[@Mike7O7O]

As others have said, you did really well coming alongside without your engine. I especially liked Becka's continuous positive feedback to Zack while you were manoeuvring. You appear to work very well with each other in stressful situations and that ought to give you confidence that you'll be able to cope with whatever gets thrown at you. It also sounds like you got a fantastic deal on your boat. On the cost of materials etc. You might like to source replacement parts and screws etc. ahead of time so you have time to find the best deals. Which you possibly won't have the opportunity to, when you're away from the UK. This won't take up much room in the boat and if you can take the financial hit now, will save you a lot. I'm about a year away from slipping the lines, so we may bump into each other in an anchorage. I wish you lots of laughs as you travel and I hope that everything you share, helps you build a fabulous relationship :)

[@petrisuominen5237]

I would have probably declared emergency in your situation. At least a PAN PAN. Then you get all the help you need ;-)

[@RedwonMactamhais]

You two have an awesome outlook, and seem to find the positive in most situations so look at this as a good real world learning experience. You learned you can actually safely sail into a dock, even when slightly rushed and panicked. You will be that much more confident sailing into a marina or into and off of Anchor. I try to keep my engine on my small sailboat at idle as an emergency backup, and sail into and out of my anchorage or mooring as often as weather permits to practice. 40+ years of fixing all my own petrol and electric powered devices has also taught me Solenoids and Points of all shapes and sized are finicky and tend to fail at the most inopportune times. Especially in humid and salt spray air rich environments. You guys should make a jumper or at the very least keep an old plastic or rubber handled screwdriver made of a conductive metal like steel or stainless and keep it in the engine compartment. I keep a unit with a bunch of zip open and closed pouches in it so I can keep spare parts and emergency tools in attached on the inside panel of my engine compartment on my boat. That way you can easily jump the starter solenoid leads in an emergency to try and get the starter to engage.

[@TeuluTribe]

Thanks so much. We do try to remain optimistic, it can sometimes be hard- we are only human after all, but always realise that the times we look on the brightside, there seems to be less stress and things get done better! Sailing onto anchor/ a mooring buoy is definitely something we would love to practice in the future- i bet you are a pro at it now! Good idea about the emergency tools- thanks so much!

[@JNLR74]

Wow that's an amazing price for your boat ! Well done guys.

[@doylemccoy8911]

Concerning your table. Pull off your edge trim, sand starting at a 220 grit going up to a 3000-4000 grit. Then use a car buffer and buff to polish then replace your trim. Good as new. Easy Peasy. Be sure to wip off dust between each grit.

[@AbNomal621]

I would think you would have a volt meter that can help diagnose some of the engine issues. The catch is to know your resting voltage, normal cranking voltage, and charging voltage. In short resting voltage is likely between 12 and 14 volts depending on particular battery system. I would expect you would see a drop while cranking. Often this is 9 to 10volts. And a typical alternator voltage is 13.5 to 14 volts. If the voltage doesn’t drop, then you have either a connection issue or solenoid failure. If the battery is weak often it will click or drop near 0. All the same, I know it is a very steep learning curve.

[@pauljolly9320]

This contrarian view is not going to be popular regarding “nosey” people asking about price.... I am sure they monetize this channel. Therefore, they are “selling “ a dream that so many of us have. We also have so many questions and would like to plan accordingly. And since the cost of the boat is a large portion of the dream. So they are benefitting monetarily by drawing us in like moths to the light. THAT SAID... I am **SO** very proud of these two youngsters. They are living a dream so many of us have.

