Salt & Tar: Ep.159- Island Life

Salt & Tar: Ep.157- Bending the Mainsail
Bending a sail means securing/rigging a sail to the spars. We get a majority of the lines, shackles, and blocks situated. Garrett hoists the mainsail so many times, trying to beat his reefing times, I lost count. Like a child again the joy is clear. Apolog...

Salt & Tar: Ep.153- AuGUST of Wind
I knew I'd be shooting myself in the foot by saying we'd be leaving the dock in August. Or have I? Mike, our sailmaker, is doing everything he can to finish our sails but with the current state of the world being what it is some things are beyond our contr...
Salt & Tar: Ep.152- Butterfly Hatch
David is so wonderful for doing this project for us. It lets in so much light and air and it’s basically done… Sorry for the wind noise in this one my mic broke but the show must go on. Our buddy Hoffa was here to help or distract Garrett I'm not sure ...
Salt & Tar: Ep.151- Herringbone Table
I knew I wanted the old redwood in the herringbone pattern for the tabletop I just had to convince Garrett. Redwood's soft but the stuff we have from my parents' old hot tub is pretty hard and with an epoxy coat on top, it's perfect for the dinette table. ...
