Some pretty impressive upgrades for the Geck. And what sweethearts are Andy and his wife?! One of the best thing about traveling is the legends you meet along the way!!

[@brucerhodes8197]

Nice little upgrade for Puss! So many amazing people in the boating community, Andy and his wife obviously are 2 of those amazing folks!

Great hospitality & tour of Western Queensland. Hot as he'll in summer. Good prep for remote island hopping .

[@jonathanvince8173]

I did not realize how difficult it is to use sail stitching to repair things until watching you. Yes seen sail makers and repairing but this was different. Thank you for showing so much such nice people helping you out including the fellow Brit. You must be so special to have help like this.

[@amberlyperkins8954]

Can't wait for your next upload!

[@HenryHeymusic]

Love to see the repairs! As a DIY-er and sailor (who has done some HORRIBLE fiberglass work) I am loving all of this.

[@julianbatcheler9970]

Really laughed out loud at you all in the dingy in the pool.
Reminded me I did the same with my first dingy in our pool.

[@trippontwowheels]

Woo hoo! Next time you need glass work done in that area, call Klebaum’s Fiberglass. Great quality work and very inexpensive. Sail on Wind Hippie!!

[@paulklebaum1682]

They didn't call him machbondo for nothing!

[@trippontwowheels]

@@paulklebaum1682 He did amazing boat work in the Caribbean for years. Sailboat hulls were his specialty if I remember correctly.

[@claverton]

Highly entertaining

[@vanessavandervalk1084]

love the tour! & the haul out😍🙌💖

[@sammayo9970]

Thanks for the update...

[@donnasummer6285]

A lot of work!

[@RAEckart22]

Cool seeing all that cowboy wear. 90%+ of cowboy hats (straw, felt, hide, etc.) are made in Garland, Texas, about 30 miles from where I live.

[@terrysmall1421]

On ya Andy. Good man.

[@bob_._.]

I've seen Longhorn horns mounted before but I never expected to see a Longhorn trophy mount.

[@goodandgreen]

😂seriously!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I had no doubt Puss was in good hands. I love the storage pockets you made out of your old main sail. Sustainability at it's best!

[@peppepino8470]

Good job

[@jeffhudson4817]

Getting it done. Looking forward to you guys hitting the water again. Stay safe

[@underthetornado]

Very nice😊

[@faelsinnes]

5:24 sorry but ROFPMSL, as a retired sewing mechanic ... I love it ... hey I'm nearly 70, if I ever bump into you I'll tell you why I'm laughing, over a drink

[@davidfisher268]

Think you share a few genes with Aubrey Plaza!

[@californiakayaker]

The gadget with the pockets is a great ides. I have a problem with organization, and that might help.

[@bearitraeb]

15:47 looks fabulous. Whomever has an issue with it…. You didn’t want them around anyhow 😂

[@MikeBecevel]

Great Blues😊😊

[@Ramenscooter]

I was given a Walker Bay 8. Free ❤

[@davidfisher268]

Ok you got me at the pool!

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I can confirm that it has finally happened. Holly has finally lost her marbles. Never mind, I'm sure you new home with the soft walls is fine.

[@paulklebaum1682]

Woohoo 🥳 hey tripp

[@andersnilsson6625]

Many thanks for another great video. Now it's time to ask the question I've been thinking about for a long time, where does the name Puss come from?
In Swedish it means a light kiss, mostly on the cheek.

[@goodandgreen]

So curious Holly! last episode you appreciated Grub the inflatable white tender, what happened to Puss after this? you mentioned in this episode you'd like a new life for Puss but maybe that meant new glass or new home. I guess I'll wait a few weeks/months and find out!

[@janaferreira8882]

[@shanep5121]

I have a UTE bed like that on my truck. Rare in America.

[@bearitraeb]

14:35 I think Hollys ores worked better 😊😊😊

[@johnrathbun2943]

WTF, I've seen some fiberglass work before, but that fiberglass job you did that your gonna fix is something. I'm not quite for sure but I'm kinda thinking you were really drunk when you did it.

[@finallyfree1432]

Nice

[@garyrobertson3645]

👍👍👍

[@underthetornado]

Time for a new dingy?

[@tahirsargin8236]

👏👏👏

[@BillySBC]

We need a drone with laser defense system for birds. I'm sure somebody makes them.

[@redwood1957]

What size is that dingy? Thank you

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

👍 funny 😄 you should be a seamstress 🫵 🙄

[@tamerbulut616]
