Don't stop making videos , my Sunday mornings won't be the same without you .
Wow. It’s been an incredible five (?) years of glorious, glorious sanding. Amazing to see you now pretty much ready to sail! Bon voyage 😀
he will be coming to see you for a cheese sandwiches 😂👊
Aha, you're hiding here are you!
Cheeky! Good to see you here as well!
I watched your boat tour earlier today. Did you see that lovely clear bowl on the water separator?
Small world✌🏻
To me this episode signifies the end of an era, which leaves me with feelings of happiness and relief on one hand and somewhat sad on the other.
Now I expect that Sail Life will live up to its name by providing us with interesting sailing adventures to enjoy plus the occasional repair sessions.
I think many of us will be watching to see how well all the electronic gizmos play with each other.
Another random internet dude super happy for you. Thank you for sharing your journey.
From boat building, now to sailing and cooking. Cant get better than this.
No more "Oh Glorious Sanding"! Time for "Oh Glorious Sailing"! Congrats! Athena looks great!
And I'm sure your Mom is watching every video... and is super proud! :)
Awesome following this journey. I started watching when I was working for the UN in Syria during the war and it saved my sanity; I could tune out to the bad stuff going on around me and watch you achieving glory (sanding) and spiffyness every week. Well done you two; may you have fair winds and following seas.
A lot changed for me since my last sailing adventure. I got hacked and lost my old youtube, and all the people I subscribed to. But I also got away from sailing activities, and today I just felt like returning to the sailing arts. I'm so happy to newly sub to Athena with my new youtube account. Be blessed.
You are a very lucky man you found a wonderful 1st mate. It is finally time to box up the sanding equipment and set out on your journey. You have brought endless entertainment to my life for the past 1/2 decade and I'm sure that will continue. Thanks for tackling projects I will more than likely never attempt myself but after watching your positive attitude towards the unknown I feel like I could. I wish you safe passages ahead. Thanks
I’ve run the exhaust out thru the stern which has eliminated back flow while sailing. Our boat tends to rise up with a following sea which helps greatly and we have never experienced any issues with our Panda mounted off of the centerline. Good luck as you set out.
It's also fun when Eva is more involve in the process and the videos. Thank's
I wish you would have shown the entire installation of the genset in detail like your old videos! I learn so much when you go into detail.
I believe things should return to normal after they land in the UK. Right now it's a mad thrash before they have to leave the country.
Give the man a break! Let him slowly go back to being human…
When you get to the UK don't forget that what you call cans are jars and what you call chips are crisps. If you ask for chips to will get what you call French fries.
Being bummed is something totally different
Holy blown eardrums from the multitool!!!
Cushions in saloon look great!
Come up to the Caledonian canal and we’ll cross paths 😁. I just started it from the west. The landscapes are amazing up here. 🏴
One of the best no nonsense sailing channels Sam Holmes Sailing.
Cruising Worldwide on a Cape Dory 28, a solid pocket cruiser.
Sam, you are the best!
I hope my two fav DIY’ers link up!
Sam knows best, it has to be Scotland 🏴
Heading up that way tomorrow as well 😁
Yes! The cross-over I never knew I wanted.
Hi Guys, we have a FP-5000i generator identical to yours; it has been great.
A couple of cautions, it will shread the impeller in seconds if raw water is accidentally left closed; there are no second chances. Thankfully the pump is made by Johnsons who charge around $13 for spares (part 09-808B-1). We carry three! Secondly, I accidentally filled the cylinder with water through my own stupidity in flushing engine with fresh water during service. After service the engine locked blowing starter motor fuse. Water was easily ejected by removing cylinder head glow plug, attempting to start engine then refitting glowplug. Thirdly, the raw water out pipe connects to brass barb on heat exchanger. Heat exchanger vibrates with the engine so the raw water outlet hose must have some flex as without it, the hose barb will fatigue then break off; it happened to us.
Congratulations on your 444th video! Cheers.
Athena just looks so good! Absolutely epic rebuild. Cant believe were on to sailing! So exciting.
Fantastic to see on Marine Traffic that you are on your way! Fair winds and look forward to hearing your safe arrival in the UK! 🙂👍
Mads i have been faithfully watching and learning with you since before you met Athena!! Thanks for all your hard work, its made me better for sure! Cheers for what’s next!!
Congratulations! What a beautiful boat and thanks for taking us along!!
Wow! What a technology-filled boat!! We wish you fair winds!
Somebody said life is what you make it. Following what you've made so far I think you're got a great future. Fair winds Mads and Ava.
So excited! You will love, love, love every minute! Happy sailing wherever you end up. Much love and thanks for all the entertainment xxx
The dedication both of you have is amazing!!!!!
One journey down and the next beginning and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing.
You're almost ready! It's awesome to see that you are ready to sail, it's been a long, entertaining, and educational journey for your viewers. Good luck with the passage, I can't wait to see what content Athena brings us in the future.
What a journey and very happy to be viewing your progress. Have a great time and enjoy all your work.
Congratulations to you both, what a herculean effort !
I can’t wait for the sailing to start!
Good luck you two. Have a safe journey and keep us posted.

Congrats you two! Woooot!
