This week on Onboard Lifestyle, the crew heads out of the Bay Area and set sail to our next port. Pillar Point Harbor did not disappoint. Linh and Emma befriends a fisherman who gives them some fish. The Captain has to flex his muscles to prove to Linh he most definitely has mad fishing skills. Come back next week to see where we are...see you then!

previously on onboard lifestyle

after a quick shakedown in the bay we

drop anchor in richardson bay

while waiting for a weather window to

depart to our next port

while we are there we played tourists

for the day in the beautiful city of

sausalito

then the unexpected happened something's

happening over there

on that boat it looks like somebody fell

into the water

and they don't have a dinghy out there

so teal is heading out to

check on them my dad spotted a man

overboard situation and rushed over to

help

i gave a bit of a history of the golden

gate bridge as we sailed under her

we hung a left and had a bumpy run down

the coast

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

huh

i absolutely love making entries into my

yacht log

this thing not only gives me so much

information

it acts as a diary to our lives and it's

fun to look back

you know years and years ago you know

other boats we've had

i've got it all in here i have so much

information

you know every time we move the boat

whether it's from a dock to a dock

an anchorage to an anchorage mooring

ball to an anchorage doesn't matter

if the boat moves i make an entry

right now here we are pillar point

harbor i'm making my entry

you know i put down information the date

we were there

where we're at in this case it's pillar

point harbor half moon bay

california i write down the engine

hours port and starboard engine hours i

put

the latitude and longitude who was at

helm

for the last leg i put down any water

gas diesel or propane that would pick up

during this stop

i also put the sea state how big was the

swell

how big were the wind waves and what

direction

i put the wind direction wind force

barometric pressure

water temperature sky conditions

visibility and air temperature

i also put down this is kind of

interesting how much for each leg that

we motor

motor sail or sail it's kind of fun to

look back on

of course i put the maintenance down

this is

one of my favorites i put an anchor

rating because it's nice to go to

another to an anchorage

you know years later and look at my

anchor rating or if somebody wants some

advice

uh where to anchor i have it in my yacht

log

i gave this place last time we were

let's look this up

way back in maybe i shouldn't say that

the year right here

and nice i gave it a nine out of ten and

so far

i'm probably gonna rate it that or

higher i love it here

i talk about uh

anything that's pertinent to the boat

you know if uh if

there was the outboard engine is acting

up or if there's steam coming out of the

exhaust i'll make notes here so i know

when that happened last

i put down the hours that it took for

that last leg

the nautical miles and our average speed

and here's emma's favorite i put down

any fish that we catch

so if we catch a fish on that leg or at

that anchorage

it goes in the yacht log it's really fun

to look back at that

so every time we drop the hook

i cannot wait to open this up and just

fill in all this information

because i don't know i just like it

[Music]

