Hi we met you in Phoenix NY we hope you have fun and safe travels!!
Hey! It was great to meet you and your family! Maybe we'll see you down the river!
Love the new look of bottom paint. Let’s hope she floats and takes you to your dream voyage. Until next time. Stay safe cheers 🍻
Thank you very much!
Your boat looks awesome! So much hard work to get it in shape. Looking forward to upcoming vids. BB
Thank you very much!
When you had the fittings out,why didn't you paint the hull?
We did the barrier coat and then thru hulls on that coat... They won't adhere to the ablative.
The Boat is looking Great. Thank you for a Great video this week. Still raining 🌧 here. But should have a Great sunset 🌇 tonight. So have ya'll hit the Atlantic yet? Are ya'll going to be at the Annapolis Boat show? It is a Great place to meet other Cruisers and TH-camrs. A Great way to grow your channel. Just a thought. Ooo! And when you splash and you are under sail ⛵️ and the wind fills your sails ,The smile on your faces will take away the time on the hard. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers 🍻
Thanks Bill 🙂 thanks for watching and supporting us! Hope you didn't get washed away with the rain tonight!!
Hi Sarah, Chris and Will. We met you on an Island yesterday (Teri and Larry)! Excited to be following your adventure.
It was so nice to meet you guys!! Thank you for subbing!!
Because they used a Polyester resin back then. It is cheaper than Apoxy Resin. But if you can sand all of thim out and put on a Good Apoxy Barrier coat paint, It should help stop the blisters. Thank You so much for your video's. It is a Great thing to take us away from some of the things on the News lately. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island🏝 of Hawaii🌋! Cheers 🍻 and Aloha
@@kptbillburkett8735 I'm glad our channel can be a positive thing to watch as a break from the alternatives... I appreciate content like that too. And yes! Hopefully the barrier coat and apoxy patches will be a solid repair for years to come.
Bpat work. It's a struggle but, it pays off in moments of peace sailing. Keep living the dream
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe cheers 🍻
@@korhan-charlotte9171 cheers! Thanks for watching!
She’s going to be a nice boat for you ❤️
Thank you! We think so too
U 2 are Awesome! Great episode. Looking forward to yr next phase of work. Cheers!
@@brucehartnett8709 thanks Bruce!! Cheers!
Just remember after you are back in the water 💧 all that Hard Work well be a Memory! A hard Memory but just a Memory. And the smile 😃 on your face after it is all said and done will be Worth all the hard work! Thank You so much for a Great video 📹 this week . And can't wait for the next one. So until next time, I will be here on the lanai ready for the next video 📹 Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻 and Aloha
@@kptbillburkett8735 cheers and thank you for always being there!! See you on the lanai soon I hope
Can't wait to see ya'll here on the Big Island. It will be so cool to see ya'lls sails on the Horizon. Now remember ya'll have a place to stay when ya'll get here. 😊@@turtlecrossingsailing
Can’t wait for the new episode…
@@andrewmckay7404 see you at 7:30!!
Sorry I missed the show… my alarm did not go off to remind me…
Looking better already
@@andrewmckay7404 thanks Andrew!!
The end was a very true to life sharing moment. More work then expected and your home is unlivable.
@@simondeboer6035 absolutely. A much bigger challenge than anticipated for sure..
Yo Turtle crew. Great job yr doin. Look forward to yr next phase of work. Cheers!
@@brucehartnett8709 awe so glad you enjoyed! Cheers
Happy 4th of July. Now for your bulkhead at the Anchor ⚓️ looker I would us Star 🌟 bord. It is a very dense fiberglass bord . You can get in two colors. Black or white. And it is paintable! And it comes in 1/4 or 1/2 or 1 inch thick and in 4 by 8 feet sheets. It is very strong and it want Rot. And you want to sand down the the barrier coat. But after you sand it down that far. I would paint on two coats of New Barrier coats thin if you can put on Copper coat. Now if you can't put on Copper coat. Then you can do what I did and use a hard bottom paint and add Copper to your pair. It well last about 5 to 6 years. It worked for me on my Boat 🚢. Ok hope Ya'll are having a fun day and can't wait until next week for a New video. Until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Stay tuned my friend! We take her right down to the bottom and start over!! Thanks for watching. See you next week! Cheers and aloha!
Thanks for sharing. I believe hardest part is sanding. Once you’re done with that painting is the easy and fun part. Keep up the good work guys. Best of luck.
Thanks a bunch!! The sanding was really a grind 😅 cheers!
