Glad to have narration by Emma.
Vinegar is good for stings, used for BlueBottle (Portuguese man of War)stings down here in Australia
And this is why prop cutters come in handy.
Thank you for this week's video.
So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! 🌋🍹🥂
One day hopefully, just have to work it into the budget!
Good job clearing that tangle on the prop. Not fun with jellyfish stinging. Brave Captain Teal. Back on duty! God Bless, 🐻🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Listening to the water is so relaxing. Enjoy your stop.
you need to get a harness to attach the hose to. It don't take much to rip the second stage out of your mouth. It also prevents excessive biting on the mouth piece bits, so you dont have to replace them all the time. get a filter system for it also. A BC (buoyancy compensator) is good to attach the hose to and also attach weights to get down
Nice work fixing your little snag. That's a great deal on the hookah rig. I'm on Chesapeake Bay. If I have to dive in the summer a Lycra skin suit protects from the Sea Nettles.
Being positive here about the line.. you saved a turtle.❤
Maybe two! 🤞
The weather and scenery look fabulous. Too bad about the fouled prop. Happy that it was cleared successfully. Too bad about the jellyfish. Happy it wasn't the big ones. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Everyone wants to be the Captain until there is Captain stuff to do. Lol
Nice job Teal. 😊
Most awaited youtube episode every friday night... ❤❤❤
Yes yes yes!
That's a really sweet deal that you got on that dive equipment. I hope that you go over what it is as I've never seen one like that before.
Excellent video as always guys,I do look forward to seeing them, thanks so much 💕✨🫡
Our pleasure!
So glad you got a hook for yourself. Too bad for the jellyfish all around. I hope you recovered fast.
I had an interesting fouled prop. Motor sailing yesterday arvo. Then, the port engine lost propulsion, and made a funny noise. I'm lucky I have outboards and can Tilt up out of water.
A big sea snake caught on prop. Crazy😮
Wow a sea snake?! Cool and scary at the same time.
Teal, you now need to install a line cutter on the props. Delos installed it on there sailboat because they kept getting a fouled propeller.
We would love to one day, just have to work it into the budget. We have crunched the numbers and to make it work on our Yanmar SD20 saildrive/Kiwi prop combination is expensive. In addition to the cutters themselves we would have to install custom spacers and split collar zincs. Not impossible, just costly and hard to source outside of the US.
We installed a small viewing port adjacent to our propellor - as we did a lot of coastal cruising it really proved it’s worth in assessing entanglements and planning their removal. We did have to make a conscious effort to keep it clean however …
safe travels
Thanks Robin!
Teal's arm looks like it healing up pretty good.
Having a total de javu moment with the entanglement issue...
Another job well done captain, and enjoyable video. Teal, might be a little easier to film and work with two hands if you had a head harness to hold the GoPro 🤔😉. Stay safe and healthy ⛵️🇺🇸
We had a bit of technical difficulty with those shots. We actually filmed 10 minutes of video but only had about 35 seconds of usable footage. We are still learning...sorry!
I'm looking forward to your new adventures that you find in a new place.
Us too!
Teal, I hope your stings didn't hurt 4 long! Safe travels ❤
Only a few hours.
Always something never stops
glad u guys are having fun
I voted for both videos you were nominated for.
Thank you so much Bill! We love you!
Thank you for your kind words, and you can have my Bud Light.
In case you don't remember this bit of dry humor is a reference to vintage " Bud Light " TV ads.

For jelly stings, wipe down with vinegar.
Looks like the arm is healing up good. The hooka is great for boat work! Time to invest in a full suit skin to get past the jellyfish.
Donate for a Dream
Great video 👏 👏 👏
Hi Guys! How about investing in lycra full body suits and hoodies for those stingy water bugs? Run between $30 bucks on up, all I ever used in warm waters, easy on off, and comfy. 😀
It's on the list!
Well, at least the issue was not the hydraulic steering! Sharp eye there, Emma!
Leave it up to Teal to find a silver lining while getting stung by jellyfish 🐙
Hey, that was a perfectly good hook! 😉
Taking 1 for the team.
great episode
Use vinegar on Jellyfish stings helps kill the stings let it dry on then wash it off with fresh water.
Good episode......maybe the jellies were keeping the people off the beach.....
Lol, I think they wanted to check out our boat since it seem to be all funneled around just us.
Adolfs Meat Tenderizer, rubbed on the area stung by jelly fish, stops the sting instantly. Always carried it on our boat back in the day. The active ingredient Bromeliad is the secret.
Say Hi to Andy Dufrane and Red!
As someone who has captained boats around RI, I've definitely gotten rope caught up in props. You are so lucky it was just fishing line. Usually it's ancient rope from lobster pots that is drifting below the surface. so it could easily tear a seal on the stuffing box. That said, I'm surprised it was such a big deal, implying that it hasn't happened before. Maybe it's an east-coast thing? But this is a once-a-year issue for most boats that go out on the regular.
We have sailed the entire west coast of the US and Mexico and Have had one person on watch at all times. This was definitely not our first and certainly not our our last encounter. The west coast is riddled with crab pots in the north and as you travel south you will see hundreds of fish traps, lobster pots, and long lines daily. In Mexico the markers will be anything from a legitimate buoy with flagging to a clear coke bottle that is nearly invisible. Most of the time it's the coke bottle.
@@OnboardLifestyle Yikes! Yeah, it was always out job as kids to be out on the bow to look for sub-surface pots that were long forgotten by the original people who set them. Then when we got older, we'd swim down and cut them off the props if we failed to see them.
Probably keep the Captain for now mateys!
Was the reason not to put on a wet or dry suit because it is difficult to get into one?
Thanks guys, although i think i missed an episode.. 🤔.
No problem, plenty of time to binge later! 😉
Now if this was the RUclips version of " Sweeps week " this video would have gone viral
if for some reason the only way to do this was while you were underway. SV Basik volunteer would secure to a cleat
at the bow and gradually be winched to the rear of thehull with the fouled sail drive. They would be wearing full face
mask with internal LED lights so we can see her and speak to her. Yes, it was Linh who volunteered for this dangerous
maneuver. For her own reasons she chose to wear the same outfit worn by Jacqueline Bisset in the
1977 film " The Deep " in her underwater scenes .
Linh did it for the team and the views and because she knows she can pull it off with class.
Oh and the reason they have to keep going full speed on the Starboard engine is because they are being pursued by a pod of angry Orca killer whales. Apparently some viewer ( Me ) suggested dropping waterproof
firework explosives over the side to run them off. It only served to enrage them.
The wetsuit goes a long way in protecting from jellyfish but bare feet, legs and head ! well !!!!!!!
Did the guys from The Shawshank Redemption finish their boat yet?
Teal helped them finish with a little thickened epoxy. 😝
Great work freeing your prop - just wondering if it's worth investing in some line cutters for your props?

