NB! A big thanks to all of you who have contributed with different theories on my previous videos as to what could be the cause of my engine problems. I appreciate the help very much! Now it's time to take a closer look :)

I start work on the nylon webbing I'll be using instead of a door. Not having a door will save a huge amount of space. Sadly I run into problems and didn't manage to finish the webbing-door in this video. Stay tuned for part 3 :)
At the beginning of this video, there is a bit of footage to compare the SJ4000 to the Go Pro 3+ Black (I'm holding the Go Pro and the rest of the video is shot with the Go Pro).
The appraisal of my house is just around the corner (a couple of weeks). Afte...
I'm putting this project on the backburner in order to focus on the chain locker project. The good news is that I'm almost one and I do have a usable closet/locker. I just need to figure out the last few details.
NB! YouTube has removed a feature called Br...

Glassing in the mini bulkhead and the main bulkhead. I'm hoping to put the finishing touches on the chain locker next weekend! Then, it's time to go sailing!
The chain locker is about as done as it'll get before I leave for the US. Also, lighting strikes and splicing mooring lines.

Fair warning this video contains almost no boat related stuff. Skip it if you only want to see the boat related stuff and stay tuned for the next video where I get ...

My friend from S/V Corsair (link down below) and I check out an awesome Chesapeake 32. The boat's owner (Bob) gave us some background on the Chesapeake 32, how he came to own his boat and how he had the engine replaced with an electric motor. Very nice boa...

I go to pick up Jökull (my Icelandic Sheepdog) and talk briefly about what's coming up next on my little channel. I need to be able to move aboard the boat as soon as the house sells, so I need to focus on the projects aboard the boat. I would rather go s...
I head up to check on Obelix for the first time after getting back from the US. In this video, I talk about the five projects/tasks I want to get out of the way before moving aboard the boat. The house still hasn't been sold but I'm so excited to become a ...
This is the method I used for insulating the hull aboard my sailboat (a 30 ft Albin Ballad from 1973). I'll use a different method in the v-berth, but this method seemed to work well last winter when I was living aboard. I spent a month aboard the boat dur...

Earlier today I started installing an Isotherm cooling system (Isotherm Classic 2006). The goal was to turn my icebox into a fridge. Turned out to be quite a long day. For now you'll only upload part 1 of 3. I really wanted to get something up tonight but ...
I get to finally turn on my brand new Isotherm cooling system. Having a "fridge" aboard instead of just an icebox is going to make living aboard the boat so much more comfortable. With a bit of luck part 3 should be up tomorrow :)
Sealing up the hole in my "fridge" after installing an Isotherm cooling system (Classic 2006). I can't wait till I get to test out the "fridge" on some delicious food. I'm now one step closer to being ready to move aboard!
Something AWESOME is coming!
