Any day where you forget what day of the week it is... Is a good day.
The work/life balance is a difficult line to toe! Glad you guys are finding yourselves again!
Thank you for your excellent navigation footnotes and pleasant narration 😊
Regarding getting 'skunked', it's happened to us all. As the expression says, that's why it's called fishing, not catching. " Cheers.
You guys definitely left California at the right time with the weather they've been having. Hopefully it will still be there when you go back and not washed into the ocean 😮😮
Been watching since the beginning and that intro still gets me... a warm invitation to come along and the music sticks to ya lol. Thanks... I know that it was and is hard work but you all make a midwest boy wanna sail away
8 years. Wow. Time sure does fly.
Coastal cruising at it's best .... enjoy
You 2 are amazing thank you for the inspiration and joy you share
Building Rediviva was a truly monumental project. A feat of human endeavor, love and dedication. It is really heartwarming to see you finally reap the rewards of your efforts.
Love your editing Ruth. Thank's
Always cheer me up. Thanks so much.
I think you guy's need to install a Windlass and maybe hide it under a Timber box 😁 😁 so no one can see it lmao 😁 😁 The push of a button to Retrieve the Hook makes sense 😘😘😘
Garret and Ruth had the anchor foul on something after a Cyclone came by where they had anchored Rediviva and after a lot of hard work trying to recover the anchor and chain, Garret had to let go the chain and abandon the anchor with a buoy attached to mark where the gear is for a diver to recover it sometime in the future, so they had to sort out the stern anchor and the rode (thick Rope and a short length of chain that doesn't fit the Winch that they already have, if it was all Rode it would fine on the port side of the Winch to hoist the anchor, or if it was all chain it would have been fine on starboard side of the Winch as it had been until they lost main chain and anchor..so Garret and Ruth had to wait until they were able to afford a new length of chain and anchor again.
I love watching you "water hippies"! Not scared of a little work, ready to play. ❤
Glad to see you guys taking care of the maintenance on the boat. You worked so hard for so long to build and make her sea worthy it would be a shame to neglect her.
Hello all from Siesta Key Florida
A low beer light is a terrible thing!🤣🛫
Happy b/day to Redaviva. Can't believe it's been 8 years. You've all come a long way in that time. Now's the time to enjoy the spoils of your efforts.
binge watched from episode 1( shortly after youtube randomly offered you guys up just 2 months ago ;] FINALLY caught up!
I dig that solar cooker. Clean quick n easy!
I'm soo jealous, but then I realised that all I'd have to do is spend a lot of money, rely on the kindness of friends, family and, to be real a fair amount of strangers. After that, learn a plethora of new skills and put them to use, find purchase and in the case of some items, pray for. Buy, beg steal and borrow materials. Spend sleepless nights and long days for years, in freezing temperatures more years in hot weather. Get frustrated, get blisters, get bills, and after all that just keep up the maintenance. Yea, I'm not too jealous anymore. I am however VERY impressed. Long live Rediviva...thanks guys
Thank you for the labels in your videos. I appreciate knowing what land you're passing ro what fish I am seeing. Please keep it up.
Making painting/oiling/varnishing faster: Use brush to do the edges, use a roller (big or small depending on the size of the area) to do the middle parts and use the brush to do the pattern and bursting the bubbles on the rolled parts afterwards. Keep a wet edge (so roll in patches). Brush along the grain towards the already painted area and lift the brush gently at different spots (so that you don't get a visible pattern edge). If you're using a linseed oil based paint especially on non-treated surface, you need to brush over the same spot several times to "beat" the paint into the surface.
At approximately 1:20 in this video I had to do a double take😮 it looked at first glance as if Garret had some whale tail going on. I was in shock! What the … I’m happy to say it was a shadow from a rope casting on your hip. I lmao for a few minutes and contemplated leaving a comment but I just had too. You don’t seem like the type which is why it was so shocking and funny. Good laugh. Love your Chanel !
I anchored there 22 years ago …. Love that crescent beach 😎⚓️
Ya gotta get a drone. The beauty of your vessel under full sail is spectacular….
I love your little "tall ship." Redeviva is a treasure. More work than a mass-produced plastic boat ("Tupperware boat" as Ruel Parker puts it) but so much prettier.
Happy b-day Big Red. 👍👍
always love the out-takes at the end of every show ;-)
What a rare treat it is to get a new episode and find myself again on this strange, unique, hand made amazing looking craft so different from all the glass hulls in their multitudes. Reminds me a little of a kid in school when we could slide on the laminated hardwood hallway floors in our sock feet. Best of all since I watched the build from the keel up and thru all the rope's complex concolutions I get to actuallu understand how it all works. Amazing.
This episode feels like you. It has an honest flow, and maybe it's because you feel more balanced and settled into what your lives are becoming. I really really like this one.
I caught up on Spy’s back issues. They sailed past where I live, on Vancouver Island. I can see why you guys get along, funny similarities. Tell them to post more, and give greets from Vancouver Island.
At 10:57 it really looked like Garret was drinking from the paint can. 😅
Don’t ever lose sight that you built a boat to get to this great latitude!!!! I’m still battling for life in the northern latitudes😂
Hi guys I’m styven from Dublin Ireland I watching all your video on TH-cam it’s so nice 👌🏽. When you guys plan to come Europe’s in Ireland I wait for you here please come one day in the future thank you gods bless you all
I like that solar cooker.
Great video, looking forward to your Pacific crossing, anchored in UaPu, Marquesas, changing your life forever.
Always look for active birds hitting the water. Then fish.
Love hearing Angeline the Baker at about 8:00
Do you guys have a label maker? Those switches are begging for it. ;) You two are so damn cute with each other. Hang onto that. 🤙
Been holding off of this in my mind only ... Sure wish I knew you two when I was young I would of loved your life Know we are friends you just don't know it! Old Navy sailor commenting. TACOS!
