wow! it's too strong you can't even get close to it! yeah impossible. We are back in Medana Bay, we're back in Lombok. Just got back right now, happy! yeah i'm not really realizing for the moment, i'm half i feel i am here forever and i didn't really leave lombok but in a way i'm not really realizing we are back in the tropics i'm realizing we're about to go for a swim because i'm super hot we just had a two hour car ride we just had five days in jakarta and uh uh let's walk in quarantine actually but that was pretty boring we didn't film anything there we're more just stoked to be back here at the boat the boat's back there in the back we haven't even got a look at it yet we literally just got here put our bags in the room and we're just gonna go and throw ourselves in the water just left uh europe snowing when we left so it's so nice to be back here in the warmth and hopefully warm clean water you so stoked right guys i'm in the cockpit uh pretty blue got this cover over otherwise there's no way you can work in here it's just too hot the big job here is i'm repainting the whole cockpit uh first for me i've never painted anything like this before so a bit intimidating but since i got started on it i'm sort of like into it now i don't know i think it'll be okay and for me as i've said in past videos the cockpit my whole boat but especially the cockpit it's my work room you know i'm pulling fish in here i'm cutting coconuts open here i'm fixing things i'm pulling the outboard in here and fixing it and things like that so i don't really care if there's a few scratches and just every now and again i'll give it a refresh and you know the most important thing is that it's safe like the grip uh steps and things like that are good so yeah i'm just basically sanding the whole thing today i've all taken all of the fittings off that i can um in all the bigger things so i don't have to tape around them it makes it easier to paint and sand so i'm just doing a sand today maybe this afternoon i'll get around to doing all the masking i think that probably going to take the most amount of time masking off all the grip areas and around all the gauges and winch handles and all that sort of stuff and then yeah hopefully tomorrow we'll get a coat of paint on maybe in the afternoon a second coat and then yeah then you have to go around and take all the tape off and put it on the other side you know so i can do the grip afterwards so it's a lot of taping in that but uh marie'll help out with that but yeah let's get stuck into it okay that's the sanding all done now uh time to give it a good wash down with water and soap and let it all dry and then we'll start putting the tape taping off all the things that don't get paint on them so that's not much i don't know what to say about putting scotch on stuff like it's such a meditative experience i'm feeling the more relaxed in in my flow than ever for sure more than spending a month in bali with all the hippies for sure in comparison i prefer to do that what do this yeah yeah it doesn't cost as much either yeah it's probably more interesting yeah plus all the money i'm paying you to do this you're gonna be so rich oh yeah you're gonna pay me what are you gonna pay me restaurant how's it going i hope it's going good professional master planter oh yeah probably this is a first for us we've never painted a boat before so uh hoping it's going to work out pretty good but i sort of figure the first coat is less of a problem because if we mess it up we can just sand it again so this is our guinea pig coat we've done all the prep work as good as we can as good as we know how and hopefully look good so shiny new paint how'd it go that's pretty good you're gonna see when it's gonna be dry it looks pretty good can you get paint all over you yep show me your hands beautiful yeah pretty happy with that uh first attempt at painting something like this but yeah as i said before it's the first coat so we'll probably go through and sand a little bit with fine sandpaper when it's dry and then do it again so you sort of get like a second chance but yeah as i also said before it is just the practical part of the boat and it doesn't have to look amazing but yeah we'll try and get it as good as we can and then yeah there's a lot of touch-ups to do along the hull you know where local boats fishermen come up alongside and bang on you and stuff like that but uh should be good moving forwards we'll be back in the water in no time well while we're waiting for the cockpit paint to dry before we do a second coat i'm going to start working on the huddle here so i'm spraying it with hydrochloric acid while mixed with water to get rid of all of the yeah like the rust stains or whatever is in it you know just give it a clean down and then i'm gonna sand and sort of fill any holes and dents that i've got over the last three years and then i'll sort of touch up those areas with new paint then i'll give the whole hull a cut and polish with a polishing machine and a cutting paste and then i'll wax it yeah it's going to be heavy work and it's quite hot here but i can't really do much in the rest of the boat while the cockpit is still wet so yeah here we go yeah so just spray this acid on it's in a bottle and uh leave it a couple of minutes and then slowly start working it in with the sponge and then rinse it off probably should be wearing gloves in a mask but oh yeah it comes right off look at that beautiful you get rust stains around the front of the boat here because you know it's coming off the anchor chain and things like that so but look at look at this so here's a rust stone straight gone pretty much that's awesome oh yeah that's so much easier than using well sometimes i've been scrubbing here for ages with soap in water and buying different sorts of yeah detergents and special boat products and uh here in indo at the supermarket you can just buy it's basically a toilet cleaner and it's 17 hci hydrochloric acid and yeah just spray it on rub it off all right it's about eight am and we're back here now to put on the second coat of paint in the cockpit we're actually a day late now we've missed all of yesterday because made a couple of big mistakes with the first coat so yesterday we sort of spent the day uh sanding yeah rookie mistakes probably a lot of you'll laugh at this and