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...
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 ...
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 ...
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 bo...

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 ...
Salt & Tar: Episode 64-Which Project Goes First?
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...
Salt & Tar: Episode 63-Busted Back and Metal Scrap
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...
Salt & Tar: Episode 62-Playing Hooky
Special thanks to Ron for taking us out to the Farallons aboard his Ericson 38, Spellbound. It was a very welcomed distraction from the seemingly never ending boat projects ;) Thanks for watching everyone! Many thanks and much love, Ruthie https://salta...
Salt & Tar: Episode 61-Boatyard Summer
Thankfully this episode is only hours behind when I normally upload and not days. Garrett scrambled and hooked up one of our solar panels so I could keep working on this video during the odd power outage in Napa. The bowsprit is finished up to where we p...
Salt & Tar: Episode 60-Carving the Bowsprit
Garrett did a majority of the filming for this episode! I was stressing about whatever video I was working on at the time but Garrett crushed it and nearly finished the bowsprit in the time it took me to finish the episode haha It looks so great and can't ...

Salt & Tar: Episode 58-Embracing Yard Life
Diving into yard life again. Long and productive days. Napa is hot so taking mid-day breaks is huge. The second half of the day when it's still warm but the decks are fully shaded are the best. After our work here in the yard is complete we'll be looking f...
Salt & Tar: Episode 57-Movement! Back to the Boatyard
Here we go! Back to the boatyard to get a few more big projects done on the boat. To come is deck planking, mast raising, through-hull cutting, bottom painting, and re-splashing. The trip was about 5 miles and took a little over an hour and a half. We arri...
