Episode 7 Installing sails and rigging + our 1st cruise on Nehan up to the Columbia River fuel dock
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- For the first time Nehan is running off her own fuel tanks! We celebrate by dressing her up with her man sail, jib and riggins and cruise up the Columbia River to the fuel dock to fill up her tanks since they are fixed and no longer leaking!
Shocked with ourselves - We leave the docks flawlessly!
Also, added new jib sheets and had to repair our jib furler that needed to be adjusted.
Overall a great day aboard Nehan.
0:15 Right great work!
There is a trick I learned when I first started sailing 40 plus yrs ago!
When you are working on decks edge get a large umbrella,open it and tie it below where you are working and it will catch whatever you my drop, instead of it going in the water it will drop into the umbrella!
Great job again friends!
Cheers

That's brilliant!! Hopefully I'll remember to do that next time
We do have an umbrella on board too! Wish we had your tip when we did this project! Keep the tips coming!
Ps. Episode 5, we also learned our lesson of putting down a towel so we don't loose things into the bilge "place of no return"

Aw thank you! *Virtual Blush* :)
Thanks that is very nice of you to say. We do make a great team and I remind him everyday :)
I enjoyed the video. I’m looking forward to watching you guys sail.
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying it. A lot more projects to complete before we are fully ready to head down the Columbia River, our the Columbia River bar then we go sailing. Stay tuned!
🎉🎉🎉 ain’t no stopping you now!
Well an upcoming episode does show where we come dead in our tracks. Stay tuned!
You guys go! Good work getting that boat moving again.
Thanks! We tried very hard to get her going again :)
Good job, you guy's did great, learn by doing, that's how I did it!
Haha yes we definitely feel like we stepped straight to the deep end but that is the best way Jason and I learn. Just jump in and figure it out as we go!
A beautiful boat, and beautiful couple. I’ve enjoyed watching all your videos; congratulations on getting to where you are in your journey. 👍
Aww thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos! It's fun sharing with you!
Stay tuned! Much more to come.
You can do it!
Everyone needs experience and the only way is to do it!
Thanks James! I definitely feel crazy some days for jumping in, but then I remember that it's a learning adventure and its ok not to know that eventually we'll get a hang of it :)
Just came across you guys , beautiful boat. Your both very smart , quick learners with loads of perseverance. Looking good!
Welcome to Maritza & Jasons shenanigans aboard Nehan 😁 we are committed to learn 'as quickly as we can' to get Nehan home.
LETS GOOOO
Did the previous owner say if the depth sounder was calibrated to read depth under the keel, or depth from where the sensor is located? Most folks put in an offset to take into account the difference between the sensor's location on the hull and the length to the bottom of the keel. That way the "depth" you read is what you have under the keel before you scrape bottom and you don't need to subtract the distance from the sensor to the keel. Also, if you don't know this already, the rudder's effect on steering usually starts around 2 knots and above so if you go too slow the response of the boat to the rudder movements can be real sluggish due to the full keel you have.
Really enjoyed that! You guys are going to be fine. But it might be a good idea to consider having an experienced sailor come aboard to show you how to sail. Good luck.
Very cool. I was on the edge of my seat and I'm not even sure why...must be the Mom in me!
I was nervous watching the boat leave the dock for the first time lol
22:05 I do… miss the beard Rest in peace
Hey! No spoiler alerts!
Nice shakedown cruise Ti get fuel
Yes it was perfect. Nerve wrecking thought! Glad it went as "smooth" as it went.

6:42 lol!
No kidding!
Have fun getting outside at Astoria. That can be fun. Great place to stop and look around if You have the time, too.
Yes we plan to stop in Astoria on our way to our new home port of Humboldt Bay in Eureka, California Humboldt Bay. Stay tuned for our Astoria adventures
@@sailingnehan Will do. Take some Video, Yeah? I haven't been there for twenty years, I am on the east coast now in an old Cheoy Lee 32, on the hard for the winter. I have a 7 hour drive to get up to be on the boat, the logistics are a real pain. ( As You know). Best of Luck. Enjoy!
Congratulations! Looking forward to your voyage down the coast. Are you intending on sailing Nehan back to your home?
Thanks! We have a few more projects to complete before Nehan is fully ready. Stay tuned!
Excited you guys are all following our journey!
Wow, we keep our boat about a mile east of you in Tomahawk bay. Be careful and stay in the channels as the river went way down this year and has a few shoals. Plus keep an eye out for logs floating down stream, the rains have started and that means logs
Oh wow thats awesome we were so close! We were at the docks right behind the Holiday Inn under the I-5 Bridge.
Indeed! We kept seeing huge logs floating down river and knew we'd have to keep our eyes peeled! We did have a few close calls we were able to dodge but got too close foe comfort!
@@sailingnehan we do a lot of sailing just east and you always have a log lookout going on. This year we will start looking for a larger boat.
Nice work hope the furler line is long enough now. I had the same problem.
Oh no! Did you solve the problem like we did?!
@@sailingnehan yes I did but then the furling line was to short when I unfurled the big jenny. Solved the problem with a longer line. Doing so can cause a problem though if there isn't room on the drum. Have fun TnT
Just found you,subscribed to see how it goes 😮
Glad you enjoy it. Maritza is putting a ton of work into these videos. We really started it just for our parents. We can't believe other folks are actually watching our dumb butts
Thanks for subscribing! We are excited to share all of our experience. We definitely don't know what we are doing and just going with the flow. We make a lot of dumb mistakes haha so hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes.
I dont know but is the red rope layed out right ? new subscriber
We weren't sure ourselves. We did end up changing it. Then changed back to how you saw it. What do you think?
seems like there would be a lot of chaffing that way and the green rope went thru a block to prevent that .@@707getbent6
We do have a block more forward but it didn't seem right. We also ran the sheets inside the standing rigging but that didn't seem right either. You think in should be ran inside the standing rigging?
:)
