Jump Starting an Engine on Our Leopard 45 and Floating Around Tampa Bay - E15
February 14, 2021 by Sailing Wind Therapy | Language: EN Play Time: 00:16:13 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode, we learned to jump start our Yanmar 4JH45 engine on our Leopard 45 catamaran. Adrienne got the luck of the draw on this one. We’ve never done this before, so it was a bit intimidating. But she put on her big girl pants and handled it like a champ. We got the engine running and ended up sailing to Terra Ceia Bay where we spent the night with our good friends, Rebecca and Alfredo. They rafted their boat to ours, and we floated around sipping Champaign. Not a shabby way to spend the day.
We also earned our SCUBA certifications through Aquatic Obsessions in St. Petersburg. Our open water dives were at the Blue Grotto near Ocala. The Blue Grotto is a large sink hole that has been converted to a SCUBA training site. They have several platforms at varying depths to accommodate divers of all skill levels. We even got to meet Virgil the turtle.
We also went sailing around Tampa Bay on two occasions with friends Rebecca and Alfredo and David and Dana. David is an amazing photographer. Check out his stuff at ENVY Photographics. You can find him on Instagram.
Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the video.

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
