A sailboat belongs in the water and that's where Schihallion ends up in this episode. All the sweat, dust and hard work pays off and she is looking pretty good again and ready for a couple of years of new adventures.

good morning

good morning on our way down to the

boat park to crack into

yeah what will be the last few days of

work before we splash

it's a pretty nice place here look at

this wake up in the morning

and palm trees birds

the house is down that way and uh yeah

here's all the boats

it's been a yeah hard work getting all

this

stuff done um it's really

hot oh look mushrooms

there's a lot of dew in the night so the

mushrooms are popping up

little magical moments

and uh yeah we are getting the work done

and it's always like this you get 10

things going at once and it seems like

you're never going to get things

finished but then they start

to start coming together but um today

we're going to work on the

the grip paint in the cockpit we'll um

be masking that off and putting the coat

of that on and

yeah a few other bits and pieces as

venom said we're gonna do the grip

paint um so we're gonna clean it

with soap because we're gonna not

sanding it

and it's gonna be normally enough pores

and we're gonna

put a new coat of gray on the top of

this one

so the sort of paint i'm using for this

grip paint

it's actually like a very diy cheap

version

but it works really good the guy who

built this boat used it and he showed me

the can he used and i've sort of just

gone with that

it's sort of close to kiwi gripping away

and i found a local indonesian brand

called no drop

and what it is is a it's a rubberized

membrane

paint waterproofing paint for brickwork

and

concrete walls and things like that

before you put the out paint on

it's sort of viscosity of honey nearly

you just put it on thick like it is

and then you use a very rough roller

i'll show you later when we're doing it

but it basically just lifts the paint up

and it's so it's sort of a rubber

feeling and uh very very grippy

the only downside of it is it's uh

water-based which is okay but you can't

clean it with any sorts of acids so

so if you spill oil or coconut water or

some

something like that if you leave it on

there it it really

um eats into it and discolors it so you

got to make sure you clean it really

quickly before it can get in

but apart from that it's a real good

product and very very cheap

about 1 8 of the price of kiwi grip

right so we've cleaned and masked off

the

grip area of the cockpit and now marie's

painting already

this is the paint we're using

how's it going it's going good it's

quite easy to put

it's like uh don't know honey or

make syrup so marie's just slopping it

on relatively thickly

and not worrying too much about it and

then i go over with this

after five minutes once it's just got a

little contact with the air it gets a

bit stiff the paint

and then uh it sort of stands up and

puts a structure in it which is

massively grippy

it's the most grippy deck i've ever seen

check this out

just painted the gopro

[Music]

