Anyone, couple or not, that saw that boat and decides to DIY it back into shape not only deserves the boat, but deserves all the support and admiration for it. Well done! I'll be right behind you in a few.
Regarding crew and privacy, the boat we lived on had a very large cockpit - and when people hinted that they would like to visit, we said it drinks 8, feeds 4, but sleeps 2. That was it.
and _they_ are already four... though the kids are a bit furry. 59:33 - I think people should DUCKDUCKGO it! I mean the Evil Empire, Alpha-Google-Omega? What is Alphabet's ESG score? Answer WAY TOO HIGH!
Hey. Just wanted to reach out and say it’s awesome to see you living your dreams despite your health struggles. I was diagnosed with lupus at age 17. I just turned 30 and had to start dialysis this year. Everything you said about just living your life is very relatable. Thank you for sharing.
So impressed you got everything back together! You had the interior in a million pieces and you managed to get all back together and looking great. Great job! Happy Holidays! Can’t wait to see you in the wind! Peace
The impact that you have created with this channel is extraordinary for the positive energy that you took on the challenge to repair the boat. An extraordinary message for all those who said that it could not be achieved and for many others who, like you, have their own dreams and will see inspiration in your story to jump into living them. Well done!
Merry Christmas! I was confused for a moment and thought you were joking about it being your boat, but it looks GREAT! Despite your backlog of footage, I'm anxious to see everything that happened from last week's video to this one. There is a lot that you did in reassembling all the pieces and I want to see how you did it. Stay safe.
I absolutely love this casual and fun Q&A format. I'm so happy you've splashed already! Love the dogs. Love the plans. Love the ideas. Totally looking forward to jumping into 2021 with you guys ❤️ Brett's house was a camper, right? A class C maybe? Jade, was yours Rapunzel's tower..?
Closed Captions - This video is so awesomely long that it's taking UA-cam forever to populate captions. Standby they are coming!! Also - This was our first video with a new camera and new microphone (there's a story there lol) So we apologize the sound is a bit all over the place!
@@Zilenz1 Yeah of course.... This was our first video using our new camera and microphone. We had the old set up pretty figured out but now we need to re learn how to balance it out!
@@Zilenz1 I can tell you it may just be due to distance from microphone and not adjusting the pitch. Over the years I learned to modify the sound through out my videos and now on this new channel of mine I am still learning. Also if there is a auto mic they try to cancel other noise and sometimes really screw up the volume. Like watch Cable at 100 to hear the the movies and the commercial comes on and gives you a concussion broken ear drums and a mild coronary episode.
I'm still watching (in the middle). So many things to say, but just had to jump in and say I was so touched by the way Brett just jumped in and pulled back Jade's hair in the most tender of ways while she was using rolling pin. It's the little things! You 2 have an amazing relationship! I hope it is as solid and tender in real life as it is on UA-cam...but something tells me it's that and even better! The world needs more people like the 2 of you!!
Ok..a but further now..listening as I run errands. Almost had a car accident laughing so hard regarding Jade's retirement plan... mom and daughters all living together after all their husband's die. lmao! Watch out Brett...they may be Black Widows ;). Seriously, I hope that never happens and you two have a very long and happy life together filled with the love that overflows from you both so naturally!! ❤ Thanks for the burst of laughter though, Jade! Much appreciated ;)
We REALLY don’t need to know how much YOU spent on everything... we NEED to know how much WE should budget to do the same. So please think as if ‘ If we had this to do again, how much would we budget for initial purchase, repairs, upgrades on existing yacht, living expenses, etc?’
Sounds like a great plan on filming, editing and keeping us in videos. Enjoy your life first. Have learned a lot of the amazing progress of going from salvage to end product. Wishing you both safe passage through the pandemic.
I started watching your videos at the end and I wasn't interested thinking that you were a couple of rich kids enjoying an extraordinary boat and one day, out of curiosity I went back to the beginning of the story and I was really impressed. I congratulate you, you deserve the boat you have and you deserve to enjoy it
Sorry I’m still catching up on videos something about life getting in the way. Thanks heaps for sharing so much. Looking forward to watching the rest of the refit and where you go from there. Tonga is amazing. I’ve only been there for work so very limited stays of 2 nights or so but such a genuine, caring, friendly people. Cheers from Australia.
