-Yup! Days 3 and 4 were much quicker. We managed to also take a day off and enjoy a sundowner dinghy ride. A few discoveries of what you can find in the Napa River occur and we are days away from being able to step the mast. One more episode to go before t...
This is part 1 of prepping our main mast to go up! Days 3 and 4 went much quicker, as is tradition. One mast at a time and one shroud at a time. It's been fun working away from the boat, aka keeping the mess away from home ;)
Thanks for watching!
~Ruthie...
Two major things before the main mast goes up: build the mast collar for the stays and make the shrouds. When we step the mast we'll need some temporary lines to hold it up. We'll hang several blocks from the mast collar to do this. Rolf is kind enough to ...
For those that wanted "more Swab" and longer videos! I left a lot more in this video than normal upon the request of all of you out there. This episode kind of gives you a glimpse into what a normal workweek looks like for us. A little bit of progress on o...
To all you sheltering in place and bored AF! Love you all, and am so happy to see the bonding to friends, family, and boats that is happening. We so easily lose sight of what we find important and neglect what truly makes us happy. Whether that's your fami...
We hope everyone is happy, safe, and healthy! Living aboard a small boat makes us pretty much self-quarantined every day...
We finally get to install windows!!!! Thanks to a very kind family. This is so amazing. Sometimes with such high highs, you can al...
Every now and then you question yourself and then someone, or a family, restore your belief in what you are doing. The arrival of our ports couldn't have come at a better time. The weather window to start the process is on the horizon and thanks to a speci...
Someone once said sailors have weather-induced bi-polar.
As the winter season rolls in it's hard to deny. Even having been in the Pacific Northwest winter and still trying to build this boat it doesn't ease on the feeling now of wet and cold. It stinks. S...
Settling into our new dock home for the season. The bilge pump has quieted down and we've been able to catch up on some sound sleep. A huge thank you to both Leo and Captain Ron who helped us push and get the deck seams filled before the rain sets in. Swab...
It would've been nice to have felt a little more organized but other than that there were no complaints about the day. We are so looking forward to the next time we do this with spars up, ports in, and engine running. We nearly have all the gear/equipment ...
It starts with an idea. Then you set the date. Then you stick to it! A deadline doesn't care how many projects you still have to wrap up it's approaching no matter what. This can be helpful, a gentle shove to get it done. Of course, if you're absolutely no...
It's November and the days in the yard are growing old. The best thing to do at that point is to set a date. A goal. Better yet a deadline. For some illogical reason, Garrett and I work best on a rapidly approaching deadline. Something about the sense of u...
Looks like we might be swapping the mutt crew. Reid's dog, Ellie, and Swab seem to prefer each others' arrangements over their own...
Leo's back in this episode to help with some more sanding and we even get some souping done! Talks of cruising really mo...
Thanks to Leo the bottom sanding got done in a single day leaving us time to complete more projects. The bottom paint is a year old and it's standard on a wooden boat to haul out every year and reapply to keep it fresh preventing hard growth. Since Rediviv...
Accepting any excuse to get on the water we help crew aboard Garrett's brother, Reid's boat 'I Mua' a Landfall '39 transit the Napa River. We get a little work done on Rediviva cleaning up the cabin house preparing it for paint and the cap rails getting re...
Multiple projects and one big mess. It's hard to keep things organized when you also want to get things done. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice. That's the thing with boats... If you know, then I don't need to explain further, if you don't but have a bo...
Rolling from one day into the next. One project onto another. We finish the seacocks and thru hulls, including our transducer for the depth sounder, then start in on a cabin project so I can paint the cabin walls before we re-launch. Garrett, as usual, wan...
Happy New Year Everybody!!!! Big things in 2020 for Rediviva's crew. So excited to be releasing weeklies already. Got a jump start on my New Year's resolution :)
Many thanks and much love,

This video is a little different than others in that it involves more of our thought process. As we get closer to "real time" you'll notice we do things a bit different than most. Sometimes it may seem out of order or odd that we get most projects to near ...
Days of sanding to lead to days of painting and planking!!! Finally getting things close to the finishing touches. Garrett starts in on the companionway. We absorb the beautiful October working weather as our final month of the boatyard nears.
Thanks for...
With so many projects hanging how do you choose which one to work on? Motivation, materials, weather, and timing all play a huge part in that decision. We've gotten so many things done in the 4 months we've been hauled out. We also have still so many to do...
Garrett has had continuous back problems. Blame it on pour genes or the relentless work he puts his body through. He's learned the hard way that every once in a while he's got to take it easy! With a simple light task like shopping for materials for the bo...
