it is crunch time right now guys and I

haven't been this happy in a long time

because we got most of our parts in some

of them were still backorder but we're

not going to hold us back we're gonna

divert those to Till's brothers so then

he can bring them over to us when they

arrive in the meantime it looks like we

have a good weather weather can't even

say that a weather window opening in the

next few days and so we have been so

busy just trying to get everything ready

I have been doing laundry and doing

bedding up at the laundromat getting

everything ready there's nothing really

better than having fresh sheets and just

when you snuggle in when you're underway

it's just nice and just trying to get

everything ready I got all my provisions

on order and it should be arriving in

the next few hours so that's good in the

meantime I'm just kind of going through

everything and making sure that anything

we don't need we can unload it seems

like throughout all these travels so far

I've been able to unload just about 20

to 50 pounds at each port so that is

really good it just means that we don't

need as much as we thought we did I even

gave compass a bath which and a haircut

which he was not very happy about and

teal is down here right now it's doing

maintenance so we're gonna see how he's

doing

Tommy off guard

student I'll change I got the port

engine done already working on the

starboard engine it's not nice that we

have two engines that we have to do

maintenance on you know what's nice is

this new oil pump that first one we had

remember that little teeny brass one

took us forever he did that one this one

this one you just kind of pressurize the

tank and walk away

and it sucks it out it's

little one cuz stubby I know we only

have two point six quarts of oil on this

so it goes pretty quick

I can see Emma is helping she's

assisting or she's supervising yes good

job M so we got a lot to do so we're

gonna make it two days two days is it

two days two days two to three days yeah

it's two to three days I think we're

gonna probably leave yeah you're right

it might be two days few days Wow

let's get to work almost there I like to

change the oil no more than every

hundred hours I checked the log book and

it has been about 77 80 hours depending

on the engine so it's a little premature

but we're in a good place to do it so I

figured I might as well do it okay you

ready for this already we gotta hurry

cause the winds picking up I know it's

blowing to 10 to 15 now it's gonna be

blowing fifteen to thirty later we've

got a bowline in your Howard and click

to a safety a safety lanyard all your

tools are on lanyards even your cameras

on a lanyard so you should be good I'm

ready

okay project one

tada hell you're topping lift first

we're going up to do the topping lift

and then I'll bring you back down got it

I am now to the top of the mast and it's

a weird feeling I gotta say because I

haven't been up here in a long time

and the last time I was up here it was

dead calm so no wind right now I can

literally feel every shimmy of the masts

and lions in shrouds and everything else

because it's windy up here it's only

gonna get worse throughout the day so

hopefully we can get the halyard add the

topping lift replace so we can get or I

can get the heck down to her because as

fun as this is I would much rather be on

the boat then update you up here you see

the sheen the second one the empty one

that's what we need to feed it through

so if you drop that lead down to me drop

it real slow on the yellow lead so what

do you think you know best plans always

seem to go to crap because I had ordered

our groceries to be delivered and it

didn't come yesterday but what happens

it comes right now right in the middle

of me being up here so teal had to run

over and grab them I'm up here stuck

until he gets back

just hanging out

literally he's left me hanging I've been

up here for 20 minutes just hanging just

hanging out well you put the laser

crusher I'm freezing my butt off and I

can't do anything about it don't just

drop the whole thing kind of feed it

down to me okay Lynn's pulling the

topping lift up the tricky part is gonna

be feeding it through the top of the

mast and down the center of the mass

we'll see if this is even possible

hopefully it is how's the wind feel up

there hold this line right here and just

make sure the wind doesn't take off with

it

[Music]

[Music]

okay it's got to come through this slot

here so I have to pay attention when it

gets close to here

[Music]

okay I see it let go em yeah give me a

chopstick go give me a chopstick got it

[Music]

hang on this might work got it

[Music]

kind of her in so excited that was

unknown if that would work and it did so

let's get her down so it's real

interesting here in F storia every

morning the wind rushes down the

Columbia River out to sea then as

Central Oregon heats up

[Music]

today was 80 degrees in Portland and the

wind clocks around about two o'clock in

the afternoon and picks up here in

Astoria you know 15 20 25 sometimes 30

knots in the evening and this will all

be gone here in a few hours as soon as

that interior of Oregon cools off it's

kind of an interesting weather phenomena

but boy does get blustery here

[Music]

okay the wind died down enough this

morning that we could get the main

halyard in lens up there again we're

just raising it up so she can make the

connection then we'll have to feed it

through the mast

were you able to move it to the right

slot

I believe you just stole all your tools

and all lower you down

[Music]

[Music]

so here's the old halyard look at this

just it was ready to go so I'm glad we

took that down new halyard is sewn into

the old halyard now I have all my blocks

everything in line we'll pull this

through the mast and hopefully it makes

it through without snagging we'll see

[Music]

well we've been real busy the last

couple of days we've got our traveller

installed look at this

our main sheet is now rigged that was

fun to put in Lin got our topping lift

in and our halyard in yesterday and it's

slowly coming together there's a few

items we're still missing you know when

we put the topping lift in it came

through this slot here I had to put this

clutch right here on the mast to

accommodate that

and had to do some other temporary

things where we have a few blocks that

are on backorder our mass base blocks

they clip into these positions here we

have two that are on backorder one goes

here and one goes here one will handle

the topping lift and one handles our

mainsheet but to rig this up temporarily

I threw a soft shackle around the mass

base just to read guide this into the

right orientation so we could at least

get it strung up I think that'll do for

a while at least till we get those

blocks in hopefully they'll be in under

the next ten days but we should be well

down the coast by then so we'll have to

get creative fun having those forwarded

to us so we did have one other hiccup

while we were running all these lines

yesterday and it's to do with this rope

clutch right here this rope clutch I

don't know how old it is it came to the

boat it's been in storage I installed it

knowing the location that it needed to

be but now that we finally have the

leads going through there it's not

grabbing this rope clutch needs to be

rebuilt and they do have rebuild kits

for these it's about half the cost of a

brand new clutch so what I ended up

doing was ordering a new clutch last

night for Fisheries it should be here

this morning and I'm just gonna replace

this clutch I'm gonna keep this one and

order a rebuild kit for it that way I do

have a backup let me show you what

happened

look at this the lines are in there

locked in place

but they're not grabbing this need some

attention

I've been keeping Lynn real busy heaven

a busy gave me all the chores she's in

topping off all the batteries we try to

do this every three months how do they

look in there you're actually not bad

just a little good so you're almost done

keep at it

okay this project is done I think I

deserve wife of the year today is a big

day guys because we are just about ready

to reinstall our main that's right

our main is going back up today it's

been a really busy couple days for us I

feel good about what we've done in

re-rig and replacing lines and halyards

and topping lifts and everything else so

teal is right now down below getting the

main so then we can reinstall it Emma

her last day of school is tomorrow so

she is just having some downtime and

just decompressing in her stateroom

talking to her cousins on a video chat

so I know that I could be working and

helping teal right now but he worked me

like a dog the last couple of days so

I'm just gonna let him muscle it up

let's see I mean I hear all those

rattling but I really don't know what

he's doing

I got it you need help I just worry cuz

you might fall like last time that was a

freak incident
