Woke up to find the bilge pump running non stop. This occurred after all the house batteries had died which had since been recharged and reinstalled. Eventua...

all right I woke up from the middle of

the night and I heard my bilge pump

running so obviously I was like what's

going on are we taking on water just ran

and ran and ran and even though there

was no water in it but it seemed to kind

of continually leak water back in just a

little bit at a time and it would kind

of just pull that water out and leak it

in it looks pretty gunked up in there in

the impaler so I've been reading a lot

of things saying maybe you just need to

clean it out so this may have just been

stopping the Impaler from turning so it

was getting the signal that it had water

and it was just continually on but it

wasn't actually pumping anything out the

build was running very very like lightly

though and then when I pulled the float

up then it would run stronger inside of

my float there must be a short this is a

little bit old this came with the boat

so there must be some sort of a short is

what we came up with that was allowing

the current to weakly go through to run

my village and then when I pull it up it

would get a strong current I hooked up

my new float that I got wired it up and

then the test was just to touch this to

my battery and if the bills didn't

automatically start running then it was

success only if when I lift the float up

it started to run you hear nothing here

so we have fixed the problem

the previous owner had the wire is going

just just like this you had him wrapped

around the battery terminals so I got

heat heat shrink connecting terminals

the thickness of this wire is 14 I got a

12 gauge I had the wires connected wrong

this white wire was connected to the

positive terminal red wire was connected

to the negative terminal normally

that'll blow below a circuit or in most

cases in bilge it'll just run it'll run

backwards originally I hooked this to

the positive and I hooked this to the

negative and then I pulled a float up

and nothing would happen so I just kind

of experimenting and switched the wires

and pulled the float up and it worked

replaced the float then I replaced the

Bilgin and then when I had a brand new

builds brand new flow in the same wiring

it wasn't working near the end my

problem was that the bilge was working

but whenever I would put on the the hose

it was like a very weak trickle it

wasn't powering it enough to get all the

way up and out of the boat it was just

kind of trickling out even though I was

working so that was when I decided that

I'm just gonna change all the wires

because it seems to be getting power but

it's just weak and it was flowing out

even though I had the positive to the

negative and negative to the positive it

was flowing out so it wasn't flowing

backwards and it was getting powers so

I'm a little confused to be honest you

found the funk now you'll have to swing

it it's working now got a new float I

put the old bilge on took the the new

bilge back and I used that money to get

all the wires and the heat shrink butt

connectors and the heat shrink

connecting terminals so Devin is a guy

that works at West marine in the last

three days he's been amazing he's

awesome I mean today we were sitting on

the ground just talking about wiring you

can see I got that grease that he

recommended to put on the ends of the

wires to connect

and I've learned a lot about him he's

been struck by lightning he's been

electrocuted hooking up lighting in the

inside of a house all kinds of things

but he was so helpful

[Music]

[Laughter]

swing swing so it starts raining really

bad and marina thinks that's a great

time to jump in the ocean

[Music]

okay where are we

we're in the oldest house and he wins in

[Music]

you

so glad that you made it and you weren't

scared to come after the storm

he was surrounded by lady master

yeah they do so it took eight hours to

prepare the oven to bake bread which

they did every single day it was part of

the routine and this is the cookhouse of

course we left around one o'clock and we

just got to the beach the South Beach I

was telling Medina how amazing it is and

it's close it's 316 so we've walked

about two hours of course we got a

little lost because I'm leading the way

so that always happens took a little

more time off so now no showers we

didn't get to pull down in the beach and

we're walking back the way we came

[Music]

just couldn't keep walking any longer

without going down so Who am I to tell

you now listen

[Music]

show us your spin one by one big bite

[Music]

Constanza excuse me ma'am

listen and repeat Coulee census in water

konasana water order Senora Senora

Senora Senora women in Brazil are

usually addressed with singing order

unless they are very young how you say

ma'am in Portuguese seeing the oughta

sing you either say English in glaze

here's how to say you understand just

listen I see you are in danger I see one

in danger

I see ocean and make it part by part Lee

understand in danger in Eng in ten G

here G yeah G Morrow morning we're gonna

have gust of 41 knots and it's starting

to slow down

come Friday and then it's gonna go right

back up to the purples and this has been

the third day straight of this this wind

onslaught and Medina is handling it well

living in a highly populated anchorage

does present its challenges the strong

currents are always changing direction

also the winds are changing direction

and can be strong add those together and

you get a spinning boat that's getting

pulled in every possible direction there

are many other boats anchored around you

swinging differently depending on how

they're anchored or moored also you have

to look out for already set mooring

tackle

sailboat so the first thing you do is

you drop your main anchor and then you

drift back and then once it's once you

once you set and you've let out five to

one at least seven to one would be ideal

then you pop it in reverse and you back

down on it real hard and until it until

you set that anchor once that anchor is

set then you let out with your hand you

just let out twice the amount of scope

so you'll be way back here and then you

want to drop your secondary anchor

whoops you want to make sure you don't

drop the whole thing and you want to

keep the line up on the boat there so

you drop the secondary anchor and then

with your hand you just pull in on your

main anchor and let out your secondary

until you pull all the way back to your

five to one scope on your main anchor

and then this anchor will be back this

way and this one will be here so once

you're in the middle then you pop it in

forward and you rev it and you set this

this secondary anchor here then you tie

a rolling hitch with this secondary

anchor here using the secondary anchor

line you tie the rolling hitch around

the main anchor line this is all

knowledge gained out of the handbook of

sailing which is constantly being

referred to and then pull both lines up

and put those onto your cleat and then

you put a weight that goes about at

least 10 feet down so it's down below

your kill and it holds both lines

together and below you so if you spin

around like this

your kill does not catch on the lines it

also helps you from swinging in a large

radius

it just keeps you on a small little

radius here which is ideal when you have

tons of boats anchored all around you

you don't want to be swinging on one

anchor like this really far in all

directions not to mention you know

that's you're more likely to if you go

from this direction all the way to this

you can possibly flip your anchor upside

down and go slipping away the weight is

about a 25 pound lead ball hook to a

pulley and this pulley is attached just

above the rolling hitch to force it

downwards you attach a line to this

weight and bring that on the deck and

it's also attached to a cleat so you'll

have three lines attached to your cleats
