So nice to see you scrambling around our "neighborhood". Guaymas, (why muss) is awesome. Thanks for saying nice things about the beauty of the place. Hope to see you all soon. Our boat is moored at Marina Real in San Carlos. Thanks for posting great stuff with highest quality video, and sound!
It's sad that you guys don't have the 200K subscribers and 300K views for your videos as you two (3 when Sean is on) are the best. Love your videos and always give the thumbs up, wish I could afford to be a paetron, maybe one day but i am a poor sailor myself and i don't get any youtube money.
Did Sean replace the fishing rods and reels he let the fish take because he didn't tie them to the boat last season ? If you ever replace batteries again, consider " firefly oasis" carbon foam batteries. Check out the RUclips videos about them. The picture quality of the video looks better than ever. New camera or my imagination? Looks great, extra crispy.
Hey guys, just wondering what air compressor you have on board and how you power it? We are planning on buying one for our boat and just trying to get some tips! Cheers, S/V Angel Wing. Love your vids!
We have a Nuvair 35, based on the MCH-6 compressor. Its been solid, we picked it up from the builder in Oxnard Ca and saved a lot that way. They gave us a great deal on the compressor (%20 off) and a heavy discount on all of the spares and filter we bought. We still ended up paying around $4000 with tax, but we have enough spares for 5000hrs of use!
How much were the 'C954 aluminum bronze' chainplates? I'm very new and learning a lot from people like you. Never heard of those so I did some research and found an interesting (to me) 'thread' on Brion Toss's "spartalk" site: "Douglas and others, Hello all, onlinemetals.com offers Aluminum Bronze, alloy C95400, in 3/8"x2" and 1.5". The total cost for all of the bronze I need (12ft of 2", 6ft of 1.5") would be about $300. I have seen people say that aluminum nickle bronze and silicon bronze are good choices for use as chainplates. However, I'm not sure about "aluminum bronze". It's specifications are thus: Aluminum Bronze, C954 Minimum Properties Ultimate Tensile Strength, psi 85,000 Yield Strength, psi 32,000 Elongation in 2" 12% Brinell Hardness 170 Chemistry Copper (Cu) 83.0% min Iron (Fe) 3.0 - 5.0% Aluminum (Al) 10.0 - 11.5% As opposed to silicon bronze: Silicon Bronze, C655 Minimum Properties Ultimate Tensile Strength, psi 85,000 Yield Strength, psi 55,000 Elongation in 2" 20% Rockwell Hardness B90 Chemistry Copper (Cu) 97.0% min Iron (Fe) 0.8% max Manganese (Mn) 1.5% max Nickel (Ni) 0.6% max Lead (Pb) 0.5% max Silicon (Si) 2.8 - 3.8% Zinc (Zn) 1.5% max Does anyone have experience using aluminum bronze; I want to make sure it is a strong enough metal. I'm not sure if "32,000 psi" for yield strength is enough compared to silicon bronze's "55,000 psi". I have found sources for aluminum nickle and silicon bronze sheet, but the total cost is near or above $1000, and I'd still have to cut it, so if this "aluminum bronze" is acceptable, it would be nice!

I think we paid just under $400 form online metals for all of it, I think we got 20% off with a promo code and got free shipping as well. There are a few WS32 blogs with guys using C954 to replace the stainless. We have been very happy so far after a year of use, still look new!
Fantastic colours in the aerial shots in Mexico! Great story too.
It's always nice when she goes back in the water.
Sunset drone footage is WOW !!!
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Really beautiful drone footage. Very sharp and colorful.
Thanks for the drone footage - I got to see my boat!

Thank you for watching! Had fun while we where there!
Another super video. Thanks
Nice boat!
Great to see you guys back at the boat and looking forward to seeing you back on the water
That’s what brothers are for! “Pack mules “
Love to see these! It really shows what you go through readying the boat in Mexico, which those of us heading south like to know.
Always good to see the family in these videos Sis!
best sailing blog on youtube,, thanks...
Lovely as always!
Great video as always!

Like always it is another great video, I agree with another comment I bet the ice got you, just means mix more alcohol to kill the bugs!
My favourite Wookie is back
Yay! More vids!
Where are the inner chain plates?
External chainplates are SO SEXY!!!
Aye--in this same video they had gotten brand new internals!

what kind of grounding kit did you talk of, as I was interested in it for our next boat....hate those darn zincs
We went with a Kiss system, simple, cheap and easy to install.
Bad ice?
Just wondering what brand of bottom paint did you use?
We use Pettit Trinidad 75 Professional.

Are you guys a year behind in posting videos? You were in Polynesia (?) on another channel last week... NP, just curious.
