I've really enjoyed the last 3 episodes. I'm 60 and wishing I'd followed my dream back in the 90s to cross the Atlantic and Pacific back to NZ. But life got in the way, thankfully I'm only 3 months away from becoming a full time live aboard so it's never to late. Thanks guys.
Want crew mate "m,50"
@@priestblood I'm back in NZ. Taking early retirement to spend time drifting around our coastline
Sharing the dream means so much… happy New Years.
Watched for six years don’t change anything keep doing what you are doing!!
I am so glad that you have taken the opportunity to tell your story. You did it well and I admire how you worked and compromised to realize your dreams. You guys rock. Thank you.❤
PS Just keep living the adventure you are on! No regrets, Smile and enjoy each day as it comes along. Freedom is an amazing thing! Sharing it with one another makes it worth everything to be TOGETHER! GOD Bless you at whatever you lay your hands on. And continue being one with one another! The Best Accomplishment ever!
What an incredible story! Aways wondered what you were doing in the wilderness building a boat. Now we know. You were well into the project when I found your channel, but I binged watch every episode until I caught up. Been hooked ever since with Garrett’s craftsmanship and Ruth’s first mate’s savvy and willingness to pitch in. And a gorgeous smile to boot. Inspirational! Have a great new year and smooth sailing!
Ruth, Write THE BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!! You have a INCREDIBLE story to tell,, and when you sell it, you will have plenty of $$$ tolive on. I KNOW you can do , After watching you all these years and how to tell about your travels, you're a shoe in !!!!!!!!!!
I have been following your journey is the start of "Rediviva", and can say I have honestly enjoyed each and every episode. It was very enlightening to here your life story to date. As much as losing that hard drive was devastating, it was a blessing in disguise, we got to here a remarkable love story, not only love of each other but of a fabulous life style. May your years on the water be long and most enjoyable. Take care of each other, be safe and sail forever.
This last video makes me want to go back and watch all the videos from the beginning AGAIN! Love you guys!
Wonderful series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. At 84 yrs and a life long sailor, I love being able to live your journey thru your videos. Thank you! Cant wait for more.
I never knew y'all built the shed that built y'all's boat in. I just came in when y'all were building the frame of the boat and had some friends helping for a wee bit. Then if this old brain remembers right y'all did most of the work on your own. No matter I just know that I'm totally enjoyed following along y'all's journey and praying and trusting that God would continue to bless you kids as your dream built. And as for now I'm still praying the same way and that God will keep you kids safe.... And by the way I'm loving how long your hair is getting. It reminds me of back in days when I had my long hair dark thick and wavy . How the girls were so jealous of my beautiful hair. LOL. Then sadly the Army came along and shaved it all off. Never had much of any hair after I got out. Then I quickly lost what hair I had by 1980 I was totally bald. So all I got is the memories. I wish I has pics of my long hair but my mother refused to take any of me with long hair. LOL... Oh well with much love you kids be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..
That was a treat guys, thanks. I started watching when you started building. As a life long carpenter I especially enjoyed it, so would love to see your walk thru. Might have to do two episodes for that!
The oak failing due to rusted fasteners is called iron sickness.
So...how long before Garret gets bored and wants to apply his boat building skills to another new build?! Amazing couple, have so enjoyed the last couple of years watching your journey.
A wooden boat this size requires so much maintenance that he'll be very busy especially when you combine that with the inevitable smaller projects to improve the living and sailing situation.
268 Videos, an incredible story, you both are an inspiration to many. My request for future vids is certainly a walk through, including changes made and future changes (if any). Another vid could be a typical day, from crawling out of bed to the return... and or a Q n A session. Thanks, from a 'day one' viewer.
How many times I have walked right by Sirena, I'm quite certain of that! Now I live vicariously through you! Way to go you two!
Great to hear and see the story behind Salt & Tar. Thanks for sharing.
Great story telling, I’m glad you made these episodes. I’m very much like Garret, in the need for projects, a love for wooden boats, and the need to build things. I also feel the need to build my own boat, but I don’t think I’m willing to commit 7-10 years building instead of sailing. Aloha, I hope to see you in Hawaii one day.
So so very much enjoyed this series!
