Thanks Darrell! We have boat repairs too, but try not to spend too much time talking about them. We prefer to do the fun stuff not sweaty boat chores. 😝
Here's a tip for you (and Yottis everywhere); Get a huge bottle of silicone / dielectric paste and coat everything electrical or electronic with it. Repeat at every refit or anytime you're digging into electronics. Also, coat your cell phone ports, computer ports, camera + GoPro batteries, remotes of any kind, simply everything electric or electronic. It significantly reduces the corrosion from salty and humid environments!
Since I've retired I've been following sailing chanels for 5 years and you have moved up to my favorite channel. Brooke is an absolute babe and Gary is my favorite captain. Best wishes on your future endeavors, I'll be watching.
Google says, "Stingrays flip upside down because they have blind spots directly behind their eyes so they will sometimes flip over to see. Also some stingrays turn upside down, extend their pectoral fins, then curl their fins above the water, so they look like sharks".
Ding ding ding, that's the answer!! Hahahaha I like your thinking! Yes, definitely stocking up on boat hardware. Seems as though the spares we carry, are never the ones that end up breaking!
Brook, Didn't anyone ever tell you not to put your finger into strange mouths? :) LOLOL Kinda gives new meaning to the term "Just the tip" Muhahaha. Hope it heals fast. Thanks Y'all for another great video.
Make sure that you take good care of your finger, I had something like it my finger was cut like yours and it got very painful, the nerve end are sensitive, it got so bad that I had to go to emergency room, and had to take pain medication to go to sleep, take care.
My finger healed up nicely! We were concerned about infection especially out here with lack of medical care. Sorry to hear about your finger! Hopefully it's all healed up now and not causing you any issues! Thanks for watching, Aiman! 🍻
That was a big lobster that bit your finger. I bet that big lobster tastes good though. The beaches and blue water look beautiful. I saw some weather channel that Barbuda got hit with a hurricane in the last couple of days.
The lobster was big and tasty! Oh no, so sad to hear this about Barbuda. They had a devastating hurricane a few years ago that they are still trying to rebound from.
Yeah, I'm late ! Watched your Pacific crossing and decided to go to Episode 1 and now on 25, watching you eat the lobster that bit off your fingertip ! Ouch ! Your videos are sooooo good ! I miss all that stuff. I spent 20 in the Navy, Puget Sound, sailing my Catalina 30, changing out engine from 1 cylinder gas to 3 cylinder diesel. Then the small quirks that happened. Always inconvenient ! Ha I've dove in Puget Sound, Hood Canal, Hawaii, Phillipines and Thailand. I recommend the two latter. I was an engineer in the Navy, and still addicted to mechanical diddling in spare time. Yeah, I'm addicted to your videos and I'm jealous (haha) and even tho I don't know you, I'm happy for you two ! Living your dream on your terms. Dang............. I would highly recommend Thailand for the food, beaches, diving and cheap thrills. Not sure about the Rum, altho I could surely write a guide on dive bars in the Western Pacific ! Have fun you guys ! As we used to say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu to you both !
Hey there :) Wow, so cool that you decided to go back and watch from the beginning! We really appreciate that and hope you have noticed a difference in not only our editing but also in our abilities as sailors as well. We are happy to hear you are enjoying our channel and we look forward to sharing our future episodes with you. You have been to some amazing place that we also hope to get to one day. The Philippines and Thailand are definitely on our bucket list for diving! Welcome aboard :)
Haha same! I've also decided to watch from the start. I've traded the Netherlands for the Mediterranean a few months ago, but while living 'land life' I'm currently looking for the perfect sailboat to live on with my two kids. Would be so cool to sail with them to some of the amazing places you guys have been.🤍
Dang, that lobster bite was amazing! Learn something new all the time. Note to self: even lobsters without claws can getcha. Btw, you guys rock the fishing. I’ve seen lots of other sailing RUclipsrs try to catch their dinner and no one has results like you guys. And I just looked at the fishing regulations for our nearby lake and they allow spear fishing. I think I may have a new hobby.
Just cover that back up and pretend you didn't see that, Gary.... You could get a can of naval jelly and some red lead and do a complete rebuild, but hey, it's just rust.
Hey Danielle! Unfortunately, I don't think we will be in USVI in May but keep us posted on your travel plans, we'd love to have you onboard sometime! That would be super fun!
Thanks for the video. I just bought my 4th sailboat and am currently working on it to make it sweet. Perhaps I'll see you all out there somewhere after I pick up my girlfriend in Columbia...?
@@SailingOneLife It's a 1981 US Yacht 35 cockpit sailboat. One of ten hulls made it into production in 1981 due to a fire that burnt the plant down. They were sent to Bayliner to be built. They are modeled after the Cooper353"s. Very cool pocket cruiser. Cool. I am probably a month from leaving Texas. Let me know if you need anything from the states before I leave? (443)515-8882
Ouch, as soon as I saw Brooke’s fingertip my mind went directly to the rum...pour a little on the wound and a little in your favorite shot glass 😳🤪. Great video. 👍🇺🇸😎
Does that chain plate have anything other than the stay connected to it? If there is load in a second direction from anything else attached to it? The force in a second direction weakens and loosens the plate and it's seal to keep water out. You're wise to take that corrosion seriously. Of course that plate is probably not alone in needing attention given the age of the vessel.
No, nothing else is connected to the chainplate. The leaking bolts were just in need of rebedding as it probably was done 15+ years ago. The moisture in the bulkhead we found was actually from an old wire-pass through that was poorly sealed. 🤦♂️
I spy future funnel cake supplies. LOL. That beach though...
Flour, sugar and eggs = all we need! 😜
Pinkest sand we've found yet!
So glad I found you guys ,I'm tired of watching other channels always talking about boat repairs.
Thanks Darrell! We have boat repairs too, but try not to spend too much time talking about them. We prefer to do the fun stuff not sweaty boat chores. 😝
Wow, Barbuda looks awesome!! Those sunsets are pretty nice
Thanks, David! Barbuda is breathtakingly beautiful! First time we've ever seen a pink sand beach! 😍
Wow! Looks like Barbuda was full of joy...except for bolts and mean lobsters. Beautiful beaches. Enjoy.
☀️🌴👣🍷
HeyJ.J., thank you! Barbuda was certainly lovely! The lobster bite and the bulkhead issues are just part of the adventure out here!
Omg how beautiful those beaches. Living that dream. Enjoy be safe.
Thank you, Jorge! The pink sand beach was just amazing! Cheers!

