Our Story:
My name is Ed, I am an ex-muscian, turned politician, turned tax account, who now imagines himself a sea-captain. Lyn, is an ex-model, turned photographer and the love of my life.
We have spent the last three years traveling on our 65' Hatteras Yacht and it has been terrifying. We have faced down storms, been stranded at sea, towed off shoals and run aground by careless boaters.
But it has been magical as well. We have explored places known only by those who travel by water, met incredible people along the way, and learned so much about boating - and even more about ourselves.
And to think - until three years ago, Lyn, and I, never even owned a boat.
We met when we were 21. I was a starving musician, on my way To Los Angeles to starve some more. Lyn was a model, waitressing tables and dreaming of adventure. We went on our first date to the Jersey Shore, and spent the night on a boat her father was restoring. That date has never ended.
We traveled the country together, and settled for a few years in Hollywood, where she discovered her love for photography, and I discovered that music was not going to be my career. We put down roots in Bucks County Pennsylvania. We built a house together, raised three children and became your typical American family. She opened a photography business and I opened an accounting firm.
On a vacation to Key West, we met a woman who lived on her boat. She had been an emergency room nurse for many years but decided she had had enough. She sold everything, bought a boat and sailed to Florida. We were fascinated. It seemed so romantic, so us. The seed was planted.
Flash forward a few years and the children are grown. Lyn retired from photography and sold her business. And me, well, I was only working three months out of the year and looking for a new adventure.
So, we bought our first boat. A Carver 355. No experience, and completely clueless. We hired a captain to bring us to our local marina and we were determined to learn how to operate her. We practiced in an empty marina for a couple of days and then, we just went for it! We figured, if we liked boating as much as we imagined, we would trade up to our dream boat. Two years later we did just that.
This video vlog is our story. Boating has become our passion. We invite you to share this journey with us, as we explore the waterways of the Atlantic and Carribean, having the time of our lives, while "Trying Not To Sink."
Cheers!
Ed and Lyn.

“Practicing in the mind” makes perfect ! I do it every time I’m tackling a task never done before. Works 100% of the time sometimes.....
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Gage Vincenzo instablaster =)
The repair is looking good and I agree with your choices. The boat is built with polyester resin so staying with poly is a good choice. Onward we go.
I agree.
Great Job ED! I have said it before it nice to see an owner take on these projects. I no longer live near any blue water being in West Texas. when I had my 42 Irwin Ketch I did all of my own work. I saw so many that called the boat yard and said fix it! Those folks spent a lot of money! I really appreciate seeing you and Lynn do the things the two of you have done with maintaining this boat!
Thanks 👍 I enjoy doing most of the work. Plus I am cheap!
Damn, Ed, you are like a master glasser! Great work! Looks very sturdy and rigid!
Thanks!
@@tryingnottosink9107 Im not sure if you have seen this guy, name is Andy, but the info he shares is very in depth, ruclips.net/channel/UC0kDqq-pSzdqFUk3oTaHBuA
Captain Ed reminds me of Bob Ross. Captain Ed makes owning and repairing a yacht look easy just like Bob Ross made painting look easy.
That is because I edit out all the cursing!
I have to tell you Ed and Lynn for someone who bought a yacht A few years ago and had no clue I’m so impressed that you fix everything on your yacht two thumbs up. Ed cut the ponytail off and frame it
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Actually, I am just cheap! So I fix everything to save money!
"Are you gonna sit there and stare at it for a while?" - absolutely brilliant - chuckled for hours! Keep it up.
She knows me well!
Splendid Job there Ed, you’ll have the new windlass in in no time.
We hope so!
nice job👍
Thanks 👍
Great job on the repair captain! Went exactly as planned, at least it looked like it. I'm sure it did.
Thanks 👍
Looking good! Nice Job.
Thanks 👍
Looks a good Job to me id be happy with that so far well done Great Vlog thanks
Thanks 👍
🛥🛥🛥🛥Total boat products are great and priced right 👍🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥Good job Ed 👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Yes they are!
Great show, Ed!
Thanks!
Great job Ed! I don’t think it could have gone any better. Nice camera work. Rodger out for a job well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job.
Thanks!

I think of this job as being particularly intimidating...
Certainly, the time involved is greater than the video shows...but it doesn’t appear as scary as one might think.
Thx again, Ed. 👍
Ugh! Not looking forward to doing this on our 53' Hatteras, but I am sure that it's in the cards. Our windlass doesn't work and has to come out. I will seriously bet that we have the same rot underneath. Your approach to this repair looks very solid-I might just steal it from you!
