Seeking SAFE Shelter, Outboard UPGRADE! - Onboard Lifestyle ep.176

[@tsr7198]

There ARE good people out there. What a treat to meet a couple of generous fisherman!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

There are so many good people out there! We are so lucky to meet so many of them. It's easy to forget there is more good than bad out there. Those fishermen were hilarious as well as generous.

[@tsr7198]

@@OnboardLifestyle I'm glad to hear that your experience is a good one. I'm getting caught up on your adventures as we speak. Be safe and I love your channel!

[@thecocooreo]

Boiled Sheepshead is fantastic!

[@warrendemars]

Great video, so cool to see all the ships on anchor waiting to be unloaded/loaded, too bad their just sitting there. And getting local refresh fish delivery, priceless!

[@jimk9417]

Glad you were able to find refuge from the storm. Touring those canals reminded me of Napa. It looked just like where I lived while there...complete with all the electric boats.

[@BoatingJourney]

Glad you guys got in safe! These winds are nothing to mess around with. You know, the PNW gets hammered. Safe travels!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You got that right! Thanks guys!

[@pwrplay8709]

Thanks again guys.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Any time!

[@craftbeerlover9994]

Just found your channel today!! Sorry to be late to the show!!! I used to sail with my uncle as a teenager to the Bahamas. Brings back so many great memories!! Thank you!!

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

I'm not affiliated with the channel except that I really enjoy the family and what they do, but I will say welcome aboard anyway. 🙂

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Welcome aboard!

[@Seabee_133]

You're a tease! Shows us a fish, tells us it will taste like lobster, and then cuts away and does not show us the final product. How rude! The fishermen sound like they were quite the characters. Thanks for the adventure folks. Really appreciate it. Vamonos!

[@rbnhood39]

Super nice of those guys hooking you up with the fish.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

No doubt!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

Yay! Nice catch Teal!😊That was really nice Fishermen. Very nice looking fish. Plump. I loved cruising down the street in a boat. Wow, not many people can say they park their boat out front of their house. A beautiful place. Your nieces are adorable. I know they were ecstatic being with Emma by the looks of the picture. I've just recently heard about these ships, & now seeing them, oh my gosh. I don't know who to feel sorry for, the people stuck on the boats, the families missing loved ones, the shortage of workers, or the consumers facing empty shelves. So very much enjoy you dear precious folks. Glad you got a new motor for the Dingy(?). Looking forward to your next video.

[@edanoestreich8976]

You always find the generous fisherman! I need to learn that trick. So glad your outboard frustrations are abated. Cheers Basik peeps!

[@pm1104]

What a lovely pair of guys ….giving you their fish…!

[@TraneFrancks]

It never ceases to amaze me how the fishermen you meet are always so happy to share their catches with you guys. Such a lovely vibe. As for the container ships ... Long Beach and Los Angeles ports are both chock-a-block with over 100 container ships. Welcome to the Global Supply Chain Crisis: US Edition.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

In our experience, most fishermen are friendly and generous. We are so lucky to have met so many along this coast.

[@dadthegrappler4125]

Always nice to see generous people. Just FYI: you attract friendly people because that is who YOU are. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Keep up the good work.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We appreciate that, thank you!

[@kenvangoe9358]

Teal you are adapting to the sea captain moniker very well with the sail back to the mainland before the gales came in. Not sure how long you keep the fuel in your outboard but maybe an additive like Seafoam in the fuel tank will help keep the carburetor clean for those extended journeys and it works too. We won't talk about the container ships because it gets me all riled up. Cook us something delightful Linh .be careful and stay safe love you guys

[@thomascondon724]

Love your channel all the way from little old ireland

[@jamesbillington5058]

I used to work on a container ship years ago (SeaLand Consumer). I feel for all those crews that have to sit/anchor outside of the port for weeks. Thankfully, we never had that problem.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

You kids are so BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dennismcquoid9751]

There are some big waves coming your way!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Glad you all got the outboard issue resolved. Out of country is not the place you need to find out how bad your outboard is running..

[@LivinLaVidaGypsea]

Usually out of country is where all that can go wrong…. Does 😏

[@machinesandthings7121]

Great episode!

[@osbornebay944]

Thank you for shade a joyful story in those dark days on land! Your cat is becoming a very fine home, love to see Teal and family worked so hard from a project boat to a dream home on water.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Our pleasure!

[@teresapittman8354]

Enjoyable

[@whitneylake2107]

I am glad you got a less persnickety outboard. The local fishermen are quite the colorful characters. I would love to see a pair of wind turbines to augment your array. Safe journeys !