i've only got five days left until we

launch well

on the sixth day we'll launch so we've

got five more working days left

so a little bit under pressure and it's

really hard to know like

you know there's like 10 things going on

at the moment so it's really hard to

know but

in my experience things always sort of

come together at the end

like the priority jobs that you know the

boat can't launch until

they are done yeah i think we'll get

them done there's probably a few detail

things that

we'll still have to finish once we're in

the water but that's okay

all right all you at home we're back for

another day

groundhog day pretty much pretty early

we try to start relatively early before

it gets hot but it's already stinking

hot i'm sweating already

anyway we're back in the cockpit and uh

what do you reckon how does it look

it looks pretty good i like it the color

is

quite light and we're gonna see when

we're gonna

pull out the the tape if we did

correctly

this this paint down here we're going to

be painting this the same color

afterwards but we left a little island

to stand on

good morning everyone welcome to another

day in paradise

really tired today been working pretty

flat out the last

four days now and didn't sleep much last

night only get about

six hours so i'm pretty naked but um it

takes it out of you working in this heat

and probably sweating

bucket loads all day but uh today's andy

felling day

mixing up this uh what do we got

international

ultra two it's the hard

andy fell uh put on last time it lasted

three years so i went with this even

though it's a bit more expensive

it means you can scrub it it doesn't

it's not ablative there's a lot of

solids in it and they all settled on the

bottom like this thick you'd hardly get

the screwdriver in there so

having to give it a real good stir up

and then marie and i are gonna

get a roller each and whack it on a good

thing with andy feld

doesn't really matter how it looks no

one's going to see it under the water

just slap it on basically and this

afternoon we'll put a second coat and

the boat will look like it's ready to go

in the water even though it's not quite

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

this work is definitely more harder than

what i was expecting

my arms are dead beautiful day

here there's uh jockey

and so michelle out there he's working

on his boat getting it ready to go

to thailand hopefully and yeah me marie

just having a little break

this is the sailfish cafe it's open

well nearly all the time actually

there's a couple of girls here cooking

and making drinks

pretty much every hour of the day and we

just got our lunch

a pretty good menu here and pretty good

prices

what do you think about lunch today

it looks pretty good it's burgers we had

pretty west down lunch today

nobody we are taking nasi goreng but

today we tried burger

what's your favorite one on the menu

here i

am richard it's a leg of chicken

grilled or maybe deep fried in fact

there's a big paste of lemongrass chili

in tomato it's so good

we found the these small puppies under

the gt

close to the water and they were

this one i think was already crying so i

discovered it

because i was wondering what was this

noise

so they stayed there for one week that

the tide was coming

up so the mother took them

just in front of our room because

they're gonna be wet

and maybe drown if the tide was too up

and we were super happy to have new

neighbors super cute

but one night when we came back from

restaurants

they just disappeared the hall was

closed and there were no puppies anymore

so i was super sad so i was thinking

maybe

someone killed them because you know you

have a lot of

wild dogs here who just

yeah doing not so much and

just having gangs

but in fact the next morning we found

them

close to a tree and the mom was super

sad because she lost the baby so we took

back the baby to the mom

and put them back in the little

[Laughter]

the hole family of puppies

and they're searching for milk all the

time

how many we got seven

seven babies

and no we're not taking any on the boat

are we no sadly

i'd love to take this one i'm sure it's

a good

dog to be an explorator on a bait

[Music]

i'm soon having enough of this boat work

can't wait to go back in the water

get in the water the boat and me

so hot and sweaty but we are making

steps we finished the anti-fouling

yesterday

uh yeah we can see the end we've got

what is it wednesday thursday we've got

today and two more days so pretty happy

about that

it's always a good uh moment when you

pull the

the masking tape off the water line

means the bottom's finished

so here we go

come on baby

so here i just vanished for the third

coat

the the wood floor

so i'm waiting it's drying

and yeah as vernon said i'm

also waiting to finish all this job i

started to be

quite tired and it was quite exhausting

to do

all of these jobs in the same time

having the the right timing

for painting waiting it's dry doing

something else

in between yeah i really hope we're

gonna be

all ready for friday

the boys are actually working vernon and

our friend diana

first go using the polishing machine

gonna see how

the boat looks after that we've sanded

it with uh

three different grades of sandpaper down

to pretty fine

now put polishing compound cutting

compound on here

i'll give it a crack see how it looks

it's definitely not going to be an

awesome

shiny freaking super yacht look but if i

can get it a little bit smoother i'll be

pretty happy

looking good

[Applause]

those of you can remember uh the video

we did before we left here

i took the propeller off this flexo fold

propeller because there was too much

play

and so i took it back to europe and and

send it up to denmark and they've fixed

it so they've put a

actually a whole new outside on it the

inside core

is still the same and then they've

re-glued it all in there i guess so

it was sort of a new product then and i

guess i've learned how to

do it better but i'm reinstalling that

and also i got i got

new blades

just because i felt we weren't going

fast enough with the blades that were

original on it

i was doing about one knot less for the

same revs as i was with the

previous propeller and so after talking

with flexo fold

they said you could try it so now these

have a one inch more pitch or

well i don't know if it's one inch but

they're more pitch so it should give us

a little bit more speed

so i'm gonna try these so donna what's

all this

this is uh we call ramadan

food uh

actually one time years so all the

people

especially muslim people is making

this kind is to

celebrate the end of ramadan yes but

family and yeah

thank you very much for inviting us

you're welcome very very nice

all the food made by family yeah

wow we got here chicken

eggs and beans green beans rice

rice cake rice wine sesame

biscuits yeah and

crunchy super crunchy

super tasty sweet not salty

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

uh

[Music]

