Poem is such a cute little boat I do hope you can make it work for the benefit of the channel and don't spread yourself too thin. Good to see you drinking a decent beer for a change LOL Old Spec is a favourite of mine

@nikafrost2775 2 года назад

Amazing and EXCITING times. Please make sure you ask for help when work that is “Everyman” styled work presents itself. Sanding, varnishing, maintenance etc. Love your Channel, take care of yourself. Nick and Kathi

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Will do, thanks Nika.

@pfalzgraf7527 2 года назад

Well, after all this, I find your good mood pretty exciting! Apart from this: Poem is an exciting boat and your ideas for changes, to me, sound pretty exciting! I totally understand your ideas and I am with you in the opinion that what’s on there is probably not the original stuff, anyway. At the moment I don’t see me coming to Canada. But who knows, perhaps I’ll be over there before you get to Europe … never say never! And if I do, I’ll be happy to spend a few days helping to do work on any of the three boats you care for.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Wouldn't it be cool!

@TillerQueen 2 года назад

I think your plans are really great and very exciting! I especially love the little focsle cabin up forward which would be very cosy. Like you I think you need to balance the history and the heritage of a boat but also make sure they're livable and appropriate for modern life. It's a fine balance but you've definitely got this one, down I think. My own boat is the same thing; balancing the respect for a 1904 Dutch barge with the facilities and comfort that modern life affords. I'm really looking forward to watching your progress.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the kind words. Your barge sounds lovely!

@jamesbennett5421 2 года назад

Maybe an apprentice shipwright could be induced to live aboard Poem and, in exchange for Lodging, assist with projects, let you film, etc. Regardless, interesting plans, looking forward to seeing them become reality.

Wow MV Poem is so neat and cosy and in great shape overall I think the plans you have layed out sound like good improvements and will be exciting watching them take place. The idea of Air Bnb and that of being able to help you out with the restoration/modifications is awesome. I hope to visit Canada at some point in the near future and would love to stay aboard Poem in a magical little harbour as you described!

@Madiba100 2 года назад

I think Poem will be a lot more practical when you have finished the refit, exciting days ahead. I think she needs trimming, definately down at the bow when underway - is there ballast that can be moved? I am sure that there will be a lot of innovation in the near future in terms of batteries - don't fancy the idea of Poem's cabin roof becoming a solar farm though.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

The windlass, 300 feet of chain and heavy anchor will be reduced. Solar will be on the aft cockpit canopy.

@davihar 2 года назад

while I don't know how exciting it would be I wouldn't mind coming over to the island to lend a hand. A sister nearby would put me up/put up with me for a few days. I'm NOT just saying EXCITING or not just to get a t shirt. Honestly. Maybe

@patrickcwillis 2 года назад

It is exciting to hear your plans for Poem. Both MV Geordie and Poem are such beautiful boats.I am glad they will continue to be taken care of. I grew up with an old fantail trawler built in 1915. Vintage boats do have a special personality and need to be cherished. Thanks Peter!!

@davidbaumer1724 2 года назад

Peter - boats live, breath, change, and have history. Poem's future rest in your hands. She is a fine boat, a page of yachting history, and now a member of your family. She needs love, attention, and respect. Find a balance that keeps her ship shape, puts your character into her history, and allows her thrive in todays world; then pass her on to someone else that will do the same. Observant folk that watch your channel see your influence and love in her already. Keep doing what you do, steer a course of integrity, and don't give any energy to the haters out there.

@billverlander2500 2 года назад

Old speckled hen is fantastic. My friends dad loved English beer and I hope you enjoyed it at a cool 50° F as the English do lol. I think maybe offering people to come and help work on poem might be an exciting way to make income for the boat. I'd pay to come help you as long as we drank beer and sang songs at night!

Well, Peter, you said some of your plans might be controversial, it should not bother anyone-- it's YOUR vessel no one else's. The thoughts you shared seem to me to make a very interesting vessel. Looking forward to your endeavors on all 3 boats over the summer, make sure you make time for cruising. lol

@MarcelEling 2 года назад

Is is a really nice boat. Nice idea to make a b&b of it.

@theodorecharles635 2 года назад

Poem is a gorgeous little boat, but it certainly does need some serious work done on it. I hope you can make it work somehow. Job #1 would be a bathroom. It must have been brutal trying to live or cruise on it like that. Yuk. Another big improvement should come from getting rid of about 200+ feet of that 300 ft anchor chain. Should trim out a lot better and get the nose up. The extra chain could even be used as ballast in the lazarette.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Or just swapped with the 100 feet of chain on Geordie.

