Yes !!! It really is a labour of love isn’t it? It’s not for the weak lol. We’re trying to show allllll the prep and work and time that has gone into this - so many UA-cam channels just show like 2 episodes and BAM it’s done !! It’s really not that simple lol

Ps thank you so much for watching & commenting - FIRST COMMENT AWARD! 💪💪

@@sailingjoco Just joined , hope you get back on the water soon.

Hey Doug! We haven’t actually used it yet lol! So far we have just rigged up a full preventer line run from the boom to the bow cleat and back to a winch on opposite side and that has been our go to. We used it on our first ever 3 day sail , feel free to go back and watch that episode ! (North Carolina to South Carolina)

@ thank you. Ill watch that. I bareboat and u never know what yiu might wish you had in a new area and on a different boat.

We do talk a bit of all the items we bought within the video ! I do see that you guys like the full close up ‘haul’ style of all the goods lined up so we’ll def do it that way in the future !

This is kinda a thing of the past now ! We asked our banks before travelling and that’s what they told us. No need to inform them. Maybe your bank is different ?

Thanks David ! That’s a very nice compliment ! This is definitely a huuuge undertaking and with more to come too lol , not just doing the deck ;-)

You know it !!! So funny Jeff was dead serious about it too 😂😂🍻

Hey Allyn thanks for the information, I’m sure it will be helpful for people down the road too! We didn’t have any issues with the hertz / we are on the French side of the island so their power doesn’t go out as often/surge lol. And yup we’ve looked at the board - replaced it ! No signs of burns or anything. Jeff also has used a capacitor to check for voltage before handling any of that , dang we didn’t film that part. So hard to get everything all the time ! Thanks for watching as usual :)

There’s always something isn’t there? 🤦‍♀️ Hopefully we can find a solution to it at some point but it’ll have to wait till the decks done ! Happy holidays to you too!

Haha !!! Glad you liked that ;-)

When we put the plate down, there was ‘splooge’ of epoxy that got in the bolt holes , so even tho we used Vaseline on the bolts before putting the windlass down, they’d still get epoxy on them inevitably. So we didn’t want keep it down for too long just in case ! Dont wanna seal the windlass to the deck 👌 Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed!

Will think about it ! We don’t have a surge protector but we have a galvanic isolator

Ugh sorry that happened to you too! At least you received a somewhat ok outcome. We’re SOL :(

@ the continuing joys of boat life. Enjoy your videos. Best wishes. Oh and see that boat that ran aground? If we where there that we be us. We seem to run aground more than anyone we know!

Ya know what they say - there’s two types of boaters - ones that have gone aground and ones who lie about it ;-)

Thank you so much ! First comment 🏆👌💪!!!!

Thanks Jo! Yup that’s what we ended up doing and we’re happy with it. Now to find time to fix up that half-door cupboard 😳 what were they people before us thinking lol

Thank you kindly ! Makin progress !! :)

Variety is the spice of life ya know ?! lol, thanks for watching :)

Thank you so much !! Yup, we did it the way I was suggesting in the end and are happy with it :) thanks for your comment !

No kidding right !! Our consulting business is always open :-) Thanks for watching & commenting !!

Yes !! Sometimes it’s fun to be a kid again and in WDW it’s encouraged big time haha! Happy to have been able to spend that special time with family building memories :) (and opportunity to bring back boat parts with no shipping costs!) thanks for watching :)

Lolol :) It’s a tough job but someone’s gotta do it ;-)

Haha it was Jeff that oriented that outlet below 😂 And yes overall Christin won and its straight to the outlet below 👌👌👌

Wow that sounds like an amazing view! Both the waves and the jocos on YT 😂😂😂 Yes I do say oh my lanta quite often haha thanks for noticing ! We miss Thailand, hope to be back one day. Thanks for watching we’re glad you’re enjoying!

We are allowed to build a tent but our tarps are doing ok for now. It would be such a hot greenhouse too !!!!

I have been keeping track best I can so perhaps we’ll share it at the end , ughh I’m dreading adding it all up haha!

Hahaha ! Hey Char, hope you’re doing well! That’s amazing you started watching and then realized we know each other haha!! Hope you’re enjoying :) Are you casting the lines soon? You keep getting work contracts!

Haha !! Seems like such a long time ago now!

Labour of love for sure !! Sorry for the flashbacks !! Ha! But us too will be finished one day and be able to look back at this big project with a ton of pride , we’re lookin forward to that :)

So many steps !!!! And a lot of the time there’s a ton of waiting in between because #epoxy Slow progress but we’re doin it !!

Haha the Amazon pallet ! So many goodies we found hey ! And didn’t hav to pay shipping 😂

It can go either way ; we had instructions from several professionals to do it this way! Hmmm

You loaded up on the dumpster

Yes sorry we weren’t able to film as it’s just two of us with hands full of epoxy lol. We wetted out the surface of both the bottom skin & divinycell foam with unthickened epoxy , let it tack off, then thickened epoxy to peanut butter everywhere to bond

Good advice ! We agree , not to big on using excessive amounts of filler ; weakens what you’re trying to make be strong ! Man this is a lot of work lol

It’s amazing the lengths one must go just to do a simple project hey lol

Yes g10 is $$$!!! We were lucky to get some pieces from a friend that had them leftover 👌

It’s a horrible job ! But you are there , I wish I was to . This is my least favorite time of year . Boat is on the hard and waiting for spring . Snow is coming 😢, 2 years , I’m there

Yes the act of putting your boat to bed every year must get old after a while ! If you can do it, go full time ! In the tropics of course lol.

Thanks mark !

Good to know! So many ways to do the same thing it’s confusing sometimes lol
