There was a time in November or December (I honestly cannot remember when) where it rained for about two weeks. I was unable to get many boat projects done and the roads were impassable. So, I just hung out on my boat and did pretty much nothing for two we...
My friend and I spent a week getting a lay of the Dominican land. We saw part of the north coast in Cabarete, tried to see the whales in Samana, explored a bit of the central part of the country all the way to Punta Cana, checked out a regular Dominican to...
I’d been looking forward to this for a little while and the timing was perfect! Here are some snippets from the past four months as I prepare for the mast to come out and navigate rainy days and other delays until finally! The mast comes out!
The diesel is in good working condition, but I have a lot of diesel maintenance projects ahead to get it up to snuff. In this video I measure the dimensions for the stuffing box packing and put the heat exchanger back in. That background noise is my dog ea...
Not sponsored! I give a brief overview of how I installed my composting toilet, plus what I like about, and the little annoying parts of the install! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.
Y’all already know how intimidating of a project it was for me to remove the thru-hulls. I had just assumed the thru-hulls were permanently in the boat with 5200 and that it would be near impossible to pry them out. Well, if I can do it, it’s NOT near ...
I decided to take a little drive on my moto and go to my friends’ farm, Vista del Mar. The family bought Arta and had invited me to come out and visit. I followed the recommended Google Maps route, and it brought me to a dirt road that is only passable v...
I was filming the trash pickup and farm parts of this video, and editing it, the day my E30 video was released on YT (Nov 11). I got a lot of positive support. The next day I went for a walk and for the first time since the surgery in May, 2013, I felt tru...
This is just one of the leaks that I need to fix. The others are from the stanchion bolts. That, however, will be a two-person job and will take all day because they are thru-bolted. Luckily, it’s pretty dry here and there is no wood damage around any of...
There are a few things that need adjusting because I didn’t have all the bus bars I needed. But for now, phase one of the electrical is done and I am SO thrilled with how it turned out.
It was a toasty whirlwind, especially amidst all that boat dust in Dominican weather. I hauled the boat out on September 1st, 2023. Within that first week I started sanding the topsides. I waited until September 22 when I decided to start grinding the hull...
