We Love You! Takes a special person to go it alone on the boat. I was 10 Years in the Keys doing the boat. It's totally worth it. Lots of sweat and tears. But You end up a very humble and cool person🎉 So kick its Ass...You got this!
So happy for you actually ! You really are a tremendous story teller and the boat always was “yours” - your touch and colors and aura ! So own it girl !!!! You got this and we are all here to support you ! You are an inspiration and a beautiful soul! If you ever need a hand on deck - just send a text and will come and help you out !
Fun episode. Sorry about all the relationship drama. Glad you two are still talking and hope for the best. Life on a small boat amplifies problems. See you next week!
Luv your videos! You're hilarious. Leaks are my nemesis, as well. Luv the tenacity and hard work you're willing to put in. Fairwell through Debby. Can't wait to see your next video. :-)
I have to cook the evening meal for the crew of the tug I work on today. I was just trying to figure out a veg to go with a Sunday beef roast and up pop your video. I had forgotten ,we bought leeks . So thanks.
Thanks, lol. I can use caulk but it’s not typical caulk. The consistency is very thick and dense, and the seam areas aren’t the typical size, some are very thin, so it’s impossible to get the point inside the seam and down in there. You just have to do what you can. And everything is on a time crunch.
I looked hard at Tayana's before deciding the teak deck liability was to great, it will be never ending till the teak and a good deal of core is removed.
❤ Don't worry. Be happy. I was thinking. That is dangerous. I thought you have to unscrew one plank at axtime. Drill out the holes put fiberglass resin with fibers in each hole. Then reattach the teak. It is a massive massive job and no guarantees. Then I remembered some kind of roofing stuff plastic or rubber that you can pour on roofs and roll it out. There could be cracks in the wood too. Let me check that stuff out.
Oh heck no, I could never put that on my teak. I’ve seen people do it but… what’s the point of keeping a teak deck if it’s covered in paint? I’d rip it all off before I did that. To keep it, I’d either have to A) rip it off, fix any rot in the core (in Feb this year there was very little moisture in the core) and then tar the teak back down, or B) Make sure the core is truly dry and then pull all the seams and screws and re screw and recaulk.
Where would you like your Leaky Teaky Society membership cert mailed to??? Welcome to the club! There is hope - in fact there is a cure, but if you DIY, the path is long and [sigh] painful. You 😅 can do it!
I had a 35’ sail boat without teak decks , took me a few years to stop all the water leaks , even resealed the portholes, and it was all fiberglass! Every time it rained I had a anxiety attack, LOL not really but what a pain in the ass ! Keep it up you will get them all done in time , they never leaked when washing the boat only when it rained ,
Sad to watch all the ongoing water damage from those decks! Hopefully you'll get your boat back home soon, so you can do complete new decks and proper repair all the core & substrate damage.....only then, you can enjoy a dry boat! Don't wait too long or you'll have 4 times as much work on an already huge project!!! You might want to invest in some full deck over sunshade tents/canopies to reduce leaks while anchored/moored.
I couple of days late Siren, my wife fell and broke her arm so I've been on nurse duty for the last few days. It's getting better but it's going to be a few weeks. The seams looked good after you took the tape off. Good luck with the leaks and keep the good stuff coming.
As a retired Florida certified Roofing contractor all I can say is leaks are hard enough to find on a building, you will have to be very lucky if you get your leaks to stop! I wish you luck😸
Yep, 'pop up thunderstorms'. They develop in place- I call it 'blooming' and then rain themselves out and disappear. We get them in Georgia all summer. There will be no forecast of rain, the Apple Watch will show 0% chance and in mid afternoon it comes. It happened all last week and I am in need of a dry spell to stain my deck. I'm so pissed off, I feel your pain!
A new sealer from Asia is being advertised on TH-cam. The stuff is clear and applied with a brush or roller. Polymers have come a long way, and this stuff seals wood, concrete, etc. I have been in a similar position and love wood boats. Good Luck.
Interesting. Yes there are tons of products for sealing the wood but I’ve always just used the traditional stuff for the seams. Now eventually I’ll throw some semco down on the wood itself to help seal the wood until I can pull that whole deck up, but I’m honestly finding the problem is the fittings.
@@michaelvanwinkle7919 Yeah I wouldn’t advise anyone to do it, but I knew what I was doing when I bought the boat. There wasn’t much moisture in the deck over the winter months but the summers here are wet so naturally things are a little harder. The plan was always to remedy the deck, though.
I would paint those old teak decks with a rubberized roofing material called Grey Titan. Inexpensive and available at Home Depot. Stops the leaks and keeps the cabin 10 degrees cooler.
Absolutely never in a thousand years. I’ve seen it done and I almost threw up on the dock. Blasphemy. Anyway, most of the leaks are coming from the fittings.
You’re doing fine. One step at a time - do what you can within your budget and abilities. Keeping water from coming into the boat is a good priority. Might not stop all the leaks, but if you can limit the amount of water coming in that’s a good step. Nothing wrong with your thought process and actions. You may want to purchase a larger tarp that you can setup and remove easily to give you a better opportunity to work in all weather and keep the maintenance actions dry. You’re doing great - keep at it. It’s your home (boat or a house), there’s always something that needs fixing. Positive attitude and not stressing on things that are out of your control.