by collecting all this information all

the time it gives me all sorts of

interesting things for me to think about

like i was just going over

our water consumption now that we're uh

exactly 14 days from leaving the dock in

richmond

i can see exactly how much water

is on board versus how much we left with

it's kind of interesting

we had a a 39 gallon tank filled

we had 18 gallons in jerry cans six

gallons of bottled water

i even put down the little brita pitcher

on here and we had eight gallons in a

solar shower

that gave us 72 gallons as we left we

did pick up

five jerry cans of water by dinghy

uh over the past week which gave us a

total of 120 gallons

but we still have 39 gallons in the tank

right now tanks are full

and five gallons in uh the solar shower

so we've used a total in 14 days

76 gallons now keep in mind

we're kind of in conservation cruiser

mode right now

and we're not trying to be gluttons and

we're not trying to be

stingy but we're just seeing kind of

what is our usage and we're being a

little sensitive right now because we

don't have

our water maker up and going when we

will be running that

in a little while but we've been in

these silty little bays and we're not

going to run a water maker for a while

so we thought let's just try to be

conservative

and see what our usage is if we're

paying attention

so the first 14 day sample as a family

now keep in mind we're

we've been showering all three of us

have showered every single day

since we left we've run a few loads of

laundry not through the machine we've

done it by hand

i actually used a couple gallons when i

was doing the engine flush as well

this includes drinking water everything

total

5.4 gallons per day for the family of

three

that's pretty amazing that's 20.4 liters

per day

that's our i would say you know we're

being probably a little sensitive right

now

and trying to stretch the water but it's

it's nice to know that we're living

comfortably on such a little amount

when we get the water maker fired up i'm

sure the rules will change but

for now it's kind of interesting to

track this

are you all done i'm all done thank you

new location here we go what do you

think

it's been a while i think it's nice get

up here buddy

i was a little disappointed with this

passage

i was too it was a little lumpy um you

know

yeah let me let me talk a minute about

that actually

you know we've been looking for a little

weather window to head from

san francisco bay start heading down the

coast but it seems like

san francisco this time of year has this

these odd little microclimates that are

just

sucking and drawing everything into the

bay goes up the sacramento and san

joaquin river systems

and into the valleys up there which are

super hot so this is drawing

all this wind through there seems like

it's drawing wind from the south

wind from the north so well i feel like

it just funnels in and then it kind of

just swirls

so it's predictable yet unpredictable

well our prediction was this you know

we've been watching this there was a

little window

that we'd have a south and southwest

release for the first part of the day it

was going to clock around to westerlies

it'd be a nice beam reach coming uh down

here but did that happen

the last third of the well that's yeah

about the last third we uh

we were able to sail but you know what

it felt good

it's okay though i think that you know

we had to run the engines

to kind of work out the kinks it was a

good shake down for our engines uh

i actually watched those real close

after we did our barnacle

buster blaster buster i don't remember

it's buster and uh watched the

temperatures on those engines and both

engines ran

uh within a degree of each other the

entire trip that uh

so it was nice uh coming in though we

did hit some wind

and we were able to uh sail right up to

the entrance uh

yeah that was cool that was pretty fun

and uh we were uh

we were cooking along at a nice clip so

i i i really enjoyed that

so here we are at anchor and time to

have some fun

do we cheers yet maybe we can do it

again there we go

so relax and have some dinner it means

you get to relax and i get to make

dinner that's what i'm at

this place brings back so many memories

the last time we were here was on our

chimaran

and i think that we're anchored in just

about the same spot

this is also the first place that i

cooked

this meal for teal and

at the time you guys know i didn't know

how to cook i was gifted a

a kit to make it so for tonight i'm

gonna make the exact same meal only this

time i think that i can do it without

the help of a kid

[Music]

in my opinion this is the perfect meal

for a cold dreary day clam chowder

is so comforting especially in this

little sleepy fishing village

[Music]

that's no bacon we're making plain

chowder

yes

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

so

[Music]

okay so we are here at uh the queen of

hearts with eric

and he runs a charter business and he's

been so kind to

offer us some fish but so

here i got a fish for you guys right

here oh that's beautiful

is that a snapper no this is a uh

stari okay so how do you cook this

well it all depends on how you want to

cook it so some people actually uh

want the bodies have the whole body so a

lot of people like the steamer

okay um some people like to grill them

on the barbecue how do you prefer to do

it

uh personally i make my own blackening

seasoning

okay yeah i kind of barbecue it that way

oh cool thank you thank you yeah so

how would you like this one jen i don't

know i'm thinking maybe steaming it

would be a good idea that's what i

figured okay

thank you so much eric all right well

we'll check you out

this is awesome are you going to cook

for me

no

[Laughter]

maybe

just put a little bit of squid on each

one of these and you let it hit the

bottom

and when the swell picks the boat up

it's going to pick the floor up too

and when it does that's when they'll hit

it they'll nail it

all day long no problem

careful don't stick a hole in the boat

oh she won't this girl is all about

fishing there you go

thank you so much

[Music]
