Preparing for our LONGEST crossing yet

- We are about to leave for the 680 nautical mile sail to La Graciosa in the Canary Islands. Having hopped over to the anchorage from the marina, we had a long list of boat jobs to crack on with, from wiring in our anchor light, to finally stopping that awful rattle of our mizzen coaxial cable.

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit

You should use the black UV-resistant zip ties, the white ones will get brittle after some time.
What a nice couple on a magnificent adventure. You deserve far more subscribers.
Awwww thanks ☺️
Funny how the little things can be so satisfying. I recently ditched the tape on my bottle screws and bought some double sided velcro about 1” wide. Cut to lengths and would round the split pins it is easy to inspect and no plastic waste. Every little bit helps. Andy UK
That a really good idea Andy, thanks for the info 😁
what a fantastic cause, honestly you two are such a lovely couple and i'm putting an order in for my wife and me to support, absolute respect for that
Thank you sooo much for helping us support the club, it means a lot to us!
You folks are amazing. I have so enjoyed your journey. I wish you the best.
Thank you ☺️ Happy Christmas 🎄
Happy Festive Season !
Cheers, happy Christmas to you too 😁
Awesome 👍🦘
Thanks Andrew 😁
Another brilliant episode guys 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Stuart, thanks 😊
Looks like you guys are having so much fun! Been here since your land adventures. I didn’t realize all the struggles as a boat owner but you guys really seem to be doing great and enjoying it!
Thanks for following along for so long ❤️ It’s not always plain sailing 😅
Honestly watching your videos is one of the best parts of my week please don’t ever stop living the dream and sharing it with us. Have a safe passage big love from Newcastle Upon Tyne :)
Comments like this really made our days, thank you so so much Noah 😍 We wouldn’t be here without people like yourself 😊 Happy Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas Brian 🎄
The feeling when you make something work is the best!
It’s one of the best feeling 😁
Such a joy to watch. Good to see you both living your dream!
Thanks for following along 😊
Zach and Becka,
For a certain Skipper, I will withhold your name, but I will refer to you as Sparky; you have become quite the electrical engineer and always eager to acquire electrical knowledge. Kudos to you. Thank y'all for sharing.
Cheers!
Faithfully,
James
James,
Thanks for your lovely comment, Becka has certainly come a long way since we started!
Kindest regards,
Zach and Becka
good luck
Thanks Joseph 😁
One of my sailor friends and I talked about the noise of the cables in the mast just yesterday. He told me to use a loom or a conduit. He also said that when the noise is gone, it will be an equally uneasy feeling since you are so accustomed to it. I thought that was so funny and it kinda makes sense. The idea of sailing is to reduce the noise and listen to the wind and sails. Brave girl going up thee mast. I couldn't do it.
We should have put the cable in a conduit when the mast was down (silly us), we have managed to cable tie it now. Its definitely not the best fix, but it will do for now 😅 Becka is definitely braver than me too!
Refreshing, real and a pleasure to watch your videos. It’s great to share in your joy.
Thanks Charles 😄
Enjoyed your video, wish you Marry Xmass, ♥️♥️🥰🥰🎄🎄
Thanks, Happy Christmas 😁
The cool kids these days say "you got teulu-ed"! In case you're not hip or cool, it's a synonym for getting pranked or tricked (especially when you initially think something will be easy)...
Hahaha one of the best comments I’ve seen, thanks Craig 😂
Thanks for fixing the coax clang..... bliss👍👍👍
Finally 😅
“Whose ya Daddy?” , save that talk for the Mrs Zack 🫣
I can’t believe she added that in the video hahaha 🤣
Your a better man than I, Gunga Din..... all I can do with electronics is curse and beat on them.
Oh, the Canaries? Nice choice. Its a little amazing to think that if you had been a year earlier, you could have seen the eruption on La Cubra Vieja. Veaho? Vee..... something, I dunno. Spanish makes me illiterate.
It’s not always easy ahaha, that would have been amazing to witness from a distance!
@@TeuluTribe This is why I mentioned Bushcraft Bear to you a while ago. He lives there, and gave daily reports while it was going on. Mostly from the other side of the valley so we could see everything, but he was not shy about betting closer.
A LOT closer.
Super-cool guy, you might want to look him up if you ever get the chance.
Yippee…Passage Prep\Provisioning lots of Fun😜 Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy 😎
Load of fun 😍 Thanks Steven 😌
Y'all are such a joy I just love watching your channel from Panama City Florida
Cheers Terry, it seems like we have quite a few followers from Florida. Thanks for following along 😁
Merry Christmas guys! Hope you're having a great sail!
Happy Christmas Tom, it was a lovely trip thanks 😊
First time subscriber, I enjoy your journey and I love to see you guys on passage. I have to go back and watch your past videos.
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy them 😊
Zach and Becka,
Merry Christmas to You and Your Family. I wish you the best, today and for the upcoming years.
Cheers and Blue Skies!
Faithfully,
James
Thanks James! Merry Christmas to you too
I do not have my anchor light working yet...but soon I will also be one of the cool kids
Thanks for another awesome video! I live vicariously through your adventures before I can do it myself
Thanks Juliet, hopefully we will see you on the water someday 😁
Great to see you paying forward to your local sailing club.
Had exactly the same thought. Brilliant of you.
The whole reason we found Teulu is because of a guy who works there. We wouldn’t be here without his help, so we really wanted to give back to something that we close to his heart 😊
Great vlog! Passage prep is SO important. Safe travels and fair winds. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas 🎄
So important 😊 Thanks, happy Christmas 🎄
I look forward every week to your video when you look back it’s absolutely amazing just how far you have both come what with Becca and her amazing talents with electricity and Zach the mechanic still can’t believe how he manages to fit in that area beside the engine but we all know he loves tiny confined spaces talent with the editing, and the video quality just gets better and better I want to take this opportunity to wish you both a very Merry Christmas and every success in 2023😊
We love reading your comments Paul, thanks for being a part of the journey 😄 Becka has definitely come a long way and my skills at squeezing in the engine room have also improved haha 😂 We hope you have a lovely Christmas Paul!
Good luck on the voyage looking forward to the next episode of the sailing fair winds
Thanks John 😄
Thank you for sharing. Safe travels!
Cheers 😁
A butane whip! "It'll look a lot better!"
Fingers firmly crossed for you guys. x
Cheers 😁 x
Top electrical fixing. Nice time to be going to Canary Islands.
I don’t know what I would do without Becka 😅

