Hey, my name is Nike and I bought an aluminum 37 foot sailboat in Panama in 2013 that I named KARL. I spent a good year refitting it, mostly by myself and with the help of awesome friends, and then (mostly) solo sailed my sailboat around the western Caribbean.
In 2016, I crossed the Panama Canal, had a major engine break down, a near sinking experience and a serious foot injury which got me stuck along the Pacific coast of Central and South America.
In this Episode, we prep the hull of my Reinke Super 10 to renew my bottom paint. The current covid19 situation makes it tricky to go into a marina, so I take advantage of my twin keels and a strong moon tide to let my boat dry fall to get the bottom job done.
First we scrape off Karl’s massive beard and then we grind away all the left over barnacle feet with 80 grit grinding discs.
Since we only have a very limited time window to paint a layer of epoxy primer and antifouling between the tides and rain showers, I do a little trial run to see whether the pint holds up with 7 hours of curing instead of 12.
This procedure is NOT recommended by Total Boat, so don’t try this at home!!!
Enjoy and Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

Been watching you for years now and still can’t get over your work ethic, perseverance, positive attitude and mechanical abilities. It’s high time I start donating to help keep you afloat.
I'm a auto painter and for us dry/cure time is based on temperature, air flow and humidity. Temperature being the biggest factor. These for me are based on 20c 50% humidity. The humidity is not helping you, but if it's 30c and windy you could push your coating times considerably. I would recommend not letting coatings "flash off" in direct sunlight because it may cause the outer layer to cure and skim over before the deeper solvents have a chance to evaporate causing incomplete curing of the coating under the "skin" and potential delamination.
As far as i know Nike uses 2K Epoxy coating, that means 2 components react chemically and there is no need of evaporating solvente. The temperature ist the most ifluencing factor to the curing Time.
Incredible work under those conditions. In comparison, those guys at marinas have it easy. I tip my cap 🧢 to you and your helpers. What an awesome feeling to have great friends to help out. You, my dear, are one tough woman! Kudos!
Wonderful video. You deserve our respect for your tireless work ethic, positive attitude, and cheerful demeanor. I’m old and married but if I was 40 years younger I’d propose. ❤️❤️
Great editing and camera work keep the videos coming, we can't travel anymore so we are doing it vicariously through your videos, Thank-you!
Great video I’m tired just watching all the work. Glad to see an alternative to copper based paints. I remember my dad repainting the bottom of our 26’ cabin cruiser in the late 50’s he used copper based paint. Stay safe and I can’t wait for the finished paint project. Fred in Texas
Tristin Jones: Sailed against the Humboldt Current, South down the Pacific Coast of South America in a tiny twin keel sailboat to Chilie. He had to tack the entire way. It took month and months to do so. Then he loaded his boat on a flat bed truck to the highest altitude navigable lake in the world to sail Lake Titicaca then hacked his way through the jungle down stream to come out the Southern tip of the massive Continent to Argentina then proceeded to sail back to England. I can't recall if that segment of his adventure was successful but I can tell you this tiny twin keeled sailboat still exists. A common complaint about twin keel sailboat boats is they are slower. No single keel sailboat has come close to the records set by Tristin Jones and his tiny twin keel wooden boat.
Marinas have water blasters, and tools to make this job significantly easier. They, more importantly, have drainage that does not discharge directly to the sea so that the anti foul does not pollute the ocean/environment. Marinas make the job easier so that a regular scheduled anti-foul keeps the hull clean so that significantly less fuel is used. It is one thing to love your surroundings/environment, it is another to respect it and cherish it for future generations. Yes, I'm a grumpy old sailor but after 50 years on the water, I have seen the decline of our beautiful environment and worry a lot that we have compromised those that follow us. Being a huge fan of twin-keels myself I regularly pull over (dry out) and give my boat a quick scrape and anti foul, without sanding. Means I haul out every second year and sand and grind then. Saves money and keeps hull efficiency at near max all the time, also saving money, and a better consideration of the environment. The only extra is my own labour by jumping out and scraping more often, which, strangely, I enjoy, but then , New Zealand is a place to be enjoyed....respectfully.
That was exactly what I was thinking while watching the video. Thank you for commenting!
Well for someone who named her channel with pirates in it.. I don't think any of those is her concern.