[@tomsokoloski1540]

You will LOVE that outboard. I've had the 15HP version for 2 years, and it has been flawless!

[@miken7629]

Good choice on getting fuel injection. I got fuel injection on my Harley and I had to relearn something. With a carburetor, I would sometimes have the throttle cracked open on startup. On a fuel injection model, if the throttle is cracked open on startup, there would be a pressure spike in the fuel pressure regulator, and the fuel pressure regulator would break. DO NOT HAVE THE THROTTLE CRACKED OPEN ON STARTUP. Keep the engine throttle on idle until after the engine is running.

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida

[@fxpthl]

Oh what a familiar that was! My Dad moored his first Islander there when the Marina was brand new! Compared to the other places he had used before(Terminal Island area) Los Alamitos was like the Taj Mahal! So happy you were able to enjoy some fun times there. Your local fishermen were so nice to share their catch with you too.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

This was a gem of an area! We are so happy we stopped here. Everyone was wonderful!

[@englishmaninfrance661]

Good stuff , guys :)

[@leilamorgan8008]

Just want to say that I think your family is very cool. You guys are a wonderful couple and you made a beautiful family together

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thank you Leila!

[@banjonichols3063]

Thank you for sharing...Somehow I missed this episode.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Looks like a very well manicured Marina village.😎

[@TEAMERICA96]

Nearby Seal Beach Animal Shelter use to be the benefactor of proceeds from the Annual Wiener Nationals Wiener Dog Races held at Los Alamitos Horse Race Track. I got to race my Baron many years ago. Came in dead last bc he was the smallest one there and his feet couldn't get any traction in the soft dirt of the race track. He had to 'swim' over to the edge of the track and find me. So funny!

[@cal82252]

100 container ships at anchor? That is what damaged the pipe line and caused the oil spill. Supply chain break down and shortages are next.

[@cal82252]

@@ralphgesler5110 The USCG said it was damaged by an anchor.

[@rfdinesen4027]

So interesting to see all those cargo ships we’ve all been hearing about. I have a 9.9 Tohatsu on my dings (2012?) I’ve been happy with it. All those fish are so interesting. I’ve never had Sheeps head. Very generous of those fisherman. Just had a friend (fisherman) give us a filet of Rockfish (striper) he caught an hour before on the Chesapeake Bay. Delicious! Pays to have a slip next to a fisherman!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Very cool!

[@walterwinn2842]

Alamitos bay is my home port, if I would have known that you guys were going to be there I would have taken Teal out fishing 🎣 videos are a bit behind, maybe next time.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Maybe one day!

[@NickCal304]

Bon Appetit family !

[@ToiOraLAT]

Whoa. Another great one. NEVA stop. Greetings from NZ. Mayb we get to see how that red fish turned out. Was it really like lobsta...

You are about to enjoy some serious Mexican seafood. I love them fish tacos. Little bit jealous.

[@dwreed22]

Alamitos Bay! Home Sweet Home!! I misspent my youth sailing there - from Little Ships Fleet to Congressional Cup. Glad you had an enjoyable time there!!

[@andrewpark407]

Hey, you bought the same outboard as us. We installed after market fins to better get on plane. You'll see after the break in, your bow still plows and may not plane. Off on the Haha this Monday. See you in Mexico. Andy and Laurie Park

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Good to know! See you guys in the Sea!

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Rather sad to see the container ships waiting like that. 💯 politics. Glad you got a new motor for the tender. Good to see your safe! Fair winds Basik crew!

[@bunkosquad2000]

ABM is my home port. Love it! Hopefully, you found the Ralph's supermarket with the dock in the back. You can get your provisions and tote them in a cart right down to your dinghy.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That was awesome that they have a dinghy dock right at the store. Linh loved it.

[@ovmn]

Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@glencrandall7051]

My Dad had a 30' sail boat in Alamitos bay in the 60's. Loved sailing to Catalina. Dad belonged to the Long Beach Yacht Club and we raced with them several times a year. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

"All outboards go to heaven" except the one that give you a taste of HELL. LOL

She was a pretty good Outboard to us until she just stopped working. Hopefully, they will bring her back to her original glory and find her a new home.

[@StevenPendleton]

That's my old stomping grounds! Used to windsurf in the bay and loved this around the island race they used to have!