uh yeah feel free to tell us in the comments what idiots well it was my fault so basically first mistake was we mixed too much paint um it's very very hot here even though we're doing it early in the morning it's still you know still well over 30 3 34 degrees and very humid and so yeah we just mixed up probably about a liter of paint with the hardener and so there's probably a 30 or 40 minute time difference between when we started painting and when we finished painting and by that time the paint had got well it had changed consistency quite a lot so yeah it obviously was much thicker towards the end and so that didn't leave a very good finish and then second was i didn't have a good roller um i just had the wrong ones and i knew it and i decided to go and paint anyway so basically it left it looked really good in the beginning but when it dried we sort of realized that there's a real orange peel or eggshell i'm not sure what you call it but like a structure on the paint like just dimples you know um which i don't think is terrible if the whole boat was like that it would actually look quite nice in a way but it's not the rest of the boat's all perfectly smooth gel coat and everything looks good so it just looked weird so basically it went through and sanded a lot of it not back to what it was so there's still some new paint on there but um yeah sanded it a lot because if we just put another coat on top it would just end up with that same structure so basically sanded a lot of it back um and then you had to do the whole cleaning process and everything again so well here now we're going to mix a lot less paint we'll just basically just keep mixing smaller batches and i've got the shorter haired rollers here in india you don't get a lot of choice there's only two but i've got shorter haired ones uh so yeah we'll give it a try it's going to look way better than it did before regardless i'm not too worried but doing all the preparation the masking tape and all that sort of half or more than half the job so might as well try and get the painting part right anyway we're going to get stuck into it we are 24 hours after we paint the white the second coat and we gonna take off the tape and see if it's looking good there is only one sort of masking tape here and it's not really the best quality so it's not always easy to take off but we're doing slowly pretty happy in general how the paint looks obviously there's a few little boo-boos here and there but a definite improvement on uh how it looked before and also yeah it's just protecting the epoxy and everything underneath so yeah pretty happy devil looks better after the second coat after we sanded again yep pretty good we'll uh probably not become professional boat painters but i'm happy enough to do my own boat right so after painting to go back and put all the fittings back on so i took the winches off and some of the pulleys and the clutches and obviously the bimini spray hood all that sort of stuff yeah i'll go back into that but at the same time give the winches a little bit of a service i've cleaned them all now put some good good grease around just throw a bit of grease around all the gears okay today we took the uh day off from boat work to go on a little adventure i met a couple of friends in the local village next to the marina and uh they're taking us here donna what are we doing where are we going it's good so now we're gonna go to the next waterfall what's this called what's called waterfall uh what we call it tilla caleppa yeah yeah so we've been uh flat out working on the boat dusty hot work for the last few weeks no not really last ten days and uh yeah so we decided to do something a bit different yeah two for you to be back in nature like that's how i remind i am really happy to be back in indonesia because in marina it was work it's not really fun the water we have new friends super happy to be here yep me too be careful this walkway is actually a big pipeline basically from a mountain i guess from the stream that we're going to look at the waterfall and it takes all the water down to the rice paddies down in the valley i think i'll help you really a powerful waterfall just getting coated and spray pretty cool though probably can't even hear me yelling at the camera but yeah i'll yell anyway wow it's too strong you can't be that close to it now we are in the mountains with all the team they took us here because it's a special place to growing strawberries so we are picking strawberries all together super fun yeah so we took this long windy road up in the mountains we're just following the the guys and uh had no idea where we're going yeah we're pretty high up now i guess we're probably uh i don't know maybe a thousand meters above sea level and it's it's much cooler up here so all the different vegetables grow and yeah the strawberries and carrots must be the whole uh valley here is the vegetable capital of lombok but yeah strawberries everywhere pretty awesome here's the bag super tasty strawberries so today we are working on a boat vernon i think it's better to repaint the wall cockpit and the deck because the paint starts whoa i think that's enough for today guys uh i've been sitting here in this 40 degree heat editing for like eight hours and 17 minute video that's enough you guys have to wait till next week to see the rest of the boat work i'll give you a little heads up we take off all the staunches and all this uh rails and all that sort of stuff and waterproof it we uh do the grip paint in the cockpit we anti-foul we put a new propeller on and we get the boat back in the water so uh yeah look forward to that we certainly did like getting back in the water is just the number one goal uh to finish this video off i want to say thanks to patrons so cool again uh yeah we've been away for six months now and all of you stuck with us a couple of you actually raised your donation so super nice of you and um yeah we're back to scheduled viewing now and as soon as the boat's in the water we'll be yeah back to our normal sort of adventures we've got a bit of a big plan this season yeah we don't even know exactly what it is yet but we'll sit down and probably that not this next video the one after and talk to you about it thanks again for watching and uh we will see you all next week same time same place bye bye

