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
#sailing #boatlife
The boat cost 38000 £
Do you know where i can buy it from ?
@@zahariaminteuan9423you cant
Sure, the 1970s 😆. For real though they come up on the used market from time to time
I must admit you are so positive with Zack. My wife would have been running a round shouting at me 😂😂😂😂
Me and my partner are thinking of buying a boat together in the next couple of years and seeing you guys has given us such a good perspective on it!!! The good and the bad! You guys are always so positive! I can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures!
Thats epic! So glad you can see every side of it. Hopefully see you on the water one day 😊
As others have said, you did really well coming alongside without your engine. I especially liked Becka's continuous positive feedback to Zack while you were manoeuvring. You appear to work very well with each other in stressful situations and that ought to give you confidence that you'll be able to cope with whatever gets thrown at you. It also sounds like you got a fantastic deal on your boat. On the cost of materials etc. You might like to source replacement parts and screws etc. ahead of time so you have time to find the best deals. Which you possibly won't have the opportunity to, when you're away from the UK. This won't take up much room in the boat and if you can take the financial hit now, will save you a lot. I'm about a year away from slipping the lines, so we may bump into each other in an anchorage. I wish you lots of laughs as you travel and I hope that everything you share, helps you build a fabulous relationship :)
I would have probably declared emergency in your situation. At least a PAN PAN. Then you get all the help you need ;-)
Zack and Becka,
This episode is by far your best sailing episode, thus far. You definitely have graduated. Maneuvering and docking a yacht that size, with your limited time of experience, is a milestone. Great Teamwork and an AWESOME JOB.
You both remind me, so much, of Jason and Nikki Wynn. I look forward to every adventure. All the Best.
Cheers!
Faithfully,
James
Thanks so much James, docking is getting easier and easier each time for sure 😊
Thanks for the video guys! You are very inspiring and fun to watch! Always await your videos
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊
That was very good teamwork when walking in without an engine.
Zach concentrated with a reassuring and smiling look and Becka observing.
Consultation at that time was also structured.
In my eyes it went more smoothly than you possibly could have sensed it yourself.
I really enjoy following you as a couple plus the honesty and openness. Greetings from The Netherlands, cheers...
Thanks so much. I think we just clicked into gear so to say! We knew what we had to do and there was no time for anything else! Glad you are enjoying the vids, have a lovely day!
Great video! This was very informative!
Great episode, you learned a lot, remember what I said about you are the captain, you make the decisions, no one is going to come along and make the decisions for you, it looks like you are starting to get it! its all good to be nice and move for a race, but if you cant you cant, don't sweat it, get on a starboard tack and they will get out of your way. Also yes, 2 ways to stop a diesel, fuel or air, air is easier, faster and you don't need to bleed it after. Its great that you are learning these lessons at the start of your journey.
Thanks so much. We are slowly getting there!
Teamwork is the way to make it work and you have shown that big time when solving problems. As for the cost. Live your dreams, education cost and life is an education. All the best to you and Zach, you are doing it right.
It really is! Thanks so much Stephan 😊
Another brilliant update you guys, brilliant watching you both 👍👍 ⛵️
Thanks Stuart! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Love how supportive Becca is of Zach when tensions are high on the boat 6:45 onwards
you guys worked so well together in that situation, well done as not all relationships can work together that smoothly.
You two have an awesome outlook, and seem to find the positive in most situations so look at this as a good real world learning experience. You learned you can actually safely sail into a dock, even when slightly rushed and panicked.
You will be that much more confident sailing into a marina or into and off of Anchor. I try to keep my engine on my small sailboat at idle as an emergency backup, and sail into and out of my anchorage or mooring as often as weather permits to practice.
40+ years of fixing all my own petrol and electric powered devices has also taught me Solenoids and Points of all shapes and sized are finicky and tend to fail at the most inopportune times. Especially in humid and salt spray air rich environments.
You guys should make a jumper or at the very least keep an old plastic or rubber handled screwdriver made of a conductive metal like steel or stainless and keep it in the engine compartment. I keep a unit with a bunch of zip open and closed pouches in it so I can keep spare parts and emergency tools in attached on the inside panel of my engine compartment on my boat. That way you can easily jump the starter solenoid leads in an emergency to try and get the starter to engage.