[@K_R_W]

Ten minutes of Teal on idle is more than I can take.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

nice safe call on leaving that island before the storm Captain and crew!! o7 to you all

[@alanw9677]

Great videos, beautiful family and boat!! Just started watching y’all last week. Binge watching 👍. Retired “inland” and missing my 21’ day sailer had to sell. I’ll live the adventures through you tube sailing 🙃. Watching you hitting the deadhead was wondering if/why you don’t have exterior lights and or spot lights for safety situations. Could even have red lights to help you see but be less visible to others when it may be better Not to be seen? Teal, hoping you have a protection plan for your family if y’all happen upon some unscrupulous characters. Their protection is your responsibility. The problem seems to be getting worse because of world economics. Sorry not trying to be a bummer! You all stay safe and healthy and enjoy life !!!

[@danieloliver20]

I love my marina, I'm glad you had a great stay at Alamitos Bay! The container ships are another story, usually there's 2-3 to day sail around, now, UGHHH!!

[@RiverWoods111]

Great video, so glad to see you just got a new outboard for the dingy. That is one thing you don't want to have problems with when in Mexico and beyond. Seems Teal is quite the fisherman through conversation. Who needs a pull when you can get a catch like that just being friendly and kind!

[@rlkk1174]

great content, thank you for all that you share.

[@BigDThatsMe]

Great video as always. Thanks

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching!

[@richmondkelly4167]

As always, I love the video. Especially the new outboard engine! I have to confess that I fast forward thru Linh's cooking ... always makes me hungry!!! 😋

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You and me both!

[@LivinLaVidaGypsea]

My (Kurt, not Linda ) next lifetime’s goal in life is to be those fishermen. Such a great lifestyle. For now, our life achievement is to get out of this Marina we’re stuck at 😂 Great video guys.!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Hopefully you guys will be able to get out of the marina soon!

[@The1stKukuDrifter]

It’s EFI. No choke, no pre-twisting the throttle. Just pull and go.

[@GPSJayDog22]

OOOOHHHH MAAAAANNNN! I wanted to see the fish get cooked 😃 Congrats on the new outboard!! Thanks 4 sharing😀

[@waynep343]

if you make it to Newport beach.. 1500 Newport ave costa mesa is Minnies yacht surplus.. always a fun store to search thru when boating..

[@donhanley1339]

I never expected to see so many container shipe of the coast of LA it must be a very busy and important port for the for the south west . I have been watching most of you posts on my computer at home in Northern Ireland you are a great work team

[@danieloliver20]

1/3 of shipped goods go through the LA/Long Beach ports, currently it's FUBAR!

[@WMCC240654]

Another great episode this week. Teal would get a piece at anybody’s door 😂( a wee Scottish saying ) piece being a sandwich 😂.

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Alamitos Bay is my home port. Used to boat out of MDR years ago, but AB is so much better. Have fun in So Cali!

[@jerrybarrett6376]

Closer to your Mexico travel, with more preparations completed. Even though you have some storms occasionally, everyone is certainly enjoying the warmer weather, away from the northwest chill. Great job on commentary Emma! Stock up heavy on supplies as prices and availability in my opinion are going to be a hardship sooner than later., just thinking ahead a bit in your behalf. Bear 🐻 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ardentenquirer8573]

Enjoyed the little note on all the large ships

[@erdscloud-buildingassetdat8178]

A bit surprised with the way you didn't secure the outboard whilst you transferred it to the dingy. How many of us have done that. bad boy!

[@trevhedges]

Thanks guys, you could show us Filleting the fish, every other channel does, plus it’s a good lesson for the younger viewers.. “This is what a real fush looks like” nothing like a McDonald’s fish burger 🍔

[@johnross2020]

Keep heading south We are in Ensenada and it already getting to cold,

[@paultabone2010]

Wonderful episode 🦋🐬🌸 I was wondering do you ever go for weeks with out doing anything to the CAT And just relax and enjoy your beautiful family 💖🦋🌈🐬🦋🍷🍷

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That's a great idea! We hope all this prep will allow us to finally just enjoy basik and each other in new surroundings.

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

Ready for another adventure. It was good to see that you got so much sail time. I'm glad to see you got your outboard dilemma taken care of. Going out of the country with a new one makes one major thing you don't have to worry about.

[@2007effie]

I had a fuel hose from the tank become clogged with gas lacquer and plug off the fuel supply after about 6years. big flakes just floating in the line.

[@brianlowe753]

Panko pan sauté would be great.

