Keep in mind that a Sailor doesn't have to fight haters! It's Your Ship! Whether you are on shore leave or on the Boat! Think about it. Sailing is a whole lot like life, and what it gives you. There will be storms and rain and incidents and trials and frustration and Joy and accomplishment and Learning and So Much More than just making others happy and having them he haters. To do that is envy, You took the step and are living The Life! I would have to send a Novel to Splain myself and then I would get Haters too! Roflmao. It's Your Dream your choice and hopefully you will be Loved by many because of your Good Nature and ability to enjoy what you are doing whether on the boat or shore.

I would support So very many in the Sailing Community, and have been planning something! My bride of 42 years went to heaven and The Ship (Me) has been in the boatyard Neglected for too long and ready to do a refit! Another long story.....for later Keep Smiling and teach the crew to have smiles no matter what the weather if life throws at them Bye for now

David, you have revived the cild that i know is inside me. Of course i may have to come up with something now. Loved watching your family having fun and the smiles on passerbys.
The older I get the more I realized that I'm no different than when i was a teenager...just a bit jaded here and there. I'm definitely still a kid, and I'm convinced everyone else is as well, but they feel the need to cover it up. Be the kid that you know you are, but more importantly, what are you going to build? I want in!
@@david_shih several projects. Imagine pulling into a marina and not having to hook-up to their electricity! Picture a sailing community where insurance/assurance rates are below $4,500.00/yr to go anywhere. i am having my first sailing vessel built. It is a 72' x 38' catamaran. Nope , no realpractical sailing experience however, the builder's key man is taking a month off in order to teach me and i will be taking a 10 day course during the build. All electric. If i can properly install a gyro, i won't even need solar panels!!! Incinerator toilet and 2 composting toilets No black water!
@@lets_go_see_ whoa you have your hands full! That sounds like an amazing ship! Tell me more about this gyro, how does it replace solar? Is it a hydro generator of some sort?
@@david_shih The gyro is to stablize the actual generator. Mch like movie cameras. With this i could use this pertetual motion device to supply electricity while under sail.