I went MIA for a while but happy you are still persevering, as frustrating as it might be at times. Hold a Patreon Party to help with fre labor! 😂 On a separate note, I sell sterling jewelry as a side hustle and absolutely love your rings! You have great taste! 😁
because it seems you are getting more leaks underway I'm curious if you are having more leakage near any inboard shrouds then ? how was the moisture level at the deck around the shrouds when you had the boat surveyed ? below the teak is the cabin top balsa cored usually and susceptible to rot which creaps along the balsa grain. every time the mast is under load port to starboard it will have a tendency to stress the hull inward if cabin top /deck ids compromised the deck might leak
Well it is, hence the reason the chain plates need to come out. That leaking has been happening for decades and the chain plates are rusted through. The balsa core didn’t read much moisture in February, when I bought the boat, but in the Florida summers…. It’s expected. The deck will get pulled off anyway. I’m really thinking it’s worse now because the tarp that I have over the boom is directing more water into certain areas of the deck, and onto some fittings. The fittings are causing most of the leaks, actually.
Yes that’s what I often do too, but apparently didn’t that time. It was in a ziplock bag though. Either way, when the stuff is sitting in 90+ degree heat for months, it doesn’t help because the tube heats up and it hardens. The tube I used in this video, I did a plastic bag and rubber band on that and I’m SURE it won’t last more than a few weeks.
Yosh, from Sailing Nandji just resealed his teak deck on a Tayana 47 and did a superb job. When you’re ready to tackle the project, take a look at how he did it.
Feeling the pain, I have a couple leaks that I need to fix as well as a lot of deck to recock. Trying to deside if I want to keep the teak. But it is so pretty
Sorry to hear that you guys broke up, never easy to lose someone you care about. What's your plan to get back to PC? You need to get your boat out of Key West and back home so you can get started on a major refit. Good luck to Siren.
Good morn'n! Fun night, wife Cat is seasick'ish, I see couple grounded sailboats west of Wisteria, couple others re-anchoring @3am. Hope you did good on leaks! I've also used my finger to squeeze caulk in after putty knife.
Hahah yeah I was trying to avoid that. It’s actually a LOT harder than people think when you have to set up a camera for every single shot. I can’t touch it with caulk on me and it’s already hard to see the LCD screen to know what the camera is even pointed at because of the sun. It’s a lot.
Hello my friend. Honestly I think you showing us the rain around you is beautiful! I for one love it over the boats like that. Ohh wait one…. Haha one of my dogs just ran over and hugged me. She wanted to play. Her name is Dora. I say- We have to take the time to chase the butterflies. Life is too short, way too short. I’m always learning when I watch your videos. My number 1 favorite. Are you in the moorings at Fleming Key area? Probably seems like forever when you need to get back to your Marina for anything. When will you be continuing north? Thank you so much for your videos. I’d like to close with this. Yes I am a hopeless romantic I have studied many times The marble that was chosen for me A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor In truth it pictures not my destination But my life. For love was offered me and I shrank From it’s disillusionment; Sorrow knocked at my door but I was afraid Ambition called to me but I dreaded the chances Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life And now I know that we must lift the sail And catch the winds of destiny Wherever they drive the boat To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire It is a boat longing for the sea And yet afraid GG We’ll meet someday out there. Until then Stay the course my friend!!
Headed north soon before we get the fall winds. I’ve gotta motor there, can’t sail, so I need calm seas. I’d like to get the boat somewhere by late August. Hal may help. We’re talking things out and see what happens. Yep I’m east of Fleming!
After enduring the incessant water leakage into the cabin for such a long time, I'd be considering the application of fibreglass as a solution. Take a lot of effort but it is achievable.
Yes that is the plan, but I can’t tackle that 500 miles from “home”. The goal from the beginning was to get the boat to the location where I could do the refit.
On my tayana I only had the teak deck in cockpit and decks not cabin top. When I took it off most the screws came out. Some broke off. I filled all holes with epoxy. Then just sanded it and painted with all grip. Then I put down treadmaster on the entire deck and cabin top. Looks like a pro did it. Took me 2 weeks solo and 2,000.00 in 2008. I had the teak in cockpit re done in cockpit new in 2008 for 500.00 in phuket thailand. It's now 16 years later and just today I had to re epoxy a few corners of treadmaster.. But the treadmaster is still as good as it was in 2008. Just not as clean but looks good. No maintenance for 16 years. Till today. I spent 90 minutes . I woukd use treadmaster again but use teak color not the desert sands I used. Just for looks. Teak still looks good too. No screws. You're going to have to rip all that teak off girl. Sorry but it can't be saved. You're water could be comming from the toe rail. I replaced mine also in 2008. And that was where all my water came from. At sea mostly but in driving rain too. Also those windows are leaking into the cabin top. You got to take them all out. Re bed them too. The sooner the better. It's not fun.
From tearing up the teak on our tayana 37 it was not the seams that caused the leaks. There is a ton of adhesive under the teak between the seams and where water can get inside of the boat. the problem is the thousand of screws that was drilled through a perfectly good fiberglass deck in order to hold down the teak. Water is seeping in around the screws that then runs to wherever it can go. Also spending time rebedding fittings that go through the deck will help more than sealing the seams.
@@JoeKelley-f2e Thank you! Yes the fittings are truly worse than the seams. There are still some areas I believe are coming from the teak deck area but I can’t pinpoint them but you’re totally right. I think it’s getting underneath the boards and running around. I know some of the screws are the issue, and most have bungs with a good seal on them but work had been done to it a few years ago with new screws and I have no idea if it was done correctly, and they didn’t cover the tops of those screws, and on most, there isn’t room to cover them because of the type of screws they used. Frustrating. So for now, all I can do is just cover what I can and then this winter the deck will have to come off.
