4:00
ready huh you're now doing the sail
4:02
drives
4:03
this is coat one of four
4:05
oh
4:06
i know i said you had to drip
4:09
or maybe i thought it didn't want to
4:11
stay
4:12
the hardest part is getting up in here
4:13
right now
4:14
but i've learned do this first
4:17
don't do it
4:18
after you paint the sail drive
4:27
cl drive looks pretty good you prepped
4:29
it all nice and perfect yeah i like it i
4:32

4:40
hottest hour of the day i feel like i
4:43

this is the first oh
5:00
this is much thicker than the last time
5:02
we applied this yeah that spray on you
5:05
can't get very thick this is uh i think
5:07
gonna be our solution to
5:09
keeping the growth down on these for
5:10
sure
5:12
but although
5:13
our sail drives are in pretty good shape
5:16
yeah they are look at these suckers they
5:18
look brand new again
5:19
we'll see how long that lasts this
5:21
tropical weather sure
5:23
eats away from fast
5:25
it has been a busy day in the yard
5:29
right now i counted i think it's six or
5:31
seven cats
5:33

5:35
there's any more room and yet they're
5:36

5:45
many boats are behind us they want out
5:47
they're waiting for us
5:49
we even have an amell right behind us
5:52
right now
5:56

6:06
the inner lugs
6:08
uh thinners nothing kills it

6:22
couple of uh packages left of uh

rebrand this
6:42
[Music]
6:54
[Music]
7:07
well uh we have been staying at the
7:10
casabella cruise and we have really been
7:13
enjoying ourselves being not on the
7:15
heart while we're on the heart alex who
7:18
is the owner of this amazing facility
7:22
invited us and she wanted to host a
7:24
happy hour so obviously i can't come
7:27
into canada so
7:30
i made a couple appetizers
7:32
[Music]
7:35
spending this time at our home away from
7:37
home was a wonderful break from basic as
7:40
much as we loved being on board this was
7:42
a special treat for us as soon as we
7:44
arrived at this little slice of heaven
7:46
we were immediately welcomed by our
7:47
hosts alex and kyle who just recently
7:50
purchased this airbnb
7:52
they even hosted a guest happy hour
7:54
while we were there to enjoy great
7:55
conversation with the other guests
7:57
provided yummy appetizers and drinks
8:00
thanks for the great hospitality guys
8:02

