Back to MV Geordie! | Fo'c'sle Demolition Begins!

[@dreweasterbrook2003]

I'm a little surprised that a lot of your subscribers would skip the beer of the week. But I know enough about YT that it is better for you if people watch to the end. A treat to watch you and Leo on Sat. am

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Drew, you have just hit the nail quite squarely on the head! Thanks for you comment and for your continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@pageant1fd]

No beer of the week now means I watch the entire video. Your craftsmanship is far superior to provide entertainment.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you, that is precisely the intention! We really appreciate your kind words and your continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@vynleshmynle7372]

How about putting the beer of the week on the middle?? Those that don’t like it (the anti socials) can zip past it and continue to watch the remainder of the episode. Now everyone is happy.

[@petterandersson7429]

It's good to see you back on Gordy. ❤

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Peter! Some great project are coming. Thank for your comment and for your continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@108hindu]

I remember that back in the “old days” you were running diesel engines in and out of the window. 😊

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Oh gosh, how far we have come! That sure was a tough era. Thank you for your continued support and for watching. Cheers!

[@108hindu]

@ That was a tough era. As a rigger I always liked your rigging skills. I was so glad when you decided to buy a new engine. It’s a real testament to how likable you are that it only took 1 day to get the money. I was shocked to see such a amazing support from a relatively small “crew”.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

That was undoubtedly, one of the most pivotal of my life. Gratitude can hardly explain it. Thank you!

[@brian.7966]

in and out of widows ?????

[@mrclassic2284]

The new engine run in victoria harbor was a great episode

[@dwansbo]

I'm sure, if you consume, and discuss the beer of the week while carrying out the work at the same time it would make very interesting episodes.

[@amunderdog]

I remember you working on Geordie, in a mud flat, dragging engines up and down the dock.

[@chrissturgeon1571]

Back to the old 'shop'! I love to see MV Geordie getting some improvements, she and MV Poem are both such friendly looking boats. You have created something beautiful with all your labours; one small step at a time.

[@rictecilder]

Loved your video ending with any drink and opening of packages, dropping word of the week is fine saves you from extra work of shipping a tee-shirt every week.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you Ric! It was a tough decision, but we are feeling good about it. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@mickfisch96]

Hi Peter I think change is a good thing! Thanks for all your content.

[@richardstevenson8442]

ok by me that you are getting rid of beer of the week, I just drop off when it starts. Crazy about the boat work though.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Richard! That's exactly why we dropped it. KZbin doesn't like viewers leaving during an episode, so our aim was to fix this issue. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@garyphillips7993]

Great to see you back on Geordie 👍

[@jimc4731]

Good move, have your beer after the recording. Keep up the good work! 🤩 JIM 🥰

[@wornoutwrench8128]

Okay, I will own up to it, I am one of the people who skipped the beer of the week. I would stop the video and hit the thumbs up, sometimes leave a comment to try to help the channel along. I had no idea that shutting down before the end would be detrimental. Sorry Peter. I stayed to the end today before I even knew it. So I guess it works??? Anyways, love to see you back on Geordie. It is my favorite boat, Z next with Poem in last place. I would honestly love to see Poem go away so that you could put all your very creative talent all in to Geordie with a bit of Zephyrs to fill in the gaps. But that is just me...

[@bjornflood6204]

Grrrrrrreat .... back on Geordie... YES! I do enjoy the other boats too but Geordie is my favorite, where it begun.

[@RenegadeADV]

Hearing that sander is giving me flash backs to my bottom job. That overhead sanding is killer! It was a bit nostalgic watching you tear all that out having watched you build it. Glad to see progress being made on MV Geordie again, really looking forward to seeing what you do with that forward berth.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks mate! We certainly go way back you and I! Thank you for your continued support of the show. Hope all is well!

[@Twelvestonestacking]

I do... remember that!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

You've been with us for awhile! Thanks for you continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@dondonner1095]

Well then how about a sentence of the week? Like this one, Thanks for another fun and interesting video.

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment Peter and that was an ingenious idea with the router, I hope it works for you.

