– The Challenges and Rewards of Boat Life

Traveling around the world by sail has allowed me and my family to experience moments that can only be described as downright magical. But these moments haven’t come easy over the years. And when it comes to boat life, you gotta pay to play. Keeping our floating home in ship shape is no small task.

And when your backyard looks like this, it makes all the blood, sweat, and tears worthwhile. We’re constantly facing challenges on board, but the rewards of boat life are immeasurable.

One recent challenge we encountered was with our dive compressor. While filling dive tanks, it started making a horrible squeaky noise and began smoking. Suspecting a broken drive belt, troubleshooting became our morning task. But before that, we had to deal with an unexpected surprise – someone had put a paper towel down the toilet. We’ve learned that boat life always keeps us on our toes, but moments like these are balanced by the joys that come with living on the water and exploring incredible destinations.

– Troubleshooting the Dive Compressor: Identifying the Issue

In the latest episode of Sailing Vessel Delos, we encountered yet another boat problem. While filling our dive tanks, our dive compressor suddenly started making a horrible squeaky noise and even started smoking. Suspecting an issue with the drive belt, our morning task was to troubleshoot and identify the problem. But before we could get started on that, we had to deal with a toilet mishap caused by a paper towel mistakenly thrown down there by Sierra’s friend.

Once we got down to business, we headed to the back locker on Delos where we keep our diving gear, kite gear, and other equipment. Inside this spacious area, also known as Shark Dog’s domain (Sierra’s imaginary pet), we found our very rusty dive compressor. This aging equipment consisted of a control panel, an electric engine, and the compressor itself. We needed to remove the case to access the belt and determine the cause of the issue. With the help of Sierra, who had the important role of handing me tools, we began the process using a ratchet and vice grips.

Stay tuned for the next episode as we dive deeper into troubleshooting the dive compressor issue and tackle the necessary repairs. Despite the constant challenges that boat life brings, we continue to find solace and reward in the breathtaking beauty of our surroundings. Join us as we navigate the highs and lows of life on the open seas, and discover the magic that lies within this extraordinary journey.

– Exploring the Back Locker: Dive Gear and Shark Dog

Traveling around the world by sail has been a truly magical experience for my family and me. However, it hasn’t come without its challenges. Boat life requires constant maintenance and repairs, as something seems to break almost every day. But amidst our ever-growing to-do list, we find solace in exploring the beauty of our backyard. The breathtaking scenery makes all the effort worth it.

One of our recent challenges involved our dive gear and the dive compressor. While refilling the dive tanks, we noticed a horrible squeaky noise and smoke coming from the compressor. After troubleshooting, we discovered that the drive belt between the electric motor and compressor had snapped. Hence, our task for the day was to dismantle the compressor and replace the belt. But before getting to work, we had a slight detour to address a colorful mishap with a paper towel in the toilet, courtesy of a friend. Nevertheless, Sierra, my little helper, eagerly joined me on this adventure of fixing the compressor.

Delos has a spacious back locker where we store our kite gear, diving equipment, and more. Sierra’s imagination comes to life in this space through her beloved shark dog, a half-shark, half-dog creature. Removing the rusty compressor case reveals the control panel, electric engine, and compressor unit. With Sierra by my side, we use tools like a ratchet and vice grips to tackle the repair. As we delve into the depths of the back locker, we realize that, despite the challenges and occasional mishaps, our sailing journey is filled with unforgettable moments and incredible discoveries.
