Refit and repair in Ecuador proves a bit challenging for the crew of Zingaro. Different culture, language, and availability of parts make boat work very interesting...

Heads Up Guys. Saw James taking stuff out of the fridge that you don't need to keep cold. The thing is... a full fridge/freezer will retain its temperature better than a fridge/freezer that's empty or half empty. The less air space you have in your fridge or freezer the better. Even if you have to use ice bottles or water bottles... keep your fridge full of something. Yes it will take energy initially to cool the items down but once they are cold they will help keep it cold... especially when you're opening it often. When you open the fridge or freezer the cold air leaks out. And it is replaced with warmer outside air. Soooo, the less air in the fridge or freezer the less temperature leakage you get. I live in Corpus Christi Texas (Hurricane Alley) and whenever there's a storm in the Gulf I make sure my fridge and freezer is full of stuff (often it's just water bottles in the fridge and ice bottles in the freezer) in case the power goes out. It helps keep the fridge and freezer colder longer... if your freezer is half-full put some water bottles in there and turn them into ice that way you can turn the freezer off for a little while everyday... and another great thing is when they melt they don't leak everywhere. So if you guys get another refrigerator-freezer system try it out. Trust me... it will make a huge difference. Anyway you guys look great. Glad to see you're having fun doing your thing. And your Spanish is awesome... later... :)
You guys make the best videos! Well produced and enjoyable to watch! Your intro is amazing! And James.....you F’in lucky bastard!
YOU GUYS CRACK ME UP! Keeping it REAL ❤
You may want to install a new 12 volt fridge. Build your own cooler or an insulated box. A 100 watt solar panel will run a fridge when the sun is out. good luck :)
Danfoss makes a good unit, draws 4 amps. Sad, to bad the builder didn't use bronze nails, strong as steel, bronze screws are better, :)
LOL! Little did you guys know at this point.. YOU'RE GETTING A NEW BOAT!!! WOO HOO!!!!
Fixing your boat in exotic locations! Dude, boats are a pain in the ass, but look where you are!!
When you tie-up at the dinghy dock, you would never have to worry about anyone stealing your dinghy. Love your videos and good luck with the shots that you need.
KImmy excellent observation of medical practices and conclusions that can be drawn from it. Thank you.
Admire your work and I have been enjoying your adventures. Love the way you work together. I wish I could be there to help with the repairs. Kimmie impresses me with her knowledge and skills to work with the boat. Keep up the great work and great videos.
20 years ago I ran a propane fridge. After I dd the math I realized I was spending a fortune on propane.
So I got a 3 ft tall bar fridge for $300 and 2 250 watt solar panels for $400 and a 24 Volt inverter . No charge controller and no battery. I kept 4 bottles of frozen water in that little freezer up top , and it kept the food nice and cold all night when there was no sun. Next morning it would start up again and keep those bottles frozen. If you want to go luxury and get a couple deep cycle batteries and a charge controller ,you'll have extra power for your electronics
Man you guys must be so pleased now you have the new dinghy!!!
Bought two shirts! Break it, bail it, fix it, sail it. No finer words of wisdom were ever spoken! Love you guys!!! Keep going!!#
.... Like how Kimmie is quite the little bargainer and makes sure that nothing is lost through the difference in language .... so does that mean that the propane stove is gone as well ... changes are happening, that scenario where you put up with it cause that is what is there and one day "HAD IT" and it is gone to make room for new whether it be a fridge or even a routine one has .... change is awesome, makes room for bigger and better solutions to take place .... have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
LMFAO!
That little fridge tantrum was classic.
thanks for the fun and informative (medical stuff) upload.
Heh loved the ending on a James rant
Ya I was with you on the fridge until the no more cold beer part
Encebollado!!! Fish soup for breakfast 😋
so entertaining - whether at sea or land - just love Kimmi's accent - reminds me of the years i spent in Heidelberg.
I can deal without the milk......but the cold beer has to be available at any moment! Good call on a Yamaha, they are the best IMO 🍻🍺🍻
Thanks for making my day suck a little less. You'all are great. Keep up the good work
You should buy a soft sided fridge that runs on electric . I have seen one sailing channel that has one and has used it for years. It was set up to plug into a lighter but they changed that and made it fixed into the wiring. It now runs of solar and the other electrical power gens they have. Delos also converted from propane because of the propane problem. Each place had different bottles and fittings and would not fill there bottles so away they went .
Love the way you're just throwing everything out of the fridge!!
Gotta have cold beer
Yes! So happy I can finally order some official "Germaid" shirts! You guys are the real deal sailors!
ditch the cold beer...just stock up on that yummy Caribbean rum!
