previously on sailing and fun

the captain got the boat road ready

to make the thousand-mile journey to the

crystal coast of north carolina

where we hung out in a beautiful marina

and because we were the only ones

staying on our boat had the place to

ourselves most of the time

next time we'll continue exploring the

east coast and visit some beautiful

beaches

some historical sites and landmarks

but for right now let's check in and see

what's going on with the catamaran

refitting

the girls like the adventure part of our

life a lot more than the refitting

so what are we doing today

trying to make the bedroom a bedroom

again

oh yeah that's in it yeah and that's not

all

we had been using the master to store

extra wood supplies

cleaning products our food and extra

building supplies but now that we're on

the hard we wanted to start using the

bedroom

as it was intended so i moved everything

to up underneath the boat and it's not

exciting work but it's something that

had to be done

last time we were working on the cat we

had to push pause on the interior work

see these this wall was fixing to be

screwed in

and then we started noticing we had a

deluge

and there was standing water and we were

like where's all this coming from so we

went ahead and did a leak test and used

a hose and just sprayed it everywhere

we removed the boards in the cockpit and

these are the kind of leaks that we

found

uh seven in all and we even decided to

remove the entire helm

and patch some holes that they had for

the steering cables

and other wiring that we're going to

reroute at a later time

when checking for leaks we also found

out that a few of the windows needed

attention

what you scraping scraping off the

beautiful job

of caulking that you did good places to

go that day

oh did you yes

you need something to eat no you're

eating enough for the both of us

this is your third time eating yeah but

you

you don't eat of course i eat more than

you i do i i

eat i eat after i finish working i don't

you just go the whole day without eating

that's not healthy

you got a whole day without working

missed a spot

is that shade are you comfortable in the

shade it could be a bigger breeze i

think

is there any food left do we need to

reprovision

every time i turn around you're eating

again stop turning around

after installing the new polycarbonate

windows the captain used some temporary

electrical tape and a small bead of

caulk

which i then removed and scraped down so

we could have a nice clean surface

before we put down what we hope is our

final or at least

long-lasting protection against any

leaking

so you were saying you want to rebrand

the channel name

to what well sailing and other fun not

just sailing and fun

that was your nugget chestnut

i wasn't in on that that was back in the

day

just sailing and fun kind of denotes

that sailing is not fun

sailing is fun so sailing and other fun

this is no sailing and no fun got it

oh look the captain's eating again i'm

not shaming you

i'm threatening to

commandeer this entire

actually no i'm not i'm just gonna walk

away from this entire project

show us what you're working with

that's dow corning 795

and life seal we have had it on the

mcgregor now for years

and the boat is always in the elements

and we haven't had any problems with it

we haven't had any leaking

so this is actually i want

i want the other one i think we have a

nice one yeah it's it's in the

cabin i'll go get it

this is not like your typical uh kitchen

and bath kind of caulk you can't just

wet your finger and smooth it down in in

one swipe you'll need to take your time

black tar bubble gum it sticks to

everything

that is specifically for windows

made out of lexan and acrylic

all right so i'm gonna use this uh

downey nine um

or excuse me seven uh 95.

it's not downing it's dow corning i mean

dow corning

well downing is the company that makes

it right no dao makes it

oh dal what's downing a word you came up

with

downing is i'm sure downing is a word

um one thing that they say with uh this

dow corning 795 is to

wet both sides so you don't just

apply it dry and then

you know wet the surface you actually

wet underneath it and

that might make it easier to apply on

top of it i would think it wouldn't

because if your surface is wet then your

caulk is just going to slide

but um they probably don't

they don't know what they're doing well

what i've worked with i've worked with

a lot of [ __ ] and um

that's another video

it's so wrong yeah but um

if if your surface is wet when you're

caulking and you

apply you apply

um it's so soft work to make jokes like

that but it's just so

um it's just an easy target it's just

easy yeah

uh anyway okay so in my experience

if the surface is wet and then you put

caulk on top of it

it it um the cult just slides so i'm

surprised that they want you to wet the

surface but

that's what the professionals say to do

according to the

labels so we are going to follow their

instructions and

see how it goes this is going to be a

problem

if it touches my caulk i'm gonna be we

we have to fix this

oh do one window at a time well this is

i i can't do here if it lands on the

call

it's not going to you can't even pull it

down and touch it

don't pull so hard babe one do you it's

15 mile an hour winds

i'm not trying to i'm trying to do it

right i'm not trying to do it

three times what do you want me to stop

wanted you to do something with the

freaking tarp i am

ignore it oh my gosh

i never thought of myself as a very

patient person

me neither you and this boat are proving

that i do have more patience than i

thought

it's an understatement so this video is

about

what not to do as much as it is what's

best to do

first of all we goofed around and i

broke the tip off of the

dao corning 795 then we found out that

it had

actually dried in the tube anyway and we

were unable to use it so that was

about 17 mistake

we're scratching the plants to do

dow corning 795 because i bought it last

season

and it cured in the tube so so the

lesson here is to buy your materials

just before you use them

it's apparently a hard lesson to learn

as when we opened the

boat life caulking we found that it had

two

cured in the tube and we had to run up

to west marine and buy

another tube at thirty dollars so

finally we got all the windows called

here at saline and fun we like to make

all the mistakes so you don't have to

now that we have fingers crossed stopped

any water from coming

into the boat we can start back on our

finishing work the more exciting

fun part of the renovation this is the

face we get if we're eating and she's

not

it's good to be captain it's good to be