Kind of stumbled onto your channel by accident a while back and was immediately intrigued. Subscribed that minute. You both have great personalities. As for your boat, I think it's a great testament to how well it was built. I mean it continued to sail four more years after it was damaged. Y'all definitely built it stronger and better. Congratulations on getting the boat done and in the water. I am looking forward to seeing what your future holds. Merry Christmas y'all. Much love from Georgia.
It's so great to see someone living a go getter life and being chronically ill. I am chronically ill with very similar limitations as Jade. I am learning what it is like to live this life.
Happy for you guys to get that monster boat back in the water. Glad that you are still together, can only imagine the stress of deconstructing and reconstructing everything that you had to remove to rebuild the grid. Spring is right around the corner, good luck with your next phase!
I think that you guys and and dan and cika from sailing uma will be great friends when you can finally get off the hook and put the sails up.. you all are so much alike
Our sail boat is a couple marinas over from yours in the same town (don't worry I won't say where😉). Totally bummed we didn't have the chance to meet you. Hope you guys have the awesomest time following your dream!!! Best of luck to you both and GREAT JOB on the repairs.
Wow! ....So impressed. I’m sure you guys are extremely proud and relieved that you are finally approaching the “start” of the next phase to sailing the globe. You two have captivated the interests, imagination and support of so many followers. The many videos over the last 6 months have demonstrated what could only be described as a monumental accomplishment through mostly hard work, commitment and ambition. Not surprisingly, you have shown yourselves to be extremely thoughtful and resourceful in your efforts. This last video seems to be the first time you’ve been willing to provide more insight into your personal history, background and goals. Your collective intelligence and talent are again highlighted along with your deep personal commitment to each other. However, what also comes through is a sense of traditional values and sensibility and wish for privacy that seems to be at odds with your new career path as utube bloggers. As stated , the material accomplishments of rebuilding your boat are all the more incredible in light of the fact that you appear to have limited technical or engineering skills pertaining to boat building. You’re videos don’t appear to be targeted towards the diy “how to” audience. Additionally, you’ve been extremely guarded when discussing any resources or advice in how to proceed with the various stages of your project. I do understand the need/desire to do things “your way”. We all feel that way and we all get more stubborn in that regard as we get older. Personally, I am quite old, especially in relation to you kids. But I certainly remember the ambition and desire to tackle similar challenges at a similar time in my life. The fact that you took on this endeavor by jumping in with both feet and succeeded! .....will give you two a solid footing to last the rest of your days. Regards and long life.
Merry Christmas, and love watching your videos. Your Flight instructor Jim A. suggested your adventure, and I'm glad he did. We are sailboat mates with a few other friends that have been on a few sailing adventures, have another trip planned in April... hopefully. Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Jade and Brett! And many congrats getting you boat launched! This is a truly unique video. Showing how far you have got made myday, I pay true respect to your efforts and perseverance. Hat off! I‘m looking forward to the videos of the repairs and even more to the ones about your nautical voyages. Take care guys!
Ok, so I just started watching from the beginning. Your boat is absolutely beautiful! After seeing it stripped I couldn’t believe seeing y’all in the water. Now I’m watching you in the Bahamas and what a beautiful life you have on her. You two are enjoyable to watch as a couple and I had became curious about your lives so I started from the beginning…and this is my favorite so far because you’ve answered all my questions. As always, I want to thank you for sharing your lives with us. Love from Rebecca in South Carolina! God bless you both and keep you safe in his hands.❤️
Hi from Waxhaw, NC. I am a long time member of your channel. Whenever we have burned on or just plan stuck on stuff, we add water to it, boil and it comes right off. Saves on spending time scouring my pots and pans. The word you're looking for is "Steward". As in, being a good steward of our environment; giving back and protecting that which God has given us. You are a gifted artist - love the picture you showed us of your dog. Both of you are so talented. To some, God gives only one gift to others He gives multiple talents - you both have been blessed. God bless you both and I look forward to following your channel for many years to come. p.r.morehouse - author
I’m so happy that you got the boat back in the water. I was a video not long back that made it sound like you’d never get it back together. It was hard work on both your parts and I’m so proud of you both for determination and grit. It looks fantastic now that’s finished. Stepping a new mast is the easy part. Beautiful job!! I look forward to more of your videos.✌️
Even though this is an old video I have loved learning about you two and your lives. So wonderful. The two of you are just so adorable and so likable. You definitely need to pass your gene pool on to this hate filled world . Some light to add when the time is right. XO
Hi , If you have no bits left over , Well done . She floats and no leaks , all the better .An amazing work program and an enjoyable trip along with you .Take care , Happy new Year .
