ALL THAT WENT WRONG During our First Year of Sailing.. Learning by Doing | A&J Sailing S1Ep.14

We left it all behind to live out our dreams of exploring the epic coastal waters of the pacific northwest by sail! We found a no-frills sailboat, spent months fixing it up and taught ourselves how to move around with the wind! Steep learning curve, this sailing business! We learned that anything that can go wrong on a boat WILL (during the first month on the water) including steering & engine failure! This week trouble stirs again and we find ourselves bucketing water, rather quickly, out of our bilge.. On with the show! (cue smoke) 0:00 Intro 0:17 Recap - All that went wrong during our first few weeks on the water 2:35 Trouble stirs again! 3:30 I'd like to use a lifeline please - Phone a Friend 8:30 When in doubt wrenches out! 16:32 Everyone likes a good sailing montage THANK YOU for considering helping to support our video creations! ►PATREON https://www.patreon.com/allisonandjames ►PAYPAL https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jamesandallison SUBSCRIBE! ► for a new video every Wednesday https://www.youtube.com/c/allisonjames WHO WE ARE Hi!
