Everyone please know that a fellow boaters daughter has taken a bad turn and the same family the mother went down. Please show some support to Sailing Spoondrifter, it may not be big for you but this family needs it thanks
My heart breaks for Dave. He has obviously put alot of love, sweat and tears into his buisness over the years. Good of you two to give him a hand cleaning up and i hope he had good insurance.
Over and over i see you two helping your fellow man. You represent the best of our species. I love your happy personalities and following your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
The fire at the marina was tragic but you guys helping out is just how good of a neighbor you really are. Tackling the steering was needed new cables are also warranted but replacing the binnacle base with a new casting should help the longevity of that repair. Good luck with the hurricane.
Lightning down here in Florida has been getting worse over the years just like the hurricanes. I feel bad for the Marina owner but hopefully he had good insurance and will recover soon. Two of my friends both have been widows for the past 8 years or so. Well, they each owned $2 million dollar homes on a canal in Naples. Florida. When Ian hit last year, the water was above their roofs and they lost everything. Either of them had insurance, when their husbands were alive they felt that they didn’t wanna pay the insurance company so much money when they could do the repairs themselves. They immigrated here from Italy back in the early 80s. Now both locks are up for sale, hopefully they can recoup something from their loss. Hurricanes hit anybody, they are not prejudiced at all. Helen, you are so beautiful and smart, you and Ted are doing a great job with your channel. Thanks for keeping it. So interesting, the eye candy isn’t that bad either. Hahaha ❤️❤️❤️ God bless you both and Lord please keep them safe. ⛵️
@@SailingLiberty Shit! A 0 count means directly overhead!!! So glad y'all didn't hit 🙏 Feel really bad for Dave and the Marina, hopefully he'll be able to re build. Stay safe👍🇺🇸❤️
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!! Helen is a real trooper jumping in to help. You two are spreading good karma, which will come back to you all in the future. Great channel, regards from Arizona
About one year ago, July 29th, our 12-condo building burned down. The wife and I lost everything to someone else's negligence. I am 65 years old. I had a lot of personal property, it's just gone. Just last week, they laid the foundation for the rebuild. We are still homeless and staying with friends. I know the destruction of fire. I'm glad you are safe.
Yes, this video has some really hot moments. Some you wish hadn't happened, and some you wish would have continued quite a lot longer. Oh well. Great video. Thanks guys. And, I hope the Marina comes back together really quick.
It was pretty surreal when lightning stroke and then we saw the smoke and we still cannot believe how much the fire damaged. When we ran out I gave Ted our boat’s tiny fire extinguisher and when we arrived to the marina- electrical fire, it was beyond anything small. Windows were bulging with heat and we heard electricity popping like popcorn. Our boat took the hit as well since we were connected to the shore power. Thanks, Helena
Great job guys! Good thing you were their to help your friends in their time of need. Thank God the fire did not make it to the fuel tanks, it could have made this terrible calamity so much worse. Ted, thanks for the tips on the cable installation and the brinicle control head, really good information for anyone restoring an old sailboat. Just a FYI for Helen. In the future please think about removing the watch and ring before working with ropes, cables or wire. Just want Just want both of you to stay as safe as possible. Another great video guys looking forward to see how you fair with the storm . as soon as I saw the track on Weather Channel I was thinking of you. Good luck!
Wow so much in this episode. Sympathies to Dave. Luckily no one was injured. It could have been so much worse! Great job helping out. You are paying it forward as you always do. You are an inspiration working so hard on those difficult jobs. It is all going to be worth it though and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master there's nothing left after a fire so sorry for Dave's business well done for helping him cheers guys Marty Australia
..... have seen trees that have been hit by lightning and they don't all look the same, some are just shattered into massive splinters and others all you see is charred remains ... sorry to hear your marina burnt .. fire is devastating .... Dave seems gung ho to rebuild and has good spirit .... good ob on feeding the new cables through ... thx for the share .. as always ... never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
WOW, sorry to see the fire and it’s loss for everyone, not just the owner! IMHO, take good care of cuts and nail punctures in FL. Great climate for infections and tetanus. Sandals are not the best shoes to wear when cleaning up trash. I saw boots in later shots. Were you able to test the compass heading when finishing the binnacle? Good demonstration on securing cable. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Awful to see the fire. Trying to figure out what to do or where to run is horrible. So good that no one was injured. Helen, no jewelry while working please. The injuries don't bear thinking about.
WoW...what a scare. When lightning struck and Helen's face lit up in horror...and then we see the actual fire with the real threat of explosion, my heart was torn and I actually trembled in fear for her. The marina owner has the type of personality that makes it very likely for him to eventually overcome this tradegy
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about. Haruki Murakami Hope rises like a phoenix from the ashes of shattered dreams. S.A.

