previously on sailing and fun

we had to haul out the mac due to some

motor issues

we're going to find out together if this

this change worked

it's not looking good

after we tried some simple fixes the

captain

found it was the power pack replaced it

afraid to turn it off and we got back on

the water

the last thing that it could be

seems to have worked

we are back on track made the simple

task

of raising the main difficult but once

we finally got it up

we had a smooth day of sailing

[Music]

went in search of a sandbar so we could

chill and have some fun

what you got there it is you got it

[Music]

spent time hanging out with the pups

[Music]

and for no other reason than to have fun

did some dancing

[Music]

with quite a few boats narrowing our

exit the captain decided to manually

turn the boat around today

meanwhile i just did some on land

snorkeling

right around the boat and i got to see

parrots and some huge tarpon

[Music]

cruising the bayside in search of a

bridge that we can duck under there are

a few that we can do so with the masked

up

but we found one this morning and we're

headed over

to alligator reef

we decided once again to put the motor

to good use

and try to get out to the reef super

early

which we did unfortunately there was

nobody there

we were able to explore just the two of

us around the lighthouse

and the water was calm which is not

always

a given in this area the reef is not

very tall so it doesn't break down the

waves that much

but once again we were lucky and super

[Music]

excited

do

[Music]

the area is very popular so we knew it

wouldn't be long

until lots of boats starting to show up

[Music]

where are we again alligator

lighthouse reef or lighthouse or reef

lighthouse

alligator reef lighthouse you got it

we're here to study the i think it's

called plume

of jellyfish technically they're a plant

right

form plankton moon jellyfish technically

they're a um

plant is that what you just said yeah no

plankton they're an animal but without a

brain

kind of like you right now

cut in the captain's defense

jellyfish are housed under the group

plankton

is zoyoplankton not phytoplankton like

most of us are familiar with which are

in fact plants

with the dye flag in place it's time to

get in and i climbed

this platform that's close to the

lighthouse previously it did have a

ladder

it had fallen off but i was still

determined to climb up here because it

was a lot of fun

last time there were about 10 people up

here this time

it was just me and it's really fun to

jump off of but i will say that there's

a sign on the lighthouse itself i

couldn't read it from afar but i'm sure

it's restricting you from climbing up

there

even though when we were here previously

we saw some like pre-teenage boys climb

all the way to the top

so make sure you find out the rules

before you do it yourself

[Music]

wow

[Music]

[Music]

here's a little warning about the

lighthouse though be very careful there

is fire coral and other barnacles that

can hurt you

i got overzealous and swam after a

couple of nurse sharks

and didn't pay attention extended my arm

too far

and i hit it with my hand and my

fingers and it was truly terrible pain

lasted quite a while and for weeks after

my fingers

were swollen up

[Music]

in some places in the keys the current

is crazy so it's not a bad idea to wear

your life vest but the captain has

gotten some flack about

it people saying you're snorkeling with

your life vest on

but he actually does it for me a lot of

times i get tired and i grab onto him

and float

and they also make awesome chairs just

sit in him for hours in the water

and then his is big enough for me to use

as a raft

[Music]

so

[Music]

smile big

show me teeth

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

well mac maintenance is on the agenda we

are focused on the catamaran most of the

time when we're doing work related

things and we just want to use a

mcgregor for fun but she needs a lot of

help right now

what are you fixing to do scrape it down

screw it down first because we do have

some big flecks that are starting to

come off

and then i'm going to use this little

skill saw here which

you think isn't heavy but this one's got

to be like well it's light for a skill

saw

yeah i guess i don't know where my

little mouse is i had a little mouse

that was

not as heavy as this this is kind of i

don't know

i feel tired already but um

i'm gonna be standing

[Music]

pump it up can't even tell who you are

raise your hand if you're admiralty

today i am sanding down the entire boat

and tomorrow hopefully i will be

painting here i've got the rub rail um

kind of looks like a mess right now but

it was separating a little from the boat

not coming off completely but we

couldn't connect it

back tighten it back all the way so what

i did was i

actually used a ton of caulk and sealed

it in here

and then i painted over the top of it

and this has been like

two or three years ago um that i did

that

and the boat is always in the element so

it really has held up

it's just starting to break down now

and although the caulking is fine it's

just the the top of the paint so i'm

going around right now and just scraping

down a bit

with a scraper and then i will go back

and

start the sanding the sander is

it's small but it's still kind of heavy

so it's better if i just get off the

bigger flakes with this uh

sponge and a little scraper here before

i have to run around with the big sander

my original plan was just to sand down

the areas that needed touch-up

we used oil-based paint and like i said

it's lasted for quite a while

but as i went around the boat i decided

there was more and more that needed to

be done

so i just continued sanding the entire

boat

except for the places under the rub rail

where the captain was going to

use acetone and then wax down

i used 120 grit on some places but most

of the time i was using 220.

so i am trying to fix the sander here

what am i doing the captain is awesome

as as he is sometimes he's kind of a

he gets overly manly and just rips

things apart instead of pushing a little

button here he just rip the whole

the whole front of the kind of pad off

and

now we can't get it to stay on

so worked for the first part of the

sanding

but it's not staying so i'm going to

do some jerry-rigging myself we got

about 10 more minutes out of this

before it gave up the ghost but luckily

we had other attachments so we were able

to

connect them and keep working

we removed the hatch for easier sanding

and painting

but the captain did not want to remove

the rudder so i just sanded them

and painted them in place

i went around and hand sanded the

tighter areas

and then i painted and usually i would

say prep

is the most important part you want your

top coat your finish to come out

as well as it can so we decided to use a

primer this time

i would say forego that step the fumes

were awful

it was very thick it dried too quickly

and the

finished result was not as good as when

i just used an oil-based paint

on the original finish of the fiberglass

your circumstances may be different but

for us in this application

applying two coats of the oil-based

paint would have been much better than

applying this hard to work with primer
