dear @Highfieldboats please sponsor SV Basik ... I have seen you sponsor so many other undeserving sailing channels so this time do what's right and support the beautiful family. There is a Highfield Dealer at the Marina in Costa Rica.
I remember as a kid growing up back in the 70’s that my dad would always have rolls of duct-tape stashed around the house. He absolutely loved that stuff and considered it to be one of mankind’s greatest inventions! He used to tell me “Son, if something can’t be fixed with duct-tape…. then it’s just not worth having”! 50 years later, you can walk into my home and find rolls of it in every color. 😎
Emily & Clark's Adventure has a dinghy fix that doesn't rely on a glue joint, it is about 11 months old now called: "Deflated Dinghy? Repair it for Under $100". It is recommended for dumpster babies :) The other option is to do a Joshua Slocum and build a boat on the beach, except the boat he built to get his family home was a bit bigger than a dinghy...
I dunno Teal…. We had a inflatable years ago. Ran over a piling in El Salvador and it was impossible to find a ton of hypalon glue. Had to sneak it back in a shampoo bottle from the US. Our hard nesting dinghy is over 20 years old and looks new. Sails better than it rows, rows better than it motors, and motors with the 3.5 for 100 miles on 5 gallons of gas. I will admit I use a rotomolded kayak quit a bit as it’s super low maintenance over coral and rocks. I collected the epoxy, surf glass and misc. hardware mostly in Panama and built the hard dinghy in Ecuador with 3 sheets of cheap plywood. Took a month. Years ago I inherited my fathers 27 year old El Toro and used it for 13 years then gave it to my sister for here family to use. Seems like inflatables have a planned obsolescence of sorts…
Christmas 🎄 is just around the corner OMG Teal I love the New DINGHY that you bought for Lihn and Em it's beautiful mate 😉 Damn you're a good Man 😁😁😂😂 Love from The Land Down Under 😘 😘 😘
You guys should get one of the battery powered jetwashers to help rinse off the anchor chain etc (as in those that use similar battery to your power tools).
That is a great idea! I didn’t know these existed. Zihuatanejo has the nastiest water since the town’s sewage dumps into the bay promoting a lot of organic growth.
We just resurrected our older Apex hypalon dinghy by giving it to Hugo the Dinghy Dr here in Guatemala. He put new tubes inside of the old tubes and added new valves as well. We topped it off with new chaps and its like new again.
Emma's right, I have a 1988 JeeP Wrangler held to gether with duct/k tape, wire ties, scotch tape and a few thumbtacks. Might even be a little bubble gum in there. Fair winds all
Once you make it to NZ get the light weight OC Tender. We never had a dingy repair again. Planes easier too so we used a lot less fuel. The pockets in the sides rails keeps your snorkelling gear off the bottom too. Thanks for the video!
When you do replace your dinghy, I would recommend a 13" Boston Whaler (if you come across one). Our family has had the same one since 1978 ! This is a personal preference , of course. I hope your dinghy troubles are at an end even though you can fix anything. Safe journeys !
Hi guys, wow can’t believe how small Emma was when you first started going yachting she’s grown into a beautiful young lady. Keep up the good work. Love your videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🇦🇺🏝️🧑🏾🦽🦘🐨🌏🐬
I hesitate to say this because I don't know anything about boating really, but you might look into a rigid dinghy like a whaly boat. They look safe and low maintenance to me.
It is always nice to see this week's edition of Basik. At least you were in a good place to have a leaking dinghy. And as most of life, for every pro there is a con. Good luck with the anchor chain.
Have you seen the one on the HH88(Sketch to Sea), I was like, what-tha? Think it automatically turns on when the windlass weighs anchor. But honestly, isn't that what the crew is for.😅
The pull test , almost any glue for that stuff will pass, It's the peel test that will determine for holding air that works. Don't bother with a new one till you're spending more that $100 a year in glue and patches. Next one you buy(Zodiac) contact company and get the glue they use(keep in freezer or fridge) . ADD-On, In marinas and used boat sites, you see lots of no-name and other brand in the garbage and for sale. Rare to see Zodiac's that are not worn out(20 years plus). People seem to keep em till that want something bigger/small, not because they have too many patches. Hard to find a Zod in really good shape, but easy to find others. for most military, police and rescue the Zodiac RIB is the boat of choice
YOOOOOO!!!!! Did you guys miss me? I have been traveling to Misawa and Iwakuni Japan for tennis tournaments and haven't had a chance to get caught up with my favorite sailing fam....
Hey Y’all, you’re one of my two favorite sailing channels. Which is the main reason for my comment today. Your dingy problem. About a year ago Gone with the Wynn’s channel did a few episodes about searching for a replacement dingy for their new cat,(which is almost ready). Some interesting reviews, you may want to check out. Don’t know what their or your budget is/was but just thought I would mention it. Again, love y’alls channel. PLEASE Stay safe and healthy! Reminder: communicate with locals about piracy in their areas. Maybe next dingy could be a really FAST one !?! Have a bug-out bag, extra water and gas to toss in for emergency get away? Call it LIFE insurance 🤔! TEAL! Protect your ladies!!! ⛵️🇺🇸
Great video as always. I wonder if a pressure washer would work on the chain? Maybe it would mess up the coating. That chain looked crazy it looked like it had been in the water for months.
Great episode! Did you run into Andy and Red there? 😉 It’s never fun when your car gets a flat...on land or at sea. At least you can fix the flat yourself! Oh, and you should always be scrubbing your bottom daily! 😂

