• 14] We Got Stuck at a ...
After hearing horror stories for the duration of our stay on the hard about exiting this canal system in the late winter/spring with a deep draft, we were undoubtedly relieved once the hook was set and we were outside the canal system for good. From our anchorage in Charlotte Harbor, we are awaiting our weather window to head 'south'. No concrete plans, just destinations. And we'll be finishing up projects all along the way. Oh, the joys of boat ownership :)

Hey...we're back on the water. You know you like this. So give the episode a thumbs up :)
Congrats. Glad to see your hard work pay off. Have fun!
congrats!! never did have the chance to stop by for a real hello, but thats life. enjoy the journey and if you ever need a hand travelling back in this direction, just say the word. you've got an open invitation to lay up along my sailboat dock in Cape Coral, anytime. Fair Winds! Capt Bruce
Abandon Comfort always a like and I always watch the ads.
Another thumbs up :) Long time subscriber, look forward to these videos on a Friday evening [here in New Zealand], enjoy watching the progression and looking forward to this being my turn :) Check out my video if you have time, I recently acquired my boat...a 31 footer :)
dont forget to run a solution of rydlyme or barnacle buster through the engine prior to heading away
I love to see how both of you do all the work. Kelsey isn't afraid of the hands-on work, and you two work together well. Good job!
Wish I could find a partner with her work ethic.
More piloting tips: You can set your mast, bow, stern or several point/s of your boat up on any land or sky POV from a star to a point of land or cloud (keep in mind that clouds move). Always check your compass heading at least every 15 minutes and adjust as necessary. ALSO use the sun, shadows (if a shadow moves you are off course), wind on your face and waves (motion and sound/s of your boat etc). When tuned into your boat at sea you will even wake up out of a deep sleep if/when anything changes (the sound of waves hitting the boat to a change in direction etc... ALWAYS be looking around 360. That is your real job when on duty, not reading a book or burried in electronics. Scan your electronics and set all alarms properly. There ya go o----)
PS: Trust your boat yard workers. They know where to place the straps etc because they do it all day every day so don't worry, they have you covered 99.9999% of the time (accidents do happen but not often at any pro yard).
The good news - Happy to see you back in the water ! The bad news - That single battery switch will cause you some day to not have enough battery power to start your engine. Accidentally leaving that switch on ALL, your house power draw will pull from ALL your batteries ! That single battery switch probably doesn't have a Alternator Field disconnect incorporated in it. That momentary switching from 1 or 2 to all or switching from any position to another position while the engine is running and while the alternator is charging might never bite you but it has happened. It will eventually degrade and/or ruin the voltage regulator in the Alternator. It usually blows out the diodes, they can't handle the voltage and amps coming in to them from the wrong direction because as your switching, the alternator output has no where to go and it overloads the voltage regulator.. The switching and the voltage/amp draw from the starter also disrupts your electronics and could damage them. One way to solve this is with three (3) simple on-off switches and a BATTERY COMBINER RELAY, this relay is the key. 1) switch - Engine 2) switch - House 3) switch - parallel (combine) both battery banks in an emergency. The battery combiner relay will handle the charging duties and read when a bank is charged and disconnect it to charge the other bank and the charging device will reduce its charge to that bank as it becomes fully charged. When no charging is present it disconnects both banks from each other. Your solar charger is connected to your house bank I assume (there's that word) and as your house bank is charging once it reaches a fully charged voltage the battery combiner relay will combine both banks to be charged. As you start using power for the house the house batteries will start to drop voltage and the relay will disconnect the engine battery. The Blue Seas brand has awesome combiner relays, they also sell a combo package that is a relay and a single switch that duplicates the three separate switches, just turn it to on and your done. I like the three separate switches manly so, if I'm not running the engine there is not reason to have power going to it. Watch Sailing Britican's latest video when they have a worn hose getting the starter and the starter relays wet and the engine is starting itself. The relay also has a terminal to connect to an indicator light to let you know when batteries are combined, Whoa....that's a mouthful. And yes, I drained both banks ONCE, just a click from the starter, got a jump start and motorsailed back in, Fun Day on Lake Erie ! Fair Winds
Nice to see the boat back in her natural element
WooHoo well worth the wait seeing her splashed. Now the fun begins, and the work continues!
Let’s launch this oversized comfortable vessel!! 😀

LOL "On this episode of Welcome Comfort"
On racing boats the saying is "Get your head out of the boat!" Situational awareness is much more important than watching numbers.
I didn't know what a seacock was on a boat, so I looked it up and now I know. Look at you Abandon Comfort making me learn stuff! Thanks. I'll probably never set foot on a sailboat, but I am fascinated with these sailing channels. This is so cool! Thanks guys.
Advice from old sailor: don't downsize without spending a couple of days and nights on the size boat your looking to downsize to. Your on a thirty five, which is really about the smallest boat you can be comfortable living on, especially bunk size for two people. A smaller boat will add stress to your relationship.
Jonathan beacon.