Guys you are doing really well. I only started watching your videos a few days ago and I'm already hooked, your both hard workers and just down to earth people. I'm a sv delos fan and can already see what the future holds for you both. Beautiful places to see and just the perfect life to live. Good luck for the future, I'll be watching 😉😎
Really enjoyed the video guys, a really good insight, I suppose the balancing act between sharing enough but keeping your privacy is a difficult one, so thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the “flash forward” sneak peak of your dream afloat! So great to see her all back together! I’ve really been enjoying watching this project, and it gives me inspiration as I continue to work on projects on our 1988 Sabre 42 sloop up here in Maine. It’s been really great “getting to know” both of you and this video was a really enjoyable peek into your thoughts and plans for the boat and your future! I wish you all the best in the new year, and hope you had a fantastic Christmas afloat!!
Loved seeing the interior. Great job! And understand that it takes a long time to edit. You did a great job getting your weekly videos boiled down to an enjoyable length, and your editing effort really paid off. Please keep doing it! And happy holidays.
Great episode. Love the Q&A format over other channels’ live streams. Please update us on the cost of the boat and the refit - many other sailing channels have. You and Parlay Revival are the only two addressing salvage boats. Maybe I can afford a salvaged boat!
I, for one, don't care a whit about the backlog. I am totally pleased, thrilled, and generally happy that you got it all put back together and are in the water. We lived on a sailboat back in the 90's and didn't have to deal with anything like what you had to do. If you don't count pulling and engine on a lift and have it twirling slowly in the main salon for almost a week while I and a diesel marine mechanic worked on it. I am pleased you are waiting on the mast! Good job and Merry Christmas!
Good choice to blast through the boat to get in the water and sail to warmer waters. Learning how to pace yourself so you don't break is quite a challenge. My best to you as you learn what those "I have to stop at this point." signs are.
I love how your tiny boat kitchen is an upgrade to your lifestyle. "Look, it's an oven that actually works.' Finding joy in the smallest delights is key to life long satisfaction.
Congratulations on getting the boat back in the water. Fantastic job. I really enjoyed the creativity of your update. Thank you and best wishes for a safe, productive and healthy 2021.
Go Team Evans!!! Job well done!! Congrats... The fact you got that interior back together is impressive. I was watching you take it apart and thought... holy shit... I would've ended up with a box of leftover parts.. Jade, your dog sketch is awesome.. Can't wait to see your gallery. Be safe guys. 👍
WoW !!! What a surprise! I thought it will take another 2 to 3 months of watching you guys finish the boat! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you 4 !
Truely love being a part of you guys journey. Much peace and happiness you’ve given to me and now I you. Stay true, stay in love with each other and stay in love with the sea. Deepest respect and my heart sings with thee!
It seems to me that sailing and living serendipitously goes hand and hand. Being safe and maintenance would be the focus of each day... Excited for you both.
I don't know about anyone else, but I could almost literally watch dogs playing all day long...lol. Really like your channel by the way. You two seem super genuine and have good spirits through your boat rebuild. Looking forward to seeing you guys out on the water. Much luck and positive thoughts for your future.