@ivarmichelsons7413 2 года назад

Exciting plans for your gaggle of Monks

@webbtrekker534 2 года назад

All your future plans for Poem are very exciting. I like your proposed new layout. I'd keep as much anchor chain as possible. Some of those Canadian arms are really deep and all rock. I like that the shots appear to be all color coded.

@kiwi_welltraveled4375 2 года назад

Could the chain still be shortened and replaced/extended using rope to reduce space and weight? I don't know if the winch is set up to handle different materials. Alternatively, if I remember correctly didn't Peter say the chain was too heavy for what's required, sell the current chain and use the proceeds to purchase a lighter more suitable chain...... 😀👍💙💛

@webbtrekker534 2 года назад

@@kiwi_welltraveled4375 I understand but my reference was to the many inlets that litter the BC coast that drop hundreds of feet to an all rock bottom You want the weight of the chain added to the weight of the anchor since there is, many times, no bottom that will allow an anchor to dig in.

@markoneill2819 2 года назад

Peter, one day hopefully I’ll drop of a few cans of Gold Speckled Hen, you’ll love it. All I need to do now is plan an exciting trips to Victoria.

@johnvititoe6051 2 года назад

Wow! I love it, love it LOVE IT! Have you given any consideration to a HYBRID power plant? You mentioned diesel-electric. You are an amazing character, Peter. Every average guy would LOVE to have a friend like you. And you’re right about Lloyd, he is one in a million…unbelievable, actually.

@kiwi_welltraveled4375 2 года назад

Love the idea of going electric, possibly hybrid??? If you were to modernise the propulsion system to electric, wouldn't it be "exciting" to go the whole hog and do away with the rudder and current propeller. Replacing it with a small compact 360 degree swiveling thruster....... Just an idea, like you, dreaming of what an ultimate Poem would look. As always Massive Respect from Aotearoa, New Zealand. 😀👍💙💛

@This.Here.Channel 2 года назад

I really love how I can live vicariously through your youtube channel, and experience the cool changes you're making. It's exciting to see the potential in things, and then to bring them out (I'm a visual person, so I especially liked your videos where you would show them on your computer).

@ruthandred 2 года назад

@pepperjake44 2 года назад

It was exciting to tour MV Poem and hear about your ideas to make the boat better. I owned two boats (23 ft sailboat and a 25 ft cabin cruiser). I found I was able to keep up the maintenance of both boats. The problem became spending equal time on them. Though I preferred the sailboat, my better half preferred the motor vessel as it was easier to operate and entertain guests. Sadly I sold the sailboat last year. However, I still get my sailing fix by crewing on a race boat and teaching disabled veterans how to sail. It’s a win win for me (but I do miss owning my own sailboat).

@je6017 2 года назад

Very keen for buddy cruising. My spouse and I are always keen for an adventure and living on the Isl means we are keen to explore boating more.

@lnewbyliveca 2 года назад

Re-power with a Beta 14hp hybrid, the motor is a generator when you want it and an electric motor when you want it

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

I actually don't like parallel hybrid. To me it's the worst of both worlds. I like a dedicated electric motor and a small genset.

@2stepinfool 2 года назад

I am excited about the planned changes to M/V Poem. Are you sure you want to change the position of the electrical panel? Seems to be in a nice position to me, and not rewiring the boat would save time and cost. Nice re-engine plans, but I think a 3 cylinder diesel electric hybrid sounds like a great idea for the next 50 years. I'm looking forward to seeing the future of this boat. And maybe a Bed and Breakfast might want to use it during the summer season and take over the rental with payments to you for a fund to support Poem. Well, I'm sure you've thought of that. Cheers!

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Thanks Kenneth, the electrical panel was always going to move, I made the wires long enough. It's not going far.

@duanemiller5606 2 года назад

Go electric with lots of solar and put a generator under the bench seats in the back. This way if your batteries start to get low you can just start up the fossil fuel generator to produce electricity to either charge batteries and/or run the electric motor. There’s actually an electric catamaran that basically runs on the same principle it has no sails and is basically designed for island hopping however for longer oceangoing trips you can run their generators that will both power the electric motors and charge the batteries up so you can keep going without having to stop and let the battery charge.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

That's the most compelling option.