8:15
big day today
8:16

8:21
[Music]
8:24
i've been uh getting over there earlier
8:26
lynn kind of sets em up with schoolwork
8:30
here at the casita
8:32
and then
8:33
she meets me there in about
8:35
an hour so
8:38
she'll get the paint mixing i'll
8:40
hopefully have a one hole taped off by
8:42
then
8:43
and
8:44
we'll try to get
8:46
two full
8:48
layers of bottom paint down today
8:52
i think it's doable
8:54
just need a little bit of dry time
8:56
between
8:57
there's plenty more
9:06
okay
9:08
spent the last
9:10
hour so far
9:11
taping off the water line
9:15
got a ways to go
9:19
i'm about three quarter done
9:21
got the far side to go
9:23
they're watching over there just trying
9:24
to stay out of their way a little bit
9:35
okay the hole is 100 ready i taped off
9:38
and then went back and stuff sanded
9:40
everything else
9:41
i think everything looks good
9:43
we'll start getting that annie fouling
9:45
on now
9:46
try to get two maybe three coats on
9:48
today
10:05
[Music]
10:16
[Music]
10:26
[Music]
10:38
[Music]
10:46
okay first coat is down
10:52
it feels so good to have a fresh coat
10:56
instant gratification look at this i'm
10:59
loving it
11:03
everything's turned out real good
11:07
took us about almost a gallon
11:10
close to a gallon to apply one coat not
11:12
much wetted surface under here actually
11:14
what are you talking about three quarts
11:15
you're right we stopped before and it
11:17
took us an hour and a half
11:19
not bad that's because we're
11:20
professionals that's right we've done
11:23
this before
11:26
i know you love to hear that
11:28
yeah
11:30
[Music]
11:40
you ready to sweat
11:41
round two
11:42
round two
11:47
this is just a new experience because it
11:50
is so
11:51
hot
11:52
i don't
11:54
i'm not saying i'm enjoying the
11:57
humidity
11:58
but the dry time is pretty good
12:00
yes everything does drive out
12:04
choose your weapon of choice which one
12:06
do you want
12:08
weenie roller on the right
12:14
just running out the paint on all the
12:16
leading edges here
12:19
i think we're done
12:21
did you break a sweat
12:23
just a little bit
12:28
this is the moment i love
12:30
peeling tape
12:33
i think you did good we got good tape
12:36
but it's so hot out here i know scared
12:38
it's gonna melt to it like that sunny
12:40
side over there
12:42
dangerous
12:44
but look at that
12:45
nice crisp line
12:53
look at the concentration on your face
12:57
i just don't want to peel off
13:00
any paint or
13:02
leave any tape remnants
13:05
it's a little warm
13:07
and the other side is only hotter i know
13:11
get this tape off before it gets blurry
13:18
[Music]
13:27
[Music]
13:32
wow
13:34
a bit sore today that was a lot of
13:36
painting yesterday but it feels good to
13:38
have the heavy lifting done
13:40
it's all
13:41
downhill from here just a lot of little
13:43
tasks to do
13:45
before we uh relaunch on let's see two
13:48
days from now
13:50
it's over a holiday weekend right now in
13:53
mexico so there'll be no working in the
13:55
yard
13:56
uh they won't be launching or hauling
13:58
boats i mean
13:59
until monday morning and that's when
14:01
we'll splash
14:03
so on that till then
14:04
i'm just going to knock out some
14:06
projects that need to happen
14:08
you know i still got to get the blades
14:11
back on i've got
14:13
some touch-up painting to do around the
14:14
water line that i can't do while we're
14:16
in the water
14:18
so
14:19
i'll be doing those today
14:22
and just some other odds and ends
14:24
we'll see how much i get done
14:26
but it feels good to get the paint down
14:28
the what looks great
14:29
[Applause]
14:50
those look pretty good
14:54
you think i like them better raw but i
14:56
am getting tired of scraping these
14:58
suckers so we're gonna
14:59
put a little more anti-falling on these
15:01
this time
15:03
get a couple uh
15:05
layers of trilox on here
15:22
this is the fourth coat on the cell
15:24
drive
15:25
i used an aerosol uh
15:27
version to spray up into the vents
15:30
get some protection
15:31
with where barnacles grow
15:33
but we're rolling on on the surface get
15:36
a much thicker
15:37
layer
15:39
this is the fourth and final coat
15:44
it's looking good
15:46
feeling pretty good about the protection
15:48
of these
15:51
everything's looking real good
15:53
sail drives
15:55
are done
15:56
all i have to do is uh put new zincs on
15:59
and put the props back on i'll do that
16:01
tomorrow after everything dries
16:03
bottom paint's done
16:07
everything's looking
16:08
real clean
16:10
i've been
16:10
layering trilux 3-3
16:13
on our kiwi props
16:16
and
16:17
i'm just probably going to empty this
16:19
can out on here i'm just making sure
16:21
that i have good motion in between each
16:22
coat make sure i'm not building up too
16:24
much but this comes out real thin so
16:27
i'll do what i can to protect these
16:29
props in the past we haven't put
16:30
anything on there and i spent hours
16:32
scraping these every week so
