The WRONG WAY up the TREACHEROUS Pacific Coast in our 44 year old Boat

- We are able to get the fresh water pump secured and replaced and now it's time to get back on the Pacific. We are racing the weather to keep hold of these perfect conditions. Will the calm seas hold for us the entire way?!

Billy, you might see if you can rebuild the old pump for a spare. It may just need new bearings and a seal or two. It's at least worth checking out. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
They've already sold the boat.
Lashing that spare belt to the coolant line is damn good forward thinking Skipper!
Yup, did same on mine.
But that construction with the hose through the belt is a pain in the ass - not Billie's fault.
It never gets old looking at how beautiful Mountain Mist is now. Her handrail sparkles and shines. I'm so happy you got to spend months in the PNW exploring with family, friends, and each other. Priceless memories 💖
It’s great to see you cruising in calm waters. I was a commercial fisherman in the Atlantic from above Newfoundland and as far south to the Amazon..seen 30-40 ft seas and 100 +mph winds.I’ve told people the ocean can get as calm as a mill pond and they look at me like I’m crazy.glad you had such wonderful conditions!!
Boat looks great and it’s great to see all your hard work pay off!!
Fair winds 🛥️
Grew up on the Outer Banks with commercial fishermen and boat builders in my family. I've seen the Atlantic from mild to wild. Like you said many a day I've seen as flat as flat can be, other days I've seen I was glad I was safely on the beach watching instead of out on it. People that look at you like your crazy just haven't spent enough time near the ocean.
The lee shore notoriously known as the Graveyard of the Pacific basically runs from Cape Mendocino to Cape Flattery on the tip of Washington. It then continues north up to the Gulf of Alaska. The weather you had for this voyage at this time of year was amazing.
I work on tugboats in Alaska and the only thing I've found that works for seasickness is making sure you have a good meal and plenty of lemon and ginger tea. No heat in the wheelhouse and look out at the horizon.
Thanks for sharing your journey. My ketch has a ford lehman in it as well and it's a pain in the butt finding those parts. Glad you got it fixed and on your way
For people that are wondering about wifi only iPads and GPS. We use the antenna Billy was talking about, one called Dual Connect. Works great.
New Diesels are great when money and time mean nothing but man it's nice to have these motors that aren't a slave to computers and electronics. They are truly as reliable as a motor can be.
The boat looks so beautiful in many of the camera shots without putting it into context, and due to all of your months of hard work in restoring it. Good planning on being able to sail in such ideal weather.
Billy, you are so smart with those engines! You know everything! But Sierra is there to help you and make some very good meals to keep you strong!
Hi to you both,as a retired marine engineer it is always handy to carry spare bearings,gaskets and seals for for any pump that you may have onboard.I am enjoying your video’s,good luck with your venture.cheers Roly🇬🇧.
one that old, you could do well with a roll of thin cork sheet. cut seals and gaskets as needed, it will hold very well for many years.
Good seeing a old sea dog at the rail. Jetty is such a character. Congrats on a safe passage all and another great vid. Cheers.
American diesel in Virginia sells all things lehman. Hoses, pumps, blocks and oil and engine coolers.Owners name Brian. His father did the original. marinization of Lehman engines.Many of the defever cruisers members who have lehman engines use him
Glad you guys made the good weather window.
Jetty looks happy to be back on the water 🐕 😁
Finally you two are back on the water. Nice 👍
Never even knew the North Pacific could be that calm! You really lucked out, we are so glad!
This video is one of my favorites. Having run up and down the coast from Seattle to SF many times, I’ve only experienced calm weather once. Sure do enjoy your adventure.
So glad you were able to source these crucial parts needed in such a quick turn around!
Congratulations on your 1st successful voyage, I never doubted you all! Amazing all the skills the both of you have acquired over the years and your dedication to living a life on the water! I so admire your free spirit’s and heart for adventure!
Clear eyes and a full heart can’t loose!
Blessing on the both of you.
That's some super glassy water!
I think that Lehman Diesel engines are marinized Fordson Tractor engines. Most agricultural suppliers of Ford Tractors will have the kit for the pump, and some even an entire exchange pump as long as you bring the old one. If you just buy the kit you will ned access to a press to fit it.
Yay! It's great to see you guys on the water, again! Looks beautiful. Have fun and get back to the "right" coast, ASAP. 🙂
WOW calm AF!
Billy, The second belt zip tied in place is genius
Yep good untill you realise that the high temp will deteriorate the belt quickly.
@@milkoberben2963 sure but it can be insulated or zip tied to something else, and it is for an on the water emergency repair, obviously not needed if your belt doesn't have obstructions
@Milko Berben I wondered about that. I suppose it's still better than having to take it apart again. I'm sure the belt condition is dependent upon the amount of heat and exposure time.