Brilliant bit of electrical wiring, 'Sparky'. Great to see you have a head for heights. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to both of you. Fair Winds and Following Seas.
Becka has come so far 😁 Hope you have a lovely Christmas Russ 😊
Becka has come so far 😁 Hope you have a lovely Christmas Russ 😊
you guys might want to think about getting a desalinization system for your boat
Always enjoy your adventure. Great place to moor at Fuerteventura is Corralejo Bay. Look forward to your next episodes in 2023. Happy Xmas and New Year.
Thank you Mike 😌 We will have to check it out thanks for the advice. Happy Christmas to you too.
Hi. Loving watching u both sail. The insulation tape u use to cover Sharpe things you cud try "self amalgamating tape instead. It's very good it self sticky rubber tape. IE . Electrical,water pipes as well as fuel pipes. It does NOT perish like insulation tape Car manufacturers use it. Best place to get it is Amazon. I'd send U a roll but never know where ul be.
Thanks for the advice, I’ll see if I can pick some up 😁
Have a great Christmas guys. Love the content you do really enjoy the boat work. I think you have a nice balance sailing,boat work and the exploring new places
Cheers Chris, we hope you have a lovely Christmas too! Glad you like the mix 😁
You'll have to verify if I'm right but I recall sailors using "Stainless Steel Seizing and Locking WIRE" instead of "Cotter Pins" to secure shackle and turn buckles.
They use both 😊
Merry Christmas to you both. Love to see your adventures.
Happy Christmas, thanks ☺️
Merry Christmas guys! great video and have a safe trip to the Canary Islands. in one of your videos you had fungus you bread i live in Australia in summer we put our bread in the fridge
Thanks John, we hope you have a Merry Christmas too!
Hope you both have a great Christmas at sea
We might end up spending it on land depending on weather 😊
Awesome video guys
Thanks Coenie 😃
Guessing that you have made port in the Canaries. I do hope that you found the Atlantic rollers more boring than fearsome. It's not much of a secret that sailors prefer boring to exciting on passage! (But you don't have to tell the rest of your viewers, do give them a cliffhanger, or breaking wave, or two) Another good job, keep telling your story! Merry Christmas.
Bob, on a cold Wild Rose.
Hi Bob 😊 We have indeed, the Atlantic rollers were beautiful and dull. Just how we like them 😂 We hope you have a lovely Christmas too!

