    This week we didn't have time to make subtitles because we just finished editing the video. We'll be doing that little by little during this week 😉
    Esta semana não tivemos tempo de fazer legendas pois acabamos de finalizar a edição do vídeo. Vamos fazer a legenda aos poucos durante esta semana 😉

    That was beautiful what you said about your baby boy, that you were talking to him in the womb. I did the exact thing 40 years ago with my son Elliot !! And when he was born I talked to him and he smiled from ear to ear !! You just brought tears to my eyes brother. Congratulations it only gets better !! And great job mommy !!

    Thank you so much for uploading this great video. I think we all understand you both will spend as much time as possible with Oli. His first days/weeks/months will be precious moments to spend with your son. Don't miss them. Videos can wait a bit, can't they?
    Anyway, I'm surprised Meta lets you filming so much of the process of building your boat. Usually, technicians don't like much to have their customers "on their back"! As a "technician", I definitely don't! Fortunately, it seems the Meta team is pretty open minded and thanks to them we all can watch these amazing videos.
    Félicitations à tous les 3 🙂

    You describe newborn bonding very well. When a newborn takes the finger of his father, the baby creates a bond that will last for a lifetime. You will often see doctors or nurses very anxious to ensure that parents get the chance to make this bond as soon as possible.

    To be fair... much, if not most, of the manufacturing and repair industry traditionally NEVER never allows anyone to hover over anything they do. Many craftsmen really do not like it one bit. There are liability, communication and emotional issues involved. Your disappointment is obvious yet this companies latitude with his issue thus far has been pretty incredible. Stuff happens, its the way it is.

    • @SteifWood
      @SteifWood 2 місяці тому +3

      Your right, yet we have watched the media involvement of the builders of Delos 2 and how Brian and Kaza actually are part of the hull build, though they also had some "problems" when scheduling the flip at a certain time. Maybe build as Plukky does: Freedom will never be flipped as those Vietnamese welders works just as good up side down.

      The Delos build flipped in this weeks episode it two cranes one a big lifter and the other to drag it out. The lift was from two bow fixings so that was end over end rotation rather than a sideways roll. So they had to have it outside hanging and rotating.. then lowered deck up and pulled back inside on dollys. 🧙🏼‍♂️👍🏼

    • @kencooper7208
      @kencooper7208 2 місяці тому

      Is this an example of the much recognized French worker arrogance? I get the feeling that they are sabotaging you Duca. The crew working on the Delos build are friendly and playful and willing to teach. This Meta team ha. . . not wanting to be filmed doing the job they are being paid to do. @blueclue57 you have a limited imagination. Start watching Delos and you will instantly see who the professionals are in this regard. And it's not just a language barrier. Those guys are pricks, they have seen Duca there filming from a distance, always, and how could they be so ignorant of what his audience might get a kick out of seeing to not let him in on such a milestone in the construction. I feel your frustration.

    2nd happiest day of my life was when my grand children were born. TWINS !!! Never thought I would experience that level again in my life .. but I've been blessed with this again.
    Question in see all this flipped boats and you may have covered this in a past episode ... but why no bow thruster? Now would be the perfect time to ... if nothing else, install the structural opening.

    great job of fliping the boat .when the welders are in side do they have a air line to breath for the welding gas do they have a paint shop on site