Very well written. I am always amused by these young people that profess to love the ocean but they don't respect it. By reading the comments it is painfully obvious how many morons there are. I saw another young lady sailor scraping and spray painting her gas bottle while moored in harbor. All the paint chips and over spray from the paint going guess where? This is why you see the decline in the marine environment, but young people dismiss their own behavior and blame it on climate change. Makes you shake your head in I will use the word dismay.
@@l-l-l-l-l-l-l - That makes it okay? Are you an idiot? Say yes.
Living on nothing is not so green after all. WSP gaffed here.
But you know that all that ocean plastic? It is predominantly properly disposed of by predominantly right thinking people using recycling practices...... Yet still ends up in the ocean.
I wonder what happens to the marina facilities' drainage used by responsible sailors?
But yes. We should each still keep trying to do our bit and hope that it is allowed to have an effect.
You are so blessed to have such good friends to help get all that work done!!!
So true. I used to work in a boat yard and fully realize how big that job is, and we didn't have to lay in wet sand! Although, actually, I think I would prefer that to the filthy asphalt we laid on. Her friends are the best!
Ok I’m hooked! I can’t resist a sailor maintaining their boat. Just subscribed. When’s the next one?
Great job. I love the the boats that you can beach. Never got to take one sailing but I love the concept
Get out there and do it
Hallo Nike und Karl, ich schau "eure" Videos nun eine ganze weile. Habe Untie the Lines von Anfang an mit sehr viel Respekt, Verwunderung, Bewunderung und mit sehr sehr sehr sehr viel Hochachtung durchgeschaut. Dein Ehrgeiz ist meiner Meinung nach unübertroffen. Ich bewundere dich sehr dafür natürlich auch um deine Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse die du machst und noch machen wirst. Das ist erste mal das ich dir schreibe und halte mich normalerweise auch mit sowas immer zurück, aber ich komme einfach nicht drum herum dir mal zu sagen bzw. zu schreiben was für ein toller Mensch du bist. Falls du mal in Deutschland bzw. in der nähe von Bonn bist und Hilfe brauchst, in welcher form auch immer, kannst du jederzeit mit mir Rechnen. Ich wünsche dir für deine weitere Zukunft alles gute, viel Gesundheit und das alles so läuft wie du es dir vorstellst, halt alles was man für ein schönes Leben so braucht. Mach weiter so, DU BIST DIE BESTE.
Viele Grüße Ralf S.
Danke für deinen lieben Kommentar, Ralf. Im Moment sieht es nicht so als als würde ich so schnell nach Deutschland zurück kommen. Ist ja doch alles etwas drunter und drüber im Moment 🙈.dir auch alles gute und schöne Grüße an den Rhein!
@5:55; Ba ha ha ha! “Glow plugs!!!” You are indeed a true engineer/sailor, when fireflies get called “Glow plugs” (That’s simply gorgeous!) ;-)
one of those “old school” videos by wsp:) Brings back memories when I started to follow you. Love it!
Mix in cyan pepper with your bottom paint .Don`t laugh because barnicles dont like hot stuff. Ive seen it long ago in an article. . It works. Good luck.
Yeah I have heard that , too. Never tried it, though. Have u?
Loved the Alaska insulated can holder or whatever it's called. Scraping the bottom is the worst. Nice to see you maintained a good attitude.
Cheers from Juneau Alaska,
Greg Chaney
Little souvenir from my visit last summer ☺️
Wouldn't it be a brilliant idea for you and Sheddy to team up. Both of you are the most inspiring RUclipsrs and the combination would be mind-blowing.
Just binge watched one of your series. Truly inspirational. I have booked on a sailing course and hope to follow in your example. Bon vent.
Oh that sounds nice, have fun with that course!
Wow, that was a lot of fouling on the bottom! You did an impressive job cleaning it off! It makes me wonder what the bottom of the one of my boats will be like when I haul it. It has been in the water now for four years and is do for some love! Thanks for the video!
The last antifouling was two years ago but what’s more impressive is that I last scraped the hull a month before I beached it. So u see that it really does make a difference to have or not to have antifouling paint 🙈 four years will probably have produced some impressive underwater reef 😂
@@WhiteSpotPirates That is what I am afraid of! On the plus side, it is the "free" boat, and everything about it is sort of an experiment. I try different things on her. The "free" will probably end up costing me more than the other two combined!
Thanks for your quick reply, and good luck with the work on the bottom!
Great video, you are a very resourceful sailor!
after all the unbelievable work youve put in Karl its so great to see your ankle so completely healed and your enjoying life to the fullest
Yeah unfortunately the foot is only back to 70% but I can surely get around. Each morning it’s a battle to get the foot going but once it’s going it’s doing alright but surely not back to normal and still dealing with pain but all below a level that I have to take pain killers which is great.
