When Mads put the last task over to the finished column I felt a little heart broken and excited at the same time ....it was a lot like the feeling you get when a child graduates ...you know they're ready but you'll miss them for being all grown up
Kinda sad.....feels like the end of an era. I've been watching this series for years and can't believe how far you both have come. Now is the time to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work!!
Brilliant episode really enjoyed seeing Ava on her journey to Ikea...! The beds turned out great!! Your both amazing ppl!! Excited for the next journey... Thanks again for sharing your lives with us and Fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
You guys need not apologize for a rushed video. Your videos are better than most even when they are rushed or short. So please keep putting out great content. Safe travels!
You two are treasures, as are each of your videos. Planted seeds take time to germinate but I'm confident you two are shaping the skill sets and attitudes of many future voyagers. Congratulations on arriving at your departure with a fully found ship.
Wow! Ava is a "keeper"! She is going to replace "Rick Steve's Europe"! Sail Life is such a great channel, I am going to have to binge watch it from the beginning at least once EVERY year! Once in Ireland we EXPECT to see you "clogging" down the streets!
Well done Sail Life..! As usual! Perhaps, I agree Eva is quite lovely...and fun to listen to...but selfies always have lower grade sound! More B-Roll with voice overs would help when roaming through the cities, then we get to see more of it! Cheers and have great sailing!
Assuming Ava is good with shooting selfies (not many takes), they may require less work than more editing and voiceovers. I like the selfies, voiceovers don't capture the mood or energy of the moment.
I'm a Merchant Marine, and I've used the Iridium Go! It is good for phone calls, and sms type messages only. Sending pictures? Good luck! Can't even send an emoji. Can't wait for Starlink!
You young kids. :) That's not so slow. I started out using a teletype for programing and it was 300 baud. Then I upgraded to a 1200 baud modem. That was heaven :)
Ava, you go right ahead and be American! Americans that get to the station early are Super Spiffy~Do, for sure. You’re a wonderful Ambassador for all Americans!
Living in rural Michigan we have been plagued with terrible satellite internet providers. We got Starlink this spring and love watching Sail Life in 4K now 😎
Excellent job with the beds Ava, your begging to outdo Mat and he’s been at it for years. Brilliant job people keep up the good work I learn so much every time I watch your channel
What an awesome thing you two have created for yourselves, and a charming couple as well! I’ve enjoyed your refit and look forward to following along on your adventures. Thank you!
Great video(as usual). We spotted Athena (looking very spiffy 🤩) moored up this evening as we headed home from our boat, so I’m looking forward to next week to follow your journey from Cherbourg 👍🏼
You two rocked this video. It is amazing that you two found each other and I am so looking to watching your adventures sailing, while I start my "somewhat extensive refit" on my 38 ft Bristol Aleron sailboat. Lets just say its going to be "Sail Life" , "Sailing Uma" and "boat works Today" project. I can't wait to meet you two in person, we have such a one-sided friendship.
I enjoyed the video and Ava's since of adventure to IKEA. Mads clearly explains the pros and cons to each item added to the boat, it certainly makes researching far easier. Safe sailing to Ireland. ⛵
Great video as usual. Athena is looking good and it shows in the quality of both of your hard work. I can’t wait to see the cruising videos as I’m sure you’re both ready to get underway. Be safe and well and happy sailing. ⛵️🌈🌞
I enjoyed this video and it didn't seem rushed to me. All your videos are top notch and I wait every week to see the next episode. I do wish the videos were a little longer .But I'm addicted so I'll be waiting for my next fix of Ava and Mads. May you have a very nice sail to Ireland, be safe .
That's 2,5 hours by train and an extra 30 minutes by tram and some walking. At that point, renting a car would make so much sense especially when you need to bring two mattresses back the same route.
Ikea - great for boat stuff!! We bought mattresses to cut up, stainless oven pans, stainless pans, small wok, all sorts of kitchen stuff etc. BTW enhance the comfort of your beds with an Ikea memory foam topper :) - we did
If you plan to be sailing and living on board in hot places I suggest installing 10mm or 20mm thick closed cell foam on the ceiling to greatly reduce the heat in the boat. Sticking and screwing a batten frame allows you to add a finishing cover. In my boat in the subtropics I put in 10mm foam, left a 10cm air gap then finished with super light plastic wood planks. The untreated areas are red hot in summer, while the treated areas are actually cold to the touch.
Hey Mads and Ava, Love the video. I enjoy the tour of Brest and also all the DIY stuff. I hope you don't feel obligated to fill each video with projects for viewers. One project a week is more than enough especially if it is well explained as you have an amazing talent for finding expert ways to approach each project and deserve so much credit as a "how-to-do things-right" channel. Love the comparison review of Iridium Go and Garmin. You guys are now a double threat and I hope you will enjoy sailing, enjoy cruising, exploring new harbors and new worlds. I remember when you asked Andy at "Boatworks Today" for advice and now he just talks to the camera while you guys are a thousand miles ahead of him and the best source for advice. I've learned so much from you Mads. Wish you the best. Fair winds.
Mads &Ava GodBless and be Safe hope you did Toast to King Neptune and ask him to help with the Winds . Can’t wait to see some Real Sailing. Mads you Did It Sir what a Great Job . Peace BeWith YouTwo. Mads how is your Dog 🐕 doing?
@@roberttorres809 BTW the best food I ever had in my whole life in a restaurant is a steak in Ålborg Denmark, the second best is a New York steak in Mobile, Alabama. There is no number three.
When are you guys going to varnish/paint the cabin/head doors? The cabin is beautiful, but those doors are an eye sore! Stay safe on your trip Ireland. God speed. Can't wait to see you again.
Looks like that aft cabin overhead will finish out nice with floating ceiling panels covered in vinyl. I imagine you'll save that task until you are ready to do all of them through entire interior. Whatever you choose I'm certain it will be pretty dang spiffy.
Mads and Ava, I have been following this channel since the early days of Obelix and Jökel (sp?) and have admired your work and attention to detail. Athena is a work of art but one thing is making me crazy… she needs a boot stripe! Just sayin :). Looking forward to your continued projects and adventures!

