15,000 deep water and millions of stinging jellyfish - time to go swimming! This episode delivered via Starlink while under sail, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Filmed - 4 July 2023 Edited - 5 July 2023 Posted - 6 July 2023 Filming, editing and posti...

In this episode I take you along for a week of my life while unemployed and living on a sailboat!

This week Brett ends up going to the HOSPITAL, but then leaves because he's too good for them - or something like that. Kidding, it just didn't make sense.

Today we made the decision that we are going to start drinking the ocean. And that means turning saltwater into freshwater with the help of a watermaker!

WE DID IT!! With that last bit of fiberglass we have completely finished the repairs of our salvage yacht! Cleaning, fairing, painting, and reassembling to do.

Jade has to finish sanding off the old bottom paint before painting all 50 feet of boat by herself. There's a first time for everything!

An error in almost any one of the previous steps could mean that the keel doesn't line up just right and would require some serious work to fix it.

Now one final detail, cleaning up the bolt holes and giving them a bit of a chamfered edge and we're there! Also, very exciting- Brett comes back next week!

With Brett off to his other work, it's boat building with Jade again. Except this time, it's not so much building as it is removing some of our hard work.

Fiberglassing once again! We beef up the area directly around the keel and specifically the keel bolt area. We have the glass, time and means.

Before we can even think of putting the keel back on we need to re fiberglass the bilge sump box to the hull again.

We had a blast filming this and wanted to keep it more raw and real...so here you go, time to get to know us even better!
