The Rise of 2 Modern Day PIRATES | ep.4

[@pontoonrob7948]

I like the story telling. Funny how two experienced sailors set out but that's what experience does for you, it let's you wing it. If you do a more regular thing I'd gladly donate...

[@SpearItAnimal]

Haha yah we were definitely over confident with the condition of the boat. We're experienced with boats that are ocean ready. Now we're learning that's not the case for every boat that "looks good". Now we're getting experienced on what really qualifies a boat to be ocean worthy...

[@skycop56]

I’ve been in love with Sasha since that very first video with her sis. Competent, capable, and more than willing. You two make a great couple and team. The adventures ahead are going to be fun for all of us and I can’t wait. Both of you are Spirit Animals in your bodies, minds,and hearts. 200k subscribers will come quickly. ❤️❤️

[@rileybri]

Same, same, they were my very first ever Patron follow as well back then. So stoked to see the next stage of this adventure!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you!! We're both excited for this next adventure together even though it has not been easy. It'll just make us appreciate this life and experience even more after we make it through the challenges!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Hey Brian!! Great to see you here! We're excited to share it with you!

[@rileybri]

@spear it Animal, I told you I'd be back! We just had to buy a sailboat and stuff first ...

[@SpearItAnimal]

@@rileybri how’s the sailboat life? You and your daughter were going to try it out together right? If I remember correctly…

[@bertrambertram9173]

Watching from a bottom up adventure is as good as it gets. You two are a wonderful couple together

[@shadowedmoonchannel]

You guys are the most beautiful expression of freedom I've seen in ages, thanks for sharing your wonderful journey!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thank you!

[@rodneyjaynes2485]

I scrolled through the comments, and not one mention of a survey! You truly are Pirates! More guts than common sense! LOL I'll be watching!

[@mandmmilling3716]

There are 2 kinds of people. People who didnt get a survey before buying a boat, and people who never make that mistake again!!! Following seas suck, glad you guys made it.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Haha at this point we could survey any boat and see the condition it is truly in. Experiencing it first hand really helps

[@procharged67]

17.58 is just not enough time .I can watch you guy for hrs . But what a rush that trip must have been

[@SpearItAnimal]

Haha glad to hear that!

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Absolutely wonderful to see you two starting your dreams of sailing around the world! Go chase those dreams and satisfy the wanderlust, and wishing you fair winds and following seas in your journeys! You rock bigtime! Thanks so much for this episode!⚓⛵😎

[@edkleinstuber2119]

Another reason to look forward to Saturday!! You guys are moving up to #1 on my list. Entertaining and real, just like when you were sailing with your sister. Looking forward to watching how you fix it up.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Awesome!! Glad you're enjoying it!

[@markaikman]

Not an ideal trip, but I love this video, your energy and your attitude. The two of you are incredible and I am so stoked to keep following your adventure!

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thanks for the love Mark 🤘🏼🏴‍☠️

[@DBartWest]

Ok, leave us hang’in on the water. Next week. I know it hasn’t sunk because I just started following Brett and Jade. Looking forward to this adventure.

[@rwringstaff]

Love the energy, the determination and the dedication to getting it done.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Appreciate it!! And thanks for following the journey!

[@haydonditchburn2194]

Hey, I'd hang onto that Sasha.. She is just pure gold on a boat. Nothing seems to phase her, she never seems to stress & just gets about doing what has to be done. Not too many of them around. Be interesting to see what you find as you start the renovations. Was it once a Charter Boat..?

[@JonM-ts7os]

Love it! You capture the excitement and adventure which is why people watch.

[@skipper9400]

I do love your "Never Quit" attitude guys, and Sacha, I watched you forever on "Sailing the Farside"....it's just too bad your Sis can't be on here too .... anyhow, Remember to have fun along the way guys, keep yer heads together, and know that we are Pulling for you .....OnWard.....

[@SpearItAnimal]

We had a taste of the good cruising life and we want to get back there. It really helps us get through those tough times that it will all be worth it eventually!

[@BohemianBeatster]

It's a good thing you two know your ways around a sailboat, because it looks like your boat purchase is going to be a lot of work. Best of luck to the both of you.

[@deb8568]

I love how you guys are telling this story!! Great videos, keep them coming!!!

[@JoeKyser]

This is so comical yet so perfect for the content. What a true mission. Its like the least prep is the best content. Right on. Im stuck like glue guys

[@jaypell1732]

So stoked for your new channel. what a trip that was...I was dying laughing about the zig zag coarse. Your 100% correct about the way your living vs saving to retire. I'm that guy...15 more years and I'm living in the keys, but tomorrow isn't promised. Wise words!

[@meditation131]

Awesome the 2 loop de loops was hella funny, keep up the good work guy's ur super entertaining.. 🤙🤙🤙

Haha yah man, downwind sailing while hand steering is no joke!

