Absolutely love seeing Tom, I remember him back from the Expedition Drenched days......I'm almost caught up to real time guys.
Good to see Tom there. You guys are goanna kick arse
A lot of the grains you buy have bug eggs in the bag already. Best way to keep the eggs from hatching is to stick them in the freezer for a couple days.
Those are weevils. They dont come from the outside, they are in the grains. The only way to make pasta last is temperature control. Preferably in smaller quantities so you rotate it regularly or if in bulk needs to be vacuum sealed or refrigerated. They come out of the pasta and they go into other grains. Same thing happens to Pet Food as it's mostly wheat.
The lesser of two weevils? 😀
Freeze your rice and grains when you buy them. The eggs are already in them for the insects.
So nice to see you guys back at the boat. Although the adventure was fun to watch. Cheers
Hey Guys! Great to see you back at the boat! May I ask why you went with copper bottom paint? I did it one year and wasn't too happy with how it performed in warm water. I d like to know your thoughts now that you have used it a couple of months at least. Thanks. And have fun with your Delos friends ❤
😀
No water. No problem. Still fun to watch. good storytelling. good voiceover. good audio. good media. good editing...
Love you guys! Thanks for wearing your protective gear. It's such an important practice. Be well. ❤
Great video of boat jobs, but I was disappointed that we never got to see the finished product with the starlink satellite disc. I was waiting to see Warren's handy work, but he never showed us. And copper coat seems to be the way to go if you want it to last for a long time.
Dang sorry about that, next video for sure!
@@WEsail Show off your handiwork Warren. Brag about it!
OMG, I remember to well sanding the bottom of my 40ft trawler, and it was not a fond memory. That Tyvex suit was never comfortable and I can't believe it was to welcome in 100 degree heat. We had the weevils in our rice at home and now we keep it in sealable hard plastic containers as soon as it comes home from the market. Absolutely love your videos, lookin forward to seeing the copper bottom.
Hey awesome, thanks for messaging!!
Groovy episode. The boat is looking cool.
I loved the bare feet shot. Reminds me of people on TV that sit behind a desk w tie, jacket, pressed shirt and then..., shorts and no shoes! for some crazy reason LMAO!
Haha right!??
I'll be very interested to see how coppercoat works for you. Apparently when it works it's amazing. Phil
Yep we have heard all the stories, good and bad, and so far our only complaint is the work involved and the COST!!
@@WEsail yeah... not cheap and a shit-ton of work!
Love your channel!
awesome work, tom is good adition to it
I feel your pain…major haulout in June…..thanks, Andrew
Hi you guys! Jeff Broome here... SOOO glad to see you're back on VA (such as she is lol) and that you're moving towards getting her back in the water so the lifestyle that you've got me (and many more) working towards. Can;t wait to see how she looks when you're done! By the way, how was your vacation on land?
Hey guys you started sanding and the shot showed your dingy not tarped sure hope you did it otherwise that’s another project to be added
What works well with the weevils is to transfer the content of pasta, rice and whatever else into sealable, bpa free, light weight containers and then add 2 to 3 dried bay leaves in each jars. Good luck
In the opening segment were you walking along the public dock in Raiatea? With gas station at the end? If I spent 2 weeks there fixing, oh gee!, stuff and stocking up. But I found a better market in Fare.
Hey good eye!!
❤❤❤
Be aware, I did the Starlink conversion in our RV eliminating the 120v Starlink router and going to our dedicated router using a 12v to 48v POE injector. I could not reconnect after a software update and had to go back to the Starlink router and reboot. I am sure we could go back to the conversion setup but keep the Starlink router handy!
Wow good to know, thank you for that!!
We exchanged emails yesterday. Best of luck from B and S
nice to see you back on your boat guys....love ya. i think you already know, there is something weird with the audio of one of your microfones❤
Hey thanks for that, we need feedback like that!! We will listen for it and correct it
Just curious what grit sandpaper was used? Looked like Warren had a grinding pad, and then followed up by a palm sander with maybe 80 grit?
Yep close, I started with the grinder with 40 grit to remove the really tough top layers, and then Tom followed with an orbital with 80 grit and that seemed to be the ticket!
Jeez, Tom just looked at the paint and it fell off...Kiwis are tough
💪
So where did all that super toxic old bottom paint go? That dust is poison.In the beautiful water after the next rain? Oh well. It was expedient. Floating chain is good but so is using vacuum pickups on your sanders. I think you got away with one there.
Most of it already went into the sea - as you could easily see due to the pastel-colored hull. The biocide in bottom paint is copper - the time of super toxic stuff is long gone... 🤗
Can a chemical paint stripper be used to remove the bottom paint?
I'm working backwards on watch to catch up lol. Things are looking good.
