I love “your coming too” 😎💗⚓️
Small confession, I am jealous as flip. I mean how much more envious can I get watching you have a great time with friends and fish and also be able to drink as much ocean water as you can collect. But here's the killer, you did it all yourselves. Bah, humble....love you guys.
The joy of vacuum sealing. 🦭
Now doubt princesses need to be pampered! Deserved!!
As soon as I watch you open that electrical panel I knew we were kindred spirits!!!
I wonder about some of my rats nests, but know I feel part of a brotherhood!!!
Love your water project, excellent.
You two seem like such a happy couple.
The life you have is being presented like a beautiful dream. Thanks for the video.
Well met. One more or Four more projects off the list.
Living the dream!!!
Tip- get yourself a plant mister, fill with fresh water. Spray over yourself and then turn on fan. The cooling by evaporation is divine...kept us sane in hot climates for many years. We have the same watermaker,now 25 years old and still working like a charm.
I am the guy who did not like Redaviva at first, but I was totally wrong it was the right boat to build and she looks so good ,a real little ship and everything can be fixed or changed with the right tool.This is sail boat haven.
Thank you for sharing.
Those Grouper Nuggets was the real deal. They looked so good!
Ruthie, you are a princess and I think there's about 76000 of us that think so and Garret, you always treat Ruthie like a princess. It is so much a pleasure watching you two interact. Always stay safe!!!
We all know Ruthie's royal status! LOL
Quite a few of us said 'you are' together with Garrett i am sure!
Ruth is way more capable than a princess.
I can’t say how much I look forward to Thursday. I sit on my porch with a cut of coffee and a cigar and watch your travels. I am always saddened at the end and long for more. You guys are the perfect compliment to eac other and your vessel.
You all ways have that perfect blend of build, repair and travel to keep this 72 year old sailor entertained.
I have been watching you guys since the “beginning” and will continue for as long as I last. Stay safe and sail on.
I'm 57 and just like the build process, but am sticking around for this channel because they are so great. Another one you might like is Acorn to Arabella. They have a great build going on for some time now.
It will feel better when it quits hurting!
Girls don’t sweat, they glisten Ruth!😂
All the fish looked nice and the fishnuggets so delicious... greetings from northern Denmark, where I sit and dream myself away...❤May the sun always shine on you... 🌞🌮
"Daim" those grouper McNuggets looked awesome!🐟🤤🤤🤤
Well done on the watermaker install.
Warning: I ran my watermaker for 10 minutes with the raw water sea cock closed - cooked my impeller!
Suggestion: 1. Run the watermaker for 5 minutes without making water everytime you turn it on. This prevents you from making smelly water caused by stale/old salt water that was standing in the piping.
2. add an automatic freshwater flush to the watermaker system. Easy install and not expensive. Rainman sell them. It flushes the RO filter with freshwater after you make water and then weekly. It means you can use the watermaker intermittently or even leave the boat for months without needing to pickle the system. I have operated like this for years.
I found it very amusing that you built a whole damn boat, and still get excited that your water-maker worked - gotta love the enthusiasm!!
Nothing like a fresh water shower on Deck
Heads up on the brine. Mine was plumbed into the sink through hull. My through hull was bronze. It corroded to the point that on last haul out while removing seacock the through hull broke off. Could have sunk the boat. I believe the high salt content had something to do with it. I now exit brine through its own plastic through hull.
Hey, just wanted to say I love yall. People keep asking about my Salt and Tar shirt and I always try my best to sell them on this great channel that goes from the snow pact north pacific to the subtropical in just, well, a little over a half decade. I have watched great building Vlogs that don't know how to transition into great sailing Vlogs and great sailing Vlogs that struggle to transition into building Vlogs. You are the benchmark in my opinion of going from a building to a sailing Vlog. Your boat was built for purpose and you are starting to live that purpose. Congratulations!
Paradise, cooling fans, fresh water, solar hot water, food, fresh caught fish, beers on sale. The life.
I hope the enteral workings of the one way check valves are made of materiel that the salt water will not corrode or deteriorate over time.
That fresh fish made me drool on my iMac keyboard.
🤣🤣🤣
that fish looked amazing! Great job. How cool making fresh water from salt!
