this is Brenda she's our captain this is

me at first mate this is us having lunch

smack-dab in the middle of Pacific Ocean

and this is our boat adventurer our goal

is to see the world and this is the

story of how we're doing it eight months

ago we put our boat in this storage yard

and found out we had some major problems

with our amazed you know the big pole

that's supposed to be sticking out of

the center of the boat it's what makes

the sailboat a sail boat since a new

mast was months away from being made you

might be wondering what we've been doing

in the meantime

well we sailed across the mighty Pacific

Ocean on our friends boat swam in warm

tropical water

we hiked and we explored a bunch

spent a whole lot of time with skis

strapped to our feet in the mountains

and we camped out wide-open spaces

but after eight months away it was

finally time for us to give back to our

boat our ladders gone our ladders gone

how's the looking terrible

eight months in a dirty and dusty

storage yard haven't been kind to the

old girl she's looking pretty weathered

and rough that's where the mast is

supposed to be poking out of

we have about two months before we leave

Seattle and set sail for Mexico and in

that time we have a ton of projects to

get done

and that's where the bottom side of the

mast is supposed to be city we aren't

going anywhere without that mast since

we have tons of other projects to tackle

boxes and boxes of both parts is just

like Christmas

this is what we'll use to mount our

radar to our new mast

Oh box of rope you never have enough

rope I hope this is probably the most

important thing they've ordered Domino's

sitting in the middle of the ocean

really really waterproof computer bags

and some of this stuff I honestly have

no idea why I ordered but got it now so

gotta figure out what to do with it this

is actually the Fox I really didn't want

it's got some flares and some other odds

and ends but mostly this box is full of

plumbing parts fixing plumbing on a boat

is literally the crappiest part and this

is what we call boat yoga contorting

into ungodly positions to fix something

on the boat doing boat yoga and plumbing

at the same time sucks but as you can

see Brenda likes doing boat yoga too

she's putting a new door on our freezer

last summer a guy ran into us while

we're anchored finally getting around to

fixing the gelcoat

Brenda's been busy making mosquito

screens for all of our hatches the

manual door

this could be the most important project

on my list and installing new slides on

the drawers and Brenda's closet because

with the old ones whenever the weather

was rough and the boat was bouncing

around her drawers that fall off the

tracks and I would get a look that it

was surely my fault this one is about

keeping a marital bliss

what are you doing how's it coming we

love boat work are you sure would you

rather be working on the plumbing I'll

trade you after about four or five tries

using a book and a couple YouTube videos

I finally tied a splice right and it

looks pretty good

you never have a boat without doing it a

lot of safety

but the funnest part about being in the

yard is that you get to go up and down

the ladder at least 40 times a day all

that up and down usually means we got

something accomplished and that means I

get across something off my list this is

actually my favorite part of working on

the book crossing something off the list

just means of that much closer

we were starting to feel like we were

getting a lot accomplished then this

happened you may remember this whole

well fell into it messed up my foot

doctor says no ladders for a while

that's ok because sometimes it's nice to

take a break find a beautiful spot watch

the tide roll in and the Sun go down