@landyman918 2 года назад

I am looking forward to seeing your progress with project I personally would keep the engine as is then fit a Beta engine when needed.

@kevincrosby1760 2 года назад

Perhaps think WW II submarine... Size electric drive motor for whatever top speed based on prop and the boat design. Go with a diesel GenSet big enough to run the motor at top speed PLUS charge batteries. If you need to be in a hurry, you can be. If not in a hurry, run whatever speed you want to and let the GenSet lope along to keep the batteries topped off. Having been in the Straits a few times and seeing what the weather can change to in a very short time period, I am a BIG fan of the ability to "be in a hurry" heading back to port or a sheltered anchorage. Have you considered making the work surface in the forward berth able to hinge up, to allow installation and use of a basic head? Nothing fancy, just a "place to sit" for those times when you would prefer to be very near the wheelhouse...and the radio? Just a basic lift the counter top, open the cabinet doors, and take a seat.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Electric motor and genset is surely the way to go. I considered the hear forward but am happier with the planned layout.

@bootybandy 2 года назад

Some good and exciting plans in the future for Poem. Looking forward to it Peter.

@jimcampbell2168 2 года назад

@richb313 2 года назад

Great ideas Peter but just stay with gas or diesel for the engine electric can never be there unless you can solve the problem that fuel tanks present.

@roryconiglione9486 2 года назад

@bashaldermans3311 2 года назад

Great plans peter! I would love to buddy boat sometimes if you have everything sorted out! Keep up the great work. And cheers

@sstorholm 2 года назад

I think a diesel-electric setup would be the best route for near future electric motorcruising, as you could reduce the battery capacity vastly by keeping most of your energy as diesel (or methanol as the shipping industry is heading). It also alleviates the range anxiety problem, which is something I at least barely can cope with in a car, never mind a boat.

@brianhook8655 2 года назад

An exiting episode love from NZ

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Thank you Brian!

@braithmiller 2 года назад

@joncounts9674 2 года назад

I find your new project with Poem so EXCITING Peter! We really love your show,we live in the Gorge in Washington state on the Columbia River,and have a motor vessel we fish in!

@warrenjones1446 2 года назад

Exciting idea for the fo'c'sle: Place the bunk going port to starboard with a hinged or removable center section to allow easy access to the hatch and the chain locker. Mount a folding table for the workspace on the back of the bulkhead where the helm station is located. Keep up the great work and I love the videos.

@markfisher8206 2 года назад

New game . review all the comments to pick out the word of the week. Got it! Ok I admit it’s not too challenging or exciting.Really Peter do you have the TIME and the cash flow for two boats? You will now have two holes in the water to pour etc.The air B&B is interesting but there is lots of work involved on a daily basis. ( changing linen) etc plus regulations plus insurance issues etc.I think for example Victoria has banned air B&B’s in the inner harbour? I know our local marina did after two wild parties. Anyway sorry to be a negative ninny. Lloyd is a great guy and it is an exciting future lies ahead cheers BOL!

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

Valid points, The AirBnB plan is on a private dock up the Sunshine Coast.

@AlexStaddon 2 года назад

I can't help but wonder if Poem being so pared-back and basic might be more of a draw to some guests? They'd be more inclined to visit or stay aboard because there aren't the modern-day distractions. Just you, the boat and the water (even if you don't leave the dock). Just a thought. Nevertheless, it's an adorable wee thing and I imagine you'll work out the future life for Poem over time, and she'll continue to please people for years to come.

@brucella71 2 года назад

@admeyer777 2 года назад

I've heard that there is a new technology coming out next year for your engine,, it's an Ammonia technology I think it's technically a solid state hydrogen motor or hydrogen cell.. keep an eye out it will be coming to a store near you lol.. China also has a hydrogen cell coming out this year.. So energy and it's storage is nearly solved good luck and great channel..

@skookumjack 2 года назад

That's some serious work and spondolacks Peter! How exciting! Could you tie in using the vessel as accommodation and have some folks/interns with the skills to set about this project ( thinking sv seeker). Anyway, I'm liking your ideas on the refit..... I for one would respectfully suggest the interior is completely gutted and rebuild from the sole up!

