  • and no, it's not tacos ;)
    Our first fish caught underway! We stop in Newport Beach and then Dana Point before Rediviva's bow points to San Diego. Our last leg in California brings us just miles from the Mexican boarder and we catch our first glimpse of some Mexican islands.
    Thanks for watching!
    p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I can but we are still so so busy so please do not take it personally 💕
    Much love!!!

    After watching the build throughout the process, I was lucky enough to catch Rediviva bobbing in the Newport Beach anchorage. She's absolutely gorgeous on video and even better in person! Great job, guys!
    Somehow, RUclips unsubscribed me, though. Bad, RUclips. Bad.

    Garrett and Ruth,
    Absolutely the first fish that I have seen on y'all's channel that didn't end up in a taco.
    Thank y'all for sharing.
    Cheers!
    Blue Skies and Fair Winds.
    Faithfully,
    James

    Did you know that as a spirit animal, the grasshopper is associated with good luck and achieving what you want most? So, when it shows up, he (or she) could be reaffirming to you that you are taking the right steps moving forward. As a big fan, and fellow gaffer, I thought you'd want to know.

    Fish is always better when you don't freeze it. Of course we freeze them when they need to be stored for a long time, but if you're going to consume them anytime soon, they're better if you just refrigerate them and not freeze them.

    So sick to see you arrive at my hometown (619). Where I learned to sail when I was 5 in the late 70"s and where I continued to surf till I left for the PNW. I am a Salish Sea Monster now but sure nice to lay eyes so close to Mexico. Congrats and may San Diego welcome you with open arms of hospitality. BTW..hope you are in Mexico by now.

    I've only installed a couple of self-steering windvanes, but I've seen a pic of a couple of old-timers hanging an umbrella under the installation in order to catch anything they might accidentally drop, so that it doesn't go to the bottom of the slip. Seems like an interesting option...

  • @russbentley7677
    @russbentley7677 2 года назад

    7 years hard labour... quite a sentence to impose on oneself. All that work and all that anticipation and hope and longing. The consequent sense of freedom and release must be intense. I imagine everyday untethered must have a big sense of celebration in it. Well earned and much deserved.
    And we get to come too... clever girl. You are both so credible in your frank what is, and your genuine spontanaity. you look and sound unscripted and spontaneous.
    Best of all maybe is the thing itself, your vessel, and the HOW of it. What it means to yourselves and your viewers to get the IT of it in how it was made and WHY it was made that way... which you said as a sort of running credo several times throughout the build. A unique, empiricle manifestation of a working man's version of what he believes and how it ought to be made real. AND, One he and his partner can live on and IN.
    Before a lot of time passes and it all gets assumed, I think it's worth saying because it's a rare and uncommon thing to witness someones philosophy taking shape live on camera up close and very personal for all to see and enjoy.

I have so enjoyed watching your progress. I am so proud of you. You are easy going and very supportive. If I had a daughter, I would want her to be just like you. You are a total package.

    @bobcornwell403 2 года назад

    One of the advantages of having two masts is that it's easier to get the boat to self-steer downwind.
    A vane is always nice. But some boats absolutely must have one to self-steer downwind.
    It is interesting to note that at least two Golden Globe racers quit because their vane steering broke down.
    Their boats were close to REDAVIVA in proportion and keel type, but had Bermuda mains and were sloop or cutter rigged.

    You both have done it. Built your dreams 1 year after another. Now you are on your own schedule. If you haven't thought about this ( day cruises on a real sailboat). You can get 4-6 people 1-2 times a week and charge what you feel is right. There are nobody else who has a boat like you hardly left. I would give $200 for a 8 hour sail on your boat. Even a deal like 2 adults and 2 kids for $300 or something that works for you. Or do a whole week of day sailing in an area then have extra money to move on. I just feel you have a knack for this.

    Have you considered a "Free Hand" self steering? Mike Anderson builds them and he's pretty close to where you are - may be worth a look while youre waiting on delivery. We have one, but haven't mounted it yet - prev owner bought it and sold the boat before he got it mounted all the way. We'll get that done (on the list) - but it is a pretty cool way to steer a boat - different than most set ups.

    the apporach of ruth's monologue after that lesson sums it up greatly! There is on the one hand physics to understand - and on the other hand simply age ... eons old experience to absorb.
    For me this is one more aspect that I didn't think you'd bring that keeps me watching after you left the building phase!!!!!

    Do take a look at John Fleming's Hebridean servo pendulum vane. He is in Inverness Scotland. His inexpensive kit uses wood and stainless but it has now been to Oz and around Iceland etc. It has a special geometry allowing a truly horizontal pivot (giving more steering correction power in all conditions). He has sent a number to the US.