Guess it will be next week for the battery info - So how long does it take to fully charge your batteries (with new bank) and how long does that last without a generator recharge? Is a new dingy in the plans or like me will you keep the old vehicle as long as possible? Donate for a Dream
A new dinghy is definitely a must. We are just putting band aids on until we can get to a place that we can get one. Unfortunately, we are in a part of the World that getting a new tender is next to impossible. So the temporary patches will have to do for now.
Not mentioning anything about boat show. You not going this year? Kinda though if you were, this would have been,, your airport of choice.. with that grass growth, maybe Panama will be better..
We are attending the Annapolis Boat Show this year! I will post our booth times today. We hope to see you there! We are also up for 2 awards at the International Cruisers Awards show held there as well. Voting ends in 1 day so we need your help to win by voting!

Teal is so lucky. Before I became a Yorkie king, I was laid off from my company after 17 years. The day after the owners sold the company, the coffee fetching president laid me off. Of course he was fired after they found he had no value. His plan was to fire me, then bring me back, the senior technician, back and not pay me for flight time, overtime but certainly to pay me a meager wage for my 80 hour work week I provided. I ended up buying my first motor home and travelled from Seattle to Texas. I billed out 1000k a daily rate, which was less than what my former company charged. Anyway, I’d bring my now ex wife to come along, she wouldn’t drive the motor home, and when she did, she’d drive well on the shoulder. I told her to keep off the shoulder, as the driver gets to change the tire. Yeah that didn’t happen, but such an argument. You’re lucky the crew steps up and fixes s.
Wow, I had the two ladies reversed for the first minute of that scene around twelve minutes in. Is that matronly look on emma looks good but it also looks thirties. It doesn't help that her mom has a college freshmen then going in that video. With her diminutive heights and her babyface makup, she reads as thirteen going on twenty.
To easily clean off aquarium equipment I normally just throw everything into a bucket with strong bleach water. Just wait a few hours or leave it overnight. All the crud comes right off without scrubbing. This probably could help with the anchor chain.
According to Article 160 of Federal Penal Code, carrying a weapon in Mexico is unlawful and will lead to three years of jail time and a fine worth 360 days of your salary. The only exception to this rule is if you're a public servant on active duty and your work necessitates being armed.
I don't know why so many people buy those expensive crap balloon dinghies, most of us used aluminium ones, unless you spill copper anti fouling in them, they last for ever.
This is a refreshing change from other UA-cam channels. Keep sailing! Luv Ya.
Thank you! We just try to be ourselves and share our journey with you. Thanks for following!
Wow, thank you!