wow

it's too strong you can't even get close

to it

yeah impossible

you we are back madonna bay we're back

in lombok

just got back right now happy yeah i'm

not really realizing for the moment i'm

half i feel i am here forever and i

didn't

really leave lombok but in a way i'm not

really realizing

we are back in the tropics i'm realizing

we're about to go for a swim because i'm

super hot we just had a two hour car

ride we just had five days in jakarta

and uh uh

let's walk in quarantine actually but

that was pretty boring we didn't film

anything there

we're more just stoked to be back here

at the boat the boat's back there

in the back we haven't even got a look

at it yet we literally just got here

put our bags in the room and we're just

gonna go and throw ourselves in the

water

just left uh europe snowing when we left

so it's so nice to be back here in the

warmth and hopefully warm clean water

you

so stoked

right guys i'm in the cockpit uh pretty

blue

got this cover over otherwise there's no

way you can work in here it's just too

hot

the big job here is i'm repainting the

whole cockpit

uh first for me i've never painted

anything like this before

so a bit intimidating but since i got

started on it i'm sort of like

into it now i don't know i think it'll

be okay

and for me as i've said in past videos

the cockpit

my whole boat but especially the cockpit

it's my work room you know i'm pulling

fish in here i'm cutting coconuts open

here i'm

fixing things i'm pulling the outboard

in here and fixing it and things like

that so

i don't really care if there's a few

scratches and just every now and again

i'll give it a refresh

and you know the most important thing is

that it's safe like the grip

uh steps and things like that are good

so yeah

i'm just basically sanding the whole

thing today i've all

taken all of the fittings off that i can

um

in all the bigger things so i don't have

to tape around them it makes it easier

to paint and sand

so i'm just doing a sand today maybe

this afternoon i'll get around to doing

all the masking i think that probably

going to take the most amount of time

masking off all the grip areas and

around all the

gauges and winch handles and all that

sort of stuff and then yeah hopefully

tomorrow we'll get a coat of paint on

maybe in the afternoon a second coat

and then yeah then you have to go around

and take all the

tape off and put it on the other side

you know so i can do the grip afterwards

so it's a lot of taping in that but uh

marie'll help out with that but yeah

let's get stuck into it

[Music]

okay that's the sanding all done now uh

time to

give it a good wash down with water and

soap and

let it all dry and then we'll start

putting the tape taping off all the

things that don't get paint on them

[Music]

so

that's not much i don't know what to say

about

putting scotch on stuff like

it's such a meditative experience i'm

feeling the more

relaxed in in my flow than ever for sure

more than spending a month in bali with

all the hippies

for sure in comparison i prefer to do

that

what do this yeah yeah it doesn't cost

as much either

yeah it's probably more interesting yeah

plus all the money i'm paying you to do

this

you're gonna be so rich oh yeah you're

gonna pay me what are you gonna pay me

restaurant

[Music]

