Aubrey, looking back to that icy grounding when you set out on your first sailboat up in New England YOU HAVE COME A LONG LONG WAY!!! Your highs, your lows, your far-flung travels, your growth, your role as a single mother, your many new friends met along your way, your increasingly better and better choice of a man to share it with (hang on to Squirrel), your ownership and restoration of all the sailboats in your travels, all of the sailing experience & certification and so many other personal accomplishments I know have you in awe and make you proud and thankful to your God and your fellow travelers touched by you. You have much much to be proud of!! Keep it up Aubrey!! Now that you have christened "the pirate ship" not forgetting to include offering adequate bubbly to Neptune, you must think hard of a name for this floating gem - a name that will encompass your past and your future aspirations. "Gone with the Wynns" chose "Curiosity" and it fits for them, but what will fit for YOU?
I've followed you since before those domestic dark days and would like to say, I admire your determination and inspiration. You deserve every ounce of this moment. Its a beautiful boat and a beautiful achievement and would like to say well done. You've worked hard for this, you go and enjoy every moment. Good luck. Time to go find that green flash.
27 years ago, i sold everything and bought a cal 34 at the jersey shore. i ended up living on the boat for 2 and a half years.so watching your videos brings back great memories. ty for your hard work on all these videos. those of us who are stuck inside during the pandemic appreciate both of you and. all the work you do. thank you again
Thank you for sharing . These thanks come from a contemplative hermit in the Himalayas , who was born and brought up near the sea and consequently misses the sea and sailing , living for so many years in the mountains . Sometimes , when the sim connection works ,i try to get a connection to a sailing channel and i thank you for yours ! Your stories travel far , even to the Himalaya .
What a great day to splash. Washington born and breed. Those kind of days are kinda scarce and when you get them they just seem extra special. Can't wait to see that incredible boat sail!
I am very happy to see you have your Pirate ship in the water. Your happiness rubs off on everybody. Can hardly wait to see more of your videos thank you very much. from Lansing Michigan.

its amazing the amount of people required to achieve such a feat , such a beautiful community . Nothing beats the sailing lifestyle and the people in it . congrats on the splash :)
Wow that is one massive undertaking. You've have done so well to manage the refit definitely not for the faint hearted. I know did our 50' ketch myself its been huge job.

Request: Next time describe what occurred with your shaft leak. And quick description how you repacked or tightened to stop the leak. My son and I are Power Yacht owners 50' Hatteras, and we are familiar with this being a fear of many vessel owners. God speed, Loved your beautiful launch day! Woooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
This is my first time commenting but I have been watching your videos and I just want to say congratulations, it makes me happy to see that you've finally made it. You have yourself a beautiful boat take good care of it. I wish you smooth sailing.
Glad you got that crack at 9:45 sealed. Good job. Much like aircraft I would be more worried if I didn’t see any leak at all. Fairwinds and following seas.
Congratulations you two!! What a way to get your feet wet in the New Year! Great video. The only part I hope to learn more about since us wannabe sailors are so inspired by you...... is. After you put her in the water, it seemed you had a major problem with leaking from propeller shaft? OMG, That seems to be a major problem especially the first time in the water; but you did not explain what happened, what might of been overlooked and how you remedied it?? We really want to learn from you! You were ok, as later on near dusk you were christening her and enjoying champagne! But please fill us in on what happened. It certainly looked scary! Thanks so much for sharing your adventure with the world. Looking forward to where the adventure in the pirate ship takes us all!!
Such a huge project. You are amazing. All the great people to help. Is it Ken? Grey hair funny guy. Whats his channel? Audrey is so bright, brilliant and obviously stunningly beautiful!. Your eyes and voice melt my heart.