I know from experience...When the disease started for me...the little voice said "Bet I can build a boat!". "wait you need a place to build it, wait that vacant lot...you can build a barn to build a boat!". Yup, that's when the disease started! Ha
Andrew Gruel and Garrett could be twin brothers…..they even sound alike. Great series of videos, enjoyed them a lot. Thanks for sharing.
The chickens of the sea show respect when a thing of beauty arrives on the scene!!!?
Knock wood! Ha
What an awesome story series. I enjoyed every bit of it. What I really liked the most is how you met and that you were so young and are still together. That is rare these days. I wish you both the very best.
Your history and experiences are wonderful! The two of you are a breath of fresh air because the two of you have made something of yourselves because you had a love of a common goal! And you have done so well since!😁🛫
I just went back and watched the first video. It did make me chuckle when Garrett said it would take a year and a half to build. I wonder if you guys would have even started the build had you known how long it would take to build her. Ruth your video editing skills have come on SO much. The present day videos are as good as they get!
The two of you are just about the most perfect match for each other of any couple I've ever seen. Amazing story. And once again, congratulations of living your dream.
Seeing Swab was special as a younger guy! So cute! 😁🛫
Really Proud of you kids! don't ever lose that drive.
So glad you shared this......amazing that you spread it out and hopefully you were able to capitalize on views and funds for these fantastic stories. The stories are what got you to where you are now. And I for one love you two sailing hippies. When I started watching I was slaving away in restaurants in China....you inspired me to cut it all loose and come back with my new wife to my home and start a business that we have made ourselves and are continuing to grow, both our family and our business. We are happy and healthy setting up to travel and work, showing our daughter this great country. Hopefully a boat and world travel will be in the next part of our lives......
Really enjoyed the last three videos providing background context! Would be great to have a walk-through video as mentined and to hear what's working great and what you want to modify/improve; things like is she tight undersail, engine update (knowing what a challenge it was to begin with), sailing characteristrics, etc..
I for one...appreciate the back story, so thanks for sharing.
You two have an amazing story and a beautiful wooden boat. Thanks for taking me along ( so to speak) on your beautiful journey 🙏
It's says 6 of the new shirts have been sold, so I should get lucky number 7! Yay!
Fair winds and following seas ☮️
So many thoughts going through my mind. And they are all surrounded by one word. Love.. The love you have for each other, The love have for the water, The love you have for sale boats. And the love you have for life in general. ❤🎉😊
Thanks for sharing, gives us the background to fully appreciate where you are today. Congrats to the both of you. I hope your adventure extends far beyond San Francisco and Baja.
Love how Ruth really is a top notch first mate. Not just a Barbie. Please sail across an Ocean.
I raced home knowing that nothing would interrupt me. So very much have enjoyed your history. Who'd ever thought that the sexy one is the tar?? I've loved every single minute of this channel since I started watching so many years ago. I'm so happy in life for you both. Past, present, and future!! Stay safe. Baby Swab is an angel. 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
Loved the back story would love one more week where you just sit for a half hour and go through the experience of building reiviva
I started watching your RUclips share adventure while you were in Napa coming up for Fresh air painting bulwark planks,
sometime in the future I'd like to sit and watch the first 47 episodes from before I watched you episode 48 when I and became a fan.
Been waiting each week for updates ever since.
Just think one last conversation for those of us that came in after the beginning of your adventure would compleat the gold of the result of your lost hard drive,
Thanks for sharing
You guys are awesome. Thank you for sharing your stories and allowing me to follow along.
Great story!! We have been watching since we were surfing on Utube and you guys were pouring cement….. we said what the hell are they building???
We subscribed and have watched every video since then! You both have a LOT to be proud of!!!! Garret… I’m still in awe of your knowledge and meticulous work!!!! Thanks for the journey and we are looking forward to the next adventure!! KUDOS!!!!
I've watched for years now, but after hearing how you all got started, these last 3 episodes, l feel like binge/rewatching the whole build again. You guys do some of the best sailing/building videos on RUclips , I thank you and wish you the best year yet.
I don’t want this format to end.
GOOD ON YOU TWO!! 👏⛵
TALK ABOUT COMMITTED and WILLING TO PAY PRICES!!
I really enjoyed hearing your back stories Garrett & Ruth, thank you!
All the best ahead!
