275: IT RIPPED IN 8 MONTHS? Trampoline changes and trip the ER

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Due to more health issues, we moved into a marina to rest and change out our trampoline. We loved our time at the dock which made life so much easier to get on/off the boat, see sloths, have access to the city, visit doctors, and get things done. Check out our video to see our time in La Playita Marina.

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!
If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!

I strongly suggest coating the new nets to reduce deterioration from the sun. If they came with a coating, I'd coat them again ASAP and do it again every 3 years.
My F-9A has main nets made of that same material. The first set last only 3 years in the SoCal sun. My current set has last over 20 years. They came coated but I have rolled a black latex on them at least 4 times. The stuff I bought came from Sunrise (I think) but I think any latex paint would work.
You would definitely want to do it in as little wind as possibly so any drips or roller spray does not hit your white hulls and there's less chance of flipping the roller tray (which makes a real mess)
The difference in service life of coating the nets vs not coating them is astounding.
Wow. Never heard of that!! Thanks for the tip. Will see if we can find latex in the marquesas!!
Oh you looked so sad laying in that hospital bed without oxygen mask on you please get better and I hope brown's back is doing good Sometimes we must take a break from our adventures and heal our bodies I was really amazed at the way those boats were shifting around in the Marina my goodness you weren't kidding when you said it was rough in they're wow And I bet you really enjoyed seeing the sloths crawl across the power lines oh they are so cute oh I love them so much thank you for the beautiful smiles see you next week
Thank you for always commenting and being so encouraging!! Ha ha. Thankful that lung inflammation is gone. I felt horrible! Ha!! All good now. And Brown is too. We are grateful!! See ya next week!
I’m assuming your boat has a/c? Please turn it on & pull your shades, lay down & rest the bad back & stay out of the air pollution from the fires. ❤
Yes, thank you. This is 3 months ago and we have fully recovered. ❤️ Thanks for your care and concern!
