I remember those crazy storm nights. We lost power and our lines were starting to break. We thought we were going to float away to Japan and were okay with that.
I have been watching a lot of your videos and I am wondering about something. With heating the boat I wonder why you have no insulation and head liner in the bridge area. it would seem that this would be essential to keeping the boat warm.
Good point. It's because the wiring isn't done there yet. There are also two leaks that we can't figure out! One we know how to fix when the weather gets better and the other has us confuddled! Until the wiring is done, spotlight mounted, and leak found - there is no point doing the headliner. However - Blaine did mention it today - he was really cold! Cheers Janis
@@OnboardTangaroa I am an old Great Lakes Sailor that has swallowed the anchor and retired to southern Saskatchewan so the only sailing I do now is on You Tube. The boat I owned was a 7 ton wooden Cutter that was built in 1947. Her name was Oneida II. She is gone now but she is still in the Ships Registry. Her home port was Montreal.
Wow! What a great history - I myself am a Great Lakes Sailor but out of the Thunder Bay area. Our family had a 19' Matilda (sailboat) that we would sail around there and across to Isle Royale. We have a cottage behind the Sleeping Giant in Silver Islet. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Cheers Janis
@@OnboardTangaroa I sailed mostly Georgian Bay and the North Channel. Because I lived 50 miles east of Parry Sound in Kearney I also did the Muskoka Lakes and Lake Nippising. All great sailing. I had a 5 ton dump truck and a float trailer with a cradle so I actually had a 7 ton ship that I could trail but only once per season. Where I put it I had it for the whole season. I owned the ship from 1984 until 1998. She was Old an Tired and it would have taken more than she was worth to bring her back so she was scrapped.
That is an issue when boats get older. One of the reasons we couldn't say no to Tangaroa. We knew she would take alot of work but she has such personality and we loved her lines - and her history.
Specs for the draft are 5.5 ft but we are likely closer to 5 currently. Seemed good where we were never saw much less than 5 ft under the keel. I could see how one could get in trouble in there though. Certainly a lot of very shallow areas.
From a Master Mariner all Shipsincl all sailing ships WW. When you go to sea, Yr ship should be ready for sea, and not ready fore a tools and not secured supplies delivery off trash in Yr accomodation or engine room. Very unseaworthy. Shame on You. But succes on Your voyage to Japa via the North route. I will keep following You. JaapJonkers Dutch Capt.
Well, if we waited till everything was ready we would never go anywhere. There is nothing unsecure that has a chance of causing any catastrophic damage or risk to life and limb. I have seen plenty of oceangoing ships that have some things fly around in the accommodations in rolly seas. It happens. When we leave on our trip all of the big things will be secure. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there!
hey fella, you have to love them for their raw demeanour of giving it a go. I do believe that their plans in securing bulk items to bulkheads will come in time as previously mentioned in previous videos. the reality of their challenges is so much better than watching rich how-to-do's sailing and producing seeing-that-again videos. This hard REAL Raw stuff and they don't blister on about the ordeal of it all. Mister Master Mariner, between these two people they more than likely have as much or maybe more sea time as you. At least they are "DOING IT" I wish I was. One day soon I will.
What a great into!!! You guys rock!❤
Thanks. I hope you became a subscriber..
Come along for our journey. Cheers. Janis

Well, if you are going to end up anywhere Japan wouldn't be so bad.
Excellent video
Glad you liked it!

I guess not didn’t know where you guys were thought you were at home
We have to travel every once in a while to stay sane.
Why is it ALL @ once your videos say can't be played in the background?
I am not sure about that. I will let Janis know but I don't think there is anything she will be able to do.
Love use
Love you too Uncle Chuck!
Tod Inlet!
We are usually close to Tod Inlet but this was in Sucia Island in the San Juans.
SO WHAT'S YOUR DRAFT? THEY DON'T CALL IT SHALLOW BAY FOR NOTHING. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE IN THERE WITH A 6' DRAFT.
Specs for the draft are 5.5 ft but we are likely closer to 5 currently. Seemed good where we were never saw much less than 5 ft under the keel. I could see how one could get in trouble in there though. Certainly a lot of very shallow areas.
Hope you sleep better
It was a rough night!
You could’ve went and hid
Unfortunately we were a bit penned in. Nothing to do but wait it out.