Hey guys Merry Christmas! Thanks for the sneak peek forward! Ok a few things ... first the gingerbread house was the sand peoples crawler. I saw that asap lol not sur what the other house was maybe frank loyd wright?? The part about what you guys spent on the boat.... I agree you should keep your personal finances to yourself no ones business... with that being said myself included I am curious what you got the boat for and what the fix cost was simply to know if I could ever even consider trying a project like this one.I think this is why most people would like to get even a ball park of a cost on a project like this...and oh my gosh your art work is amazing!!!! I can’t Waite to see your special project! I’m a wood turner so I appreciate what you are doing! Love your channel and really enjoy watching your project! Keep up the great work! I can’t believe you guys get hate comments ! You are the nicest couple! Please have a safe and fine Holliday .....
Highly recommend the Scottish Highlands and Islands - there's some beautiful places with amazing clear water up there! Harris, Skye, the Orkneys etc are all just stunning.
This is one of your most awesome videos! Of course I love the process videos, the how-to's, etc... But the question/answer format is great. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I'm very much looking forward to the video regarding financial aspects, as my wife and I are looking seriously into diving into a live-aboard boat project ourselves. I realize that every project is different. However, having watched your process from the beginning (as well as Uma, and a few others), having a basic understanding of the costs involved with glassing (overall amounts of materials, brushes, cups, glass, resin, etc.), the marina (on the hard v docked), and other related projects and costs can be used to get a general idea as we look into a project boat ourselves (with the obvious caveat of budgeting twice as much for the inevitable mistakes, additional projects, and other over-runs). So cool how you guys met, as well! We love great stories like that. My wife it working (in the other room) and I have to keep pausing the video to answer questions that she asks as she can only hear you through the doorway and misses some of it. :D Looks like we'll be watching again later...
PV was awesome in high school! YEAH, another nut case like myself. I'm still friends with two of my teammates who vaulted. Great episode and Jade, we are all here for you as you deal with this new issue in your life.
This video is 1.5 hours long but I feel like I just hung out with you guys for the day! So nice to see you guys enjoying the fruits of your labour! Merry Christmas! You and 🐕🐕 are very welcome to New Zealand 🇳🇿
You two are a hoot. Congratulations on the splash your videos are very uplifting can’t wait to see your adventures. Won’t be long before UA-cam is your full time job. You both have an awesome personality. I personally look forward to your posts every week not only to see the progress you’ve made but to also see you two goofballs have fun.
DHC 8, one of the best turboprops with an impeccable safety record. I flew in one through a major snow storm from Baltimore to Newark, and when the de-icing boots were deployed, and the ice got thrown against the outside of the cabin, EVERYONE got really quiet. But after researching it, that's what it's supposed to do. I kissed the ground when we got in safely. Congrats on getting your boat launched. Honestly thought it wouldn't happen.
Not meaning to step on too many toes here however your friend from “how to sailing” did a couple of episodes regarding the two of you and I mentioned that I would look at certain things he called costs that really aren’t, at least to me, and other costs we disagreed on had more to do with where do you put it in the ledger, in the column for it’s a salvage boat or this is just part of the cost of owning a boat. Anyway, enjoy your videos and have been here since you were on the phone with the auction to buy the boat and hopefully get to enjoy your videos for sometime to come and may it be a long time. Happy holidays to you and may the new year bring you happiness and joy.
I can’t wait to watch every minute of this video! You two are really amazing, the way that you’ve done the incredibly labor intensive fiberglassing of your keel!
“A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
For good reef diving , The Red Sea! I worked on a dive boat there a long time ago , great diving !! Loved the way you worked on the boat , love the boat too , you get on so well together keep on you tubing ...
You two are a breath of fresh air and I'm amazed at the matter of fact way you approached the fiberglass work. That would have scared off most boat owners for sure. You may want to consider a crew for long crossings. Crossing the Pacific is a long haul and having experienced folks on board to bust up the time spent on watch will make your trip a lot easier. Also take a long look at the Australian regs on bringing dogs into their waters. It can be problematic.
Very Merry Christmas guys, I though the restoration of my 21ft Coribee was a project, didn't even scratch the surface of your project, awsome job guys can't wait to see the day the boat returns to the water :-)
Tony & Susan here, we are sure you saw the two part review/critique of your built, “cannot remember the channel name” we thought it was fair and noticed he did not steal any of your content. Any comment on that. We are vary impressed with your staying on task and completing the project. We will see you out on the water. Soon.
