S2E44 the LAST of the boat projects on the hard (Dominican Republic) 

Really enjoy your use of ambient sound.

Thanks!

Servicing winches is always a messy pain. And there's all those little parts that want to jump in the ocean. Using too much grease on the winches can trap saltwater and cause electrolysis. The first couple years I thought more grease was better, then learned to use as little as possible. Finally after a few years, I settled on using synthetic oil, like gun oil or Mobil 1 car oil. At the end of a year, even with much blue water sailing, the oil would still be in place, providing lube. You're gettin' there Nicole. Good job!

You've done soo much to get that boat into the water and going. Can't wait to sail her with you. :)

Hi there Nicole, my day one on board with you and I am already liking you in how you go about your project and I am just little over 5 minutes in to what you have to show rhe world

We love your can-do attitude! ❤

Radical!! Go you………… a real heroine!

I can’t wait to start watching selling again 😊

These boats are endless work. Some of it is rewarding I am sure.

I am so impressed with how much you accomplished in such a short time! Nice work.

Wow … that’s a big list of recent projects. As an old man, I’m tired just hearing the list. ✅⛵️

Nice to see you smiling after a job completion.

You got this girl

The problem with trying to spread those flanges is they kept springing back into their old position after Dan removed it from that pipe. In the amount of time he did all that hammer hitting you could have taken a small torch heated up those flanges as it was around that white pipe to keep it spread . Heating it on the pipe makes the metal take its new 'shape' and more importantly cooling while still on it, keeps the new width intact. Then remove and install. When it comes to metal work Heat is your friend !

I’m so excited for you.

It's si impressive to see a woman do all theses tasks on her own!❤ do you miss Amy ? She also did so much. See you next week😊

Sent some dollars via PayPal just now. Awesome boat!

Happy Splash day

Well done!!.....

such a productive video!! Great job

Water bladder will work for awhile until you can figure something out out. Good luck! Happy sailing

Loving your channel here in NZ 🇳🇿. You've done so well on the refit and maintance of your lovely yacht. Can't wait to see it back in the water and some sailing adventures. Thanks so much for your videos. 🍻

Life in general and boats in particular do that to you. Well done for dealing with it as you did! Very much enjoying following along with your refit.

I think a good cry is healthy. I believe it’s been shown to release chemicals that build up in the brain. Glad you found a solution, you are inspiring!

You have proven to yourself that you can overcome anything!❤.

Well you are certainly getting there. Chin up and just think of what you have achieved and achieving. Not far from the splash and going on the 100 day trip. Enjoy as we totally enjoy watching your life adventure unfold.

Almost splash time! Hooray!!!

I no it's part of your frustration 😞 and work, 😭 it's hard watching you cry, glad you have help 💗 now with that, 🙏 God bless, have fun 😊

Your amazing. Inspired 🎉

Artha is almost there! Goob job.

Good work just take your time to look at each thing you do so its done the best you can..

So good to see you so close 🙏

Nice 👍

Hang in there Amiga!

As this is a "job done" vid these are just suggestions for others doing this. I believe Nicole's idea of "Adding heat and bending" was spot on. Brute force and bronze can equal breaks or cracks especially in more colder climes. I may have heard wrong but if the reinforcement was just thickened resin when you are adding resin for strength you need to use fiberglass as well. It is my understanding that resin with powder alone will be great for bonding but not structural. A great way to see this is if you let a layer of resin and powder dry in an ice cream container, pull it out and break it into shards by hand. Add glass, especially woven, and it's completely different. Not that you asked but with that job in particular (if it was just a powder bog so far) I would, skuff the entire surface, place plastic milk bottle tops over the nuts, lay 2 layers of dual bias 400 weave about 300mm wide, (what that in old measurements 1foot?) and whilst still wetted out cut in to expose the bottle tops without going through. When set cut tops out of bottle tops to expose nuts. This would not sort out the lack of strength taken away by having removed the Y shaped steel previously. I think this was vital as the force from the sail puts uplift on the bolts through leverage on the sprit. I would think that would need a similar steel backing plate reinstalled with the bolts going through it, but as a "for now" when underway, glassing would at least reinforce that area.

Well done. Youve come so far.

You're almost there !!!

Checking in, one, two…

there are razor blade knives and there are razor knifes, which is the one you want, razor blade knife are more for stripping paint or tape off of windows or doors etc. and are somewhat more dangerous for use especially for wire stripping : )

Great work!

Don't compromise on drinking water. It's a life mecessety.

Blessings...m

Will you rehab that tank, it looked a bit shabby!?

I'm interested to know why you have a charge controller for each solar panel