2.5 Yamaha is 33 lbs.its a great motor
check out peltier freezer plates
You can find 3 way fridges. They have them for RV's in North America and I am sure they have them elsewhere also. get a few solar panels and 2 deep cel battery's and a good pure sine power inverter and that will take care of the fridge issue. Also, I agree with the electric motor for the dingy. You can find good used ones cheep. I found one off one of those Facebook buy and trades for $50. Canadian that needed 30 seconds work to get running again. And for just cruising to the marina or to a beach, that 37 lb thrust will work fine. also very light and easy to remove so it won't get stolen
I LOVE watching your videos...always surprising and so funny...THANK YOU for making me laugh.
LOL. Talk about a work in progress. Starts out fixing the dimples and comes in and decides to rip the fridge out... Classic. Maybe a solar set up for a small fridge, park it in a corner, stick it under a seat... With the solar and a battery you should be good to go with minimal ongoing cost and still manage to have those essential cold beers... Good video mate, love the wrap up. See ya on the next one... ;-}
Yeah man, it always goes like that... so funny.
Get a 12v Dometic portable 50L fridge and solar setup. Will run on one car sized battery and a small 50w solar panel.
Yep, I had one in my motorhome, it survived 9 years of neglect living on the coast.
Sailing Into Freedom also sails without a fridge. Or did. His new boat came with one and I don't remember if he ever tore it out or not. I think the four of you would get along well.
Hope you guys get a new dingy soon fingers crossed. Yamaha Enduro are one of the best. I think that guy was asking too much for the 2.5 hp four stroke. I just picked up Suzuki 2016 2.5 four stroke for $390.00 but was in Florida. Smallest Yamaha Enduro 2 stroke is 8 hp I think but the should be cheaper in South America and last forever. I had a 15 hp Enduro and a 9 foot rib AB dingy. Was awesome never let me down and could go 30 mph in flat seas. Keep looking something will come up. Good Luck with dingy and fridge. Boat always something to fix or need. Great Channel. Cheers!
thanks
You two win the contest for most handsome and beautiful sailors!
Funny video! My GE refrigerator crapped out, and I went without a fridge for 2 months. It SUCKS not having a refrigerator! And I live 5 minutes from a Walmart, so being out at sea without a fridge is going to Triple suck. You need to get a fridge, maybe just get a small electric one that is more efficient and you can power with solar.
True inspiration!
Bought 2 shirts!
Break it & Sail it! Awesome! You two rock! Carry on!
I love you guys. You are absolutely crazy. Keep it up forever!
Hey buddies, always enjoy your vids, thank you.
You guys crack me up!
hehe, Ariosto is involved in everything in Bahía ;). Paddling in that current for sure was quite the challenge...Was trying to see if I can see Karl in your video, but I think he was not there, yet, when you filmed this.
Greetings over to French Polynesia,
Nike
your right . fridge is useless ,throw a box with holes in it .fill it full of beer 200ft of line ,thats cool enough . dinghy annoying ,scirting board wood used in flooring wall contact its thin enough to bend to the shape of the sides of the dingy then brace at square end cross pieces seats . greatly appreciate your exp and videos.hope u dont mind this r and r. never been on a small boat in my life . once again thanks
Good luck guys!!! Cold beer is a must!!! Hang in there!!! Enjoy your videos!!!🤣🤣🤣
Kim didn't seem excited about getting rid of the fridge. James is just pissy, because he wants some cereal and his milk went bad. Lol.
Aww, a little you size station.❤️❤️
I don't know what kind of rv shops are where you are at but get yourself a fridge that runs on 12 volt, or 12 v / propane.You generate plenty of power with your solar and motor for a 12 v fridge.
You guys Rock!
I think Sailing Uma made a fridge under one of their seats with foam sheets and some little Euro refrigerator thingie. Just looked it up, they used a Keco Eco cooler, which is no longer for sale.
hey guys hope shes feeling better after those shots ,,,safe voyage to you both love your vids May God keep you safe and wind in your sail,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,UP
The struggle is real James.
I'm catching up on the last couple of weeks. good job guys.
Love you guys . Your vids are Awesome
There’s some coolers that are 12v , maybe a solar setup to run it. You need cold beer
You need cold beer
just for reference: I have a Dometic CoolFreeze CF 26, my 180W solar panel is plenty to power it even on bad days
Ummmmm Cold Beer!!!
Get a Dometic fridge like Ran did.
Another curse filled awesome episode!
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 🍻
HAck saw that fridge into pieces...LOL
Get a one of those electric ice chests that can run on solar.
I got an Idea!!! Remember Office Space and the Printers!!
Should dub in that sweet metal riff whilst your emptying the fridge...lol!
Sack off the beer!!! Get stuck into rum! Bourbon! Tequila 😜👍😂
Great video
I love the fridge meltdown. Get a good an esky or cool box or what ever you call them.
Hey guys, I’ve looked into refrigerators a bit and it seems like they’re all 24-60 ah per day for most boats depending on insulation/ventilation etc. mostly Isotherm, however there are more efficient refrigerators out there. Sunfrost claims to be the best, but some of the forums I read asserted that they’re full of it.