Love the video guys, it was good to catch up closer to real time. You look great together and it's easy to see how much fun you're having so keep doing what you're already doing 👍👍
We had a sheep dog when we were cruising , Thought every dolphin was a sheep , So glad youv splashed , Now arnt you glad , Lifes going to get better every day - Lifes not a rehearsal , Enjoy .
Holidays with the Evans, I'm already looking forward to the next holiday! Great job on the video you have done well with your dogs, mine is set to vacuum mode all the time if he sees food left out he cleans it up!
Thanks for taking time to answer so many questions. Really interesting to clarify so many things. 😀👍 The audio on this video is a bit tricky with the levels dropping. Nothing a quick volume change on my computer couldn't fix though. ☺️
Cool stuff - boat looks great. Since I shoot a lot of climbing most years (except this year hanging out with strangers is not a thing) its happy sad to think about climbing. Lot of climbing around here.
Merry Christmas to you four! So happy to see you sea worthy and enjoying that hard work. Great candid show and I don't think anyone blames you one bit for your timeframe. Now that I know your rock climbers I look forward to that slant on the adventures. Hopefully you will reconsider crew for long passages.. The old woman in a shoe was a guess at one point.. Cheers and happy New Year early!
Anyone, couple or not, that saw that boat and decides to DIY it back into shape not only deserves the boat, but deserves all the support and admiration for it. Well done! I'll be right behind you in a few.
Can you please enable subtitles for traslation? We are a small group that follows you from Italy.
Thanks for the kindness
This makes my heart happy :-) Seeya out there!
Regarding crew and privacy, the boat we lived on had a very large cockpit - and when people hinted that they would like to visit, we said it drinks 8, feeds 4, but sleeps 2. That was it.

Best answer ever!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I just binge watched all your videos. You have a lot to be proud of. Great job! Looking forward to more videos.
So impressed you got everything back together! You had the interior in a million pieces and you managed to get all back together and looking great. Great job! Happy Holidays! Can’t wait to see you in the wind! Peace
You two are solid. Thanks for letting us get to know you better. This old cowboy is looking forward to seeing you succeed. Stay courageous!!!

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.
And naming the boat "42" is the next step.
Always know where your towel is.
I can't agree more or stress enough: never forget your towel.
Ship name suggestion is a win
And don't forget to feed the dolphins...
Jade, you are such a talented artist! That sketch of Penny is so realistic! Incredible!
I absolutely love this casual and fun Q&A format. I'm so happy you've splashed already! Love the dogs. Love the plans. Love the ideas. Totally looking forward to jumping into 2021 with you guys ❤️ Brett's house was a camper, right? A class C maybe? Jade, was yours Rapunzel's tower..?

@@Zilenz1 Yeah of course.... This was our first video using our new camera and microphone. We had the old set up pretty figured out but now we need to re learn how to balance it out!

Got to wait till captions are up to watch, hearing issues, but automatic like from me! Merry Christmas!
I heard a rumor that YT was disabling CC for many videos??? Probably false or half-true. Just the kind of info I like to share in 2020!
64k subs already is unbelievable guys. I’ve never seen a sailing channel grow this fast. Merry Christmas !
I'm still watching (in the middle).

Thank you for uploading a video over Christmas, so merry Christmas / happy holidays and a happy new year to you!
Congrats on splashing! Most important boating saying. "It's not leaking"
We REALLY don’t need to know how much YOU spent on everything... we NEED to know how much WE should budget to do the same.
So please think as if ‘ If we had this to do again, how much would we budget for initial purchase, repairs, upgrades on existing yacht, living expenses, etc?’
Thank you for giving this old man in London so much pleasure over a strange Covid Christmas

SO NICE TO SEE YOU KINDA RELAXED AGAIN / THOSE REPAIRS WERE INTENSE
I know its a huge jump but it does give us a look at where we are headed in the story. Cant wait to see the steps in between.
Wow!

Naysayers: You'll never launch!!!
Jade and Brett: Hold our beer...
Well done guys!