The foot surely was a little grumpy after this marathon and punished me a bit. But it was great to see that I am able to power through a project like this with it. 👍
@@WhiteSpotPirates yes ok 70% is pretty good for the time period. i broke my hip racing against my young nephew years ago and had it replaced and after a year or so i couldnt even tell it was done, now i jog, ,play tennis n golf, bike and sail. so it just takes time for the body to adjust to the new screws pins etc
I'm intrigued to know how this holds up! The time difference between time difference between initial cute and full cute is quite significant, and moisture has an affect during that time. Damn good effort though!
Thanks for posting and sharing your work on Karl while he is sitting on his keels. Nice to see!
What did you guys do with all the waste/scrap and used chemicals?
It is all non toxic and degrades naturally
Used it to kill the nearby coral reefs
How ingenious! Glad you can get everything done there! Awesome!
Never known anyone who enjoys a perfectly timed after-work beer than Nike. She really needs to find a beer sponsor.
the Westerly is a British twin keel boat. The keel bolts can leak. Be careful not to beach on a super high tide or you will have to wait until another super high tide to float it off the beach.
Good morning Karl's a lucky boat!
Sometimes 😂
Nice to see you and Karl back!!!!!!!!
Man, I'd have taken out a spot light just to see what sort of critters are walking about at night, crunching around my boat...😳😲
Great video, its nice to have the hard part of the job done. Quick question, what is the purpose of coating a steel hull with epoxy? I thought it was only used on fiberglass hulls to prevent bubbling/pitting.
My boat is aluminum. First u put on an etch primer on the bare metal to make sure the paint sticks well. Then it’s followed usually by 5 (or more) layers of epoxy primer before the antifouling goes on. It keeps the metal protected from electrical currents (from the outside, not ur own internal mess ups obviously 😂) or galvanic corrosion when sitting next to a steel boat or dock. Also, u need something between the metal and the antifouling because the antifouling won’t grab onto the bare aluminum, ad far as I understand. On a steel boat u would want the primer to prevent rusting, I would say. But I am not a pro on this...🙈 but this would be my personal explanation.
Coffee, willpower, and some beer... great job 😊👍
I was scraping the bottom of my boat the other day, I am only half done on it, it wasn't too bad. I can tell you that consistent attention on your bottom can help a lot.
I always try to do the worst or most difficult spot first.
Cheers! :) :)
I enjoy being in the water so it's almost fun. Lol. Almost.
Great video Niki,your a prize...Karl looks quite comfortable getting his belly scratched :-)...take care and stay safe!
You have a very rewarding life style.
It has a high cost.
The scraping and grinding ocean life off of a sailboat hull looked like loads of fun!! Ha ha
I am kidding. It doesn’t look all that hard!
If you do this again in two years, I will come help for a week. I don't even care if we don't get a chance to go sailing. I used to work in a boatyard and I grew up on a farm, so I know about hard hot work, and mosquitos. LOL. One thing that I would recommend is to use a floor scraper for the initial scraping. It goes a lot faster. I will go fishing when the tide is up, and we can't work. Hopefully we would have some fish to grill the next day. I can taste that shark now!
Nice to have such helpful friends, Brilliant
Good work with a loyal team, pity about the moquitos though. regards Paul E.
Just discovered your channel. This is my first video and instantly in love 😍
Problem is, so few bilge keel boats are built. I don’t think the prejudice against them is warranted, after all, how many cruising yachts “race” or really need to extract the last knot of speed.
Nothing like hearing sounds in the jungle at nighttime and finding a jaguar looking at you. Be careful 👍
Interesting. Thanks for sharing 😀👍
Yep, that bottom work is no joke. You may consider bringing some keel blocks next time. Love the boat, the crew seems a little dodgy though. I like that..;)
😂 what? Dodgy? 😂 yeah some blocks would have been nice, thought about it too late and then there was no more time to hunt some down.
@@WhiteSpotPirates We learn as we go. I do it too...
The RUclips video I was watching before this was of a DaVinci painting selling for $400m. I saw this and think your life is so much richer.
It’s all about preferences and priorities ☺️ very different for each person for sure...
@@WhiteSpotPirates Well, you need to know, your videos have helped keep this middle aged man sane this last year. Thank you.
