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]
you
