Sailing with torn sails and no engine. Ep 7

[@Captain_MarvinFlores]

that was an epic sail, man! Glad I could help you get started. Can’t wait to see the full restoration of ALBATROSS ⛵️

@@Captain_MarvinFlores thank you my brother!

This reminds me of a story I loved about a desert community in the australian outback who apparently had a car with no engine.. They would push it out on the highway, get a tow into town ..hang out for a while .. then push it back on the highway the other way and get a tow back home. 😁 Albatross is already looking great... She is a gorgeous boat. Thanks for the vids I'm enjoying them a lot.

I wonder if those aussies could get away with getting a cheap triple A membership and abusing it like I have with boat US 😂

@@JACKintheBIRD Wellllll.... technically your previous engine "did have a mechanical failure" (and "joined the choir invisibule" to keep the theme going).

I think I remember that being on a show...either Black As or the Bush Mechanics.

@@glenndavis479 Nice! I heard it driving on the Nullarbor in the 90's.. Hope it's true.

This brings back some good memories of engineless sailing haha

[@JACKintheBIRD]

@@ryancocks7178 we’ve been through a lot! Haha

Great video. Can’t wait to see the engine installation and see the yard you’re working and living at. Cheers mate

[@JACKintheBIRD]

Thank you!

This was a good day. Not only did I find your posting this evening but into deep kept me going this morning. I had caught video last time and thought that there was a little bit of Monty Python Influence, make's your video more entertaining. Watching the Albatross under sail makes you appreciate the ancient Mariners courage who set off from Spain across the Atlantic and they thought the Earth was flat and they could fall off the edge of the ocean.

@@donblythe3766 I love me some Monty Python, my brother and I were huge on those movies growing up. When I was halfway through the bridge tender finally responded to say “can you speed it up a little? You’re Taking forever”. I wanted to respond to him in a Monty python way but wasn’t brave enough. Maybe next time… Thanks for watching our videos Don!