Thanks so much. We do try to remain optimistic, it can sometimes be hard- we are only human after all, but always realise that the times we look on the brightside, there seems to be less stress and things get done better!
Sailing onto anchor/ a mooring buoy is definitely something we would love to practice in the future- i bet you are a pro at it now!
Good idea about the emergency tools- thanks so much!
thanks for the great video so much for so little the idea of counciling service is a nice one i had CBTa year ago and i find it still affecting me good
look forward to the next one
That’s great news. Glad you enjoyed the vid 😊
Good job Zach. The fear you said you were feeling, never showed on your face. Just determination. A hell of a day! 🥴❤
"you're doing really good Zac"... she's a keeper! Great encouragement and no panic.
Panicking doesn’t help any high pressure situation! Gotta just keep calm and reassure each other 😊
Good Nz morning guys. Finally caught up to the present. There is a cautionary quote that I heard many years ago, and you may have heard it before,....."a boat is a hole in the ocean, into which you pour money." Preventative maintenance is a great habit to get into, which can help reduce the "money pouring" by a certain amount. Simple things like going to your engine room, and tighten up your hose clamps. Yes, they will need it. Anything to do with the sails, masts, winches etc. I love your enthusiasm 😀 and excitement. I just love your channel. I'm glad I subbed to it. Now my mission, is that the right word, is to recommend to a couple of mates, who are still sailing, to check out your channel. Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to upload. From down under, all the best.
Haha yup, that quote definitely resonates with Teulu 🤣 Good idea about the hose clamps- we are trying to go through every bit of the boat to see what needs maintaining to prevent future damage, it sure is a long process!! Glad you are enjoying the channel, thanks for the lovely comment!
I love your vids. Keep them coming!
Thanks Bobby!! Will do 😊
Wow that's an amazing price for your boat ! Well done guys.
Awesome sailing under pressure Zack and Becka, fair play for lugging heavy batteries about under sail!! Great team work! 😎
Thanks Pete, haha they were soo heavy!
Brilliant as usual you two!!!! Love your vids xxx
Thanks Helen! Love you!! Xxx 💗
Well done you guys, on saving and purchasing, you should be very proud of yourselves.
Thanks so much Michael, the £20 food budget a week paid off 🤣
Loved the scene watching Zach sailing in with a huge smile. Absolutely killed it
Thanks so much Tyler 😊
The smiles say it all. Cheers from Canada
So many smiles!
Excellent video. I must admitthat I was one of those wondering who this 'Teulu Tribe' was and I havve therefor missed a few vidoes that I will now catch up on. Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland
Ah, sorry for any confusion! Thanks John 😊
At 7:000 wow! Well done, both of you!!!
Zack and Becka your enthusiasm is infectious and I'm sure all your sailing dreams will come true. I've dived Bonaire on three separate occasions, last time was in January this year and they don't call Bonaire the "Divers paradise" for nothing 😏
Oh cool! Can’t wait to go there!
13:00 cost
Thankyou, i was lookingn for it !
Don't worry we all get caught out with things breaking down on our boat just at the wrong time. Thing is to not panic and just take stock of the situation and do what you did by thinking on the fly. If you are considering going down towards the Antarctic like South Georgia you will definitely need a stronger hull. Stuart
Thanks Stuart, that wouldn't be for a long time yet!
Great teamwork
You did very well on going into port with only sails! Its never easy. Specially not unplanned. Keep us updated on your adventure. Chris
Thanks so much Chris, will do! 😊
I’ve done some sailing courses as I’m learning how to sail my live aboard 42’ sailboat. One of the drills we did was exactly what you guys did, in docking the boat under sail only. But in hindsight, I have not practiced this since. So this episode is a great reminder me, to actually practice some of these things, as they can & do happen in real life.
Thanks for sharing.
I had to sail into port Marstrand, Sweden with my prev 11 meter One Design, when we accidentally dropped the outboard in the ocean 😳 😅
Well done!
