Welcome aboard Sailing Tengai! 🌊
Welcome aboard Sailing Tengai! 🌊 I'm Sage, and this is my first mate, Petra. Together, we're two world travelers who have traded our backpacks for boat shoes as we navigate the high seas and explore the stunning coast of Mexico. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the challenges of boat maintenance and face the thrill (and nerves) of taking our sailboat out for the first time!
Here’s what you can expect:
🚤 Manual Bilge Pump Repair: After discovering a rip in our 1989 sailboat's manual bilge pump hose, we dive into some DIY boat maintenance. Follow along as we trace the hose through tight spaces, measure, and troubleshoot issues.
🔧 Upgrading the Automatic Bilge Pump: The automatic bilge pump, our first line of defense against water on board, decides to take a break—so we dive into troubleshooting. Watch as we navigate through the process of installing a new Johnson pump with a float switch for a safer, more reliable setup.
⚓ First Time Out: Nerves are high as I take the helm for the first time! From an accidental 360-degree spin in the marina to a successful sail around the bay, this is an adventure you won’t want to miss.
🐟 Cooling Off in Banderas Bay: After a successful sail, we drop anchor and let the crew cool off with a swim in the beautiful water. It’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy the cruising lifestyle.
Stay tuned for the next episode, where Petra tackles a sewing machine to create custom winch covers, and we invite our first guest aboard Tengai for a trip to Yelapa. Hit the subscribe button and ring the bell so you don’t miss it!
