All of us at Winter Harbor Marina thank you guys for the wonderful praise! We really are proud of the work we do for our customers. It really doesn't matter what it is, whether it be the paint guys, the guys doing fiberglass, the mechanics, the metal fabricators, the guys doing electrical work, the guys moving boats, or even the work we do to keep our marina looking great. Tom (the owner) really finds it important that all of us to do the best work we possible can. Quality is very important to us. Thank you again. We're all really greatful to you and all of our customers and for this video.
Thank you! It was great putting this episode together and looking back on the wonderful work done by WHM. We are so thankful we found you guys, and we smile ever time we dinghy or walk past our boat. :D
When you have people who take pride in their work, it gives them a good name, the company a good name and customers like Sheldon who would happily come back for repeat custom.
Another Great job by Winter Harbor. Had our Cruisers and Regal boats stored and maintained by WH for 10 years. Couldn't ask for a better place and great people. Out of boating now, and really miss seeing Tom, John, Leslie, Noreen and the rest of the crew.
I will like to thank you 2 for taking the time and effort to show us the boating lifestyle and all goes along in your adventure, the C Shel II looks stunning with her new paint job and repairs, as a boater myself will wish one day we could do this, you guys have come along ways and its a wonderful to see that its possible when you determined. Great video as always, God bless and fair weather.
I boat in the Puget Sound and Canada and Alaska. More Tollys up here in Washington State than probably anywhere else since this is where they were built. I have seen a couple that had the hull color different from the factory original but I agree with your choice. Hard to beat white. One owner I talked to did his in Navy Blue and it looked good but he did it in vinyls so he could easily change if he grew tired of it. 😊
Paint job looks great..... I am glad to see your happy with the work done to repair C-Shel. I know how much it hurt you guys when it happened but now you are better than before ( cruise on my friends )
Hi Guys, we've been watching your episodes over the holidays, they are great! Anne and I have sailed a 37' sailboat for 15 years before selling our boat in 2017. We sailed in the Bahamas for three years, we are considering a motor yacht for live aboard full time, much like you have done. We would love to chat with you sometime about our plans. Happy New Year to you.
WOW man, you read my mind !! I have to do that kind of job in southflorida and know will cost a fortune and will be kind of shitty ! that yard if cleaner than my house ...
WOW! They did a great job on C-Shel II. How did you find out about Winter Harbor Marina? Its hard to find people who genuinely care about taking care of boats down here in NYC/Long Island and my boat deserves some love this winter. I was thinking of bringing her down to a yard in the Chesapeake but I think I have to put these guys on my short list. How many locks did you need to pass through? While you were there did they do any engine service? Thanks for coming back on TH-cam.
We did some research online and on Active Captain for boat yards good at fixing damaged fiberglass and painting. Winter Harbor stood out with a ton of good reviews and very pleased customers. There are about 22 locks between the Hudson and Brewerton NY. It's a nice trip, but be prepared to make the boat messy, the lock walls and lines are very dirty. We didn't get any engine work done, just cosmetic and running gear. Though we seen them repowering boats when we were there. I'm pretty sure their mechanics are first class. If you end up going, tell them C-Shel sent you. :D
If you do not mind, I have what I hope is a simple question. My line of work allows me to work remotly however I do need solid internet access (I am in IT ). When not at a marina, how do you get internet access? Is it celular or satalite? Any special equipment needed? What are the costs? do you upload videos and such while under way, or do you have to wait till you are at the marinas? Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. Carl
Hi, I recently found your channel and loving it. The paint job was fantastic. May I ask In roundabout numbers what did the hull paint and repair cost? I need to budget and am getting all types of numbers. Thanks!
Was the damage just from the rub rail incident, or was there more damage? I have waxed and compounded numerous boats and it looked like that would have come out easily. Doesn't seem equitable to repaint the entire boat for that scuff mark unless there was more damage.
Yes it was the incident in Hopetown. There were gouges in the gelcoat and fiberglass about 20+ feet long down the STBD side. Along with other areas around the boat from the accident. Most yards that looked at it said it was a paint job. We were just following advise.
Really enjoy your videos. When my wife and I finish putting our youngest through college we plan to get something similar and enjoy some cruising time. If your ever crossing the Okeechobee waterway let me know.
Thanks for a great video...we live in Montreal and we would like to know which insurance you make business we want to go this year to the Florida and our insurance don't aprouve it .Thanks guys!!!
Thanks. We do have a little more info on the insurance aspect of this. You can take a look at the incident video th-cam.com/video/1MRuOk7pTUc/w-d-xo.html and in the description there is a link to a blog post where we talk a little about insurance. www.searchingforcshels.com/sfcs/2018/2/26/hope-town-bahamas-the-details-of-our-accident
You didn't lose a year. :) We are trying catching up to real time. We have our whole last season in the Exumas to publish yet. Please stay tuned. Cheers!
New Subscriber, Beautiful Boat, you Guys have to fix your gear so it stays where it’s supposed to in rough conditions. There are all kinds of ways to fix your gear, just for safety. Come on, I’m a long time boat owner, get your gear straightened out. Stay Safe, wear safety lines at night underway. I can tell you real horror stories. Will be following your videos, THANK YOU ‼️👍⛵️. Vinny 🇺🇸
Well you must realize that this is so far a hobby for us. We love creating videos, but doing an episode like this takes 20+ hours, not counting reviewing all the footage or finding music to use. We are not rich people, and we have to work to support this lifestyle. So that takes up most of our time, between all that we have boat maintenance to do, we have to cruise, and we need to get out and have some fun as well. We know channels who do this full time, for a career even, and they are still months behind. All that said, we do realize being in the moment so to speak is better for us and our viewers, so we've been trying to catch up. We've been trying ways to shorten the editing cycle. In this video you will even notice a canned drop in intro we will start using in all our videos. We have a goal that by the Fall we will only be a few months behind. (Crossing fingers) Thanks for following along, and we appreciate the question and comment. If you want more realtime content check out our Instagram or Facebook. Cheers Friend!

