good video We live in Los Osos the back bay of Morro Bay .I've never seen the bay so rough! better you than me out on it. I get sick on Super Tankers & I use to Fix them.

Looks like you did an awesome job on setting your boat-home up the way the like it ..i think its great...very impressive

$40 a night? WOW and I thought the BVIs were expensive.

Video was suggested after my weekly Sitka video. Glad I found another fun sailing channel.

Make sure you come prepared with essentials like sunscreen, hats and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.

3:50 do you know how much tax payers pay to dredge the bay so you can boat into it? be glad the cost is so cheap

Welcome to morro bay. Im glad you got to stay safe here. I remember seeing your boat on its side.

Yelapa is a small fishing village located on the west coast of Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta. It is a great destination for those looking for peace and connection with nature.

👍

Exploring Yelapa by cruise is not only a relaxing trip but also an opportunity to enjoy the wild beauty and learn about the local culture.

We will never forget flying in from our travels in Gautemala and immediately jumping aboard Avocet for an adventure to Yelapa. Couldn't be happier life lined up the way it did that cruising season and we were able to make memories to last a lifetime. We love you, our Cheoylee family, until next time you three crazy coconuts ❤⛵

Avocet is a really nice yacht. I do love the interior. Very Gentlemanly...

👍👍👍

You’d need to Alodine (conversion coating)it before you paint it.

Love this episode!! ♥♥♥ Looks like it was a lot of fun!

Looks like so much fun!!! Can’t wait to join in a sail as well one day when we catch back up!

A good design but highly over complex build which makes the cost what it is.

That is the ocean. Flat seas are boring. i am really enjoying your Great videos. What app are you using on your phone at 7:58?

Wooo!!! My fav 4!!! Lucky to call these 4 family!! You salty sailors !!! ❤

Woooooooo Sitka!

How much space did you leave between the deck and the bottom of the bulwark ?

Very niiiice

We hope you enjoyed this one! Please remember to subscribe to our pals @sailingsitka to spread the love for the #CheoyLee family ❤

She 👁️ it y’all … Looked to me like the ole Chinese dragon Cheoy Lee was traveling 15 knots and if the line Hadn’t broke the ole girl would have just soldiered on like it wasn’t nothing .. I mean what a bad Ass .. Oh, one more tidbit bit .. Marissa You need to give your momma a big hug because that that grown ass woman don’t birth nothing but perfection .. Sheww wee it’s Hot !! Sexy lil red riding hood .. lol.. Get you that one piece Farrah Fawcett made famous and you’ll sell a million posters quick .. Strike that pose .. You can take that to the bank of life and cash it .. Golden . Tell that stud of a husband you married ole man Romeo said the best sipping whisky to come out of Kentucky is George Dickell .. Y’all have fun now ..

well until they do something about homelessness what does any state expect. Its technically illegal to live in any trailer in a back yard but in my somewhat rural town in California many do! Some are just extended family with no place to go. AND the jobs here are part time but full time workers even with the the new minimum wage at $16 cant afford any place to live. And minimal at that because of price gouging! its not inflation. Rat trap apartments went from $600 or so studios to $2000 yes two thousand. Thats more than 3 times and min wage only doubled??? Milk and eggs are $8 per gallon and a dozen in my town??!! that was covid prices! Never changed! They just need to make rules. We put in water, sewer, electricity for our trailer because its over by a workshop I use for sewing across the acre lot. Its my bathroom but Ive slept in it during fires as the best sealed windows. And its overflow for family visiting. They approved up to 4 granny cottages for our area depending on lot size. Everyone is laughing. The rich homes in the hills dont want rentals in their back yards! The people in town their homes are rom 20s, 40s etc. and they dont have enough bank value to get one construction loan let alone 4???! It costs $250K to build a granny cottage! The homes are worth less than $200K? And at that price you'd never break even on monthly mortgage due either!

Congratulations you replaced a stick,a rope, and a bucket for only $500.