Very sorry about the marina fire. My family has been fishing out of there for over 50 years. As to your binnacle rebuild... Please check with Edson/Yacht Specialties again about the orientation of your clamps. I was taught that the saddle goes on the 'dead side'. Also, your shift levers are very smooth. That's good. Be prepared for the throttle lever to 'creep' when you are underway. There may be a clamp in the cable, below deck between the engine and the underside of the binnacle, that retards movement. There might also be a screw IN the new binnacle at the lever shaft that will work. Stay safe.
Hi Edson says the saddle goes to the working part- seem pretty locked! I’m mainly happy to get the thimbles positioned correctly the first try:). Thanks for writing!!!
Sad about the fire at the marina 😢please keep the owner on a positive note and cheer him up when he’s feeling sad 😞.Good idea to have your sailboat prepared and ready to move if necessary.We are at the peak time for bad hurricanes 🌀 on the Gulf coast.Always enjoy your videos and you keep me smiling except when something bad happens 😟good of you to help your neighbors when they need you.Again thank you 🙏 for sharing you live with us all 😍😍
You too get the hell out of there. Robby says now. It's just a building. It can be rebuild. You're can't. 😢 . David doesn't talk too me. I'm going to have open heart surgery soon. I was born with a heart deformity. My heart has 2 valves . Normal people have 3. Don't forget love you'll. ❤
Yes, you are right. I changed to waterproof boots after I stepped on the glass an hurt my foot. And later on you can see me with Gill’s tall yachting boots. Thanks, Helena
Just thought the amount of charred contents remaining, as shown in the video, was a bit extreme for the situation, but I wasn’t there, nor was I the IC. I do find it very interesting that you as a chief, say to only remove debris that is smoking and only for that reason. Maybe resource back to your NFPA publications on "Fundamentals of Firefighting Tactics,” Rekindled fires show lack of thoroughness and follow-through on the job and can become extreme liabilities for a fire department. The goal of every fire officer should be zero rekindles, regardless of the type of fire. Be safe, Ret.: Battalion 57 Engine 235 206 Monroe Street Brooklyn, N.Y. 11216@@hb0292
I totally thought you was going to show about the storm. Not before the storm:-) good video though. But you should put your videos out in a more timely fashion. Starting to be a slacker in your old age.;-)
Maybe the owners don't care and you keep bringing it back????? They need to build new or forget it !! Just saying you tried and it sucks..................
I can watch all thit bothers me. You 2. remember There are angels. You should be wearin Respirators, all the burnt toxins. Many people look at me as happy. Go lucky, no. I am very trained in contamination. Radiation Asian toxins eccentric. I have cards from passing test to get these cars for better jobs at the power plant. I'm just trying to look over You. If you never. See me again. Don't forget my words.😢

Crazy episode! That lightning was close, glad y'all safe. Great job on the steering cables👍🇺🇸
Thanks. It seemed like storm was moving away. One before the strike was 12 count. And when we got hit it was 0. We always count during thunderstorms.
@@SailingLiberty Shit! A 0 count means directly overhead!!! So glad y'all didn't hit 🙏
Feel really bad for Dave and the Marina, hopefully he'll be able to re build. Stay safe👍🇺🇸❤️
You guys make me happy. What a great team you have.

Happy to see you posting again, even if the subject isn't the best. Been wondering where you are, what you're doing. Glad to see you're safe.
So glad you are both okay. What a frightening thing to happen. I hope the Marina gets back up and running again soon.