That was the most amazing story. I don’t usually comment because I watch on tv but I have been faithfully watching since the beginning. I was always inspired but you two in so many ways. I started watching for the building but quickly was amazed by your relationship maybe because my marriage was ending. To support each others dreams like you have and to continue being a team is so inspirational. To decide to build instead of Mexico because you could see he wasn’t happy is so selfless and beautiful. Thank you so much for being you! Thank you for your videos- I think they help people more than you realize. Here’s to a lifetime of adventure and joy! If you ever get bored enough to end up on the east coast, I’m in Newfoundland with open arms haha.
...really enjoying everything you're sharing with us along this wonderful adventure!... take all the time you want!
I found your channel a couple of months ago and fell in love with you and Rediviva. I watched episodes as they came out and in the intro there was one line that captivated me. It was Ruth saying "and I won't need these boots anymore." So curiosity got the best of me and over the last couple of weeks I have been binge watching from episode 1. What an amazing job you two have done! Through the episodes going from excitement to boredom with some of the more tedious tasks. At times I wondered if you were going to give up...of course I knew you didn't. The highs and lows kept me intrigued and I couldn't wait to get home from work to binge a few more episodes. The build of Rediviva is an adventure on its own, but now you reap the rewards of all of your hard work and finally made it back to Mexico. I am envious of you both because you acknowledged your dream while you were so young and you went for it. I am 51 and have recently become interested in sailing and my dream is to cruise the world before I can't. If I ever get out there and see you guys along the way...I'm definitely coming on board for some tacos and beer. The good thing too is I just got caught up as you are arriving back in Mexico so the hard drive crash had minimal impact on me as I have been living in your past. Now on to your future. Fair winds and following seas! Cheers.
Sure did enjoy your video again… can’t wait till next week… John and Penny… Ontario, Canada….
LETS REPEAT THIS…..
TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD…
Superb.
When I sailed in Hobart, Tasmania the yacht owner had a bag that we slung under the keel every time we attached to the mooring bowl. This would be tied up so it was just above the water level. He’d then add some solution which totally stopped algae growth and barnacles for up to 5-6 weeks. By the way take a look at this years Sydney to Hobart finish, totally insane finish as 2 100’ maxis ghost towards the finish. Hope you guys have a great 2024, I’ve loved watching you for a few years now and want to see you cross the Pacific :).
Traditional rigging presents a moving, noisy scarecrow type environment... modern boats are more bird friendly so they’ll prefer to roost there, which generally requires the use of decoy owls as deterrents.
🕊👣👽
Great Love story, not only the love you have for each other and Swab, but the love for boats and the ocean, well done, keep them coming, cheers from Bribie Island, QLD Australia 🙂
Honestly I like both of those ideas the building of the boat and the walkthrough of what she is today as to the stories to date most outstanding in the presentation
Loved the back story you two. Good on you for doing this.
What an incredible little series of videos.
It makes so much more sense now, what you have done. Kudos.
I am so truly happy for you.
I have just reunited with my 1st love. The same girl i started my sailing dream with. Sold my my marine service business. And we are embarking on a similar journey although much older than you.
More power to you
Tremendous respect for you both for not plastering over your lives all nice and tidy for public consumption, just telling your story as you lived it. Fascinating and so human and relatable. I would enjoy the boat tour and some explanations of what you feel is working and what you plan to change or would do different. I suppose coppering her in this economy was unfeasible, but those pictures of the fresh copper bottom you did were beautiful.
Incredible story.....I looked this episode 2x.....and perfect ideas for new videos.....
Please continue. As a retired boatbuilder in The Netherlands I never get enough of your way doing all this
Thank you, thank you, my wife and I really enjoyed that very much, when we found your Chanel (or your channel found us more like it) you were just finishing the planking, so while in coved lock down no 3 in New Zealand we binged watch from the building the shed and have been hooked ever since . We have even bought our first yacht a davidson 20ft trailer sailer to kick off our own adventures.
Many blessings from NZ
What a great story. The part I most enjoyed is gaining insight into your personalities. As well done and entertaining as your videos are I hadn't achieved that from them. My hope and prayer is that you are able to continue your adventure for many years to come.
