#47: We Can Dig It!
Lookout! The DIY'ers are on the loose. Have grinder, will cut. We made a real mess of things in the bilge, but we gutted the stringers. Tell me, what do you think of our end product? Are we done cutting?

#45: The Tunnel of Doom
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 ready for surgery, though. Lookout rot! Here we come!
#42: Taking Some Hits at the Yard
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 time to disassemble and fix all this stuff, so bring it on boys! Many thanks to the www.perdidos...

#33: Havana Daydreaming
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, cleaning, sanding and prepping. Plenty of cruising vids at https://havewindwilltravel.com/.

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!
#28: You’re Doing WHAT with the Handrails?
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 (because, yes, this is worthy of a three-part saga). Enjoy! Thanks to my Patrons who make it all possib...
Sail Life – Up on the hard, part 10
I had in no way expected my short (1-2 weeks planned) stay in the yard to turn into 10 videos, but here we are. Hopefully, this will be the last video I'll upload with Obelix being stuck up in the hard :) Link to guide about using west system epoxy to ma...
Sail Life – Up on the hard, part 9
Spurred on by the supportive comments on the previous video (Up on the hard, part 8) I've chosen to paint the area underneath the engine. I'm almost done and I'm glad I did this. Thanks, guys! :)
Sail Life – Up on the hard, part 8
Out comes the engine! Fingers crossed all new gaskets in the gearbox will fix the leak :)
Sail Life – Up on the hard, part 5
I solder on the new PL259 connectors and paint (most of) the bottom. As soon as I get the cutlass bearing replaced I'll be back in the water again. Yay!