[@johnjunior6101]

So glad to see you starting to post. Love seeing the adventure unfold.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Thanks John! We're excited to be sharing it with everyone, the good, the bad, and everything in-between!

[@QuincyMax2011]

Love you guys for the adventure! Raff yeah we all roll the dice and lose. you figured it out very early and I'm so proud of you for catching on while strong and young to experience what life has to offer! Thank you for recording an epic adventure!

[@davidkettell6236]

She is a much better sailor than you so let her take over . I guess you were never a bot scout or you would have been prepared .lol. Cannot wait for the next video.

[@jclements65]

Perfect sailing day, calm seas, gentle breeze and a beautiful woman topless. It doesn’t get any better than that

[@stuffilike4498]

These sort of adventures are more fun if somebody else owns the boat! 🤣 You made it safely, that's the main bit. Man, this boat needs more than just a spruce up for sure. (As an aside, as somebody who saw old vlogs, be nice to have a little catch up up with Freya, Luca and Nati at some point on this new journey if possible 👍)

[@SpearItAnimal]

I'm sure they'll make a guest appearance at some point! Tough not to see those cute little faces every once in a while

[@CorySPB]

Nothing more Qualified then wing on wing'n! Making your own auto pilot with a lil line, feeling of absolute freedom, a lil drag behind under sail, there's no waiting or hoarding cash the time is always right, time is not guaranteed. So untie, shove off and see where the wind takes ya! You guys have the perfect attitude and will make it anywhere you wanna go! Reminds me of many boats I've bought and said lets see how it goes! Cant wait to meet yall out there some day and find my other half along the way! cheers

[@mattherson83]

so awesome to see this collaboration of vlog'ers - looking forward to the journey

[@SpearItAnimal]

It's going to be a good one!

[@davidabatangelo7416]

Hi guys, looking forward to some great adventures! Love it when you meetup with other KZbinrs.

[@bamabldr66]

Congratulations to Sasha and Raff from Cliff at Battleship Marine Supply! Fairhope, Alabama

[@antonwiklund3402]

Love this stuff. Reminds me of when I bought my boat, and it ended up great. Keep fighting the good fight. Tip, get a moveable 12v spotlight u can attach to the boat during night, then in places where a lot of perhaps drunk people are driving around, you can light up the whole mast from bottom up. Gotta be pretty drunk to accidentally hit the boat then.

[@jimalden7130]

Dude. GLAD YOU MADE IT BACK TO SUNSHINE STATE!! You gotta lot of work to do . But like the Evans you are the man with the skills and Sasha aint scared of crap. You 2 got this

[@SailingYaba]

Crazy! Glad you made it ok! We could see the water in the bildge when you were switching the diesel tanks... so much water haha

[@_mysilentblue2227]

One hell of a shake down cruise.

[@mboyer68]

There's a transmission shifter cable that needs to get tightened up. That's why it wouldn't shift. You're very lucky it popped in gear! That was your angel helping you out I think, once stretched out they normally don't just work again. Awesome video, thank you for posting. I'm definitely a fan of the purple swimming suit!

[@stevecrombie5357]

It would appear that the adventure is beginning. I know we have had just a glimpse of what is to come, but I'm all on board. I hope that your subscriber numbers jump by leaps and bounds. Why am I not shocked that this appears to be a clothing optional boat? Stay safe and please continue to share the journey. Thanks.

[@haydonditchburn2194]

In my many years of cruising sailing, I've very often found that clothing optional is widely used. Particularly with females amongst the crew. Something about being on a small boat out of sight of land which just triggers things, then when one does, they all want to.. 🤩 Saves on the washing I guess..

[@SpearItAnimal]

Haha you're right, we definitely had many ups and downs along the way and some MAJOR learning lessons. Both of us had the experience of sailing fairly well maintained boats, which made us naive to a boat that had been so poorly maintained. We didn't think it could be that bad, but boy were we wrong... And that's the message we're trying to share. Yes we had it under control, had safety equipment on board, a satellite phone which we could've use in case of emergency after we realized our VHF didn't work. Luckily it didn't come to that, but we were a little more prepared than we let on. Just never judge a book by its cover!

[@robertgembala8532]

Great adventure so far , can’t wait to join the rest of your guys journey, good luck with everything

[@hpruijs]

So glad KZbin recommended this video! Watched all the video's in the meantime and subscribed, ofcourse!

You guys are great for each other, good team what a crazy adventure well done!

[@ballomni]

When you have too run someone up to the top of the mast, loop the halyard around the halyard wench to the genny sheet wench with the sheet block, more mechanical advantage, the one two make electric is the right Halyard wench, so there will be times when she has too hoist you.

Thanks 🎉

[@drdistorzion]

Fantastic!! Right when I didn't think I would see another sailing channel that could add anything to the ones I'm already subscribed to. :D As the saying goes, cruising is just boat work in exotic places. There are no boats without projects, only difference is if it's someone else's headache to fix it. (read charter boat). :D Maybe you got a few more projects than you bargained for, but that makes great content for us! :D (and I already know you have fixed here up so now you probably have a very nice boat that you know down to the smallest detail, that's worth a lot!) Cheers from a frosty Sweden!

