Some classic one liner’s…. 2018 seems a life time ago…. Use to swim past this boat in Lake Union when it was another animal… Teal put in some serious work… she’s a beauty now, what an adventure for the family…. Smooth seas and following winds 👍🙏💪🥂
I LOLed hard when Linh told Teal he would have to unclench at some point. I get Teal's obsession with near if not absolute perfection, but I also understand Linh's "relax" a little bit. It is only a boat after all.
Loved the dialogue while painting over the boot stripe….beyond jealous of that meal had at the taco shop….holy smokes the Delos basik tape war…warm hello to the other YT boats in the yard. More tacos! 🌮🤗🍻
4:20 Teal walking on thin ice - all the way to the doghouse... And now Teal is in trouble with the other cruisers in the yard, especially Ryan. That was a ridiculous tape ball, but his ball skills are looking good!
I love that you added my tape ball clips to your video! Without a doubt Floyd is more well kept than mine. I would bet that Big Fluffy has more footage of tape though. Love you guys.
Linh I 'm beginning to appreciate your sense of humor more and more with each episode. Needling Teal endlessly about his perfection- priceless. Teal it is not so good- to reciprocate against the chef just say'n. Those big sandwiches she has been making you- could turn into peanut butter & jelly next time around. Did I just hear-" Thickened Epoxy" mentioned? Those Tacos looked delicious. Emma- you're growing up so fast before our very eyes. Dad's brains & your mom's good looks too. Your narration and on camera persona has improved so much over the last year. Basik looks great with all the effort and hard work put in. Sort of a boat Botox face lift. The size of the Floyd tape ball will be epic once all the painting is finally finished. Where is my fur ball buddy Compass at? I miss him. Safe adventures ahead for the crew of S/V basik.
Well...Teal is having a ball working on Basik...LOL...Basik is looking absolutely ship shape...beautiful job! Linh, anyone who can cook, sew and do everything else you do can certainly tape and paint with the best of them... and Emma, you are more amazing every time I see you [I love your smile...a reflection of what's on the inside]... I swear I could smell [and almost taste] the tacos! mmm.... My favorite sailing family, get ready to be majorly blessed soon [very soon]... "til next time, see you then!"
Tape balls, I used to paint Circle K stores. Lots of stripes on buildings and gas canopies. Always made tape footballs, very satisfying. Till I tor a rotator cuff throwing a heavy one over the canopy one night. Thirty years later still feeling it, be careful with the tape ball obsession Teal.
Hi. Happy friday and welcome to my computer. I'm glad to see the stripe gone. Every time you've messed with it in the past I always thought that it was more trouble than it was worth. 🙂
Love the tape ball wars. Perhaps a new Olympic sport? Maybe more in the realm of a Tough Mudder. Whatever, there may need to be an intervention if this gets too out of control.
Spent last w/e helping a friend with the annual antifoul and 'Tape Balls Rule' - so satisfying at the end of the water blasting - sanding (sanding) sanding - taping - painting, painting and finally its tape remoaval time :-))) Well done, Basik looks amazing.
My sides hurt !! OMG !! Living with someone with OCD is painful yet funny ! The boat looks amazing ! You all done an amazing job And that tape ball !! that was awesome ! Keep up the good work you guys !
Great vlog, the oddly satisfying ball of tape is hysterical. Laughed so hard when Linh said "thickened epoxy" in the restaurant, well done Linh. By the way boat looks great. Battle of the tape ball is on 😃 Thank you for sharing
Love that "Teal as Atlas" reference on the thumbnail. That's one lovely, solid ball of tape. As someone who appreciates excellence, I always love watching the tape peels and such - that clean, nearly perfect waterline! Gorgeous! Thank you all for continuing to share. Fair winds!
Obviously, the two of you are perfectionists so Linh, don't let Teal get to you and Teal, every project you or the three of you do together shows how much you care about yourselves, your vessel and your home! Friendly competition does keep things spicy however LOL
699th subscriber LIKE; the 2.3K+ desktop shipmate view will have to happen a bit later today. "Stay tuned... to be continued..." Well - it's later, and I'm back with a PB&J sandwich, while y'aller scarfing down some tasty-looking taco plates. Life isn't always fair. :0) Where exactly is Isle Of Tacos?
The thought for the day: Lets hope the tape ball does not morph into a "Wilson" ball. And will we see Teal re doing the tape lines again because of the Hump Lihn pointed out haha.
It took me about a month, but I've viewed all 238 episodes, after getting hooked with the hurricane near miss. P.S. I liked it with the original wide boot stripe better, but she looks good.
