    Hi Peter, from the video title, I assumed the leak was in the hull, I'm glad that is not the case. From looking at the video, it looks as though that boarded up hatch is a catch point for water. Hopefully your repair will solve the problem. Nice job for a quick temporary fix, Dawn should be pleased with that. If you are brave afterwards, you can give the fix the acid test and pour a few buckets of water in that area to check for leaks. One suggestion: with all that sanding dust, it wouldn't hurt to wear an N95 dust mask. The sinuses are a lot more sensitive during in cold weather. All in all, great job, all those years of improvising really pays off!

    I enjoy watching your videos. You're very practically minded and always find a good solution to any problems. Keep safe and well both of you. Keep dry and warm. Look forward to seeing your next video. Thank you.

    Glad you sorted it out. Fantastic job, seeing as it is temporarily there, better than a lot of permanent fixes take care, keep up the great work. XXX

    Great to see some master bodging. I mean that in the kindest sense Pete. Nice to see you surfing on RUclips again.

      Indeed! A 'bodge' that will get us through the winter until the fibreglass and epoxy comes out. 😀

    When you said at about 3:38 "I probably explained that really badly" Peter, the swans clearly agreed with you as they floated off immediately you said it !! 😎😱

    👍 Thought it was going to be an infomercial for Flex Seal

      If it leaks more it will be a infomercial for buying a LARGE tarpaulin and covering the whole boat with it! 🤣

      We haven’t been doing anything on the boat (work wise) for a bit - so no videos. BUT last week I was off work so was able to crack on and film TWO vlogs. Just need to get them edited etc…. 👍

    I'm a little bit amazed. You live on an island (one of the few that has as much water above as at the sides) and yet, you always have to take care of leaks. Why isn't the boats build waterproof from the beginning? 😁

    Hi peter, for future jobs I'd tuck my hoody strings in out of the way of rotating power tools. Good job anyway. ps, did you ever sharpen the saw you reconditioned quite a while ago ? , Did I miss something or what ?. Best wishes to you both, Russell.

    Had to say not happy with the cost of a toilet that you have to empty every couple of days and the 700 pounds for a fridge that is half the size of a normal one what type of fridge do you use please