I was going to post how "go small go now" is better. However, I agree with you 100 %! Cruising on my 28 foot sailboat with my girlfriend does get stressful. I Think a 35 foot boat may be to much boat to start out with but I don't know. I also think that one you OWN a boat, thinking about buying other boats is like a married man or women looking at other people. Be happy with and love the boat you have!!
Congratulations, the hard work finally pays off, have a good time sailing. Cheers
What an awesome day... finally back in the water. Just an FYI, mosquito nets work best if you put them over a hat with even a small brim all around to keep it off your face. When the net is against your skin those little buggers aren't stopped at all. But... Oh Happy Day.
LOL Celebrate the journey. That is cool that you are back in the water.
Wow you are killing it. I forgot I was watching a video. I thought I was there with you... and you are off the hard!
Now, the world is yours! Congrats!!!
The boat is looking great and you're in the water!!!!
There were a few smiles there that couldn't be held back. Good to see. :-) Well done with all your hard work. Now, make us work hard in trying to keep up with your sailing adventures. Bon voyage!
Valden23 the smiles get bigger next episode when we turn off that loud, stinky thing that is needed to get through the canals 🙂
Well, I'll be honest and say I'm curious to see how you finally do that! You've had her working to all hours, crawling around inside the bilges and upside down sanding the keel, but still you haven't managed to turn Kelsey off! Was it the beard? A quiet word though - most girls don't like being called loud and stinky. :-O
Go forth nonchalantly and conquer!!
John Sears ~ I love that! Thanks for posting it. 👍
Glad you guys are back on the water.. looking for the next video adventure..
Yes!!! Water! Nice job guys! Looking forward to following the adventure. Can't wait till next Thursday!
Don't forget to polish your fuel before heading offshore. Sitting in the tank for months it will grow microbes and gunk in the bottom which won't get in your fuel line until you stir it up, as in a seaway. We learned that lesson the hard way.
On the list! We'll be doing it before we cross the stream.
Glad yall are back in the water!!
I have a 42 ft Jeanneau, I will tell you when you are going on the long cruises you will need all the extra room for food stores, tools, and as much space as possible.
Dang. I gotta wait another week.
Good luck guys.
Nothing worse than that first grinding rub after a fresh paint job. I'm sure it's a relief you didn't have it so early on. Have fun out there.
First, finally let’s get on the water. Yea! You guys are the best! Enjoy, you’ve definitely earned it. Thanks so much for your openness and honesty in sharing with us. I think folks are right, you will come to think your home is just the right size. Can’t wait to follow you wherever the winds take us!
Nice video. Tip. Buy a big mosquito net at a camping store and toss it over the entire Bimini. Jackson's in St. Pete used to have big NoSeeum nets also.
+David Wade My favorite bug net is a really inexpensive one my wife got that is supposed to go over a large beach umbrella. It has a ring of plastic around the base that you are supposed to fill with water for weight, but just the empty plastic ring is plenty of weight. The breeze goes right through it, so it wont likely blow away.
+David Wade We only throw it on at night, and stuff it back into a little stuff sack in the morning if that is not obvious. :)
So happy to see you three back on the water! I admire your hard word and determination!
It’s great to see you both doing all of the jobs on board. My wife would not be interested in checking the water strainer or oil levels! But she was a good anti-fouler :)
So excited to see you out on the water.
glad to have you back on the water again! have fun, be safe
Ah, you're a Coastie. I was Navy. Glad to see her in the water. Congrats to both of you for surviving the refit. Hit south Cuba if you can swing it. Best I've seen yet.
Thanks, James! Proud puddle pirate. Just got our 3300 approved, don't know if well make it to the south coast. Have fun in the Pacific and keep crushing it.
What an exciting adventure!
Congratulations guys, you have put so much work into this refit. Can't wait to see you hoist that sail!!
The HR352 is a great sailboat, small enough big enough to do anything you want, keep it!
A woman that knows her way with an engine? Rare like a blue clear 5 carat diamond. Impressive!
BRAVO guys! So Sweet to see you off the dock...Fair Winds!
Nice to see her in the water. And hope you feel better now. Everything seems to look fine 👍🏻🥂
Woo Hoo Guys! Back in da water! Even with the mosquitos! It all gets better from here....
I heard you say "everything simple". A saying i was taught when i was a child living on a boat yard was "simplicity works, complexaty may not". And for me its been true. Happy sailing.
Sling a ding ding baby...show me the water....🚣🏼♀️
wow good vid can't wait to see what's next for you two on the next horizon .
Glad to see you back operational
Mosquito Nets should have been Old Salt fashion wisdom for sure. -- Congrats on making to this point!!!! 🎉🎉 So much work, y'all deserve this!
You two remind me of my wife and I with our sailboat 30 years ago.. the Yanmar worked perfectly for me too. On steering toward a landmark... nice unless your off shore with landmark.. then you have your compass... I drew 5'2".
And yes I found the bottom...
Discussing your checklist is valuable. Showing your worklist and checklists inform and remind us of considerations we should look at.
Yeah! Go strong, safe and be happy.
Congratulations! Back in the water...let the adventure begin (continue) :)
Congratulations!