Haha, you think? Goldmine, I like the sound of this! Unfortunately I’m using a bunch of off the shelf parts so doubt I could patent anything. I’m making a behind the scenes on exactly how we built it how we even got our hands on the mini dinghy in the first place! That way anyone can do it!
@@david_shih Absolutely. Certainly worth talking to somebody who specialises in patent law, etc and find out. The off the shelf parts you obviously can't patent, but the way they're put together.... A proper adaptor (rather than bits of wood and zip ties) might be the key here.
btw, the kid in the thumbnail walks around with a beenie baby parrot squeezed on his shoulder like a phone and says "ahoy matey" on a daily basis. I wish i could attach a video on this comment!
Bjorn!!!! how are ya brother? You missed the patreon zoom...probably because of the time?! We might do one tomorrow morning for those that missed it! Best!
oh no brother, i love it, im just super slow at it!!! about to finish up the behind the scenes of the boatshow and the mini dinghy wagon thingy! uploading tomorrow morning!
Yes they maybe “off the shelf parts” as you mentioned but the patenting is in a motorised dinghy that follows you around. I have a tenner (£10) to invest 🤣🤣
it is a bit dinky for sure....started to fall apart on me when i put all my weight in it! It held up great in the water though....i just wasn't skilled enough to stand up while being towed!
I was even thinking a 2nd channel of us doing non sailing projects like this. BC the normal viewers seem to only want to see the big boat stuff! Thoughts?
David don't know how you do it, you have more subscribers than people that post weekly videos with good content. But to get to 1 million subscribers you will need 2 post a week at least.
You’re so right right! Keeping to a schedule is the bane of my existence, but I’m figure it all out right now. No boat work in the next 2 weeks, settled in Mexico with the boat, let’s see if I can do 3 vids in the next 3 weeks!
@@david_shih Know you make the films can Mary edit for you? Well women seem to be better at details' & multi tasking. So just 3 kids, cooking cleaning & editing. Well Mary reminds me of a girl in high school that took pity on me & dated tme for a while. I had 1/2 her IQ so not a match.
@@MrBobVick the problem is we have 4 kids and if you ask her she’ll tell you it’s more like 5 because I’m a kid too. But Im definitely going to teach her how to edit when she has time. At the moment she’s handling all the business side of things for us! Damn would it be sweet to get to a million subs….one day :)
@@david_shih Forgot about the baby, that does make 4 & 5 with you. Watch "Itchy Boots" one Dutch gal, one motorcycle, no staff, and 2 clips a week, with 1.2 million subscribers. She is in Mexico now, if you want to be in her stuff. She does cover a lot of ground us sailors never see.
I have noticed that a lot of the broken bulkheads, and trim that you , and Colin replaced were nothing more than cake. Why would you put anything more in a boat than beautiful blond bamboo. If you got a chain saw, and replaced all wood and paneling to be three times stronger than aluminum. This is more beautiful, and, and less work than Colin did on his boat. I know this is only good for he next person that has a bulkhead problem.
I suspect it will be because of the wieght of the bamboo would put the cat lower in the water and make it slower. Boat speed and handeling is always a tradeoff between having the strongest materials to having the lightest.
@@Timbo_tango Dendro callimus asperniger from Asia, and herculaian bamboo from Columbia are the strongest bamboo in the world. Performance cats are made of aluminum they are both light, and strong. A cubic foot of aluminum would take over 4,300,000 pounds to rip it apart. the same block of bamboo would take over 4,000,000 pounds to rip it apart. The block of aluminum weighs 166 pounds, and the block of bamboo weighs 20 pounds. 166 pounds of bamboo would take over 35,300,000 to rip it apart.
right arm, baraduhh. you can't stop inventing if that's what you're in to. plus you've got kids that need school and a wife so I don't expect you to live aboard full time. you might even see if someone else wants the liability in your off seasons. it would prevent mold etc. surely collin knows some peeps.
I'm finally getting to make stuff! Always looked up to inventors like edison or davinci. I'm headed back to the boat tomorrow to start bringing her home! Once we're here we'll be moving aboard, selling the house, and starting to cruise full time! I'll convert one of the cabins into a workshop and keep the inventing alive!
@@david_shih Do it, and keep the family safe and happy. Looks good so far. Viel gluck and happy travels. Seems like plucky might be a good first stop since your ship is there, he's tied with the entire community, they're all good people and they have kids etc. I dunno I'm wearing different shoes if at all but in yours that would be very tempting.
@@david_shih Fairwinds bringing her home (turn your beep beep radio on 😉😂), hope the move onboard & house sale etc go well.

