you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Rhett Nash I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The previous owner really did take fine care of her. All those spares! Wonderful! For her to sit those years after he died and you to be able to bring her back to life so quickly is a testament to him care and your skill. She'll serve you two well! You got yourself a fantastic deal on a special boat. Grats!
This Vlog is better than any other on youtube or the tv ..Fantastic to see you fixing stuff again Magnus ,and you catching fish Wendy .If poss can you give all your followers a quick guide to where you hope to be going over the next couple of months...really exited for you both and cant wait for the next instalment..Well done again ..
Looks like you are off to a great start. All i could think of when I saw the Plantains and bananas was the superstition that if you have a banana on a boat you won't catch any fish. Glad that you were able to prove that one wrong.
My wife is from El Salvador and the way we cook plaintains is to let them get really ripe and soft, then peel them, cut in half, then length wise into 6 pcs total, then fry in coconut oil till brown. If they are ripe enough they are very sweet and good to eat. Plaintain recipe from Wasilla Alaska. Enjoying your videos, thanks.
Just starting the journey with you guys. Have to say I already love your style, enthusiasm and I am particularly enjoying the gradual revival of your gorgeous Hans Christian! A unicorn for sure and one of the most beautiful ocean cruisers ever made! Can't wait to follow your adventures. Fair winds Aussie mates!
You have more luck than hartlies.....fancy just having a new pump on board.... Is there anything u haven't got ....it's like watching blue peter, when they used to say...and I have one already here to show you, when making models , lol... Where did Magnus learn all his skills ????, there's nothing he can't fix ...hartlies is a jam by the way....means your jammy , lucky as us northerners would say , a slang word for lucky...
A truly amazing and impressive transition, wouldn't believe it's the same boat, congratulations. Good luck with the next part of the voyage and take care.
Congratulations for getting on the move - a major achievement/milestone.👍 Good to see the onboard spare gear already coming in handy with the water pump - and what a great engine room for access.😀 When it comes to undoing a set of bolts there is always one barsteward - for the future and it sometimes helps once you have freed off all the other bolts and you are left with the barsteward, put all the other bolts back in and tighten them up this reduces the clamping load on the barsteward. Great update.👍👍👍👌
Buy new halyards you don't want to have to climb those masts. Terrific work keeping the engine going. Lots of stuff will break as you start using it, so no surprises there.
Now I'm for making brass shiny again but... That lamp looks to be a candidate for a narrowboat Buckby water can theme paint job to save it from the scrap heap.👍😃
White vinegar and baking soda will clean that lamp up a treat, mix it to a sloppy paste and let it sit awhile, test every now and again, well done on getting Nutshell shipshape in such a short time, love your videos, keep safe.
Thanks Jeff. We’ve since tried everything on the lamp. I think we’ll get it professionally cleaned and then varnished to seal it! Thanks for the info. W.
What a transformation! Got to hand it you two, you’ve done a fantastic job. Trust all goes well on your World trip; wishing you both a very merry Christmas and happy sailing in 2018. 🎄🥂🎉👍
Classic comedy combined with a great adventure! Magnus:”Grab hold of the sheet Wendy”. Wendy: So I started looking for a big white thing! Classic! Love it. All the best you you both. Keep sucking the Limes!
You have both done amazing what a great job on getting all of it to come together, I’m loving watching you both on your new adventures, congrats on your first fish Wendy bet it was tasty 😋 keep the videos coming xxx
absolutely excellent! and well done catching that shar... er, fish! that was awesome! bet magnus made a 12 course meal from it! lol very very well done getting nutshell... the ressurected heap of junk (well very bad state anyhow... junk is a tad toooo strong!) to a cruise liner 😊😎 im so proud to be a nutter and subbed 😊 you've both done so well, you deserve calm seas and good sailings... ooaarrr jimlad, we are nutters and we see the sea! lol safe sailing, hope the weather behaves! 😊
You’ve both worked really hard getting the boat ready for her next adventure, but now I suspect the real hard bit starts. We are very happy for you. Magnus looks sooooo excited. Merry Christmas and bon voyage from Sally & Billy 🎄⛵️🍾🙋🙋🏻♂️
Cool! Be sure to have something hanging on the side that always always you to claw your way back onboard if you should fall overboard. Stay away from areas of the world known for pirates. Do not want to read about you in the news. If you get out sailing around the world and run into a group of ham radio operators tell them K9ZM says "Hey! And good DX." Have fun!
DOLPHIN FISH!!! Yes, I have caught and eaten many of them... though I use two different names... Dorado and Mahi-mahi My dorado's were caught off Muscat, Oman
The boat looks transformed its fantastic. For the brass lamp someone on one of the NB forums suggested soft toothpaste on a cotton wool pad to polish brass mushroom vents and apparently it worked. I have no experience myself but as you probably have those items aboard I thought I'd pass the information on. I don't suppose it can do any harm! Is that engine too handy for a man like Magnus? Thanks for another great vlog. I can honestly say I'm no longer missing you on the GU!
Good Morning Magnus and Wendy. Delighted to see you are under sail, away to begin your world adventures. I was oh, oh that water looked heavenly as you enjoyed a well earned swim. Wendy you're a star, you always make me smile, well done on your fish, even the giggling, don't let it get me, I laughed with you, everyday a new challenge, a new learning curve. Magnus, the undisputed champion captain, cool, calm and capable. Really enjoyed this video. Wherever you may be let me wish you Merry Christmas. Be safe, healthy and happy.
When you get to a proper boat store, look for a product called, "never dull". When I was in the Coast Guard, we used that to shine our brass bells. It work wonders. Just wear gloved, and use a soft cloth to buff it out. It will clean up that lamp, and steering pedestal .
That’s where we’re at now, five years on! We’ve decided to hand it over to the experts and, once it’s clean we’ll get it varnished to keep it that way! W.
Ripe plantains (bananas) are sliced diagonally and fried until golden brown, white rice plus 2 fried eggs, avocado and ham, this is called Cuban rice
Great to see you got your 'essentials' at least ..... Clothes-Pegs on the washing-line :-) Brilliant video .... You two got some 'WhatsIts' to be embarking on a round-the-world trip. I'd prefer a little cruise round the Isle-Of-Wight ... (That's as daring as I'd get :-)
greetings nutshell, from north pole, Alaska it's 25 degrees and about 3' of snow. I'd rather be in panama or costa rica about now.LOL nice boat by the way.
Wow Wendy!! what a catch!! did it taste nice? Nutshell is looking good. Your journey is so different from your canal life!! Keep the vlogs coming takecare xx
Have to admit the video of your first time aboard had me thinking, "Oh boy. What have they gotten themselves into?", but you've done an amazing job. So what are your plans? Where are you going?
You can dissolve the corrosion off the lamp with vinegar but you need to soak it in it and then use some chrome polish autosol is the best,alternatively you could use steel wool to scrub off the corrosion but metal polish and elbow grease will have it back like new but if you leave it bare the sea air will tarnish it again fast so car wax or clear coat it or just polish it when it turns brown again
The definition of cruising===fixing your boat in exotic places.
Too true, Barb. Thanks for watching. W.
Wonderful...smiling non-stop at you two being so happy!
you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?

