Mmm-hmmm, we make "hazmat" look good. First real dig into our rotten stringers. You'll be shocked to see how low we can go! Then we suit up solid to start ...

Prepping our boat for the fiberglass job took a lot of cleaning, a lot of a plastic and a lot of tape, cut mostly by my teeth! Pretty cool to see her all ...
Big news kids! I'm going to give an invaluable gift of cruising to one of my Patrons. If you all help just a little, I can give something very BIG to one of ...
Two apparently! Removing these shrouds required some hefty plumbing wrenches and a few bad lawyers jokes but we finally got them off! Enjoy!
It seems the boys at the shipyard like to pick on the DIY'ers. But, we can take a few light hits. We'll probably need their help along the way when it comes ...
Complete rotten stringer repair documented in vlogs at https://havewindwilltravel.com. Here, we found out why our stringers rotted. You want to know? Mud ...
It's sad to see our mast lying lonely on her side at the shipyard. She loves to be standing tall, with lots of folks "hanging around." But I sleep soundly ...
Watch us run around like chipmunks in time-lapse mode as we pull the mast. Pretty interesting to see her become completely detached and lifted away. Also, ...
Just a few last detachments (just a few, I swear!). This mast pull prep is no effin joke. But all that's left now are the rods holding her up. Here comes ...
You guys watch closely, because we're counting on you to help us put all of this crap back together. Preparing the boat to pull the mast turned into one heap ...
Happy New Years kids! I thought it would be fun to give you guys a photo history montage of our sailing days, back before everything became YouTube history. ...
The only really bad thing about rod rigging is that she doesn't show her age, but we knew, at 30+ years, our original rods were getting up there. If we wanted ...
Merry Christmas kids! As thanks for your support and encouragement this year ... a FREE eCopy of (the still #1 bestseller) Keys to the Kingdom. Shoot me an ...
We've got a TON of projects coming up kids, so I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what it is that motivates us when we're doing all of this scraping, ...
Because sometimes it just does, although our takeaway here was: check your chafe points. But, we were surprised to see our mast (even with a rotten base) ...
A rotten discovery in the bilge brings us the blues during Blue Angles weekend. Find out what tragedy just made our project list a helluva lot longer!
In honor of the Keys to the Kingdom release, I thought I'd share some footage with you of my last legal battle. Clearly, I had a hunger to win. Scarf it up ...
We did! This handrail rebed is for the birds! Never again. But it sure is fun to watch us occasionally FAIL. Thank goodness Bottom-Job Brandon ...
If we want to get that boat moving south next year, it's time to get to work. It's stupid what one "little leak" can do to your boat. Rebed Take One ...
Cuba! I'm kidding (sort of). Maybe. There and 1,000 other places. I'll share our (very vague) plans but we're less than a year out and--believe me--that's ...
Before we tell you where we're going, I thought it might help to know where we've been. In fact, I wrote it all down for you in my first sailing book -- SALT ...
Time to get real people. I've had a great time making entertaining videos but it seems folks want to know the REAL STORY. Well, this is it. The story of me. ...
Ever wondered what it feels like to kite-surf? Well, I'll take you along with me, show you a few things I can do and one thing I certainly can't. You ready? ...
Lost Bay Regatta 2015 and we get heeled over with quite a few "puffs" crewing aboard s/v Hula Girl and get challenged to a true hula hoop throw-down. Enjoy!