Whoop whoop , only a week wait for this video , seems you have got the editing waxed already and are churning them out by yourself .Some people are just natural over achievers.... thanks for making us mere mortals more awe struck on how you do it all .
😂😂 the one before this one went really fast so I got a bit over ambitious 😂. But we had a bunch of rainy days lately so I took advantage of that to get some editing in. Honestly, I have no idea how this is gonna work if I actually sail around again, but let’s worry about that when it happens 😂.
It’s surely time consuming and I have to make sure I structure and organize myself a bit better than before...also I don’t want to be overly stressed by it which is why I won’t promise weekly production anymore...if I can make it happen then that’s great, if not, then not.
But right now it’s going well, I just finished the raw cut of the next one, so next Friday is most likely safe as well 🤞🏼😎
WhiteSpotPirates Glad to hear part 3 is coming out soon . I will cope with my withdrawal symptoms if you only put out one a month .The day you don’t enjoy doing the videos ,is the day to stop. Just know they are inspirational and appreciated.... ok enough singing praise , get back to work on the next one Now! 😂😂
hey neike hope your good , love the videos ive watched all of them , have you ever thought about doing a sailing related ASMR video, just for a laugh , im sure im not the only one out here thinking this , you ve got the right voice for it, take it easy, all the best
It's 30 degrees here to and the snow is flying. Weird.
That's what I love about twin keels!
It is a shame you could not use a tarp to collect paint dust....but difficult to get the job done under those challenging conditions and difficult circumstances, Karl certainly needed it, hope the new paint sticks, great to see all the help, cheers
Yes, I see ur point with the tarp. It’s not that we did not discuss environmental effects of this project and different possibilities on what to do about it.
Frankly, most of the dust flies away immediately and would not be captured by a tarp...if u did capture sth with a tarp, then how do u proceed with the tarp and the dust? Store it forever? Burn both of them together (might be a bigger pollution all together in my eyes), keep it until u reach land and dispose of it? Which means out of sight out of mind? panama works with landfills, so the disposed tarp and dust eventually would release their poison into the ground water as well. Use a reusable tarp not made of plastic (which I don’t have but maybe maybe could have Organized it somehow) is another possibility, but how and where do u then get rid of the dust?
I am happy for suggestions on this topic so next time we can improve this. Because frankly, the situation when u haul out in a marina is exactly the same so it would be good to improve the procedure for the next time.
To me, it’s important to look at the effect as a whole and to see where all of it ends up. A tarp looks good at first glance but in our eyes it was a bigger pollutant than help in this case.
A grinder with a vacuum attached somehow, maybe that would help. Not sure if it exists for grinders, only seen it for sanders so far. But will do a google search...
But yes, it’s a tricky topic and I am aware that a bottom job in general is not good for the environment. We do try to give back to nature, though, and have cleaned many beaches and recycle a lot of “wild plastic”. It’s not an excuse but at least a little payback for this yearly pollution (well, I actually did not do my hull in two years, so I saved one year of pollution 🙈).
@@WhiteSpotPirates I totally understand your dilemma, didn't mean to sound too critical. I believe you are aware and just as concerned about micro plastics and pollution and were faced with the raw reality of the circumstances and limited options. To answer/respond to a few of your points....
As for dust control there are several angle grinders which have dust collection measures Makita, Bosch, most are for concrete grinding and don't really fully achieve what you might say is acceptable performance in this application. Festool PI571810 Rotex 6 in. Multi-Mode Sander with mesh weave sanding pads paired with a substantial cyclone dust trap and hepa filler vacuume is the best option I know of, but not at all readily available, affordable or realistic in this situation. As for tarps I would choose a large reuseable option and vacuume any collected dust up, but again, unless you hang substantial drop curtains to prevent/limit airbourne dispersal it would be difficult to achieve effective results.
As to the waste, the best way I know of disposing of collected toxic dust/fine particles is to consolidate them somehow....incoproporate them in old paint, resin, concrete blocks for reuse or landfill (arguably better than burning)......this does not eliminate the toxicity, but goes someway to lock up the particles from freely effecting the environment.
I guess best practices for removing bottom paint would be to wet abrasive blast or dry ice blast the bottom, but this requires haul out, controlled environment, and significant and dedicated infrastructure and mechanisms to collect the material (probably not available anywhere near where you are and most likely impossible to organise in these difficult times).