16:34
hopefully this buys me some time
16:38
besides that
16:42
looks like we're going to be ready
16:44
got a few other cosmetic projects i'll
16:46
work on tonight and tomorrow
16:49
and i'll do those next but the bottom is
16:51
uh looking sweet
16:56
one of my favorite things about la cruz
16:57
was the nightlife as soon as the sun
16:59
goes down the seemingly quiet town
17:01
lights up
17:02
[Music]
17:08
it was holy week's there were tons of
17:10
extra festivities everywhere
17:12
[Music]
17:17
[Applause]
17:22
every night we would walk the streets
17:24
around the main square checking out the
17:25
carnival rides
17:29
[Music]
17:31
games
17:36
and street vendors along the way
17:41
i don't know what was better the nice
17:43
people
17:45
[Music]
17:50
come on
17:58
[Music]
18:06
[Music]
18:14
amazing food or how cute this place was
18:17
but this has grown to be one of my
18:18
favorite towns
18:26
okay
18:26
another early start
18:29
shouldn't be too bad today
18:31
just gonna button up things
18:35
okay last day on the hard
18:37
it's been a holiday weekend
18:40
so it's been quiet
18:45
we'll splash first thing tomorrow
18:47
morning
18:49
hopefully they'll uh leave us in the
18:50
slings for an hour too so we could touch
18:52
up underneath the pads but
18:54
i think they have a busy schedule also
18:56
tomorrow
18:57
i guess we'll see
19:00
our plan is to splash in the water
19:03
and then uh get out of here
19:06
weather window
19:08
to move north is
19:10
uh kind of opened up this week so we
19:12
want to
19:13
start heading north and make some ground
19:15
while we have the
19:16
weather in our favor
19:19
we'll see how that goes i'm excited
19:22
get the boat back in the water it's only
19:23
been out for six days but
19:26
it just feels weird it's nice staying in
19:28
a
19:29
in the casita but
19:31
it's not home
19:37
okay first thing i'm going to do this
19:38
morning is get the props back on kiwi
19:41
props
19:42
have the anti-foul on them
19:45
everything has great motion still got
19:47
about
19:48
four or five coats on there i've got all
19:50
my tools lined up new zincs i've cleaned
19:53
up the collars cleaned up the bolts
19:56
and will grease
19:58
uh all the fittings after it's installed
20:02
they look kind of stealthy now don't
20:04
they first thing i'm doing is cleaning
20:07
up
20:08
the surface where the zinc
20:11
uh connects i want to make sure that
20:13
that zinc has a nice marriage to this
20:15
aluminum
20:16
body here
20:22
so
20:39
oh yeah okay
20:41
say what's next after this
20:44
i'm filming you right now
20:45
that's good
20:48
jerk
20:55
so much precision
20:57
precision
20:59
just gooping it in there
21:04
here's the fun part
21:06
i know this is the dirty part
21:09
you just give me the finger
21:16
just like frosting
21:18
something like that
21:22
see if you could do this all i can do is
21:24
just line it up
21:26
slide it in
21:30
why is that only so hard for me oh there
21:33
it goes isn't that nice
21:35
so just put yeah just get a little bit
21:37
around there
21:38
on the threads
21:47
pretty simple huh
21:49
yep
21:50
good you could do it next time
21:52
now that you're properly trained
21:56
okay
22:01
gotta just push it in a little bit
22:03
huh
22:04
i don't want to force it pop it in a
22:06
little
22:08
i can't
22:09
i don't want to hit the blade
22:12
okay fine
22:14
there we go
22:21
you'll feel it definitely comes to the
22:23
end no it kind of feels nice
22:31
did you put on the retaining nut
22:35
the retaining nut did i forget something
22:37
yes back it off are you serious no i'm
22:39
not serious you have it such a door
22:42
i hate you
22:45
two coats
22:46

22:50
and two coats over here on the dev
22:52
sander
22:53
everything's 100 done now new zincs
22:57
uh
22:57
new paint on the blade
22:59
looped all the fittings there's
23:02
five different uh
23:03
fittings here
23:05
got it all greased up we're ready to
23:07
roll
23:08
i think everything else is about done
23:11
we splash in the morning
23:17
it's a big day this morning
23:19
so getting up a little bit earlier
23:22
still a little dark out but
23:25
sun's coming up fast yard opens up
23:28
right now and i don't know what the
23:31
schedule is
23:32
how early they're gonna lift us up in
23:34
the sling so i want to be there
23:37
we have to prep
23:39
sand and
23:40
paint underneath the stands
23:44
and then they'll probably hang us for
23:46
just about an hour before they drop us
23:51
but we're going in the water this
23:52
morning
23:54
you know everything's running through my
23:55
mind and i remember everything
23:58
in my mind saying yes i remembered
24:03
but i still have doubts
24:07
so this is the big day
24:09
we are going back into the water today
24:12
so uh i'm heading over to the yard right
24:14
now
24:16
to see if they've already put us into
24:17
the sling so then we can do the final
24:19
coat
24:20
for the areas that uh
24:22
our boat was posted up on
24:25
and then
24:26