Me too - now not much DIY to watch
Not to worry. It looks like he's still has a few more boat repairs to do once they get to Ireland. Like the aft cabin etc.
The sailing class going by at 13:40 made me smile.
Kinda sad.....feels like the end of an era. I've been watching this series for years and can't believe how far you both have come. Now is the time to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work!!
Don't need to be a patreon to see ya, right now you're on the river Fowey, off the corner, across from the Fowey aquarium 😁
A Michigander and a Dane is unstoppable power, zest and drive.. Congratulations.. what an accomplishment...
The view in your last shot of you saying "See You" shows a darned good looking boat. Wish my house looked that good.
Brilliant episode really enjoyed seeing Ava on her journey to Ikea...! The beds turned out great!! Your both amazing ppl!! Excited for the next journey... Thanks again for sharing your lives with us and Fare winds and following sea's ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Well thank you so much for watching :)

Awesome Ava segment! Pretty awesome when the dinghys with green sails went whizzing by! Fair winds on your way to Ireland!
What!!! NO Glorious sanding in a video. Good to see you getting ready to sail once again. Enjoy.
You young kids. :) That's not so slow. I started out using a teletype for programing and it was 300 baud. Then I upgraded to a 1200 baud modem. That was heaven :)

The leaf-cutter ants in the background were fun.
That Ava’s a “keeper”! What an adventurer and hard worker!!!
Ava is more than a good egg, Mads, I’m sure you appreciate her.
Living in rural Michigan we have been plagued with terrible satellite internet providers. We got Starlink this spring and love watching Sail Life in 4K now 😎
Greate episode - Love the ballet of the Optimists in the background of Ava’s cutting time-lap. Good Luck with the crossing!
Thank you :) Ha! Didn't even notice them!
We are all looking forward to lots and lots of (cross out DIY) SAILING fun.
Wishing you fair winds and we'll see you next week.
I just found this channel. I really like the style of your interaction with the camera. Very natural and fun.
Rushed!? I loved the Michigan flair tone of getting it done. Thanks for sharing it with us.
WAsn't rushed, just full of checklist items. Well done.
Good for you. Happy and fair sailing. See you on next video.
Thanks 👍
I love the line..."a slightly more manly version of knitting". Have a good sail, look forward to your videos from Ireland.
Excellent job with the beds Ava, your begging to outdo Mat and he’s been at it for years. Brilliant job people keep up the good work I learn so much every time I watch your channel
Safe trip to Ireland. But nice to see you call in at Wales 🏴 .
What an awesome thing you two have created for yourselves, and a charming couple as well! I’ve enjoyed your refit and look forward to following along on your adventures. Thank you!
That is so nice of you to say. Thank you :)
Great video(as usual). We spotted Athena (looking very spiffy 🤩) moored up this evening as we headed home from our boat, so I’m looking forward to next week to follow your journey from Cherbourg 👍🏼
I see Athena is just outside Fowey tonight
Excellent Sunday spiffyness well done Ava for the amazing journey x
Thank you!!
It didn’t feel rushed at all. Good video. And we have to say that we LOVE Eva. A great addition. Thanks for your videos. Jan and Ron
Thanks so much guys :)
Safe passage guys!
I'm here for the sailing content but strangely found myself enjoying the trip to IKEA 🤣 Another great episode, thanks.
Love watching the projects and adventures. You both have very cool eye glasses 🤓. Thanks for the content.
Thank you very much 8)
You are probably on your way. Hope it is smooth sailing and you are having fun. Looking forward to Ireland.
well done ... enjoyed it, Ava ... showing us the 5kg on the mattress was brilliant as you wrestled it over your head😀🤣
I'm very excited for you both. May you have fair winds and following seas. See you.
Thank you so much!
Very nice episode for sure....safe travels and will be waiting to see the night passage.....John

