so Emma today is supposed to be

departure day do you think we're gonna

be leaving today I don't think so

because looks like somebody is sick

it's so pathetic are you feeling I feel

pretty good actually a bit you sound

terrible I know I just need to rest a

little

so tomorrow baby

let's see compass is like in it he's

chilling relaxing anything to get

underneath the covers compass compass

okay this isn't the time to make a video

honey

I don't understand you

I was sent a rest so all kidding aside I

tend to joke a lot when I'm worried

about something just to kind of lighten

the mood but teal has been sick he was

sick you know I thought it was not

anything serious but after the first day

he was still not feeling well and you

know I've been checking his vitals

checking his blood pressure and

temperature just to make sure that

everything was okay

he was just really tired so you know

with in light of this pandemic you know

we're always really careful we have been

social distancing we've been wearing our

masks if we go into town we just been

trying to keep our distance from

everybody around us but you just never

know I called our doctor and we were

able to do a video conference and from

what she gathered for my information to

her and what she is seeing with teal it

looks like he just has the cold and it's

not covitz

so thank goodness for that in the

meantime he has been sleeping most the

48 hours so far so I don't want to go

out because obviously we miss our

weather window you know the sea

conditions out there are there okay and

the winds are perfect for us

but the seconds between the swells went

from 8 to 12 seconds to 4 to 5 seconds

which doesn't make for a fun ride down

the coast and I really do want teal 100%

healthy before we set sail so it looks

like in the next couple days the weather

is going to look better again and I'm

hopeful that teal will be recovered at

that point and we can leave port you'll

see there are a few things that teal and

I do before we leave port and every port

we do this teal has a slough

things that he likes to check before we

head out and that includes checking both

engines making sure that the belts and

oil levels are all right

and he also tops off our water and

making sure that our field and propane

are all capped off we so far since we've

left Westport we've only used about 12

gallons of diesel which is awesome that

just means that we are doing more

sailing than motoring I love it so we

didn't obviously need to go to the field

dogs so teal just took our dinghy over

there to cap off some of our dairy cats

while he was over there he noticed that

the water stream on our outboard was a

little low it was kind of like a trickle

versus a steady stream so obviously he's

gonna tackle that before we head out for

our next port and obviously he got sick

so it's been sitting here now for the

past two days and I figured you know one

less thing on his things to do before we

head out again so I'm going to do it I

think that it should be pretty simple I

googled it and it looks pretty

straightforward and so I'm gonna channel

my inner teal and do this on my own

so I have the screwdriver

and I have the socket set we do already

have a water pump repair kit so that's

good and while I'm at it I'm going to

also change the lower oil thing teal has

the lower unit pump and he also picked

up the lower unit gear loop so I think

that I have everything on hand one of

the things I think is different the way

that I tackle projects versus how teal

tackle projects is before I start I like

to pour myself a nice glass of wine to

get going well this is a bigger project

and its really outside of my comfort

zone so I think I need a little bit more

so I'm gonna give myself a bottle

time to get started let's get to work

so I just watched a video on YouTube and

it's pretty simple

first thing I have to do is drain the

oil in the lower unit and there's only

two set screws can't be too bad

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so that job is done not too bad it

actually did not and need or I don't

think it uses that much oil but it's

dark so it's a good thing that we're

replacing it so before we get started on

the rest of this project Emma and I are

gonna go up and drop this off at the

recycling station now that the oil taken

care of I have to there's a pin here and

that I have to punch out and that will

release the shifting rod I guess and

then there's just a matter of four bolts

I have to remove so then the lower unit

will go down and I can access the

impeller should be simple it should be

like butter right

[Music]

so I've already taken three of the bolts

out so I need to be extra careful with

this last one cuz I don't want this

thing's just sliding on out and then

I'll be in a world of hurt and I have to

be really careful because the housing

for the impellers made out of plastic so

they said to be really careful so you

don't hurt anything I'm not sure if it's

the second glass of wine or what but

this has gone pretty smoothly it's time

to crack this baby open and see what's

happening with the impeller if qu'il

knew what I was doing right now it would

probably drive him crazy because

obviously we have different techniques

and how we approach projects and tell

likes things done a certain way but

you know I have to pitch in when I can

and it's been kind of fun but taking me

a lot longer than I thought because

looking at that YouTube video it was

about a six minute video and he made it

seem so easy so this is big props to

teal because he this is not as

complicated as anything else that he

normally does but I'm trying I should

probably check on him because it's been

a couple hours and I haven't taken this

temperature yet so hang tight I'm going

to do that and we'll get back to this

all the bolts are off

[Music]

