My grandpa was a farmer, he died at 102 in 1997. He always drank hot coffee in the summer. He said it actually cool him! He also wore long sleeve shirts, about a size bigger than what he normally wore. He said that it helped with evaporation

We spent 2 summers in the Sea. Never had air conditioning but big awnings and good ventilation. One boat's depth sounder measured 85F water temp. The next day the ocean seemed way hotter. We asked how hot? 85F they said.... turns out the depth sounder temp sensor maxed out at 85F!

As long as your buying unwashed fresh eggs, you should try Water Glassing them so they stay good for up to a year without having to refrigerate them. You just submerge clean, unwashed eggs in a solution of pickling lime and filtered water. This creates a high alkaline environment that keeps the eggs from losing moisture.

Iced coffee! Oh I gotta get back into that! Especially with the blend of beans I've been grinding hmmm, you give me ideas. Hi guys!!! It's early Monday morning and after a little wake n bake I tossed in your video. An ease into my holiday. I live on Holladay St. I kid you not.😅 How are you liking BC? Such a nice break from that brutal hot air. My guess is you're looking at it with a sailor's eye, there are spectacular passages to be made, all the way to Alaska! Am I wrong? Back to the vid, I have a real problem with excessive heat, my body shuts down and it sure starts with emotions. I can identify with that. AC is an absolute in my life. Or that beautiful sail you guys enjoyed! I love the logo on the new headsail. It really pops !! It's good to see you buddy boating again. It just helps to "fair the lines" sort of say.

You need to use more tension on both your mainsail and jib luff. Reasons… when you see the scallops off the slides on the main this is straining the fabric on the bias hurting your sail, and loads the eyelets. Using more luff tension also keeps the draft forward, easing leech tension, making less heeling force. For the jib, tension on the luff keeps draft forward making the leech more free and smoothing the entry profile. I agree, sailing is what makes life feel good.

This is such a sweet comment! Im so glad you found us :) Bill learned how to sail growing up from his Grandfather. his family had a Hunter 27 and they sailed it on the Long Island Sound in NY. We never made that video but have talked about it a lot ... We quit our jobs in NYC and left to sail 7 years ago, we started living on the boat for summers in nyc! When we bought Calico Skies we thought we'd just be sailing her in and around NY but then started converting her slowly to a cruiser. Once we quit our jobs we sailed for a couple years before we ran out of money and started the channel 😂 So we didnt film from the very beginning which makes things a bit more complicated. One of our videos recently - the Before and After transformation has a little mini back story in it. Thank you for watching our older videos thats pretty sweet! thanks for reaching out, we're super happy to have you here :)

It was great to see you anchored at Gonzaga Bay even with the difficulties of chubascos and bottom junk. I'm going to guess (and I could be way off here) that the crap around the anchor was tumbleweed remnants. I camped on the beaches around Gonzaga for many years and frequently saw the west winds in the Spring howl through there and push hundreds of enormous tumbleweeds (and sometimes tents) offshore and into the bay. How were the margartias at Alfonsina's?

Great to see you sailing! 😊 what type of generator do you use? We just got a new Honda 3200 suitcase gen it’s a inverter type. The neutral and ground are not bonded on inverter generators So we get the reverse polarity light on the AC panel? We are trying to solve the problem. Thanks for all the work you put into your channel! We always look forward to watching your videos! Have fun! Be safe! 🍻🇺🇸

we have a honda 2200 and the reverse polariity light does come on as well. Happens to other folks I've talked with as well. Doesn't seem like its caused any issues

Is that black pumice rock that's making a new beach @11:15? There are lots of volcanoes in that area. Be safe!

Do you have enough solar to charge the batteries full early in the day then turn on the AC while you have enough sun to not need the batteries?

Depending on the day yes :) If we need to make water or cook with induction/air fryer/instapot maybe not. Or sometimes we used more power overnight

Well hello young lady it was good to see you back in a bikini, things had to be getting a little better. You still looked a little tired in your eyes but Bill did look less worried than before. Hope you are healing well and looking forward to see ya'll back out adventuring.

How’s the diving there? Put the AC on and spend an hour underwater. Cool yourself and come back to a cooled boat. Donate for a Dream

Yes thats how we survived. Some spots were better than others, overall kind of average. We didnt get far enough south for great water clarity

You know it's hot when air conditioning becomes a necessity rather than a luxury...