Glad it turned out to be a nice day for painting the boat. Enjoyed seeing everyone. The Tacos looked delicious! Emma, you have a beautiful smile! Your ear rings are really pretty.
A tip for a better solution if you still want bootstripe. Once you have found the right height for your antifouling you put your bootstripe with same distance as its width between the antifouling and where it starts. So your antifouling ends, then you have 4 inches of white gelcoat before it starts
Basik is looking great. Love the clips with the SV Delos crew. I love following both of you. It's fantastic having both of you in the same area at the same time.😀😀
7:39 Quote of the day.... "Thickened Epoxy". Ha ha. Linh your tape line was better than Teals..... However the tape ball is awesome. Let the man have his balls. Basik looks great. Get rid of that trim. It did not add much.
Almost 5 years I’ve been watching you guys ,great job at keeping me entertained , can’t believe it’s passed so quick , at this rate we will lose Emma to university soon .
Don't go to university, unless want to be a doctor or something like that. Otherwise lots of debt and come out a brainwashed in woke activist nonsense.
I've made a ball out of tape about the size of a baseball and decided to see how tough it was by throwing it against a concrete wall several times. It didn't last all that long. I should have kept it.
Teal, you are continually on thin ice! You need to get up to speed. If Emma gets on board with the maintenance, you are TOAST! OH S***t she's there. Teal, it's over! This is a NEW Emma. Linh is so funny! Nah, Delos loses. Teal has the real tape ball; it's hard, man!
Guys.... when you put the tape on stretch it over the longest distance possible before holding it to surface, then when removing pull the tape hard back on itself to cut paint off straight instead of lifting paint.
Remember,,, real painters wear white!!! Team effort, good job! See you guys do believe in the Coast Guard way of thinking,, If it moves, you grease it, if it don't, you paint it... PS, watch the movie, 'War Game's'.. yeah it's old and kinda outdated, but still has THE BEST ONE LINE, of any movie. At the end, when talking about the game of, tic-tac-toe... Enjoy ... Thanks for the entertainment..
We all know very well that an imperfection in the tape would break Teal and drive him to a condition of insanity the world simply should not see. Play it safe let Teal be Teal. I have a ball of Baby Bell cheese wax that is about 4 inches wide, I am quite proud of it and I know it will grow.
Thickened Epoxy!!! At the resturant was the best...
We are still laughing😂😂well said Linh👍
And that's how the great tape ball war of 2023 began! 😂🤣
Some classic one liner’s…. 2018 seems a life time ago…. Use to swim past this boat in Lake Union when it was another animal… Teal put in some serious work… she’s a beauty now, what an adventure for the family…. Smooth seas and following winds 👍🙏💪🥂
Looks brand new.
I LOLed hard when Linh told Teal he would have to unclench at some point. I get Teal's obsession with near if not absolute perfection, but I also understand Linh's "relax" a little bit. It is only a boat after all.
Loved the dialogue while painting over the boot stripe….beyond jealous of that meal had at the taco shop….holy smokes the Delos basik tape war…warm hello to the other YT boats in the yard. More tacos! 🌮🤗🍻
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the appreciation!
Battle of the Tape Balls! Great episode guys. Fair winds and following seas Basik.
Tape ball, wine bottles what say you Emma you get a vote.❤
4:20 Teal walking on thin ice - all the way to the doghouse... And now Teal is in trouble with the other cruisers in the yard, especially Ryan. That was a ridiculous tape ball, but his ball skills are looking good!
a tape ball shot across the bow
I love that you added my tape ball clips to your video! Without a doubt Floyd is more well kept than mine. I would bet that Big Fluffy has more footage of tape though. Love you guys.

True labor of love yet care deeply in details. No story is more powerful then your real life journey....
Teal, please tell Linh how important a straight waterline is. If that line is not smoth the ride will be bumpy and it will affect your speed.
My fav sailing family who can even make watching paint dry interesting.
It never dries. They just add another coat.
lol, I'm waiting for someone such as I to ask " How much for the ball of used painters tape? Send it to me for storage purposes!" lol.
Well...Teal is having a ball working on Basik...LOL...Basik is looking absolutely ship shape...beautiful job!
Linh, anyone who can cook, sew and do everything else you do can certainly tape and paint with the best of them...
and Emma, you are more amazing every time I see you [I love your smile...a reflection of what's on the inside]...
I swear I could smell [and almost taste] the tacos! mmm....
My favorite sailing family, get ready to be majorly blessed soon [very soon]...
"til next time, see you then!"
You are right! Linh's tape line was spot on!
Never seen Teal so happy to drop the ball
If you ever decide you want the boot stripe back, see if you can find the same bottom paint in a different color and just make it out of bottom paint.