how you doing healing

okay well I'll check on you in a little

bit okay she looks good I checked his

vitals and he seems fine still sleeping

so let's see what's underneath here okay

so I see a problem here already and I

don't even know anything about engines

but that set pin is in here instead of

in here so that could be it

but I have the repair kit so I'm just

gonna replace everything so I was able

to pry everything out and the repair kit

actually came with new gaskets and new

plates for everything so since I'm right

in here I might as well the hard part

now is to put this pin and line it up

while I ease the I guess impeller down

on it my tweezers come in handy

[Music]

so I don't think I'm going to complain

next time teal steals them from me

so one thing the guy so one thing the

guy on the YouTube channel said was

because this is a plastic housing not to

over crank on it so you don't crack you

don't crack it

so you said you just gotta kind of feel

for it so make sure that they're tight

but not too tight that it breaks it

[Music]

I am in the homestretch

everything is reassembled fingers

crossed I just have to lower this add

the gear lube and then test-fire it I

guarantee you as soon as I test-fire it

deal is gonna wake up oh okay the moment

of truth I got my bucket of water I got

my trusty assistant and I got the feel

all hooked up in price so we just gotta

test it and make sure that everything

works smoothly I think it's gonna go

well you hold this and make sure that

the water

[Music]

go

the united states coast recitations by

the bay conditions of the economy bar

are as follows

jetty tips 1 2 3 foot slow clean channel

2 2 for football

winds are light variable and disability

is 5 nautical miles bar is currently

unrestricted however vessel operators

are encouraged of everyone where I live

chatting to walk across the bar for

further information contact this Coast

Guard Station on channel 1 6 VHF break

well I like everything with except for

the winds light variable they should

pick up this afternoon but conditions

should be nice and flat out here

[Music]

that side note I'm feeling pretty good

today much better to stay here we come

[Music]

looks like the seas are pretty flat out

here today

[Music]

ah feels good get these sails up again

see state is pretty calm three to five

foot swell about seven to ten seconds

apart can't complain

well I guess I can the winds are light

and variable but we're clipping along at

five five and a half knots if we hold

this pace we'll be in there before dark

winds are supposed to pick up a little

bit later today it's still morning

though

it's supposed to pick up 5 to 15 gusting

to 18 to 20 from the Northwest so that

should be just perfect to push us into

Coos Bay

we just had some major excitement we're

just sailing along at a nice clip six

and a half knots and we hit a thud on

our port with it Porter's our starboard

starboard hull and so keel and I are

freaking out thinking we hit something

maybe a crab pot or some a log maybe but

we look behind us and it was a shark I

think it was a pretty big one

10 10 11-footer oh my god huge I hope

it's ok we pissed it off I'll tell you

that poor guy he was flailing behind us

for a while but then we watched him swim

away so I think we stunned him scary

other than that it's a good group yes we

are sailing along in almost ideal

conditions here seas are still staying

flat and winds are about 10 to 12 knots

off our beam and we're maintaining six

six and a half

[Music]

[Music]

as you can see by the sea state it's

been a beautiful day out here

we got a kind of a mixed bag of

everything a little bit of wind a little

bit of calm you know started out a

little little light as we were leaving

this morning but we have 80 miles to run

from bar to bar to to make it in in

daylight hours and that was our goal and

we got to sail a big chunk of it and

made good time actually we were sailing

much faster than we could power now

winds are dying off we had a chance

so we doused the main we're still flying

the jib because we could reap that in

real quick but we kicked on the engines

and we're gonna power in over the over

the bar we're still about eight miles

out but in order to make this in

daylight hours we have to kick up our

speed a little bit and the winds are

just dying off on us

so looks like we'll make it plenty of

times it's about three hours of daylight

we're about two hours away so it should

be pretty good timing

we're timing this bar crossing on a

flood tide and that's important when the

wind is out of the West because on an

ebb tide it'll stack up real quick in

the mouth in fact we heard quite a bit

of restrictions on some of the river

systems as we were traveling south today

but overall it's been a fun day you know

we got to see some wildlife saw some

whales saw some sharks saw some tuna

jumping and

you know what can't complain okay on our

approach

Emma is forward on crabpot watch as the

Depp's get a little shallower the crab

pots increase and she gets a kick out of

this okay the ladies are having fun as

we enter coos bay here we're gonna round

this green marker and shoot the channel

well here we are tucked into the

Charleston marina in plenty of daylight

hours we probably have another hour for

the sunsets feels good nice day it's

time for Linda whip up some dinner and

we'll relax so we'll see you guys later

[Music]

[Music]

so one thing the guy

[Music]