Double double ! AND super duper grouper nuggets ! I tried to leap through my flat screen to steal some yummies !
Nice work on the water maker. That's a game changer.
I don't normally like breaded foods but those nuggets looked amazing.
I am hungry now, thanks grouper 🎉
Fresh fish, fresh water . . . Life is good for Salt & Tar.
Congratulations! Just a point on using water makers, on the seagoing tugs I have worked on , we never ran our water makers inside of three miles off shore. There is too much stuff, crud etc, in the water near land and it gunks up the machine. We use reverse osmosis water makers. Hope this helps
Happy wife, happy life!
Garrett when you opened that nugget i swear i smell it looked great love to you guys Dave uk
The fish nuggets looked really good.
If you are suck sealing dry goods you might want to chuck a desiccant packet and/or an oxygen depleting packet. One keeps it dry and the other kills anything that might have been in your raw materials.
Bon Appetit !
Groovy video....That's all I got today for ya.
As a 'Old Age' Reenactor, I'm just glad the stuff you do isn't any part of my job description.
Grouper doesn't grill well, but, you can soak it in milk, then wrap it in foil with butter, lemon, garlic and herbs, and bake it on the grill. Or just pan fry it in lots of lemon, garlic butter... Then you can wash everything up in nice, FRESH water!
Excellent vac-seal program! Reseal and go!
Another great episode thanks. That fish looks really good
Cool 😎 fish looks yummy 😋
Well done its way above my head carry on . Allan from Lameroo South Australia
Way to go on the water maker! We made our own due to a little budget. Ours puts out 37-40 and hour in warm water. Maybe we will see you here in Mexico next season. We are in Mazatlan right now. B3 safe and thanks for the videos.
A great feeling to know you are able to make fresh water at any time. I hope your added fittings and check valve don’t affect the rated flow rate through the water maker due to additional back pressure as well as being a source of leaks into the boat. Any easy fix when the correct fittings are available. We used a shower bag for many years in the Great Lakes and found that it heats up better if it’s laid horizontally on the deck (black side down). You are living a great life! Have fun.
Woop woop great work!!
Happy Wife Happy Life🤩
Yessiree…Power & Water(Maker) very important for Cruisers👍 Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎
Congratulations
WOW !! Your Highness got 2 Fans in the cabin.
Man! She’s beautiful. The Tex Mex Pirate is super sweet as well. That make it three fans in the cabin 😂❤😂
Thnx for beautiful pictures this ep. 🤘
Awesome
Grouper nuggets...sounds good to me!!!
I just made a big batch of sonorous. The pickled carrots you find at all the taco shops in California. I don't think these need to be refrigerated but possibly could be filled in your vacuum contraption.
That nugget looked so goood!
Great episode! Thanks
Great job with the water makers Garret, congratulations. And the McGrouper looked marvelous too.
How about a Kurash burger? Killing Sealife is NO way to live on the ocean. They have just had a failure of love and respect for the earth...you too I guess.
@@savannaswildnatureworkshop7810must be nice living in your own contrived world that only works on paper while passing judgment from that armchair.
Watching you guys living your dream is heart warming.
Pleasure to watch two exceptional individual's doing what they enjoy. Awesome, thanks for sharing the recipe to life in Mexico.
Now all we need to do is locate spaghetti junction... under there somewhere. ♥
When your IBF4500 Lignum vitae wears out try Australian Buloke with an IBF of 5060. 😉
Your ability to make fresh drinkable water is huge, congratulations!
Fish nuggets looked good
Those fish nuggets looked delicious, can go flour- egg- crumbs not as messy(less egg used), but egg-flour-egg crumbs might give them a bitt more creamy taste, can cut down on the egg with little bit of milk in the egg mix or some yeasty beer or just dash of water when really low on eggs/milk... but they would have been amazing for fish taco Garret style , I'm taco'ing everything these days after seen how easy you guys do it... love the journey be well..
Those fish nuggets looked delicious. Congratulations on completing the water maker insulation.
I haven’t watched yet but thought I’d say thanks now for what I’m sure will be geat ep
Love fresh grouper
Well done! Goodonyas! Agua clara por favor!