Thanks
Becka, you are going to love Bonaire! I've been on more trips to Bonaire than anyplace else. I don't know how to describe it other than to say everything seems so easy there and the diving is wonderful. Another island I think you will like is Dominica, the northernmost of the Windward Islands in the Caribbean. Very cool place with wonderful people and LOTS to do.
Ah, soo excited to go there! Will make sure i add Dominica to the list now, thanks so much for the suggestion 😊
Well done, tip would be to carry jump leads, jump straight to starter motor and hot wire the solenoid. That way you bypass the battery leads and switches, any of which might have failed. Leave the key in on position.
We have actually just bought some for that exact reason- thanks so much!
Nice work docking under sail 👍These are the things that make you real sailors
Awesome job saving up for your boat!
Thanks so much 😊 the hard work paid off (although, now we own a boat, the hard work doesn't stop! 🤣)
All good lessons and congratulations on a successful berthing under sail. The next time someone asks you to move because they want to race, whilst we all do our best to not hinder them, just politely remind them they don’t have any greater right to you being there, even less so if you are having issues. We do take great care negotiating thru racing boats, but are less obliging to those with an attitude.
Thanks so much! It was a little stressful with them right there- I think as our confidence grows, it will become easier for us to tell others those things 😊
Them, "We want to race."
Perfect reply, "That's racist."
Well Said. I ran into that "attitude just as I was about to start doing some Racing, then the 1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy Happened and any thought of Racing Sailboats permanently disappeared. I've been Daysailing and Cruising ever since, and no regrets, and don't consider I've missed anything tbh. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍🙂
Totally agree with this, I’d have dropped the hook and put the kettle on. How rude 😂
Lovely informative video, and a different sort of episode 🧐 there are some nosy bug***s asking what you paid and not many of them that asked would have done it without borrowing you really are the dream team x
Haha thanks Paul, you are part of the Team! The dream Teulu!!
look at the smiles im envious
😁
Concerning your table. Pull off your edge trim, sand starting at a 220 grit going up to a 3000-4000 grit. Then use a car buffer and buff to polish then replace your trim. Good as new. Easy Peasy. Be sure to wip off dust between each grit.
Good suggestion, thanks so much!
1. Aldabra in the Seychelles is my dream location.I checked out your manufacturers info, and saw a few others in that brand for sale. Great pilot house boats all in different sizes.
Oo will look that up, even just the name sounds pretty dreamy!
Nice vid guys...love it every bit....hope do get to visit South Georgia....must have a stop in Falklands islands 🇫🇰....loads to see there aswell....I'll be there to make u feel at home...good to learn parts off u engine 😉 its pretty simple once u get a understanding of it....
So glad you enjoyed! Oh wow, bet the Falklands are incredible too! Zachs doing an diesel engine course this weekend so hopefully he learns a thing or two!
@@TeuluTribe awsomen he'll enjoy that....I have a book what is really handy to any sailor...it covers everything thing on a boat it's really handy...anytime need mechanic advice give me bell will happy to help... what's url post address?? ...
Cool as a cucumber bringing the boat alongside there zach.good job captain.
He did SO good!
great job guys
Thanks 😊
Some how I just knew you two were financially wise. What a feeling it must be to be young and OWN your own home. Great job.
It is a lovely feeling! Now the hard work really begins!
@@TeuluTribe and never ends. But hey you two are living the dream. Keep up the hard work because in the long run it's going to pay off and make you great skippers.
Hi Becka, Zach great vlog, really enjoyed it. If u don't mind me helping u, if that happens again find the lever that is attached to the solinoid on the engine, then simply use ur finger to push the lever back inwards and the engine will die. Very easy an safe. Tha cable looks similar to an accelerator cable. The alarm will sound as there's no oil pressure so simply turn key off. Anything with the word MARINE on it, in it around it means $$$ so I get 316 stainless steel stuff or anything really from normal hardware or what we call Bunnings 🤣 Good answer about the cat Becks, u need to just settle first and become one with the boat and the Ocean. Love u both 🇦🇺🌈🌞🌟
Will look for that, thanks so much! Our hardware shops don't have the right stainless steel here, really annoying!! 🤣
Great video. It's all in the details ;-) what mount do you use for your ipad?