Sadly the correct fix is tear the teak off the deck so you can then fix the cabintop and deck. I run from old sailboats with teak decks. What's happening under the teak is water is entering the holes in the cabintop from all the screws holding on the teak. The water is seeping into the balsa core and that core is rotting. I'm sure you have already been warned of this. There is no easy fix.
Yea, If I was to ever buy a boat, It would not be one that has a Teak Deck. I'm one of the weird people that hates the look of Teak on a deck. I would rather have Lime Green Shag Carpet on deck then Teak.
Push caulking gun fwd it will Push it in better than pulling away. Also dig out like you talked about, buttt put in a little penetrating epoxy before you caulking. It'll hopefully seal before caulking 😊😊
One of the things that I used to do on my hc33 was to use west system in those seams.. they sell powered graphite to mix in and turn it black.. be sure not to use to much or it will shed the graphite onto the deck.
I feel your frustration with the Florida weather. Ideally you want to PUSH caulking into the seams and not PULL it with the gun. Also use much more blue or green masking tape and cleaner/solvent recommended by the caulking manufacturer.
Before I bought SV Mistral and started her refit - I looked at Tayana's (loved the look and lore of teak decks sliding through blue seas, etc.) As it's just me, I opted against all the added time, work, money, and "lore" involved in her teak deck (i.e., I could use the dollars elsewhere to upgrade Mistral's electrical, electronics, rig, propulsion, etc.) Still, your boat is beautiful (as are you,) and I admire your strength, love, heart, and spirit for her! As for your relationship - only you know the path that is best. Peace & blessings "Siren." Kevin in San Diego (monitoring on life's 16)
@@TheSirensLog - You are most welcome! PS: Your Hal is incorrect - "You, the strong, resilient, and gorgeous lady on the inside, is 100% of your "game!" You're doing just fine!
Until you have time to disassemble your hatches and properly reseal them, could you use old innertube, rubber, cut, and strips to temporarily make a temporary seal? I don’t even know if that makes sense. I just use silicone sealant that you peel off later when you’re ready to disassemble and reseal it properly?
First time on your videos. Know this was a temp job but the best sealer in the world ain’t doing much for that deck - its toast (literally). Huge job to redo properly but so are most replacement options which would spoil the character of the boat. Most of the teak I could see looks recoverable. I wonder if it is not the deck but the penetrations that are most of your leaks. Love the bare feet and hard working hands. That sealant is hell to work with, gets on everything, your self advice was good. Red hair and freckles is my favorite look but be careful of that sun.
Ahhhh I already deal with frequent melanoma. Yeah the “plan” has been to pull the deck off and fiberglass, maybe even tar the old deck back down. However, I’m still open to the idea of letting the deck dry out completely (winter) and then pulling all the fittings, which are a huge culprit, then rebedding the fitting and putting new seams down and sanding and then semco. That’s what I’d like to do. It won’t last forever, but if I can get away with that for a few years, it’s worth the trouble.
I had watched a couple of your earlier episodes and didn’t subscribe because I really couldn’t stand your ex. Just subscribed now. To all the guy’s talking about her lip it’s not like she isn’t under a ton of stress ! Give her a break ! It’ll heal up soon enough and she really doesn’t need the critical beat down. I promise it doesn’t help !
Just remove the screws and decking and do what you know needs to be done. You have the skills and knowledge so go for it. We are vicariously behind you and your cute behind.
Did you ditch the fury dude and the dog? Lol. Maybe you could set up some kind of rain fly if you’ll be there for long and re do the hatches and stuff?
The only way to stop leaks on teak decks attached by screws is unfortunately remove it completely or remove all the caulking drill out the caps for the screws remove and rebed every deck screw and hopefully the deck isn’t rotten underneath
@@TheSirensLog yes, Florida Summer is horrible for sure. My boats in Fort pierce workinh inside during summer is a killer especially when it’s raining and everything is closed up. My next yard time will be in a colder location lol
@@TheSirensLog I’d make the priority rebedding all fasteners to include the screws in the deck. Those are the only holes in the deck and if you plug them then it won’t matter so much if water comes in at the seams between the planks.
Hey guys : I've never seen the caulking gun where you could hook a drill to it. What's it called and glad to see you with a hat on. I've 12 cases of skin cancer. I had 3 on my neck I think it was around Oct. 2023 and I had 84 stitches. Ouch !!! :)
Ohhh man you better take care of that skin! I’ve dealt with my share or melanomas en situ and I try to cover up. It’s just an electric caulk gun. I got a cheap one for like $100.
I forgot to tell you this: Check the entire deck for the number of screws you have, once you have counted them, you will buy the same number of teak dowels and replace them. Once there is no water leak under the deck you will wash it with fresh water, UNDUZIT cleaner with a brush and once it is very clean and dry, you apply Teak or linseed Oil with a brush, not with a roller. THIS WILL NOT ONLY PREVENT WATER FROM GETTING THROUGH, BUT YOU WILL LONGER THE LIFE OF THAT TEAK DECK WHICH IS WHAT REALLY SELLS A TAYANA 37' 💯✨
you should dry the leak below so you can better see where it comes from. maybe ask somebody else experienced to have a look while you water the boat down. they will have an answer for most leaks. if you want to ask for help that is :3 Edit:
Calking the seams is not the answer... the water runs down inside the core and drips four or five feet away from the problem. Also, depending on the type screws they used to secure the teak planks. Mine were wood screws and they were a real problem. I recommend buying a tarp to cover up the problem till you get time to pull up the teak and rebed every thing. My sanctions were a real headache. Good luck; ower of a Young Sun 35 (1980)....