Two things in life you must have - duck tape and WD40 (and yes. It is duck tape)
I like the clip showing Emma when she was very young, how quickly they grow up!
Thankyou 😊

time for a new dinghy
Nice job on that repair crew.
Christmas 🎄 is just around the corner OMG Teal I love the New DINGHY that you bought for Lihn and Em it's beautiful mate 😉
Damn you're a good Man 😁😁😂😂
Love from The Land Down Under 😘 😘 😘
Amazing spirit to repair the dingy! A small power washer will keep your chain clean!
Nice fix on the dinghy. Finding glue on the street that worked is a real score.

Love the nod to Shawshank Redemption. Surely one of the bestest films ever made. As ever, thanks for sharing your journey with us. :)
And thanks for recognizing the reference!

Put a little music 🎸🎵🎶 sync'ed to Linh's foot movement on the pump and it's Rock n Roll time on Basic. 😄
Teal is so well organized and neat! love you guys, grettings grom Zagreb ⚓🌊♥️
Once you make it to NZ get the light weight OC Tender. We never had a dingy repair again. Planes easier too so we used a lot less fuel. The pockets in the sides rails keeps your snorkelling gear off the bottom too. Thanks for the video!
lol Emma and I were on the same page, I saw that seam and was thinking slap some duct tape on that! lol
If you anchor in the south bay of Acapulco.a short cab ride will get you to Costco.
Got to have a cheap 1800 psi electric power washer on board for the chain. 👌
I think you must invest in a small high-pressure washer. will sort out more than just the chain.
When you do replace your dinghy, I would recommend a 13" Boston Whaler (if you come across one). Our family has had the same one since 1978 ! This is a personal preference , of course. I hope your dinghy troubles are at an end even though you can fix anything. Safe journeys !
The town was good to you but the water in the lagoon wasn't. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
AH , the joys of boat life . Dinghies go flat and the marine life takes over your bottom ;) (ouch)
wow !! looks like that chain was under water for years ha ha ha !!!
Cool you kept me company while I finished laundry. ❤
Captain Teal, you can fix and repair almost anything. Good thing for sure. What a great family. God Bless 🐻🙏🇺🇸
I have the same dinghy and walker bay has a replacement tube for it. It is challenging but I was able to replace ours.
Now I know I’m old , seeing little Emma . Time for another juice box picture 😂😂😂😂
Thank you... John 5:24
OMG Emma in Episode 2 and NOW....wow! A little girl and now a young lady! Dinghy: "Should we rip it apart? ...Teal: NO!!" was funny.
Hi guys, wow can’t believe how small Emma was when you first started going yachting she’s grown into a beautiful young lady. Keep up the good work. Love your videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🇦🇺🏝️🧑🏾🦽🦘🐨🌏🐬
I hesitate to say this because I don't know anything about boating really, but you might look into a rigid dinghy like a whaly boat. They look safe and low maintenance to me.
I'm glade you liked my home town. It's the end of September and the heat and hummitiy is really high.
It is always nice to see this week's edition of Basik. At least you were in a good place to have a leaking dinghy. And as most of life, for every pro there is a con. Good luck with the anchor chain.
Thickened epoxy does the job on dinghy
Oddly enough, the beach featured at the end of Shawshank where Red meets up with Andy isnt even in Zihue or Mexico, its located in St Croix USVI.
Hmph ... who knew. Thanks for the info.
Nice repair Teal!
Teal needs to fabricate a chain wash system with powerwash and brushes to scrub the chain as it comes up
that will probably be after he finishes the new battery install :)
Have you seen the one on the HH88(Sketch to Sea), I was like, what-tha? Think it automatically turns on when the windlass weighs anchor. But honestly, isn't that what the crew is for.😅

I feel like it's been a while since we've seen Compass!
Time to get a pressure washer for the anchor chain. Thanks for the great videos!
Always something
Glue it and sell it. Love my aluminum hard dinghy.
YOOOOOO!!!!! Did you guys miss me? I have been traveling to Misawa and Iwakuni Japan for tennis tournaments and haven't had a chance to get caught up with my favorite sailing fam....
How do you zoom on your cat from satellite?
Looks like you guys could survive off the seafood clinging to the chain.

