welcome back to sv basic

beautiful day absolutely gorgeous does

that mean epoxy today it should but it's

not we're gonna take a step aside today

and talk a little about it some big news

happening to the crew of sv basing here

she is

gorgeous sunny day but the projects are

gonna be put on hold for a moment

so let's get on board and talk about

this man

so we've had a lot of questions and

comments on our videos about what our

plans are and when we're gonna leave all

right I actually love the comments that

say we're never leaving the dock if

we're gonna leave ever believe me we're

leaving this dog we are too involved and

invested in this project not to leave we

are leaving

yeah so this is this will be our year

and the other reason why is taking a so

long is because we're also working

full-time jobs and managing our lives

and family and school building a boat

running running our channel I mean it's

crazy I'm shocked how much time it takes

so teal has been winding down his

businesses for the past year and a half

yep and we're out there yeah we're

almost done and that last piece of the

puzzle is my job I am God a lot of the

time away from the boat which really

sucks and I have decided to put in my

notice and by the time you guys watch

this video I will be officially

unemployed and was very excited and I'm

nervous don't be nervous this is this is

what needs to happen for us to hang our

goal I know so scary we picked up a nice

bottle of champagne a little sparkling

cider for Emma and we're gonna toast to

Lynne for all her years of hard work to

get us to this point so let's do this

let's crack these babies open let's do

it

[Music]

okay everyone

here's to Lin here's to us here's to us

and then next chapter Cheers

that's mine here that's good okay

confession time I'm a little terrified

at this next chapter and there's a

reason why on our last trip teal and I

went on it was great but we didn't have

so many worries like we do now it was

just the two of us and our dog you don't

have as many concerns one we were a lot

younger and two we're both adults so it

doesn't take much for us to be happy but

when you throw in that new factor of

having a child on board and raising this

child it adds another element to it

which is we have to deal and worry about

her well-being first and foremost is she

gonna like this we have to worry about

insurance her education and her social

well-being it's really important for us

that she enjoys and understands and

appreciates this new lifestyle that

we're giving her so for this next

chapter you guys will see me delving

into more of her education preparing for

our travels with insurance and

essentially kind of preparing her and us

for this next trip it's gonna be

exciting and I can't say there won't be

tears there could be but we're really

excited so let's talk what's gonna

happen now over the next few months what

is gonna happen

it's gonna be a whirlwind I know we need

to bend a lot to do yeah we're not gonna

are we gonna finish the boat no no we're

not gonna finish the boat no we're gonna

get a lot done what needs to happen is

we're gonna get everything done to make

this boat mobile first yeah life and

safety we're gonna get the navigation

lighting in we're gonna get the engines

going

steering complete it all has to happen

in the next three months and I get to

make my lists you can have your list I

do a daily list of things that needs to

be accomplished

teal hates them as much as he loves his

post-its I love my list the reason why

is the whole project is super

overwhelming and for me it's so much

easier to make a list of what you need

to accomplish that day otherwise it's

too hard to structure in a plan sure

he's totally rolling his eyes they

probably saw that okay you get whatever

it needs to whatever you need to do to

get this thing done we won't I know I

have a lot of things that I need to do

and there's a lot of things that teal is

going to be doing so we're tag-teaming

this project and we're and it's gonna

make a big change because with Lynn here

that relieves a lot of pressure off of

Emma's homeschooling for me which means

I can get more work done on the boat I

now have more hands here helping me on

the boat so yeah we're gonna kick this

into high gear and get this boat done so

what needs to happen is after we get the

steering in the rudders the engines

running we're gonna move this whole show

over to a hollow facility in the Pacific

Northwest

pull the boat out of the water and spend

about I'm anticipating about six weeks

on the heart hoping it's not six weeks

but that's worst-case scenario is what

I'm thinking

worst-case scenario six weeks best-case

scenario three weeks

make your list because it'll be six

weeks what needs to happen obviously we

haven't had the boat out of the water in

a while we're gonna service the sail

drives service everything below the

water we have to work on the dagger

boards we have to put some deck

stiffeners in we're gonna work on

through-hole fitting final top coat no

it's good yep ton of painting under side

top side bottom paint we've got a lot of

painting to do all this sewing all

packed into six weeks it's gonna be

tight after that we relaunch the boat

and shake her down here in the Pacific

Northwest spent some time here in

Washington and maybe trickle into Canada

yeah we love those areas and I'm so

excited to show Emma what this area has

to offer before we hit self let's face

it Pacific Northwest is some of the most

beautiful cruising grounds on the planet

really is a perfect time because it'll

be it'll be it'll be you'll be late

summer so we need to take advantage of

it while we're here yeah our plan is in

the fall head down the coast and short

term plan is get into the Bay Area

Sacramento Delta sitting in the San

Joaquin and kind of pushing too far

forward good we don't know things change

all the time I do but that's in my mind

I have this set but you're right it'll

probably it'll probably change the best

part of cruising is there should not be

any set schedule and and there won't be

but I'm excited for this next few months

it's gonna be crazy Wow

I'm finally doing it right there honey

big sigh relief isn't it maybe I don't

know it doesn't sunk in yet okay I admit

it's a little I don't know it's like

it's gonna be different having one less

salary but this needs to happen I know

for us to go I mean this is not like

we're fly-by-night we've been planning

this for 10 years

we're down and we're down to the last

few days yeah it's just taking that

plunge that plunge was it was scary but

exciting at the same time it is so I am

happy that we did it because this is

something that we have worked so hard

for for so long for so long it's just

it's so long

hey we deserve it our family does it

does so let's take it easy the rest of

the day drink a little champagne get up

early have a nice family day all day

long tomorrow really really let's do

that and don't worry no work but back to

work the next day we got to get this

project ok with that as long as we get

one family

family day tomorrow it was going she

will be cheers cheers guys

[Music]