She is a wonderful boat. We both love her. We will continue to work on her to bring her back to her former glory. Thanks for watching. W.

Looking good now, stay safe please and don't forget to keep us informed. Enjoy all your hard work.
This is going to be a fantastic adventure. I feel as excited as you two and will follow you where ever you go, good luck.

Citric acid is an amazing cleaner for everything. You can find a dilution chart online if you're able to find it in full strength
Hi Ben. Thank you for the info. W.

They can get it from Autobarn, next time their in Australia
Hi Andrew. Thanks for the info. I’ll look it up. W.
Happy New Guys and all the best for the New Year for 2018 :-)
Take your oil lamp to a metal polisher. They will make it look brilliant! (;
That’s where we’re at now, five years on! We’ve decided to hand it over to the experts and, once it’s clean we’ll get it varnished to keep it that way! W.
Ripe plantains (bananas) are sliced diagonally and fried until golden brown, white rice plus 2 fried eggs, avocado and ham, this is called Cuban rice
Thank you for the information. We hadn’t come across plantains before! W.
I don't know what you are saying most of the time but I love your videos they are fabulous.
Thank you. W.
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Great catch! BNB
Thanks. W.
Mice fish to start your adventure...it is a good omen.
I wonder what that red thing on the shore which looked like the cab off a whacking great tractor was?
Great to see you got your 'essentials' at least ..... Clothes-Pegs on the washing-line :-)
Brilliant video .... You two got some 'WhatsIts' to be embarking on a round-the-world trip.
I'd prefer a little cruise round the Isle-Of-Wight ... (That's as daring as I'd get :-)
Thanks Pete. Cheers
greetings nutshell, from north pole, Alaska it's 25 degrees and about 3' of snow. I'd rather be in panama or costa rica about now.LOL nice boat by the way.
Hi Mike. We’ll head up your way one day. Thanks for watching and commenting. W.
Wow Wendy!! what a catch!! did it taste nice? Nutshell is looking good. Your journey is so different from your canal life!! Keep the vlogs coming takecare xx
Hi Sarah. It was very yummy. We ate it for days. It’s very different from Canal life. We love them both. W
You both should be very proud of yourselves, you have do so much cleaning and mending Nutshell! Magnus is a dab hand at fixing stuff. xx
I must be number 10 to comment on your lamp, but if you found some anti-oxident on the boat somewhere, it works wonders!
Love your can do attitude!
Thanks for the info, Hendrik. W.
Have to admit the video of your first time aboard had me thinking, "Oh boy. What have they gotten themselves into?", but you've done an amazing job. So what are your plans? Where are you going?
Hi Warren. North to Alaska is the only plan we have. Cheers
You can dissolve the corrosion off the lamp with vinegar but you need to soak it in it and then use some chrome polish autosol is the best,alternatively you could use steel wool to scrub off the corrosion but metal polish and elbow grease will have it back like new but if you leave it bare the sea air will tarnish it again fast so car wax or clear coat it or just polish it when it turns brown again
Thanks for the tips. We’ll have it looking like new in no time. Cheers