No way I just came across your channel... I've been looking out to the lake from our Hamilton condo balcony and seeing the sailboats around. I've been a fan of sailing and wanting to buy a boat of my own one day. I'm more than sure I've seen you and your boat.
Amazing! If you were living that close to the boats I'm sure we've seen you around 😊 we highly recommend the boat life, it would be ideal for you too because you're steps away from the docks. Cheers
@@turtlecrossingsailing oh I'm not that close I'm just that high up hahaha 32 stories up. Just off main Street.
Aaaa! The fun of being on the hard and the ton of things you have to do. Ben there done that. And it I s apart of boat 🚢 life. Sorry I messed ya'll live. I was helping a New Neighbor pick up there truck in Helo. It's always a fun day to get the last of your things to the Island that you have shipped from the mainland. It is mid June and it is 2:53 a.m. And I am out here looking at the Moon light reflection of the Ocean. Can't wait to see ya'lls sails on the Horizon someday. Ok Thank you again for a Great video this week. And until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻
You were missed at the premiere! But we'll catch you next time I'm sure. Nice of you to help out a neighbour. And yeah life on the hard isn't exactly a joy but it is necessary. We're floating now and I'm excited to start making the episodes about our sailing adventures. Can't wait to see Hawaii on our horizon that's for sure!! Aloha! 🌺
hope you guys made it out of the yard like you wanted to! nice to catch up on the video 😀
We did!
Thank you, fun video to watch...
Glad you liked it!
See you out there in a few years! Safe travels <3 Sailing Portish
Cheers!! 🥂
How cold is it it? Is it diesel? Is it parafon based? Maybe the fuel is thickening as the parafon congeals due to the cold. Use Non-parafon based diesel.
It was pretty cold. Water temp was likely only a few degrees celsius. Not sure about the parafon diesel...
Great Episode!! Was worth the wait. Cool music. Love the transition for us to spring and breaking out of our cocoons n spreading our wings. Cheers!
Thanks Bruce! Couldn't have done it without you! Hope to see you soon on this end of the lake.
I just subbed! Looking forward to your next update.
Thanks for following along!! Super appreciated.
Did you get your engine fixed? Sounds like not running on all cylinders. Maybe your injector pump or injector?
We got it to a place of working. Changed injectors and did some bleeding of the lines etc etc. starts better now but there is still more work to be done on it. We're babying it for now.
Still watching your channel! Wishing you all the best of luck with your endeavors!
Glad to have you along! And thank you so much ☺️
Just looked at a 32ft bayfield today.will be checking it out next week.wish me luck
Oh good luck! We love ours.
If your VHF has an aux port in the back then you can install a small cheap speaker in the cockpit and plug it in via aux cable. i have one in my cockpit that allows me to hear the radio on the helm even when it's connected down below.
We ended up buying a hand-held for that issue!
Thanks for the video. We really enjoyed it. Hope to see next one sooner. Cheers 🥂
Glad you enjoyed it! There's another one coming next Thursday! Cheers 🥂
I'm nervous for you every time you it's the starter.
We certainly hold our breaths when we do... although we're in better shape now than we were early spring
Way to go capturing the eclipse!!
Thank you! Had to include it.
blue pearl here...bayfield 29 have the same shirt...lol. what engine in there...mine is a gm20
Ours is 2qm15. Lol funny you are a smaller vessel than us and your motor is bigger 😆
Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! How have ya'll ben?
Aloha Bill! We've been working away. Hope you and the fam are doing well!
Yes we are doing great. Just helped a friend move to the Islands. She came out in February and didn't want to go back to Oregon. So she got a house here. About 3 miles from us.@@turtlecrossingsailing
Can you link the conversion kit you purchased? Looking for the same one. Thanks!
Hey, we linked the unit we bought in the video description. We ordered from west marine and since we're in Canada we ended up paying a LOT more in duties than we were expecting. Just a heads up in case you're also in Canada. But all in all we've been happy with the unit. Thanks for watching!
Still a stud Chris. Looking good buddy
😆 Thanks Matt
I have the same boat! What type/types of zincs do you have? Mostly what shaft zinc you have? Brand? Thread? Is there enough room for a shaft zinc?
Hey! There is no zinc anode on the shaft. We have tear drop shaped zincs on the rudder. We were planning on putting a zinc collar on the shaft while it is out of the water but there is not enough space. The tear drops on the rudder will have to suffice.
