hey guys

welcome back to sv basic it's been a

really fun past couple of weeks we've

been doing the nice weather

last you guys saw us we were in venetia

yeah

actually venetia was a really

surprisingly nice town

we didn't expect it because we didn't

actually anticipate going there

but it was it was just it was really

pretty

it was nice and clean and the people

there are so

friendly i especially love the buildings

yeah

also they have great donuts

okay so right before we leave we decided

to treat ourselves to these mini donuts

that they make fresh here every morning

and it's called the double rainbow

donuts so

this is just a fun treat for us this is

not something that we typically do

but obviously there is a reason why

there's a line out the door all the time

so really excited to see what they come

up with

cannot wait to eat these

i don't know where yours are but these

are mine

so once we secured our haul out date

we had you know a little bit of time to

go play up in the delta so we left

benicia

and we figured we'd head towards sassoon

bay

and enjoy some of the nice warm waters

well emma thinks it's warm it was warmer

but

i liked it but she was the only one in

but she spent hours in there she had

i think you had a good time yeah it was

fun i i personally

am a little scared of water that i can't

see the bottom of

so on our little trip

it was not too far it's about eight

miles from uh benicia

up to susum bay and then we went up into

the bay

and we had to go under uh one

train bridge that was that was

interesting

are you a little nervous

yeah i'm nervous look at this we have

a 61-foot stick on this boat and the

vertical clearance

is 70 feet we have a four foot whip

antenna

that gives us about five feet of

clearance

but it just doesn't look right does it

it looks too short

okay i kicked on the engines just to uh

just in case just in case

we should be fine they would have said

something already at this point

well you gotta trust the charts the

chart's called 70 feet of uh vertical

clearance

okay that's one down two more to go i'm

not worried about the third one

i'm not either it's just the second one

look at this old bridge this is the rail

the railroad bridge

it does not look like it's gonna make it

doesn't

crash we did it

okay let's go oh my gosh that was weird

that was the worst feeling

okay

holy cow that was awesome

so as our haulout date got closer we

decided to leave

sassoon bay and start working our way

closer

to the haul out facility

[Music]

that means heading up the napa river but

as we entered the napa river lynn

noticed this

slight vibration in our port

engine and we didn't know what it was we

were a day

early to head into napa so we pulled

into vallejo

for the night and tried to figure things

out

[Music]

man she's getting good good job

how's the water pretty good actually

is it chilly yeah but it's good with a

wetsuit

i just measured it 70.4 degrees

that's good that's good for you but i'm

a little scared i hate cold water

here i'm gonna i'm gonna put the ladder

down so i'm not jumping in i'm gonna eat

myself man

what do you think don't be a chicken

just do it

i don't see you jumping in i am a

chicken

i'm scared of the cold water okay i can

do this it's not too bad

okay go find out what's happening with

our um with our prop

i'm gone

let's i'm scared to dip my arms

okay just go all the way don't be a baby

okay 70 degrees

okay i could do this

you you're crazy girl

i'm just oh he's short of breath it's so

[Music]

chilly

this will be funny because you can

barely go down

you just float you just you're going

ready

super graceful

it's a bunch of plastic wrap through all

the prop

you're right i am right huh okay i'll go

down to free it

okay

okay i'm not gonna be here long

can i you can if you want yeah i think i

could

[Music]

oh my goodness

throw that up here

not too bad i gotta check the

uh reversing screw bombed other

so teal is just assessing and just

checking out our runners this is the

first time we've kind of been in

somewhat clear waters the one thing

that's good

and bad about the delta system is that

uh the water's

a little bit warmer but uh the

visibility is really bad

okay it looks good so far so good so far

anything else yeah i'm getting the hell

out of here oh come on emma makes it

look like it's so much

fun it's not so bad look at it she's

loving it

like i said people don't be fooled by

emma she makes everything look like

super fun and everything is just

amazing but it is

the next morning we got up and we left

[Music]

vallejo

[Music]

so this is a big day for us we are

heading into napa marina

i talked to mike at the boatyard and he

suggested that we go in a day earlier so

that he can kind of assess

and look at our boat and get a game plan

on getting us hauled out so there's a

couple of reasons why we decided

in this last month why we wanted to haul

out

number one being it's been over a year

since our last

call out yep and you know there's been a

lot of things that's happened since then

you know we had that

friendly collision with the log yes that

was fun

so obviously we want to make sure that

that's all good and you know

there's a couple tweaks this was a great

shakedown for

us coming down the coast and we've

learned a lot more

on our boat we have forgive me for

staring at the chuck potter

we are heading up the napa river it's

deceptively

uh shallow all around us it looks like

you could sail anywhere in here

but we're going through a very narrow

channel

with not many markers so i've got my

eyes glued to the chart plotter

we've been told the navionics uh

charts are real accurate in here so

we're trusting them and they're

they look dead on so far so and actually

the really good thing about this marina

is when you go on their website they

give very

detailed instructions on how to get into

their marina because it is kind of

tricky there's a lot of shallow

areas there is all sorts of obstacles

coming up here but it's uh

sure keeps you on your toes it's a good

day though because there's no wind

um and it's just we're in a flood tide

we're running with a flood tide so

we uh just in case you do get into a

shallow area you have the rest of the

tide to lift you out

that's the idea and we'll be hitting

napa marina

right as uh the tide peak so that's what

we're timing

and it's working out pretty good so far

the depths have been

20 feet or less for most of this trip

and it's a short trip about eight miles

you guys excited yeah one of these

always looks so narrow when you come in

so we have a couple hours before our

haul out time

so we're going to do as much as we can

to

kind of stow some items and just get

prepared for those haul outs

even though it's it's been only a year

i'm still nervous

i know i was looking at those 15 months

actually crazy

napa is actually a real cool marina it's

a working

marina and a lot of hustle and bustle

here

there is a well it's kind of a

multi-hole hub

there's probably 25 maybe more

multi-holes in here right now lots of

catamarans and trimarans

they have the equipment to haul us out

it's a different um fallout

for us this time we're not going to be

in a sling it's going to be in a cradle

system

so that should be interesting yeah i

think it'll be uh i went over and looked

at the equipment

they have nice equipment here and they

know what they're doing

so why is it hope fingers crossed this

goes smooth

i'm sure it will in the meantime we're

going to stow

our outboard um because we want to do

some work on it

just a little tune-up and then our

dinghy needs a good

scrubbing so that should be interesting

and fun i guess fun

[Music]

there's nothing like a clean dinghy

though come on

there you go again

now this actually looks like a tight

spot to get into

it's so amazing because

other boats with wider beams and us

have to snake into the very end to be

hauled out

right there we're gonna be stationed

here

and probably within the hour we'll be

out of the water

[Music]

so

so here we are all settled into the napa

marina

this is a great place for us to finally

get a couple of these big projects done

that we've been wanting to do

so for so long i know and

we're going to get a little used to the

weather we're not used to this warm

temperatures yet it's a hundred degrees

today what do you think

yeah it's uh it's warm but you know we

can handle it it's just

gets a little it's something to get used

to we'll get acclimated up here

anyways guys thanks for watching this

week's episode onboard lifestyle if you

liked it don't forget to leave a like

and subscribe to our channel come back

next week to see another awesome new

video

see you then bye

so you guys this is

no good no bueno okay

because plastic does not belong

in our oceans and our waterways this is

bad for the environment

it's bad for the sea life it is bad for

our boats

it's bad for our props
