@@roga8681 we spread the silicone on the glass in order to replace the paint that was on the glass originally. We also put the silicone on the hull which we did not spread. This was probably between 3/8" and 1/2" thick at application. Definitely not spreading on the hull.

@@roga8681 these hull windows definitely need something longer than 3/4" blade to get to all the sika that was used to mount it. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with the wire on the hull windows. The salon windows however (coming soon!) would be a good application for this, but we were able to get them off with the tools we had on hand as well less the wire.

@@roga8681 good to know! Thanks for the pro tip

@@thorn3377 oh man! No you didn't mention that!!! We will be back soon to finish this project. We need to get a beer and lament our boating woes 😁

That's a great call for that set up. We've since upgraded to the plastic drop cloth we used to make the templates and gorilla tape. We're movin' on up! 🤣

Not gonna say there weren't copious amounts alcohol consumed that evening 🤣🤣😭😭. But seriously it was just so shocking we didn't know how to respond. Luckily it seems we have a good plan moving forward. See you next week!

@@diyreporpused7116 best we can tell (and if you listen very closely you can hear it in the video) I (Daniel ) tapped the corner of the pane against one of the concrete pillars of the dock. There was a short *boooong* sound that preceded the epic shattering of the window, and in hindsight it's the best explanation we have. Thanks for watching and hope to see you back again soon!

@@captnmcq totally get that. We have called it our "Give a f**k list". When phrased like that it's fairly simple to decide what gets done and in which order 😂

A good sailor's gotta pivot right?! Paige is doing great, cut is healing better than anything I've (Daniel) ever seen in a kitchen and it sure was a good one! Definitely should have had a stitch or two. Regarding the window, best we can tell (and if you listen very closely you can hear it in the video) I, again Daniel here, tapped the corner of the pane against one of the concrete pillars of the dock. There was a short *boooong* sound that preceded the epic shattering of the window, and in hindsight it's the only logical explanation. Thanks for watching and hope to see you back again soon!

@@Harry-bh5dg it was a miracle I (Daniel) didn't just have a Chernobyl level meltdown! Considering the time it's taken thus far just to get a new window on order (going on 8 weeks now) I really can't recommend breaking another one...

@@thorn3377 very true! But I think (and I also think the camera caught the sound of it) I (Daniel) may actually have bumped the corner of it on one of the concrete pillars. It was incredibly gentle if I did, but right place, right time eh? Oof....

@@SailingRoam We were in generally 30ft-ish but chicken seems to be the answer. But having less than optimal chicken on a sailboat...oof no thanks! 🤣🤣🤣 We too have spent far too much time on repairs and maintenance this summer. Hopefully we make the Bahamas before the new year...

@@r52euphoria live and learn right?! Down here in the southern US they fish for blue crab in what seems like anything from wading depth to 50+ft. As for bait, who knows but we've definitely heard stinky chicken. Can't wait to get back up there!

@@drmaggietherapy haha, probably not unless it was one of the cute furry kind!

We did add several more cans but making it fresh each time probably wouldn't have hurt! We were definitely missing home and Winston by the end of it all. We started our sailing adventures as monohull folks but I think we may be catamaran people now! 🤣🤣🤣

@@pstive we're so glad you like it! We were there the first week of September 2024 and we understand that the waterfall is bigger in the spring.

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's a hoot for sure. We seem to have a skill at making the easy look hard and vice versa maybe? No, probably not, haha!

We are so glad we got to see those humpbacks - they are so majestic! And, yes, the whole area seems to be such a secret to the rest of the world. Stern trying is truly an art, maybe even more than docking? Nah, docking will always be hard 🤪

@@Harry-bh5dg yes, yes, and yes! It was such an awesome place. We can totally understand why people go back all the time. We hear that in the spring the sheer amount of waterfalls from all the snow melting is incredible

We try our best! Boat work can only go on for so long....

We loved every second (except the crunching ones)! We're so extra drop the next episode tomorrow!!!

@@r52euphoria that's awesome! Yes, she was very fast when we had the chance to sail her. We enjoyed our time on board but I think we're catamaran people now! 😆

👍

We do too!!! So good to get away from projects and out on the water even if just for a little while.

@@steveironside7255 care to trade? 😆

@@pdgadventures I live in municipality of Vancouver and when I was young I fish commercially our coast from Vancouver to Alaska and did some recreational boating in Desolation sound and water around .

@@steveironside7255 it's such a beautiful area. Watching this again makes us antsy to get back!

@@MichaelCollins-the-other-fella that's a great idea for the next time we run into this kinda situation. Thanks for the advice!

Done and done!

Hard to say, need to do more research 🤣

That's a great idea! We will give that a shot

Boat ownership is just doing maintenance in exotic places right?! Personally looking forward to the exotic places part 🤣🤣🤣

It's a great park, wish we could've spent more time

@@SailingRoam yes, it works much better now. We clean the raw water filter daily, and we installed the system to make it easier to do in the future. I think it has helped extend the life of the AC unit all together.

@@jameskahl9546 all good! We were/are in a great spot for that storm. Most wind we saw was right at 40kn but it stayed sustained in the upper 20s- low 30s from about 1am to 3am. Nothing we haven't ridden out on anchor before.

@@CTJonathan333 awesome! Welcome to the adventure. 😁

Hadn't seen the hose clamps you mentioned but they certainly look like an improvement that will soon make its way into our inventory! No kidding on the price of the stuff, had we thought we may have saved it...next time I guess 😁

@@Harry-bh5dg he never ceases to surprise us on something new he's taught us to do. He's a fantastic trainer 🤣!

He is a sweet boy and often demands our attention. But we don't mind giving it to him. :)

It was a great trip! Lots of learning and opportunities to learn. Nothing beats sea miles. And, yeah, editing, oof! We have enlisted some help with it but it's still one of the biggest parts of the whole thing!

Oh yes, very much so. We definitely decided that catamarans are the future for us, but monohulls are lots of fun. The rain storm was absolutely amazing for the pictures and we are so glad they came out as well as they did! Look forward to seeing more of yours as well!

Sorry to disappoint you? The skirt and pearls stay on regardless and have nothing to do with seamanship. Thanks for stopping by!

@@pdgadventures - I told you - it has nothing to do with seamanship!

Points north may be another season we still have so much to do to get ready for our next Bahamas excursion! And as for next spring/summer? Who knows?!? We barely can keep 8 weeks out a solid plan, haha! 😆

We sure did and Tony was great! I thought we made a point of it but if we didn't we'll definitely reiterate in the description!

Lol! Thanks for the cameos! Yeah, we talked to the guys (after the fact 🤣) and that what they said. But considering how high the laundry is we would have much bigger problems if it got to that point!

Ding-ding-ding!!!

Wow, thank you! This is definitely a game of grit and determination. Not for everyone that's for sure!

Well, at least for now the big blue is on hold. Winston needs a little more stability than an ocean crossing can provide. But I think with the right crew and maybe with a rally we may make the jump. Or we could just do what others have recently done and put our little boat on a big boat? 🤔

It's crazy how the ick creeps up on you. We're finding that when the seas are aft of the beam it hits harder. That being said pounding into it is a beating for both ship and crew. 100% agree on finding the right weather window, but sometimes ya just gotta go and deal with it. Having experienced it does make it better in hindsight, not a lot of fun at the time though.

Glad you enjoyed it! We love visits from the "no-drama llama" and want to make sure we keep it that way!

Thank you kindly!
