Pirate game jammers and spectacular Mavic Pro drone footage! In this special episode we take six games developers from around the world on a trip around Ko Lanta and Ko Jum (Ko Pu), where they discover the delights of Thailand, from trekking to swimming to...
So after the struggles of last week, this week we actually manage to get things done. We finish off the wiring for the new lighting, finally remove that stubborn engine sea cock and begin the process of cutting out the boards for the new headlining.
Music...
As any sailor already knows, whatever can go wrong will go wrong. You have to be friends with Murphy, as he always shows up to any trip out on the water. Offer him some rum, and clean up any problems he may cause.

Work is progressing on sea Horse but we take a moment out to talk mooring lines this week.
If you have your own mooring it makes sense to have your own specially made mooring lines to go on them, and if your going to make your own lines then make sure the...
We've been really busy with non-sailing related stuff, but Jordan found some time to do something he's always wanted to do - take the boat out for a solo sail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
So this week we show you how the engine sound insulation worked out and then move on to other projects.
Unfortunately for one reason or another we couldn't finish half the things that we wanted to start, so settled on installing the new lighting.... well ...
Our good friend comes out to take some moisture reading on our bulkheads, since we determined that the boat had flooded in the past. We also install a conduit, clean up some electrical, and do some testing with some foam-backed vinyl headliner from Sailrit...
Quite a momentous occasion.... we have finished the varnishing!
Thats a big tick on the list :-)
No however we are moving on to other things and we update you on what our immediate plans are.

Ian always likes to get out on New Years Day and go sailing, and amazingly so do some others! even though its normally cold, wet and miserable.
This year he left the covers on his Blaze dinghy and borrowed an Alto for the race and along with Adam a fellow ...
The day starts the collision alarm goes off. Sailing back across the Bay of Biscay, but will it be kinder to me this time? A typical few days on passage as we talk about Ais, spinnakers, torn sails, food onboard, Marmite, being becalmed and getting off sho...
It's not all sunshine and roses when you own a sailboat. This week we do some sanding, fail at trying to remove some adhesive, and that's about it!

We needed to remove the propeller so that we could replace the zinc anode on the sail drive leg. We dont get to do the zinc, but this is the story of how we removed the propeller, and then cleaning it up ready for fitting back on, once the anode has been r...
This week we sew a new bimini cover with sunbrella fabric from Sailrite, then go for a sail down to Pine Key (Beer Can Island) to get some kiteboarding in! It's been a long time since Jordan's been able to kiteboard so he's really happy to get back out on ...
This week, more varnishing... and not all of it goes to plan but we are making progress. Plus we show you some of the other things that we have been doing.
For those that may be interested we got our acrylic sheet from Simply Plastics.

Happy New Year! This week we squeeze four people overnight into a 27 foot boat as we sail out to the mouth of the manatee river during a cold front. We catch and cook our dinner that night and sail back upwind to Tampa in 20 knots.

An (almost) original song by the Foxwell Family. One of our subscribers, a fellow sailor with his own channel 'Just about sailing' wrote a song about his sailing and challenged us to do the same... so we did!
We would love to know what you all think.... bu...
This year has gone so fast and it seems as though we did so many different things its actually nice for us to look back at these films and remind ourselves of everything that when on. I hope you have all found something to entertain you as well, and please...
We aren't experts and we aren't going to teach the you the right way to varnish your boat... but we will show you how we do it. Cheap, quick and easy, and although the results may not be perfect, they are more than good enough and have made a huge differen...
This week we finish up our Sailrite mainsail kit and get it on the boat. We then rip out some more carpet headliner. Finally we get back on the water and motor down to Beer Can Island to clean the bottom of our boat while a pod of dolphins follow us. On th...
If ever a film needed a better thumbnail, then its this one... but there is not much you can show that will make this any more interesting than it is I'm afraid.
So this is just a short update on how we fixed the hole!
Thanks to Mads at Sail Life for th...
This episode we continue with ongoing boat projects, including installing the CDI mainsail reefing system, ripping out our carpet headliner, and sewing our new main sail. We also get a brand new Mast Mate to help us climb the mast in the future.

So after emptying the boat, removing all the clutter that builds up during the course of a years cruising, and then taking off everything else that would move so that we could begin work we uncover a problem... potentially a BIG problem as that!!!