Merry Christmas, and love watching your videos. Your Flight instructor Jim A. suggested your adventure, and I'm glad he did. We are sailboat mates with a few other friends that have been on a few sailing adventures, have another trip planned in April... hopefully.
Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas. I admire your perserverience and attention to detail. Great job with the hull repairs!
Merry Christmas Jade and Brett!
And many congrats getting you boat launched!
This is a truly unique video. Showing how far you have got made myday, I pay true respect to your efforts and perseverance. Hat off!
I‘m looking forward to the videos of the repairs and even more to the ones about your nautical voyages.
Take care guys!

Even though this is an old video I have loved learning about you two and your lives. So wonderful. The two of you are just so adorable and so likable. You definitely need to pass your gene pool on to this hate filled world . Some light to add when the time is right. XO
Hi , If you have no bits left over , Well done . She floats and no leaks , all the better .An amazing work program and an enjoyable trip along with you .Take care , Happy new Year .
You both are so fun to watch. Can’t wait to see your sailing posts.
Guys you are doing really well. I only started watching your videos a few days ago and I'm already hooked, your both hard workers and just down to earth people. I'm a sv delos fan and can already see what the future holds for you both. Beautiful places to see and just the perfect life to live. Good luck for the future, I'll be watching 😉😎
Really enjoyed the video guys, a really good insight, I suppose the balancing act between sharing enough but keeping your privacy is a difficult one, so thanks for sharing!
So good to see you in the cabin after your enormous amount of hard work completely understandable for video production delay living comes first
Thanks so much for the “flash forward” sneak peak of your dream afloat! So great to see her all back together!
I’ve really been enjoying watching this project, and it gives me inspiration as I continue to work on projects on our 1988 Sabre 42 sloop up here in Maine.
It’s been really great “getting to know” both of you and this video was a really enjoyable peek into your thoughts and plans for the boat and your future!
I wish you all the best in the new year, and hope you had a fantastic Christmas afloat!!
Loved seeing the interior. Great job! And understand that it takes a long time to edit. You did a great job getting your weekly videos boiled down to an enjoyable length, and your editing effort really paid off. Please keep doing it! And happy holidays.
Great episode. Love the Q&A format over other channels’ live streams. Please update us on the cost of the boat and the refit - many other sailing channels have. You and Parlay Revival are the only two addressing salvage boats. Maybe I can afford a salvaged boat!
I, for one, don't care a whit about the backlog. I am totally pleased, thrilled, and generally happy that you got it all put back together and are in the water. We lived on a sailboat back in the 90's and didn't have to deal with anything like what you had to do. If you don't count pulling and engine on a lift and have it twirling slowly in the main salon for almost a week while I and a diesel marine mechanic worked on it. I am pleased you are waiting on the mast! Good job and Merry Christmas!
I agree. Don't bother with the backlog. Move forward. We're all dying to see your next adventures on the water.
Good choice to blast through the boat to get in the water and sail to warmer waters. Learning how to pace yourself so you don't break is quite a challenge. My best to you as you learn what those "I have to stop at this point." signs are.
I love how your tiny boat kitchen is an upgrade to your lifestyle. "Look, it's an oven that actually works.' Finding joy in the smallest delights is key to life long satisfaction.
Congratulations on getting the boat back in the water. Fantastic job. I really enjoyed the creativity of your update. Thank you and best wishes for a safe, productive and healthy 2021.
Go Team Evans!!!
Job well done!!
Congrats...
The fact you got that interior back together is impressive. I was watching you take it apart and thought... holy shit...
I would've ended up with a box of leftover parts..
Jade, your dog sketch is awesome..
Can't wait to see your gallery.
Be safe guys. 👍
WoW !!! What a surprise! I thought it will take another 2 to 3 months of watching you guys finish the boat! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you 4 !
Truely love being a part of you guys journey. Much peace and happiness you’ve given to me and now I you.
Stay true, stay in love with each other and stay in love with the sea.
Deepest respect and my heart sings with thee!
It seems to me that sailing and living serendipitously goes hand and hand. Being safe and maintenance would be the focus of each day... Excited for you both.
