BOAT LIFE: Repairing Our Broken Air-Conditioning in the Middle of the Night

Mythos beer is delicious!

Loving all these details! Definitely keeping this handy for later😉 Let’s get this project a huge success!!!

Jellyfish around Phuket were a nightmare. Once a day, roughly, clogged the AC inlet. And then the strainer is full of stinging snot...

Nice work on figuring out the issue...and I totally get that when something breaks, you gotta fix it!!

Put a T in the line so when it happens again you can attach the pump and just open the valve. Also a power air pressure device might be good . My problem like that was seaweed when I hand to stand to for a barge in narrow waters in an island passage and the engine was overheating from lack of water . It was very scary

My boat is in Greece also.. at first I had a MK 2 plank with carpet... then I got a MK 3 ladder with teak boards.... Now I have a MK V fancy folding aluminum. but seriously... just get a good 2x 12 plank... or the equivalent one in metric... I should know that.....haha.... omg... that was funny about the nickers.... but ya... for the plank just don't leave it in for harbors that have swell... seen one fall between the wall and the boat... and a Italian boat made a big wave in the harbor... and stuffed the plank right through the stern of a beautiful Benny... Love the Rabbit Stiffado... and ya... always go with what the family says is best..

Because I normally sleep with the hatches open on the boat... that noise of running water all night or generators all night from power boats... drive me crazy... I know... first world problems.... but just be kind.. and ask your neighbors if they are ok with the noise...during silent hours... yours is underneath.. and that is much better then the power boats...

When it comes to Masts size does matter ... unless you have got a pair of Panties in your pocket. Nuff Sed

Why are you doing this at night ? Wait until daylight !

Never been a fan of L connectors on thru-hulls. I'd replace it with a straight tail or with a T connector and plug the arm of the T so it was easy to remove the plug and shove something straight up the thru-hull to clear it. Because you know it's going to happen again! :)

your lucky nick is very handy on the tools and is willing to have a go.
Most blokes i know will pull things apart without taking pictures and then have know idea how they go back together

You guys are Just Great - I love the reality - been there done that and everything comes at a price : but know this - it’s dark , cold, grey in the UK. Your episodes are my escape and a wonderful memory prompt: thanks

We have had this ac problem a million times and almost always you have to go swim , the pump should be self priming , if not shoot me a message and I'll show you one that is self priming

Smile..!!!

Why are air conditioners on sailboats water cooled?

🙏🙏🙏🤛👍💐💐💐⛵️🦅😎🇺🇸

You got the Frank Zappa look going on there 😎

😅a lot of fixing on a new boat.

I thought Nick was the Greek waiter when he came out with the beers at the beach bar 😂

Love stifado. Ugh. Enjoy!

AC that works is a matter of survival, and can not be under estimated in the tropics and affects children and elderly badly.

Very few boats have proper insulation also they basically empty shell and cost a fortune to cool down. Just imagine having a fridge with no insulation.

You need to bleed that pre pump from the air or it wont pump water through the ac.

It's annoying but also immensely satisfying to fix something.

Hi Teresa and Nick. Can you tell me what month of year you were there. Not too crowded which is nice

Nick is rocking that mustache. :)

Is it me or does Nick look like Charlie Chaplin with that tash? All he needs is a bowler hat and a cane. 🤣🤭🤣🤭

Nick's a true guy's guy!! Good job!

Great Video, Has Nick got a part time job as a Freddy Mercury, tribute act 😅

Try this, put a tee after the thru hull connect the tee with a ball valve to your fresh water system. Normally you would have the ball valve closed. When you need to clear air lock etc.close the thru hull,open the ball when water starts overboard reverse the procedure. Has worked on my boat for over years

First world problem LOL

I thought planking was an exercise for your abs...

Great work team xx

How much was the marina fee

Good Episode. I love this boat, but it is maybe troo big for me

Probably a jellyfish

At least you can sleep in for the morning.

I laughed at your comment Teresa that "Nick is running around in Mr. Fix-It mode." -- very funny.

❤ amazing place guys. 😊👍🌏🐬

Why don't they just make them air cooled instead of seawater? It's always a disaster

Nick is looking like a 70's porn star with that mustache... and I'm here for it..... 😂

Well done guys and thank you for sharing Miss T. Good problem solve - it's a standard plumbing thing to reverse the flow on a fitting that's suspected blocked, nothing wrong with using air, in fact it's a sometimes a little safer than water, less chance of an over-pressure and breaking something, which is easier than one might imagine. When a pump that is meant for fluids is spinning in an air gap or bubble and not drawing, the term is "cavitation" or "cavitating" eg " I can't see any outflow, I bet the bloody pump is cavitating" 😅🤗

It sux on land when your air condition decides it wants to go on a vacation and it is like 110F outside. On the boat I cannot even imagine whats that like.

So funny, seamless granny pants!!! In his pocket?!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

Do patrons get access to nicks mustache ?🎉