Awesome!
I might have just run the two separate small reject lines all the way to the sink. It lets you see whats going on and the small tubing is easier to route. In any case, this has to be a happy moment - if you have to find harbor every time you need fresh water, it can put a cramp in your style. 😊
Or up and out the back 🤷♂️
Not an ounce of two things. Sailing and B roll. Absolutely beautiful. The WATER MAKERS!!! And fans!! WOO HOO!! A sailing channel with a side of building. SO PERFECT. Aaron?!?! Heyell yeah on the MASSIVE Grouper!! Hell yeah!! Way to go bruh! Man that's living!! LOVE IT, Ruth. Mad Edit!! One of the very finest so far. Spectacular!! 💯💯❤️
When did this turn into a food channel... Arg! now i'm hungry.
You guys eat some good food! I live on toast and jacket potatoes and I have a huge kitchen.
Well done
Cool clear water, that water maker is going to be handy and those fish nuggets looked delicious, had my mouth watering !
I just bought a 12 volt ice maker and 12 volt blender for margaritas and smoothies.....you should too especially in Caliente Mexico
Great video !
Great job on the installation of the water maker.
Those fish nuggets look very tasty! Thanks for taking us along.
So glad to see you get water, and redundancy too. Going to look into this system for terrestrial and portable use. We land people can only dream of fresh mostly unpolluted fish like that -- realize you are blessed even though there may be hard times -- most of us Patreons would gladly cut off a finger to join you.
I am so grateful and it’s been well worth all the hardships 🥰

A mechanic and a good cook to boot. Somehow, the two go together🙂
The only concern for T'ing the reject lines is impedance on the out flow when using both pumps.?
Great one! Now for the beer maker! :)
Love it keep it up as always 💘
Yes happy wife happy life you two are amazing young couple love watching your channel I would love to do what your doing but I am to old and wore out plus I get sea sick very ease keep doing you and be safe out there in these crazy times 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍🌹🍷🍺🍺🍺
Wow! What a game changer. Garrett you are a engineer. Trust me. Please be safe. Best wishes to both of you.
You need two of those freezers.
you rock
I love how the narrative used to be like, ‘I’m gonna run this hose thru the bulkhead right below the deck framing’ and now it’s ‘I’m gonna run this hose right between the half eaten bag of chips and these cans of soup’
Food savers suck...
Wow, two fans for Ruth.. You spoil her.
The boat becomes a little bit more complex each day with all the plumbing and electrical systems being added. They day I would not look forward to is the day when things stop working and you can't remember what is what and it all just looks like a mountain of spaghetti. If you're not creating detailed documentation as you install these things, someday you'll wish you had.
That’s the beauty of building it all yourself - you know EVERY system because you built and/or installed them all. ✌🏼
@@chrisincalifornia From personal experience I can state that even though you did it all yourself, in time you will forget what is what. He was scratching his head for a few minutes when it wouldn't work until he remembered (or had to check, we don't know) that he forgot to connect the negative terminal to the battery and that was within a day or two?
As an engineer who's built many systems electrical and mechanical, and written thousands of lines of computer code, you will forget what you did in time. Happens to everyone, and the more you do, the more you'll forget. The longer a system works the more time you spend away from that system, and the more you will forget.
Experienced engineers/builders know to make good documents, especially of the electrical systems.
As a retired marine engineer I agree with you.
Man I was already tasting that fish then, you took it away! lol I was leaning closer to the screen even. Gratz on getting the water maker going.
I can feel your excitement to get going!
It might seem convoluted but if the water maker works then is is a good job. Thank you guys for the video.
Can you concentrate the brine and make your own sea salt? 🙂
So happy for these glory days for you two.
Great video, as always. Fish nuggets looked so good, you guys made me hungry. And I just ate! I look forward to your story every week. Best wishes to a lovely couple living their dream!
Loving the grouper nugs
9:31 lol so a 3rd under the table pulling cold air from the bilge should be just as easy
You guys have knocked it out of the park again. great work on everything Garrett, great work on the video Ruthie!!!
Those fish mcnuggets made me salivate like pavlov’s dog! 👌🤭
grouper looked great --- maid me run to get some
