So glad you enjoyed this one and glad you enjoyed the natural sounds. Varnishing and cleaning Northern Dancer V is my therapy, so it is great that I don't ming doing that work. ha. Oh yes, the cutlass and transmission are fine, that sound is from the GoPro, when it is attached to a part of the boat, it doesn't record a very good sound at all. :)

Thank you and she will be back for an appearance soon. :)

So glad you enjoyed coming along for this trip. I use Epifanes and my recipe takes 12 coats to complete, so not recommended if you don't find varnishing therapeutic. ha. I was 6-7 years in on the varnish with our last boat and it still looked good, that was with some top coating in between those years.

@@lifeislikesailing Thanks Alfie for the heads up on using Epiphanes. It’s not a varnish finish I have yet tried out. 12 coats wow that’s a lot. I just finished refinishing the woodwork on deck on my boat. I applied 5 coats of Sikkens Cetol marine. Mind you 2 years ago I applied 4 coats after stripping all the old finish off back to bare wood. Not a job I wish to do in a hurry again. I am sure, over the next 2 years of so, I probably will have to give it a bit of a touch up here and there. A friend of mine had his toe rails done using Epiphanes, I think they applied around 8 coats but alas on the stern it has failed. I am not sure what went wrong. Ahh boat maintenance, it keeps us busy for sure 😁.

Glad you liked the video, sadly I had faulty mic issues this trip.

I'll see if I can, that varies year to year based on projects on the go of course. :)

s/v Northern Dancer V is a 1979 Hans Christian 43 Ketch. :)
