Shipyard Vid 3: New Coupling & Rot Repair
Calling all boat project fanatics, this one’s for you! Boy, did we have a time trying to get our engine aligned. While Phillip and I knew we had some kind of issue going on with our prop shaft, the key that fits in the shaft (which was always coming out ...
#91: Cuba Voyage III: Power Management Underway

#82: (Halloween Special) How to Throw the Best Party at the Anchorage [PG-13]
If there's one thing Phillip and I learned from (surviving) our 2nd Annual Ft. McRee Boozer Cruiser, it's how to throw the best party at the anchorage. You only need four things: Costumes, Drinks, Music and Boat-to-Boat participation. Oh, and "engine woo...

What do you need to cross an ocean? A level-head, an adventurous spirit and a sense of humor! Exciting news guys! I have completed the complete, 90+ minute movie from mine and Phillip's first trans-Atlantic this past June when we crewed aboard a 46' cat...

#62: No Water In the Bilge!
How will we do it? With a sump box. The sump box rocks. But, we had to seal up the anchor chain locker first (quite the chore) and run all the hoses. Thanks to Brandon with http://www.perdidosailor.com/ also for devising a cool way to re-purpose an old...
#61: Machined Blocks and a Magic Bilge Box
Why is there always a part of the rigging that does not fit? Why?! Watch as we battle more custom machining woes on the tie rod rigging, finish up the bottom job after a minor Annie meltdown, and reveal how we plan to fix the clogged weep hole in our mas...

#59: A Boatyard Break to Sail the Chute
(And a "worm dance" to boot ... do NOT miss that!) We were headed to the shipyard to work on a Sunday but Brandon said it was too pretty not to sail. Watch as we take a well-deserved break from the yard and hop aboard Brandon's Gulf Star 45 to fly the ch...
#58: Corrosion You Cannot See
Not if it's hidden behind the rigging. Lesson learned here: If you're going to re-rig, pull and inspect all of the pieces. You'll be shocked at what we found. Bonus lesson: Lookout for that hammer. He packs a mean punch. Thanks to the boys at Perdido ...
#57: When Re-Torquing Keel Bolts: 250 = 180
At least that's the decision we made after we broke the torque wrench hammering these guys down. It was a bit of a project all told but we got 'er done and were glad we did because we ended up discovering and righting some hardware wrongs once we'd dug in...
#56: Should the Surveyor Have Found Our Rotten Stringers?
"Why weren't the rotten stringers uncovered in your survey?" Many of you have asked this question so I thought it would be good to talk about this and pose the question to my followers as I am not sure the rot in our stringers could have been or should ha...

#54: In Other News … Our Keel’s Falling Off
It kind of was. And, I kind of weeped about it. First follower to catch and comment on the "torch" snafu (trust me, you'll know it when you see it) wins a shout-out in the next video. And, question of the day: WHAT BROKE? Also, many of you asked, so no...

#51: Replace the Rod Rigging or Switch to Wire?
Replacement of our original rod rigging our 1985 Niagara 35 to new 5/16 stainless steel wire at https://havewindwilltravel.com. Lots of decisions to make in this video dealing with the rigging. Going from rod to wire is going to take a lot of modificati...

#49: D.I.Y. = Do It (at the) Yard
Okay, you all called it. It's time to haul out. "Uncle!" we cried. But, we were proud of the demo we accomplished DIY style. Now it's time to take that same attitude to the shipyard and do this job with the professionals at www.perdidosailor.com so we ...
#48: Bad News, Big Decision
Seems our hack job didn't really pass muster and we have, in the words of Brandon with www.perdidosailor.com "a lot more to do." So, bad news and now a very BIG decision to make. What do you think we should do?