how's it going i hope it's going good

professional master planter oh yeah

probably

this is a first for us we've never

painted a boat before

so uh hoping it's going to work out

pretty good

but i sort of figure the first coat is

less

of a problem because if we mess it up we

can just sand it again

so this is our guinea pig coat

we've done all the prep work as good as

we can as good as we know how

and hopefully look good

so

shiny new paint how'd it go that's

pretty good

you're gonna see when it's gonna be dry

it looks pretty good

can you get paint all over you yep show

me your hands

beautiful yeah pretty happy with that uh

first attempt at painting something like

this but yeah as i said before it's the

first coat

so we'll probably go through and sand a

little bit with fine sandpaper

when it's dry and then do it again so

you sort of get like a second chance but

yeah as i also said before it is just

the practical part of the boat and it

doesn't have to look amazing

but yeah we'll try and get it as good as

we can and then yeah there's a lot of

touch-ups to do along the hull

you know where local boats fishermen

come up alongside and

bang on you and stuff like that but uh

should be good

moving forwards we'll be back in the

water in no time well while we're

waiting for the cockpit paint to dry

before we do a second coat i'm going to

start working on the huddle here

so i'm spraying it with hydrochloric

acid while mixed with water

to get rid of all of the yeah like the

rust stains or whatever is in it you

know just give it a clean down

and then i'm gonna sand and sort of

fill any holes and dents that i've got

over the last three years

and then i'll sort of touch up those

areas with new paint then i'll give the

whole hull a cut and polish with a

polishing machine and a cutting paste

and then i'll wax it

yeah it's going to be heavy work and

it's quite hot here but i can't really

do much in the rest of the boat while

the cockpit

is still wet so yeah here we go yeah so

just spray this acid on it's in a bottle

and uh leave it a couple of minutes and

then slowly

start working it in with the sponge and

then rinse it off

probably should be wearing gloves in a

mask but

oh yeah it comes right off look at that

beautiful

you get rust stains around the front of

the boat here because you know it's

coming off the anchor chain and things

like that so

but look at look at this

so here's a rust stone

straight gone pretty much that's awesome

oh yeah that's so much easier than using

well sometimes i've been scrubbing here

for ages with soap in water and buying

different sorts of

yeah detergents and special boat

products and uh

here in indo at the supermarket you can

just buy it's basically a

toilet cleaner and it's 17 hci

hydrochloric acid and yeah just spray it

on

rub it off all right it's about eight am

and we're back here now to put on the

second coat of

paint in the cockpit we're actually a

day late now we've missed all of

yesterday

because made a couple of big mistakes

with the first coat

so yesterday we sort of spent the day uh

sanding

yeah rookie mistakes probably a lot of

you'll laugh at this and uh yeah feel

free to

tell us in the comments what idiots well

it was my fault

so basically first mistake was we mixed

too much paint

um it's very very hot here even though

we're doing it early in the morning it's

still

you know still well over 30

3 34 degrees and very humid

and so yeah we just mixed up probably

about a liter of paint with the hardener

and so there's probably a 30 or 40

minute time difference between when we

started painting and when we finished

painting

and by that time the paint had got well

it had changed consistency quite a lot

so yeah it obviously was much thicker

towards the end and

so that didn't leave a very good finish

and then second was i didn't have

a good roller um i just had the wrong

ones and

i knew it and i decided to go and paint

anyway

so basically it left it looked really

good

in the beginning but when it dried we

sort of realized that there's a real

orange peel

or eggshell i'm not sure what you call

it but like a structure on the paint

like just dimples you know

um which i don't think is terrible

if the whole boat was like that it would

actually look quite nice in a way

but it's not the rest of the boat's all

perfectly smooth gel coat and everything

looks good so it just looked weird

so basically it went through and sanded

a lot of it

not back to what it was so there's still

some new paint on there

but um yeah sanded it a lot because if

we just put another

coat on top it would just end up with

that same structure so

basically sanded a lot of it back um and

then you had to do the whole cleaning

process and everything again so

well here now we're going to mix a lot

less paint we'll just basically just

keep

mixing smaller batches and i've got the

shorter haired rollers

here in india you don't get a lot of

choice there's only two but i've got

shorter haired ones

uh so yeah we'll give it a try it's

going to look way better than

it did before regardless i'm not too

worried but doing all the preparation

the

masking tape and all that sort of half

or more than half the job so might as

well try and get the painting part right

anyway we're going to get stuck into it

[Music]

