NO SEE UMS ATTACK OUR BOAT!!! | Sailboat Story 71
November 10, 2017 by Sailboat Story | Language: EN Play Time: 00:13:24 | SAILING YOUTUBERS

In the Florida ICW swamp, a No See Um swarm descends upon our sailboat and her crew. A horrible night ensues.
2 of the absolute worst nights we’ve experienced has been caused by something roughly the size of a poppy seed. Of course, there are millions of them, they sneak into the boat through tiny cracks, and they feast on your flesh while you sleep…
I’m referring to the dreaded NO SEE UM!
Yes indeed, what a horrible little insect.
We do, in fact, have specially designed screens on our boat that are supposed to protect us from insects. The screens do an excellent job of keeping mosquitos away, but they’re simply no match for the minuscule size of the no see um… they slip right though the screens.
Since the screens are of no use, what we have to do is physically close up every single opening in any way we possibly can. This practice is actually very effective at keeping no see ums out of the boat, however, it’s also equally effective at keeping oxygen out. DOH!
So in this video you’ll see us suffering through a no see um attack, and you’ll also get to see us traveling about through Daytona Beach and a few other spots as well.
Then, the cherry of the video… you’ll experience first hand one of Tambi’s hidden talents. She can actually tie a knot in a cherry stem using nothing more than her tongue. Ohhhhh mama!
Thanks for watching!!
