On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we pick up after we find some bad news on our Port engine. Once parts were ordered, it was a waiting game to see if we can get them delivered in a timely manner and get our engine back together. Linh finally gets her dinghy chaps made by a great crew and we do a little exploring of Mazatlán. Come back next week to see if we are able set sail further South. See you then!

previously on onboard lifestyle we
0:33
noticed that on the approach to mazatlan
0:35
our port engine was sounding a bit
0:37
different
0:41
after further inspection we can see that
0:44
our engine had come loose from the sail
0:46
drive this sucks this sucks
0:48
teal preps the engine for removal we
0:51
have a little change of plans
0:57
and uh
0:58
yeah we got a little unexpected little
1:00
hiccup
1:02
and i built these skids so we could
1:04
slide the engine this way okay wet
1:06
exhaust is off we're getting there i've
1:08
been uh prepping this engine getting
1:10
ready for the mechanic are you
1:12
comfortable yeah for sure okay so we
1:14
need to remove this plate
1:16
and look at what's happening she seemed
1:19
to slide much happier that time yeah
1:21
clear clear clear
1:23
clear there's our first look at it that
1:27
does not look good does it
1:29
with the problem identified the parts we
1:31
need were ordered and that's where we
1:33
continue our story
1:37
[Music]
1:49
[Music]
2:01
[Music]
2:09
this is a big day
2:11
because
2:13
we're doing something that we don't
2:14
usually do which is sub out and this is
2:18
something that i have been wanting for a
2:20
long time so that we can extend the life
2:22
of our dinghy is having some chaps made
2:25
we had chaps made on our last boat and
2:28
it's just more comfortable
2:30
the dew
2:32
doesn't really hit the chaps and
2:35
you know it just protects it so
2:37
as a splurge
2:39
we are going to have that sub out and
2:41
the guys are here now and they're going
2:44
to template it and they said they can
2:46
get it done in five days hopefully at
2:48
that point we can head on out we're
2:51
still waiting for parts for our
2:53
uh our engine so
2:55
you know
2:56
let's just get it done
3:02
[Music]
3:13
this is so exciting
3:15
legit we're just going to see some
3:17
friends dropping off some
3:19
some presents and i just noticed that
3:22
our upholstery guys
3:24
are heading towards our boat and doing a
3:26
dry fit oh my god i'm so excited
3:42
she is looking so good
3:54
this is going to for sure extend the
3:57
life
3:59
of our dinghy
4:01
literally this is
4:04
like a four day turnaround they were
4:06
here two days ago and already they got
4:08
the bulk of it done
4:10
they're doing the final test and then
4:13
going around all the cutouts
4:17
wow
4:42
so you do you think you got everything
4:46
i'm so excited by the way
4:49
to have an engine back no it's just get
4:51
confirmation that the parts were in and
4:53
yeah that's quite the process getting a
4:54
part here wasn't it yeah a little bit
4:57
look it
4:58
this is the little piece we need it
5:00
oh my god
5:02
a six dollar part
5:04
it's taken about a week to get
5:07
hey at least it's a week that's all i
5:08
have to say i know
5:10
and uh it was picked up yesterday at the
5:13
airport
5:14
the parts are here
5:16
patrick will be here this morning and
5:19
we'll uh muscle this thing back together
5:21
it's gonna go together like butter i
5:22
just have a feeling
5:24
we'll see though
5:27
i have high hopes though
5:28
i do too i feel like you know it could
5:31
have been worse
5:32
um it could have been better of course
5:34
but uh okay we're not out of the woods
5:36
yet i know we need to make sure that the
5:38
bolts all go in
5:41
this was the problem as the bolts backed
5:43
out of the sail drive they hit the
5:44
flywheel
5:46
and look at every single one is bent so
5:50
did they fall all the way out and were
5:51
tumbled by the flywheel to bend or did
5:53
they come halfway out hit the flywheel
5:56
and then
5:57
strip the threads that's what we'll find
5:59
out this morning
6:01
and that's what i'm nervous about but if
6:02
they go in fine we are good if they
6:06
don't we may have to uh you know re-tap
6:09
these things we'll see
6:11
we'll know in about an hour
6:14
[Music]
6:26
do
6:27
[Music]
6:45
i don't think it needs to be that strong
6:46
really if you kind of look at it it
6:48
doesn't but i i'm i don't want it to be
6:50
different in any way and it kind of
6:52
feels like a higher grade steel then
6:55
maybe
6:59
cleaned all up around this around the
7:01
shaft and that looks good yeah
7:03
so nice that was lynn she was in there
7:05
for half an hour yesterday he's
7:06
polishing okay
7:13
okay that one's set that's good
7:26
surprising a little amount of torque
7:27
isn't it
7:36
is that because of the aluminum casting
7:38
maybe
7:39
no you can
7:41
you can
7:42
you can get a bit higher than this to
7:44
