It's a special event to launch a ship, and though she's too small to call her one, this 38' wooden sailboat will be launched in a place where 600-ton ships can be launched. When see Arabel...
Final test of our fortitude! The Westerleaky is at it again with another major leak we cannot ignore. In this episode we solve it. We tackled it as a team and got it fixed and tested in two days. Garrett's back constantly gives him issues so that's where I come in ;)
This is the RTV gask...
We went live with Bob Emser from The Art of Boatbuilding and with John Harris of Chesapeake Light Craft on Friday, June 24 at The WoodenBoat Show. We announced that Bob will be building our wooden tender (dinghy) and John helped us with downsizing the plans for building a small boat.

Another annual haul out in the bag! And… another engine problem to diagnose. We try and find a resolution fast so we can still get out this sailing season. Boats love to do this to you. Like a crazy lover to make you doubt yourself and your life decisions. The haul out was so good I guess it could o...

As we prepare for the boat decking, which can also essentially be thought of as the boat deck flooring, there is a lot of preparation for the lumber involved. Everything in wooden boatbuilding starts here: milling, milling, milling.

Getting out on the river as much as we can to test Rediviva's systems. So far so good! The boatyard was able to squeeze us in so we check off our annual haul out for the year. Thank you to Jim for all your help with bottom paint and to my dad who caught a glimpse of us from shore.
Enjoy the s...

Our steam woes are over as we repurpose a familiar fire setup to generate steam the old-fashioned way: a big pot on a big fire. Do you work on steam g...

A huge thank you to Christian and his family for being so welcoming. We take a fun road trip down to (Garrett’s hometown actually) Los Osos where Christian has his shop. We successfully rebuild our transmission and take a little time for ourselves. Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoy t...
We went live as we put the last plank on Arabella. This is a big moment of celebration, a milestone for the build as we carry on toward launch in 2023. The whiskey plank is called so because it is the last plank on the boat, completing the hull structure, and so it calls for a a celebration, traditi...
Watch the Whiskey Plank livestream Saturday starting at 2 p.m. ET:
Of the final three planks, the sheer strake (plank) goes on first. Made of locust, it can sustain the knocks and bumps of dock approaches or rafting (two boats tying up to one another) and defines the shape of the cedar strakes bel...
A little wood work, a little engine work, and a little sewing. Killing some time until the more pressing issue of rebuilding our transmission is possible. Garrett and I are starting to realize we have to throw out the idea of a “plan.” Too many moving parts and it leads to not only letting you down ...
Thank you to EcoFlow, who sent us their Delta Mini Portable Power Station to test. We've been wanting to monitor the refrigerator's performance and actual electrical draw, and it's been such a good tool for that.
We start this week with the shop itself. It's been a long while ...
We have been blessed to have the help that we've had recently. We got to work and meet Noe last year and he came back this year with his girlfriend, Victoria. We got so much done! Making it hard to say goodbye because we've become friends. I can't wait to show these two the cruising l...
Coach roof (cabin house) carlins are installed this week, and there's probably not much more satisfying than seeing finish go onto interior pieces before they're assembled like big-kid Lego, where they'll live all their days from here on out. Since the surface just above it will be st...
Thanks for watching everyone!

We build our own 12v watermaker to turn seawater into fresh drinking water from our solar panels. It's a tough project and we learn a lot but it's going to be so worth it in the end when we can live off grid! Make sure you watch until the very end for our reactions!

As I edit the rest of the crew keeps busy. I'm so proud of how much they filmed in my absence. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Victoria ( has made such a beautiful piece on our main bulkhead. Incorporating some of the inspiration for my latest tattoo; the Frigatebird. It's the first t...
