On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, the crew pulls a Seinfeld and shows you a whirlwind trip going backwards to when we get basik ready to leave her for a much needed trip back to the States to see family. Come back next week to see what other surprises awaits us now that we are back onboard. See you then!

on our last episode of onboard lifestyle
0:33
we kick project mode into high gear and
0:36
the crew works together to knock out as
0:37
much as we can before we leave back to
0:39
the states it's a family affair today we
0:42
have a bit of fun with thickened epoxy
0:45
thickened epoxy and after a hard hot
0:48
week of work we feel good about taking a
0:51
decent bite out of our post-it project
0:53
wall that gets you caught up so let's
0:55
continue our story
0:59
[Music]
1:08
[Music]
1:21
so everything is good right
1:23
everything's everything works good
1:25
so far look at this look here's our
1:27
temperatures
1:28
this is our our freezer right now and
1:30
this is our refrigerator good yes very
1:33
normal very normal yes yeah and uh this
1:36
side this tells me my history right here
1:38
so overnight we were down to one degree
1:41
uh and the high was only nine in there
1:43
and this shows our range here depending
1:45
on if we have the doors open or closed
1:46
right yeah dude
1:48
so everything's running smooth and i
1:51
thank you very much for helping us out
1:53
okay no but it was very nice work with
1:55
you yeah it was very nice okay and i'm
1:58
pretty sure to meet you huh yeah yes
2:00
thank you so much for doing this so fast
2:03
put the camera in your face always okay
2:05
yes
2:06
thank you so much thank you so much
2:19
don't puncture it i'm being careful
2:22
don't worry
2:30
that's what i was trying to avoid
2:35
[Music]
2:37
don't come out with a broken finger or
2:39
something
2:49
got it
2:52
just another day on sb basic
2:58
refrigeration
3:00
and schoolwork
3:02
well think about this
3:04
refrigeration works great when you live
3:06
in a cold environment you start hitting
3:08
these hot temperatures high humidities
3:10
it starts working out
3:12
hey compass
3:14
i think you got them come on this is
3:16
actually a great time for us to get this
3:18
stuff fixed because
3:20
we are in the winter time of mexico and
3:23
it's only going to get hotter
3:26
and um
3:28
yeah spring and summer coming up
3:31
really nervous about this summer
3:34
i'm gonna be
3:36
you'll be fine
3:38
you'll be fine
3:40
this is good news less than an hour
3:43
since gustavo and his uh
3:46
team left and we are at 11 and a half
3:49
degrees fahrenheit in the freezer and 42
3:53
in the fridge so this is good news
3:57
meanwhile
3:59
here's teal
4:02
doing everything i can to
4:04
make sure that
4:06
this ventilation in this box i mean i
4:09
may add more who knows this
4:11
as temperatures increase we must adjust
4:15
well the ventilation is only going to
4:18
help the compressor not work so hard
4:21
that's right
4:22
when it works
4:24
more efficiently that's less amps
4:26
which means more battery
4:29
and a happier fridge
4:33
i think it's pretty cool that we had
4:34
this stuff already
4:39
i mean that's what we got all these
4:40
little spare things for knowing that
4:42
we'd have to do things
4:44
as we travel
4:47
now look at this starting to look pretty
4:50
huh
4:51
yeah
4:52
what
4:57
there we go
4:59
now clean up the mess
5:02
and this project's done
5:10
okay this temperature started this
5:12
morning at 40 and it is now at 30
5:16
degrees in the freezer obviously that
5:18
means that the refrigerator is going to
5:20
go down eventually too
5:23
i hear my fridge humming nicely
5:27
hey we're not
5:28
we're not done yet we're not out of the
5:30
woods yet
5:32
so what did he do we got a good job
5:35
okay number one
5:36
the fan burned up and that was the root
5:39
of our problems
5:41
when the fan burned up it was
5:42
overheating the compressor
5:45
and that was
5:47
the crunching the moaning everything was
5:49
just unhappy in here
5:51
we put a fan on here to try to make it
5:53
work for a while but what's different
5:55
about the fan well this is ingenious but
5:59
the original fan was in this slot here
6:01
it's impossible to get it out without
6:03
tearing everything out dropping this out
6:05
getting this out and there's screws way
6:07
back there so he has mounted the fan on
6:09
the opposite side now and it's actually
6:11
pulling
6:12
air through this rather than uh pushing
6:14
it
6:15
so it actually is uh he said it doesn't
6:17
matter no it doesn't right but it makes
6:19
it easier access oh no i could i could
6:21
change the fan out in his heartbeat now
6:22
if this fan ever burns up
6:24
which fans do have a lifespan
6:27
it's i mean it's easy i can replace this
6:29
in 10 minutes now
6:31
we're gonna be on his recommendation
6:32
we're going to add some more ventilation
6:34
into the uh freezer box here
6:37
and
6:38
there's still
6:39
the the big question now is this right
6:41
here look at
6:43
our 110 system while this
6:46
happened
6:47
when it overheated
6:50
the 110 this one's on 12 volt and 110.