@@nooneanybodyknows7912 I live in
Gambia West Africa and worked for several years on a yacht with 2 Ford engines on it almost the same as his so yes I have some experience with temperature and what it does to fan belts
If you can buyer some Ginger Calm seasick pills or som Ginger Ale soft drink, but let it loose all its fizz before drinking it. We found both of these products work well.
Also drink lots of water. Have a great trip.
801st fan LIKE; 4.7K+ desktop phantom shipmate view. "Captain Billy" has a good nautical ring to it. Nice to see your 'yacht' looking ship-shape and ready to go to sea.
Great to see your beautiful trawler cruising the high seas as she should be doing.
I was just thinking, gee it's time Billy and Sarah put out a vlog, and i turn on my tablet an here u are, got me the biggest smile I've had all day. Nice cruise, boat sounds good. Thanks u three take care. 🇦🇺🌈
Thanks for the cruising shots, what a beautiful boat, your hard work has paid off!!! So Blessed ❤️
I don't know what's more awesome your crazy big beautiful engine room or your ridiculous amount of knowledge on how to take care of the boat and integrate Navionics with your various devices. Beautiful video cheers to you 3 carry on!
Awesome!!! Congrats on getting underway!! Mountain Myst is looking and running great! Congrats on getting this vessel back into proud and sharp shape!! Having lots of fun watching this series, many thanks for sharing these adventures here. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
This is an amazing adventure. The old boat has proven it is up to the task with all of the fine work you guys have done on it. Congratulations and thanks so much for taking us along. I myself am an adventure junkie and I love this stuff.
You two are so cool….have enjoyed watching you for years….you make the best of any situation…watching from SE Florida….
It's awesome to see you back on the water. What an amazing accomplishment.
Fantastic!! ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
“Captain Bill”…. A great surprise from Chip, …my favorite part. Congrats on a great trip. Inspiring! Thanks.
The trick with the 2nd belt was pretty slick
In 1974 I was on visit in bodega bay at my first visit to US . I was told that it was there the movie the birds was shot by Alfred Hitchcock . I was even inside the telefonebooth Tipi Hedren stood when she was attacked by the birds !
IF Idont remember wrong .
Otherwise that route you are doing is nice . I was working on containerships for 10 years and we did that route on the way to Seattle/Vancouver .BC . The weather there can vary from storm to flat sea in hours so you have a great luck ! It's a wondeful place though to route because of the wildlife !
I've never seen the Oregon - Washington coast that calm while underway. I've crossed into the Columbia bar with 20 footers in a 16 footer. My 32 ft wood Grand Banks trip from Astoria to Warrenton , 12 footers for 24 hours. Single Ford Lehman engine. Dependable.
Congrats on finding the pump and repairing your diesel engine. I spent 35 plus years at sea I used Bonine it worked and you could stand watch with it. Lucky to get such calm conditions in those waters you will have to weather tougher conditions to test yours and the boats limits. Looking forward to next week.
Add a dash of salt in coffee before brewing to take away bitterness that upsets stomach and doesn't help nausea.
The cruising montage is the best
Happy for you guys . I just saw Fred Warner Marysville WA has that pump in stock . they have a eBay and amazon store . Best of luck !!! Get another!
Loved the camera view from the mast!
Great haircut Billy!
Very impressive Bobby digging that engine room you've been busy looks awesome
I depend on my ipad for all of my navigation. One summer, in the San Juan Islands, my ipad crashed. Hard. I hadn’t backed it up to my macbook, so no go on system restore. Switched to my iphone, but it really is so small a screen in comparison. Have a backup!
I liked the overhead view at the end of the vid. Thx guys!!
Oh my goodness, you did it again. Smart planning & hard work sure paid off. Awesome to see Jets in the vid, I've missed her mug. Be well & Happy New Year!
I pause other channels when I play WWF, so I can concentrate.
I pause WWF when watching your channel, so I can concentrate.
Great stuff, as always! Thank you. 😀
great idea putting the extra belt on so you don't have to take off the coolant hose!
I've got Net Flix Amazon, Disney Plus but the only addiction I have is to your channel. Happy Sailing, Peace & Love from a damp cold January in the UK
Sending sunshine your way Rohan! Thanks for being on this adventure with us ❤️🤗
Unbelievable glass calm Pacific Ocean wow
great that you can do this and get weather updates etc, over here we are limited to vhf when offshore.
Try "Sea Bands" guys they are great. You should be able to get them at a drug store. Cheap as. They are an elastic band which place on each wrist with a button you place on a pressure point. Used them on several cruses.👍😀
Glad to see you guys out cruising. Even though I know in real-time boat is already sold.
The out-on-the-ocean views around 8:25 - are breathtaking. Thanks‼️
Thank you for cruising through the PNW. I’m in southern Oregon and love to see our beautiful coast line from your perspective. We have enjoyed your journey from your first video! Hope to see you out there soon, somewhere in this big wide world! Stay safe and calm seas to you!