[@RamblingRodeo]

I love watching you two, you got to do more videos more often like once a week.... So what is next pulling it out of the water and starting to work on it?

Looking forward to your adventures. And adventures they will be with a dream project on your hands.

Haha well I guess it depends on how you look at it, a dream project, or a project to live the dream! Definitely the later, but we're going to enjoy every second of the project!

[@ballomni]

Sheet to Tiller! In An Emergency with a down Auto Pilot. And using the emergency tiller.. Wind Vain steering can be setup with the emergency Tiller, and a couple of bungee cables too the Lee ward side, as the elastic, and a sheet from the main boom through a block on the windward rail, then too a half hitch on the tiller. Lots of trial an error to get it right. Not a bad idea too setup a system when you do not need it couple of cam cleats and depending on your emergency tiller how many blocks to need too make it work, but have used it has a wind vain system for years on my Cape Dory 25 in the 70’s. You can technically make it work on a wheel helm but takes more work..

[@rileybri]

You have gotten so good at story telling! Another great episode..... What will happen next? Guess I'll have to tune in next week and find out. Sometimes the game of *F around and find out" is well worth the "reward". Lol 😂 Could the original owner not step the mast?

[@SpearItAnimal]

We’re not sure how the original owner got the boat in. Stupid to sell a boat in a marina you can’t get out of…

[@rileybri]

I think we can all.agree that the sailing community is much better off now that you two have her. That kind of stupid should not own a boat.

[@fishing_fam_wa]

Great episode. I prefer less scripted narration but you guys are very likeable. Subscribed.

[@VenturiLife]

Just from the brief walkthrough footage there’s no way id move forward without a survey. Thats 100k refit if not more. That boat in StMartin looked like a much better boat.

[@philipwalls4818]

I like the philosophy... very existential. Although, you should never joke about the Jib... it can save your life. Colette and I met at a Gasparilla party, and our first conversation was about Camus and Sartre two famous French existentialists. Send our love to Sasha.

[@DiabloSpearguns]

Great video 🤙

[@jeannem6723]

You know, a little preventive maintenence could go a long way,,,,, before you leave the dock.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Very true, but the boat needed way more than preventative maintenance. We did an engine check, oil, coolant, belts were good to make the trip, just didn't have extra on board

[@marklapierre5629]

So that's how you got under the bridge. You filled the bilge with water which lowered your mast height above water. Good thinking. That's what I would have done.

[@SpearItAnimal]

Hahaha I call it an unintentional power move. Literally the only reason why we made it!

[@darylmorse7337]

Low transmission oil plus the other problems? Seems like some good important things to check before you would take off on a long trip.

Enjoyed the video.

[@jameskennedy6388]

FYI. Side shrouds are called ‘shrouds’. Forestay and back stay are ‘stays’. Any rope on a boat that has a function is a ‘line’. Also, I would hate to hear about an accident while sailing, please advise anyone with long hair, to tie it back while using winch so it doesn’t get wound in. Ouch!

Fresh water Rinse layup and Emergency Bilge Pump. On Starlight 1989 Beneteau Oceanis 350 has a Volvo Penta engine M2003 28hp anyway I was the second owner, so after I purchased the boat I was doing the shakedown cruise and ran the engine for about an hour and the overheated alarm went off , could not find a problem, cutting too the chase lots of growth and calcification of the tubes in the heat exchanger. Had too take the entire unit clean it and put it back, never wanted to do that again figured was not the use rather the extended, layup with saltwater, also the corrosion factor of the elbow, had to replace that. So as a solution I cam up with this manifold I constructed with brass and bronze fittings and ball valves for each connection, from the thru hull , to the manifold, ball on the thru hull and on the manifold did the same at the on end valve to the sea strainer to the engine, next thru hull, pressure fresh water, and at the other end again valve to a run to the bilge. This allows me to turn on the fresh water, backwash the thru hull, then shutoff and run the engine for 2 minutes on fresh water before shutting down the engine for the night or an extended time. It also in the final configuration allows me to bring to bear as an emergency pump, on my main bilge the engine, if there is a major leak in the boat that bilge pumps cannot handle for whatever reason, (lightning strikes) etc. I often use the fresh water system when she is on the hard, and I need to run the engine, like changing oil, etc. I have 100 gallons of water on Starlight, you should see the looks I get in the yard with no hose, on the hard, yet engine running and water from the exhaust and prop shaft running out. In 20 years have not had any overheating issues or had to deal with the heat exchanger or the elbow, which is notorious on Volvos..

So what would you guys have done differently with hindsight? Would you have saved the cost of the survey in terms of knocking the price down? Would you have done a bit of work (sail slides, navigation lights, engine filters, oil change etc) before leaving? Look forward to seeing how you get on - all the very best of luck :-)
