hey guys

captain rand and t here

getting ready for a new and exciting

season on our mcgregor 26x

as we get into the swing of things and

stick to our traditional bowel riding

where we can see some of the beautiful

water

we'll be fitting in some great sailing

and of course taking a dive down to

check out the amazing reef

we'll also battle some waves at the

atlantic

and doing as much beachcombing

and relaxing as possible

[Music]

check out our link below where we

feature extended content with uncensored

footage

and our patreon page thanks to all our

subscribers and followers

we're having an engine issue

well as they say if it can happen it

will happen

and just the night before we were

planning to leave on a trip to the

florida keys

we started having motor issues

we're about 20 slips down from the ramp

so we were trying to pull ourselves from

pylon to pylon and using our trolling

motor

to get us to where we could haul out

and figure out if it was going to be an

expensive fix

and if we were going to have to delay

our trip for a while

our area can really act like a wind

tunnel and we get a lot of wind and

waves as

you've seen in some of our previous

videos but we were really lucky this

morning

everything was calm and smooth and we

didn't have the wind to battle with

slow on your forward so we can blow over

a little

okay

ironically the morning prior to this we

were working on the cat

and the captain met a guy who had just

bought a mcgregor

just the day before but he didn't know

anything about how to

put the mast up or not much about the

boat at all so

the captain spent about two hours

helping the guy learn

about his boat so in turn the next

morning he helped us

we didn't ask him if he mind being on

camera so we thought it was a better

idea just to

fuzz him out in case he didn't want that

okay we're at the boat ramp i connected

the positive back to the battery

and we're gonna find out uh together if

this this change worked um

don't know what else to try after this

so

we'll be taking it to the shop if uh if

this doesn't work

we got a little spark usually doesn't uh

doesn't do that so we'll see if um

starts now got a full throttle

it's not looking good prime it some more

yeah usually starts by now

okay well i pushed the choke in it

stalled so i'm gonna try running without

the choke

[Music]

i don't believe it i'm afraid to turn it

off

so we have i have uh tried

everything and uh good news is

the last thing that it could be

seems to have worked

we are back on track

a start of another beautiful day looks

like the weather is going to be great

so the captain gets to lowering our deck

stepped hinged mast

and raising it on the other side of the

bridge so we can do some sailing

[Music]

we have the lazy jacks installed and

they're a good idea

for catching and stacking the mainsail

when you're bringing it back down

the only problem is raising it you have

to be pointed

into the wind and slip it between the

lines and the captain doesn't always

have me pointed in that direction so the

wind

the waves and the small deck space make

this a little more challenging

it's not right it's not right

come back down

back down

[Music]

can you put that thing back in just come

back in the cockpit

okay hi juice you didn't tell me

[Music]

so

[Music]

a short sale but with the sun setting

the wind increasing

the waves growing higher the captain

decides that we need to

go ahead and put the motor to good use

and head for our anchorage

[Music]

[Music]

what you got there it is you got it

[Music]

[Music]

i think out of our whole little family

here scout our english lab enjoys

sailing more than any of us

and she enjoys the water even more than

me and although she's always very

excited she

she needs a little boost a little help

to get in

[Music]

given that a life jacket

[Music]

but none of us want to be on camera all

the time

[Music]

that went pretty well

three two

[Music]

[Music]

when on the boat the captain installs

the hammock on the main sheet halyard

and it's not all that stable but it is a

lot of fun

and it's secure enough for the both of

us

[Music]
