      What a brilliant 'Wildlings' episode that was... pretty much a year in the making too! I bet your Dad and his engineering skills were the main inspiration for buying Minke in the first place! Without his experience, support and initial encouragement her 'recommissioning' would have been unimaginable Mark! So, so good to see your family all pulling together to help you guys achieve your dreams... you both do deserve it too of course! Couldn't have happened to a nicer more determined and secure partnership than yours! 'Life affirming'!
      Your unique and authentic 'rags to riches' come 'landlubber to seadogs' sailing epic will be an inspiration in any/all sailing communities, online or otherwise for many years to come... much thanks again for sharing!

    19:50 Looks like you have to reorganize the electrical system on your boat, maybe you can use a spiral plastic conduit to wrap the cables according to their class and function so that tracking/trouble shooting them will be easier and to avoid fires like the one on the next boat that caught fire.
    It's sad that your parents are back in their city....but life must go on....

After that comes Nadiyana who keeps the whole enterprise afloat, and finally Mark, who shows how not knowing what to do can be made into a science!
