    Soooo, we hit a little bump in the road getting this video out on time (oops! 🙈), which means we're not on our usual schedule. That means a few of you might miss it-and we can't have that! Here's where you come in: Smash that like button and drop us a comment (tell us anything-how’s your day going? 😎). This helps the algorithm work its magic and shows the video to more awesome folks like you! 💥Thanks for hanging in there and being the best community ever! Your support means the world to us! 💥

    Hey! You got it. uploaded! Now, about your title; it isn't just boats, it's every significant project. That's why you deserve major respect! (It's like world-class atheletes say, "It's not physical, it's mental!") Any doubtere or critics just need to go back and watch the first handful of videos to see how far you've come. We can already see how she'll look on splash day. There's a REASON you for it for 1 euro!!! (That was a legal figment.) But it's the middle of October. You need to fight burnout by planning a ski holiday in the Alps in a couple months! Hang in there and give 'er hell!

I'm about to pull out the old diesel and rebuild it myself, after getting the block inspected. It's about 25% the cost of a new engine. Good luck getting into the water asap.

    We live in a town, and despite pouring rain and it now getting quite cold, we have a new and very enthusiastic chap who continues to come around almost every day selling ice creams from a large electrically assisted pedal trike. Many days, it is unclear whether he actually attracts any customers, or just enjoys the fact that that he can belt our a variety of tunes on his ice cream van like chimes at high volume. This is ok as long as he plays a variety of tunes, but when he plays the same one over and over, and you can hear him from half a mile away, well, it's a bit like the endless noise you've been having to put up with in the hanger, but more penetrating! We are eagerly awaiting the end of this years ice cream season!

    well, me, the wife and a couple or work colleagues, just spent a few days doing about 600 sqm of flooring in one of the shops the company we work for manages. For us older folk, it's been hard work. Especially when we are normally doing desk jobs, lol. We are in the outback of Australia. Has been in the high 30 degrees, lucky for us shop is air conned.

    Nice job on those stancheon bases Marina, they look nice and strong as they should be and no doubt you will be adding backing plates underneath them as well. Stu, that bow fitting also needs to be super strong if you want to connect roller furling gear to it later. The load on that fitting is very high when you tension the furler to roll the sail correctly.