we are 24 hours after we paint the white

the second coat

and we gonna take off the tape and see

if

it's looking good there is only one sort

of masking tape here

and it's not really the best quality so

it's not always

easy to take off but we're doing slowly

pretty happy in general how the paint

looks obviously there's a few little

boo-boos here and there

but a definite improvement on uh how it

looked before

and also yeah it's just protecting the

epoxy and everything underneath so

yeah pretty happy devil looks better

after the second coat after we sanded

again

yep pretty good we'll uh probably not

become professional

boat painters but i'm happy enough to do

my own boat

right so after painting to go back and

put all the fittings back on so i took

the winches off and some of the

pulleys and the clutches and obviously

the bimini spray hood all that sort of

stuff

yeah i'll go back into that but at the

same time give the winches a little bit

of a service

i've cleaned them all now put some good

good grease around

just throw a bit of grease around all

the gears

[Music]

okay

[Music]

today we took the uh day off from boat

work

to go on a little adventure i met a

couple of friends in the local village

next to the marina and uh they're taking

us here

donna what are we doing where are we

going it's good so

now we're gonna go to the next waterfall

what's this called what's called

waterfall

uh what we call it tilla caleppa

[Music]

yeah yeah so we've been uh flat out

working on the boat

dusty hot work for the last few weeks

no not really last ten days and uh yeah

so we decided to

do something a bit different yeah two

for you to be back in nature like

that's how i remind i am

really happy to be back in indonesia

because in marina it was

work it's not really fun

the water we have new friends super

happy to be here

yep me too

be careful

this walkway is actually a big

pipeline basically from a mountain i

guess from the stream that we're going

to look at the waterfall

and it takes all the water down to the

rice paddies down in the valley i think

i'll help you

really a powerful waterfall just getting

coated and spray

pretty cool though probably can't even

hear me yelling at the camera

but yeah i'll yell anyway

wow

it's too strong you can't be that close

to it

now we are in the mountains with all the

team

they took us here because it's a special

place to

growing strawberries so we are picking

strawberries

all together super fun

yeah so we took this long windy road up

in the mountains

we're just following the the guys and uh

had no idea where we're going

yeah we're pretty high up now i guess

we're probably uh

i don't know maybe a thousand meters

above sea level and it's

it's much cooler up here so all the

different vegetables grow

and yeah the strawberries and carrots

must be the whole uh

valley here is the vegetable capital of

lombok but yeah strawberries everywhere

pretty awesome

here's the bag

super tasty strawberries so today we are

working on a boat

vernon i think it's better to repaint

the wall cockpit and the deck because

the paint starts whoa

i think that's enough for today guys uh

i've been sitting here in this 40 degree

heat

editing for like eight hours and 17

minute video that's enough

you guys have to wait till next week to

see the rest of the boat work

i'll give you a little heads up we take

off all the staunches and all this

uh rails and all that sort of stuff and

waterproof it we uh

do the grip paint in the cockpit we

anti-foul we put a new propeller on and

we

get the boat back in the water so uh

yeah look forward to that

we certainly did like getting back in

the water is just the number one goal

uh to finish this video off i want to

say thanks to patrons

so cool again uh yeah we've been away

for

six months now and all of you stuck with

us a couple of you actually

raised your donation so super nice of

you

and um yeah we're back to scheduled

viewing now

and as soon as the boat's in the water

we'll be yeah back to our normal sort of

adventures

we've got a bit of a big plan this

season

yeah we don't even know exactly what it

is yet but we'll sit down and probably

that

not this next video the one after and

talk to you about it thanks again for

watching

and uh we will see you all next week

same time same place

bye bye