It was a pain but it went smoothly. Our new shaft and gearbox are supposed to arrive tomorrow. It will be a busy weekend.
Lekker man lekker
You did a very good job I have repaired a boat that was in a barn and the barn fell on the boat but 3 months later I was on the water I do not ever want to you Resin or mess with fiberglass again
Thank you!
Talked to the manufacturer about thinning the Coosa? Worried that we might have compromised some of its strength, particularly in the pulpit area where stresses can be pretty massive, especially before you rig a bridle.
The Coosa is solid. It appears to be the same thing all the way through.
That is so awesome you got it going your way now buddy good video guys
Thanks 👍
Making it look easy Ed!
Great video, little bit of boat yoga with a meth lab vlbe! 😄😄 keep up the good work!
Thanks. And thanks for watching.
Like Skeleton captain.😁
Andy on boatworks today channel tested the hold between coosa and epoxy, polyester and other resins. They all held well and it boils down to personal choice in most cases.
The one area there can be issues is bonding against some resins means you need to use specific resin or epoxy to get a good bond. Epoxy may cost more but it will bond with anything, polyester, vinylester resins get touchy sometimes.
there sometimes can be a problem using polyester on an epoxy i cant remember which way arround it goes one way works but the other way arround does not stick well
I enjoy his channel and have watched many of his videos.
What about options:
-soaking marine plywood with epoxy real good (epoxy is waterproof as opposed to polyester resin);
-using scrap pieces of fiberglass for core
❔⚓️
That would work. We just heard great things about coosa board and thought it would be easiest.
Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Saludos!
Great job Ed, although I am one of the epoxy crowd.
Best wishes from the North.
Thanks!
thanks learned something ...hope to hook up with you guys in annapolis
Annapolis is one of our favorite stops. I am sure we will be there some time this season.
💯
that winch isn't going anywhere with that new solid base I bet that's stronger than the old plywood you removed...
We thinks so too.
There's tiers of resin polyester, vinylester, and epoxy. Epoxy is far by the strongest, but it's also the most expensive. Vinylster is basically the middle ground between cost and strength, polyester is well the cheapest of three and you get what you pay for in terms of what your willing to invest in.
I was going to stop watching Ed but now I have to keep watching to see how long it takes to pull the windless in the ocean. It says on the can polyester laminating resin (laminate) is to build up cloth then mat then cloth then mat then laminating not for glue. To say I paided $$$ for core bord then you buy and use the polyester resin in the bow to hold the windless. Ed go back to politics pay a skilled boat ship to do that work. Read the West Systems how to!!!!!!!!
Hi 👋 from the uk 🇬🇧
Hi Thanks for watching!
Nice job!
Are you going to stuff my resin up around the edges of the filler board? So it’ll bond to the remains of the wood core.
Can’t hurt to put a more layers of glass them you think you need. Get as much strength as possible. V out the edges and use resin with the thickener to fill. Then as many layers of glass as possible to add good mechanical bond to the fiberglass. To spread the load of the windless out as far as possible. Both the resting load while being beaten by heavy seas and the working load while raising and lowering the anchor. Most important the shock load while setting the anchor.
Yes. I made a tube out of a gallon ziplock bag and squeezed resin into any gaps. It will be in the next video. I also sanded down the edges and put two layers of fiberglass cloth around the perimeter.
@@tryingnottosink9107 sounds like a premium job was done. Nice!!!
Great work! I’m looking forward to see what happens next week.
Was that a Ft. Pierce City Marina shirt? I’m watching on the small screen and wasn’t sure.
Next time you’re around the Stuart area, let us know. (Yes, from L M all the way to Fl !!)
We’d really like to have some cocktails and bs together.
😃
Yes it was! It was the first marina we ever visited with the Hatteras. We will be passing through again in May. We plan to post our schedule this year.
@@tryingnottosink9107
Did you also come down to Stuart? How about the Sat green market in Ft. Pierce?
How did you make a template for the cusa board to fit so well?
I used the fiberglass that I cut out.
What year was your boat built-in ?
1979
I didn’t see you prime with unthickened resin first?? And grinding all of that resin over a dock isn’t the best environmental choice
I did prime, perhaps I forgot to mention it.
10 to 12 layers of cloth fiberglass around every cut to remove the skin. Angles cut both side a -V- to lay the cloth and resin to the level of surface. Ref the West Systems how it fiberglass!!!!!!! It comes off in a big bay in a storm you run over 2 or 3 boats then what your insurance inspector and coastguard reports windless deck failure was due to owners work done to replace core wood the owner stated to on RUclips his process.