[@HopeOfJoe]

DITTO, Rumline‼️ ✨🌊🌬⛵️🏝👙🌞✨

[@Champsvisions3d]

some sort of flex marine decking wood look good on your boat. look like wood but is an anti-slip

[@Josh-of-all-Trades]

That outboard seems big for a 9.9hp... and heavy too. The dinghy looked like it was getting up on a plane without even moving!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It actually only weighs 97lbs similar to what we had. If we want to upgrade to the 20hp, it only needs a conversion kit.

[@ston3kill3r]

evening from Sth Australia (it's 11.32 pm Friday)

[@thatoceanvibe2058]

Australiaaa I wish to sail over so bad 🌊⛵️

[@bobrose7900]

Keep that fuel clean! Free of dirt and water and your problems with the outboard will not return! Great video.... fisherman here just drive past your boat at 20knots and the only thing they give you are waves slapping under the stern of the boat (rant!).

[@philgray1023]

Looked like my kind of outboard, not like the other 4 skulking in my shed.

[@wineguy47]

Alamitos Bay/Belmont Shores is a Great spot. My Daughter went to Long Beach State and stayed in that area for 10 years. I spent a lot of time in that area and the Marina where you were. I hope you checked out Schooner or Later, the restaurant in the corner next to West Marine where you were moored. I love Chicken Fried steak and they have the Best I have ever had in my travels.

[@BillB23]

I'm still waiting for non-skid. I suppose that can happen at almost any Mexican anchorage or marina. Fair winds and following seas.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Awesome episode!! Keep sailing safe Basik crew!

[@AlexGoesSailing]

"drift along at 4-6kts" that's my max speed in my little bathtub!!!!!

[@Big.Ron1]

Sweet! New outboard, fresh fish, but, how did the autopilot go? Thank you and be safe.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

LOL that would have been pretty funny if Teal would have broke out in the pirate song :) hehe

[@Loomis-kz1in]

Love the channel.... how do you find the docks you stay at. Does it cost. Thanks for the channel and your time....

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We check as we need them. They all vary in prices. Most are affordable some are extremely expensive. If we belonged to a yacht club, guest moorage is pretty reasonable since most yacht clubs have reciprocals. On this coast the average cost for our boat varies between $30-$100 per day. It really depends on the area. Thanks for following our channel!

[@sycopath8311]

When I’m under sail, I always have a line in the water.

[@ekavoian]

Teal, I might suggest you and your family invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. It is very important keeping your carb clean. Fuels below the border are sometimes suspect. I use Simple green and Dawn Liquid soap to clean my small engine carbs. Good luck. Is your new outboard a 4 stroke?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for the tip. Yes, this is a 4 stroke. They don't sell 2 strokes in the States anymore from what we have heard.

[@ChuckyPerk]

Take Compass to Naples Dog Park so he can do some business in the most expensive dog park in the USA and also Rosie's Dog Beach, he'll love it.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

🤣🤣🤣👍🐕‍🦺

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Teal make sure you learn about the places you're going to fish in advance so you can stock up on some proper or at least good all around lures, line, gaff etc. I've seen to many times sailors go out and are way under knowledge and equipped. Maybe even a folding crab trap so you can try your hand at catching some crab/lobster. Just saying 🐟

[@ThoughtfulWander]

LOL your fisherman source reminds me of my dad he never gave out his fishing spots hehe ;) hehe of course he did as long as he was not fishing there :)

[@EdmundRobinson]

Teal, what are you thoughts on diesel outboards so you don't need to carry petrol? Vanguarde makes a 20hp for lifeboats and Baltic Machinery sells/services a line of Yanmar diesel outboards from 18hp to 40hp.

[@1canstuntman]

haha outboard guy could probably set you up with a sweet deal on something else if his tee shirt is anything to go by....

[@endolfdaise5168]

I heard most of the port issues are due to strict California truck laws....

[@thewellnessworkshop1]

Will you guys be down to Huatulco...south of Puerto Escondido on the southern pacific mainland coast of MX?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We don't know, once we get to Mexico we have no set plans except to explore and enjoy our surroundings.

[@stephenmahoney9531]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidhawkins9782]

Teal walk of shame with the fish .new motor bigger fish

[@davidhawkins9782]

Maybe it should be dock of shame .🤓

[@jacksbackable]

That’s a Big outboard for 10hp......!😳 I’ll stick with my 2stroke, half the weight & twice the power! Also really easy to maintain and repair. Still interesting to see what others are doing. 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺

[@OnboardLifestyle]

This is the exact size and weight as the 20hp. If one day we want to upgrade the HP, there is a conversion kit so this was a good buy.