Kind of need an electric pressure washer. A couple thousand psi should clean that up.
safe travels
What? Lihn didn't suggest thickened epoxy>?
Probably no Tequila on board 🙂
Great video as always. I wonder if a pressure washer would work on the chain? Maybe it would mess up the coating. That chain looked crazy it looked like it had been in the water for months.
❤ ⛵ 👏 👏 👏
Great episode! Did you run into Andy and Red there? 😉 It’s never fun when your car gets a flat...on land or at sea. At least you can fix the flat yourself! Oh, and you should always be scrubbing your bottom daily! 😂
Time for a new dinghy.... RIB and sell the old one. 😁👍
We would love to. The problem is that finding one in this part of the World is nearly impossible.
I guess I'm in the camp that doesn't trust inflatables... I'll take a rigid dinghy any day. There are advantages and drawbacks to any solution.
Did you check out the waterfalls? And where are you now.
i wonder why Highfield or some other tender company does not step up their marketing game and supply this fine YT channel some product to display....
trying to find the video of the diesel heater installation part 1?
Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/z4srlT1EUg0/v-deo.html

Part 4 ua-cam.com/video/4WPiPhhMtQQ/v-deo.html
Think VALMEX , not hypalon or "cheap"PVC for your next dinghy. Welded seams will fail sooner rather than later, specially with over inflation.
NEW HIFIELD Boat.
All the UA-cam big channels have them. They must get a really good deal! So can you😊❤
Do you suppose that having that dark fabric over the dinghy tubes isn't causing it to overheat in that full sun all day and cause the delamination?
Duct tape = Red Green = Duct tape (and now, Emma?) LOL
Guess it will be next week for the battery info - So how long does it take to fully charge your batteries (with new bank) and how long does that last without a generator recharge? Is a new dingy in the plans or like me will you keep the old vehicle as long as possible?

Hoping all that growth means it's Sea Creature Heaven and not due to nasty pollutants!❤✌🖖
Unfortunately those two have learned to live together.
Looks like you need to invest into a small high pressure washer.....
It is a good thing you weren't anchored there for more than a week. It would probably like chipping concrete off the driveway.

Emma has the answer… duct tape and of course, tie wire.
EEEEKKK!!!!! The condition of that Bridle is bad enough to put you off marriage for life.
Phil would say: that's a lot of damage use Flex seal
Tell Emma that they had to kill a lot of ducks to make that duck tape
Actually, considering the age of the dinghy, your last repair lasted pretty well. It's just tired.
Go to a tire shop
dinghy chaps to protect it from UV
We have had them on for the past 2 years. It only slowed the dying process down but did not eliminate it.
@@OnboardLifestyle Two years out of 16? Damage was already done, eh?
Wow, I had the two ladies reversed for the first minute of that scene around twelve minutes in. Is that matronly look on emma looks good but it also looks thirties.
It doesn't help that her mom has a college freshmen then going in that video. With her diminutive heights and her babyface makup, she reads as thirteen going on twenty.
Emma ducktape ur mom she speaks alot it's time for u to take over 😂 love ur family 💕 have a great day ❤

Why do people buy inflatable dingy's?
We like them because they are easy on the mother ship. Never have to worry about bumps and dings.
..ZeroJet next????🤔
Completely deflated in the morning? Sometimes I know how the dinghy feels!
Duck tape can fix everything except stupid. But it can muffle stupid's sound!
Is a reason why you don't get an electric pressure washer.
Bob Dylan did say it best, didn’t he?