even get twice as high
7:50
there's a little safety here so we can't
7:51
drop it
7:55
oh oh no back it up back it up we went
7:58
right on the outside yeah
8:00
again
8:02
[Music]
8:08
okay hold it right there
8:13
that's pretty close let me try to lower
8:15
mine a little bit
8:16
good job patrick come on
8:20
way to he-man that thing up
8:28
oh there got it oh that felt good yeah
8:31
just i just felt on when when she went
8:32
in i was like hang on a minute the
8:34
cheese she didn't did she okay no need
8:36
for these
8:38
we don't need these we don't no
8:40
everything's like tight
8:46
again
8:50
yeah that was nice
9:05
okay you ready yeah
9:07
it's the time we're uh
9:09
starting the engines yeah i'm good okay
9:12
lay in neutral
9:13
okay i'm turning the engine over
9:37
to neutral now
9:38
i guess
9:40
we'll tell we can tell once that we put
9:42
it in gear oh my god this is so
9:45
stressful
9:50
pull it forward gear
9:53
okay we're going into forward
9:56
forward gear
10:16
yeah let me go watch okay yeah we're
10:19
gonna go reverse but i'm gonna stand
10:20
here and watch okay because i can feel
10:22
us moving forward
10:26
going into reverse
10:34
i know i know
10:49
okay
10:54
bring it down to
10:57
and then kill the engine
11:03
go ahead
11:04
perfect
11:06
[Music]
11:19
okay guys thank you so much
11:22
hang on one second
11:24
and we actually got a little helper
11:28
that assistant thank you
11:30
it's gonna be a couple of runs
11:32
what do you say
11:34
hold up early
11:38
okay
11:52
this is so good they did such a good job
11:55
and it was done
11:56
actually a day early so we can now leave
12:02
[Music]
12:26
okay this was kind of funny because we
12:28
couldn't figure out the bus system so
12:31
teal went and asked
12:33
somebody that was working at a nearby
12:35
restaurant
12:36
about the buses and he just points over
12:39
here and literally is like
12:42
a couple hundred feet from where we were
12:45
at
12:46
you got so much fun with me
12:49
it was around the corner i didn't see it
12:53
okay get out here come on that was
12:55
pretty funny
12:56
get the coins ready because when it
12:57
falls around this car we gotta just
12:58
quickly clean
13:00
are you filming
13:05
okay so it's 12 pesos a person
13:09
and they like the correct change
13:11
well they're not going to give us change
13:12
so well they'll give you change they
13:14
just don't like to make change
13:17
there we go you got yours yep i got mine
13:21
oh that's not it
13:22
that's not the kind of bus we're getting
13:24
on we want the green boxes
13:49
okay so we are now in the central market
13:53
and we are on the hunt for some good
13:54
food
13:56
it's everywhere come on let's just stop
13:58
i'm starving i know we're all starving
14:15
all right eat up my pretties
14:17
this is the first stop of many
14:19
today it's all about food today
14:23
oh i'm going for the spice
14:41
party is not a good
14:44
that's plano
14:46
really good
14:49
uh every every area in mexico has their
14:52
own style of taco and here on matalan
14:54
they have the dorado style so that means
14:57
it's crispy on the outside
14:59
and
14:59
it is delicious okay
15:06
with the engine fixed
15:08
the chaps for the dinghy complete and
15:10
our stomachs full it was time to
15:12
reprovision basic with supplies
15:15
so he went to the jose maria pino sores
15:18
marcavo in the heart of mazatlan
15:21
this marketplace is an experience all by
15:24
itself
15:25
the fruit and vegetable vendors along
15:26
with the meat and seafood vendors
15:29
selling their products as fresh as can
15:31
be
15:32
it's hard not to go overboard loading up
15:34
with as much as we could carry
15:36
but this was our last chance before we
15:38
checked out of mazalan so we certainly
15:40
took advantage of this amazing market
15:46
[Music]
16:03
it's beyond me
16:08
i never knew your
16:10
thoughts were about me
16:15
i must have been dreaming at all
16:20
[Music]
16:31
me
16:34
[Music]
16:48
here is our home for tonight we are
16:51
anchored
16:52
you know why they call it the stone
16:54
island acreage there isn't any islands
16:57
named stone here
17:00
but it is what it is it's a nice
17:01
anchorage this is my favorite i just
17:03
love being anchored out
17:06
i get claustrophobic in a in a marina
17:08
yeah i know it's the air stagnated there
17:11
there seems like there's a lot of bugs
17:13
you girls got eaten alive in there
17:15
what's the final count for you today a
17:17
few minutes ago i have 19 bug bites
17:19
right now yes emma and i are being eaten
17:21
alive
17:22
by these mosquitoes and they tried it
17:26
zero willpower because we scratch they
17:28
have a tough time gnawing through my
17:30
calluses i guess
17:35
and we're leaving tomorrow it looks like
17:38
yeah we'll be here one night we'll leave
17:39
here tomorrow afternoon about
17:41

night nice conservative speed should get

17:59
when we can and
18:00
