It's finally time to put some spray foam back in the boat, but of course we have some small projects to do first, and some prep to do. But we are also using a new product and bigger bottles. Is it going to work out this time? This is the last step on o...

Whether or not to use rust converters is quite the debate in the steel boat community. Some people claim (aggressively at that) that using rust converters will be the downfall of any steel boat, while others claim that it's a life saver. We decide to try ...

In this one, we complete our journey from the PNW to the San Francisco Bay by sailing under one of the most iconic landmarks, the Golden Gate Bridge! After a solid nights rest, we depart from Drakes Bay under delightfully mellow conditions. Right as the su...

Ahoy Folks! Sorry it has been a little while since the last video: Wifi and time to edit were hard to come by as we sailed down the wild west coast of the Baja Peninsula! In this one, we awake at the beautiful Dungeness Spit, which we arrived at the prev...

Looks can be very deceiving, and unfortunately that is what we found with our steel sailboat. Two years after hauling out for what we thought would be some fairly quick repairs, we are still chasing rust. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlif...

The pneumatic needle gun is one of the best tools for removing rust from a boat. Not something we love to use, but it definitely does the job when we need it!

After so much time and work, tearing things apart on our sailboat, we are finally putting parts of the bow back on! We clean up the bow roller and the windlass and get ready to put them back on the boat! Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewaywardlife Bu...
