ENGINE FAILURE ⚠️ Sailing Into A Reef

Days 3 through 5 sailing the Caribbean brought us more trauma every day, nearly 24/7. While sailing into Hogsty Reef, our engine failed us yet again. Oil continued to gush. Everything that mattered crashed in the most critical moments.
If we weren't living it, we wouldn't believe it either.

⚠ Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJDEcn-laduimJY

[@TravelingWithTheDon-xz8xb]

As a 14 year veteran cruiser, these guys are all clueless. 😂😅

[@LyfeUntethered]

As a 5 week veteran cruiser, I can confirm that I was 200% clueless.

[@oursimplelife3119]

With Brad onboard you are in safe hands.

[@TravelingWithTheDon-xz8xb]

You made night time entrances. No not safe, you are always safer to remain at sea until you can make a visual entrance. Boats are sunk normally by rocks not waves.

[@rickcarlsonofficial]

You where clueless when you started….we all start somewhere. Some people even grow as a person.

[@TravelingWithTheDon-xz8xb]

@@rickcarlsonofficial actually I wasn't and this is supposed to be a professional delivery. The people documenting this are novice along for the experience but the captain?

[@PyeGuySailing]

Things i did to my sailboat to make it less likely to fail in critical moments, composting toilet, removed most underwater through hulls, went full electric propulsion. I dont regret it. Loving the channel so far

[@specialydobon]

Hoses are popping off the engine because they’re held on with screw clamps. Constant tension spring clamps or crimp clamps are the way to go for crucial cooling applications.

[@mvintrigue-trawlerdiy1101]

Spring clamps are not allowed. Crimp clamps not a good idea because hoses need to be removed to service things.

[@specialydobon]

@@mvintrigue-trawlerdiy1101 didn’t know that about spring clamps in relation to marine engines, very good information to know. I haven’t worked on many boat engines (at least not full size engines that are comparable to automotive engines, I’ve mainly worked on outboard motors) and made my comment based on experience with high performance automotive engines where I’d get torn a new asshole if I used off the shelf Home Depot/AutoZone cheap Chinese screw style clamps on any of the cooling systems. I don’t even use them on my indoor RDWC systems because I’ve had them blow off with barely any pressure. If I had my way everything would be ridiculously large overspec’d quick disconnects for ease of service but as most of us have learned we can’t live in fantasy land and I don’t really see that ever being the norm 🤪 hope the crew is doing well, subscribed and looking forward to updates!

[@nathanjones7466]

Glad you're alive, also glad I wasn't there :)

[@LyfeUntethered]

Hahah. 😘

[@TurnOffYourTV]

😧. I wanna comment but I don't think it's even necessary. Incredible. New sub.

[@LyfeUntethered]

Are you kidding? Your comments are my oxygen! Thanks TV!

[@Markpatrickrich]

Happy you guys are safe but I wonder why you would take a boat like that on a trip boats are like a RV something always needs some work. I guess it and adventure. Sending positive energy safe travels 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼

[@jaimeresendiz12]

So good!!!

[@LyfeUntethered]

Thanks man!

[@TooRandomForYou]

What’s crazier then being crammed in that boat and everything not working and having to analyze what to do when nature calls… is the video editing 😅😂

[@LyfeUntethered]

Is it bad?

[@TooRandomForYou]

@@LyfeUntethered it was great 👍 I enjoyed the entire video

[@LyfeUntethered]

@@TooRandomForYou oh whew! Thanks! ❤

[@deerfootnz]

And going into coral strewn places at night: the older I get the less likely I am to do that. What is wrong with waiting until dawn?

[@LyfeUntethered]

No where to wait. Besides choppy seas tacking back and forth.

[@deerfootnz]

@@LyfeUntethered and what's wrong with that? It's basic seamanship to stay out at sea until dawn. It's just a few hours. Uncomfortable is not dangerous. Very poor decision making. What you did was dangerous and foolhardy. I hope you learn from it and refrain from doing it again.

[@deerfootnz]

Seems like a maintenance and upkeep defecit to me.

[@LyfeUntethered]

It was stuck in that Marina for 10 months so it was rough for the owner to oversee what the marina was doing. The marina did not take good care of it while it was there.

[@deerfootnz]

@@LyfeUntethered they didn't go to sea in it. It was surely in your interest to check basics. I have spent my life delivering yachts. Often I fly in and have only a few days to prepare before going to sea. I have never had so much unserviceable stuff as you. Poor decision. Also entering at night in a strange place in coral: poor decision. Maybe it's time to reflect on what you have done and what is the best way to proceed. If you keep on going the way you have, then it's only a matter of time before something unfortunate happens.