Ah interesting, great advice. Thanks for the tip! We will have to try that.

Hey Len! Aw gee thanks! Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel! Gary is my favorite captain too! ⛵😍
You guys are moving up to one of my favorite sailing sites. Keeping it real, thanks
Thanks so much Ed! Hope your having a good week! 🍻
Learning "lobster" lessons !!! 🤣🤣🤣🏐🍦🏉🍺💜
Ooof. Yep learning the hard way. 🦞😂
Gary is a practical yolker
Dane, your cracking me up! 😂
@@SailingOneLife Lol, another egg joke
Awesome video! Thanks guys
Thanks Peter! :)
Looked like the stingray was having a blast
It was so wild!
Big up again mi friend them 💯💯💯💯🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
Right on Rebel! 🇬🇩
Google says, "Stingrays flip upside down because they have blind spots directly behind their eyes so they will sometimes flip over to see. Also some stingrays turn upside down, extend their pectoral fins, then curl their fins above the water, so they look like sharks".
Interesting! We haven't seen another one upside down since.
I guessing the rabid lobster and the stingray were drunk on $8 dollar rum.😁 Great video guys and grab some extra bolts for those unexpected occasions.
Ding ding ding, that's the answer!! Hahahaha I like your thinking!

Thanks, Gibb! Bwahaha, I didn't think a lobbie would bite like that! Oh well at least we had a good dinner!

I’ve been diving for 30+ years Never knew a lobster could do that
I had no idea either! We learn something new every day!
Ouch! Hope you enjoyed that Lobster lol.
We did! Haha 🦞
Crap! I hope your finger healed up okay, Brooke! That's scary!
It is completely healed! No problems! Phew!

The ray was tryna get a tan hahaha
Bwahahah now there is an idea we hadn't thought of!
LOL. That's what Beau said!
@@BeauAndBrandy hahaha great minds ;)
Screw lets go to the beach thats what I'm talking about.
Omg the fact that your finger tip was actually in the glove 😳
Can you believe it?! It was insane! 🦞☝️😬

Thanks, Tim! We put a lot of effort into fishing and spearing, fortunately it has paid off! Spearfishing is a great hobby to get into!
Just cover that back up and pretend you didn't see that, Gary.... You could get a can of naval jelly and some red lead and do a complete rebuild, but hey, it's just rust.
Ha, yeah we didn't see anything! 🙈That's a problem for another day!
Stunning 🏝 Traveling to usvi in may. Would be so cool to come ride with yall!😁
Hey Danielle! Unfortunately, I don't think we will be in USVI in May but keep us posted on your travel plans, we'd love to have you onboard sometime! That would be super fun!
@@SailingOneLife No worries! Will do! Barbuda looks amaaazing! So sorry that damn lobster got your finger! You got your revenge!😁
@@daniellebolner9505 Haha it was so a wild experience for sure! Cheers girl!
Considering all the hassle the bulkhead and chain plate gave you in Mexico, it works out.
Yes, it definitely works out!
Perhaps you stumbled on a stingray that thought it was at a nude beach
A drunk nudist stingray!
Thanks for the video. I just bought my 4th sailboat and am currently working on it to make it sweet. Perhaps I'll see you all out there somewhere after I pick up my girlfriend in Columbia...?
Thanks Dean! What type of sailboat do you have? Haha maybe we will see you in Columbia.....we are headed there for hurricane season!

@@SailingOneLife gotcha. I've been reading up on marine surveying. It's pretty interesting.
Ooook
That's right! Miss you guys!
🙏🏻Ouch!👱🏻♀...
Haha. Not a fun day on One Life but I made it through!
Ouch!
It was pretty painful! 😬🦞
Pretty sure catching lobster in Barbuda is not allowed. Just a heads up.
Ah interesting! We asked at customs and immigration when we checked in and they said it was no problem. Good to know for the future.