6:53
the 110 is not functioning so there's an
6:56
internal fuse in here or a circuitry
6:58
that's burned up something happened when
7:00
this overheated he's looking for parts
7:01
right and yeah we didn't want to tear
7:03
into this right now until he determines
7:05
whether or not we could get the parts
7:07
uh parts of mexico as everyone knows is
7:10
sometimes uh hard to get and it's even
7:12
harder because of the supply issues
7:14
right but right now we don't need 110
7:17
we're running on 12 volt most of the
7:18
time anyway but it's nice to have the
7:19
option of 110
7:21
uh
7:22
but right now it's running smooth it's
7:24
humming along sounds quiet it's happy
7:26
and i'm happy well let's watch that
7:29
temperature for the next two hours i'm
7:30
going down so i know i'm really happy
7:33
about that
7:34
who's that 40 degrees
7:36
in the freezer teal they at least you
7:38
know what's nice
7:39
they have all the right equipment to
7:41
check
7:42
oh yeah they checked the uh the freon
7:45
the refrigerant i don't i don't think
7:46
it's freon anymore i don't know what's
7:48
in there but they checked the
7:48
refrigerator well he called it freyo
7:50
they checked the pressure
7:52
because that was another concern i had
7:54
was that maybe we punctured one of these
7:56
lines and or we have a break in the
7:57
system but we had pressure we've got a
8:00
refrigerant everything else is looking
8:02
good so let's watch this today and
8:05
well he's going to get back to us on
8:06
whether or not we need to replace uh
8:08
some circuitry in here
8:10
but besides that i'm uh sighing a little
8:13
bit of relief it's uh
8:15
it's at least uh
8:16
it seems happy
8:18
when it's happy i'm happy
8:20
and when it's happy you're happy
8:23
and if i'm not happy nobody's happy
8:25
that's right
8:27
i'm sorry we'll just leave it open he
8:29
said no no i'm gonna leave one open and
8:30
i'm gonna start
8:32
mapping out a ventilation up here
8:39
so the refrigeration guys are here and
8:42
teal's just kind of going over with them
8:44
about what is going on with it
8:47
i am uh hoping that everything can be
8:50
fixed and it is a quick and fast fix as
8:53
well we're able to salvage all of the
8:56
things that's in our fridge and freezer
8:58
because we have a friend who has some
9:00
resource space so thank goodness for
9:02
them we're gonna
9:04
grab everything and bring it over to
9:05
them now
9:06
and uh hopefully by the end of the day
9:09
or maybe tomorrow who knows things will
9:11
be back to normal and i can have my
9:13
fridge and freezer back together because
9:15
i just
9:16
i can't live without it i need it
9:19
and that is the only way that i will be
9:21
able to function on board
9:23
i know
9:25
so sorry
9:27
what a thing to come back to right
9:30
frustrating
9:31
yeah anyways i have faith in these guys
9:45
pump
9:50
we are all now
9:52
back on board
9:55
now comes the hard part or the fun part
9:57
too is unpacking all of our goodies
10:01
yeah there's one of these is all of our
10:03
clothes the rest are
10:04
stuff for the boat gear for the boat
10:07
well you know she deserves it ah she
10:09
needs it
10:10
so that'll be fun but we also came home
10:13
to a little situation we did the boat uh
10:16
looks good
10:17
a little dirty that's not that dirty
10:19
it's dirty a little bit of dust here and
10:21
there but
10:22
yep
10:23
what's the big problem the big problem
10:25
right now where the big bottom
10:27
is our refrigeration yeah
10:29
it's the refrigeration while we were
10:31
gone right as we were leaving
10:34
something went
10:36
funny in our refrigerator
10:38
this thing the victor freighto has been
10:40
bulletproof for
10:42
how long we have it seven eight years
10:43
now
10:44
yeah five six i don't know no it's still
10:46
more longer than that
10:50
looking at the temperature the freezer
10:51
is at 24 degrees it's usually at one or
10:54
two
10:55
and the refrigerator is usually in the
