On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, the crew kicks off our boat projects into high gear before flying home to the States to see family. This obviously involves bringing back our old game of "Thicken Epoxy" as well as our Post Its! Come back next week to see if we make it out of Mexico in one piece! See you then!

previously on onboard lifestyle
0:32
we pulled into paradise village marina
0:34
in nueva vallarta it was the first dock
0:36
we'd seen in two months and three days
0:38
so we didn't waste any time getting into
0:40
project mode
0:43
i spent time with my cruising friends
0:45
and took a tour through this amazing
0:46
resort
0:47
relaxation areas
0:50
with good internet
0:52
and my parents shed a tear when they saw
0:53
their first boat savannah
0:55
she was abandoned years ago and has
0:57
reached the end of her life
0:59
okay turn off the camera and that's
1:01
where we will continue our story
1:05
[Music]
1:18
[Music]
1:21
i just wanna hold you for forever
1:25
[Music]
1:31
well it looks like you have a project
1:32
going
1:34
come pizza's favorite
1:36
i know he hates this he hates it but
1:38
he's gonna be so handsome after all of
1:40
this
1:41
okay well lynn does her little project
1:44
i'm gonna get on to one of my own
1:47
now our backup anchor
1:49
uh has been just lashed to the bow
1:51
roller i'm gonna make a more secure
1:54
mount for it
1:56
so picked up some pieces i have my new
1:58
manta swivel a shot of chain
2:00
chain stopper and i just built this
2:03
riser right here out of starboard lumber
2:15
[Music]
2:25
for the chain stopper
2:27
all the hardware
2:29
and all the tools
2:31
this is something that's uh
2:33
needed to happen and i'm excited to get
2:35
it done
2:36
it looks so ugly up there just lashed
2:39
with line
2:44
okay so here's my plan
2:46
i now have my swivel
2:48
mounted to the shot of chain i'm gonna
2:50
secure it to the anchor
2:53
mount this about the same position as
2:55
this run this through and this will be
2:57
able to lock this shot right in place if
3:00
by chance we have two options
3:02
if
3:03
this chain and anchor gets fouled we
3:06
could cut it free and just do a quick
3:08
connect
3:09
to this shot and uh deploy it in seconds
3:14
or i if we lose this entire chain and
3:17
road i have a backup chain and road that
3:19
i could connect to this
3:21
just as easy
3:23
i think it'll clean up this four deck
3:25
and secure this anchor nicely
3:37
laughing
3:53
[Applause]
4:07
so
4:56
looks like someone's a little grumpy
4:58
after his bath
5:00
he's giving me the silent treatment
5:03
and i'm not letting him in his kennel
5:05
until he's all air dried out but he
5:08
looks so handsome
5:13
and teal is just finishing up
5:17
one more project
5:19
hey that looks good
5:22
yeah no longer do we have this thing
5:24
strapped over
5:26
i just put my seizing wire on so nothing
5:28
will come free
5:29
and uh yeah i'm liking it
5:32
look how easy this is to work
5:35
so let's say we have to cut this free
5:36
now well hang on i want to go out here
5:38
okay go out
5:40
okay look here is our new swivel all
5:43
seized on goes to the shot of chain to
5:45
our chain stopper
5:47
so now what we need to do
5:49
well let's keep going look at this
5:52
i put a quick
5:53
disconnect right here of course you did
5:55
what do you mean of course how else are
5:57
we going to connect it let's say we have
5:58
to cut this chain right here
6:00
i could connect that straight to here
6:02
with one pin
6:03
real simple
6:05
as soon as it's connected you pull this
6:06
pin it releases the anchor and then we
6:09
have a second anchor
6:12
okay one more thing off the list check
6:14
it off checking it off
6:17
looks good
6:18
i feel safer already
6:32
this step
6:33
has been bothering me for a while now
6:36
it started this hairline fracture going
6:38
around this step gosh
6:40
it must have been about a two years ago
6:43
i was carrying uh the mainsail up here
6:45
and i took a little bit of a fall and
6:46
put a load on this
6:48
and it just ever since then it's been uh
6:51
just kind of cracking out
6:54
so i had the girls remove this hatch for
6:57
me
7:03
and i'm running a shim under here and
7:04
clean this all out and put a nice
7:07
bead of thickened epoxy under there
7:12
thick and epoxy
7:14
all right you guys know the drill it's
7:16
been a long time since i've mixed up a
7:18
batch of thickened epoxy for teal
7:21
thickened epoxy
7:23
but since we are on the dock
7:26
we're gonna take full advantage of uh
7:29