The videos ! I miss it so much !!!... fellow Canadian.
Sorry to hear about your husband. Can't imagine how hard that was/is. We are glad you are watching. Cheers!
Winter Harbour's work is nothing short of amazing. Well worth following them on FB.

That yard does excellent work. Lucky you found them! Happy boating!
They certainly do! Thanks!
Everything that happens is convenient, now a new boat ... !!! great job...
Great seeing Light Keepers Village in Little River in your video. We have spent a lot of time there visiting the In Laws. Great place!
Beautiful! Great to see you guys reborn for new adventures.

We also decided to stay white when repainting.
Gorgeous work!

Boat looks great! Good job Winter Harbor Marina!
Isn't it an amazing feeling to be completely satisfied with any type of contract work, be it at home or on your boat or both in one.

Such a nice work!!! How much this kind of work costs? Thanks
Just started following along! What's the fuel economy with those engines and would you had preferred diesels? Good luck with everything!
Great video and she is looking good, waiting to takes thousands of miles
Thanks! Yes, hoping for 1000s upon 1000s of miles. Cheers!
Excellent video, all great, thank you.
Really enjoy your videos. When my wife and I finish putting our youngest through college we plan to get something similar and enjoy some cruising time. If your ever crossing the Okeechobee waterway let me know.

Wow gorgeous job
Thanks for a great video...we live in Montreal and we would like to know which insurance you make business we want to go this year to the Florida and our insurance don't aprouve it .Thanks guys!!!
We are with BoatUS. No restriction on movement. Before that, we were with Aviva in Canada, also no restriction on movement. Thanks Eduardo!
Great video. Would y'all talk a little about the insurance and or liability on the incident in the Bahamas?
Thanks. We do have a little more info on the insurance aspect of this.

Looking good
Thanks 👍
Wow all this happened over a year ago !?...
Should've with sapphire blue 😆.. but the blue stripe looks great..
We struggled with making the hull a different color, we chickened out. :D
How did you decide on this marina for the repairs.
Wanted the best fiberglass and paint shop close to home. The reviews from here are very positive.
set autopilot and just adjust 1 degree at a time... saves on steering parts
Yep that is a good tip, and I do that most of the time.
That’s my home baby
Where did you stay in Solomons? I’m on the island.
We anchor in the Creek across from the Holiday Inn most times we are there. We have taken a dock at Calvert as well.
August of 2017? I lost a whole year. Where have you been?
You didn't lose a year. :) We are trying catching up to real time. We have our whole last season in the Exumas to publish yet. Please stay tuned. Cheers!
$1.84/Gallon! That’s depressing considering it’s a $1.60/L in Canada.
I hear ya. Sad indeed.
Australia fuel prices $1.50/L
2017?! That's a bit behind :o)
Yes, sure is. We are trying to catch up. Hopefully we will soon. Cheers!

Thanks Vinny! Yes, strapping gear down, we know. Prepare for the worst.
That must have been sad leaving them
It really was.
nice
Beauty 💞💞🇨🇦
you know its illegal to fuel on the water from a tanker right?
Bypass all the taxes is nice but not kosher
We didn’t know that. Are you sure? I think it’s pretty common at that spot. I do believe we paid taxes though.
when are the new vids coming out
Should have one mid next week. Engine issue reveal! Cheers!
Love your channel and you guys but why are you a year behind on videos. I could see a month or 2 but a years that is pretty far behind.