I think you live an amazing life, face so many challenges and applaud most of your efforts to minimise environmental impact, guess its just one of those dilemmas where forced compromises leave a slightly bitter aftertaste. (I certainly could do better, try harder to minimise environmental impact in my life, so am not condeming you)
@@bunyipdan thanks for all the great advise, I will look into some of the tools u mentioned and see what improvement I can make happen for next year. 👍
Great video as usual.
Do you drink the rainwater straight or do you boil it first?
the Team is amazing.
Love the start of the video. Beatiful and poetic.
How long had it been since the last haulout/scraping?
About two years...🙈
inspirational, thank you
Vaya trabajo más duro que habéis hecho. Cuanto tiempo tardasteis en acabarlo?. Y cuanto tiempo hacia que no lo carenabais? Saludos desde Santurtzi, Bizkaia, España y que la mar os sea propicia.
@12:25; Was that someone whistling the “Hair of the dog?” ;-)
Another very entertaining and uplifting episode everybody! Nike, thanks for posting! ;-*
😂😂😂 I was wondering if anybody would pick the up. I first had stopped the audio before that but the end always sounds weird without sound so I just extended the audio of the clip without the picture and I had to laugh when I heard what it revealed. It was me saying “hair of the dooog” and then Paul was whistling for Luca. We had had a couple of drinks the night before and were all a little tired and hung over that day which does not help when u spend the day in the heat and grinding below keels 😂😂😂
Wouldn't mind helping !! Wow.. wonderful
good to have good friends 😊
You found a beauty spot and calm conditions for that daunting job, judging by the fouling maybe do this again a little sooner next time. I live in the back of beyonds in Ireland and chose a lifting keel so as to do exactly the same plus the anodes of course; its an annual chore 😩 a really hard job but you made it look fun and light work - there is great satisfaction in a clean hull - lovely video thank you👌👍🤗
but every Spring and it lasts the year, needs it f
Yeah I did not plan to let it slack for that long but having surgery and laying in bed for three month did not help to keep the yearly schedule up...as much as I like to put all my energy into my boat, I think health has slight priority over bottom growth...😂
It was quite the job for sure but it helped that it was in such a nice setting. Although that also caused some extra stress on it all. But at least not the usual “each day longer on the hrs costs big $$” stress ☺️. All in all I am glad it’s done and Karl moves smoothly again.
Karl looks SO good!!
Uuuh, wait for next week, he will look even better!!! Thanks for the great paint, it’s holding up nicely so far 👍
Supreme sound!!!!👍
Dope Beat + Catchy Hook = Great Track 🔥🔥🔥
Seems like that boat hasn’t been hull cleaned in a long time. How much time to get that fouled?
I watch your channel because you continue to tackle challenges in such amazing places and ways. Do you remember the open air sail loft in Colombia? Thanks for bringing us along.
That’s Guatemala you are thinking of, I believe. Oh I have very fond memories of that time in Tom’s sail loft. We got a shit load done and Tom is a beautiful souls to hang out with, so time flew by even though there was so much work to be done.
@@WhiteSpotPirates He had a pretty sweet skiff as well!
@@Superbobstar he did that’s true. And the cutest doggies 🥰
Things are looking great, I know it's hard work. Just curious if you have heard of any of the cruisers trying out the mini air conditioning running off cold water..?🍻⛵
You deserve a medal, my dream girl!
"Twigs cracking"... King Kong appears!
Loved your video
My two laugh-out-loud moments... 4:12 & 5:14 Rewind, rewind, rewind!
Well done 👍
Respect🙏
Tanrının yarattığı güzel insanlar.
only you can smile while grinding between the keels.😊😎
I was wondering if Total Boat was rethinking their support given the conditions you were subjecting their product to. You will have to let us know how it turned out.
Bigfoot goes everywhere.
You are tougher than me. Yard work is hard enough in a yard, with power, showers, and a chandlery. But on the beach!
No thanks, a dozen times over.
Hi Yes I have had to do that too what a job? I must have scraped off a ton of muscles unedable to since I was in the harbaour against the wall. it took two tides to clear off the sea food. once afloat the fish had a good feed and the crabs too. I hope you had fun. bye Tom in Scotland.
Hi, How long have you been cruising and do you prefer the single handed life style
I have been cruising for seven years now and I think that both single handing and sailing with crew / partner have their pros and cons. I enjoy having my space where I can retreat to to be by myself, yeah, that’s definitely a big plus of single handing. But I am not single handing because I don’t like to have a partner with me on board or because it’s my preferred way of life style. Just have not found someone that’s able to bare my company for longer periods of time and vice versa, not even to mention having to accept my marriage to Karl 😂🙈
Love ya Nike and Karl too. Good job!