This episode is first rate, well done, well done; film makers as craftsmen.
Very cool, guys. Every time the camera pans up to the top of the main mast, I can't help but want to see a little crow's nest up there.
It’s nice that your journey is just beginning and starting to have a network of friends and places. Painting looks good.
Look into a peristaltic pump for salt water. The water never touches any part of the pump besides the Tygon tube, so it's very corrosion proof. It's easy to work on because of it's open architecture and the only moving parts are the rollers. Glad to see dry old Red finally getting some soupy love!
Living the dream
Fun & Work…Life of Cruisers😜 Solar & Water-maker are top 2 boats in Outback…Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎
Can’t believe I’ve been watching you for 8 years
Always a fun second watch. Glad you two are reaping the rewards of all of your work. Have a great weekend.
I've known of painters that would have a paint chip analyzed to be certain of chemical compatibility with new paint.
Looking good haven't seen that tube top for a while.
Losing some paint is kin to MORE SPEED...
I don’t have experience with a water borne rustoleum painted vessel on my tiny house I thinned some paint to let it soak into the wood as a “primer” on bare wood. So far (3yrs) held up far better than the wood primed with primer.
Unfortunately there was only one place for a like and I needed two or three ! I just like the flow. The solar cooker was amazing ! I suppose it would do fish or any kind of meat.
@16:27 those stone formations look interesting
Beautiful video! We had so much fun being there with you guys.
P.s. Love the mirror montage💕
Love the background music.
Garret was able to build Rediviva in less time than I was able to restore the 36ft gaff ketch which I unfortunately have had to sell. I still have to find the episodes about her building.
You two have so much to be proud of, enjoy the journey I'll be always watching 😂
Cool. We spent a couple nights at Camp Cecil on Isla Espirito Santo.
I really loved the little montage in this one. Thanks for sharing. Ruth, you are an amazing editor!
Sooooo very cool! 🎉
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your lives with us grateful for the lesson's you share ..
Each episode is like a gift I unwrap eagerly!! It's truly so good to see you both not just living life but thriving in it!! I don't care if your home looks lived in or not .. I watch for the love you two spread with each episode!!
Such a beautiful place... Happy 8th birthday Big Red... 🎉
✌🏼💗😘🫂😘
You can eat sea urchins, they eat them raw in a cup with chunky salsa in it in Mexico, it's pretty good, you scoop it out with a spoon
Hi Ruth, Congrats to both of you on eight years. Hard to believe I have been watching for 6 of those years. I shot of whisky from Boston! Cheers Bill.
Great pictures on your voyage but wish you would wear life jackets and safety lines when in those rough waters
Yay🎉
Happy 8th Rediviva. That sunset says it all.
Super groovy video. Love you guys and you beautiful ship.
Great video Houston Tx
friends i can't believe your're there. we're hauling out in gueymas for the summer, i smile at each episode because you guys are so real. hope to run into you again.
Taking care of needed maintenance and having fun balance achieved.
You are living the dream good for you guys hard. Work is paying off finally😁🛫
Happy birthday, Rediviva! Cheers to Charles. 🍻
Beautiful film Ruthie! Thank you both for sharing. Blessings all.
Well done
That water looks sooo inviting!😊
I love the solar oven! That is really neat. What was the archer hoping to shoot?
Eight years what a wonderful experience. I'm in Michigan, starting the year building the tent to start my boat build. Picture a safari van, poundtoons & inflatable sails. I'll let u know when I start posting on utube. Thanks for the inspiration.
you two make me :)
I just returned from sailing (a lot of motoring) from La Paz to San Carlos. I'm guessing you'll hit those great anchorages north of you. Enjoy!
That missing paint is called character.
Living the dream!
Great video, thanks for sharing it with all of us. You’ve done it successfully…….you made the transition from a building channel to a sailing channel! Nice job.
You’re a lovely team … balanced and lovely. 🎉
Teak and mahogany are oily woods, you need a good epoxy paint, I have a Grand Banks 36 woody, for bottom I used ACT ablative by interlux its for wood hulls
Awesome sunsets.
Thanks for the relaxing, chill experience. Always a treat!!!
Love it keep it up as always ❣️
A great video Happy birthday Redadiva
loved the birthday interlude sequence!
Just love it guys, you Both deserve it. Keep it up.
Great job on the editing Ruth
The gosun solar cooker Been wanting one of those for a long time oh yeah and a boat too Good combo
My first episode was you guys pouring the keel and I thought WTH are they doing now i know
1. After building the boat, who can blame you for just living for a while. Good on you that proper maintenance is back. You can and will catch up! Just prioritize what is necessary and keep up as good as you can! Boats generally need constant maintenance, wooden boats probably don't need more but more regular work, I guess. Anyway, no harm yet and you are in time to catch well up!
Having fairly recently read Steinbeck's "Sea of Cortez" and having seen some videos about whale watching at the entrance of the bay, I really envy your geographical position! Make the best of it! But keep up the boat!
Once again: good on you for occasionally mentioning the date of filming.
Clear waters are not necessarily where fish are. Good luck - and all around all the best!
It looks like the primer has adhered well but the red seems to be coming off. Some cheaper primers work better with a little coarser profile. Since your spot repairing anyway try several sandpaper grades to see which on works best. Pick 3 or 4 spots and use... say, 80,120,160 etc. Feather the red edges with 120 and an orbital sander. Worth a shot. If the primer is not peeling ... it's doing its job. Good luck. Always enjoy the posts.
Great stuff! Just was splashed at Napa Marina from the Same haul out dock… Last haul out before heading to Cabo in September. Looking forward to retracing some your trails!
