Isn't it easier to stop at one bridge or something high so you can raise and lift down the mast,?

Finally 7years later … now are you ready too sell your Ericson? Just let me know when thanks for your time

Watching 7 years after…. And, wow, just wow, well done 👍⛵️🧿👏

👏🧿⛵️

Excellent video ! ..I am considering an alberg 30 w/ non-original tabernacle, and a cut-down mast from a C and C. The tabernacle consists of a thick flat stainless steel plate bolted atop and through the coach roof and through the horizontal wooden support beam directly underneath the coach roof. Welded to port and starboard edge-sides of the base plate are additional, raised, vertical stainless steel plates. The mast sits between the raised plates and is held there by two bolts each of which run through one plate then the mast and out the other plate. In the above-described arrangement the bottom of the mast remains suspended (above the horizontal coach-roof-bolted plate) by the two horizontal bolts and does not touch down upon the horizontal plate. I can only suppose that this was done so as to allow the mast to be lowered/raised by removing one horizontal bolt and rotating the mast around the remaing bolt(?).. I wonder if you might let me know if such a set-up is unstable, given that the bottom of the mast is suspended. (I have only experience, many years ago, sailing a little 12 foot sailboat).

what would freak me out pretty quickly is that everything is the same in every direction. no visible horizon, the water being almost like glass, no point of reference or orientation of ANY form, there is absolutely zero air movement and nothing around, so on top of all that it is also completely silent. horrible. if the air was less hazy i could maybe deal with it but the accumulation of factors in this situation here would give me a panic attack.

Very impressive. My son just bought a 1983 Catalina 25 and has already decided it's too small and is looking at the Ericson 26. Seeing all the modifications you did to this boat really makes it sea worthy for long trips, something he'd like to do as well. Thanks for sharing.

How much I missed you guys

Thanks. Very informative!

She is high😂

I’d love to do this to our Bristol 40

you should rename your boat to overkill lol very nice

5mins in...stuff it I will use a crane lol

yall break up or what?

This chick is so sheltered lol

Is that a grounding bar beside the keel?

Great information, thank you!

Mesin sy westerbeke 3 slinder.keluhan sy,rpm besar tenga tdk ada dan gas tdk mau naik .apa solusinya.

unbelievable !

Rest in Peace! Both gone but not forgotten

Since fresh water is critical to one's survival, how could a few hundred dollars for a repair kit deter one from buying it? Really poor judgement.

Was the boat hurley 27 or what. Great boat btw

Hallo. What type of boat is your boat, please? Thanx George

RIP! Both went to down to Davies locker

RIP

RIP! Sailing is not for everyone especially when the hurricane hits and you go down with the ship to Davies locker like these folks

Nice job

RIP dude.. 😢

Rip

Rip

RIP... both died during hurricane IDA in Florida.. they didn't exit there sailboat

just curious does your Ericson have a wet or bilge?

I know this is old but I just love you two!!! I really enjoy watching your videos!! Thanks for making them!! Hopefully one day I will be able to do what you guys are doing!!!

This is a longshot considering how old this video is... are you still using the Katadyn? I'm building a $29' cruiser and I was quoted a 40gph unit for nearly $15k! I can't conceive of using that much water. lmao

It's amazing how quiet it is. I hiked Delicate Arch in Utah years ago and when there weren't people around, just being out in the middle of the desert is so much quieter than you expect it to be. Same here. I expected some wind noises, water noises, but nope. It's so quiet it seems to isolate and amplify every noise you guys make. Crazy.

That was a thoroughly comprehensive boat tour, maybe a little too thorough. I know how to open your hatch, get your cash and open your gun safe.

Thanks for all the information and details. Could have gotten the same information watching someone in China do it.

Middle of the Ocean and you can see the bottom? If I google it and ask the overage I get an answer of about 3,000 feet deep. I know there are some Major Deep places but, what would one actually think, How deep is most of the Ocean? The main belief would be NO MATTER where you are the ocean is Deep as F. But I love that you say you are in the middle of the ocean and can see the bottom so clearly. Wish I could see it. Edit: @8:00 minutes, Why not just jump in the Ocean?

What makes the water this flat

Did you ever swim in there?

Wonder what you all been up to. Watched you two when you started your channel alone was the main inspiration for me to cruise i am now full time like you two were because of you two anything became possible for me.

You are #1, great refitting

do you use the vx7-r much ?

Did the dodger come with the boat or did you make?

It must’ve been a wonderful experience I wonder what y’all are doing now

10 boats in an anchorage, only 1 is grounded. The grounded boat will probably be hit before the others. Lightning strikes start from the ground up, not from the cloud down. The direct path to ground with an air gap between the mast and the ground is the way to go. The air gap will limit the charge build up, but still allow a strike to pass to ground.

Seen the ocean this calm, sunrise and no wind. It was like the scene from Life Of Pie.

Reminds me of home.

Could you please share the waypoints for crossing avoiding yellow bank

great video