Hey dawn. Check out this weeks behind the scenes of how we made the mini dinghy wagon thingy and let me know what you think! Just uploaded it.
David it's AMIZING ROBOT
yeah alex! Maybe we can bring it to Annapolis this year! Are you going?
@@david_shih yes I do!
Dave, that is a "Dinky Dinghy Wagon Thingy".....
it is a bit dinky for sure....started to fall apart on me when i put all my weight in it! It held up great in the water though....i just wasn't skilled enough to stand up while being towed!
You should rename your channel to "David Shih Funny Videos" 🤣
I was even thinking a 2nd channel of us doing non sailing projects like this. BC the normal viewers seem to only want to see the big boat stuff! Thoughts?
I like David Shih on his boat not trying to be like heavy d Sparks
hahaha... what about trying to be like heavy d sparks while on the boat?!?
¿Por qué no los dos?
@@Kenriko what about whistlindiesel on a boat?!
David don't know how you do it, you have more subscribers than people that post weekly videos with good content. But to get to 1 million subscribers you will need 2 post a week at least.
You’re so right right! Keeping to a schedule is the bane of my existence, but I’m figure it all out right now. No boat work in the next 2 weeks, settled in Mexico with the boat, let’s see if I can do 3 vids in the next 3 weeks!
@@david_shih Know you make the films can Mary edit for you? Well women seem to be better at details' & multi tasking. So just 3 kids, cooking cleaning & editing. Well Mary reminds me of a girl in high school that took pity on me & dated tme for a while. I had 1/2 her IQ so not a match.
@@MrBobVick the problem is we have 4 kids and if you ask her she’ll tell you it’s more like 5 because I’m a kid too. But Im definitely going to teach her how to edit when she has time. At the moment she’s handling all the business side of things for us! Damn would it be sweet to get to a million subs….one day :)
@@david_shih Forgot about the baby, that does make 4 & 5 with you. Watch "Itchy Boots" one Dutch gal, one motorcycle, no staff, and 2 clips a week, with 1.2 million subscribers. She is in Mexico now, if you want to be in her stuff. She does cover a lot of ground us sailors never see.
@@MrBobVick I remember she was in panama a while back! Do you know where in Mexico? Would love to meet up with her.
I like it Dave .. just need a XL size for a 275lb -er … lol
i can do it!!! version 2.0!

I have noticed that a lot of the broken bulkheads, and trim that you , and Colin replaced were nothing more than cake. Why would you put anything more in a boat than beautiful blond bamboo. If you got a chain saw, and replaced all wood and paneling to be three times stronger than aluminum. This is more beautiful, and, and less work than Colin did on his boat. I know this is only good for he next person that has a bulkhead problem.
Is blond bamboo the good stuff? I just do what Colin does when it comes to boats. If he jumped off a bridge i'd prob do that too.
I suspect it will be because of the wieght of the bamboo would put the cat lower in the water and make it slower. Boat speed and handeling is always a tradeoff between having the strongest materials to having the lightest.
@@Timbo_tango Dendro callimus asperniger from Asia, and herculaian bamboo from Columbia are the strongest bamboo in the world. Performance cats are made of aluminum they are both light, and strong. A cubic foot of aluminum would take over 4,300,000 pounds to rip it apart. the same block of bamboo would take over 4,000,000 pounds to rip it apart. The block of aluminum weighs 166 pounds, and the block of bamboo weighs 20 pounds. 166 pounds of bamboo would take over 35,300,000 to rip it apart.
Cool :)
thanks Mads!!! appreciate all your support on Patreon brother!
🤣🤣🤣🤙🏻
Wanna race 🤣
As a want to be sailor. Yes, always!!
right arm, baraduhh. you can't stop inventing if that's what you're in to. plus you've got kids that need school and a wife so I don't expect you to live aboard full time. you might even see if someone else wants the liability in your off seasons. it would prevent mold etc. surely collin knows some peeps.
I'm finally getting to make stuff! Always looked up to inventors like edison or davinci. I'm headed back to the boat tomorrow to start bringing her home! Once we're here we'll be moving aboard, selling the house, and starting to cruise full time! I'll convert one of the cabins into a workshop and keep the inventing alive!
@@david_shih
Do it, and keep the family safe and happy. Looks good so far. Viel gluck and happy travels. Seems like plucky might be a good first stop since your ship is there, he's tied with the entire community, they're all good people and they have kids etc. I dunno I'm wearing different shoes if at all but in yours that would be very tempting.
@@david_shih Fairwinds bringing her home (turn your beep beep radio on 😉😂), hope the move onboard & house sale etc go well.
Love this vid, guess that's the boat show where the kids nearly went in the drink!
Beautiful family living life to the full, wonderful to see. Thanks David & Mary for allowing us all to share a little in the fun 🥰
@@PosidenSiren Maria!!! yes this is where i almost lost the kids off the dock. Couldn't show it or i'd get more flak then not having the radio on the right channel! Thanks for following our journey, and can't wait to show you more on the boat as we bring it home!
