Hey Guys, We found your channel when we were looking for videos about Spanish Wells for our trip in January 2024. We found your video with Spanish Wells in the title, only after did we figure out that there was more than one video there. We have been slowly watching from the beginning. We really enjoy watching your videos. You guys are inspirational with how you are living your lives. The way you Parker explain what you are fixing or working is super clear, I have understood all except for making the halyards, but that's on me. We have bought some of the products you have, like Katy's Tifosi sunglasses. It's great seeing two nice people doing what they love and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Hey guys, great stuff, you should read up on you engine manual on the process of how you remove the water from the separation bowl, it should be done every 50 hrs on most motors, what you did in the end was needed, but you should check your engine manual and understand why, its about a 45 minute read, and like you said your boat has great access to the systems you need and it can be done easily. "when water and dirt are mixed in with the fuel, it becomes impossible for the fuel injection pump and the fuel injection vales to work, When there is a lot of liquid collected in the oil/water separator, at the bottom of the fuel filter, the fuel filter alarm lamp with light up" Cruising down from San Francisco to Costa Rica, I hope to run into you guys on the way :) Cheers :)
Nice video. Smooth overnight sail followed by a review of the check in process and a great demonstration of fuel filter maintenance (preventative for sure)!
that engine looks great, very clean, date labels everywhere.. looks like you might have a little wiring management to do at some point but I would be so proud of that engine bay!
Fuel polishing is pumping fuel from one tank, through a filter and water separator, and into another tank. Since we have two side by side tanks on Boundless, it would be possible to set up something like that. But the problem is, if both tanks are full, I would need a third to pump the fuel into after polishing. I've seen some people install a small capacity "day tank" that the polished fuel is pumped into, and the engine runs only from that smaller tank. As the day tank gets used up, you polish more fuel from the larger tanks into it.
@@Boundless_Adventure if you have fuel gauges on the tanks, you can run them to just under 50% capacity, and then polish from one to the other, filling first one tank with half the other, and then filling the now empty tank with the full one.
Great video guys and some great sailing to Costa Rica, I'm following you from here in NZ and I didn't realize this video was already here so if you check your previous video I introduced myself to you and passed compliments on your efforts, you and Katie make in my opinion an excellent young couple setting out on your adventures 😊😊🇳🇿
Greetings from Spain !! Can yo tell us what are the most common problems with the "paperwork" ( flag,.... registry under your name, etc ..) related to the purchase of a yacht at Panama ? NIce serie !! Good winds !!
I was thinking Cruiser friendly meant, safe for Cruisers? $40 to park a dingy reflects the buying power of the dollar? I would probably be hitching a ride or just getting dropped off if money was tight. I wonder if resident sailors are subjected to the same.
@@grancitodos7318 That would discourage me. I would be looking for a provision delivery for sure. You don't hear about those insane cost on yt regularly.
@@Useless_Knowledge07 The price was $150 at Ebow key, Hope Town, to just pick up a passenger from the Abaco Beach resort and marina, They went and picked her up free at the ferry terminal, instead. This is from Sailing Doodles 7 days ago, acassionally he gives marina and mooring prices.
@@grancitodos7318 review.. Easy docking, nice dock, NO dockhand! Charged $55 to dock for 2 hours with no assistance, no supplies... It's a hard life living in paradise if you need fuel, water, provisions..Makes sense to be a creator for sure.. write offs/cost of doing business. $150 for dingy, or $55 for 2 hours docking. What can you get done in 2 hours when you need to walk a ways for provisions? If shopping for a family, geese.. These creators really do need subscribers/patreon/donations to pay for that dream, hence when they say they couldn't be doing it without them.
Hey guys I’ve seen the green flash. I was sitting on a pier at sunset, when suddenly a guy butt naked, wearing a green ball cap ran by me. That counts , right? Lmao 🤠
Did. You tell Costa Rica government where to go it should be free to go in to a country you going to spend money in there country that should be enough
Being candid, I am interested in this life for my retirement. Pointing the camera at your face and speaking for minutes at a time, while you could be showing us the ocean, the boat and other things, is like watching someone produce a radio show. If you must not show us what you are seeing, can it be her more often? Thank you.
@@SV-Mig Man, when these youtubers start pointing the cameras at their faces I start to lose interest. They are not tv producers, this isn't radio. It's like a therapy session for them. Especially when they say things like "You should see how beautiful it is here" If you turn the camera around we can. A Channel 'My Fist Boat', this guy is great. He fixes his boats, he doesn't tell you about it first. He is fixing the boat with cameras pointed at him working, not his face talking. Any words are voiced over, not talking while he's working. He explains it with chill music in the back. Not trying to be Hemmingway. Some of these youtubers go on and on about what they are going to do? It's a video, show us! lol. Anyway...I'm jealous, I wish I were on a boat. I won't be youtubing. lol.
Glad you could check in for a reasonable fee. Don't expect the same going to the Galapagos Islands. A cursing permit is $1,800-2,000 for a 30 day, 5 inhabited ports cost of the Galapagos Islands. WTF are these tarted people thinking? Be happy, be safe