That is a very impressive tape ball
We see ya"ll are having a ball down south keep us in the loop!!!
It's really cool to see cross posting from Delos to Basik and Basik to Delos. Cost effective fast internet on the seas is a game changer.
The ball of tape! Us men never grow up when we have a happy life!
this is one of the best Cats on the RUclips and one of the best families and i only wish Linh would do a cooking channel !!!
Tape balls, I used to paint Circle K stores. Lots of stripes on buildings and gas canopies. Always made tape footballs, very satisfying. Till I tor a rotator cuff throwing a heavy one over the canopy one night. Thirty years later still feeling it, be careful with the tape ball obsession Teal.
Thickened Epoxy? Are you kidding, Linh?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking that someone should calculate the density of each of those tape balls, but Teal has probably already done that.
Only a wife can tell you to unclinch with a laugh. You are a legend Lihn.
I think it's easy to confuse "meticulous" with "OCD." I'm wondering where the great Tape-ball Museum will be located...
Tape ball density🤣
I love it! Btw the boat looks beautiful with the up grade! Cheers!
Change the undercoat to light blue, for Mary; have it blessed, then your boat is protected.
Hi. Happy friday and welcome to my computer. I'm glad to see the stripe gone. Every time you've messed with it in the past I always thought that it was more trouble than it was worth. 🙂
i have to give it to Teal. His tape ball is much more dense than Brian's. Hey, Brian might have also incorporated some fluff inside his LOL 🤣😉
Love the tape ball wars. Perhaps a new Olympic sport? Maybe more in the realm of a Tough Mudder. Whatever, there may need to be an intervention if this gets too out of control.
Spent last w/e helping a friend with the annual antifoul and 'Tape Balls Rule' - so satisfying at the end of the water blasting - sanding (sanding) sanding - taping - painting, painting and finally its tape remoaval time :-))) Well done, Basik looks amazing.
That recap at the start was perfect. Emma's so funny! Watched paint dry and dad ate a sandwich. :) Glad to see a project off the list. Congrats!
Woohoo how can you get this tape job so straight. Fabulous. Indeed. Heheee.
And of course now we have a competition for who has the biggest balls! Anybody remembers the “Schweddy Balls” skit on Saturday Night Live? 🤣😂
My sides hurt !! OMG !!
Living with someone with OCD is painful yet funny ! The boat looks amazing ! You all done an amazing job
And that tape ball !! that was awesome !
Keep up the good work you guys !
13:59 I thought i saw a J Class behind you for a second. 🤣
I am seeing J Class everywhere! Maybe my brain is telling me something.
Great vlog, the oddly satisfying ball of tape is hysterical. Laughed so hard when Linh said "thickened epoxy" in the restaurant, well done Linh. By the way boat looks great.
Battle of the tape ball is on 😃
Thank you for sharing
Nice little paintball war you guys have going on:)
Love that "Teal as Atlas" reference on the thumbnail. That's one lovely, solid ball of tape. As someone who appreciates excellence, I always love watching the tape peels and such - that clean, nearly perfect waterline! Gorgeous! Thank you all for continuing to share. Fair winds!
Thanks for noticing the "Atlas" reference.
Obviously, the two of you are perfectionists so Linh, don't let Teal get to you and Teal, every project you or the three of you do together shows how much you care about yourselves, your vessel and your home! Friendly competition does keep things spicy however LOL
“VIRAL” forget the “Mic drop”
It’s the tape ball drop!!
Whoop whoop 🎉
Best last episode synopsis I've heard.
699th subscriber LIKE; the 2.3K+ desktop shipmate view will have to happen a bit later today. "Stay tuned... to be continued..."
Well - it's later, and I'm back with a PB&J sandwich, while y'aller scarfing down some tasty-looking taco plates. Life isn't always fair. :0)
Where exactly is Isle Of Tacos?
In ruff seas Teals side will look straight
Haha, Teal’s OCD coming through hoarding even the simpler jobs.
Thickened epoxy!
The thought for the day: Lets hope the tape ball does not morph into a "Wilson" ball. And will we see Teal re doing the tape lines again because of the Hump Lihn pointed out haha.
Knowing Teal's personality, it could happen!
The end of the video cracked me up....Lodi, California
nice work in paradise!!
It took me about a month, but I've viewed all 238 episodes, after getting hooked with the hurricane near miss. P.S. I liked it with the original wide boot stripe better, but she looks good.
###You could play softball with your tape ball... LOL!!!!!
Line,I think you’re tape line was straighter than Teals 😂
Hey Hey,, Beat That!! Another great show. Thanks 4 sharing 🙂
Perhaps a Lazer would help you get a straight water line.