You guys are great. Merry Christmas. Jade is a classic and natural beauty with no vocal fry!! Keep them coming
I don't know about anyone else, but I could almost literally watch dogs playing all day long...lol. Really like your channel by the way. You two seem super genuine and have good spirits through your boat rebuild. Looking forward to seeing you guys out on the water. Much luck and positive thoughts for your future.
Hey guys Merry Christmas! Thanks for the sneak peek forward! Ok a few things ... first the gingerbread house was the sand peoples crawler. I saw that asap lol not sur what the other house was maybe frank loyd wright?? The part about what you guys spent on the boat.... I agree you should keep your personal finances to yourself no ones business... with that being said myself included I am curious what you got the boat for and what the fix cost was simply to know if I could ever even consider trying a project like this one.I think this is why most people would like to get even a ball park of a cost on a project like this...and oh my gosh your art work is amazing!!!! I can’t Waite to see your special project! I’m a wood turner so I appreciate what you are doing! Love your channel and really enjoy watching your project! Keep up the great work! I can’t believe you guys get hate comments ! You are the nicest couple! Please have a safe and fine Holliday .....
Wow, I was watching thinking they bought a new boat - amazing transformation - well done. Can’t wait to see some sailing - happy 2021!
I AM SO GLAD U GUYS MANAGED TO FIX THE BOAT!!!! Ive been following since day 1 !!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Merry Christmas, Nice to see two young people so industrious, and so much in love. All the very best for the future.
It was nice of you to introduce who you are . I'm looking forward to following you on your journeys !
Merry Christmas !
I like the real time updates, maybe consider having one once a quarter. My wife and I like that you two met in church.
Wow! What an amazing job guys! Admiration! Respect!
Highly recommend the Scottish Highlands and Islands - there's some beautiful places with amazing clear water up there! Harris, Skye, the Orkneys etc are all just stunning.
This is one of your most awesome videos! Of course I love the process videos, the how-to's, etc... But the question/answer format is great. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I'm very much looking forward to the video regarding financial aspects, as my wife and I are looking seriously into diving into a live-aboard boat project ourselves. I realize that every project is different. However, having watched your process from the beginning (as well as Uma, and a few others), having a basic understanding of the costs involved with glassing (overall amounts of materials, brushes, cups, glass, resin, etc.), the marina (on the hard v docked), and other related projects and costs can be used to get a general idea as we look into a project boat ourselves (with the obvious caveat of budgeting twice as much for the inevitable mistakes, additional projects, and other over-runs).
So cool how you guys met, as well! We love great stories like that. My wife it working (in the other room) and I have to keep pausing the video to answer questions that she asks as she can only hear you through the doorway and misses some of it. :D Looks like we'll be watching again later...
So excited for you. I was totally surprised to see that you launched! Amazing! Can’t wait to see the updates that get you into the water someday.
PV was awesome in high school! YEAH, another nut case like myself. I'm still friends with two of my teammates who vaulted. Great episode and Jade, we are all here for you as you deal with this new issue in your life.
This video is 1.5 hours long but I feel like I just hung out with you guys for the day! So nice to see you guys enjoying the fruits of your labour!
Merry Christmas! You and 🐕🐕 are very welcome to New Zealand 🇳🇿
Stay as real as you are guys, really love finding your channel. You are both so very natural in front of the camera.
You two are so positive and enjoyable to listen to. Great video and presentation of you two’s likes.
You two are a hoot. Congratulations on the splash your videos are very uplifting can’t wait to see your adventures. Won’t be long before UA-cam is your full time job. You both have an awesome personality. I personally look forward to your posts every week not only to see the progress you’ve made but to also see you two goofballs have fun.
DHC 8, one of the best turboprops with an impeccable safety record. I flew in one through a major snow storm from Baltimore to Newark, and when the de-icing boots were deployed, and the ice got thrown against the outside of the cabin, EVERYONE got really quiet. But after researching it, that's what it's supposed to do. I kissed the ground when we got in safely. Congrats on getting your boat launched. Honestly thought it wouldn't happen.