Lovin' your videos! Ever go sailing in northern Ontario? I'm playing catchup :) We just left our first sailboat that we're gonna be selling- near Manitoulin- and moved to Nova Scotia- big learning curve with our 41' Island Trader :) Curious- if you sail up to Killarney, flit over to Manitoulin, enjoy the beautiful best fresh water sailing of the Benjamins-- and cross over at the Sault and go down the Missisippi? Come back up via the intercoastal?
We've never done anything beyond Lake Ontario (yet). We'd love to sail around Manitoulin. My grandparents had a cottage up there when I was younger and it's such gorgeous water and shoreline. 41' is a lot more boat than our little 32' for sure! Sometimes I think about getting a slightly bigger boat, but I think the advantages of our little boat outweigh the negatives right now... Maybe someday. We're still deciding our route south... we'll probably know better in July. Thanks for watching!
@@turtlecrossingsailing We purchased our 1986 34' Catalina from Midland, brought her Manitoulin and sailed in that area- Little Current and Spanish/the Benjamins and Killarney for about 7 years. Hubby rebuilt the motor, and now it has a new rudder. Two cabin, one bath, L-shaped galley... slightly bigger for ya guys! It's sitting in the Blind River area and not officially listed, but up for sale! She will need new rigging and sails, although they're good for a few seasons we think. Full canvas enslosure- except for the mosquito netting stuff, great cushions-- JUST SAYIN"!! You really have to go to Manitoulin and visit your gramma's old stompin' grounds, it's magical for sure!
Aloha! I bet ya'll are Glad to get out of that "Bubble"😂😅😊! So? Did ya'll get the new engine or rebuild the old one? ( Just one sec,got to get some more Ice Tea. A bit warm out here on the lanai ). Ok 👍, when do you start heading south? Amd Getting to some warmer waters. Where snorkeling is a every day thing.😅😂 Ok Thank You for a Great and exciting video. I mest it Earlier today. Had chores to do. Yes even in Paradise we have to take out the trash and wash the dishes and do the laundry. 😂 Ok until next week, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! 🌋 cheers 🍻
Heya Bill! Engine episode is coming up next 😁 and yes we are very happy to be out of the bubble... But now we're on the hard doing boat work so, "out of the frying pan and into the fire" 🔥 we will be leaving on our big journey in June if all goes well! hope you are enjoying the beautiful Lanai!
So glad you are following your dreams and plans.😊 I don’t know if that was a bladder for your water or not but if so I strongly advise having a plan to put a sturdy tank in if u want to sail on the ocean, they will leak at some point. Never give up😊👍🏼
It is a water bladder. We will have to see if it holds up 🤞🏼 but if not we can always switch back to a hard tank. And thank you for watching!! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing cheers.
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hey great episode. Made it to spring yaay! Look forward to yr adventures. Cheers!
Thanks!! We made it through.. now just gotta get through the boat work 😮💨
Awesome… to see the winter season on the boat… it was a pretty tame winter but I guess the wind would have been cold and damp… just think this coming Christmas in the Bahamas.
Can't wait!!!!
Cheezy youdles ain't any good without kessup an parsam cheeze an some choclat milk. Smarten up mommy. Lmao Can you tell my kids were spoiled by my wife.
That sounds pretty decadent 😆 I wouldn't say no to that. My son would though. Lol he likes it straight up.
@@turtlecrossingsailing lol
👍🌈
Thanks for the awesome drone shot!
@@turtlecrossingsailing I can take and share more if you'd like
nice video
Thanks very much. And thanks for watching!
Grew up on the Bay of Quinte, but it's a different perspective from a sailboat. Very nice.
We're heading back that way again before we head down south this fall. Looking forward to exploring it more leisurely this time!
What a beautiful moonrise. Thanks for sharing. Made me homesick for Lake Ontario. Hello from Nelson BC
Hello! Thanks for watching 😊
I wished I was closer. Thanks for showing how it (Plastic Wrap) done
Thanks for watching!!
Yoho Turtles. Great episode. Time lapse always cool to watch. Glad I can help to be part of yr adventures on the water. Cheers!
You're a good man Bruce. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the time lapse. I like them too 😊
Awesome video on the boat wrap… sorry I missed the premier last night I checked and did not get a notification of it… I am guessing that it is getting close to removing the bubble and re-stepping the mast and getting ready for some test sailing….
Hey! Sorry about that. The episode didn't finish processing until late so the premiere was at 10. I was thinking it was likely too late for most of our local viewers... Thank you for watching though! It is very close to unwrapping time!
ALOHA from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Aloha Bill!
