SAILING LIFE - TROUBLE in Paradise as our TINY HOME leaks - Ep. 22

In this episode of Sailing Zephyr - SAILING LIFE - Trouble in Paradise as our TINY HOME leaks - we set off for the Mediterranean. With just James and I left to do the crossing, we plan our 7 day trip to Cadiz, Spain.
Little did we know, but what lay ahead is big BIG seas and a non stop winds of 25+ knots that left us longing for land. Things took a turn for the worst when our stanchion bases started leaking and there was a huge amount of saltwater dripping in!
We make it to Cadiz, albeit, we both look like walking zombies and are starving for some Spanish food. We get to enjoy the beautiful city of Cadiz before heading off to cross the Gibraltar Strait.
Enjoy the video!

No matter what life hands you....you manage to cope with a smile. You guys are so positive I just love watching your videos.

[@SailingZephyr]

Thank you kindly. We really appreciate all your positive vibes. Helps keep us going.

[@stevesteel6066]

You both done really well. An uneventful Atlantic crossing and a few trips beyond that. Congratulations on your intro to sailing ⛵️. I’m sure that you both will continue to learn as you sail in difficult conditions. May fair winds always be in your sails. Much love to you both ❤️

[@SailingZephyr]

Awww thank you so much for the support. It’s been a wild ride so far. Looking forward to more. ❤️👍

[@Eric_412]

You are both slowly nailing it, I firmly believe this channel will take off.from complete rookies to sailing the Atlantic. Way to go 👍😀

[@SailingZephyr]

[@SailingZephyr]

Thanks Korka. It was a sad day for our mate. But hopefully it provides some insight into how mistakes can happen and provides a lesson. Stoked you watched the whole video. Nat is definitely the genius video editor. I'm shocking! hahaha

Looked like a great time to have a seat on the Bow and let the legs hang down while surfing into the waves. The dolphins love swimming in front of the Bow enjoying the thrust! 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬 🐬

[@johnvitaljich5311]

Great job guys well done. Enjoy Gibraltar good spot. Did some sailing out of there few years ago now.

[@gwoiler]

that clock is going to wear a hole in your wall! lol.....

[@SailingZephyr]

Haha!!! best comment.

[@suepeck2772]

Has anyone suggested using butyl tape when rebedding deck hardware such as stantions? Works much better than sealant

[@SailingZephyr]

Hey Sue. You’re spot on. We are going to use Butyl tape as part of our stanchion rebedding project. Please let me know if you have any other great ideas

[@ramminjammin]

Conditions horrible ? Sailing on one ta,ck sun is out, making 7 kt, day upon day , sounds ideal to me .

[@haydenwatson7987]

I +1 Sue's comment on using Butyl tape for sealing deck hardware. I have been using it for the past 10 years and have not had anything that I sealed with it start leaking (knock wood!) here is a link to a great how-to document on using it properly. marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/ I had also noticed the rust at your stanchions. Did you use 306 stainless steel bolts?

[@SailingZephyr]

We are definitely getting the Butyl tape. Lots of people suggesting it. The rust is annoying in stanchions. All the hardware for the stanchions is from Beneteau.

[@tsiracuse9530]

Ospho nails that rust... no prob

[@brady289]

Your videos are awful short

[@wildaltarose]

Hoosier Boy obviously you haven’t watched many sailing videos. They all average around 20 minutes.