Start watching yal right about the time when you move the boat from Washington to Napa. I love these last three episodes. It really shows who yal were and your true love of sailing. Just not another sailing Channel. I have learned a lot and admire the knowledge you guys have for wooden boats. Thank you for amazing videos
What a lovely romp through your life of coming to build your "Rebirth"! You seem to have grown up in this process a lot, and have a good sense of how you are poised and where it is that you can now move forward, wherever that may turn out to be... Thank you for living that dream for me, and I wish you fair winds and following seas... God Bless you both!
Love the new "You're coming too" shirts. Wish there was a long sleeve option.
I’ve watched on and off over the last few years but these episodes definitely are some of the best.
It’s pretty cool of you to share your love story with not just boats but each other…
You two are truly blessed humans, and a blessing to those who find your content as well.
I really came to understand you better. Why you were in the forest building a sea going vessel. Why such a classical ship.
So now I will go back to the beginning and see the complete project from a greater understanding.
Thank you so very much
Thanks for sharing your story and the boats you owned and reasonings to pursue other opportunities and how it all led you two to build a boat from scratch. The cosmos aligned and every thing lined up so it could happen. Looking forward to the rest.
I have enjoyed your story of how you got to where you are now, I started watching your videos as boat building is a passion for me also, I now feel that I need to go back to the beginning and watch your build process again to complete your story.
I'm on video 155 of the build (the mainsail arrives) and am loving sharing your journey. And now your backstory has added so much depth to watching the build. You two truly are a 50-50 team. Best of luck to you both in the future. (I wore my Salt & Tar shirt to the doctor's this morning. I wish I could do more.)
This explains why it's "8 years and counting." You really have made lemonade from the lemons your camera woes threw at you. Thanks for another fine episode.
I can’t believe how long Garrett’s hair has gotten! I remember not too long ago he had cut it off short again just before the boat hit the water.
It took me over thirty years to realize that I was not in love with my building projects ( houses, cars , motorcycles and now boats) but in love with the process of the learning and work, I see that in you.
I have really enjoyed learning the history of how you got to this point! Thank you. ❤❤❤
Ty for sharing your journey. Inspirational is not enough to say. I absolutely love hearing how you got here. ❤
Thank you so much for the story of us. It has been wonderful hearing your tales of life along the way.
I love the story but I must be honest, to me the best snippets are those I see how Swab was growing. I miss him.
I love how you follow your dreams and stay in your hearts as you journey through your life together.
Thank you!! I am enjoying this format so much... obviously, this can't be forever, but I am so happy you lost your hard drive... maybe this can tell you that we want to know you better, not just the idyllic lives you have, but who you are, what you think, how you feel. I hate to say this, but that is what Sailing La Vagabonde has done so well, they have let us in to their lives, love them or hate them, they exposed who they are, and we enjoy that as voyeurs... which is basically what we all are.
What a massive undertaking....ya gotta be the two most confident folks ever.
What a great rap up to the history of your sailing lives to this point. The Swab cameos was a great plus as well 😊
Loved this little series of videos. Would love to here how you decided to and ended up starting a RUclips Channel.
About the bird poop thing... I was lucky enough to meet you guys while you were staying at Channel islands Harbor and you were gracious enough to give me and a couple of my Fairwind Yacht Club buddies a tour of Rediviva. There was an undeniably energy that radiated from both the boat and you. It was like there was some kind of synergy between you. I actually felt high from it. I have worked around some of the biggest stars in television and had never felt that feeling.
Back to the bird poop theory... I think this energy is like a forcefield of some kind and the birds feel it and don't dare to despoil Rediviva.
Thanks for producing these great videos.
This was a great series and all hail the corrupted hard drive. Maybe we wouldn't have got to know so much detail if it didn't break. Karma?
This is the best investment I've made. I've been with you from about fifteen/ eighteen months into the build, maybe earlier, not sure. I know that I've loved very single episode. Greatly miss Swab and have enjoyed watching you, both, learn new skills and abilities. More please....
This was a great series. The dack story of everything that lead to this channel. It was all a series of steps
I first subscribed at 2K subs. So episode 2. A compilation of the build to splashing for one video and maybe splashing to cruising for another would be cool.
Would love a boat tour! Also would be interested to hear about how you picked the design you did for rediviva.