Yeah, the winds here have definitely been horrendous and relentless this last couple of years. I've lived here in M.B. for 25 years and never remember such weather. You should be proud of your abilities as sailors. Shows why blue water sailing is a young person's passtime.

If you showed it in action longer, could’ve actually seen something. Especially with the level. The video is not long enough on the level to really notice it.

this is a good product for my non-sailors friends. Not actuall sailiors

Thank you so much for this video! This is just what I was looking for. First, I just want to clarify what I saw in your video regarding your installation. You teed the saltwater feed from an existing line and did not have to use a dedicated thruhull/seacock. You installed a 20-micron pre-filter in addition to the 5-micron pre-filter, which is what I would want to do for the exact same reasons you specified. Second, I want to ensure that my understanding of the Rainman unit is correct. One of the great appeals to me of the Rainman is that there isn’t a requirement for an initial “boost pump” because the unit is self-priming to 6 feet. I didn’t see you install one either. It seems that Rainman markets their watermakers as using just the 5-micron pre-filter. So, having said all that, I have a couple of questions regarding your installation, if I may. 1) Have you had any issues with the pressure pump pulling the seawater through both of the pre-filters (not due to clogging)? 2) Is there anything about the installation that you would change after having lived with it for a while? Thank you so much for any insights you might be able to share!

Wishing you all the best with your amazing adventures @sailing avocet - thanks for using savvy navvy 🧭

Looks like an amazing trip @sailingavocet - we're glad you're taking us with you! 😊

We're happy to help you navigate your adventures around the world, thanks for sharing @sailingavocet! 🙌🏼

Awesome 👏🏻

Interesting. Very similar to a Sweat Lodge.

I’d have to give that a pass, love yur vids.

👍👍👍

What a load of crap!!

There are many ways to pursue personal development, what's important is that you do it conscessly. Impressed with your new found "Realizations" keep it up. ❤

Well that is not an everyday experience. I knew I was subscribed to you for a reason.

We have lived in San Luis Obispo county 40+ years & have never seen Morro Bay that rough! I guess we'll have to drive over sometime during winter storms. Glad to see how well you handled all of the difficulty. Well done. At least Morro Bay is a better harbor than either San Luis Bay or San Simeon. Either of those would have been much worse. (I feel.)

Do your boat buddies have a KZfaq channel??

This is the stupidest title I’ve ever seen for a sailing channel. Nice click bait, no one goes to jail in SF

It's funny to be watching your sailing videos, from my own sailboat which I was inspired to buy after watching SV Prism videos. I had seen a few sailing channels but it was the Hans Christien 33T that made me really fall in love sailboats and channels like yours that made me want to sail. So thanks to Avocet and Prism for making me leave dry land for a life on the water and giving up a 30 year IT career to work in a marine store just so I could learn more about boats.

bucket + chain + rope = free flopstopper!

Great video, thank you. Regarding your AC vs DC comment, this does not perform the efficiently much, rather AC makes more sens on larger system and DC on smaller. For anyone in the process of choosing av water maker, I recommend doing the necessary research, just as you have done. Still I would like to clarify, that generally you have four parameters you can balance to your situation: Production rate (how fast do you need to produce water), energy efficiency (how many ah/wh does I take to produce a certain amount of water), powering method (AC, DC, dedicated engine, main engine) and finally price of the system, that will be influenced greatly by the other three parameters. As an example if you run a generator regularly, you could choose a high output AC powered water maker with low efficiency at a reasonable price. On the other end if you want to run it from a limited source of renewable energy, you might choose an efficient unit with energy recovery and run it from DC power. Your water maker is somewhere in between, as it is low output and does not have energy recovery, and as such would be suitable for a situation where you have a decent amount of solar and/or low water consumption. A system with energy recovery would make the same amount of water for 1/3 to 1/2 the power consumption (i.e. a Schenker 30lph would draw around 10A), but the unit might be double the price to purchase. Happy sailing⛵

bon journee
