__________________________________
I would love to say we’re in shakedown mode, but I think troubleshooting mode would be more appropriate. It seems every other day we notice a small leak, a little chaffing, a missing screw or something that is a little off kilter. And, as it seems to go with boat life, while trying to fix or diagnose the initial problem, we find another. People always say "Sailing is fixing things in remote locations" and as usual that adage hits the nail on the head.
So, I think it’s safe to say our honeymoon period is over and real boat life is back in full effect. We’re ready to set sail to the next set of islands but the boat, our computers, cameras and tender are not. At least not yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of modern-day documentarians, perpetual travelers, and seekers of tall tales.
We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us.
Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. Self-reliance and living a sustainable lifestyle are a must. It's all about managing our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so.
We've lived off the grid for over 10 years now in everything from a Van to RV to a Sailboat. And over time we have learned a lot about renewable energy, creating safe drinking water, and managing our waste.
Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity

Boat looks good.. Jason a rule of thumb with a new yacht. Make a spread sheet. Maintenance log. You have 50, hoses, thru holes to check, ask HH, for a small drawing with only, what u have to maybe tighten, print copy's, number them. And check them off as you go. Write down any that are LOSSER than others. Keep the sheets. You'll ID, where the yacht maybe vibrating more than other areas.

I am under the impression that thread tape is not to be used in engine zincs. Yanmar specifically says that. For one thing, you are potentially isolating the zinc which is the opposite of what you want. You want good metal to metal contact.

Jason and Niki, the SSDs failing, the laptop crashing, the breaker popping, screens glitching, and the anodes on the engine... it could be all related... if the stray current is in your boat. Check the grounds on your inverters, make sure your power is clean!

@johnqdoe Месяц назад

As a nasa electronics tech, I get similar vibes. I doubt they will see this, but have an electrical expert evaluate your systems at port, especially grounding. Maybe ask HH to provide an engineer. A carbon boat with a myriad of power generators just skeeves me out a bit, like you’re walking around inside magnetic lines of flux. We all know electronic data loss is especially painful these days…

@richardkeith6113 Месяц назад

Very good point!

@jonathanflatman Месяц назад

I see that you have PTFE tape around your anode thread. It might be worth checking that you still have electrical continuity between the anode and the engine or else it might not work. An anode that does not corrode is not working.

@alexandercarril4486 Месяц назад

The breaker tripping was labeled as "inverter output RCD" so a load imbalance seems highly likely. Also it could be a neutral from the inverter output is touching another neutral from a different power source which can upset the RCD. Its all part of owning a boat anyways, they can turn into magical kingdoms full of "unexplainable" mysteries sometimes.

When climbing the mast, to be safe you should always use 2 ropes, with 2 different blockers or winches. One rope is the working rope, the second is the safety rope.

@thomasstuder1624 Месяц назад

I strongly suggest keep those bike batteries out of your sail locker. Lithium batteries can catch fire, especially the NMC type. If that happens in your sail locker, you aren't going to be able to open that hatch, reach into the inferno from above and fish out a battery in flames without questionable survival chances for yourself. And your boat is flammable. So you can't leave it to burn itself out either. Store those batteries somewhere where you can swiftly throw them overboard with a chance of only minor burns to yourselves and the boat.

Wonderful video! We may end up getting one of those bikes! Just noting as well that those blow-up bumpers scratched the crap out of our dark blue hull in the location where it was mounted. Just a note since you have such a beautiful new paint job! Also, super important tip: when going up the mast in a non-emergency, NEVER use the shackle… always tie your own knot, wear closed-toed shoes, and put a second safety line on yourself just in case the primary line fails. When racing sometimes you don’t have time to do the second safety line, but even then you’ll see people always tying their own knot (not using the shackle) and people will wear closed-toed shoes so they don’t catch their toes or feet on anything sharp while stabilizing themselves and so they don’t get toes caught in strange pinch points. Great job cleaning the mast though: many people for some reason don’t give that part of their boat any love or attention.

