- Dealing with the elements in not fun! Day we make life abit easier for ourselves by making new bridges to access the boat easier. We can back to woodwork in the engine room, before the heaven's open and we have to deal with flooding inside the boat!

“Ship happens” has a unique way of bringing up their restauration of Sarinda. Simon and Gemma put a lot of effort in making the channel better and better.
That’s a brilliant idea, turn Sarinda into a restaurant 👍.

Thanx for the honneurs.
I’m a dutchman
who tries to express his gratitude to this channel.
Cheers
"When buying a boat, make sure its the wife's idea" no truer words have spoken!
Hahaha... That is such a true remark....
Also make sure that the wood is really rotten its comes apart so much easier.
Also make sure that the wood is really rotten, it comes apart so much easier.
Love you 2 u have such a lovely relationship keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!
Gemma, the prison, blues music, you played while cleaning that metal bracket seemed extremely appropriate! And Simon, it’s said there are two types of fools in this world. Those that loan tools, and those that return them!😂
I'm still waiting for my old mate David to return tools I lent him thirty years ago!
Came to say the same thing. Music is always perfect.
I never cease to be amazed by your resilience and constant good humour. It is a pleasure to watch you working. Keep up the good work.
"Who's that trip trapping over my bridge?"
My children all loved that story!
I grew up in the country. When the rainy season hit, the bridges over the creeks would wash away. The locals would hop on tractors and go look for them. We finally chained them to anchors so they wouldn’t go that far
The boat restoration is very good indeed,but you both are the icing on the cake so to speak. What a cracking couple you are the banter and your personality is the very best.My respect and good wishes to you both. Ken Robinson Wirral.
You guys bloody rock mates blimey
Every man wants a Gemma to share his adventures with.
What a challenge you have taken on, best wishes to you both well done....
Hi Simon and Gemma, I am thoroughly enjoying your exploits with Sarinda. Gemma, instead of having a seperate lower bench, make up a duck board (similar to the bridges you made) to increase your height above the existing bench. That way you both can be comfortable at 1 bench.
It's great that you two love each other so much that you support each other through everything that happens. It's very encouraging...
Great subtle message on you pullover Simon - "lest we forget" - especially how and where the world is tragically heading..... Your tenacity and always great humour, is an inspiration to us all!
Could you have ever imagined 4 years ago that you two would be having so much fun getting so dirty? Oh, and the mud!!!! ❤
Over the last two weeks I have enjoyed ALL of your videos, including “Adventures”! What a wonderful ride. Now I find myself going into withdrawal waiting for more. 😀 Thank you so much for binging kind enough to share this journey with us.
"Roll on Summer". Agreed on that.😊
You are both still smiling . That's good.
I always enjoy watching you two restoring a piece of history. Never give up on your dream..
Simon, I absolutely agree with you on the tools my dad gave me. I treasure all of them and will pass them on to my children!
That was a cool story. People who have dad's like that are so lucky
Roll on summer. Been a wet winter this year. Garden is more swamp than lawn 😂. New bridges look great. Maybe Charles will come visit for an official opening.
Is there any difference between your summer and winter over there, looks like it’s just a bit worse in the winter, don’t know how you handle it
Great job. The guttering fixes and rainy days will be brilliant to look back on when she's travelling the world. They will be distant memories but will make you smile. Great job, as always, and one week closer to completion. 😊
Any channel that makes me laugh out loud is a definite keeper! Thank you both for the hours of entertainment.
good luck on getting it all in that shed. l have been with you right from the first vid and you two all ways make me smile so please keep making the vids. from colin in york
Love you guys, stay safe and dry. :)
Superb work the pair of you. How on earth do you not become disheartened with what is a massive undertaking. It must take a lot of mental resilience to keep getting up and at it day after day. You are so valuable to each other.👍🏻
Gemma needs a work platform in front of the bench! Like a little short scaffolding that can slide under the bench when Simon is working there.
Watching those bolts in the bilge come undone was like an advertisement for British Steel! Remarkable!
G'day Crew,
Great to see more progress. A few more volunteers would be helpful,
So how about it folks, if you are able to help with a day or two now & then , let's help Simon and Gem with this worthwhile project.
After all, it's a boat that was commissioned & served its country .
Best wishes guys ,your doing a really great job .
Respect....!
Best bit of that blog was the bridges , might even pop down and see you again now 😮
A clean shaven man, and a woman who doesn't mind getting dirty. Well done you's. I'm loving your devotion.