Well done for all the Sunday spiffyness and lots of love to you both
Good luck! Have fun.
Thank yiu, safe travels
All the Best to you both!!!!
Have a safe passage.
So happy for you guys to be heading into the 2 most important voyages of your lives! I have so enjoyed your vids every week for 5+ years now (even back when oblix was the refit) you have brought so much excitement to my somewhat boring life…thank you and fair winds!
I can't believe you are finished. What an adventure. This has been an amazing video series. Congratulations.
Thank you guys so much for sharing your experiences with us....during the last 18 months of lock downs and uncertain times, it was nice to forget about things and just watch you plow through it all....now lets see what the future holds....thanks John and Sue
Safe journey and Godspeed!
Safe travels! Hope you get to enjoy the journey!
Good Luck and Fair Winds!
Holy crap, the moment has arrived! Can't wait to see what adventures you get up to. Bon Voyage!
Safe travels guys. I’m excited to follow Athena and her crew on their adventures
Happy sailing guys and be safe
I am so excited for the two of you! It’s been a long time coming and we’ve been cheering you on the whole way. Back to cutting these damn onions.
Best wishes on the maiden voyage! One of my absolute favorite channels ever! Thanks for sharing the adventure with us.
All the time Ive been watching this and its finally ready...happy and sad.
You two are Rocking IT!
Fair winds.
Wow, what a major momentous occasion!! Leaving the dock and setting sail - it always feels great - but for the two of you this will be very special. Fantastic!!
Take 3 more belts than you think you might need. Also, carry a “jump pack” just in case your battery dies and you don’t have extra power. Most people say they don’t need them… until they do. I hope you have a safe journey and may your sails be filled with the wind of the direction you want to go!
Great work getting all those projects completed.
What a great time. Heading off at long last. Happy travels and following seas your way.
Congratulations! What a journey this has been.
Unbelievable - you are almost done and ready to sail. Good luck for the journey to both of you ! I will be missing Sunday nights ( because where I live ..) watching your excellent DIY work !
Incredible refit! Best to you both on the inaugural sail.
Wow! Bon voyage you guys!!
Well done - what an epic journey it's been so far. Best of luck to you both!
Safe travels guys, what a great job you have done. It's time for you both to start enjoying the fruits of your labour.
Happy safe sailing! Looking forward to seeing updates!
Lovely couple, great story unfolding and always good content.
Fair winds! I can’t believe you have finally reached this milestone. I have loved watching all along.
I came to the show "late" - when the refit of Athena's interior was in full swing. Or should I say, the first refit, before discovering the rot. Recently I watched an early video of Mads nervously declaring his intent to give live-aboard life a good go.
There is an impressive narrative here, for someone keen on editing - from the first tentative steps on Obelix, to getting Athena, to the first refit works, the fall of discovering the rot and the labours to rebuild her better than you probably intended when you first got her. All capped off with the trail line ..
"Now, the adventure REALLY begins"
Thank you for another great episode & fair winds for your voyage to the UK. 🏝⛵️
Good luck ,and safe passage. I have watched you ever since you got Athena. I love the transformation the boat has taken keep up the great content and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
AWESOME!!! The journey begins! I will be waiting for the next video as always, can’t wait to see the boat sailing and hear about the feedback on how the remodel is functioning underway. May the spray be in your face and the weather warming as the venture continues!
I have been watching three different boats be built/refited over the last few years. Athena, Seeker and Tally ho. Its great to finally see two of them ready sail. Great job guys and safe travels
This feels like the end of an era, but really looking forward to the next adventure. Make it so!
Seriously though, you have given me so much pleasure and inspiration over the last few years and I hope you get as much joy out of the next stage of your life's journey as you truly deserve. Safe passage. X
Thanks for sharing! And congrats on going sailing. Yaaay!!!
Like others, I have been following long for several years, and I am very happy for you two!
Enjoy the journey, these are the times in your lives you will never forget.
The perfect solution to your UK destination sounds a lot like a full lap of the UK is the answer.
Lots of different places to explore, South Coast, Norfolk Broads, Scotland, Scottish Islands, Wales, Ireland.. lots to see!
Safe travels!!
This is so exciting! Can't wait to see videos with sailing. Best of luck to you two
Wishing you clear skies and following seas next week.
Super exciting you guys!!!
Ok, so now I know how to completely refit a sailboat...what's next?!? I think Mads/Eva doing sailing lessons and concepts, along with the requisite frustrations of sailing would be amazing. For example, the majority of "how to heave to" videos just explain the what, but they don't really explain the why and how, two topics that Mads is, quite frankly, extraordinary at doing.
Good luck with the initial part of the journey ! Fingers crossed that most “issues” are easy to deal with. Will be following along (AIS/Garmin) with great interest.
Getting close to the Sailing part...good job!
Fair weather and calm seas
living the dream guys, hold onto it for as long as possible
Great TV never miss any, you and Ran Sailing are the best
Safe travels love you shows
My day is now complete. Thanks Mads and Eva
Good luck guys! Can’t believe it’s been 5 years.
Good luck!
Bon voyage! Have an amazing passage!
Well done both of you. Enjoy
Have a good journey. 👍
Incredible! A Beautiful yacht she's turned out to be!