Thanks so much! It’s just one from Amazon, it’s called Lamicall Exercise Bike Tablet Holder, Treadmill Exercise Gym Tablet Mount- it’s surprisingly good quality 😊
Well done getting back into marina with engine prob etc cool calm and collected
Thanks John 😊
I love that question "Is it expensive to own a boat?" I mean B.O.A.T. means Break Out Another Thousand.
Look at all the subs you guys have now.. awesome.. jealous and proud
We are quite blown away with how it’s grown! 🙈
Love your journey!!
Do you work while living on the boat or whats the goal for incoming going forward? Thank you!
Thanks Dan! Zach works locally to us and i (Becka) am doing RUclips and Patreon full time but we would love to work together on RUclips in the future!
Finally price revealed good offer guys.
Looking forward to your travel adventure .
Thanks Mark! 😊
Well done with your sailing in to a berth, guys.
Re the engine "shut off" not working, that's an older boat with what I assume to be an equally "older" engine so its very likely that it has a mechanical engine stop which effectively just stops the diesel fuel flow, and which is activated by either turning the key to the off position or by pressing a stop button and which means that the mechanical shut off lever is controlled by a solenoid. (A purely mechanical shut off would entail a wire attached to the fuel shut off lever and accessed from the helm, similarly to how a 'choke' worked in older cars. Afterall, it is just an old tractor engine!)
So, to locate the solenoid adjacent to the engine, when you turn the key to the 'on' position it will make a noise as it moves the lever to open the fuel supply. You already know that it works as you successfully fired up the engine once the loose cable was discovered. If you don't hear a noise when you turn the key to the 'Off' position, and the fuel lever does not move, then you know that you have an electrical problem at the solenoid or the ignition switch. First thing to do is check your fuses as the loose battery connection might have caused a blown fuse, particularly during the 'key-turning ritual' that would have happened as you tried to react to your proximity to the race starting line and the convergence of sail boats, though as the lever moved to open the fuel supply it is half-way working so unlikely to be a fuse. Check it anyway as you are in the process of elimination and you are not likely entirely savvy with the engine electronics. Experienced 'sparkies' usually go straight to the problem, whereas us novices have to go through the process. C'est la vie!
If the fuses are OK, then its time to get the multimeter out and check the earth wires for both the ignition and the solenoid though if the key starts the engine it should stop it too, unless the live wire to the stop position is compromised. Wherever the fault, it is likely only a minor one of a loose wire and finding it is a process of elimination along the engine stop circuit. It's often a bit like "holding your mouth right" have one of you wiggle the wire whilst the other turns the key to the off position is one way to test for a loose connection. I had a similar 'head scratcher' in my L/R Defender until I started the process of elimination.
Good luck, gang!
Hi Jack, wow, thanks so much for your comment, thats so helpful! The engine has only done about 400 hours and it about 5 years old, but maybe it is in the way it functions still. We do have a stop button so i reckon it is like the one you are talking about!
It ended up being the starter cable to the solenoid being loose which also stopped the stop button from working (i guess it creates somewhat of a full circuit but can't if there is an issue with one bit of it).
Have actually noted down everything you said there just 'in case' something like that were to happen again. Thanks again!
@@TeuluTribe Hey, guys...glad to hear that you got it sorted.
I forgot to mention that you can pull the lever across yourself if you need to stop the engine and the switch fails again. You just need to identify it yourself beforehand, wih one of you sitting beside the engine to watch the lever work whilst the other operates the switch.
Cheers!
Great videos guys! Enjoy your adventure!
May I ask how much you invested in repairments and fitting the boat to your needs (including solar panels, rigging etc.). It would be very helpful if you can give me a rough estimate.
Ooo thats a good question- maybe £10000! We will try and figure this out properly and do a video on it in the future. We didn't think it was too much as it was over 6 months but now writing it, thats a lot! Haha
great price for this boat in this condition! Well bought!
Great video
Thanks Harold 😊
You want to go to Paraty!!
Always enjoyable, but don’t let anyone bully you, you have just as much right as they have but be courteous until you don’t need to be courteous. Anyway cheers!