One commenter asked if it was bridge to far. I would say no to that comment as it was really a bridge over troubled waters (actually over mud). Your episodes generate some good comments and always great entertainment.
So neat , so perfect, these guys always do a first class job. Waste not want not. For sure Simon, your names will go down in history - they are already really!
You both compliment one another so well.
Both bonkers 😂😉👍🏼🇬🇧🧙♂️
Well done guy's, just keep plugging away...... no pun intended !!
Gemma gets all the good jobs, cleaning a manky bits of iron. 🤣
Got to say she did a great job looks like new. 👍
Great update 2x👍
A-frame you can build a bird cage if done properly it can last for a couple of years get the heat shrink plastic with the gun and the pvc with the connectors you will be fine and just erect a monumental statue around surrender that way you can fix the decks rain or shine
You two guys are amazing. Hope all your dreams come true. Brilliant viewing, top people 👏
I just turned 37 a week ago! :P
And nice with the small troll bridges.
Britian !!!! The only place on the planet that uses Whitworth tools. Years ago in Canada I worked at a brass plant and they had BSA machines and we had to special order Whitworth wrenches from Britian just to work on those machines.
Nice recycled bridges. Two posts on one side with a rope handrail might help. When those grooves on the decking freeze full of water thay can be slipy.
Great vlog, you guys are naturals.
I love watching you two. You dont look 44 Simon. The humor is great as well
Make a little "bridge deck" for Gemma to stand on in front of the bench.
This is just a thank you for you know what!❤
I'll bet you cannot wait to get those decks done this year. No more leaks!
Have you considered getting a small tabletop sand blaster? Ideally one that you could keep and run on the boat. Might make some of these de-rusting jobs a bit easier!
In the 1950s, that stretch of coast near the road you drive down to the sea used to be a lovely sandy beach that we children played on for hours. Aged eight, started to sail out into the Estuary from that exact location of the boat yard when it stored the Dee Sailing Club dingys. Now it is all silted like at Parkgate but at least the tide still comes in.
Nice work…
You've come far on this project. Still far to go but keep digging!
I love you two... you're such a crackin pair!
Some Mothers Do Have Em, was Frank Spencer..Ooh Betty lol 🤣
Respect Gemma, you do a hell of a job together👍
The bridges is a good idea but I also recommend a floating pier anchored next to the ship, both as a landing when the water is in and a "bridge" over the mud next to the ship when it´s out. A 3x3 meter platform at the stern should not get in the way of the nailing, you may even be able to move it to do nails above the waterline at high tide.
Please don't take this as a criticism but if that grey paint you spray onto the metal pieces is just cold galvanising then they will need a rust convertor on first. Although they have 95% of the rust removed the remaining 5% of the rust will flourish under the paint. I remain impressed with your level of dedication and quality of work going into this project, keep at it team!
Gemma, you need a little stool to stand on, so you can reach the Simon sized bench 😉
I know I’ve said before, but the white paint against the copper looks great 👍🏼 nice work again Team
It does!
The trials of making an old wooden boat water tight on a budget takes far more time, but the job is being well done by a dedicated duo.
Frank Spencer 😅😅👍
Gemma loves her metal cleaning,she does a great job ❤
You're a lucky man having gemma , she'd make a few men look silly with her skills.well done team.
I'm not sure if this has been thought of before...you could make Jemma a nice little flip down step/stool platform for her to stand on when she's working at the bench...just a thought😊
Great job guys.The mini bridges are great idea. Might stop raining one day so you can get at least some of the decks on. 🙂 Don't throw the old Whitworth nuts and bolts away. They are worth a few bob to steam and vintage machinery guys. Glad to see the safety glasses are working Gemma ( I can be a sarcy sod sometimes ) ATB
"WE ARE THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY KNEE" good old monty python!!
'Frank' from Some Mother do Ave Em "ooh Betty" 😀
I bet Simon and I could have an interesting conversation. I’m from South Georgia in the USA. I can have a thick accent!
To use a new expression to me. you guys are ace, Bridge builders and water management experts. And now Gemma is going to start a new trend in makeup. Good vlog had to smile often and your gutters worked well Stay safe and well. Ed 40 S of Vegas
You two are a fantastic team working together like you do it makes this so great to watch love the copper spraying Gemma that was a good choice for that particular piece of metal and the joint work Simon was great good luck with the water ingress you know once you do the decks it should solve that lets hope for decent weather very soon see you next time ps love the bridges
Hi Simon and Gemma in the past I have used cut (can be round, or squere or any shape you want;-) up innertubes or tyers as waterprof washers nail/screw through them if you do need to drill use the smallest pilothole you can.
