Ruth(ie), thank you for doing such a nice job of putting it all together each week and for so many years and episodes. You consistently deliver something enjoyable to watch, and you raise the bar for others. You truly have a gift for storytelling.
Garrett and Ruth binge watched the build and the dream coming true. Quiet an amazing accomplishment. Really enjoyed the home town sail episode only one thing missing" Garrett's dad " wish he could've enjoyed the accomplishment of his son . He would've been so proud! Keep on keeping on ! Hold fast!
I had hoped you 2 wud meet... These 2 young sailor's so remind me of You & Jule's... I bet you guy's had a phenomenal conversation.... Fair winds ✌🏼💗😊❣️
You 2 keep getting younger. Don't change a thing. Work, play, have fun and enjoy yourselves. Rewards for the last 7 yrs of sacrifice. To further destinations.
I have to agree Ruthie makes a very pleasing figurehead. I think sports illustrated have just despatched a talent scout to find you for their Christmas edition. Great to see you guys having some fun, you have earned it.
I spent a lot of my Summers in 1962-1964 around the Isthmus and Avalon. My Dad had a 30ft sloop which I learned to sail when I was 15. By 16 I was taking her out to Catalina with my high school buddies. The best times were July 4th. 😊👍
''26 miles across the sea Santa Catalina is waiting for me'' We slow danced to this song - as kids in the 1950's We dreamed of Catalina. We still remember.
Beautiful. Like the hand rails. I made mine from Koa. I bought years ago (30+). Now they look sweet on the roof of our Shantyboat!! Continue, youse guys are an inspiration!!! 💕💕
I love your story. When I was a child I read a book called Madons rock by hamond ines. I loved the book it kept me interested. Your story is the same I cannot wait for the next chapters. Love your work and your dream it's a grate story and I can view your dreams and story as it evolves. You are gold keep up your dreams it's inspirational.
I am so happy for u guys. I started following you years ago. It was amazing adventure. We never met but I’m still happy for u. Have fun be safe and enjoy your hard work
It’s so great to see you two enjoying yourselves, instead of constantly working! It’s certainly been worth every minute, I’m sure & the Boat is just magnificent and draws every eye for miles around. I’m looking forward to more of your adventures…..❤
Santa Catalina Island is a magical place. I've been going there for 50 years. Cat Harbor, the back side of the ismuth is very peaceful. It's Los Angeles' little slice of heaven.
Such a treat to see you enjoying the fruits of your long labours. Boat looks so grand and stands out from all the others. Hope there's more to come. Sometimes i think you two AND the boat may grow fins and vanish altogether.
" how does that feel? I'm peeing, How does that feel, hahahaha, O brother, I guess we're still kids in so many ways eh! lol enjoying the projects along with your sailing adventures.
Thanks for the video. Hydrovane is the best, but someday you may need a storm sail for the Hydrovane. We use 1/4" plywood half the size of the regular vane, steered us in a Force 10 gale off the Bay of Biscay.
I say this every week but it's ment from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for sharing your lives with us... I am grateful for the wisdom an lessons shared.. Rediviva is looking beautiful with each passing day as she sails an as you get her read for blue water trip .. 8 have no doubt you both got this... Congratulations on new auto pilot....
i think u guys r livin the dream..she needs a large supply of swim suites 4 the warmer climates u r going 2..love that u took me along n cant wait til nxt one..huggs
Ruth, you are so beautiful inside and out.. so positive. Garrett, you are a friggin rock, Boyo. You two are perfect for each other and have come so far. From pouring concrete, to planking hulls and decks, to rigging the rig, you deserve every bit of your happiness. You Have Officially Arrived.. Bravo Zulu!, you are the A-Team... and the best is yet to come... J.B.!!
I'm so glad tosee you've got the handrails fitted~ much safer. another great episode,thanks. PS. not jealous at all sat here in cold wet windy England ha ha
You forgot to put hand rails on the inside the cabin, where all the predrilled holes are. Have the bolts do double duty, holding handrails inside and out.
We so look forward to seeing you two each week. My wife is 84 and I am 85 and we are reliving our youth through you and, "we're going with you"
I hope your fairy tale can be limitless. Thanks for taking "us" along.

