  • I'm doing a little more sailboat maintenance here painting my hatches and helm and showing how I fixed my blocks and sheaves without having to buy new ones.

    Fellow Ohioan with the same dream here. Hoping to spend a few seasons learning the ropes on Erie while saving money and then I’ll make my way south. Definitely inspiring to see your vulnerability while learning as you go. Really excited to see where you go. Keep it up man

      Awesome comment man thanks, I almost bought my boat in lake eerie and went through the locks to the ocean but saw a lot more boats for sale here in Fl without the trouble of the locks

    I just watched a bunch of your videos. *Maintenance videos, simple fixes, will really help your channel grow! Not necessarily how to’s just maintenance (daily boat life). Nice job on those blocks you should’ve shot video of all that, adds content. Also, how are you navigating, chart plotter? A lady in a bikini for a day sail will really boost your views! Start posting 1 a week, take your camera everywhere, are you still living on the boat? Remember, you are the channel. Good luck!

      Love the comment, I appreciate it. I thought that myself but I noticed my maintenance videos don’t get quite as many views. I stopped to get a job but still living on the boat and will start the videos again soon, and Jst so happens I met a lady that looks good in a bikini ;) haha but yea I use garmin chart plotter and avionics

    Don't varnish your teak. you will have to sand it down and redo it every year and that's a pain. Just sand it down and oil it. Repeat oiling and just wipe it on once a month

    • @OffgridOceanLife
      @OffgridOceanLife  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for the comment, I’ve been into woodworking my whole life, u don’t have to sand it all the way down each year as long as u don’t let it start peeling, you Jst scuff it and add another coat or 2 each year. I just like the looks of varnish a lot better and the extra hard layer of protection doesn’t hurt either