Good work with the electrics.......it won't get any easier!
Haha thanks 😊
@@TeuluTribe I removed mine from the mast and now have one suspended from the forestay. I never thought it was very visible at the top of the mast and lower down it also helps illuminate the decks, making me more visible.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year hope you have or had a great sail without any problems
We hope you have a lovely Christmas too Joe 😁
Merry Christmas 🎉
Happy Christmas Joe 😁
Merry Christmas from the US! Love how responsible you 2 are but PLEASE wear eye protection when pouring engine fluids. 1 splash is all it takes. (I'm not your mom but I am a mom haha)
Thanks Cathy, we hope you have a happy Christmas too 🎄 I’ll make sure I wear some next time 😅
Safe passage bon voyage
Cheers 😄
"The green wire is connected to the pink ant-freeze, and the white wire's connected to the knee bone..."
I swear I saw a passing seagull in the background, drop out of the sky unconscious when it got within earshot of that explanation...
Happy northern hemisphere winter solstice and a merry fresh orbit of the sun...or something..
Hahah this has to be the funniest comment I’ve read for a while. Happy Christmas haha 😂
My wife wanted to treat me to a T shirt for Xmas but was gutted as there aren’t any 3XL… She said I should have been the first order 🤣🤣🤣
Ps Merry Xmas
I’ll see if we can add any to the store, thanks for your support Rob and Happy Christmas 🎄 😄
If you can see a red light its not an anchor light its a tricolour for when you are sailing
Sail Life RUclipsrs are in same bay as you. You should try and meet them. They are crossing the Atlantic.
We were lucky enough to spend the best part of a month with sail life, hopefully we will get to spend some more time with them soon 😍
Great video Thank you.
Can you tell me please , What is that black thing you hoisted up the rigging.????
It’s to signal to other boats that they are at anchor
Spot on 😊
Cheers Ron, it’s to tell others we are at anchor.
I hope you are keeping a note book with all these wiring "discoveries" recorded.
It’s becoming a series of books 😅
Y’all have been at this for a while now, and it shows in your confidence. At what point did you feel like sailors compared to displaced land lubbers? If my wife and I decide to do this, I’m curious what the transition time is to adapting to life on the water.
We are definitely more confident than we were at the start of the year! I think it was only recently we started to feel more adapted to life on the water. But I guess it depends on what kind of sailing you are doing, it’s taken us more longer to feel calmer in bigger seas compared to being in marinas/at anchor 😊
Red and green anchor light? Isn't it 360° white?
It’s a tri colour and anchor light in one. Using reverse polarity- you flick the switch one way and it’s a tri colour light for sailing, and you switch it the other way and it’s an all round white anchor light
@@TeuluTribe Ahhh, that's different. Great that you clarified this. Thank you for your response and for the great videos you're uploading.
Hi Becka and Zack Im looking forward to your next video if this Video was amazing and awesome your bext one even Epic . Are you all ready for xmas done shopping hope we can be friends would it be wiers if passed number on 🎄🦌🌲⛄️☃️🤶🎄🐻❄😊🎅⭐️❄️
Hi Bethaney, thank you so much we are glad that you liked it that much 😊 We are definitely ready for Christmas. I hope you have a happy Christmas 🎄
@@TeuluTribe would it be ok if i passed my email or mobile number to keep in touch be friends if ok or is that wierd
rain water will give you a good bath too grab some shampoo and bathe in the rain
...and the green goes to the blue and the yellow goes to the brown, no, the red, maybe? Or the black has to be cut to fit into that length of.... well, etc. It's doing my head in, just listening to you. As I said once before, I think, the electrical "stuff" was so not my thing back in the day, I absolutely hated it. There's always a certain logic to it, IF you can see it. I did not. Or I was so pissed off with it all that I just told my wife SHE had the "nimble" fingers, not me, so it was obviously not my job but hers. Problem solved. And my electrical system was nothing like as sophisticated as yours. I didn't even have electric start, I had to fire the engine up by cranking up a big heavy fly wheel, and rush up the gangway into the (centre) cockpit to take charge of the wheel. It could get hairy. No, not the wheel...
It’s definitely wasn’t the simplest joe haha 😆 It sounds like a challenge to start her up, thanks Leon!
😀👍👍❤
