I mean, yeah lol

Agree

Thank you ⛵

Thank you , what we are trying to show, no storyline, no fake scenarios , just what we go through and what to expect for people looking to get into it .

Thank you !!

The fortress wouldn't grab in there and our main anchor is a mantus. I believe the issue was not enough scope, but it was narrow in there with not a lot of room

It was a day lol

Very small budget. We have talked about it and worst case we will go home, work , save more , fix and start again

Not that fast, we averaged 7.2knots this sail

One-day you will

Yeah, was a great little dog Beach, I played with a few pups while there !!

Thanks , she been a lot of work and still making us work lol we looked for a used oven but for the money we decided to just buy new, didn't want to worry about it breaking on us . Congrats on the boat , sounds like some work ahead for you but it will be worth it in the end . The strut bolts on, is it the bolts that snapped? If so you may could get a diver to help replace them in the water. Go ahead and get towing from boat US , then get one to tow you as far as they will. Then call the other to tow the rest of the way !!

@@GoingWith-TheFlo Diver didn't mention anything about bolts. He thinks that it is glassed in to the hull itself. Sure would make it easy if it was only bolts to replace. I was thinking that the entire strut was made of bronze or a similar alloy. In the photo on your boat you can see the brazing/weld seam at the top of the strut. If I could dive I would likely just put in 4 bolts to secure the strut and then repair that work on the hard. I don't have any drilling tools that work underwater but having some pilot holes to line up with under the cockpit and then to drill down from the interior through the dull and into the strut seems like it might work. OTOH, if it didn't then I'd four holes below the water line!! Thanks for your insight. I've never seen the bottom of this boat, yet.

@aa3nk it is bronze, ours is bolted . Right in front of the aft bed we have a opening in the floor and under it are the 4 bolts to hold it to the boat. Maybe not factory on ours, but the strut does sail gs41

@@GoingWith-TheFlo Ok, I know where those access plates are in the aft cabin. When you look down on it, you are seeing nuts, washers, and a backing plate, right? If so that would mean that bolts are fed through the base plate that is at the top of the strut. On your boat that base plate is white and probably sealed with 3M 5200 marine sealant. Can you estimate what size the bolts are, i.e. 1/4" or maybe larger? Well, actually, if you put a socket on the nut the bolt will be the next step down in size so the socket is likely to be a 1/2" or a 5/8" On yours it's evident that the strut was welded onto the strut base plate and I think that is likely what is going to have to happen to mine. Thanks for you help with this, I am getting a mental image of how it all comes together from your descriptions and the divers comments about the strut being cleanly separated from the hull.

Thank you !! I wish we could, our boat only carries 60 gallons of fresh water, we struggle keeping it full

We had a ice maker but the space and power just wasn't worth it to us, Kasi found some small ice trays and been good with just those . Thanks but we already left, we a few weeks behind on vids from real time Hope to catch up one day, there a link to our Facebook in the video description, give us a follow and then it's real time updates , maybe one day we will be in the same spot !

Just a plain old bushwhacker for me!

Thank you !! 😊

Thanks, hope everything good your way !!

Thank you and yes he does!!

This marina was extremely cheap !

Thanks , hate it because it's new chain.

Yeah, was a day I won't forget and a choice I'm glad we've made!

Was great sailing The other day, most of it was above 7 knots

Thank you, we trying to !

Lol

⛵

Thanks

Thank you !! 🍻⛵

Robbins a great guy!! Port St Joe one of our favorite places ! We lived in Foley for a long time. It's changed alot needless to say lol

@@GoingWith-TheFlo I know it’s crazy in Foley to Gulf Shores,traffic is insane Enjoying your channel,it’s chill and totally realistic about living on a sailboat.I also have a Gulfstar but mine is A 47 motor sailor,Hurricane victim in Florida.I know some friends in key west maybe I can put you in touch,I met them in a local boatyard and they rented from my mom while the were here.

​@@markbuskens6070 thank you! We are a few weeks behind on vids, we have already passed key West in Marathon now getting ready to hit the Bahamas

We actually from Pensacola, on the way to the Bahamas now and will be back in Pensacola next fall

@ that’s awesome ! I’m in Gulf Shores , look forward to seeing some updates on the trip.

Heck we'd need her to do more cooking for that !!

She doesn't remember, it was one she found in Google. Wish she could find it again because they were pretty good!!!

Thanks and yes, everyday learning something new for sure!

Thanks! How far south? We actually in the keys right now

@@GoingWith-TheFlo MIAMI

@ we are staying Miami but we are going to Key West this week

@@SAILINGCHAOS-1 we will be in key West Friday

We hope to live in it for a along time as well, thanks!! So far we love the boat, we are in the Florida keys on it now !

Neither of us work anymore

It happens about every 3 months, RUclips recommends it , pick up subscribers and then they don't recommend again for awhile, it's weird lol

Yeah, been a battle with the batteries, still dealing with rain and clouds. The fridge sucked, but we do have 3 of them on the boat lol Love the hookah!! Been money very well spent ! Yeah, outboards by myself is a nightmare

Hello 👋⛵⛵

Yeah we good, we actually in the keys now and had to deal with the last 2 of them .

Tides get me all the time lol Hope everything good ! Missing you buddy!

Thank you !

Unfortunately no, this gonna be 2 storms we've had to deal with now. But we just anchored in a hopefully good spot to ride out this one. Thankfully we were able to run from it and are south in the keys

@@GoingWith-TheFlo Glad to hear you ran right through. I live in Orlando and was supposed to head north for hurricane restoration work today but my plans got cancelled on Saturday. Good luck down there. I hear Grenada, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba and Panama are nice this time of year.

We are all safe! Ran up into the Okeechobee Waterway about 22 miles inland

We are in fort Myers area now up the river.

@GoingWith-TheFlo Stay safe and keep us updated when you can, please. I've got my fingers crossed, but this storm looks pretty wicked.

The low batteries is probably the worst part. A few more weeks and weather should be good!

We trying to decide now on where to ride it out and gonna go wherever tomorrow

Well you either need to go much further south or back to Pensacola but I would get out. That area gets nailed

go west it's best.

@@cheyrlschwind2783 we got as far inland as we could. Think we in a ok spot to ride this out

@@russell3380 we went inland about 25 miles up the river . Hopefully it works out for us

Some nights are hard some are easy, we will !
