ready give me a second I
barely understand what you're trying to
get it it's pretty self-explanatory
perfect we were still doing work but
it's different now because we're on the
move all the time and it's rainin it's a
tight Anchorage here to make your way
out of but we'll be fine
just hooking it around the corner over
to Friday Harbor you know we made it but
was half a month off the dock and our
power was never an issue our solo was
keeping up fine my water pump has a
hairline crack on the bottom of it
luckily we keep a spare water pump on
board but having a little bit of a
weather event here tomorrow actually
they're calling for a gale storm
starting to ramp up out here we're on
the move again it was really ugly we
stayed an extra day and Friday Harbor
because it was a blow and now that's
over it is perfect for us to head off to
our next destination
which is real charmer
that Yanmar 3ym 30
just humming along what in there got our
application for our decals to come back
to the country stamped that's right
we're leaving the country here tomorrow
morning
have a nice walk through the forest with
spectacular views all the way we have
been on the hook here two days and both
nights were just calm and wonderful
[Music]
this place is really cool but I can't
wait to go to Canada Wow
Claire okay well this is our home for
tonight we're already only underway for
less than 45 minutes and we're already
almost to the northern tip of the
peninsula okay we grabbed our our
mooring ball here it's high tide right
now I've snup it up pretty tight because
look at this not much room here picking
Emma - sure - go hang out with some kids
yeah it's a gloomy day it's raining it's
miserable guess it kind of matches my
mood right now after our last anchorage
we had some issues with a sail drive
[Music]
rollers for our Kiwi prop came in the
waters way colder start working on deck
hard work start laying this stuff out I
mean that's how we're here we're here to
get the sails going
[Music]
Thundra kind enough to lend us a little
runabout so we can get some errands done
let's go big ship then we opened it up
it was just like Christmas all over
again we killed the engines flew our jib
and what's our speed right now 1.4 in
1.8 knots so we are gonna just mosey
along and enjoy this what do you think
young times like this when we are just
anchored out at the end of the day and
the Sun comes out everything's dry and
you got a beautiful view I just forget
about the cold
you got your handsome husband to share
it with cheers Eddie we're on the move
once again we left Canada and came back
to the US we are in Port Angeles right
now sort of crash mega yacht just
munched into everybody over here
what happened
[Music]
I have this tank watch system it's a
wiemer group tank wat system and it's
time to put it in
and there we go it's on we'll leave at
daybreak and have a nice sail up the
Strait of Juan de Fuca so it'll be a
chilly run and we'll make it into Neah
Bay right before sunset I'd have a
situation though our our jib track or it
let go with a big pop pretty successful
day we're about 60 miles into this this
journey today and we're on the
homestretch here we are
Neah Bay at the Makah tribal marina Luna
biz look at this blade this is amazing I
love this place looks like I got a good
project I thought we had a bigger window
than this
oh we had about two three hours got that
track down in the time
temporary nuts and now we're going to
cut them off and put those acorns back
on you know we have 10 dark lines now
holding us to the dark I'm glad I put
them out it is just unreal outside
it seems like they're hitting us in the
mill the night every night
this is three nights in a row while we
Rania Bay they're having a tsunami drill
so we're participating the sea lions
aren't the weather has been horrendous
it looks like we're gonna be here for a
few more days because we have been
battling these major storm systems in
the meantime we're gonna tackle
something else that's really important
and that is our AIS looks like our
weather window to leave
Neah Bay will be tomorrow morning
beautiful day let's go I'm excited and
this is a big day because this is Emma's
first trip out in the ocean that's a bit
unnerving all of this flooding and rain
that we had last week we're seeing a ton
of debris out here
okay we've got a log up under it under
us right now we are updating our
situation with you we collided with a
40-foot log so here's what we were
getting the log out we finally get it
here and we had to hope to for the night
and look at this path it just held us
nice and steady all night long to go
back to the bush I was able to go from
the bow all the way back to the sail
drives and inspect it real thorough I
was pleasantly surprised to just see
cosmetic damage gotta love those gales
huh boy the weather here has been
volatile it's all or none in the Pacific
Northwest right now okay here comes that
next weather system I know whether it's
a big part of our life right now
[Music]
we were talking to a local fisherman
named Daryl and we were getting to talk
about fish and I mentioned that I like
steelhead and look what he got us
I could really concentrate on my school
work right now because I can smell all
day for Emma it's Halloween and she
wanted to dress up and you know spend
some time with other kids so we're gonna
stick around today she's getting ready
now on the boat and we'll go

Halloween festival here in town in La
Push and we'll let her have her fun time