They cut hols in the roof to use like chimneys it helps let the smoke and heat out plus they can put water in
It was in there shop they should replace it on there insurance

You are an inspiration working so hard on those difficult jobs. It is all going to be worth it though and I can't wait to see what happens next.
I really like the two of you, great people you arrrrrr.
Best wishes to you and Dave as well.
Wow. That looked really scary. So glad you are both ok. Poor Dave - hope he manages to rebuild his business.
I am so glad no one got injured, lives can't be replaced however, buildings can.
Very sorry for Dave’s loss but that was a great episode.
You should have safety shoes, safety glasses, cut resistant gloves and respirator if required. Stay safe you two!!
So sad. Thanks for sharing this story. You all are some of my favorite people on this planet. Keep being amazing humans :)
Glad you guys were ok.😮❤🎉
Lovely to see you back on line, we missed you. Take care of yourselves and your friends. Aroha xx
Wow - - lightning, fire, hurricanes. Intense. Not to mention motivational. Glad you are all safe.
Fires at marinas are always bad - so many chemicals, fiberglass, and fuels. It was nice of you folks to stay and help clean up.
Life always throws us curves. What's important, is how you handle them. Good job.
"Cheers"
Nice new steering cable. Good work. Thanks 4 sharing. 🙂
You guys are crazy...! And we all love it, Blue skies - cheers.

You are such a lucky guy! Living the dream my fren!
You guys are pretty cool ✌
Fun video!! Thanks guys!!
WOW, sorry to see the fire and it’s loss for everyone, not just the owner!
IMHO, take good care of cuts and nail punctures in FL. Great climate for infections and tetanus. Sandals are not the best shoes to wear when cleaning up trash. I saw boots in later shots.
Were you able to test the compass heading when finishing the binnacle? Good demonstration on securing cable. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Thanks! I really think the cable marking technique is the way to go so glad you appreciated it! Thanks
Good wishes to your guy Dave.
That is crazy, glad you’re ok!
Great job.🎉
Great video, thank you for sharing
be strong my friends
interesting , Thank You . A fine example all that is good

Glad you guys are OK! Are you going to be able to stay at the Marina or are they going to make everyone pull out? Hope you can stay.
"Its really going well" ha ha ha ha👍
Love the music..
Guy's stay safe in rhe next storm, so sorry about the marina, but rebuild and stay positive 👍

As to your binnacle rebuild...
Please check with Edson/Yacht Specialties again about the orientation of your clamps.
I was taught that the saddle goes on the 'dead side'.
Also, your shift levers are very smooth. That's good. Be prepared for the throttle lever to 'creep'
when you are underway. There may be a clamp in the cable, below deck between the engine and the
underside of the binnacle, that retards movement. There might also be a screw IN the new binnacle
at the lever shaft that will work.

Hi
Edson says the saddle goes to the working part- seem pretty locked!
I’m mainly happy to get the thimbles positioned correctly the first try:). Thanks for writing!!!
@@SailingLiberty Yeah, the "saddle" is
the U bolt. Think about it...
Always good

Wow! That was scary.
Where is the marina located
G'day, what version is There's whiskey in the jar please?
You're the great couple of to watch Her accent where is she from

Hahahhahahahaha 😄🤣 That is true!

Yep, it was a slippery slope. Dry lightening is the worst.
@@SailingLiberty im glad everyone is safe. Things can be rebuild.
Sorry a have to said it,doing clean up after an explosion in sandals, safety first guys safety first.
Yes, you are right. I changed to waterproof boots after I stepped on the glass an hurt my foot. And later on you can see me with Gill’s tall yachting boots. Thanks, Helena
Where is the marina? Is there a gofundme?
They took down the gofundme when hurricane hit and people’s houses flooded. Thanks, Helena
@@SailingLiberty anything I or we can do to help?
At the moment we are all good, thanks:)
I know, you know. Just saying, red loctite once those clamp bolts are in the right place.
to die for
Oh shit !!
KAW KAW !!
Man what luck all I hope is that you 2 are ok and don't wear tinfoil underware
👍
No I herd it first in your joke and laughter first that you was going to be okay and rebuild.
♥️♥️👍👍
I'm confused how you guys became the one's doing the overhaul. Why didn't the fire department do this before leaving?
Really?
25 year chief officer here overhaul consists of looking for hot spots shoveling out what is still smoking not removing all debris

I totally thought you was going to show about the storm. Not before the storm:-) good video though. But you should put your videos out in a more timely fashion. Starting to be a slacker in your old age.;-)
Next one will be storm, we had to fix steering before hurricane because we were not able to move the boat to safety. Thanks, Helena:)
Do the hardest ( labor intensive) job first while you are at full strength. Then, when you are tired, the easiest work will be... Easier.
Holly land C1 headsets 250 each. Wow out of my budget!