yeah today's the day well not actually

the day but it is the day

now what i mean is the boat is finally

moving

uh the tractor's just come to pick her

up

shahelian's ready and uh yeah she's

getting lifted up from the back here

and taken up to the front to the jetty

basically to the ramp

and i'm going to leave it there for the

day because the high tide

has already been this morning there's

only one a day here so and i'll give it

a good wash down and do last checks and

then

tomorrow morning early on the tide

she'll go in the water and we'll be back

again

so happy it's uh i just hate being on

the hard to be honest it's just

boring and hot and dusty and

it's a necessity it's just a necessity

fixing the boat but actually

it's the worst part of owning a boat

yeah anyway

it's been hard work but she's looking

good there she is in the background

tractor's coming

[Applause]

they're posting pictures of the vote

yeah i'm doing stories

instagram yeah happy to see the boat

moving again

yeah and i think shishi she's super

happy

she we're super tired to stay in dry

garden she wants to go back in the water

do you like the new look with the blue

yeah this color is super beautiful

i'm sure the fish gonna more follow us

now

and we're gonna be faster oh yeah super

fast

for sure

[Music]

[Applause]

okay

[Applause]

okay guys that's the end of another

video thanks for watching hope you

enjoyed it

as you saw uh the boat's back in the

water and from now on we should be

pretty much doing videos

yeah water and sailing related uh real

good to be out of the boat yard

like to thank the guys at madonna bay uh

real cool

crew they looked after us pretty well

the

ladies at the sailfish cafe fed us twice

a day and um

yeah i want to say thank you big shout

out and definitely recommend

madonna bay to any sailors in indonesia

like anything you know working on your

boat can be trying at times and getting

hold of

certain items here in indonesia is also

a bit tricky but as long as you're a bit

prepared beforehand and got your paint

hold and all that sort of stuff it's

it's completely durable here

how did you find the boat yard

experience

yeah it was great kids i think if you

can do

your own job on your boat like it's a

good place to work

yeah well the local guys were fine

helping us too

it's just not a real sailing uh

community you know so you gotta tell

them what to do but

they're really good and it's pretty

cheap labor so it's not too bad we had a

couple of really good guys helping with

us

i said in the last video i'd tell you

about our plans for this season and yeah

we'll just give you a quick rundown

because as i said also we don't really

know but the one thing we do know is

that we have to leave indonesia

you only get three years importation on

your boat here

and if you stay longer than that it's a

very very expensive

and it hasn't been changed with covert

times so we have to

leave indonesia the only place we can

really do that

at the moment is timor leste malaysia

and thailand are sort of out

i mean it's possible everything's

possible but it's a real expensive and

long process there

australia's the same it's four thousand

bucks quarantine

two weeks i don't think marie could even

get in there so

uh that's sort of out papua new guinea

and

solomon's the same nothing going there

philippines nothing going so

they are the countries that are around

us and timor lester it used to be

indonesia it's

it's just in between two indonesian

islands and we're not allowed to enter

there but

we can just basically pay an agent we go

and anchor for two hours

he stamps us in stamps us out and then

we go back to kupang

and check back into indonesia and get

another three years

so that's our plan it's about

750 miles from where we are now and

totally against the trade winds so it's

not ideal

but it's doable yeah we'll stay on the

north side of the big light of ireland

so there won't be swell

and it probably just means a bit more

motoring than we would like

because there'll either be no wind or

wind right against us so it's not ideal

but

we'll make the best of it and uh yeah

what do you reckon

good plan yeah it's probably the best

plan

and i'm quite happy to know we're gonna

spend a bit more time to explore

indonesia because i think it's

in this circumstance with all the kovid

it's a super good place for us we still

are

able to visit some other islands and we

have many things to see still here

so i'm quite happy yeah that was

that that's a good point um it gives us

another three years and

there really is so much more to explore

here the whole sulawesi possibly

kalimantan

sumatra triton bay

the whole of the north part of papua

that we i just sailed quickly past so

i hope you are going to enjoy another

at least another year's worth of

indonesian videos i'm sure

you won't get bored because we're going

to look for new places new adventures

we don't like just staying in the same

place and doing the same thing so

yeah that's basically our plan and uh

well

obviously we're making videos so you're

going to be along for the ride with us

and uh

we'll see how it goes and especially you

patrons that are

helping us actually do this obviously

your contributions and uh just your

support

and and comments and all that are really

really

important and valuable to us and uh

yeah we really appreciate every uh

dollar

and every email and every comment that

you leave so

thanks very much for that and uh you

want to say

it goodbye

see you next week same place

see you next week same place bye