@fonhollohan2908 2 года назад

I think your ideas are awesome especially the idea of a extended roof like a fantailed yacht and lowering the sole is an absolute... Which would suit that boat bigtime. And Yes, the helm needs to be moved for sure..lol I'm sure with a bit of effort you will figure things out no matter which way you decide to go. I wish you the best in your endeavors, and I totally agree with the changes one hundred percent, I think there well thought out, Peter, Cheers.

@bostonpaulmakes6927 2 года назад

Man, in my head I went another way thinking about the engine. Before you talked about the Beta Marine engine, I was picturing an old one-lunger. Not so practical for guests I guess.

@seawaatty 2 года назад

The new boat project is very exciting! Congratulations, I can not wait to see the progress you make. Electric is the way of the future. A repurposed tesla battery coupled with a 4000 watt DC inverter generator might be an option to explore.

@jonnyd5106 2 года назад

Perhaps the priority should be to fit out Poem asap. This will generate income for you quicker as an air BnB and as interesting video content.

@jonnyd5106 2 года назад

You may see more growth for the channel, as a viewer it’s good to see a project get done within a reasonable timeframe, and to have a conclusion. Not a never ending perhaps one day scenario.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

It's also a much simpler project.

@HyperionMV 2 года назад

A few thoughts. The electric conversion idea is by far the most promising from a viewer engagement point of view. It will draw new viewers and not anoy existing viewers by forking your boat work to a third boat without a clear delimeter. Outfitting it with solar or even doing some cross vlog polination with someone like Will Prowse would be good for the channel.the Air B&B bit would likely work nicely as well once you get the head situation sorted. As far as the Great American Loop is concerned, that is a great idea since you can trailer it over more asily and cheaply, that said, you will enjoy the trip much more in MV Jordy.

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

@linrepboras 2 года назад

Sounds to me You spent quite some thought, even before adopting Poem, which is - as you always are, atleast sooner or later - a wise way to approach such a gift. The lady (Poem) is not only something to put on the shelf, she's demanding, requires love and care - as you said. The BnB could be a way to approach it, question is: Use existing (internet based) services or via the channel (and mouth to mouth): Pros and cons either way. Been following You since Geordie was on Geordie I'd say You go for the latter. The easy way gives you more work, maintainance, repairs, etc. hours spent Geordie and You need for a few dollars probably just making it go even, The hard way - being the easy way - taking on crew willing to work on Poem as they join in cruises and your beers. (Minimum requirement is bringing local brew before even stepping onto the railing). This would - from a subscriber and viewers point of view be fantastic. As a matter of fact, feel very tempted..

@harryhart6572 2 года назад

You might want to check out Electric Tollycraft on RU-vid. He is close to your area and been running electric for a couple of years.

@vintagetinrandykehler4824 2 года назад

I totally get the electric concept but I'm also a bit of a vintage purest. Would you need to cover the house with solar panels? My feeling is it would really effect the vintage esthetic of the boat. What are your thoughts? Regardless It's still a very exciting prospect!! 🙂

@TravelsWithGeordie 2 года назад

I agree, if the boat gets panels at all they will be on the cockpit canopy above eye line.

This thing is going to eat you alive with carrying costs, maintenance, and storage. Your channel has been successful by doing what you've been doing all along. I'm roughly your age and we seem to think alike. I sense both optimism and exhaustion in this video. I remodel houses. If somebody gave me an interesting house that needed updates I would feel flattered. On the other hand I don't really have the time to commit to another project. Could I let some young apprentice tradesmen stay there and fix it up while I film them and upload RU-vid videos in an effort to offset the cost of property taxes, maintenance, and materials? Yeah, no. That would take literally half of my available time. And all of it is spoken for right now. I'd offer back Poem to the original owner explaining my lack of time/bad timing/getting too old and the simple fact that it will be a perpetual money pit like all boats ever made. He will decline and insist that you sell it. Nobody ever had a problem donating to you in the past. He is no different. Use the proceeds to speed up progress on Geordie because, honestly, progress feels slow to me.

I wanted to add a few things. Poem can still have plenty of value even if you sold her. If Poem stays local you can revisit and film progress on future upgrades. The new owner would have a huge head start on their own RU-vid channel, for sure. That adds value to the boat. Unless you're financed some other way, anybody can estimate the donations to this channel and plainly see that owning 2 wooden boats is not economically viable for too many months. It would have to earn its keep quickly. The opportunity is there make it all happen, but the stress of it all will shave years off your life. This is the stuff for young resilient folks. Find a young buyer.
