Loved the views of entering the inlet at Southport. That's where I sea trialed my boat before purchasing it. Not a sailboat, but a 24' center console. The algorithm just popped up your channel earlier tonight and I've been binging your videos from the point you first moved into your sailboat.

The algorithm sent me here when you guys picked up the boat. I'm glad it did. I will have to say though, the government contract in Wyoming has me interested in knowing more about that. Looking forward to hearing some about you guys side jobs in the future hopefully to give me a bit of inspiration to try some new things myself.

Since the belt was loose there is a good chance the alternator wasn't charging so the battery may have been low when you were trying to restart. A low battery won't allow the starter solenoid to make good contact, so won't engage the starter. So you should be good. Also, you can make a heat shield if you're concerned about the starter getting heat soaked. You can make a heat shield out of the metal from a can of beans or a tasty beverage can. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Love that you guys jumped into sailing and are explaining as you go. It was a great video and that was my old stomping grounds, love that part of the east coast. One positive and one constructive criticism. Love the shots of sailing remember that is what we landlocked folks are here for. Two be careful of your words about someone’s backyard, Georgetown might be a little berg, but it’s somebody’s little berg. Love the channel show some of Wyoming it’s another favorite spot of mine.

When you talking to us about the engine, your outfit was perfect with the original Mad Max. LoL 😂🤣 Also, it is very good idea to always discuss with each other the pro/con of the trip. We did that on our boat and kept a journal. Happy sailing ⛵

So cool you guys were in Georgetown. I live about 20 minutes north on the coast from where you were. That inlet coming into Georgetown is notorious for high winds and heavy chop, but the whole coast there really is beautiful. So excited to see what sailing adventures the future holds!

Thoroughly enjoying your channel. For whatever reason, I was never recommended your channel by KZbin until you began sailing. I suppose because I'm subscribed to several sailing channels. Anyway, I'm enjoying watching y'all grow in experience sailing, overcoming fears while learning about your boat and simply enjoying life's adventure. Stay Awesome! < fist pump >

Good to see you always upgrading your boat with safety equipment. We were concerned about your safety when the engine stopped running. Then the waves getting larger. Good to have a competent mechanic on board. I don’t think you can call AAA when something goes wrong. Congratulations again on your chosen new life. Still waiting for my new hat to purchase 😊

Some years ago my seawater intake clogged with debris and caused my engine to over heat. Just something else to always check ❤ . I really enjoy following along on your adventures.

Enjoy y'all channel. I was just watching Tula endless summer and they have a Seawind and had engine overheating issues also. Y'all found belts to be the issue but they're problem was with the water intake filters. Billy said it was a bad design so y'all may want to check that when y'all get back to the boat.

Bravo, This is all soo awesome!! So thrilled to see what you guys are up to weekly. I have watched every video since Goose got the pop top conversion, several many times over. I am interested in small vehicle overland and medium catamaran adventure. I was looking for Peru material when I found you guys. You have lead me around on quite an amazing adventure so far. I am more than excited that you are forging a new course in another of my interests. Fabulous content, great delivery, awesome humor! On the humor thought, I am surprised that there was not a reference to Bill Murray "I'm Sailing!". Take care, Dwayne

I love the videos and your sense of adventure, not only in travel but also in trying and learning new things. I've just discovered your channel, so I don't know much about you two. I got a few questions if you don't mind. * Did you have any marine/sailing experience before taking this on? * How did you learn so much about your boat and sailing so quickly? * Tim, I'm pressed with your knowledge of the engines and ancillary boat systems and how well you repair and maintain them. Do you have a mechanical background, self-taught, or what? Thanks for taking the time to respond! Sunil

Greetings from the Gold Coast, Australia 🇦🇺 Really enjoy your show, you guys obviously have some strong DIY & mechanical skills, do you think it would be realistic to do what your doing, without that skill set? I suspect if a person with no experience were to buy a boat like yours, learning to sail is probably the east part, as you could start off with easy passages in good weather, and build from there. But it seems fixing everything that breaks would be the challenge.
@DirtSunriseАй бұрын
You can always learn, but it certainly gives us an advantage coming in with those skills. Makes everything just a little less overwhelming haha.

I have a Freightliner Detroit deisel. Anytime it under a heavy load climbing through the rockies I cut off ACand start watching the Temps, at around 225 degrees the coolant system starts running g coolant through the engine until it cools to about 200 degrees, hope this helps I know uts not a boat buts it's sort of similar

OK so how do you determine where you can anchor overnight in a port?
@DirtSunriseАй бұрын
That spot in georgetown there were a few other boats and then there are plenty of spots listed on apps like navionics, we are always watching our depth meter and looking around for anything that could be a hazard and then you have to judge the hold which really depends what's on the bottom.

Suggestion: You should change the name of your tender so that when someone sees your tender at the dock, they know that you are away from your boat.