Can’t have a tarp on deck for the Florida storms. I’ve tarped it occasionally but it needed to have all these loose seems pulled out and redone. Much of the leaking is actually coming from the fittings, though. But yes as with any teak deck, the leaks run through the deck to the nearest opening so it’s always difficult to find the location. The goal here was to get all the open areas closed and then reasses. This is a temporary fix until I can pull the deck.
Look at chipper you all bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning 🤣Is that Caulk gun from IKEA with instructions 'Some assembly required' 😅Ok, before I ramble on and on about nothing I noticed @12:00 the baseboard and above it looks suspicious for leakage. The dark spots on some woods suggest water retention. Also, the paint line above the baseboard and up the side look like they need attention. I saw it again @23:17 ... I saw you question the vent Hal reattached, check it, a mental question of this sort could be the answer you seek. Some things work like that 🙃I hope you are faring well with Hurricane Debby and all its wind and rain. How's Garrison?
@@TheSirensLogsorry to hear that, but he was a knucklehead anyway. I know things seemed messed up now but it will get better, please never give up. Love your videos!!
If your going to tear it all up why not just get some of the rattle cans of spray stop leak of there’s some stuff for RV that you put on that flows fills the cracks up ,different kind for on the flat or vertical
Yes that’s if I’m properly re-doing the seams but this was a quick fix and sanding created a greater loss in wood so I can’t do that just to fix the deck temporarily
You need to do what sailing Njaa. Pull out every single screw and fill the hole with penetrating epoxy. Then go back and patch up all your seems like you’re doing. I know this is an a permanent fix but it kind of is. you don’t need to rip the whole decks up just need to get rid of the screws that hold the teak down. They don’t install Teak decks screws anymore.
Right but I can’t open all the screws up in the middle of summer. It’s impossible to even with a tarped deck, it would rain in them. It’s Florida and we have rain randomly everyday and this stuff is supposed to not get wet for several days, plus you’re supposed to let the deck dry out for days before application and that’s not possible. I think to do anything more than I did, I need to be on the hard under a roof, or I need to be in the winter with less rain. But you’re right.
I recon you guys never made it up to PCB for the refit. The water could coming from anywhere and running under the teak to get to the screw holes that’s loose and leaking.
Still slowly getting there. Yes the water on the boat comes from different places and then runs under the teak to wherever they leak. It’s frustrating and makes it hard to track down.
Hi Siren , I must say you have beautiful eyes and a pretty good looking body too , loved the one piece swimmers. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos from Australia.
Wow ! Teak decks that are screwed down are a nightmare, the best repair is to remove all the teak seal the deck and then glue down teak , but that very expensive or time consuming it you do it your self , you can reuse the teak to glue down and then sand the whole deck ! A major job ! Most people just remove the teak seal and paint the decks ! Or you can use that artificial rubberized teak looking deck ! Even more expensive 🤔
I’ve actually considered tarring the teak back down after I pull it up. It’s a huge job but worth it in my opinion. But for that reason I’m careful what I put on the deck because I need to be able to get the teak up and it can’t be ruined. That’s why I don’t want to use some epoxies.
Hurricane season in Marathon is not the place to be. Get out of dodge, the season is ramping up rapidly. There is a highly rated DIY yard on the Caloosahatcee near the lake. But get out of the keys is my 2 cents worth.
Hey Siren, i talked to y’all before and have been keeping up with you, I didn’t know about y’all breaking up, did you make it back home yet? Glad your going through with the boat you have a lot of support out here if you need it, keep in touch and feel free to ask any questions you might have! Be safe through the storm coming through
Thanks! Yeah we broke up but are not talking again and seeing if it’ll work. It’s complicated. lol I was accidentally off the boat for the storm. I’m still waiting for an update from people in the mooring field.
@@TheSirensLog I’m glad y’all are talking and I hope everything was ok through the storm, please be safe out there and if you ever have questions feel free to ask
I’ve used pills and expensive topical fever blistering medication, and still takes them weeks to go away. Nothing helps. They come out when I get too much sun and I’m stressed. Relatively new thing in my life.
So just because it looks nice isn’t waterproof… personally I would caulk a lot more like every exposed screw head along with edges and corners. Try to be neat but think like water trying to flow. Clear objects that block the flow of water.
Am I the only one who is so confused with this couple? After living on a boat sailing the world being a Capt. And now thank gawd not running .y own or the temp fixes for them I can say when you older you get wisdom. And when you look back it's better to just buy an already finished ready to go fixed vintage.
@@jcmjcm1945 I agree with you but finished bluewater boats are more expensive. I know it will cost more money in the end to redo this boat but I was able to get into a boat quicker, which I wanted. It’s a TH-cam channel, and people like projects, so it would be good for content. I wanted a boat that I could make how I wanted it and frankly even thought the teak deck needs to come off, I was happy to buy a boat with a teak deck because I may reuse the teak. I had my reasons
Yeaaaaah I know it. I didn’t start getting fever blisters until the last few years and now when I’m stressed they come out. Apparently the sun makes it worse as well. I’d had a few days of full sun with no shade and actually got sun poisoning on my back and then got one fever blister, then as soon as I fought that one off, I got another one. They’re relentless and there’s nothing I can really do about it. I bought pills online to help stop it, plus the topical treatment, but it’ll still take weeks.

A new sealer from Asia is being advertised on TH-cam. The stuff is clear and applied with a brush or roller. Polymers have come a long way, and this stuff seals wood, concrete, etc. I have been in a similar position and love wood boats. Good Luck.