[@GypzyJack]

Well done with your sailing in to a berth, guys. Re the engine "shut off" not working, that's an older boat with what I assume to be an equally "older" engine so its very likely that it has a mechanical engine stop which effectively just stops the diesel fuel flow, and which is activated by either turning the key to the off position or by pressing a stop button and which means that the mechanical shut off lever is controlled by a solenoid. (A purely mechanical shut off would entail a wire attached to the fuel shut off lever and accessed from the helm, similarly to how a 'choke' worked in older cars. Afterall, it is just an old tractor engine!) So, to locate the solenoid adjacent to the engine, when you turn the key to the 'on' position it will make a noise as it moves the lever to open the fuel supply. You already know that it works as you successfully fired up the engine once the loose cable was discovered. If you don't hear a noise when you turn the key to the 'Off' position, and the fuel lever does not move, then you know that you have an electrical problem at the solenoid or the ignition switch. First thing to do is check your fuses as the loose battery connection might have caused a blown fuse, particularly during the 'key-turning ritual' that would have happened as you tried to react to your proximity to the race starting line and the convergence of sail boats, though as the lever moved to open the fuel supply it is half-way working so unlikely to be a fuse. Check it anyway as you are in the process of elimination and you are not likely entirely savvy with the engine electronics. Experienced 'sparkies' usually go straight to the problem, whereas us novices have to go through the process. C'est la vie! If the fuses are OK, then its time to get the multimeter out and check the earth wires for both the ignition and the solenoid though if the key starts the engine it should stop it too, unless the live wire to the stop position is compromised. Wherever the fault, it is likely only a minor one of a loose wire and finding it is a process of elimination along the engine stop circuit. It's often a bit like "holding your mouth right" have one of you wiggle the wire whilst the other turns the key to the off position is one way to test for a loose connection. I had a similar 'head scratcher' in my L/R Defender until I started the process of elimination. Good luck, gang!

[@TeuluTribe]

Hi Jack, wow, thanks so much for your comment, thats so helpful! The engine has only done about 400 hours and it about 5 years old, but maybe it is in the way it functions still. We do have a stop button so i reckon it is like the one you are talking about! It ended up being the starter cable to the solenoid being loose which also stopped the stop button from working (i guess it creates somewhat of a full circuit but can't if there is an issue with one bit of it). Have actually noted down everything you said there just 'in case' something like that were to happen again. Thanks again!

[@GypzyJack]

@@TeuluTribe Hey, guys...glad to hear that you got it sorted. I forgot to mention that you can pull the lever across yourself if you need to stop the engine and the switch fails again. You just need to identify it yourself beforehand, wih one of you sitting beside the engine to watch the lever work whilst the other operates the switch. Cheers!

Europe makes it very difficult to accumulate capital, especially for the middle class.

They keep middle class people down, to prevent people like you to fulfill your dreams. You are amazing to have accomplished liberating yourself from that oppression to keep you living a boring, standard, oppressed, government abused life.

Bonaire is no place for a cruising boat. it is set up for the dive industry. there is no anchoring in Bonaire. you must use a mooring ball, which are not that numerous. further, the dive operators have them staked out and therefore make it hard to find an open one. the one marina is small, and adjacent to a highway which often has traffic in the dirt shoulder which in turn blows into the marina. I had to wash down my boat two or three times a week to keep it presentable . there is a decent marine store and several good restaurants. but because it's a major tourist destination the prices are high. it is not uncommon to have two cruise ships in port a day; sometimes three. I've been to almost all the islands in the Caribbean and put Bonaire at or near the bottom of the list of places I would revisit.

Pets on boats are a bit of a worry.

That was the last Straw for me and Cats tbh. Foreign places plus pets, can be a Downervtoo. plus a lot of dogs seem to barely tolerate boats. My Vizsla was my only dog that truly loved it on a boat, but he basically loved everywhere there were people. He'd get a wrist in his mouth and give a guided tour around the Cockpit pointing to things and chatting away, though couldn't break him from peeing on the Mast - a bit worrying re rusting aluminium.