being in a place where we can get more
7:30
supplies and just get some of these
7:32
things done
7:34
so
7:35
as with tradition
7:37
take an epoxy
7:40
thickened epoxy
7:48
now i'm removing the paint
7:50
and i want to get a nice clean surface
7:57
[Music]
8:01
so when i lay this fiberglass tape on
8:04
here
8:06
it bonds nice and true
8:10
another hour of sanding and i should
8:12
have this
8:47
well it's the next day
8:50
epoxy has cured fully
8:52
now i'm layering fairing compound on
8:54
here to just smooth this out
8:57
i've sanded
8:59
all the paint back
9:01
to the underlayment there and faired up
9:04
against that
9:07
a lot of hand sanding now
9:12
i want to just smooth to the touch
9:21
okay this is looking real good
9:23
feels uh muy suave now
9:27
i've been working on this for a few
9:28
hours four or five hours
9:30
and
9:31
it's time for barrier coat we're gonna
9:33
put interlux uh the inner protect 2000 e
9:36
down two coats tonight
9:38
uh one four hours apart because i want
9:40
to get paint on this tomorrow
9:44
but it's looking good
9:50
teal is working like a madman
9:54
they kind of have to it's hot out here
9:57
well the step is looking really nice
10:01
but it's kind of my report card on how
10:03
well i paired this thing and
10:06
all smiles so far it looks good
10:09
i know because that sun is not forgiving
10:11
right now that angle shows every little
10:14
flaw my shade is gone it's gone so i
10:17
want to get this down as fast as i can
10:19
let it cure and get the second barrier
10:21
coming out tonight
10:22
so we can uh
10:24
get the top coat started tomorrow
10:28
okay
10:29
our time is winding down we got a lot of
10:31
stuff to do before uh
10:33
we fly out but i think that
10:36
we're able to get everything done
10:38
i think we had a good day we had a good
10:40
couple of days i think we yeah we've
10:42
been very productive we've been getting
10:43
up at six five 6 o'clock in the morning
10:46
and
10:47
just
10:48
hit the ground running
10:50
i think margaritas are in my future
10:53
i think you deserve it maybe a steak
10:59
now you're talking
11:04
here's lynn getting my brain organized
11:08
well
11:08
you know what we have a lot on our plate
11:11
and this is the best
11:14
the best organization that we could
11:16
possibly do so this the system has
11:18
worked before it worked before i thought
11:20
that it was behind us but it's back
11:23
because we have a ton of stuff that we
11:24
need to do and i love my system anyways
11:27
because well i like the post-its but
11:30
anytime there is um
11:32
a project we just put it on here and
11:34
then if we have all the materials i put
11:37
a dot on it so then that way teal mr
11:40
captain teal uh can just grab something
11:43
or we can
11:44
and uh it just works so so right now we
11:48
are working on repairing our sugar
11:50
scoops yes and we're almost done what
11:53
should be done tomorrow morning i'll be
11:55
painting well since we're painting i'm
11:57
thinking why not do the shower stall i
11:59
know it's it's due it's due it needs a
12:01
little uh face lift i know and so that's
12:04
and there's showers here so we don't
12:06
have to worry about trying to get all
12:08
that done before we can shower so that i
12:11
think is good yes and what well i still
12:14
need to prep that if i'm painting that
12:15
tomorrow i'll get on that this afternoon
12:17
yeah i'll clear everything out for you
12:19
okay and then
12:20
i think that since we're doing this we
12:23
should fare and repair that cockpit step
12:25
well i've been working on that
12:28
the cockpit step yeah that's a little
12:30
dent
12:31
it's whose fault was that
12:33
it was the winds
12:35
lynn put
12:36
a radio out on the upper deck underway
12:39
in heavy seas
12:41
and it fell about six seven feet and hit
12:44
the step in my defense i need music and
12:48
oh that actually reminds me
12:50
oh great
12:54
so it put a little ding in our bottom
12:57
step well if we had zone three i
13:00
wouldn't have to bring a radio outside
13:02
i've been working on uh
13:05
we have oh that's the other thing we
13:07
have the speaker we have the setup we
13:09
just need to
13:10
install it okay not today though i know
13:13
that's later i'll just put another okay
13:15
and so then the other one that's been
13:16
bugging me the most is the nav station
13:19
yeah so put that down
13:21
we haven't really been able to use our
13:22
nav station or hang out there because
13:25
somebody has worn through the counter so
13:27
