The Big Pay Off - Building your own boat Ep411
It’s only when you have time to spend time with family and friends that you realise the value of an owner built boat. The satisfaction that we built the boat as a family and luckily there is always things to ask family to help fix whilst underway made this week’s trip with our daughter Ellen and partner Zach all the more special, Ohh and there was dolphins and loads of them.
