Salt & Tar: Episode 89-Who’s Charlie

"I got a plan, I have a plan," said Charlie, and 24 years later he proved it. For obvious reasons, we love hearing from those who have actually built a boat from the ground up. I wanted to share Charlie's story because it so closely mirrors our own. No matter if it takes 5 or 25 years...

Salt & Tar: Episode 88-Because it’s Badass

Alright. We've raised our main mast. Still one more mast to go and countless other projects. It's always weird after accomplishing a milestone. A sort of "now what" moment. Then you realize, "Everything else!" That's what. We get back to a few other started project...

Salt & Tar: Episode 87-Glorious Day to Raise the Main

- A glorious day indeed. Our 40 foot main mast is on the boat! Rediviva is a ketch rig but only our main was ready, the mizzen mast will come later. A huge thank you to the marina for making this day go so smoothly. My mom was able to make it and Reid, Garrett’s brother, brought the beer and did an...

Salt & Tar: Episode 85-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 2)

-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 the main goes up!!! Stay tuned :) Thanks eve...

Salt & Tar: Episode 84-Four Shrouds, Four Days (Part 1)

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 We've also been keeping our...

Salt & Tar: Episode 83-MAST COLLAR w/Rolf!

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 have us back and help us weld the ...

Salt & Tar: Episode 82-Pine Tar for Breakfast

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 one project then onto another. Garr...

Salt & Tar: Episode 81-Our Place is a Shelter…In Progress

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 family, your friends, or your hobbies. Bett...

Salt & Tar: Episode 80-Windows Finally!

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 also get some low lows. With any new project, ...

Salt & Tar: Episode 79-Lucidity; Let the Port Light Shine in

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 special family we have our next milestone in...

Salt & Tar: Episode 78-Yahoo! December

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. So! Instead of wallowing in it we t...

Salt & Tar: Episode 77-Decompressing

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. Swabie's enjoying being aboard full ti...

Salt & Tar: Episode 76-Floating Once Again

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 we need for Rediviva just almost none o...

Salt & Tar: Episode 75-Rally to Launch

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 not ready it's not the end...

Salt & Tar: Episode 74-It’s Worth it but it Sucks Sometimes

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 urgency that lights a fire underneath an...

Salt & Tar: Episode 73-Switching Crew?

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 motivate us to keep working. We...

Salt & Tar: Episode 72-Drying Out

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 Rediviva first launched last November she'...

Salt & Tar: Episode 71-Welcoming Our New Neighbor

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 ready for the first c...

Salt & Tar: Episode 70-Not Mistakes, Lessons

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 boat... you'll see ;)...

Salt & Tar: Episode 69-Day 1,677

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, wants to stiffen the boat up. The cabin, becaus...

Salt & Tar: Episode 66-Companionway

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 completion then move onto the...
