If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor. Click https://betterhelp.com/evans for a discount on your first month of therapy. We met THE FRENCH. We took our American made French Sailboat to FRANCE and anchored up. We received an unexpectedly warm welcome!
Anyways, come hang out with us as we get our feet wet again cruising around a bit while we wait for the weather to break 🙂
We are sailing our way up and down the coast, tag along!

Next time doing a temp patch ,use a part of a tin can to cover the hole before tape
Switched off batteries are one of the reasons that I am not a big fan of the Battle Born batteries. The BMS is a black hole and you have no way to communicate with it. On my LFP batteries, if I get a low voltage cutoff, I can go into the BMS with Bluetooth and change the low voltage limit so that it will turn back on so that I can then recharge. I set my low voltage cutoff at 3.0c per cell [12.0v] which is well above the cell limit of 2.5v per cell [10.0v]. This will let me pull the battery down to around 5% state of charge and I still have a 5% reserve after I get a low cut off event.
With your batteries, there are several ways to get your Zeus to recharge the house battery even when it is shut down. The simplest is to start your engine on the start battery and then use a length of wire to make a jumper line for the +10v from the start battery to the +12v connection on the Zeus. When doing this, I would suggest turning off all breakers and switching on your 12v panel so that you have the least loads possible. With the engine running, the Zeus will start charging as soon as it sees 12v to power it up. once the alternator starts putting out power, the jumper will not be needed, and the batteries will wake up and charge.
Less weather, more Jade. I want Jade reading the news and on my tv 8 times a day with updates! While sailing of course! 💝
Good🍀Luck with the 'storm' xx
You remember we used to do sailing?! Not rusty at all and anchoring is fine
Have you tried those Flopper stoppers?
Haven't seen you lately, and I'm glad to find you again. Got a question: Here you are in a dark anchorage preparing to move. The lighting below is enough to blind me for 15 – 20 minutes. I've noticed it before, but never said anything. How can you do it? Even when my eyes were your age I needed dark. In fact, we vacilated between red and blue below and gave notice if we were going to turn on a white light so the other could shade their eyes.
Welcome Back!!
Se lier d'amitié avec un Français? Grosse erreur! Maintenant, je dois écouter des heures de monologues sur le vin et le fromage!
Rescue tape is a self fusing tape it’s the ticket for the hose repair
I want to be a Patreon supporter of you, on your Patreon page. It says the amount and it says per weekly video. Your videos have not been coming out weekly. Am I going to still pay weekly or is it per video?
Unhappiness of being away from others for so long setting in. Better Help isn’t going to fix that. Lol
I seem to have lost track, where is your famous carbon bimini ?
Great to see a new vlogg coming our way… been longing for it guys 😍☀️
Will count down the days for the next.
Enjoy France 🇫🇷
you guys should get some extra hoses for emergencies
Your radar gives you a 200 ft radius. that means you actually have 100 ft either side. great videos love it.
To help with rolling, you can push the boom out with a bucket on the end of it. Set it so when the boat is level, the bucket's top is at the water line. When the bucket is out of the water, the weight resists rolling to that side, when the boat rolls to the other side, the bucket is almost the same weight as the water. To double it's effect, use a pole to do the other side.
It's not the tiny waves that is causing the rolling, it's the deep waves, the ones hitting your keel. Wind waves are shallow, but ocean swell is deep. You can have no wind waves, so no waves, but deep ocean swell hitting your keel.
When the forecast is for 5-10 or 10-15, it can get up to 25 with gusts to 30, but when they say 20-25, you can get anything.
I'm concerned for the life of your batteries. Batteries really don't like being 100% drained. Their life will be shortened. Hopefully, they will not take too big of a health hit.
I have been diagnosed with celiacs, if I eat anything wheat, 4 to 6 hours I pay, gas and bloat and other thing. We heard Italian flour does not have the same effect as American produced flour. What brand do you trust there? Flour that is!! Thanks in advance for time and attention. Great following your channel. Love you guys. Hope you win something this year in Annapolis. Where I was raised. Peace and prayers yall
Good show!
The answer to your sleep problems is pillows. Lots and lots of pillows.
Jan them in whatever place you’re rocking into.
Flex tape for hoses is a life saver on a boat, sometimes literally it’s Stretchy tape that is not sticky just stretchy and it can seal likes like that quick
iI am happy to see you again, I haven't commented in a while but I miss the other girl from the crossing and hoped you could say hello to her as well.
Nice episode… hurry hurry and get that beautiful new hard top on,,, you are almost there right?
You can jump the dead batteries from the start battery.
All you need to do is turn the BMSs on, then the alternator can do the rest.
You guys really think trough all the stuff, and you show it on the video. I´m always learning something.