Love the story. So when is Garrett going to get bored again ? Now Rediviva is almost done I sense the need for a bigger boat looming. 🙂
I am not a great lover of rehash "how we did it" videos as I have watched every video on every channel I subscribe to. Keep on sailing and enjoy her for many years. Garrett you can whittle wood if you get bored give Ruth some time to enjoy her sailing dream. ATB. Have a great New Year. regards from the UK
The answer is yes. Bottom paint, also known as antifouling paint, is designed to protect your boat’s hull from barnacle growth and other types of marine organisms. It is a specialized coating that helps repel marine life from attaching itself to your boat’s hull, thus preventing them from creating a home on it and causing potential damage.
Great story enjoyed the story very much. Thank great memories. 👍
That rats nest below while building, looks normal to me!! Best, Jim
I love these videos.. and though all the swapping out boats would get on my nerves, I appreciate your wheeler dealer work.
What a great story. Really enjoyed. You guys are amazing!
Thanks so much for the last three episodes, it's been great to get the background behind the story. 👍
I've been here right from the first episode, and always look forward to your next video, it's been great to follow you both. 🍻
What a story, and what Gonads! You stuck to your dream!
Wow, what an incredible journey you both have been on! It's amazing to see the progress you've made with your boat, from wood to fiberglass and back again. Your dedication and craftsmanship are truly inspiring. Here's to a smooth sailing new year and many more amazing episodes to come. Keep up the fantastic work, you guys rock! 😊⛵️
That was very interesting. After these last episodes I believe a much clearer understanding of your future journeys and decisions will clear. One thing for sure I have a whole lot of respect for you and what you are doing, not that I didn't before but much clearer now. Thaks for sharing, luv you guys.
That was a nice change, Really enjoyed all the history !
Again this was such an interesting conversation!!!
Thanks
I’m calling BS.
Rediviva isn’t floating on the water just look at the portholes that’s green screen
Just kidding!! You guys are so awesome and so adventurous thanks for sharing!!
Love this story telling series so much!!!
As I sed right a book of you life story . You have some good tales to tell . Keep the good work up . All ways look forward to your videos
Now I want to go back and re watch your story from the first episode. Lol.
Seems Everything happens for a reason and the loss of your Hardrive has been our Gain. We've watched you guys tenaciously work to complete Redadiva. From watching your Story, I'd say you two were blessed Providentially to build Two Incredibly Deep Lovable Personalities and to hone Timeless (Forgotten) skills and work etthics. The Relationship you two have together is so wonderful to see and yes Ruth, your tag line sums it up.... "You're coming too" . We are with you guys receiving so much from your sharing your lives with us.
Thank you for Blessing us with your videos.
May Blessing Richly Abound to you in all things Great and Small.. Fair Finds and Following Seas, Gary Larson Music
Your passion is evident and it’s so refreshing to see you not compromise and to follow through with your goals, god bless you both
Really enjoyed the last 3 episodes. You guys are such a great team. I really hope you are always perfect for each other. There's another couple who's boat building and sailing life I follow... I don't believe they are as fortunate...
I have a Morcambe Bay Prawner. It's a 28ft on deck gaff cutter. If you ever make it to Scotland we should cruse together.
Love the idea of a thorough walk through, love the idea of a synopsis of the build.
Thanks and look forward to more of your adventures ❤
Great recap. You took us right up to when we started watching , the genesis of Redidiva.
Fantastic HISTORY Totally enjoyed it THANKS FOR SHARING.
Another great video guy's We just spent a week at Morro Bay State Park and had a great time. We walked up to the rock a few times and checked out all the shops and ate at Bayside café a few times and did happy hour every day. SEEYA
Glad to know im not the only whackjob whos seriously given thought to copper sheathing a wooden hull... You guys rock, and your story is an inspiration to sailors and amateur shipwrights everywhere! Happy new year!
I dove for artifacts in N. Florida as a kid and collected several specimens of copper sheathing that had been torn off on the rocks in the St. Marks River.
@@jackbelk8527 That's not surprising seeing as how there would have been a lot of naval vessels operating in that area in the 18th and 19th centuries. I believe the British started copper sheathing their ships first, then pretty much everyone else with a navy followed suit. It cut hull maintenance down, extended the life of the ships and also gave a significant increase in hull performance.
