#79 - PAINTING the DECKS on our not so RUSTY STEEL boat ⛵

[@OldSkoolF]

Melissa is a machine! She doesn't stop... I wish I had her energy... Love to see the Family supporting each other.

[@MrELOIGOMES]

Deck work was great. With each new video, the work is being done, which is remarkable. Captain Jack's participation is always a separate chapter! Kisses & hugs from this old Brazilian sea wolf.

[@johnoleary9317]

I've never sailed, or repaired a boat. But your series , content presentation and more important Family loveliness Are addictive and inspiring. Jack is a man in the making. Honest relaxed attitude. You should know already. Thank you.

[@doganerdogdu5730]

I'm watching from Turkey and I'm in love with this family. You're all so skilled and no one is complaining :D Melissa you're amazing despite the cold weather, Jack is such a good kid, Andy is a master. The boat will be great.

[@healingvibrations7845]

For a young man who was born profoundly deaf young jack"s speech is amazing,,what wonderful parents jack has. Loving watching all of the graft going into m.v melody Honestly,,you would never know that jack has hearing impairment,, his speech is spectacular for a boy with cochlear implants,,never ceases to impress me - jack is not afraid of hard work unlike me at his age - did i heck want to work hard,,again,,a testament to his parents leadership and encouragement in his young life. Following these vlogs and truly enjoying all of them

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you :) he does really well doesnt he :)

[@healingvibrations7845]

@@SailingMelody yes,,jack is doing amazingly well quite honestly,,that is down to both of you fantastic people who are wonderful parents who encourage jack and who are letting him learn all manner of skills needed in life in a manner that is so inspiring and never have i ever seen nor heard jack ever appear despondent,nor discouraged from achieving all that is possible in life to achieve. My heart soared when jack appeared saying disability should not be something that becomes a self limiting factor as in should not hold an individual back from achieving in life - that's amazing - from the mouths of babes as the saying goes, children are brutally honest and they don't mince their words - they say it as they see it.

[@dwel2928]

"Not so rusty" indeed! It will be a showpiece when you're done. And your family is an inspiration!

[@chrisdooley6468]

I continue to be very pleasantly surprised at how very well spoken Jack is and how good he is at writing. Those book smarts along with his eagerness go tackle jobs with his hands will make him invaluable on your adventure and super successful in his adult life. Well done parents 👍🏻

[@rbeehner2]

I agree. The young man is intelligent, has charisma, personality, and a great disposition and Jack posses an inner light born from a loving environment. Great job Mom and Dad.

[@dwaynentinabunt1200]

@@rbeehner2 All in a time when way too many other kids are falling behind. It's odd great but odd. How many kids today can find an answer Without Google? Scary thought. That doesn't happen by accident.

Thank you Oscar. It’s the only way I can get my head around what needs to be done

[@arcenciel2968]

More important than how the boat is finally going to turn out, is the great family that you are and the values you impregnate your son with. Congratulations.

[@kimfoots1288]

Great video waving 👋 From Maryland US be safe and have fun

[@mauivi1113]

Bist wonderful watching this. Go on 💪

[@JoeTheLion60]

Jack - Kiwigrip was developed by a New Zealand yachtsman - so its more about Kiwis being a NZ icon..than fruit :-) PS The Rocna anchor - also from NZ - has a kiwi bird design in its name.

[@erikflickinger1828]

I'd venture to say that if they snuck the term "Avocado Grip" into future episodes there would be quite a few of us who would smile, nod, chuckle, and know exactly what was meant 🥰

[@allanwood3562]

Kiwigrip is great stuff.

Thanks jack nice story

[@wildandbarefoot]

Well done team family

[@wilfrennecke9501]

Hello you three from British Columbia, Canada on the west coast. It is called "kiwi grip" because it is from New Zealand originally. We love you 3 hard workers and look forward to your sailing adventures. Jack is a smashing crew member and helper. Maybe some day you will sail into our harbour at Powell River, B.C. and continue on to Desolation Sound named by Captain Vancouver because there was no area to grow crops as it is mostly fjord-like, beautiful and serene. We sail a Panda 40 "Warlord" black hull, Glad to see you are wearing protection gear in all instances. Cheers, Bonnie and Wilf

[@SailingMelody]

A black hull is just the coolest thing ever!!! Hopefully Kiwi Grip themselves well get in touch 😂😂

[@markdoey1309]

Love watching your videos , what an amazing project to undertake. I wish all three of you the best .

Lovely comment. We are very proud too 😊

[@donlunn792]

Absolutely brilliant job guys. I’m still catching up on episodes. I would love to have done what you are doing. I had a 23ft yacht back in the eighties.But my late Wife was not (into it) So now I’m too old to start again. Great Channel. Absolutely binge watching 😀😀

[@dwaynentinabunt1200]

Hang on to those forceps! They work in all the tight spots! Where fingers don't fit. The long ones are hard to get a hold of. That case was also a nice touch. If it's water proof, Then it's for Passports and whatnot. That's awesome.

[@SailingMelody]

It certainly is and yes passport are more important than camera gear actually aren’t they

[@dwaynentinabunt1200]

Yeah. You don't have to sail very far and suddenly, Those things are near impossible to replace.

[@SailingMelody]

We will certainly be getting more of them 😁

The musical interlude is so great too. The pefect all-round-channel. The work is coming along nicely and so encouraging to see your progress. I look forward to seeing you in Adelaide, South Austtralia one day. Bravo Turner family.

This was amazing! All of it!

[@ianlangridge3412]

Hi. I am from New Zealand where our native flightless bird is a KIWI. As such we idenify ourselves as " kiwis" as no other country has kiwis as a native bird to them. I would say that the name kiwigrip is not a reflection on the grip of the bird but they do have very strong legs as they " dig" for worns and grubs in the bush. Not sure if kiwigrip is a New Zealand product. Checkout your container as the answer may lie there. Not sure if you have had an answer to this as we have just found you on Utube today.Love what you are doing and will continue follow with great interest. Cheers and good fortune. Regards Ian L

[@mustafababdullah2485]

A suggestion for passing stainless/white metal bolts threw iron/steel use Teflon tape it keeps the iron away from the bolt

[@MarcelEling]

Really nice story it seems to be, Jack. Good work done on the deck.