So nice of karl to lend a helping hand and holding himself up. Pretty impressive bottom growth. How was the sailing? Did you notice significant slow down?
Oh yes! There was a decent amount of slow down due to growth. Even right after scraping it was still quite a bit just from the roughness of the hull.
That black epoxy you put on, will that prevent the moss in the future or is it just further protection? I dont think i saw you this last time.
In this Episode I did not paint yet, that’s coming up tomorrow. Or are u talking about the pain trial? In that case: the white stuff is an epoxy primer which is for protection of the hull and the black stuff is antifouling which is protection against growth, yes. 👍
Ur to cute. Nike you are one of the hardest working people I know of. "I bless you".
That looks like hard, but rewarding work.
It was a bit hard, like yard work always is...just because it’s usually a lot in a couple of days with no break in between. In yard it’s usually Marina costs that drive u to work fast, in this case it was the moon tide only leaving 6-8 days for us to still make it off the beach 😂. But yes, once the prep is all done and the fresh paint is on, it’s extremely rewarding. And knowing I don’t have to scrape the hull every month now is even a better reward!
Living the dream 😊
Perfect you are sanding and grinding on the beach...welldone...let's be hippie.....don t forget the 15% discount on Totalboat product :)))))
how did you raise the boat on the beach ?????? the tide?
ruclips.net/video/2VPPGmfKwLo/видео.html we just used the tides. You can see it in the first video
How did you manage to look so clean when grinding under the hull? I looked like a member of the Blue Man Group when I took off my old anti foul.
😂 luckily the antifouling was mostly gone so we were mainly grinding barnacle feet which are white and not blue or black (in my case) . Maybe they don’t stick as well as antifouling dust 😂. I tried to grind away from my face, too, which obviously not always works. I still thought I had quite the bunch sitting on my face in the end. I think it’s inevitable to some extent except if u wear a full face cover.
@11:20; Ahhhh, silence is golden! ;-)
twin keels ftw!
Thanks for saving the planet!
Global warming is going to dry up that part of the ocean anyway. LOL. Dopy, why don't you go demonstrate in Portland?
Looking at one of your videos 2 years ago, when you visit an unknown island and walk into the trees and undergrowth, how do you know there will be no crocodiles or other terrible nasties?
You don’t 😂 and most likely there are all sort of critters around...the crocodiles here are not really attaching humans, though. You hear very little about it. I only know or two cases in Guna Yala, where someone got attached by a crock and they wonder if she had a baby and was protecting it because it was that time of the year and they usually have never attacked anyone. But of course they could...and they will most likely eat ur dog if u r not careful 😬
But it’s not like Australia here that there are forty deadly animals just around the corner 😂🙈. Most often, the critters will be more afraid of u and go away when they hear u. 🤞🏼 if there are locals around then i usually ask what there is to be expected.
@@WhiteSpotPirates Thank you for spending the time to respond. I absolutely adore everything about you and your way of life. You are soooo impressive. Please take care.
👍!!!
You güya great💖💖💖
I hope your foot is good and does not hurt!
This yard marathon with no break inbetween and lots of physical work surely cause a bit of pain for the foot. But at least it waited till after yard work to reveal itself 😂
Hi! Does anyone know? At 01:16 there’s a bird singing in the background. What kind of bird?
Why is it people want to out-think the experts, I, for curing time, usually double the time, things like temperature, humidity, even prevailing wind, can effect the outcomes.
Great video, and love your beer holder,I've seen that a time or two.looking forward to the next videro,been busy now it's catchup time on my favorite channels yours being one,I had to subscribe again,maybe I unsubscribe by accident, I'm still trying to figure out what happened, take care be safe and may your needs be met when needed...
No American man can resist you when you talk in centigrades.
I guess you know me well enough by now to know that I like to give advice :p But I have nothing to say here, except - good job! :)
Ok, well maybe one thing - you really should get mosquito (bat?!) screens for your companionway and forehatch, and the forehatch should have a windcatcher that overhangs the hatch enough to also keep the rain out.
That potato dish looked great, how about the recipe?
👍⛵
Has anyone calculated the optimal amount of time to wait between bottom painting? I do it very often, but because i do it so often it is an easy job... maybe i waste time painting paint that doesn’t need to be painting, but it looks like you spent a lot of time scraping things that would never have grown. There must be a formula! #science