Interesting. Yes there are tons of products for sealing the wood but I’ve always just used the traditional stuff for the seams. Now eventually I’ll throw some semco down on the wood itself to help seal the wood until I can pull that whole deck up, but I’m honestly finding the problem is the fittings.
@@TheSirensLog Times change, and so does technology. Traditional told me to put butter on a burn! I urge you to get a small amount and test it.
Buying an old sailboat with a teak deck that was screwed down seems to be asking for trouble. Best wishes on your stop leak work.
@@michaelvanwinkle7919 Yeah I wouldn’t advise anyone to do it, but I knew what I was doing when I bought the boat. There wasn’t much moisture in the deck over the winter months but the summers here are wet so naturally things are a little harder. The plan was always to remedy the deck, though.
I would paint those old teak decks with a rubberized roofing material called Grey Titan. Inexpensive and available at Home Depot. Stops the leaks and keeps the cabin 10 degrees cooler.
Absolutely never in a thousand years. I’ve seen it done and I almost threw up on the dock. Blasphemy.
Anyway, most of the leaks are coming from the fittings.
You’re doing fine. One step at a time - do what you can within your budget and abilities.
Keeping water from coming into the boat is a good priority.
Might not stop all the leaks, but if you can limit the amount of water coming in that’s a good step.
Nothing wrong with your thought process and actions.
You may want to purchase a larger tarp that you can setup and remove easily to give you a better opportunity to work in all weather and keep the maintenance actions dry.
You’re doing great - keep at it.
It’s your home (boat or a house), there’s always something that needs fixing.
Positive attitude and not stressing on things that are out of your control.
Thank you 🙏🏼

THAT WAS PAINFUL AT TIMES GOOD LUCK
because it seems you are getting more leaks underway I'm curious if you are having more leakage near any inboard shrouds then ? how was the moisture level at the deck around the shrouds when you had the boat surveyed ? below the teak is the cabin top balsa cored usually and susceptible to rot which creaps along the balsa grain. every time the mast is under load port to starboard it will have a tendency to stress the hull inward if cabin top /deck ids compromised the deck might leak
Well it is, hence the reason the chain plates need to come out. That leaking has been happening for decades and the chain plates are rusted through. The balsa core didn’t read much moisture in February, when I bought the boat, but in the Florida summers…. It’s expected. The deck will get pulled off anyway. I’m really thinking it’s worse now because the tarp that I have over the boom is directing more water into certain areas of the deck, and onto some fittings. The fittings are causing most of the leaks, actually.
@@TheSirensLog let’s hope it’s a bedding issue and not balsa rot
@@craigweaver583 I believe there to be very little bales rot, but just a little in some areas. Either way, this winter it should be remedied
Your wished all the best
To keep caulk from drying out I stick plastic(walmart bag, sandwich bag) over the nozzle and stick a rubber band around it.
Yes that’s what I often do too, but apparently didn’t that time. It was in a ziplock bag though. Either way, when the stuff is sitting in 90+ degree heat for months, it doesn’t help because the tube heats up and it hardens. The tube I used in this video, I did a plastic bag and rubber band on that and I’m SURE it won’t last more than a few weeks.
Yosh, from Sailing Nandji just resealed his teak deck on a Tayana 47 and did a superb job. When you’re ready to tackle the project, take a look at how he did it.
Will do!!
Please Dont Give Up! You Doing Great
Feeling the pain, I have a couple leaks that I need to fix as well as a lot of deck to recock. Trying to deside if I want to keep the teak. But it is so pretty
Sorry to hear that you guys broke up, never easy to lose someone you care about. What's your plan to get back to PC? You need to get your boat out of Key West and back home so you can get started on a major refit. Good luck to Siren.
We broke up but are still talking and working things out. We will see what happens. He may come back to help me get the boat back up. Not sure yet.
I love my islander 51 and live on it and love it😊
Good morn'n!
Fun night, wife Cat is seasick'ish, I see couple grounded sailboats west of Wisteria, couple others re-anchoring @3am. Hope you did good on leaks! I've also used my finger to squeeze caulk in after putty knife.
Hahah yeah I was trying to avoid that. It’s actually a LOT harder than people think when you have to set up a camera for every single shot. I can’t touch it with caulk on me and it’s already hard to see the LCD screen to know what the camera is even pointed at because of the sun. It’s a lot.
Hello my friend. Honestly I think you showing us the rain around you is beautiful! I for one love it over the boats like that. Ohh wait one…. Haha one of my dogs just ran over and hugged me. She wanted to play. Her name is Dora. I say- We have to take the time to chase the butterflies. Life is too short, way too short. I’m always learning when I watch your videos. My number 1 favorite. Are you in the moorings at Fleming Key area? Probably seems like forever when you need to get back to your Marina for anything. When will you be continuing north? Thank you so much for your videos. I’d like to close with this. Yes I am a hopeless romantic
I have studied many times
The marble that was chosen for me
A boat with a furled sail at rest in a harbor
In truth it pictures not my destination
But my life.
For love was offered me and I shrank
From it’s disillusionment;
Sorrow knocked at my door but I was afraid
Ambition called to me but I dreaded the chances
Yet all the while I hungered for meaning in my life
And now I know that we must lift the sail
And catch the winds of destiny
Wherever they drive the boat
To put meaning in one’s life may end in madness
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire
It is a boat longing for the sea
And yet afraid
GG
We’ll meet someday out there. Until then
Stay the course my friend!!
Headed north soon before we get the fall winds. I’ve gotta motor there, can’t sail, so I need calm seas. I’d like to get the boat somewhere by late August. Hal may help. We’re talking things out and see what happens.