10:56
mid-30s yeah about 33 32 sometimes so
11:01
i know the fan went out
11:03
while we were up in the states i picked
11:05
up some spare parts for this and i'm
11:07
hoping uh that'll fix it
11:09
if not
11:11
we gotta start uh
11:13
figuring out how to fix it because we
11:14
cannot live without refrigeration no we
11:16
gotta have refrigeration i need
11:17
refrigeration which means you guys need
11:19
refrigerant do you remember it being
11:21
this hot here
11:22
well we were just in texas and it was
11:24
freezing in time it was freezing we got
11:26
acclimated to cold real quick and now
11:27
all of a sudden i'm sweating
11:30
i think it's just uh being back and
11:32
knowing that we have a ton of stuff to
11:34
do before we head out of here no no no
11:36
that's right
11:37
compass
11:38
is so happy to be back home back in his
11:41
turf
11:42
isn't that right tough guy
11:45
he's not moving for the rest of the
11:47
night i can assure you that
12:01
we landed
12:17
so we're just waiting
12:20
getting compass checked in takes a lot
12:22
longer than getting us checked in huh
12:25
so far
12:26
kind of smooth though
12:28
kind of an interesting process
12:32
i am shocked how well he is behaving
12:36
he always behaves
12:39
i think he's just happy to be back
12:41
it's like he can sense that we're going
12:43
back on basic
12:46
hi baby
12:48
happy to be home
12:49
oh my god emma
13:02
boom boom boom
13:06
it had been over two years since we saw
13:08
my relatives that live in texas so i was
13:10
super excited especially to meet my
13:12
littlest cousin for the first time
13:16
we spent an entire week mostly hanging
13:17
out eating amazing food and just
13:19
enjoying life on land
13:22
food is a big part of our culture so we
13:24
did our best to participate in the daily
13:26
feasts
13:27
[Music]
13:28
this trip was extra special because my
13:30
parents are now also god parents and
13:32
they were honored to be present for the
13:34
baptism
13:36
and besides it gave us another excuse to
13:39
eat
13:40
the week flew by too fast but i really
13:42
had fun bonding with my cousins spending
13:44
time with my grandparents and aunts and
13:46
uncles
13:47
and well the food did i mention there
13:50
was so much food
13:53
oh and i saw my first texas possum
13:55
[Music]
13:56
while we were in the states we had a lot
13:58
of things to get done we had to renew
14:00
our visas get our booster shots
14:02
get new cell phones because my mom's
14:04
finally died
14:05
i got some new clothes because i grew
14:07
most of my old ones and most importantly
14:09
get lots of new boat parts and spares
14:11
for basic
14:18
we are now just uh entering the airport
14:23
and uh
14:25
waiting through the traffic
14:27
we drop off looks busy here and this is
14:30
a weekday so this is uh nothing compared
14:33
to a weekend they said we're just hoping
14:35
that compass stays nice and calm
14:38
uh for uh for the flight he does not
14:40
like being in his kennel when we are all
14:42
out here
14:44
compass what do you think
14:47
you ready to go back to the states
14:58
okay we are officially
15:02
on u.s land
15:03
for the first time in a while feels good
15:06
it was a quick flight
15:08
compass did so good
15:10
it was his first one and uh even though
15:13
he was stuck underneath the seat he uh
15:16
behaved
15:17
so we just have to get through customs
15:20
and then get picked up but i am so
15:22
excited it just feels
15:24
weird that we're back in the u.s but
15:27
it'll be a good trip and we're looking
15:29
forward to it
15:36
this is it
15:38
i think we're ready are you ready
15:43
we went through our checklist
15:45
extensive checklist this is the first
15:47
time we were leaving the boat in
15:49
geez
15:51
oh
15:51
it's been a long time i can't even
15:53
remember the last time this is the first
15:54

15:56
10 days
15:57
okay we got everything we need we're
15:59
bringing loads back to uh