I think as our confidence grows, we will learn to be not so courteous at times! 🤣
Interesting to hear you guys talk about sailing to warmer places since you live in a cooler climate. I live in the tropics and dream of sailing to cooler places 😂
Haha we can't wait to sail somewhere a little less rainy 🤣
Great that you have a sponsor and glad you’ve gone for an ethical partner 🎉😊
Companies morals is definitely important to us 😊
Interesting - you have what looks like your MFD mounted to the helm pedestal loop, but how is it connected? Or, is it simply an iPad on battery?
It’s just an iPad at this point 😊
I found out the Screwfix sell sell stainless steel screws of all different sizes so I bought a load for my Boat really good thing to know so much cheaper
Oh thats really handy to know! Thanks Stephen!
Good on you for buying the boat you could afford, and not succumb to "renting money". There are many cost advantages to not exceeding 12 metres too! In the US Insurance companies dictate where the vessel must be for coverage due to seasonal weather conditions. Finance companies require insurance of their collateral. I have seen many sailors depart on passages in poor conditions, just to be above a prescribed line by a prescribed date.
I am always astounded by complete strangers asking what I paid for my boat ('84 Pearson 385). Besides it not being anyone's business, with older boats condition and equipment dictates price. I usually respond "the current average value for a vessel like this is between $X and $XXXX".
Your boat can take you anywhere a larger boat can, for far less cost, you get the same view.
I look forward to seeing you in Bonaire one day!
Thanks so much Mike. We didn't want to take the risk really! I think people are just curious by nature and if it can help someone out on their 'boat buying adventure', then so be! See you in Bonaire!
You shouldn't have let those racing ponces push you around. You have just as much right as they do to use any public-accessible water you want. It looked like the race marshalls started to get a bit arsey at the end - I would have told them where to go!
Hi, nice video - thanks for sharing the information. Where can I find details/specs of your boat? TY and cheers!
Glad you enjoyed, if you search online you will find specs. Its a 1987 Colvic Victor 41 Ketch
@@TeuluTribe Thank you very much.
17:15 Away with the Ferries? Hm, that sounds quite big :-)
Haha really big!! 😆
Great video,I'm no expert but I think you got a real bargain, all the best to you.
Thanks Robert! 😊
Zack ! Hold your ground on the cat being a no deal. The last thing you two want is a responsibility outside of having fun and the boat 👍🏼🔱💯
Haha he doesn't need to- I (Becka) know its really not right at the moment! Maybe in the far future!
Beginners Luck is a Good Thing…Learning “Plan B” will take some time😜 Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Thanks Steven, yep, plan B's are the harder plans for sure!
Thank you for answering my question 🤣Turkish Vans love water 🌊 Boat cat in the future 😺🤍
Haha ooo will look them up!!!
There has to be a kill switch, and it's really bad to run a diesel out of fuel.
How much confidence do you have coming along side now that you have done it at sail.
A lot more 🤣
Hello from Los Angeles!
Hi!
My claim to fame is I bought a yacht into mayflower with no tiller it broke off out at sea. Best to go to sea and expect the worst
Just a side comment, like to restore your teak decks? Spray with white vinegar and scrub with the grain with coarse brush, hose off, repeat and finish with not so coarse brush. Do a section at a time. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Oo thanks for the recommendation Rod! It’s always nice to be able to use natural products 😊
Have you checked your tappets? And clearances?
It was serviced before we bought it and Zach is servicing the engine again today 😊
Cool
Very impressed sailing on without engine. I am a season sailor and wouldn’t relish that challenge
Thanks Neil- it sure wasn't a pleasant experience 🤣
As a dutch American, I of course speak english but can we get subtitles😁 at times I don’t have a clue what you are talking about
Lots of Pizazzzz indeed. 👏👏👏
Zachs fave!!
How much money do you spend in a month in the boat? Do you have any income now, or have you saved enough to buy a boat, and then have some left to live of of when you travel?
We will try and make a video on our finance in the future 😊
13:00 answer
if it took 30 minutes to kill the engine when removing fuel, try cutting off the fuel after the filter, (or from the fuel pump) the closer to the injector lines, the quicker the stop will be
That’s a good suggestion, thanks
Or could have just removed the O2!
