good morning welcome back to su basic

sunny but a little blustery today but

I'm feeling much better that flu kicked

my butt for a couple of weeks but I'm

happy I'm happy because I'm getting a

package today just got a notification on

my phone that it's in been waiting for

this for sakes here say EE or something

like that something I've been searching

for finally found it on eBay and it just

delivered I'm so excited

let's go grab it from the mailbox and

open it up

our boat is actually right there so we

walked to the end of the dock over to a

little deli right here by the ice

machine and we have a little peel box in

there

that's where we get our mail okay there

it is this little package is what I've

been waiting for I know may not be

exciting to some people but this is just

another piece of the puzzle I'm trying

to put together let's get back to the

boat and check it out hey guys

alright so teal just got off the boat

and I want to start a project of my own

only I don't want to do it with him

around just because he always has the

opinion on how I should do things I

don't know anyways so this is something

that I have been thinking about for a

while and it is actually the first sunny

day so it gives me a lot of light and it

just makes you feel better when the

sun's out anyways today I am going to be

cleaning out my closet which means I am

going to be getting rid of probably 80%

of what is in here and there is a

difference between living on a boat and

cruising on a boat in my opinion and the

biggest thing is is that when you live

on a boat you fill your boat up with

everything that you think you need

everyday living working and and and

whatever but when you're cruising on a

boat you really don't need too much and

here I actually have a lot of space a

lot of closet space but not only is it

that why but it's two rows deep so I

have another row back there and I also

have storage behind there as well which

means that not only do I have these bins

that's only half of that and then behind

there there's extra storage and then not

only that from here down to here

I also have below storage

on top of that I also have the headboard

which goes all the way down to here

with more storage and then obviously you

guys do know that my wonderful husband

built me my shoe this way everybody

knows I'm a little obsessed with heels

because I am pretty short as Emma likes

to point out and she has I'm thinking

this year she'll probably surpass me but

anyways I am gonna keep a couple heels

just in case teal decides to take me

somewhere fancy and I want to feel

whatever but most of those are gonna go

away so you guys are gonna see me tear

apart this this room

[Music]

[Music]

