August 04, 2024 by Sailing Popao - Underwater Ally Productions | Language: EN Play Time: 00:12:52 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode, Sailing Popao prepares to haul out their sailing boat in Townsville, Australia for the first time at Ross Haven Marine. This is an exciting and somewhat nerve-wracking process for them, but they are well-prepared with all the necessary safety measures in place.
The Preparation
Before heading to Ross Haven Marine, Sailing Popao ensures that their cameras are set up for filming. They also double-check their lifting points with the help of Dale the lift operator. This is a crucial step as they need to make sure the boat will be securely lifted without sitting on any sensitive parts like transducers or Mini KS.
Hauling Out and Boat Works
Once at Ross Haven, they get the signal to go ahead and are hauled out without any major issues. They notice that the location is open to trade winds, which can make for a bouncy stay until the wind shifts around to provide better protection. Despite the initial discomfort of being in such an exposed spot, Sailing Popao is excited to begin the boat work process.
The Boat Works
After the hauling out process, they find themselves in The Boat Works yard. This is an essential step as it allows them to clean and polish their boat thoroughly before setting back off on their sailing adventures. During this time, Sailing Popao also stocks up on necessary supplies and equipment from Clean Work products.
Challenges and Surprises
The episode also reveals some challenges they face during the boat work process, such as issues with their holding tank that required additional treatment. Despite these minor setbacks, Sailing Popao remains positive throughout, keeping an open mind and tackling each problem head-on.
Next Steps
In the next episode, we can expect Sailing Popao to dive deeper into their boat work experience at The Boat Works. They aim to fix any issues found during this process and ensure that their beloved sailboat is in top-notch condition for future adventures.