Great maintenance and site. Many of us viewers have sailed in the past and you bring back memories. Good luck in the future.
Ok, I took the plunge and I am now a Patreon! Might as well . I am always looking forward to see the next episode.
that engine looks great, very clean, date labels everywhere.. looks like you might have a little wiring management to do at some point but I would be so proud of that engine bay!
I have heard that Costa Rica has the most restrictions and govt. papers making it less likely a stop for many cruisers. Their reputation is building.
Look at it this way, your hitchhiker is just “showering”you with good luck!!
Bleeding the fuel line on a new (to you) engine is always fun. Your engine looks spotless. I’ve seen and worked on far worse.
Great maintenance work. Thanks for sharing your experience. Costa Rica is awesome inland also.
Very stylish Pompadour.
Hey Parker! Looking good. Can you explain what fuel polishing means and what it entails?
Fuel polishing is pumping fuel from one tank, through a filter and water separator, and into another tank.

But the problem is, if both tanks are full, I would need a third to pump the fuel into after polishing.

thanks for sharing your adventure! )
cant wait for the Solo sailing part finally
Wow Sailor great episode ❤
Good one Katy “Traveling through time…”
Hey Parker, loving your new ‘Lionel Blair’ haircut!
Thank you
Enjoy Costa Rica. Cheers!
Thank you , amazing video 🙌
dirty fuel is one of main problems,,, fuel polishing is a good idea ........ 👍⛵👍
I listened when your electric pomp was running. It sounds like it is a diaphragm pump and it sounds like it's operating properly.
Three of my vehicles have piston fuel pumps and they sound the same as his.

I was waiting for the saying “ take care of your shit and your shit will take care of you”. Hoping a wonderful time in Costa Rica “ Pura Vida”❤

Good winds !!
So what kind of inspection is it? Do they search every crack and crevice in your boat with a drug dog?
Perhaps the bird thought your solar panels were the poop deck.
Nice job lucky no air
Maybe a oil change also. :)

It reflects how greedy the owners are, or in some places like the Bahamas, the $140 for dinghy parking is likely to discourage people.

Hey guys
I’ve seen the green flash.
I was sitting on a pier at sunset, when suddenly a guy butt naked, wearing a green ball cap ran by me.
That counts , right?
Lmao 🤠
Punta Burica

if you ever want to change your channel name, we have a 1966 Allied Seawind 30 and would like to have it???
Costa pika looks nice. is that where Pikachu is from.... (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥
interesting daddy-babygirl dynamic tho...
Wow! Bird butt really had some bowel issues! That’s a lot of poo💩
My trick question is: u$d 1000 or 1000 colones? If they charged you the first, THEY ARE THIEVES.
😡

Not interested in boat maintenance in detail.
Costa Rica is not Cruiser friendly....$40.00 to use any Dingy Dock...20 minutes or 8 hours!