When I've done restoration projects involving cleaning rust from metal parts,I've always then had them hot dipped galvanised. That makes them absolutely bombproof against further corrosion. Where needed to paint to match other parts,I've used an etch primer followed by the paint colour-but it's the galvanising that provides the massive long term protection.
I busted up laughing at the same time gem started laughing. That cracked me up and made my day!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!!
Hard to believe it’s taking you this long to do this. I’ve been shouting at the videos telling you this 😝😝😝
you were probably referring to the builder of the worlds first successful steam locomotive - Richard Trevithick lol regards
You could do with a pressure washer grit adapter to aqua-blast rusty metal. After that, a soak in phosphoric acid will stop any flash rust and hidden pits causing trouble.
Unlike dry angle grinding, minimal health risk and working outside = easy clean-up.
The Royal Engineers would approve of your work
😂😂
I admire how you two just keep on keeping on .
A Captain on a wooden sailboat in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, would liberally scatter rock salt, used for deicing roads and sidewalks etc., over the wooden decks when it would rain. The fresh water would then be turned into salt-ish water and not be so hard on the wood. Perhaps you could entertain something similar?
That laminated rib can be termed "gopherwood" just as Noah was instructed to build his ark. There is no wood species called gopherwood but is the term to describe an ancient process of laminating timber using tree-bark resin.
Free repurposed wood, smart idea.
And free .
Japan architect chain links from gutter to ground beautiful idea--- carry alot of water
I look forward to your video's very much here from Canada, well done, it's quite a journey. I am old enough to remember when British measurement was a thing you are definitely going the extra mile, er kilometre, er klick.
Gemma, when you spray, use tin foil to wrap the wires to keep paint off! I’ve done that before..from the Bahamas 😊 Your bench height should be about 30 inches..not sure about centimeters!
You two should buy and restore a large hovercraft that can haul materials and "fly" back and forth over the muck ! Crazy? Yes but I do have solutions !! Lol
IVE GROWN TO LOVE THESE TWO.❤❤
Great work guys! I was thinking to make it easier for Gemma make a step stool 😊. Easier then a bench😊
You could make your own floating pontoon, around your boat.
Love the way you work together. No bad word said. Amazing. You both turn hard work into bliss.
Thank you so much!
Love the copper ❤
I hope that you make them 'Troll' bridges, could increase your funding.😀😀
Hi guys, I just love you both always give me a big smile everything you do you make a bit of fun out of it and I just love that. Keep up the good work guys. Absolutely love your videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia
Oh I was cycling down Sarinda swamplands this week. It was grim, wet and the air was thick with expletives!
Those gulleys spring out of nowhere, tread carefully guys!
I love watching you too fixing things, you're so good at it.🍻
after the rain comes shunshine
You guys should consider applying a’rust converter’ product before painting your rusty floors. Might help make your paint last longer. Great episode as usual. Thanks! 🇨🇦
Love the copper floor, are you going to re do all the knees in the same colour😉😂
franc spencer lol great show
Hi simon and gemma if you want a quick fix on the wrotten wood where the drips are just mix up some wood glue and sawdust and then just put in the cracks and when it drys it may stkp your leaks until you the wood
All the rain must be so demoralising its been a really wet winter keep your spirits up & keep going 💪
Good progress today - well done! You have 3-4 other bits all ready waiting on one piece so that'll be another good progress day coming up.
You'll get to the stern soon enough, then tackle the transom in summer along with the decks and beam shelf
Pfft be out sailing before you know it!
Summer is just around the corner! Honestly!
Can’t come soon enough!!!
Check out the fishermen who use wooden boats, they put hard Salt Blocks in the bilge to turn fresh water into salt water
Hi I really look forward to Friday afternoons when your video is posted ,and I have watched every episode since you started !! Having restored a boat of my own, I know how much is involved. Also I was born in Heswall and visited the beach there when growing up and still remember the boats that were moored there, many left to rot away. I think that gave me my life long love of all things nautical .I hoped to meet you at BoatLife but you weren't there on the Thursday. Maybe next year Well done, keep going
That table saw is going to take up the entire shed