Not meaning to step on too many toes here however your friend from “how to sailing” did a couple of episodes regarding the two of you and I mentioned that I would look at certain things he called costs that really aren’t, at least to me, and other costs we disagreed on had more to do with where do you put it in the ledger, in the column for it’s a salvage boat or this is just part of the cost of owning a boat. Anyway, enjoy your videos and have been here since you were on the phone with the auction to buy the boat and hopefully get to enjoy your videos for sometime to come and may it be a long time. Happy holidays to you and may the new year bring you happiness and joy.
I can’t wait to watch every minute of this video! You two are really amazing, the way that you’ve done the incredibly labor intensive fiberglassing of your keel!
Your boat looks amazing - very roomy - can't wait for the full tour :) Merry Christmas - Happy New Year

Yeah, Inwas waiting for her to mention the signaling of spaceships for hitchhiking purposes. Don't Panic...

Why are you doing this. I agree, why not?
Such an amazing update guys. Wondering if you needed to motor south for mast installation.
Great effort guys 2 weeks ago in the water. Boat looks great and a top effort to get her done so quick.
For good reef diving , The Red Sea! I worked on a dive boat there a long time ago , great diving !! Loved the way you worked on the boat , love the boat too , you get on so well together keep on you tubing ...
You two are a breath of fresh air and I'm amazed at the matter of fact way you approached the fiberglass work. That would have scared off most boat owners for sure. You may want to consider a crew for long crossings. Crossing the Pacific is a long haul and having experienced folks on board to bust up the time spent on watch will make your trip a lot easier. Also take a long look at the Australian regs on bringing dogs into their waters. It can be problematic.
Great job kids and Merry Christmas, you deserve all the success that comes your way...
Merry Christmas and congrats on splashing the boat! So exciting! Would love to see a tour of the re-assembled boat sometime.
Very Merry Christmas guys, I though the restoration of my 21ft Coribee was a project, didn't even scratch the surface of your project, awsome job guys can't wait to see the day the boat returns to the water :-)
Tony & Susan here, we are sure you saw the two part review/critique of your built, “cannot remember the channel name” we thought it was fair and noticed he did not steal any of your content. Any comment on that. We are vary impressed with your staying on task and completing the project. We will see you out on the water. Soon.
Love the video guys, it was good to catch up closer to real time. You look great together and it's easy to see how much fun you're having so keep doing what you're already doing 👍👍
Love to see a tour of the completed boat, thanks for sharing!
Great to see you in the water. I want to see how you got the interior back together over all the new glass. The Dash 8 is a great plane, CAVU wishes.
We had a sheep dog when we were cruising , Thought every dolphin was a sheep , So glad youv splashed , Now arnt you glad , Lifes going to get better every day - Lifes not a rehearsal , Enjoy .
Holidays with the Evans, I'm already looking forward to the next holiday! Great job on the video you have done well with your dogs, mine is set to vacuum mode all the time if he sees food left out he cleans it up!
I think it's a sand crawler and the weasley's house, but I could be waaaaay off 😂 love you guys
Thanks for taking time to answer so many questions. Really interesting to clarify so many things. 😀👍 The audio on this video is a bit tricky with the levels dropping. Nothing a quick volume change on my computer couldn't fix though. ☺️
Cool stuff - boat looks great. Since I shoot a lot of climbing most years (except this year hanging out with strangers is not a thing) its happy sad to think about climbing. Lot of climbing around here.
Glad to see your boat looking great!....Merry Christmas...and better new year!
Three cheers for you both at Christmas. boat looks fantastic after all your hard work well worth it, was a real shock to see boat floating
Nice!
Thank you for all you bring to this channel!
Merry Christmas to you four! So happy to see you sea worthy and enjoying that hard work. Great candid show and I don't think anyone blames you one bit for your timeframe. Now that I know your rock climbers I look forward to that slant on the adventures. Hopefully you will reconsider crew for long passages.. The old woman in a shoe was a guess at one point.. Cheers and happy New Year early!
Merry Christmas🌲🎄can’t wait to see the final completion string of videos
Well done for getting in the water. Inspired by what you guys have done. Keep up the dream