Yep I’m east of Fleming!
After enduring the incessant water leakage into the cabin for such a long time, I'd be considering the application of fibreglass as a solution. Take a lot of effort but it is achievable.
Yes that is the plan, but I can’t tackle that 500 miles from “home”. The goal from the beginning was to get the boat to the location where I could do the refit.
Hi sunshine, the result seems not so bad. Maybe put plastic you want to protect and pour any water to check where are the leaks.
Take care with the Hurricane
On my tayana I only had the teak deck in cockpit and decks not cabin top.
When I took it off most the screws came out. Some broke off.
I filled all holes with epoxy. Then just sanded it and painted with all grip. Then I put down treadmaster on the entire deck and cabin top. Looks like a pro did it. Took me 2 weeks solo and 2,000.00 in 2008. I had the teak in cockpit re done in cockpit new in 2008 for 500.00 in phuket thailand.
It's now 16 years later and just today I had to re epoxy a few corners of treadmaster.. But the treadmaster is still as good as it was in 2008. Just not as clean but looks good.
No maintenance for 16 years. Till today. I spent 90 minutes .
I woukd use treadmaster again but use teak color not the desert sands I used. Just for looks. Teak still looks good too. No screws.
You're going to have to rip all that teak off girl. Sorry but it can't be saved.
You're water could be comming from the toe rail. I replaced mine also in 2008. And that was where all my water came from. At sea mostly but in driving rain too.
Also those windows are leaking into the cabin top. You got to take them all out. Re bed them too. The sooner the better. It's not fun.
From tearing up the teak on our tayana 37 it was not the seams that caused the leaks. There is a ton of adhesive under the teak between the seams and where water can get inside of the boat. the problem is the thousand of screws that was drilled through a perfectly good fiberglass deck in order to hold down the teak. Water is seeping in around the screws that then runs to wherever it can go. Also spending time rebedding fittings that go through the deck will help more than sealing the seams.
@@JoeKelley-f2e Thank you! Yes the fittings are truly worse than the seams. There are still some areas I believe are coming from the teak deck area but I can’t pinpoint them but you’re totally right. I think it’s getting underneath the boards and running around. I know some of the screws are the issue, and most have bungs with a good seal on them but work had been done to it a few years ago with new screws and I have no idea if it was done correctly, and they didn’t cover the tops of those screws, and on most, there isn’t room to cover them because of the type of screws they used. Frustrating. So for now, all I can do is just cover what I can and then this winter the deck will have to come off.
Sadly the correct fix is tear the teak off the deck so you can then fix the cabintop and deck. I run from old sailboats with teak decks. What's happening under the teak is water is entering the holes in the cabintop from all the screws holding on the teak. The water is seeping into the balsa core and that core is rotting. I'm sure you have already been warned of this. There is no easy fix.
Yea, If I was to ever buy a boat, It would not be one that has a Teak Deck. I'm one of the weird people that hates the look of Teak on a deck. I would rather have Lime Green Shag Carpet on deck then Teak.
That imitation teak decking is more better and it doesn’t get hot like teak does. I can’t remember the name of it.
That has always been the plan but I can’t do it on a mooring ball
FlexiTeak is probably the best one
@@TheSirensLog your time for complete repair will come. I know you and Hal have got this ❤
Push caulking gun fwd it will Push it in better than pulling away. Also dig out like you talked about, buttt put in a little penetrating epoxy before you caulking. It'll hopefully seal before caulking 😊😊
One of the things that I used to do on my hc33 was to use west system in those seams.. they sell powered graphite to mix in and turn it black.. be sure not to use to much or it will shed the graphite onto the deck.
I’m not sure if I want to sue other products that wouldn’t be sandable because I may salvage the wood.
The reason to not put in to much graphite is so when it is sanded smooth it doesn't leave a powder residue
I feel your frustration with the Florida weather. Ideally you want to PUSH caulking into the seams and not PULL it with the gun. Also use much more blue or green masking tape and cleaner/solvent recommended by the caulking manufacturer.
Before I bought SV Mistral and started her refit - I looked at Tayana's (loved the look and lore of teak decks sliding through blue seas, etc.) As it's just me, I opted against all the added time, work, money, and "lore" involved in her teak deck (i.e., I could use the dollars elsewhere to upgrade Mistral's electrical, electronics, rig, propulsion, etc.) Still, your boat is beautiful (as are you,) and I admire your strength, love, heart, and spirit for her! As for your relationship - only you know the path that is best. Peace & blessings "Siren." Kevin in San Diego (monitoring on life's 16)
Thank you so so much. ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheSirensLog - You are most welcome! PS: Your Hal is incorrect - "You, the strong, resilient, and gorgeous lady on the inside, is 100% of your "game!" You're doing just fine!
🥹 Thank you
Next time tape needs to come off immediately after caulk is installed. Good luck.
Until you have time to disassemble your hatches and properly reseal them, could you use old innertube, rubber, cut, and strips to temporarily make a temporary seal? I don’t even know if that makes sense. I just use silicone sealant that you peel off later when you’re ready to disassemble and reseal it properly?
You did ok. When I used to do teak decks after caulk fully cured l would belt sand seams to cleanup the look
Yep! I just don’t have much time between the rainstorms and it’s a temporary fix
First time on your videos. Know this was a temp job but the best sealer in the world ain’t doing much for that deck - its toast (literally). Huge job to redo properly but so are most replacement options which would spoil the character of the boat. Most of the teak I could see looks recoverable. I wonder if it is not the deck but the penetrations that are most of your leaks. Love the bare feet and hard working hands. That sealant is hell to work with, gets on everything, your self advice was good. Red hair and freckles is my favorite look but be careful of that sun.