You have dual engins. Shut 1 down and service, switch. Then return to your 1600+ power. I'm sure you have a blower system for fresh air. Make sure the smoke, fire, and o2 detection systems are up and running. So you can breath.
Hay you two it looks like your having fun . That was funny I was called Captain Bill for 20yrs also . I ran a 65 ft 20yrs, stay safe and no sea sick ok............
What a fantastic weather window
Leave that awful cold, rainy Northwest and come back to the warm climes.
The boat looks new. Great job.
You may go through the Columbia river bar! I have had my 82 Californian LRC there and it’s now in the Florida keys! 🎉
I'm missing you guys on the trawler already, those vids were pretty cool.
That's such a pleasure to be cruising in such calm water.... That's something I haven't seen very often over here on the East Coast..
Good sail. I know you’re proud of your boat. Breathe deeply and enjoy. You have arrived. This IS it.
Just thought I would share this tip about sea sickness. An elderly lady once told my sister-in-law to eat a green apple every day if she could as it stops sea sickness as my sister-in-law suffers a lot since she has eaten green apples she has not been sick.
If it doesn’t help with sea sickness it will help with everything else. Thanks for the tip.
I thought it was green M&M s ????
EAT 2 TUMS WHEN YOU FIRST START FEELING SICK...TUMS NEUTRALIZES YOUR STOMACH ACID , THAT HELPS IMMENSELY... I SWEAR BY IT , NEVER LET US DOWN...
Eating a green apple on land!
@@kennyshepherd8311
👍👌👏😁😁😁
I like how u guys talked ab your personal challenges and routine on the water. Also I liked how u talked ab and showed the graphs of the counter roll mechanisms.
Awesome video, thanks for taking us along!
Great to hear about the used cooling pump purchase. She looks so well kept in this video.
Beautiful, and so glad it was calm for you guys! Those seals, tho. All I could think of was "Finding Dory". "OFF, OFF, OFF, OFF.... OFF!!" 🤣😂
xo
Love the scenery of your journey thanks for posting it
I’ve been watching you guys for years now. You two know how to live life! Keep it up. Love watching your adventures.
Happy for you guys
Of all things, I'm glad you mentioned the fenders. I had noticed the empty holders.
I feel for Sierra’s nervousness. That is a part of cruising not often talked about. I had a tired old Perkins on a sailboat in South San Francisco that needed to be towed twice and after that I always had that tingling in the back of my mind when I left the dock. The boat looks absolutely great after your restoration. Great job!
Such an amazing weather window for your trip north. Calm as a lake most days. Glad you are not out there this week with big storms lined up and 30' swells.
Just an amazing looking boat cruising on the water. You must be very proud of your work. Kudos to you both
I just love watching you two working together on your adventures. I feel like I'm watching my kids. Good luck to you and keep having a great time.......
This was posted four days ago and I couldn't believe that you guys are even considering going further north at this time of year. A quick check of "windy" shows me a couple of weeks of continuous heavy storms from San Francisco all the way to Puget sound, which is normal for this time of year. If you can make it to Eureka and they have a slip(better check ahead, they usually have a waiting list) you might just stay there till April when the storms moderate. May would be even better. You couldn't pay me enough to make that passage at this time of year and I have done it both ways.
Such a beautiful trip
The San Juans are beautiful! Spent a lot of time in Friday Harbor. Orcas has a winery. Roach Harbor is pretty and has lots of trails. Kayaking with killer whales is HIGHLY recommend! If ya make it, by the day bus pass on San Juan island to see American Camp, British Camp, and lime Kiln. I rode a bike to them, but it's a very long ride.
So freaking beautiful-how fun 🥳
Awesome to see the fruits of your labor. It's a beautiful thing that you have accomplished.
Just a thought, put a new fresh water pump on the other engine and write the date you installed them. Put the "kinda" new one aside as the spare. I would think there should be an approximate amount hours that they should last.
Cheers and have fun adventuring
Great video and edit. Next time you should troll for Blue Fin in those waters.
Beautiful video 👍👍
Welcome to Seattle, now we just have to get ya’ll to say Strait of Juan de Fuca correctly we’ll be good. Jon at Fife Maritime
I swear it appears your pup was smiling as you pulled away from the dock. So funny.😂
Glad for you - once in a long time one get such a calm and pleasant journey.
😮 only seen mendo flat like that in pics!! Newport is a good easy bar crossing out of the options.
Hope it's all good 👍
Leaving the spare belt tied up behind the hose was brilliant, great idea!
Its a good idea to carry spares
That water is like glass 8:23
Billy , taurine supplement is a great replacement for coffee ! Take on an empty stomach , works great !
boy on Chrismas morning
Love ya picis guys. Awsom
This is really interesting to watch
Totally #OfTheEpic . Good to see you back out on the water having fun.
