Been a few. How have things been going up there? I'm sure this fire season is keeping you guys busy. We are doing some east coast traveling this summer before heading back out to the boat. Although, we do miss the upper west coast and it's beauty.

If you know, you know....... Lol

It was an experience. If for nothing more than to encourage us to take the offshore route next time. Lol

After a certain amount of rum, you not only see double, but sometimes you speak double too. Lol

😂

Same. I will take a few scratches any day. She is coming new for a new bottom job in the next year. So, we can resolve those scratches.

Yes we are. So much to catch up on. Alot of changes, travel, and assisting family happening recently.

Thank you. Let's see if this new method holds true over time with all the extra zippers.

We are not sure. Our next sail plan has us offshore from Chesapeake straight to the Bahamas in the next season depending on the family assistance needed, and the purchase of a new autopilot.

Yes. She is an '86 Endeavour 35.5. Just the perfect size. Although, we still have that 5.5ft draft to take into consideration.

Keep that goal in sight! It comes before you realize and then you are retired for 5 years in a blink.

We have the Mast Mate climber. We would recommend it for sure. We use our Spinnaker line as our safety line with a boatsun chair. The person handling the safety line will help keep tension on the line and assist with climbing. Nit that you "need" it. But it does save some upper body tiredness. Allows you more time to work without wearing yourself out. Also keeps the straps from hurting your feet and helps any foot fatigue if you are at one place for a while.

It tastes even better than it looks.

Thanks. We have been divers for a long time. So, we modified them for us to understand easily. Unless it's pitch black and you're dragging anchor. Then yelling works great. Lol

You know..... We have some changes coming up, and I keep that little rubber chicken in my pocket and say to myself "don't be a chicken" all the time now. Thanks.

@@knotvanilla7808 that’s awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing! Keep inspiring others!

I know right? We can't even remember the last time we saw one.

I will have to tell you how it goes after I wake up from my coma. Miss you guys too.

We took advantage of the workspace to work on some projects. So, you will get to see it.

Yes. Ours is an '86 Endeavour 35.5.

Thanks. It's always great returning from our annual break.

If you liked that one, wait til you get to see how blue and clear the water on tomorrow's video. Lol

@@knotvanilla7808 I'm looking forward to it!

I know right? Being on the boat works your core muscles without even doing anything but keeping your balance.

Thanks. It's always fun coming back after a break and catching up.

Thank you. And yes, the project list never ends.....even when you finish it. But the good news is that you never get bored.

It was the Ft Lauderdale inlet.

Mady always says, go big or go home. Also, we tend to learn more when it's either a sink or swim situation. So, we have learned you can do almost anything you set your mind to. Plus......RUclips is one of our closest friends for projects like this.

Yes. We take a break every year away from everything, do some repairs, spend time with friends and family, and create our next year's plans. Next video will go live this afternoon.

Such a cool little boat. She is a gem for sure.

The only way.

We are posting again as of today. Next video will go live this afternoon. We usually take a nice long break each year to evaluate our plans for the next year, do repairs, and spend time with friends and family. We have alot to share this year.

We are back from our annual break we take every year to review our year, trips, plans, repairs, and spend time with family and friends. We just started posting again, and will go live today.

@@knotvanilla7808 Yaaaaaaahhhh.

She is a 1986 Endeavour 35.5.

It has been a lifesaver. And since we actually wired it in to work as intended, we wonder how we ever survived without it.

@@knotvanilla7808 good to know. Mine will be a project as well. Thank you

We usually take a nice long break every year. We spend some time with the family, evaluate our recent trips, do some repairs, and make our next year's plans. We just started posting again after our last break.

Thank you for joining in. We hope some of our videos are just as entertaining for you to watch as they were for us to make.

Getting up on a plane with 2 people can be a challenge. But as long as the water is calm, it can still happen. With a single person, it will happen in seconds. We use a 6HP Tahatsu which we love. With 2-4 people we go about 7 kts tops, and with one person The Child will slide along the water at about 15kts.

The more you do them, the easier they get. Sometimes a 2nd set of hands is invaluable. And especially goes quickly when your 2nd set of hands have done the job before.
