After weeks of hard work and pressure on Lagoon to do the right thing, Colin receives a phone call from the director of Lagoon, saying that they will cover the expenses of the bulkhead repair for eligible boats. As in boats that are not hurricane damaged, never ran aground or had their rigs over ten...

In this episode we finally get to assemble the cabins after rebuilding the primary bulkheads of our Lagoon 450 catamaran. The cabins could not be taken apart without being destroyed in some areas, so it was a difficult task getting it to go back together. But we are over the moon with the result!

The lagoon bulkhead issue is no longer in question as to whether it is a design flaw or not. 63 lagoon 450's have reported damaged bulkheads, anywhere from bending, to completely snapped. This video shows the behind the scenes footage between Colin and Lagoon, and the struggles amongst confused...
Rejected by 4 countries with nowhere to go, we find ourselves forced to go to deserted reefs and islands in the middle of nowhere to survive. Who would have guessed that the Caribbean has little islands that nobody has ever heard of.
Covid ravages the planet while we are sailing. We are kicked out of 4 countries trying to gain entry but now we have nowhere to go. Our only choice is to hide out on the tiniest islands in the Caribbean and spearfish. We may be in trouble here.
In this episode we finish the last little bit of fiberglass work to be done on our Lagoon 450 catamaran. We use epoxy to reinforce every single bulkhead in the boat, and end up with the strongest Lagoon 450 in the world! But, rebuilding the cabins may not be such an easy task!

In this episode we get almost all of the tabbing done inside the boat, which connects the bulkheads to the hull. It is a huge accomplishment, and we have so much confidence in our repairs, as we plan to take this boat around the world!

Colin finally gives his opinion on the Lagoon 450 design flaw involving the weak bulkhead. Too many Lagoon 450's have contacted him with exactly the same failure, for him to rule out there being a design flaw anymore, as the count is over 20 boats, and counting. Boats that have never been throu...

In this episode we show you how we built new bulkheads using 18mm marine plywood, which we then sealed with epoxy, and are going to glass completely using Wests systems epoxy and 600g Biaxial fiberglass...

We hit the jackpot with this place. It's called Cayo Algodon Grande and it's an awesome island. Just watch the episode....words cannot express the colors and clear water of this deserted island. And we have a beach bbq of shrimps and lobster....what a place!

Grinding fiberglass inside the boat is the hardest work we have ever done. Hands down. The Panamanian heat making it all that much more difficult as well. But after 4 long days we eventually get through all of the grinding we have to do, so that we can start building out new bulkheads.

We have finally dismantled enough of the cabins to start grinding the bulkheads. This is by far the worst job we have done on a boat. The whole inside of the boat gets covered in fiberglass dust, as we take out kilos of fiberglass and rotten plywood. Hence the extreme sarcasm in the title!
This ser...
We leave the Jardines and head to Cayo Cuervo in southern Cuba. I am hoping to trade with a shrimp trawler, get some prawns from them in exchange for some rum. We find out that the trawlers are on another cay, so that will just have to wait. But we find a tiny island that you could throw a stone acr...
As if things couldn't get any worse, we pull off the plywood trim to discovery that the bulkheads were actually completely rotten from being wet, on both sides. After tracing the water we make a crazy discovery as to where the water had been coming from...

We visit a wreck on a nearby reef. It is sad to see another boat washed up on a reef, damaged and stripped beyond repair. We take some time to explore the crystal clear waters and coral reef but return back to home base, Cayo Alcatraz to spear some dinner. It's Margarida's turn to supply t...
After finding cracked bulkheads on my Lagoon 450 catamaran, right when we were about to sail across the pacific, we had to turn around, come back through the Panama Canal, and haul out in Linton Bay Marina, to try straighten the boat, before commencing with the fiberglass repairs. The boat had bent ...
We go exploring around Cayo Alcatraz but it's not what we expected. It really is a lonely harsh place and I love it. I visit a hurricane devastated beach and search for crocodiles but there are non around. News of the Covid virus comes through on the Garmin Inreach and Margarida gets increasing...
In this episode we attempt to haul out our Lagoon 450 catamaran which has severely broken bulkheads. She is badly bent, so we have to take extreme caution when hauling her out, as her structural integrity has been compromised. We come up with a method to try straighten her, which includes resting he...