@benking2271 Месяц назад

@jorgeespin2044 Месяц назад

Great video!! But I am low key really worried about that thin little wire of a bike lock you used for securing such expensive e-bikes. Those can be cut with some small hand tongs in mere seconds (it happened to me with a much cheaper bike). I suppose it also depends on “thief culture” for each country, but nonetheless I use and recommend at least a long ABUS Bordo around the two frames and back wheels of the bikes and one or two thin chains (not wires, even thicker ones are easy to cut) to secure the saddle-battery and front wheels. The ABUS Bordo is obviously much more substantial than the one you are using now, but it comes with a velcro bracket to attach to the bike frame and once you’re on the move you don’t feel the weight much, plus it’s quite convenient. They also sell the small cloth-wrapped chain one types on their webpage, if you want them all from a single brand or just to figure them out. Either way, IMO with the current setup it is less of a matter of “how” as it is to “when” the worst will happen, I’m afraid. Best regards and happy sailing!!

I certainly respect the number of items that have to be checked and rechecked on a new boat. Last year I bought a new Bayliner VR6. I was amazed a the number of loose hoses clamps and screws on a 22 and half ft boat. I got to the Marina one morning and looked in the water around my boat and notice a shine. Looked in the bilge which was full of hydraulic oil. Turns out the clamp on the return reservoir was stripped and under pressure the line leaked. So it’s one thing to tighten connections but you have to go back a checked when the systems are running. Trust no one, do it yourself.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice but if you only have that one bike lock, I’d recommend getting a more secure one. People can cut those locks with very simple, quiet and manual tools. Some good quality u-locks are a better option. Although depending on your location, bike thieves will often carry battery powered angle grinders so it’s also important to lock you bike in well trodden and lit spots. There’s some angle grinder resistant locks that are not too cumbersome like the LiteLock but that they get pretty expensive so it might be a bit overkill for most places that you’ll travel to. For those grinder resistant locks as well, it might be easier to cut the bike racks too haha. But I personally have a litelock for the e-bike I own in a relatively high bike theft city in Canada

When my parents bought their RV, it was one of the first of that series. My dad had to do a bit of retrofitting to meet their needs. At the time no one was installing inverters, so my dad did that. He added a few outlets for convenience. And my mom had ideas for storage that my dad fabricated. The factory was in the town where I lived, so whenever they passed through they stopped by the factory. The owners were so impressed by many of the upgrades that my dad made that the incorporated them in their future models. You're right. It's never perfect.

I feel like with this episode that GwtW is truly back to its roots, working on the boat, gear reviews, and a little peek at the surrounding city. I've left this comment before but it's worth repeating - be very cautious with your batteries for drones, cameras and other non-boat size rechargeable batteries. Mishandling them is like mishandling gasoline, it can lead to fires and explosions. Never keep one of those batteries constantly on the charger. Remove them once they get to the required charge level. Never leave a charging battery unsupervised as that is the most common time they can fail.

You guys are an inspiration. I wish I had the means and time left in my life to do what you both are doing. I love your videos and travels. Thank you for sharing.

@michaelparker7851 Месяц назад

Looking good! How about a kinda padded sail bag for the bikes, with handles and straps? Keeps the boat clean and the bikes safe dropping down the hold.

@Dave85262 Месяц назад

Now you're back to living onboard and it's fast becoming your home. Love those bikes! There are projects and chores always to be done. I must say going up the mast your way would allay my fear of heights. I hope you'll pass back to HH all the things you've done so they can incorporate them into future bottoms. Now, I'm looking forward to next weeks adventure. Un abbraccio forte a due!

Another entertaining video. I've been a subscriber of your RU-vid channel since your RV days, but I've never left a comment. It's high time I told you two how much I enjoy your videos. Your one of my favorite channels, and I watch a lot of other sailors' channels as well. Congratulations on your RU-vid success and your beautiful new boat. Even though I'm of an age that makes it unlikely I'll ever cruise the seas, I get to live the sailing life vicariously through your channel (and avoid all of the associated work). BTW, you may want to try a dry film lube rather than the WD-40. WD-40 can give some good rust prevention, but isn't considered a good lubricant. The dry lube sprays are just as easy to apply, and the carrier liquid dries off quickly to avoid collecting dust and dirt.

Jason, when using Teflon tape to seal fittings, first roll the teflon strip to form like a string. Then roll the string around the threads on the fittings, then screw the fitting into the socket. This will help seal those threads better and have less leaks!!

