#43: Removing the Shrouds: How Many Lawyers Does it Take?

Two apparently! Removing these shrouds required some hefty plumbing wrenches and a few bad lawyers jokes but we finally got them off! Enjoy!

#41: The Cause of our Rotten Stringers

Complete rotten stringer repair documented in vlogs at Here, we found out why our stringers rotted. You want to know? Mud clogging the weep hole in our mast step which allowed water to sit constantly in the step and eventually seep down into the stringers because they were not glassed on top. V...

#40: Missing the Mast Already

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 knowing she's got sunny, silky dreams to keep her warm. More sailboat silking at

#39: Pulling the Mast

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, enjoy the Video Breakdown by Yours Truly!

#38: Here Comes the Crane!

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 the crane!

#37: Here Comes the Boom!

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 of a mess, but don't let it get you down! Getting that stringer fixed will get us one step closer to sailing south! Follow along ...

#35: Time to Replace the Old (B)rods

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 to sail south next season, a re-rig was in high order. Let the debate begin ... rod versus wire.

#32: When Rigging Fails

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) stood up to some of the heaviest forces she has ever seen. This was, easily, our worst sail ever on the boat.

Sail Life – House vs Boat, Liveaboard Q&A

After having uploaded the last video, I received an email from Rutger and Ilse with a bunch of questions. All the questions had to do with transitioning from living in a house to become a full-time liveaboard. I figured these questions might be of interest to other potential liveaboards. Let me know...

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 possible. Get inspired. Get ...

Sail Life – House VS boat, transitioning to be a liveaboard

I've been living board the boat for three months now. I know I haven't done a lot of "liveaboard" videos lately. Here is why :-) Do I love being a liveaboard? YES! I could easily see myself living aboard a boat the rest of my life. Links: Facebook: www.facebook.com/saildotlife T...