Ahhhh I already deal with frequent melanoma.
Yeah the “plan” has been to pull the deck off and fiberglass, maybe even tar the old deck back down. However, I’m still open to the idea of letting the deck dry out completely (winter) and then pulling all the fittings, which are a huge culprit, then rebedding the fitting and putting new seams down and sanding and then semco. That’s what I’d like to do. It won’t last forever, but if I can get away with that for a few years, it’s worth the trouble.
I had watched a couple of your earlier episodes and didn’t subscribe because I really couldn’t stand your ex. Just subscribed now.
To all the guy’s talking about her lip it’s not like she isn’t under a ton of stress ! Give her a break ! It’ll heal up soon enough and she really doesn’t need the critical beat down. I promise it doesn’t help !
Just remove the screws and decking and do what you know needs to be done. You have the skills and knowledge so go for it. We are vicariously behind you and your cute behind.
Thanks!!!🙏🏼
Did you ditch the fury dude and the dog? Lol. Maybe you could set up some kind of rain fly if you’ll be there for long and re do the hatches and stuff?
The deck has to be removed and a new one put down. The boat needs a major overhaul instead of intermittent patchwork !
Correct. That’s the plan but I’m not doing it on a mooring ball and it’s not happing in Florida summer. That’s a winter job.
I hope you all are safe and sound with Debby hitting. Please be safe.
Around 4 minutes, the halyard, the “shackle” looks odd; what is it?
The only way to stop leaks on teak decks attached by screws is unfortunately remove it completely or remove all the caulking drill out the caps for the screws remove and rebed every deck screw and hopefully the deck isn’t rotten underneath
Not doing that in the Florida thunderstorms.
@@TheSirensLog yes, Florida Summer is horrible for sure. My boats in Fort pierce workinh inside during summer is a killer especially when it’s raining and everything is closed up. My next yard time will be in a colder location lol
The water is coming in around the exposed screw heads not the seams. You need to rebed the exposed screws.
It totally is. A lot have been covered but there’s a bunch more! The fittings are also leaking.
@@TheSirensLog I’d make the priority rebedding all fasteners to include the screws in the deck. Those are the only holes in the deck and if you plug them then it won’t matter so much if water comes in at the seams between the planks.
@@TheCorsair you’re totally right.
Hey guys : I've never seen the caulking gun where you could hook a drill to it. What's it called and glad to see you with a hat on. I've 12 cases of skin cancer. I had 3 on my neck I think it was around Oct. 2023 and I had 84 stitches. Ouch !!! :)
Ohhh man you better take care of that skin! I’ve dealt with my share or melanomas en situ and I try to cover up.
It’s just an electric caulk gun. I got a cheap one for like $100.
I forgot to tell you this: Check the entire deck for the number of screws you have, once you have counted them, you will buy the same number of teak dowels and replace them.
Once there is no water leak under the deck you will wash it with fresh water, UNDUZIT cleaner with a brush and once it is very clean and dry, you apply Teak or linseed Oil with a brush, not with a roller. THIS WILL NOT ONLY PREVENT WATER FROM GETTING THROUGH, BUT YOU WILL LONGER THE LIFE OF THAT TEAK DECK WHICH IS WHAT REALLY SELLS A TAYANA 37' 💯✨
you should dry the leak below so you can better see where it comes from. maybe ask somebody else experienced to have a look while you water the boat down. they will have an answer for most leaks. if you want to ask for help that is :3 Edit:
Yeah that’s the only way to find them is experiment with having someone put water on the deck but I don’t have a second hand.
Try pushing the caulking forward to get into the space better.
It’s not that, it’s the fact that the seams aren’t open as far as they “normally” would be. They’re actually really tight.
@@TheSirensLog I did a whole new deck. I used my finger to push it in and make a smooth line at the same time, you get a slightly hollow result.
Calking the seams is not the answer... the water runs down inside the core and drips four or five feet away from the problem. Also, depending on the type screws they used to secure the teak planks. Mine were wood screws and they were a real problem. I recommend buying a tarp to cover up the problem till you get time to pull up the teak and rebed every thing. My sanctions were a real headache. Good luck; ower of a Young Sun 35 (1980)....
Can’t have a tarp on deck for the Florida storms. I’ve tarped it occasionally but it needed to have all these loose seems pulled out and redone. Much of the leaking is actually coming from the fittings, though. But yes as with any teak deck, the leaks run through the deck to the nearest opening so it’s always difficult to find the location. The goal here was to get all the open areas closed and then reasses. This is a temporary fix until I can pull the deck.
Try cutting a smaller tip on the caulking gun it will not be as messy
Yeah I cut it at an angle as small as I could and pinching it with pliers. The seams on that deck are not the typical diameter. They’re really thin.
Where is hal? Sorry stay strong.
I thought they bought the boat together
Look at chipper you all bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning 🤣Is that Caulk gun from IKEA with instructions 'Some assembly required' 😅Ok, before I ramble on and on about nothing I noticed @12:00 the baseboard and above it looks suspicious for leakage. The dark spots on some woods suggest water retention. Also, the paint line above the baseboard and up the side look like they need attention. I saw it again @23:17 ... I saw you question the vent Hal reattached, check it, a mental question of this sort could be the answer you seek. Some things work like that 🙃I hope you are faring well with Hurricane Debby and all its wind and rain. How's Garrison?