@@jslewis145 true, but stuffing rags into your air intake is pretty intimidating
I sailed out 27’ Hunter into our marina, single handed, which included three 90 degree turns, stopped in front of our slip and pulled the boat in manually. Of course I had the engine on just in case but didn’t need it. Someone yelled, “You can’t do that.” And I yelled back, “I just did.”
Hahaha that made us laugh!! 🤣 very impressive!
Bonaire is no place for a cruising boat. it is set up for the dive industry. there is no anchoring in Bonaire. you must use a mooring ball, which are not that numerous. further, the dive operators have them staked out and therefore make it hard to find an open one. the one marina is small, and adjacent to a highway which often has traffic in the dirt shoulder which in turn blows into the marina. I had to wash down my boat two or three times a week to keep it presentable . there is a decent marine store and several good restaurants. but because it's a major tourist destination the prices are high. it is not uncommon to have two cruise ships in port a day; sometimes three. I've been to almost all the islands in the Caribbean and put Bonaire at or near the bottom of the list of places I would revisit.
Where would you put at the top?
Ah ok, thats a bit annoying! Thanks Bob!
You have a stop selenoid at the engine that shuts off the fuel to the engine that you can manually activate. Best to learn where on the engine that is and next time kill the engine using the shut-off selenoid rather than wait for complete fuel starvation and eliminate having to prime it all over again. Also, it is immediate not 30 minutes later.
Will look for it as sounds like a far easier way- thanks so much!
@@TeuluTribe Next time as you shut the engine, have one of you stand by the engine (usually on the same side as the fuel injection pump) you will see and probably hear a click that happens when the other person at the helm, either turns the ignition key off or presses the Kill button. You should be able to see it.
@@TeuluTribe On diesel engines the fuel shut-off solenoid is usually attached to the injection pump and will have an electrical wire that is connected to the key switch. Very important to keep that wire away from moving parts to prevent an electrical short.
What happened to the dog I saw in earlier videos???? Or was it a family members dog?
❤
9:30 why didnt you guys just disconnect the battery terminals to shut down the engine?
Once the engine is running, it doesn’t use the batteries. It uses fuel and air. The batteries are just used to start the engine
Oh, and by the way, you’re so cool… Why I keep watching 😀
Haha thanks Tom.
You were very sensible not to take a loan. I know interest rates are low but it still needs to be paid. A decision never to take a load and to wait until you have saved enough to pay cash pays off. Everything we own is paid for including the car, and the house was bought for cash, much to our surprise when we added up the money we had in various accounts.
We are really, really happy with our decision 😊 Its better to wait and not be in debt!
How much is your marina charge per foot of vessel
It differs so much depending on how long you stay- its a lot more for visitors than those with annual contracts!
What type of boat is it? Great video - thanks for explaining the name change. Really like Teulu Tribe 👍
It’s a 1987 Colvic Victor Ketch 😊 glad you like the name!
I live 5 mins walk from you, I would love to come and meet you guys! I have recently purchased my first yacht as well!
Oh thats epic. Congrats on the boat- what make and model is it? 😊
Another great video guys. Good choice on a sponsorship. Love your reasons for it.
Here in the United States we are celebrating Independence Day.
Thanks so much David- it did take us a while to decide but happy we went with it. Happy independence day!
Pets on boats are a bit of a worry. I've never had any luck with Cats, even when living down a long track in the middle of a Forest with a busy day being 4 vehicles passing, every Cat I had got Run Over, including my loveky Chocolate Brown Burmese Temple Cat. That was the last Straw for me and Cats tbh. Foreign places plus pets, can be a Downervtoo. plus a lot of dogs seem to barely tolerate boats. My Vizsla was my only dog that truly loved it on a boat, but he basically loved everywhere there were people. He'd get a wrist in his mouth and give a guided tour around the Cockpit pointing to things and chatting away, though couldn't break him from peeing on the Mast - a bit worrying re rusting aluminium. Next boat, I think No Pets, though visitors with Pets will be more than welcome. Visitors Without Pets, Not So Much. 👍🙂😅
Sorry to hear about your cats 😢 We both would love a dog someday, but we don’t know if that day will be when we have a boat.
to stop the engine next time cover the air intake with a t-shirt round your fist it will cut out instantly
We will do this- thanks 😊
