Today, we are installing wheels on our dinghy. Why? Clark explains some reasons they are useful.
These are Wheel-A-Weigh Extra Duty wheels from Davis Instruments. Clark bought some similar wheels from Davis Instruments 20 years ago, and they are still in great condition. Special thanks to Davis Instruments for sending us this new pair for free, since the old ones didn't fit our dinghy.

In this video we show how you can fix a failed inflatable dinghy but adding air bladders. This simple repair method can bring even a discarded boat back to life.
it's like putting an inner tube in a tire.

Clark and Emily take you on a tour of their sailboat - a 1967 Creekmore 45. Filmed in February/June 2018. Please pardon some sound and editing issues. We have since purchased some better equipment.

Regarding the BBQ: It is called a Solaire SOL-EV17A. The bad news it is now as expensive as any boat BBQ. It's still a great BBQ but I think they were using it as a loss leader to get attention to their other BBQs when I bought it. https://amzn.to/2SzUlAt
The gimbaled five-burner propane stove we have and love is a FORCE 10 5-burner: http://www.force10.com/gas_gimballed_5burner.html

We thought it was a bird and went up to investigate. Big surprise! How did this rock iguana get onto our boat? Apparently it climbed the anchor chain. Look at him go!

How much do sailors spend on food? Do they stick to a budget? We talked to five different YouTube couples, in five different countries, to compare our notes about provisioning, prices, meal planning, and shopping for food while living aboard a sailboat with limited space and budget.
Today we are proud to finally release this video, which has been nearly two months in the making. We are especially glad to release it so close to U.S. Thanksgiving, since it's all about FOOD! Special thanks to our patrons, whose monthly gifts help make this type of content possible.
Thank you especially to all the channels who contributed to this video. Each one is producing valuable sailing life content, and we hope you will check out this playlist for additional food-related content by the participating channels: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsT7_jPsZM5oYbsLa4UGFiWqcn-_jNYHF

PROBLEMS SOLVED! Chesapeake Light Craft comes to the rescue!
We have worked out the issues with starting with the wrong plans. We have worked out a design to make my boat able to do everything I want it to, including nesting, and a lot of ideas of our own.
I've made great progress this week. I have the hull almost complete and was able to build the sailing components (rudder and centerboard).
I also learned that working with fiberglass has a big downside. Itchiness!

This lightweight wooden boat will be used as a sailing, rowing, and motoring dinghy for S/V Temptress. This model is based on the Eastport Nesting Pram (plans by Chesapeake Light Craft - http://CLCBoats.com). It will weigh approximately 75 lbs, and be just under 8 feet long, made mainly of okoume. It is built using a "stitch and glue" method.
We are incredibly grateful to Chesapeake Light Craft for sending us free plans for this dinghy ($89 value), and helping us out along the way, so we could share the build process with our YouTube viewers. Thank you to Ed and the team at CLC!

Welcome aboard our antique sailboat, Temptress, where we usually fix everything ourselves. After our 2-stroke motor repair video, many of you asked for a 4-stroke video. So here it is.
This week, our friends Dale and Kris (on the sailboat Sixth Girl) developed a problem with their 4-stroke outboard motor here in Luperon. They drove the dinghy over so Clark could help diagnose and fix the problem. When we looked inside, there were a few extra surprises, but all in all, we had a great day hanging out with our friends and saving the FUBAR’d engine.

We live aboard our antique sailboat, Temptress, where we (Emily and Clark) fix almost everything ourselves. Today's Capable Cruising Guide video is a follow-up to a video we made in late in 2020 describing how we connect lead and lithium batteries together in a hybrid system aboard our boat. Since that time, Clark has done a ton of research, and in the process, has invented a device that allows you to link lead and LiFePO4 batteries together in a smarter way. Now that he's built and tested the device, it's time to make it available to the public.
After putting up the initial video up, a guy in Europe gave it a try and did an amazing job if tracking the performance of the system. Check out his page to see what is actually happening with all the power in his hybrid system: https://wildebus.com/hybrid-battery-bank-introduction/