we've been prepping uh that and tomorrow
13:31
is our paint day all these items all
13:33
these there's what one two three four
13:34
items will be painting oh there's just
13:36
so much but it's okay these are just
13:38
these are all when we don't want to have
13:40
to deal with it we can just close
13:43
or open it
13:45
nice
13:46
yeah you better close that door i need
13:48
to start looking at this list
14:03
[Applause]
14:11
this is getting good we're getting a lot
14:14
of work done
14:17
this one's been bothering me it's been
14:19
bothering all of us
14:21
this is supposed to be your
14:24
my your man cave
14:26
i know i spent so much time here that my
14:29
elbows have been look at this look at
14:30
where my arms sit here
14:34
over the years i can't trying to think
14:36
how many years ago it was that we
14:37
painted this eight years
14:39
okay so it
14:41
it's due for a touch up then
14:52
i feel like most of the work is the
14:54
uninstalling all the hardware
15:00
prep work is key
15:03
i mean i could tape this off but that's
15:04
not the right way to do it
15:07
it's been
15:08
hard to believe it's been
15:10
over a year
15:13
since we've painted all these surfaces
15:14
but
15:15
i know but we didn't do it right because
15:17
we didn't do enough coats i know we need
15:19
to do more so a lot of wear and tear
15:22
and
15:23
mother nature is rugged on your boat
15:27
so while we're here
15:28
might as well get it done
15:39
it's a family affair today emma's inside
15:42
finishing up vacuuming and wiping down
15:44
the shower
15:50
and a teal is
15:52
starting the paint
15:56
time to refresh
15:57
our paint yep we need a little uh
16:01
a little pick-me-up
16:03
you know we're always in a hurry and
16:05
never put the proper amount of coats on
16:08
our paint and it and it wears over the
16:10
years
16:11
so this time we're uh taking the time
16:14
and um gonna put those extra coats in
16:16
our cockpit
16:17
and get a little more durability out of
16:19
it
16:20
but we're using new paint total boat
16:22
sent us their products so we're uh
16:25
we're testing it out testing it out and
16:27
you know what it's laying down nicely so
16:29
far
16:30
and over time we'll see how the
16:31
durability is but so far so good
16:41
first coat is
16:43
completed
16:45
and all i can say is
16:49
wow
16:51
we are so impressed with the wet edge
16:56
total boat paint
16:57
they said that it would be compatible
16:59
with ours
17:01
and they did not
17:03
lie we cannot disagree with it thiel
17:06
already loves how well it lays down flat
17:10
with no additional additives
17:13
for it and
17:15
i just love the look of it he is inside
17:19
doing
17:20
our upper head right now doing the
17:22
shower
17:23
and i can't wait to see
17:26
what it looks like
17:28
but wow
17:30
total boat delivered
17:37
is that a good feeling
17:39
oh so nice
17:49
it's gonna be beautiful
17:51
it has to stay beautiful that's the
17:54
that's the key
17:56
day two for painting today we were
17:58
planning on doing a light scuff of the
18:01
paint that teal put down yesterday
18:04
and put a second coat but uh the
18:06
humidity is playing a little bit of
18:09
havoc for it so we're thinking that
18:11
we're gonna hold off one more day and
18:13
then let it completely clear and harden
18:15
before we do a scuff and then a second
18:17
coat in the meantime uh all of my
18:20
laundry i'm trying to do all of our
18:21
laundry before we head out of here
18:24
has been pulled inside because teal
18:25
doesn't want it outside just in case
18:27
something falls into his new paint
18:30
but he is not down yet because he is
18:34
prepping the sugar scoop so the sugar
18:36
scoops will get a
18:38
one
18:39
first coat
18:40
today hopefully before it gets too hot
18:44
so there's teal now just making sure
18:46
that every all the final scuffing is
18:48
done
18:49
so it'll have a good adhesion with a new
18:53
top coat
19:07
oh look at that we got the perfect shade
19:10
i know
19:11
feels good now
19:14
oh
19:16
looking pretty good i might say
19:20
and so far oh there's a bug
19:22
where right there that landed right when
19:25
you just
19:27
poor guy
19:29
we'll see if he survives
19:34
so far you like this paint huh
19:37
i am loving
19:39
this paint
19:41
okay so
19:43
i noticed it takes a little bit longer
19:45
to dry in this humidity but
19:48
boy it just lays down nice
19:50
no bubbles no bubbles
19:53
i mean
19:55
no complaints it's just a
19:58
it's a nice paint to work with let's say
19:59
that
20:15