okay we're back

you know I've been feeling well enough

that I've actually been inside the sugar

scoops past couple days been working

down in here actually I have some heat

in there curing some epoxy right now

it's starting to get those nine to core

panels all done but I'm not gonna bring

the camera down there because everything

I was doing on this side is basically

what already did on that side once I get

caught up both sides and I'm doing

something new I'll share it with you

guys but for now I've got my projects

going on here I'm too excited to check

this out hopefully I ordered the right

thing gonna side check it out

before I crack this open I'm gonna show

you why I'm mad excited when we bought

the boat it was all sorts of old

paperwork on here and we weeded through

it but I saved a few that were

interesting here so this was one look at

this it's our ship identification card

for going through the Panama Canal this

boat has gone through the Panama Canal

thought that was pretty cool but this is

the one right here

this little piece of paper it was just a

half a sheet somebody printed this off

this is definitely our boat here and

it's an old picture because the windows

are a little bit different hatches are

different everything's different sail

plan it's an old picture but look at the

bottom here Malta holes January February

1996 I looked online trying to find a

copy that article multihull stood does

not have those articles online back that

far so I went to ebay went to Craigslist

I've been searching trying to find an

old copy but every time I go to a flea

market I pan through all of their old

magazines and trying to find this

magazine well I've been looking for a

long time while I was sick had a little

time I found it on eBay I found this

magazine on eBay so I'm excited to see

the rest of this and maybe one page

maybe ten pages I don't know

this will be fun let's crack this open

and there it is

make sure the date matches

January for every 96 ok looks like it's

in good condition

oh let's look in here look through the

contents

page 47 looks like I am in luck

it's nice Chris copy - oh the bindings

falling apart a bit but here it is right

here well shoot it is falling apart

little no well it's an old magazine look

at this there's the picture and now I

have this article to read well the pages

are perfect I'm gonna scan these in

before this gets in damage go 1 2 3 4 5

five pages this will be some interesting

reading I can't wait

finally this is cool okay I'm happy

about my magazine that'll be some good

reading tonight attempted to pick it up

right now but I just got too many things

going on

I still got my projects outside it's

getting blustery out here and I still

have 90 corset now I better get all that

picked up get a couple of things done

meanwhile here's lend clanking hangers

down here let's check out what she's up

to

oh the doors closed oh you're on the

ground is this this is a big project it

is I mean this is just the closet so far

look at this this is like careful it's

not that bad it's just a closet right

now just try to figure out what okay so

you have all this up here all this back

here piles out here have you started

sorting what I took everything out these

are things that I wanted oh the small

pile oh cool I'm going to pack up I have

to go through that to see what I'm gonna

give away I'm just sitting here with my

shoes oh oh not all of them you get to

keep a few pair aren't you I'm gonna

keep a few but not much but I have it

there's a lot of lockers in here

headboards full six lockers on the other

side and then we still have the other

stateroom which is filled with clothes

so I think I need a glass of wine or two

to just kind of loosen it up otherwise I

want to keep everything okay

wines coming I'll be right back

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

well I had a chance to read through this

last night I read through it twice will

it be honest two and a half times almost

three times through this it's just

filled with technical information and

that's what I was looking for I'm

looking for a lot of things I'm just

like any boat any older boat I mean this

boat is 26 years old this year I'm just

looking for a little bit of the history

and this fills in the birth of sp basic

talks a lot about the construction talks

about design the concepts behind it

talks about the naval architect

performance aspects it's a great article

and I will actually scan this in and put

copies of this on our website we'll put

a link in the description below so

thrilled to help us it's very

interesting reading the article it

sounds a little bit like an

advertisement to help promote the boat

but that's expected but I'm just tickled

with all this new information to help

build the history for our boat so good

stuff in here

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I also found this one I found this one

at a flea market a few years ago I heard

if anybody's ever seen some the sailors

multi hell guide I was at a flea market

saw this and just ran my hand through it

and it happened to open up to this page

this was exciting for me I found our

boat did enough

sailors multi-holder Guide 2nd edition

page 254 and this gives a lot of the

specifications and information that I

had never seen before so this was the

thrill so little by little I'm starting

to piece together the history of this

boat and eventually I'll learn it all I

mean I still don't know much this boat

was built in the early 90s 1993 in Key

West Florida by a company called master

mold composite services Jase Hobbs was

the designer and from there I don't know

much about who owned the boat where it

went

we know the previous owner he had

repowered SP basic in Florida with new

diesel engines went through the Panama

Canal up to the Bay Area and then up to

the Pacific Northwest and we purchased

her there so we could piece together

over the last 10 12 years but there's a

gap and we'll slowly figure it out maybe

somebody knows a little information

about this boat the previous name of

this boat was flying fish and it bounced

around in the Florida Keys a dozen years

so I know somebody knows something but

for now I keep doing my research and

it's fun it's fun I enjoyed this end of

it and starting to piece in these these

missing puzzle pieces and we're learning

as we go

[Music]

tempis yeah he's out okay let's go see

how the girls are doing they're still

down here sorting clothes going through

those lockers okay uh-huh I see all new

stuff how's it going well let's get it

to go do this I know so you know what I

think some of this stuff Emma will fit

now okay keep at it

I'll be back feels good though

feels good to get all this stuff bagged

up and off the boat we'll be doing this

for the next two months going through

every nook and cranny of this boat and

we want to be lean and efficient when we

start cruising so we're just heading

back after dropping off the first load

of clothes we're really lucky that we

live in the city and there is multiple

women shelters dedicated to helping

women get back into the work field so I

feel pretty good about dropping off my

old office clothes and it goes directly

to them instead of just going to a local

Goodwill or Salvation Army plus it gets

us out and getting a little exercise in

the mean time as well so oh my god so

there was so hard on us

you got youth on your side some are

heading back now for his second load

heels working in here in the port side

sugar scoop and I'm sure the heat out

here also to stay away from what's

happening inside as much as we're

getting through and lightening up the

load it is chaos here I mean for me it's

controlled chaos but teal this just

drives them crazy yeah so let's get back

to it and we are making a huge dent on

this boat the chaos has been put to

order I was able to whittle everything

down to these two boxes to put in

storage and the rest of it we donated to

charity and that made us feel really

good this is just the beginning it

wasn't as painful as I thought so that's

good the other thing is is that teal

gave me a challenge a weight-loss

challenge for the boat and we are going

to try to find a thousand pounds of

things to get rid of before we set sail

so challenge accepted and that doesn't

mean just my things

it means Steel's tools too I'm going

through all your nuts and bolts I know

some things you need to keep but you

don't need multiples of everything no I

totally agree with you I don't need two

drills I don't need five Sanders well we

need a couple drills you don't need that

many Sanders no will Wilden narrow it

down I guarantee you I can come up with

half of that weigh it myself easily oh I

know you will I know

but it was a good start right it was

good I feel good we all done I'm done

today but I think that I was able to get

about almost 200 pounds off well I'm

gonna weigh it and we're gonna see where

you're at so we'll put that at the top

of the screen how much weight

so we'll do a countdown yes right

countdown the thousand pound challenge

countdown okay like it I like it a lot

[Music]

check it out guys

I have an empty closet I never thought

cause it actually happened but engineers

I know

empty hangers so this is the extent of

my closet right now it just motivates us

to kind of go through the rest of the

boat yeah I get things ready for sailing

yep
