What do you do in Texas when the cooler weather rolls in? You do boat repairs and go sailing. But at night, when it gets chilly, you make chili! This week we fix our busted up outhaul sheave, make a pot of buffalo chicken chili, and then go sailing.

This week we get our mainsail repaired and reinstalled. But when we are ready to sail, mother nature gets in the way. So instead we ride the lightning, eat tacos, and make some s’mores. Hopefully we have better luck next time.

This week we are back to sailing. Except, of course, we run into a few issues. First our holding tank was full and since we have no way of monitoring it, by the time we realize its full, it is much too late. So we had to have our first pump out. Also, our mainsail blows a couple of slides but we are able to avoid disaster and get back to the slip.

In this episode, we have to bail on a sailing adventure due to crew illness. Instead, thanks to a reminder from LifeAtSixKnots, we revisit our mystery hole in the v-berth which we had completely forgotten about. What mysteries lurk in the mystery hole this time? Watch and find out.

This week it was time to repair our squishy steering quadrant cover panel. The wood in the panel was rotten making it a safety hazard. One solid hop on it and your foot would be in the steering linkage and that’s no good. So we take the panel back to HQ and proceed to dive head first into fiberglass work, which we know absolutely nothing about. After the repair, we reinstall the panel on the boat and get ready for our next sailing adventure.

This week we finalized our chart plotter install by mounting the transducer in wax on the inside hull of the boat, we test our marine stove’s oven by cooking up some delicious buffalo mini chicken sandwiches, and we go for a sail on a beautiful early fall day.

In this episode we install our GPS/chart plotter so we don’t get lost, which requires some grunting, stretching, removing a LOT of pre-existing cable ties, and dealing with a veritable bird nest of wires. Also, since it is Oktoberfest time we grill up some bratwurst, which naturally we wash down with some Texas made Mexican lagers.

This was supposed to be part of the next video which would include the unboxing, install, and demonstration but it would just make the video too long so we just made this part separate. A little boring but perhaps useful to someone, so here it is.

In this episode, we give a quickie tour of the boat so people who are unfamiliar with sailboats can see the layout and the size. This week’s cooking montage features some flame grilled burgers with beer mustard.

svSomeday is back with a new episode. This time, we find some mystery water in a mystery hole, we clean out the bilge, run into a slight engine problem, and then go sailing anyway… Oh, and there’s Frito Pie!