@HarryLovesRuth Месяц назад

Please buy a better lock up situation. That cable lock is not a real lock. A dlock or a chain and a real padlock are best if you are somewhere sketchy. You can get away with a wheel lock and chain tether (sometimes called a cafe lock) if the bike is going to be in your line of sight. This will add weight. It is worth it. The two easiest options for securing components are Pit lock and Hexlocks. These are keyed ball bearings that drop into the hex of a hex bolt and prevent someone from rolling up and stealing your saddle. Bike seats are called saddles, BTW. And assuming the rails attaching your saddles are standard size, you can swap out your saddle to something that's an exact right fit. Since you are taking the front wheel off anyway, there are numerous through axel and drop out mounting brackets available on the US market. (If you've ever seen people transporting bikes on a roof rack, that's how they do it.) I apologize if this is redundant information. You may be making do with the lock and meeting the audience where it is with the lingo. That said, it's always easier to find what you are looking for when you search with the correct terms.

@GrumpyTV12 Месяц назад

Harry, I totally disagree with you on that lock. I have used many of these locks to lock bikes, some MUCH more valuable then theirs. Any lock can be defeated by a person determined to get past the lock. I have had to cut one of those locks, it was not easy. A hydraulic battery cutter will cut almost anything, the same with a battery hand grinder. A GREAT advantage of the lock they were using is it's versatile options. They can lock two or more things together, reach further secure fastening locations, and most importantly, synch the lock tightly to prevent people from damaging the cycles by being able to move the cycles

@HarryLovesRuth Месяц назад

Yes, any locking situation can be defeated by a prepared or determined thief. The goal is to tell the thief that your locking set up will be more trouble than it's is worth. It's very much like old joke about hiking in bear country: you don't have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than the next guy. A bike that is novel will attract attention, and these bikes are novel. If you feel comfortable locking up with a cable that appears to be the thickness intended for securing a trail camera, you do you.

@GrumpyTV12 Месяц назад

Harry a 3/8 inch python lock from master craft is NOT a standard cable lock. It is very stout and difficult to cut. Large bolt cutters (brand new) took, it seemed like, forever to cut. I have seen many cycles damaged because their locks could not be secured tightly and they were able to pry against the locking device. As for a unique cycle, my cycle is a recumbent delta trike and is worth over $10 000, it is my means for transportation. I rely on that lock and have for over 12 years

WD 40 not a great lube for track. Silicone spray will not attract as much dirt and salt as WD.

I looked back at the video to double check, but he is indeed using the WD-40 dry, silicone lube.

Stray current leakage will possibly cause the anodes to be eaten away more quickly and could be creating gremlins for your computer and components.

@francineclave2207 Месяц назад

How do detect that if it is occurring?

@mikel3419 Месяц назад

@@francineclave2207 You are going to likely need to have an electrician chase this down. Your boat builder seems to be very supportive so maybe they can some out for some on board help. You have a lot of electrical stuff on that boat and a few DIY additions. Until you can get some help you should closely watch the anodes. As much electrical isolation you as you can for the computers can help.

@mikel3419 Месяц назад

Sorry to say it but IMHO, your attempt to have all of these hitech adds on your boat are creating your issues. All of the electricals are going to be the bane of your existance.

It’s not easy to remove WD40 spray residue. Better to use silicon spray and apply it via a rag.

@quickdry3 Месяц назад

regarding the zerocharge and splashes - slicing up a plastic 2L coke bottle could be stuck on to make a shroud. You could even still drape the shower curtain over, but then the exhaust fan will still have a way to move air, and you don't need to remember to take the covering on and off. Regarding the lins coming through the holes - dustpan brushes/brooms glued over the holes make for a soft bristle that lets the line pass through but stops splashes from coming through. You could also put tubing or split tubing over the line and glue that to the hole so the lines run through. A foot of close fitting tube would stop and splashes, though the lines would still soak and drip. Another option is just a little squash ball or the like stuck over the lines so they seal up against the hole when they're in position when you're under way.

That Master Python Lock, is NOT a very good lock. Generally not recommended except for the cheapest of bicycles. I'd swap it out for a better one ASAP. In reviews they were able to cut through it in 12 seconds, and they could pick the lock within 3-4 seconds. 😖

You can always change the seat. Nothing proprietary about it. As a competitive cyclist I will tell you the anatomical shape of a seat is more relavent than the compliance or "squishyness".
