We are so grateful for the help we’ve received, and continue to receive, from our community. It would be so much more daunting if we didn’t have the help from Christian and Jeff. And! All of you out there watching and encouraging us to continue. Alone ...
Our engine better run or else! We've bought a big box of engine parts and Garrett is working his way through it. Hoping to prevent any more surprises...
Thanks for watching!

So much to do so little time! We are sad to say that we will not be hosting a farewell to Napa party. We are making such awesome progress though, and know that we can still take full advantage of the wonderful weather season approaching. We are going to be...

Sooner or later we will be sipping on that margarita tropical style! It might not be today but we are closer than we were yesterday. Every day adds to the sum of building Rediviva and here's a glimpse into a few ;)
Thanks for watching everyone!

Come hang out with us as we install our yankee tracks to lead the sheets aft. We talk about the placement of the wenches we'll add and the platforms we'll have to make. We'll be filling you in on our engine troubles soon. All is still going well aboard thi...
The staysail boom is ready to be added. We get the staysail up to speed with our previous two sails, the main and the mizzen. Next week we continue on the yankee, our fourth and final sail at this time. Calm weather means we're working on the sails. The le...
4 out of 4 and we give Mike a 10 out of 10! Our 4 working sails are here and are being fitted to the boat. We will have other light wind and storm sails but these are the ones we'll use most often. As we were waiting for the staysail boom to dry we started...

Lashing, serving, leathering, hole drilling, and wiring! Michael's still here helping us serve and leather our various chafe points in the rigging. Garrett lashes our solar array into place atop the davits while I catch up on a little souping/brightwork. W...

The project that never ends, it goes on and on my friends! The boat build as a whole is coming along so nicely but it is still far from over. One piece of the puzzle comes to a close and another begins. Thanks for stepping on board with us for this episode...

The windlass has been rebuilt for some time. Now the skies are clear to drill some holes through the deck and dive into getting this installed. So much of every project is making sure everything aligns. Now that we are counting down the days to leaving the...
100 days! Yup, we are going to give it our all. We’ve had so many ‘last push’ moments and this feels like the legit LAST push. Again, Rediviva will not be 100% complete but we can’t sit at a dock forever. We have just received our last sail and tha...
I’m going to test your attention span with this one. It’s long with quite a bit of talking as we discover some not so lovely issues with our 40 year old motor. The previous owner called her King of the Shit we might be changing this to King of taking a...
Bending a sail: to secure a sail to a spar before hoisting. Bend On ~ To tie onto or fasten. Garrett completes the last of the changes and additions to the boom and gaff. Persevering through the cold, damp weather. Then together we work on permanently secu...
My sister, Ellen, and her husband, Casey, join us in a little holiday celebration. This is the first ever lighted boat parade that Garrett and I have ever participated in and it was a ton of fun. We even got second place!
Thanks for watching everyone!

I could stare at the ocean indefinitely. We got so lucky with the day and so lucky that one of our volunteers lives close enough to take us sailing! Michael, who has done our ratlines among other things, has a Bristol Channel Cutter 28 in Pillar Point Harb...
Excited to get another sail we jump into getting the changes on the mizzen boom and gaff done. The episode leaves us watching paint and soup dry. Can’t wait to mount the davits and absolutely can’t wait to get every sail fully rigged up!
Leave a comm...

Another sail arrives! Our staysail is the second out of our four working sails to be completed. Thanks to M&H Bartles, Sailmakers. We keep at a few smaller projects and when the skies clear Garrett gets back to the bigger current project which is mount...
We get down to business in this episode. Installing our Nature’s Head, a marine toilet. The days of walking to the shorehead will be in the past!
