Can a Husband/Wife Team Handle a 65 Foot Yacht? Without Killing Each Other?

[@paulcleary911]

No fuss, no shouting, 5 out of 5. Good job!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks!

[@lorid548]

You guys made it look easy and from a First Mate, it was fun to watch - - it wasn't boring.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed it.

[@SkylerinAmarillo]

That was fun. Thank you. I like the detail of how she put the headset on the deck for you to grab later.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

She’s always thinking ahead.

[@royphelps6377]

Great team work. Lyn, unlike many, is really checked out on line handling. And of course, Ed is always composed as there is usually something unexpected. Years ago my wife and I had excitable experiences dealing with a sail boat...but we're still happy. Thanks for sharing! You've got to love it, as boating is work!

[@ericmitchell5350]

Great Educational Video! When it comes to certain select key words like you’re “CLEAR”, it’s a good practice to never say that word till you you are actually clear (Lyn said “hold on, you’re not CLEAR” -better might be to simply say “hold on” or “Stand by”…. …or even better, Lyn can use a special compound key phase like “FREE & CLEAR” or a special code phase like Lyn yelling “ED YOURE AN AMAZING HUNKA-MAN!” to indicate he’s free to thrust forward away from the T-head

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yes, that was unusual for Lyn to use the word before I was actually clear. The real problem we have is Cleo keeps saying clear in Lyn's voice!

[@heathwellsNZ]

In actuality, this has been a really interesting wee bit of content demonstrating cooperative boat handling. I'd love to see others of a similar length showing some other practical boat relating activities!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@castlerc]

Just bought a 36’ trawler, thinking of naming it Floaty potato. Will be doing some upgrades over the winter, would be awesome to see you guys out there and buy you a drink or two 😊. You have been one of my favorite inspirations in getting out on the water. Many thanks!!!

[@jimoliverie2760]

Love this video. I enjoy seeing how people handle situations around the dock working as a team. Personally I always use the dock cleats as leverage for pulling the boat in it seems to take the stress off the lower back.

[@thetraveler264]

Always love how we can learn off of your experience. Thanks for the video

[@kathyline11]

Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Yep!

[@Waypointcruising]

One of your best! Thank you.

[@jmsask]

Hard working deckhand you have 🍻

[@tryingnottosink9107]

You got that right!

[@edwardranno7119]

I can’t believe you need to put no smoking signs up on a yacht

[@tryingnottosink9107]

They were on the boat when we bought it.

[@jetlag4754]

That is the Blue Heron Bridge. It has some of the best diving in America under it.

[@martinbowers852]

looks like Lyn works her ass off, enjoyed the vid thanks

[@alg54]

3:00 Look at that new floor!!

[@festerofest4374]

Love that tigerwood flooring! Gets that deep orangy-redish color very quickly, and will get a bit deeper yet with more time.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We love it.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It got redder surprisingly fast. We moved a couple planters and there was a visible circle on the floor!

[@robertmdaniels]

Very educational! You two work well together!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks!

[@PaulR.SeymerSr]

You have a good wife😀. There's no way my wife would do all that. That's way I'm buying a boat I can handle by my self.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I got lucky. She enjoys boating more than I do!

[@bettermost]

Come on now I want to see fighting and motors smoking and fittings leaking 😂😂😂

[@williamwhaley7842]

Great video showing how you two work together! But I must say this! I have small center console boat for fishing! The few times my wife has been on the boat has not worked out! I'll just go ahead and say it! My wife knows everything about everything and you cannot tell her otherwise! I don't even have enough sense to get a bottle of water out of the fridge! So I stay away from anything that needs her help!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

When it comes to doing the lines, Lyn is in charge. I can over-ride her if I think it is needed but for the most part, I just trust her to get the job done.

[@ChrisFeret]

You guys do it well... I tell people situational awareness .. current/tides and wind... we are looking at a bigger boat and marriage savers are on the must have list ;). Thanks!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks! We agree, the marriage savers really made things a lot less stressful.

[@ericspurling8175]

All that work reminds me why I drive!! Lynn has it down.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

She does!

[@torpedo2030]

I appreciate you providing us with this insightful video. Great teamwork! 👏

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@cbskip546]

Love this aspect, great video! Hope someday to cross paths.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks! We were hoping people would like it.

[@captainfranknoneofyourbusi8564]

Can you tell us what you use for “marriage savers” we have tried several set ups Not real happy with what we have. Yours look to work well and is self contained? No wire in the way. Captain Frank

[@justinrychak9816]

So cool thanks for sharing. Question: in the video you said your 58 ft boat but your title says 65 foot. What is the size of your boat? Thanks!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is a 58 Hatteras but when you ad the pulpit and the swim platform it is 65 foot.

[@johnlove4183]

Nice clip, and smooth departure. Lots of up and down steps isn't it.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. It definitely is!

[@datamack]

What’s with the new “drama” thumbnails? Can you please go back to just posting interesting boating content?

[@dadejazzba402]

Who has the drama?...lol

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Can't we do both? 😎

[@dadejazzba402]

Good work Lynn

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks!

[@goodson77784]

love you two

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Cheers!

[@johntyler3645]

Thanks good insight

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We are glad you found it helpful.

[@festerofest4374]

Lyn is a master at handling all those lines! Roger-Out!!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Roger that!

[@CaptRD]

LOL, slow paced if your name isn't Lyn. Thanks, I enjoyed this video.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

LOL!