In addition to the cutters themselves we would have to install custom spacers and split collar zincs. Not impossible, just costly and hard to source outside of the US.
Make sure to say hi to Mr Andy Dufresne if you please while your there! 😉
I was about to say you need a .....then you said get out the dive hookah. I'm surprised more live aboards don't carry one. They seem super useful for checking and cleaning the hull. And what you used them for.
You are right about that. This one in particular works great for Emma and I. Teal has to take shallow breaths for it to work for him. Overall, we are so happy to have it onboard.
Wow, only 7 hours since this video was released and already over 6.4 k views and 1.4 k likes.
I put it towards word spreading there was an angry Booby in this video. haha.
That......or you are all just awesome RUclips Rockstars.
Hey Onboard crew! We've been watching you since we lived aboard our sailboat in Gulfport, FL in 2020. Long story short, we sold the sailboat and moved to Zihuatanejo. We just watched your episode that you're on your way here. Is that real time, or delayed video?
Sorry, a bit delayed. We are in Chiapas on the Mexico/Guatemala border right now.
Thanks!
👍🏽
Great job Captain. Does Benadryl work on jelly fish stings?
It does, but make us sleepy. Lol
Don't go overboard without a lifeline attached to you teal.. anything can happen from an allergic reaction to whatever ..you had air here to breathe but just think of the what ifs and nots. I'd say , by the looks of things , your lucky crew is enjoying the good life quite more immensely than you in paradise since they didn't have to deal with any jellyfish.. just think about safety first everytime anyone has to go overboard and I'll feel way better next time... The whole idea is to know you are having as much fun as ever while staying as safe as possible in the ocean 🌊 for as long as you're on this once in a lifetime vacation (.even if you do get stung by a little jellyfish or two) . it's those bigger ones that pack a punch you gotta look out for or a sea snake..at least those little boobies arent gonna get you 🐍.. lol.. take care , glad everyone including little compass is well. ....till next time !
🧿👍

Is there a reason you do not have line cutters on your props?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize that being you have sail drives and not just straight props it would be that complicated or expensive a modification.
Having the little " Hookah Breather " is a great convenience. It must be great to use when cleaning the hulls as well. If this is Linh have you ever thought of putting on a splash of perfume while Teal is using the Hookah and wafting your scent into the air intake, Hehe.
Excellent show Basic Crew! I do notice that after 3 hours of posting, you have over 662 thumbs up! You are enjoying the sail and doing things right! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for following our adventures Ed! Cheers!
Any chance of running into Ellis or Andy when you’re there?
I had to do a double take one day...thought I saw them on the beach! 😉
@@tealgoben1781 wasn’t sure if anyone would get the reference to one of the greatest movies of all time
"Get busy living, or get busy dying"
For jelly fish stings, aren't use suppose to urine to rinse the area that was stung to relieve the pain????
Lol, no! A little vinegar works much better than urine.
@@linhgobenyt Plus it would be a lot less weird.
@genewaddlerandomstuff2122 lol so true! Emma would be traumatized! 😂😂
@@linhgobenyt True story and we don't want that.
You guys never answered my question from an earlier episode, are you planning to do an ocean crossing?
Not this year. We are currently heading south to Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama first.
❤❤❤⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🍷🥃☕️
Was this during Hurricane Hillary?
This was before Hilary.
Just a suggestion...why not purchase a set of headphone walkies-talkies so you don't have to yell instructions helm to bow or to onboard line handlers from the helm when docking or mooring?
We usually use hand signals, but Teal is getting back into the habit of doing both.
The prop thing doesn't sound good at all. 😵
It's the worse feeling when you can't pull it free from above and have to dive on it. We have had some friends who have gotten tangled up with lines and as they are trying to get free, it would pull on their shaft and start taking on water.
@@OnboardLifestyle 😵
A comment for the algorithm.
And a response! 🙏🏼
Just think of the sea creatures you may have sa saved
❤
GOOOO---COMPASS 👍🏻💕🐾🦴
