Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse… The other water tank on our sailboat has now burst, flooding the boat and costing us even more precious drinking water. And the tank we spent days fixing? Still leaking. All the water we just carried barefoot from a creek—70L by kayak—is vanishing fast. Life off-grid at sea isn’t always paradise.
We are a New Sailing Couple Preparing To Install Windlass! This is one short video of several that show part of the process. In this video, Chris is dry-fitting the Windlass, which is fitting before any sealant supplies. He cut two large holes--(a 4" and a 3"), for the chain and the windlass. He also drilled 3/8" mounting holes. Our deck was 5" thick--which is exceptionally THICK! He treated the holes with epoxy to prevent water intrusion. If you dig our journey as a new sailing couple, learning to sail, buying a Sceptre 41, getting ready to sail and launching, we would love you to follow along: Join us on our website at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Or on our Instagram Channel: https://www.instagram.com/writerjacks/ Or for another windlass installation video, click here: https://youtube.com/shorts/Sx7oWQS4Keo