okay it's time for a playdate people

where we going go into the bed show

that'd be fun

we're the weather let's go I'll look at

all the boats at all this gear I know me

too

it is this is more like an an R&D

mission for a million it is not a fun

day at all

no homework it's a lot of work let's go

let's go so this this show is gonna be a

little bittersweet for me just because

this is something we have done every

year in Seattle and it's our last one

before we set sail

I'm just excited I'm happy it's a nice

day and it's walking this it is within

walking distance is awesome it is

awesome do we know the rest the song

see what they have to offer us don't buy

anything don't buy and well we got a

look yeah look just don't buy

[Music]

this crew looks forward to this book

show every year and every year Emma

until always have to take their first

stop and get their usual Iverson fish

and chips while I grab whatever I can to

sustain the over 20,000 steps we cover

touring the new boats and checking out

all the gear

I'm still drooling over that cookware we

even pick up Till's dream Rakta and Emma

gets to snake herself a new path

introduction read a lot about these we

actually on our last Chris probably head

up for his club its dad Joe it this is

next generation so we're gonna be exact

we've got a lot of people there

rocket is great that it works

and there was a few areas where our

Bruce

it's failed but she liked the banner

yeah we kept a log in one of the times

there's what I could say

till dad gets to check out his favorite

boots and look at all the updated

electronics and safety

Oh

Linda's found our new outboard for the

dinghy it was pretty fun we learned a

lot we've got to see some pretty amazing

boats I met a lot of great people the

wind is picking up okay let's go

this year the Boat Show was awesome I

loved it and I think my parents did too

it was really fun to see all you guys

come up and introduce yourselves to us I

thought that was pretty cool when we got

our new anchor the guy gave me a hat

what that's my hat I have video proof

that shows otherwise

it's my hat my hat obviously yeah I like

seeing all the new catamarans but I

think I like ours the most

oh I love going to the boat shows mostly

to check out all the materials people

are using to build boats with now it's a

lot of fun for me I've noticed trends

coming and going one that I've noticed

is flooring a lot of boat manufacturers

are getting away from real wood floors

either going with vinyl floors that's

what we did and we get a ton of

questions asking what is our floor can

you tell us how you put your floor in

well here it is right here it's just a

vinyl plank floor it's easy to work with

durable these floors have been in a few

years now actually let's jump back in

time and I'll show you how I put them in

[Music]

so let me purchase this vote there were

no fixed floors in the holes at all

they were just loose boards just sitting

on cleats on the walls it's kind of

rickety made a lot of noise and you walk

down it we stripped all that out and

just started

fresh-ground it down to the bare hand

and laid up 90 core panels multiple

layers of cloth and then layered cloth

and swept it up into the side holes

didn't have to use a very thick piece we

started with half-inch and it's plenty

strong

we're only spanning most of the whole

three maybe four feet in some points

after the NIDA core was all laminated in

I put this curb all the way around the

perimeter on all the floor surfaces of

the boat it's about a hundred and sixty

two lineal feet what it is is a piece of

floor mat this is used when you're

trying to build up thickness without

adding a lot of weight when you're using

resins I just cut it into three quarter

inch pieces and I could cut radiuses

into this and I ran it around the entire

perimeter I could get nice sweeping

corners and I did this for a reason I

wanted it to have a spot for the vinyl

floor to butt up against so there isn't

a sharp edge on the edge of the vinyl

other than that but would have had to

run the vinyl all the way to the wall

and that would be difficult in a lot of

these areas so this way I could just

stand it off about an inch and a half

off the wall and run a nice vinyl floor

when it came down to laying the floor

down that's where it took a ton of time

to get every one of these vinyl planks

to bun up inside of this curb tip some

patience how I ended up doing it was

cutting in templates I've stripped up

cardboard the same size as my plank that

way I could fit a template in exactly to

the shape carve it in and then just

transfer that to the vinyl once I

transfer to the vinyl it's just a matter

of scoring over the razor and shaping it

in but it was piece by piece

there's not many whole planks in this

whole installation most plank had to be

modified so it took a little while

[Music]

flori

over a nemesis

so I know bits hello so exciting and

we'll finally get to watch our stateroom

barefoot yeah without complaining about

the epoxy and fiberglass and everything

else but it's just really coming

together

we're really excited it's been a long

long journey for us looking really

fabulous so underneath here is the

holding tank no sorry this is the water

tank and over there we're gonna have to

figure out how we're going to get the

intake and the lube for that you can see

that it will progress over into right

now that is Till's workshop also known

as the guests area so for our future

friends and family to come and see it

what's the planks are cut to shape and

size I just trowel down a vinyl floor

adhesive with a eighth inch v notch

trowel spread it out nice and even make

sure your substrate is clean because

even a speck of sand will just Telegraph

right through you'll see it lump up

under this so start with a clean surface

trowel it out and stick it in and it is

not going anywhere

[Music]

five

okay em are you ready helping out okay

let's go

it's your stateroom don't walk them

igloo this time take it on your knees

right yeah right there stop right there

I'm gonna hand you the pizzas and you're

gonna fit them in okay grab this top

edge like this

[Music]

it all down make sure everything is

lined up on the edges make sure they

don't get you here right now okay wipe

that off and we'll get the next one
