Firing Up A Motor In A Boat For The First Time in 60 Years! Plus New Hatches!
In this episode, we’re reminded of how grateful we are to live in such a beautiful place and share it with the people who support us. Our Patreon member John made an incredible journey all the way from Niagara Falls to Gabriola Island just to hang out with us for a week—and what a week it was! John’s generosity was overwhelming, from treating us to delicious food to even surprising us with a new GoPro. In return, we took him sailing and explored the stunning Saturnina Island, where we discovered an amazing log structure on the beach and spent hours soaking up the beauty.
Halfway through the week, we had an unforgettable moment when we docked next to a mega-yacht called Summertime and met Johnny Bravo, the yacht’s engineer. Johnny came aboard Dagon, a boat I sold to Nathan but spent years trying to get running after its motor was removed over 60 years ago. With Johnny’s expertise, we were able to solve the engineering challenges we’d been facing, and for the first time in over six decades, Dagon’s engine roared back to life. It was a monumental moment that I’ll never forget.
Back on our boat, we also made big strides in our projects, building a brand-new forward hatch and fully rebuilding the midship’s hatch, which took over 20 hours of work. It’s been a week full of incredible milestones, fun adventures, productive projects, and heartfelt moments shared with friends who help make this dream possible.
