East Coast Here We Come! Ep. 13

We have had quite the trip so far trying to get our sailboat to the Bahamas! When we blew out both left side tires and broke both rims, we had to pull the trailer across the freeway to get out of traffic. The NEW u-bolts we got back in Oregon took a hard beating and practically wore away the nuts! There wasn't a trailer repair shop in the area and we didn't want to back track an hour or so to find one, so we kept driving, hoping we would find one once we got to New Mexico. We were lucky to find one and the people there were extremely nice! They got to work on our trailer right away and had us back on the road in no time! The rest of the drive to the East Coast was pretty smooth sailing! We had to tie the fender on the trailer a couple of times because it kept falling off and the rope kept getting cut on the sharp edges. We finally decided to pull the fender off completely and save our tires from the beating they were getting. The road conditions in the southern states have been awful! We never imagined they would be so rough to drive on! We came across HUGE pot holes the size of frying pans countless times and ended up blowing out 3 tires and breaking 3 rims all together! The construction areas usually made for narrow lanes with no shoulder to rely on. This was difficult to maneuver through with our sloppy steering that never got fixed back in Utah. What shocked us the most was the fact that the semi truck drivers cut us off countless times! You would think they would know better than anyone to make sure to give the vehicle you are passing enough room before cutting back in front of the them, BUT NO! A lot of the times the trucks would try to pass us while still partially in our lane! We are lucky the side of our boat didn't get destroyed by the passing trucks! We decided that it would be best to drive to South Carolina to visit one of Randall's friends, so that we could leave a few of our valuable belongings with him while we are gone on our Bahamas trip. This made for a longer drive, but totally worth it, to see him and his family! That will be in the next video! ********************************************************************** THANK YOU for watching our videos and for SUBSCRIBING to our YouTube channel!
