Аляскаас олдсон 78 фут урт хуучин хөлөг онгоцыг засварлаж, далайд амьдрах зорилгоор ашиглаж байна.
Жанис болон Блэйн Кармена нар Аляскад бүрхүүлээр хучигдсан байдалтай олдсон “Tangaroa” нэртэй супер дарвуулт онгоцыг худалдан авч, сэргээн засварлах ажлыг эхлүүлжээ. Тэд хөлөг онгоцыг далайн аялалд тэнцэхүйц болгохын тулд олон мянган цагийг зарцуулж, шаардлагатай сэлбэг хэрэгслийг eBay-ээр дамжуулан худалдан авсан байна. Энэхүү төсөлд их хэмжээний хөрөнгө оруулалт шаардагдсан ч засварын ажил одоог хүртэл үргэлжилсээр байна.
Хосууд хөлөг онгоцны хөдөлгүүрийг бүрэн шинэчилж, гибрид системээр тоноглох томоохон өөрчлөлтийг хийжээ. Хуучин хөдөлгүүрийг буулгаж, шинэ гибрид систем суулгах нь техникийн хувьд нарийн төвөгтэй ажил байсан бөгөөд тэд аялалын явцад гарсан техникийн бүхий л бэрхшээл, шийдлийг өөрсдийн цахим хуудсаар дамжуулан баримтжуулсан байна.
Сүүлийн үед далайд амьдрах сонирхолтой хүмүүсийн тоо нэмэгдэж байгаатай холбогдуулан зарим хүмүүс аялалын хөлөг онгоцонд амьдрах, эсвэл хуучин хөлөг онгоцыг сэргээн засварлах замаар амьдралын хэв маягаа өөрчилж байна. Энэхүү хос мөн Alibaba-гаар дамжуулан хоёр ч жижиг завь худалдан авсан нь тэдний далайд амьдрах шийдвэр эргэлт буцалтгүй байгааг харуулж байна. Хэдийгээр хөлөг онгоцыг ашиглалтад оруулах нь өндөр өртөгтэй бөгөөд байнгын засвар үйлчилгээ шаарддаг ч тэд далайд амьдрах сонголтоо үргэлжлүүлсээр байна.

This couple decided living on land wasn’t for them, so they set about fixing up an abandoned superyacht to make it their home.
Janis and Blaine Carmena couldn’t believe their lucky stars when they found a 78-foot abandoned superyacht underneath a tarp in Alaska.
Seeing an opportunity, they invested thousands of hours into getting this trawler back into sailing condition.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars later and more eBay purchases than they’d care to count, the couple had achieved their goal – but the work is never really complete.
More and more people are taking up life on water
For as long as humans have been able to build boats and set sail, some have had a preference for the seafaring life.
But these days, you don’t have to join the navy or become an oil-rig worker to live out at sea.
Plenty of people have decided that living on a cruise ship is their ticket off land.
One American woman made this choice and has since beensharing candid views about her expenses.
For one woman in Tennessee,selling everything she owned to live the high life on a cruise shipwas a dream come true.
And for one couple, it took selling 31 cars to make their dream a reality.
But then there are those who take a route that is arguably less glamorous and requires a lot more elbow grease.
This couple worked hard on making this abandoned superyacht
When Janis and Blaine found their superyacht-to-be, it was rusting away in Alaska.
They decided that the boat – named Tangaroa – would be their passion project for the next few years.
On their YouTube channel, the couple have documented every peak and trough of the whole experience.
As you might expect, making a boat seaworthy isn’t a cheap endeavor.
The couple attempted to cut costs where possible by sourcing parts in eBay auctions.
Life at sea comes with its own set of challenges
In the past year, the couple have been documenting life out on the high seas.
One thing that certainly seems to ring true is that the work is never really done.
If you were look at their YouTube channel, you would notice that a lot the video titles indicate further work.
For example, they ripped out the old engines to put in a hybrid set-up, and that was no walk in the park.
Things are seemingly never done.
That’s not to say that the couple have been put off seafaring – it’s the opposite exactly.
The fact that they invested thousands into two boats from Alibaba speaks for itself.
