Why Won’t Our Windlass Work? Too Many Boat Bugs!| Travel Life with Proteus Rising | Ep. 30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV3L7Ng5oAQ&feature=youtu.be

In this episode (30), We continue the boat jobs trying to get her to where she needs to be for our shakedown cruise and sailing lessons coming up very quickly. Greg figures out the windlass and the issue with our bow nav light. Additionally, we make a visit to West Marine and the inaugural Anacortes Boat Show.

In this episode (28)…

With SV Elli safely in the water, we start to move onto our boat and ready her for sailing to her future home port in Seattle. However, we have to stop Shake-Down Cruise Prep to experience Senior-Year Baseball with our son, but then we’re back at it when we discover the head has stopped working.

The long hard winter of work is over and we’re finally getting SV Elli off the hard, into the water, and to a temporary slip.

Chapter 20: Drive, Boat Work, Repeat! Proteus Rising (Travel Life) – Book One (Buy A Boat)

In this episode…

We settle into a pattern of drive, boat work, drive, repeat! All during some hellacious winter weather. Spring is fast approaching, but not soon enough, even though baseball season is in full swing. We are getting to know SV Elli better and finding all kinds of things to “tighten up” on her. Additionally, we’re learning we have a long way to go to “lighten up” on the household front.

Chapter 17 – No Room In The Marina! Proteus Rising (Travel Life) – Book One (Buy A Boat)

In this episode, we learn that we’re behind the power curve in finding a marina for SV Elli so we can finish our refit. Finding space in the greater Seattle area, which is called the recreational boating capital of the nation, is proving to be a seemingly impossible mission. So we also start to look for moorage up near Vancouver, B.C. where we’ll be cruising extendedly for a few years while our son is at University. We also update you on our plans and introduce you to a couple of our sailing mentors.

Chapter 16: Difficult Conversations! Proteus Rising (Travel Life) | Book One (Buy A Boat)

https://youtu.be/Eb2MWt8Qnko

In this episode, we have some difficult conversations with our youngest son about this five-year plan to sell the house, buy a boat, and travel nonstop. We also have to do some deep problem solving regarding where to keep the boat, since we went a little backwards and bought the boat before we sold the house, and we still are attached to 9-to-5 jobs.

Chapter 15: Snowy Boat Jobs! Proteus Rising (Travel Life) Book 1 (Buy A Boat)

In this episode, we are fighting geography and weather to push forward to get our gal in the water as soon as possible. However, each job reveals more work to do. There may be cussing. There may be beer. At least there’s some fun.