Hi, have fun and fair winds on the next trip to IRELAND .😊
I enjoyed the video and Ava's since of adventure to IKEA. Mads clearly explains the pros and cons to each item added to the boat, it certainly makes researching far easier. Safe sailing to Ireland. ⛵
Starlink will be a game changer!! We received ours two months ago.
We love it!! It’s amazing !!
fair winds and following seas!
I have to admit: your wife is a very positive addition to your channel. Good luck on your voyage...
Great job with the mattresses,...l knew you'd grab some extras! Haha
After all that hard work prepping, Have a good voyage to Ireland.
Looking Pretty Dang Spiffy Guys!!!
Great video as usual. Athena is looking good and it shows in the quality of both of your hard work. I can’t wait to see the cruising videos as I’m sure you’re both ready to get underway. Be safe and well and happy sailing. ⛵️🌈🌞
Excited for your trip to Ireland! Ava is absolutely inspirational…always giving us new ideas. (I enjoy those trips!)💕💕💕😎
I'm with you. Super early is ALWAYS better.
I enjoyed this video and it didn't seem rushed to me. All your videos are top notch and I wait every week to see the next episode. I do wish the videos were a little longer .But I'm addicted so I'll be waiting for my next fix of Ava and Mads.
May you have a very nice sail to Ireland, be safe .
Now that's what I call determination. To travel 2.5 hours one way just to get a mattress. 👍
That's 2,5 hours by train and an extra 30 minutes by tram and some walking. At that point, renting a car would make so much sense especially when you need to bring two mattresses back the same route.
Good luck on the sail to Ireland

I admit, I am behind schedule. But this was, once again, one super interesting video with both of you!
Enjoy your trip and I cannot wait to hear all about it !
State of the art sailboat. Nice job guys. Cheers from Paraty, Brazil.
Nice episode, stay safe and fair winds Matz&Ava👍💪
Thank you :)

Well done !!
Fair winds ⛵️
That unvarnished door ……. 😊 perhaps in Ireland . Fair winds safe journey.
great week thanks for taking me along
I hope you enjoy Island as it's very pretty
I don’t know where you are headed in Ireland but if you go to Cork don’t miss Kinsale. It is our favorite place in Ireland. Wishing you good winds.
Have a good sail & loads of fun. Cheers.
Have a safe trip! See you made it to the UK already passing St Mawes Castle : D
Great video love the new mattress - looking forward to seeing the lee cloth setup
Thank you! Hopefully coming soon!
No longer “Good Old Athena”. Now “Nicely Renewed Athena” 😀
congrats on finishing the tasks, it's been one heck of a journey :)
Getting lots done on one entertaining episode 👍
Thank you! It feels good to get things check off the list!
Another great video, guys. Enjoy your trip!
Hi Guys, Fair winds and following seas to Ireland
Bravo sailors !
Good video, thanks for sharing 😀
Sail on
Cheers
Ava, you have a lot of my daughter-isms. I love it. 😊
Happy sailing ,stay safe
Your videos never disappoint! Makes me want to go to Europe and hop on a bullet train and go to ikea and eat some Danish food….
IKEA is NOT Danish!
@@kareem8533 Be easy and stop frothing at the mouth! If you look at the video, Ava states that it’s,” like”, Danish food.
@@roberttorres809 Well, I didn't want to hurt anybodys feelings, I just found it hilarious.. Once in Texas, a girl claimed that Volvo is German.
@@roberttorres809 BTW the best food I ever had in my whole life in a restaurant is a steak in Ålborg Denmark, the second best is a New York steak in Mobile, Alabama. There is no number three.
Nice sailing.
When are you guys going to varnish/paint the cabin/head doors? The cabin is beautiful, but those doors are an eye sore! Stay safe on your trip Ireland. God speed. Can't wait to see you again.
Tell Ava that her short hair style is Cute, in the beginning credits and introduction ,also when sailing short hair is more preferable for care 🌬
Looks like that aft cabin overhead will finish out nice with floating ceiling panels covered in vinyl. I imagine you'll save that task until you are ready to do all of them through entire interior. Whatever you choose I'm certain it will be pretty dang spiffy.
Mads and Ava, I have been following this channel since the early days of Obelix and Jökel (sp?) and have admired your work and attention to detail. Athena is a work of art but one thing is making me crazy… she needs a boot stripe! Just sayin :). Looking forward to your continued projects and adventures!
Safe passage you guys! 🇨🇦
Good voyage to Ireland! How about a Beertasting (Guiness and a Beer from Denmark). CU🤞
Knitting is the fastest way to travel ...
I get on a plane, pull out my kni ... oh we’re there already?!
Exciting... leaving tomorrow.
