Please, please, please, do no ever stop making these videos. You guys had me at "Hola"... P.s. I love your "new" boat. Well..., to be correct, I love all Nordhavn's..
James in no way shouldn't blame himself for the shaft issue at all. I doubt the machinist that quit didn't even look at it. Shit happens and I know that from being in the trucking industry for almost 25 yrs. James will getting my business in the near future. Love your channnel!!
I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been working thru the shaft issues. I'm happy to see you in San Francisco, on your way south. I'm sure that you're aware that a s**t day on a boat whether in the water or on the hard is better than the best day landlocked as I am. looking forward to the next installment.
It was definitely a stressful saga, but so worth it to be back in the water! And we have to remind ourselves how lucky we really are! Another episode coming soon!
So happy you are on the way. I know it took longer, but you have the peace of mind. I am curious, what kind of chairs are you sitting in at the helm? Looks like camping chairs, around the firepit? Cannot wait to see the upcoming videos and your trip. Take care and be safe....
Thanks! 😂Awe ‘the chairs’- welp 2 months ago we ordered new STIDD chairs- they ended up taking way longer than anticipated. So, just before we left Washington, we bought these tall camping chairs! They work fine in calm seas- not so much in big swells. I may have tipped over once or twice 😅 Still waiting on our STIDD chairs!
Ha Ha - right? We ordered STIDD chairs 2 months ago...they shipped them this week. So tall director's chairs it was! Hopefully the rest of the cruise to Mexico we will have real chairs!
Boat, we all learn every day, and like James say even after all those years we still learning and have big lesson and some time on basic like control coupling on shaft before putting back. Even with deep knowledge we can fall into the trap. This type of boat need lot of passion and patience. NO ETA was the right name with all this shaft Saga 🤣🤣 Nice job every one
I’m having two shafts checked. The boat went through a hurricane and ended up on the sidewalk from storm surge. I’m having both shafts checked. Can I ask what the shop charged to check just the shaft? Fortunate,h we had two spare props and on spare shaft. I enjoyed the episode.
Yikes!! Good luck! Not sure on the actual cost of the prop shop as they discounted their service since it was such a nightmare. I hope all goes well for you!
Sounds like the prop repair facility is in Tacoma? I also gathered you aren't naming the shop which I understand. My point is when you say, "the prop shop" it's not actually The Prop Shop in Mukilto? Safe travels!
@@davidevans8357 Good point! No- it’s NOT in Mukiltio- I didn’t know that was the name of an actual business. I’ll see if I can add a note on the video or description to clarify. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great video, great to see you guys are back out there. Thanks to James for explaining the shaft situation. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thanks 👍 He always has words of wisdom!

Awww- thanks! We really appreciate hearing that! We’ve got more coming!
The third time was the charm unfortunately. Glad you are in the water and moving along!
It was!! But so glad we got it done right.
Mr Knight, you are a true gentleman.
@@markstaniland7655 He really is!

@@Genxtrucker72 Exactly! And we don’t blame him at all- the guy didn’t do his job! Thanks for watching!

Great episode! If you're back in town and want to go to a game, let me know!

Love the helm chairs