[@joedirt7553]

I blame the boatyard for the motor. If they were paid to service the motor. However, I have to agree with deerfootnz, for going to sea on a yacht that is not up for transit and entering an anchorage at night with coral and reefs. That’s how you sink your yacht. Once you get to a marine store pick up 4 electric bilge pumps and 2 manual. You will have a spare for each one. Get the yacht on the hard and change those through holes changed with quality values. So your boat won’t sink on its own. Hope you guys won’t go down with the yacht.

[@LyfeUntethered]

@@joedirt7553 Hey Joe! When we got to the Marina in the DR, the boat was supposed to be fixed and ready to sail. It was not. So between us we spent a week repairing the boat to help out the owner and get it out of there. We wrenched and tested all day every day. The captain is an adept mechanic and has driven everything from boats in the Bering Sea during crab season to a cruise ship. We got the boat to what we thought was seaworthy, minus the amenities. We had a spare electric bilge, tho other parts availability was minimal. At sea, other stuff, unforseen, started to go south. We got pretty far, but after about 2 weeks, we all bailed for safety reasons as more and more broke down. The captain was familiar with the anchorage, as he's done this trip a few times. In spite of how traumatic this was, I wanna go back and get the boat the rest of the way to Florida. I even want my own boat now. Learned a ton. This was my first trip like this ever. Appreciate the feedback Joe!

[@jonstivers]

Not trauma, but drama!🤣

[@LyfeUntethered]

Cameras weren’t rolling during worst parts. Believe me. It was trauma. I mean, drama too! 🎭

[@dboboc]

It as so scary, yet they were able to record it the whole time.

[@LyfeUntethered]

@@dboboc Lol. Not even close. I was too busy pulling sails up and down and following captains orders during the worst parts, which would have been the best video.

[@Freetheworldnow]

Please guys do not take me as crew...! I can't swim! So basically your boat passed a multy fail inspection by the D.R. Navy??? I need my valium quick....

[@LyfeUntethered]

😂

[@deanweber4370]

WOW NO ENGINE SKILLS AT ALL , CANT MOVE THE LINKAGE, LMAO

[@LyfeUntethered]

Electronic throttle. No linkage. We wish.

[@z.pberic3061]

😮 cant wait to see what happens 😅

[@LyfeUntethered]

Me either!

[@BadlyEquivalent]

I wonder what type of sail boat that is

[@LyfeUntethered]

Vagabond 47'

[@NTM2009]

No captain no captian jeopardized your lives. Captian should never leave port without safe boat

[@joedirt7553]

That boatyard in the DR, are criminals.

[@TravelingWithTheDon-xz8xb]

This should of all been checked by the delivery Captain before launching the boat. His responsibility in full.

[@LyfeUntethered]

He spent a week fixing, repairing and testing. Even polished the inside of the fuel tanks. When we left all seemed to be functioning that mattered. But at sea, the bad repairs by the boatyard became readily apparent. One day at a time.

[@christaylor3549]

😂 why are you guys using toilet paper 🧻 on a boat

[@LyfeUntethered]

What are we supposed to use? 😂

[@ctnvisual5281]

But you shouldn't be flushing it. Will always clog a marine toilet

[@michaelschneider6106]

Very little boat knowledge and less common sense.

[@LyfeUntethered]

dude. i had ZERO boat knowledge. More now. I was just unpaid crew.

[@YTsux100pct._of-the-time.]

I guess money doesn't buy you brains, but I suppose we've all jumped into something we weren't prepared for and had it turn into a disaster. I've been on some camping trips that have been miserable due to unforseen events or lack of preparation. But... there's levels, y'know? The ocean will kill you in seconds. And no one will ever know what happened to you

[@christopherneil988]

I admire your calmness under pressure at sea my friends. Stay safe on your travels. New Sub!

[@Baddecisionaquatics]

Love what u all are doing. Hope u guys can stay safe

[@derekbennett5896]

Talk about worst case scenarios, love your optimism with this situation

[@LyfeUntethered]

Thanks Derek!

[@ramabamaboomboom]

I tried to like it. Hopefully you are just faking your lack of preparedness. Otherwise your actions are criminal. Some inspired seaman will risk their lives to save you. Boy will that person be disappointed.

[@LyfeUntethered]

I was just unpaid crew with no sailing experience.

[@SpykersB]

R we there yet? 🍻

[@LyfeUntethered]

Not yet! I mean, not on KZbin. 😆
