Finally got around to editing some older videos! Boat is getting closer and closer to being ready for the open ocean but it seems like it never ends! Camera ...

got you happy don't hold out fast worked

on

[Music]

probably

[Music]

so what I'm doing is I'm gonna have to

go through all the wood including Vito

real right there this creepy old varnish

off that I'll expose the fresh wood

underneath and I'll have to sand it and

make it nice and smooth and apply for

coach of the varnish again maybe more

you'll see but that is the current

project outside that is I have to do

that every year so underneath my

sleeping berths and putting these rubber

mats they're usually used for showers

and stuff like that but I'm gonna use

them to try to get the actual mattresses

off of the deck here and that'll help in

the wintertime especially when it gets

humid and the VOC searches a sweat it'll

prevent the mattress from soaking up all

that moisture and allow it to kind of

breathe a little bit better so we'll

have to wait until next winter to see if

it works

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

very often

this summer all the sales are taken off

the bimini is down and while I'm back

I'm going to try to get some projects

done I've gotta work on some stuff on

the boom and then maybe get some board

working down if the weather clears up

we'll see so one of the things I found

when I was taking the mainsail off is

that this shackle is pretty much fused

to the gooseneck here so I'm gonna have

to figure out how to undo that it moves

but the the actual pin there it feels

like it is fused to the aluminum so yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

so one thing I could do is cut it here

and that would kind of free up this

threaded bit shackle and then I would be

able to kind of hammer it all the way

out

but see if I can just get it worked to

loose one of the problems with this is

that there's no good way to grip that

and it's actually twisted from my

previous attempts if the shears off

that's not that thing I can just just

drill through it the rest of the way

I'll be right back okay so the blades

that I have on these are explicitly made

for metal cutting I'm going to try to

cut off the rest of the shackle here and

then I will attack the pin however I can

[Applause]

[Applause]

all right so what I've essentially done

at this point is going to create a

couple of stress points that way by

bending it flexing it back and forth I'm

hoping that'll just fall apart and

that's why I was going for I'd basically

want to be able to pull that off now

today so now I have to figure out how to

get that out

all right I got the pin out of the

shackle hole when I pulled it out it was

covered in oxidation we've got a cleaned

up now so I can go buy an adequate

replacement but the important lesson

about all of this is that if there is

something that you might have to take

apart while underway go ahead and take

it apart once or twice while you're a

paddock because if I was an emergency

and had to pull down my mainsail been

able to paint this primer so I'm going

to does good job that'll be finished

soon so another thing I bought while I

was at the story today was this little

sliver of teak which is going to fill in

that gap right there honestly it is

annoying to step on and there's a sharp

little nail right there

I don't have to do that right now but

you know what I'm gonna do it while I

got time so I'm going to cut cut that

piece out get it varnished and ready to

go in and once it looks good it will get

nailed in there all right here's the new

piece fits in quite nicely

okay so to update you guys on my new

project list still have to do

refrigeration I still have to do the

plumbing the bathrooms and sink then I

have to finish varnishing finished

replacing the wood panels

finish replacing the port lights