[@Mike-uc1eu]

Good on you for buying the boat you could afford, and not succumb to "renting money". There are many cost advantages to not exceeding 12 metres too! In the US Insurance companies dictate where the vessel must be for coverage due to seasonal weather conditions. Finance companies require insurance of their collateral. I have seen many sailors depart on passages in poor conditions, just to be above a prescribed line by a prescribed date. I am always astounded by complete strangers asking what I paid for my boat ('84 Pearson 385). Besides it not being anyone's business, with older boats condition and equipment dictates price. I usually respond "the current average value for a vessel like this is between $X and $XXXX". Your boat can take you anywhere a larger boat can, for far less cost, you get the same view. I look forward to seeing you in Bonaire one day!

Very easy an safe. Tha cable looks similar to an accelerator cable. The alarm will sound as there's no oil pressure so simply turn key off. Anything with the word MARINE on it, in it around it means $$$ so I get 316 stainless steel stuff or anything really from normal hardware or what we call Bunnings 🤣 Good answer about the cat Becks, u need to just settle first and become one with the boat and the Ocean. Love u both 🇦🇺🌈🌞🌟

Will look for that, thanks so much! Our hardware shops don't have the right stainless steel here, really annoying!! 🤣

You were very sensible not to take a loan. I know interest rates are low but it still needs to be paid. A decision never to take a load and to wait until you have saved enough to pay cash pays off. Everything we own is paid for including the car, and the house was bought for cash, much to our surprise when we added up the money we had in various accounts.

[@TeuluTribe]

We are really, really happy with our decision 😊 Its better to wait and not be in debt!

17:15 Away with the Ferries? Hm, that sounds quite big :-)

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha really big!! 😆

[@randywelsh4163]

Always enjoyable, but don’t let anyone bully you, you have just as much right as they have but be courteous until you don’t need to be courteous. Anyway cheers!

[@TeuluTribe]

I think as our confidence grows, we will learn to be not so courteous at times! 🤣

[@jankeesvangaalen533]

You want to go to Paraty!!

Good Nz morning guys. Finally caught up to the present. There is a cautionary quote that I heard many years ago, and you may have heard it before,....."a boat is a hole in the ocean, into which you pour money." Preventative maintenance is a great habit to get into, which can help reduce the "money pouring" by a certain amount. Simple things like going to your engine room, and tighten up your hose clamps. Yes, they will need it. Anything to do with the sails, masts, winches etc. I love your enthusiasm 😀 and excitement. I just love your channel. I'm glad I subbed to it. Now my mission, is that the right word, is to recommend to a couple of mates, who are still sailing, to check out your channel. Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to upload. From down under, all the best.

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha yup, that quote definitely resonates with Teulu 🤣 Good idea about the hose clamps- we are trying to go through every bit of the boat to see what needs maintaining to prevent future damage, it sure is a long process!! Glad you are enjoying the channel, thanks for the lovely comment!

Well done, tip would be to carry jump leads, jump straight to starter motor and hot wire the solenoid. That way you bypass the battery leads and switches, any of which might have failed. Leave the key in on position.

[@TeuluTribe]

We have actually just bought some for that exact reason- thanks so much!

[@bravofighter]

At 7:000 wow! Well done, both of you!!!

[@mellamodiego8458]

9:30 why didnt you guys just disconnect the battery terminals to shut down the engine?

[@TeuluTribe]

Once the engine is running, it doesn’t use the batteries. It uses fuel and air. The batteries are just used to start the engine

[@tomstanko2748]

Oh, and by the way, you’re so cool… Why I keep watching 😀

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha thanks Tom.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice work docking under sail 👍These are the things that make you real sailors

[@babypigmotor]

Zack ! Hold your ground on the cat being a no deal. The last thing you two want is a responsibility outside of having fun and the boat 👍🏼🔱💯

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha he doesn't need to- I (Becka) know its really not right at the moment! Maybe in the far future!

[@factanonverba6169]

Who dis den? Oh, hello.

[@ergolfking]

Thanks

[@bowdezaufa2609]

Interesting to hear you guys talk about sailing to warmer places since you live in a cooler climate. I live in the tropics and dream of sailing to cooler places 😂

[@TeuluTribe]

Haha we can't wait to sail somewhere a little less rainy 🤣