You should have a soccer match with the tape balls !
Glad it turned out to be a nice day for painting the boat. Enjoyed seeing everyone. The Tacos looked delicious! Emma, you have a beautiful smile! Your ear rings are really pretty.

Your tape ball is amazing. Pure artwork. Love it, so groovy. LOL!
oh long time no see im so much glad to see all of you are fine
Linh continues to rip some zingers! The Skipper knows.... Nice work crew! Thickened Epoxy is on order.
Oh, oh, I sense a competition happening w/ Ryan. OK, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice paint work, guys ‼️ 👍 ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝 👙 🌞 ✨
safe travels
Teal, as an avid fan & long time viewer, I gotta state the obvious, : Your ball is getting bigger, And its BLUE!!!.
Basik is looking great. Love the clips with the SV Delos crew. I love following both of you. It's fantastic having both of you in the same area at the same time.😀😀
His "ball of tape " is healthier than "thicken epoxy"....!!!
7:39 Quote of the day.... "Thickened Epoxy". Ha ha. Linh your tape line was better than Teals..... However the tape ball is awesome. Let the man have his balls. Basik looks great. Get rid of that trim. It did not add much.
Yes! I thought so too! Lol, the tape ball makes him happy so I guess it stays....😊
If I carried on the way Teal does I would have become shark bait a long time ago! Lihn is a master of tolerance.
Almost 5 years I’ve been watching you guys ,great job at keeping me entertained , can’t believe it’s passed so quick , at this rate we will lose Emma to university soon .
Don't go to university, unless want to be a doctor or something like that. Otherwise lots of debt and come out a brainwashed in woke activist nonsense.
Damn waited all morning for first. Lets get that refit done
I've made a ball out of tape about the size of a baseball and decided to see how tough it was by throwing it against a concrete wall several times. It didn't last all that long. I should have kept it.
Definitely the superior tape ball for sure!
Teal, If you make three separate balls from the tape then you can practice juggling.
For a minute, I thought I was watching Adam Savage roll aluminum foil into a ball again.
I'd never get bootstripe line strainght so my cure would be put a pattern in looking like little braking waves make stencil and keep going around
I guess that SV Basik is one of the best maintained catamaran in the western hemisphere, or at least the first runner up!......
Thanks Raul! We work hard to keep her in tip top shape!
👍👍👍
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Teal, you are continually on thin ice! You need to get up to speed. If Emma gets on board with the maintenance, you are TOAST! OH S***t she's there. Teal, it's over! This is a NEW Emma. Linh is so funny! Nah, Delos loses. Teal has the real tape ball; it's hard, man!
Thin-ice in Mexico!!?? At what elevation are you? ☺ Careful, Neal, you could slip on that slick gravel.
Guys.... when you put the tape on stretch it over the longest distance possible before holding it to surface, then when removing pull the tape hard back on itself to cut paint off straight instead of lifting paint.
I'm unsure why you don't use 3M Fine Line tape. Solvent-proof, crisper line, zero bleed. Cheaper at autobody supply than at marine stores.
We love it❤
Guys and their tape ball preoccupation.
Remember,,, real painters wear white!!!
Team effort, good job!
See you guys do believe in the Coast Guard way of thinking,,
If it moves, you grease it, if it don't, you paint it...
PS, watch the movie,
'War Game's'.. yeah it's old and kinda outdated, but still has THE BEST ONE LINE, of any movie. At the end, when talking about the game of, tic-tac-toe...
Enjoy ...
Thanks for the entertainment..
Boy's and their Toy's they just get Bigger!!! "Tape Ball world Tours"!!!!!!!!
We all know very well that an imperfection in the tape would break Teal and drive him to a condition of insanity the world simply should not see. Play it safe let Teal be Teal.
I have a ball of Baby Bell cheese wax that is about 4 inches wide, I am quite proud of it and I know it will grow.
Lol love the ball segment
Ok, its on! Tape ball wars. LOL
Boys and their (tape) balls...Teal should show the others he might have stored.
And that's how the tape ball war started.
I know what that ball needs Teal....a coat of Thickened Epoxsy!!!!
Basík tape ball vs Delos tape ball: Teal’s tape ball is neat and orderly like the cat. Delo’s tape ball on the other hand if it was compressed….
Let the ballwars begins /lol
you got FLOYD
were's PINK ?
awesome video as usual
{:-) PAV UK
Boys, Boys. We suspect that both of you have small tape balls. Great episode. Harder and harder to tell Mom from Dtr.
Have you ever thought about cooper coat?
