DAY 3: Are We Even Still Going North? | The Plan B vs Plan A Episode

DAY 3 — and the emotional weather might be stronger than the Gulf of Alaska. Today we sat down in the wheelhouse to give you a real update… and things got real real. Between Scott wiring up Autopilot 2.0 (and now 3.0), the new Simrad radar system, a wheelhouse full of black boxes and broken wires, and Audrey trying to figure out if Christmas in Prince William Sound is actually possible… let’s just say the “18 Day Challenge” is officially in plot-twist territory. Are we making it north? Is Plan A still Plan A? Did Plan B just become the favorite?? …And why do we accidentally keep talking when the camera is “off”? 😅 This video includes: • Raw honesty about the crossing • Real conversations about safety, timing, weather, and family • The hilarious tension of two people who REALLY want the same thing… but not in the same way • Updates on the new navigation system, radar, and autopilot • Big questions about winter storms, kids, Christmas, and timelines • A growing mountain of boat projects • And YOU GUYS voting in the comments on which plan makes sense This is boat life. Not curated. Not polished. Just two humans trying to pull off something big with an 80ft steel motor sailor, five kids, winter weather, and a deadline that’s coming fast. Stick around. Things are getting interesting. 📍 CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Day 3 — Wheelhouse chaos 00:39 The beard, the boat, and the tension 01:20 Autopilot 2.0 & the new Simrad system 02:30 Radar upgrades + Dave’s Welding shoutout 03:40 Autopilot 3.0 arrives 04:15 Talking about crossing the Gulf in December 05:20 Audrey’s love for Prince William Sound 06:40 Did we tell EVERYONE the plan already? 07:30 Realizing the timeline might be impossible 09:00 Emotional updates + nervous system truths 10:30 What’s more important: the crossing or Christmas with kids? 12:20 Safety, weather windows, and the growing list 13:40 Is Plan B actually… better? 15:00 Forecasting, miracles, and the 18-day pressure 17:00 Plan A vs Plan B — which one even is which? 20:00 The emotional storm intensifies 22:00 Boat life vs boat stress 24:00 Why the heart wants certainty 26:00 Could the universe still open the window? 27:00 Supporting each other through the stress 28:30 Reading your comments + kid updates 29:40 Wrapping up — and what we still don’t know