Smooth sailing...
congratulations you guys! so good to see you in the water!
Congrats!!! 🎉 So nice to see you on the water. We’re launching soon again too and cannot wait for that feeling of freedom 😊
I just woke up here in Cape Town and before I get ready for work I am watching your latest vid, boat looks good enjoy it.
keep em coming guys! great series!
Great job on the re-fit, well done, boat and you are looking great.
Glad that you are back on water!
brilliant episode, well done guys! Informative and concise christening
awesome! congratulations you guys! so good to see you in the water!
I used to be a fan of portaboats but after seeing other youtubers apparently they've got a tendency to tear up, we'll see how they hold up but that's something else to prepare to
Man, it's been a while since I've watched a youtube channel so fanatically!
Nice to see her splashed and through the lock!
Congrats and well done on getting there. Nice work on that deck btw.
love the good trusty dog supervising
Semper Paratus from D13. You are living our dream thanks for another great video!
Nice update, thanks for sharing!
It would be seriously bad juju to sell a boat as nice as Lucy. You won't get another one as good as that. Its better to have a little extra room in a boat especially when you have to provision one for an ocean crossing.
Good job guys!! Enjoy the fruits of you labor 🇨🇦🇨🇦💞
All up from me ... Sweet Ep...Looks like Blue water time from now on .... safe sail ... much hugs ...
Awesome video! The deck looks awesome btw.
Happy for you guys!
Just did discover your chanel today, i realy realy beleive that i am going to like it .... but for now i have to go back and wathch it from the start, happy you seem's to be very very cool
Love watching an old Coastie. I'm an old 41ft UTB coxswain out of Charleston SC. Love the channel!
Awesome! I was the last class through BM "A" School that used the 41s for training. Great boats. Thanks for following along!
Fantastic! Glad to see you with wet feet!
Great episode y’all!
love you guys.
stay safe and sail free
I for one,am hoping you are keeping the HR !
Nice one guys, happy days. Not sure what you will decide but that boat is just perfect and will look after you for years to come. Personally I would stick with it for a while and see how it goes, it will always have a market if you decide to sell but boats like yours with owners like Jim don't come along that often and it feels like so much part of your story and meant to be. Just some old salt wisdom from and old salt who has had a few boats and made loads of mistakes. Andy UK
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I'm curious of how well the epoxy sealing job worked on the deck? Has it seen any more heavy rain after completing?
Mosquitos suck.
(Back-up navigation) and so much more..Ryan is right (5 hrs ago) I love my simple Garmin csx . Hardwired just inside the companionway (so its velcro attached to a mount out at the wheel). Never needs batteries. bought the patch cord. My routes with the waypoints are entered into the csx and it talks to my autopilot. So it takes leeway into consideration, I'm always on my Rumline. Within 200 feet of next waypoint it rings. I push a button twice and it switches course to new waypoint. Never hand steer or watch course. Drink coffee on fordeck ( singlehanded) and watch for uncharted logs (PACIFIC NORTHWEST). Anchor drag alarm ..Extremely strong reception. Color daylight readable screen. Charts for anywhere can be popped in. MJ sailing has a cat rather than a dog, my mistake. Wonderful cat . G.T. S/V Silver Fantasy
Good luck you two
YAY! Congrats.
Wish I could give it two thumbs up! Great Episode!
Aloha from beautiful Hawaii islands . Florida good place working on the sailboat
Good going guys!
Best episode in a long time. I really thought you would sell this to buy something worse so you could stay on the hard. Looking forward to blue water. Don't look back.
Good luck. Be safe.
Very good advice to stay out of the electronics! A land mark is the way to go!
Hi good old salt wisdom, if you don't mind me adding a small addition to the advise, if you are coastal cruising in an area across a current and trying to steer a compass course by ' only' steering towards a fixed point on the land the current will make your course actually curve and you won't stay on the same compass heading. So periodically you will have to pick a new shore point if you want to stay on the same compass course.
Now we have GPS/chartplotters etc this is less likely to happen but if you are going 'no power' old school you could get caught out especially if it's a narrow channel.
Looks like you are having a blast , cheers Warren Ps you probably know all this.....
It's always good when there's no water coming in!
Great job!
Well said sailing is not virtual reality it's REALITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good episode, real making me want to join the adventure haha!
So awesome!
Decks look good! :-)
Who knows the adventures you will share !
Yanmar sounds so good...Yanmars are the best... I don't know whats in your future, Back in the day I think you talked about working in the U.S. Virgin Islands while sailing and exploring as well. I feel.. spend some slow time in some remote free anchorages maybe skin diving for food... The mj sailing young couple have a dog and seem like a laidback fun couple to explore and buddy boat with.
There's a river that winds on forever . G.T. S/V Silver Fantasy.
I've got my fingers crossed that neither one of you winds up getting lost in that cavernous interior! :-)
I like your dog, he looks well behaved.
Nice job
Let the joy flow. 👍👍👍😎
do you guys have any fishing gear for when you are open water sailing?
wow! thanks for another good video; love your faces