Garrison is good! He’s starting his third antibiotic this week but he’s strong.

Change the direction you’re moving the caulking gun. Push it in the crack rather than pulling it along the crack if that makes any sense?
Hi mate, ur doing awesome, 1 day at a time, but u deserved to be treated with respect. Take some time for u an ur wants an needs ok💕🇦🇺
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Maybe a bucket of tar and a 12 inch brush might slow the leaks!
Having owned and sailed a Tayana 37 I am wondering if you plan to "single hand" her?
@@jayhess5844 Yes this boat could be singlehanded, but I’d still need someone to help get on a mooring ball.
@@TheSirensLogwatch Lauren landers channel. She single hands and does it all. So there’s a way. When there’s a will
Take the tape up right after you apply...
You’re supposed to wait until it’s tacky to the touch
If your going to tear it all up why not just get some of the rattle cans of spray stop leak of there’s some stuff for RV that you put on that flows fills the cracks up ,different kind for on the flat or vertical
Because I’m too proud. lol it would look trashy and I’m just not willing to. 🤷♀️
You should sand your deck after you scrape out all the calk and refill it. At least I think that's how it's done.
Yes that’s if I’m properly re-doing the seams but this was a quick fix and sanding created a greater loss in wood so I can’t do that just to fix the deck temporarily
You need to do what sailing Njaa. Pull out every single screw and fill the hole with penetrating epoxy. Then go back and patch up all your seems like you’re doing. I know this is an a permanent fix but it kind of is. you don’t need to rip the whole decks up just need to get rid of the screws that hold the teak down. They don’t install Teak decks screws anymore.
Right but I can’t open all the screws up in the middle of summer. It’s impossible to even with a tarped deck, it would rain in them. It’s Florida and we have rain randomly everyday and this stuff is supposed to not get wet for several days, plus you’re supposed to let the deck dry out for days before application and that’s not possible. I think to do anything more than I did, I need to be on the hard under a roof, or I need to be in the winter with less rain. But you’re right.
How is Garrett? Did Bentley go with Hal? Life moves forward, just find the bright spots
Garrison is doing good! He is starting a third antibiotic this week but he’s ready for it.
you should remove tape in a few hours :O
I recon you guys never made it up to PCB for the refit. The water could coming from anywhere and running under the teak to get to the screw holes that’s loose and leaking.
Still slowly getting there. Yes the water on the boat comes from different places and then runs under the teak to wherever they leak. It’s frustrating and makes it hard to track down.
@@TheSirensLog …… yes it will be very difficult to track down the leak especially when you are on the hook.
Hi Siren , I must say you have beautiful eyes and a pretty good looking body too , loved the one piece swimmers. Keep up the good work always enjoy the videos from Australia.
Thank you 🙏🏼
You need tarps, wish I could help.
Where is Hell is the Captain Hal ? Your doing a great job , but maybe he should do these repairs when he’s home and fix the rigging also ?
you need clear epoxy paint to stop leak
Have to be careful with that. I may try to preserve the teak when I finally pull it off and using some things may make that impossible
Wow ! Teak decks that are screwed down are a nightmare, the best repair is to remove all the teak seal the deck and then glue down teak , but that very expensive or time consuming it you do it your self , you can reuse the teak to glue down and then sand the whole deck ! A major job ! Most people just remove the teak seal and paint the decks ! Or you can use that artificial rubberized teak looking deck ! Even more expensive 🤔
I’ve actually considered tarring the teak back down after I pull it up. It’s a huge job but worth it in my opinion. But for that reason I’m careful what I put on the deck because I need to be able to get the teak up and it can’t be ruined. That’s why I don’t want to use some epoxies.
Hurricane season in Marathon is not the place to be. Get out of dodge, the season is ramping up rapidly. There is a highly rated DIY yard on the Caloosahatcee near the lake. But get out of the keys is my 2 cents worth.

Vitamin e applied directly to the blister on your bottom lip will help heal it quickly .
I’ve used pills and expensive topical fever blistering medication, and still takes them weeks to go away. Nothing helps. They come out when I get too much sun and I’m stressed. Relatively new thing in my life.
@@TheSirensLog vitamin E in a gel cap . Poke a hole in it and apply the Vitamin E directly to the blister .
👍^_^
So just because it looks nice isn’t waterproof… personally I would caulk a lot more like every exposed screw head along with edges and corners. Try to be neat but think like water trying to flow. Clear objects that block the flow of water.
That takes a lot longer to do, and you can already see how I’m constantly running out of time before the rain. It’s hard in the Florida summer.
Outstanding camera work.

Best travels..
your lips getting worse every week. no lip-gloss?
Yeaaaaah I know it. I didn’t start getting fever blisters until the last few years and now when I’m stressed they come out. Apparently the sun makes it worse as well. I’d had a few days of full sun with no shade and actually got sun poisoning on my back and then got one fever blister, then as soon as I fought that one off, I got another one. They’re relentless and there’s nothing I can really do about it. I bought pills online to help stop it, plus the topical treatment, but it’ll still take weeks.
But to answer your question, I’ve tried every lip gloss and lipstick that I have and none of them stick to it so nothing actually covers it.
Sometimes you scare me a little bit!
I had a 35’ sail boat without teak decks , took me a few years to stop all the water leaks , even resealed the portholes, and it was all fiberglass! Every time it rained I had a anxiety attack, LOL not really but what a pain in the ass ! Keep it up you will get them all done in time , they never leaked when washing the boat only when it rained ,
Hahah That’s how this one is!
