    Raising alpacas is the loophole to build a house on land, where you normally couldn’t. Nice to see you all again 😂👍👍

      Thank you - yes indeed, I think some people are only happy when they're moaning. 😀

      Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you feel some value in it. Good luck if you decide to go ahead. Live's for living.

    Dont worry about the negative comments.
    We're all enjoying watching your journey.
    I've recently moved to the coast and bought a sailboat so i can understand what you're going through.
    Totally worth it, though.
    im not as good with the videos as you but I'll persevere, those who like the vids are welcome to subscribe and those who dont will naturally move on but as i said, don't worry about the negativity, they're not living your life and remember, you only get one crack at it.
    Enjoy every minute and keep going, we're loving your vids.

    Welcome back (plant killer) 🤣. I'm here for the boat renovation but what is happening in your life is all part of your journey, so do I mind that content,? Not a bit. Keep on keeping on and ignore the negative keybaord warriors. No one is forcing them to watch, so pay them no mind. Thanks for sharing, - looking to see how you get on in 2025.

    • @SavingBlueSteel

      We wish - we’d be sailing a bit closer to the equator if we could 😄 - thanks for watching

    Life’s too short to be busting your arse just to keep paying out. There are better things to be doing and enjoying life. We’ve done it too. No regrets. Looking forward to getting to know you both a bit better and following your new journey through life. No problems with an eclectic mix of boat, life and work. I’m here for the long term if you’ll have me. Good luck to you both.

    • @SavingBlueSteel

      It definitely is, and it's so easy to find yourself in a loop consuming days of your life working and not living. Welcome aboard - glad to have you following.

    Best of luck to you both! You have taken on a massive job , but for all the right reasons. I have seen several prophets of doom in these comments telling you you are wasting your time, money and effort, but I would love to see you prove them wrong. Of course this is not a financially viable project,but that doesn't mean its not worthwhile. I am no expert, but as a former ship's engineer I know that with a steel vessel everything can be repaired, even if you have to replate the whole hull. You will probably wear out several MIG welders along the way! And even when you are only 75% through the project that boat will look absolutely gorgeous again! Just look after your health....

      Thank you for the kind words. We definitely took her on thinking she was a worthwhile project.

    Yeah, British winter…….. Probably the same as Dutch winter, but wetter…. 😂
    Thanks for the nice update, much appreciated! It’s very much inspiring watching the ease, from my view, you guys are committing to all changes and battling on! 2025 is going to be a busy year for both you and us! I wish you the best of luck and strength to pull this off as we’re basically doing the same! Thank you! 😉

    You've more "stuff" to sluff off my friend. We lived on a boat and raised a son for two decades, and the discipline of living in the confines for a 60 foot boat you'll find rewarding.

    • @SavingBlueSteel
      @SavingBlueSteel  11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes indeed - I think it's a work in progress. Slowly culling our belongings and decided what's necessary and what's not. Just as long as I don't have to get rid of my tools 😏

      I know - not quite sure how we're going to do it yet 😁

  • @sheldoncrane3588
    @sheldoncrane3588 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Depends on who/what are the rats, human/small mammals, what type of race physical/political and if you beat the human/rat in the race is there an actual award or reward for competing against other contestants seeking the same outcome. And if rats are anything like lemmings I'll bet my money on the cliff. Now if politicians could organize and enter in the latter I would cast the only vote worthy of casting.

    Please turn up the audio a bit….

    • @SavingBlueSteel
      @SavingBlueSteel  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Sadly I applied a filter as the audio in my office was echoey because it's now half empty. I didn't realise the audio level went down and the sound quality was awful. Hopefully I can correct on the next video.