It is simple you can buy a fridge or freezer that runs on electric that can fit anywhere. Now lets say your very old tired boat thing has no generator there are fridges and freezers that run off batteries and they can be charged by your engine or solar panels. Then to save even more power and money have the new LED lights for the same watt in power they use a quarter of energy. There are so many things you can do using little amounts of money
The Health Ministry watched RUclips. You guys will be in quarantine for a whole year!
Guy's, I'm my dream I see you on the new CAT with more space, cruising with your friends some times ... That's what I like to see..
Just bought a t-shirt, I am one of the cool kids now!
Cool kid’s club +1!!!!!
Finally reopened. I think there is going to be a bunch of us.
+2!
Got mine a while ago Love it
I get compliments on mine, I tell them the mermaid is my main squeeze!
Are used to get color shots all the time in the Navy. Plus a lot more shots while in the Navy all free all hurt
A lot of boaters are getting away from propane and going electric for cooktop, etc. You’ll need more solar and batteries though
Kim has a nice Chest....I meant Build an Ice Chest.
50k subs.... btw your shirts are awesome
I’m on a weight sensitive trimaran. I need s very light dinghy that will plane. I’ve settled on the Highfield UL 240. An amuminim RIB around 80 lbs. 5hp will get it moving
you should of drilled a few holes in the back of the fridge and put a electric cold plate in it. foamed it back air tight
There’s nothing like a German girl! Been married to my Heidi for 30 years! Smart man Janes!
get one of those cooler sized fridges.
Just ordered a t-shirt. Hope you guys can buy a beer or a quart of cold milk in your next port.
Alrright james you r back..I like that...:) just take the faking fridge apart with an axe and don't destroy your boat..I did same thing on mine had similar shi..fridge t care panas enjoy the south pacific ! Later, nice FLAG by way...:) encebollado rules here!..from 9 to noon..
they have fridges that are 12 volts and look like a ice chest would be perfect for the spot you showed
When I was in a little town in Costa Rica, wandering through the market, I see these strange vegetables...so I ask the person selling them if they are any good...haha...sometimes I'm a little too trusting...
etejour courage capetin amigo Nice..😍⛵🌴🎉👍
Get a Engel refer/freezer cooler its 12V/110 and work great in warm climates draws very little on the battery.
I'm running a 240v fridge off the inverter on 500w solar. I did have 1000w but didn't need that much so sold two panels and spent the money on a new handheld radio.
I'm in the UK with shit weather, I'd guess you would get away with much less in brighter parts of the world
in many countries health care is a human right.. i mean when i had a vascectomy my largest expense was parking. it's worth it for them to pay something to ensure noone gets an easily preventable disease as crazy as that seems to someone from the US. I'm not hating on the US btw I have family there, have lived there and love visiting.. it's just not the best way to organize a national health care strategy
Vasectomies are not a human right
@@thegeminiguy1065 cool story that wasnt the point.
@@kennediens How was the vasectomy, did it hurt much?
Guys, get wall-powered mug coolers for your beers. I'd go without the fridge... One less errand.
4:44 What did I miss? You tell `em Kimmei
😂same here kimmei, you tell him
She clearly understands the use of the F Bomb lol.
I love it when she talks dirty. bwahaha
Let's get rid of that fuckin fridge then, damnit!😆 🤙 Love it! Y'all are crazy!
There are refrigerators units for boats that build in which are not bad!
I am struggling with Staples popping through the deck of my 1983 Searunner 37 trimaran.....lots of fun, eh?
Yellow F shots are free pretty much everywhere there is a risk.
that refrigerator can be converted 12/24 volt with compressor type cooler. let me know if you want more info.
Funny ending. F propane on a boat. Squeeze in a few more solar panels and cook and refrigerate electric.
12 v fridge is the way to go
Capitania de Puerto I believe is Port Master
Eso es , ensebollado de pescado ....ummmmmmmmm extraño esa comida....
I have a 12v fridge running off solar, uses only 40w and total 400watts per day.
My girlfriend thinks your girlfriend is to young for you. I told her , she is old enough to know what she is doing. You da man!!!
James you have to make Kimmie an Mr cold beer happy. Buy an electric batterie powered fridge.
What a beautiful girl! She is becoming a gorgeous woman! Your handsome too El Capitan.
Just make an ice box! Everybody has ice!
Port Authority. :)
AUUGHGH...I have to wait for the next video to find out how the fridge gets off the boat? I will wait if I must.
Dude......you 2.....put together a plan for 2 large lithium 12v(1 in either Hull) another few panels and a torqueedo. Make it a separate goal.....lets go! You know the deal. Go full electric.....walk the talk.
If it's not cold American beer is skunk piss when it's warm. Now Canadian beer or Heineken is the way to go.
2 of us:)
