fun and exciting new season

people want more refitting

and we also got some feedback from our

current subscribers telling us they love

the content just the way it is

thank you guys you are so amazing we

really appreciate it

so now the second half of our look back

at some of the fun we've had and some of

the progress we've made

so you don't miss any of the sailing and

fun

to our supporters thank you and we hope

you enjoy part two of our sail down

memory lane

if you watch our channel you know that

my favorite place to be is in the water

fortunately i have an obliging captain

that doesn't mind taking me to the

places i most want to be

obviously i love riding on the front

it's one of my favorite things so i'm

excited about that

and the captain installed a comfy seat

so i can enjoy the ride

and it's the best place to get a great

view of the beautiful water

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

grabbing a mooring ball has become my

new favorite hobby and once the captain

gives the go-ahead

we dive right in and discover what lies

beneath

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so far we've gotten to see lots of fun

animals

some more intimidating than others

and some sneak up from behind and you

didn't even know we're there

but all have been interesting and we're

looking forward to seeing many more

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

wow

[Music]

[Music]

we hate saying goodbye to the reef but

we do like to explore what's on land too

so far we've been to about 50 keys which

leaves only around 750 to go

but at least we've been to the longest

key which at 30 miles

is key largo

[Music]

john penican state park is probably the

biggest draw in key largo

they have a marina and lots of

activities and they offer trips up to

the reef

[Music]

a little garden walking path here

and then there are smaller queues where

you can find some interesting things to

do

[Music]

and the best key to party on

we love exploring all the places the

mcgregor can take us but we also like

returning to the catamaran and the

refitting

[Music]

there's savvy cat

but he's gonna fill us in on why he

thought buying a catamaran was a good

idea

for this boat six foot swell right on

the beam was actually kind of fun

it never does get to the point where you

feel

extremely uncomfortable it just feels

like you're moving but

not going to flip over of course there

are many other reasons for wanting the

cat

get all this deck space okay here we are

in the master bedroom

a much larger galley

stoop though's that provide access from

the front to the back of the boat

a stand-up shower for the six foot three

captain

we've got the captain sitting in the

dining room now again that turns into a

bed

there were delays that slowed our

progress though practicing social

distancing which is pretty easy to do

when you're

on your own boat we have a migration of

seagulls

hundreds are showing up every single day

can you hear the seagulls the seagulls

from the last two hours

what is up with that i i like the

seagulls but that's

this morning that was pretty harsh it

was pretty harsh alarm clock

and even at the dock we had to battle

waves when it was sunny

and when it was raining and it rained a

lot

it is raining and i think

it's now it's scheduled to rain pretty

much all day so

okay

this storm came out of the blue or that

with

they weren't showing this anyway we know

this was going on we're trying to

work on the catamaran so another rain

delay

and then there was the hurricane

prepping but this past season we were

very lucky

hopefully um everything's been estimated

for a five foot uh surge

this time you can see a little bit of

the mud on the rail there from when it

laid laid down a little concerned if

that thing breaks loose

could end up hitting our boat so this is

all

king tide king tide flooding

and the delays kept coming we had

a surprise that the captain can tell you

about

we discovered a small pinhole leak in

one of the

holes below the water line i think we're

probably

this is going to be a blessing in

disguise away so it is a blessing this

guys i kind of wish we had a hole in the

our boat uh sooner well

i'm trying to be positive about it so

now

we made the decision to go ahead and

haul out

babe that propeller looks so tiny

never talk about a budget propeller

[Music]

now we're about to get hit by a boat

we're the only boat we can see for eight

miles and they come right at us

all right go ahead so um

[Music]

anyway that's it i'm preparing for it we

got to prepare for impact

sorry oh and there was still prep work

to do before we could even pick up a

the tool on the side

[Music]

oh yeah does it look awesome

it's the first day you ready to get

started

coffee first

get your coffee get a hammer let's go

[Music]

yeah we're gonna take out the support

beam we spent a lot of time removing

material that had been damaged from

water getting in the boat

we worked on different ways to

re-support the mast and after all of

that we decided to put a stop on that

project

and return to it at a later date about

it cutting it

arguing about it trying to figure out

the best course of action but we moved

on to things like widening the door by

eight

inches now the egress is a lot wider we

can get in and out and

best of all it lets a lot more light

into the cabin it is a huge

demo day so we're done

[Music]

there was also a lot of moving and

juggling things around just so we could

get to where we could work

and because we were in a wet slip

everything took a little longer

he was several hundred steps just to get

to and from the boat

i just finished removing everything

we did a ton of demo this season

actually a lot of it wasn't even caught

on

camera just after the captain brought

the boat down the intercoastal he worked

on it for a bit

ripping out the carpet and a bunch of

other things he

tried to do some design work putting

some things back together but we decided

to tackle that together

and continue the demo of the kitchen

parts of the walls the bathroom shelving

just all over the place so we haven't

put any of the pretty things back into

the boat yet but we are hoping that

this season brings a lot of that

oh look at that it's right here pretty

good it fits there yeah

in preparation for the finishing work

inside i did go ahead and do some of the

templating and some of the design work

picking out materials that we were going

to use

unfortunately again we were slowed down

time and time again with other

discoveries that we would find in the

boat and we'd have to stop a project

and work on that before we could go

ahead but at least i got

a lot of the templating out of the way

for when we are ready to start the

reconstruction

[Music]

and then there were some maintenance

type things that we needed to do on the

mcgregor and the captain wanted to do

on the catamaran okay we're doing the

windows today we have lexan

polycarbonate

windows which is a very durable window

it won't crack or

split they actually use it for racing

car windshields

and bulletproof glass on vehicles

the downside is is we never need that

the downside is it it oxidizes

um over time so before

after after

before before

oh my gosh we're gonna get started here

um

first step is to clean the window the

large debris

or any dirt that salt that is on the

window you want to make sure you remove

as much material as possible

mcguire's headlight restoration kit

it's a strong patch but uh it doesn't

give you a lot of options if you want um

to escape some of that floor to heat

with an air conditioner

so four bugs don't forget about

so we decided to make

another hatch and the ac goes where

oh yeah right there

[Music]

and the screen door

[Music]

and then there was behind the scenes

editing and editing

and editing all of which was worth it

because of the amazing support that

y'all have given us this year

we truly appreciate it and we're excited

about editing a little more

and bringing you lots of fun in this new

[Music]

season

[Music]

you