2 boats with the same mindset. Build it from the keel up and live your best life on it!
You 2 keep getting younger. Don't change a thing. Work, play, have fun and enjoy yourselves. Rewards for the last 7 yrs of sacrifice. To further destinations.
Looking good there , the Hydrovane will be like another crew member on passages

I’m not sure if Ruth gets enough ups for fantastic camera work, editing and voiceover. She has a real talent. Thanks for all your hard work.
Enjoy you deserve it you have built a bit of magic.
I guess a swim ladder is on the to-do list. Thanks for sharing!
One hand for the boat. One hand for you. Just wanted something to grab on to when traveling up or back on starboard and port. finally got it.
If this is a "Limitless Fairy Tail" I will be there in the morning bringing limitless free beer and limitless smiles. Blessings all.
Congrats on the Hydrovane! The New handrails look awesome!
Hooray on the hydrovane!

Another groovy video - Love Catalina Island.
Keep up the excellent work on your vessel.
''26 miles across the sea

We dreamed of Catalina. We still remember.
My submarine pulled into Catalina for some R&R. We had a ball on the island. Great memories. USS Permit SSN594
The sheer Joy you two are having after all the years building your new home gives me goosebumps I am so happy for you guys
You’re living the life everyone wish’s they could have. Thanks for sharing
He didn’t really make a cent

Everyone doesn't wish for this lifestyle. Say what you mean.
Very impressed with your progress on the boat. Your videos are top notch and very interesting to watch every week.
Beautiful. Like the hand rails. I made mine from Koa. I bought years ago (30+). Now they look sweet on the roof of our Shantyboat!!

Donna approves of the Hydrovane decision.
Great video! Esp. love the 'off-cuts'.
It’s so great to see you two enjoying yourselves, instead of constantly working! It’s certainly been worth every minute, I’m sure & the Boat is just magnificent and draws every eye for miles around. I’m looking forward to more of your adventures…..❤
Good tunes Ruthie. Good call on the Hydrovane!
Just missed your Avalon visit. Great job.
There are channels with people and sailboats, but few that are the sailing life like you all.
I am glad you are enjoying the fruits of your labor. The harbor you are anchored in is beautiful.
Santa Catalina Island is a magical place. I've been going there for 50 years. Cat Harbor, the back side of the ismuth is very peaceful. It's Los Angeles' little slice of heaven.
Your joy is infectious. 💙

Nice job with the grab rails.
Ruth is looking good in that new bathing suit 😊
Poetry in motion. Beauty in flow. Top Shelf production. One of your best yet. Wow.
It's good for the soul, seeing you both living the dream you've worked so hard to create. You deserve it! Bless you both. Xx

16:29 privious 'update' typo. LOL Long-time follower - Great episode.
Very nice, you are great :)
Missing that warm water now that we’re back up in SF! Go take a dip for us some time as you stay in that gorgeous warmth!
Hi from France. Yesterday I saw the first episodes for the second time. What a path you have traveled, what a great job and what a wonderful couple!
Particularly well done episode. Enjoyed it!
844 views and only 140 likes, come on people, mash the like button! So great to see you guys out living the good life!
AGREE! I think people just forget it is an easy way to say Thank YOU .and help them.
That’s great! I had been wondering about this. Excited to hear what kind it is and how you do installation.
Just Good
I'd like to see a contrast shot of the red hull amongst all those white boats.
I was there 50 years ago, it looks very familiar. Love your show, have a fun time.
Ruthie ROCKS!
The good old Opinel knife....so amazing to see how many people around the globe have this little cheap french beauty....fair winds
spent a weekend on that same Mooring in Two Harbors.
Dam Ruth nice Aft😊
You may have to put your splicing skills to use and make a rope ladder the side. Great sailing channel, you have accomplished so much!
Now that's where you want a Rope ladder over the side
Ruth, you are so beautiful inside and out.. so positive. Garrett, you are a friggin rock, Boyo. You two are perfect for each other and have come so far. From pouring concrete, to planking hulls and decks, to rigging the rig, you deserve every bit of your happiness. You Have Officially Arrived..

I love Catalina. But haven't been there in many years. I can see there have been many changes. Enjoy your time there.
It looks like you've found a great spot to add boarding steps under the rear Ratlines tandouts.
You forgot to put hand rails on the inside the cabin, where all the predrilled holes are. Have the bolts do double duty, holding handrails inside and out.
I want to see you in San Diego!!! I can maybe get you dock space in Coronado!!
When dividing Catalina there is a thermocline about 8 to 10 feet down where the water gets colder.
A wise man once said One Hand For the Ship One Hand For Your Self.
Grab rails look great 👍🏽 , hey bra , build your girl a boarding ladder 🪜 lol. Love you guys.
-21C, or about -6 here in Edmonton Alberta today. Must be nice