[@rolhoreis6187]

i really like the direction you're taking the channel ... more sophisticated programming and hands-on content . that said , i'm looking forward to observe fo'c's'le reconstruction in addition to your chain locker ideas . i see opportunities of recessed cabinetry in the bulkhead [similar in appearance to the main cabin] . great place for valves , tanks and unmentionables . insulation commentary , right-on , but also requires airflow into the void . expanded polystyrene was totally inappropriate ... loving's the craftsmanship ~ cheers

[@timothycole5212]

I liked the beer of the week and the word of the week

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Timothy, you're not alone. It was a tough decision. But I think the show will benefit. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@ian-c.01]

It's good to see you getting some work done on Geordie for a change 👍

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Ian! She's a lovely boat and deserves all that I can do for her. Thank you for your continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@mySeaPrince_]

Insulation and covering up the deck before I owned Sea Prince ended up with me replacing the deck's.. I think you should keep the outtakes at the end then fade to plain background and have an end card going to a playlist for 10 second's.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Great points! The outtakes may return, but the cards are a mainstay now. Very much appreciate your comment and your continued support of the show! Cheers!

[@mySeaPrince_]

@TravelsWithGeordie I didn't see an End Card also that is the most effective way to implement.

[@sappersteve1443]

Nice to see you working on MV Geordie Peter; you have been neglecting her for some time now, and don't forget to put the screws back on the TV?

[@craigs5212]

For your anchor solenoids, consider making a recess box to recess them behind the bulkhead into the chain locker but allowing access from the fo'c'sle. This keeps good access, protects them from the wet humid chain locker but allows easy access. Recess could be wood, fiberglass or metal. A cover door could even contain emergency activation switches.

[@davidantill6949]

Im glad to see you back working on Geordie. After all it is the boat about which the channel was created after you moved on from your Airstream. Also it does have the very best engine of the armada that you care for. I think it has the potential to win competitions should you ever decide to enter it, but more likely it will just give you, and us viewers, the pleasure of seeing it get the attention it deserves. I assume Poem got a lot of attention recently as you and Andrea needed somewhere to stay whilst you were working on Geordie for an extended period. I am pleased you have retired beer of the work as I didn't watch it (instead only watching the building work) and Im sure thats why I slightly lost the plot with the timelines and plans for the fleet. Hopefully, I will now know what your plans and intentions for the boats will be again.

[@TairnKA]

Owning a wooden boat means, no gym membership is needed. ;-D

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Heh, so true Tairn! Ironically, I do have a gym membership, though it's mostly used for the sauna and hot tub, which owning a wooden boat necessitates. Thanks for your comment and for your continued support of the show!

[@michaellovell9625]

I personally enjoyed the beer of the week. I have tried many of the brews you show cased. I really enjoy the wood working and will continue watching as long as you keep producing the show. Cheers. 🍻 🛥🇺🇸

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thank you Michael! It was always fun and I'm quite certain we will raise a pint now and then. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@toreik8035]

You should just grind down the old beam profiles to a straight 45 ¤ angle "egde/corner" . Saves you a weeks work...

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Aaakk! I couldn't do that! But thank you for trying to save me from doing some work.

[@Baba3756-n2o]

I often skip 'beer of the week'. Maybe continue with 'beer of the month'

[@Drenov]

Fantastic, very glad that beer of the week has gone. It's also great to see you back working on Geordie. Good job.

[@milt7348]

Commonly known as taking it back to the studs. Stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

So true Milt, and often the only way to really do a satisfying restoration! Cheers!

[@stevenstrating8838]

Very nice to see you back on Geordie! It simply is the one and only of all the monks you work on! Nice cabinetry and finishing a whole section of the boat should really be exciting.

[@Baba3756-n2o]

Traditionally, and I know you are a traditional fellow, the Foc'sle ( short for 'forecastle') is an above deck structure at the bow meant for crew accomdations or equipment storage. Now language changes and some may now say the foc'sle can describe above or below deck. But me thinks you know better. You are more accurate by saying you are doing a Vee Berth Demolition. You are welcome and you owe me a tee shirt. :)

[@franklinrhodevelt6441]

You knucklehead! Never give up the beer of the week..Geeez

[@DuaneElverum]

Folks, let's pile comments on. The YT algorithm loves a good brawl. How dare you call Peter a knucklehead, you libertine ;)

[@357smithster]

Congrats on losing the beer of the week segment! We will not miss it!😂

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks, it was a tough decision but we believe the show will benefit! Thanks for letting us know and for watching! Cheers!

[@drcornelius8275]

It saddens me when creators feel the need to change their shows based upon KZbin algorithms. We all end up with channels of the same mold of content. I understand it completely for the monetary benefits and while I won't miss the 'beer of the week' outro at all, it's almost like an artist changing his art for the corporation. No worries though as we all need to eat and I wish you the best of success. I will continue watching regardless! Thank you!

[@daveyporterpictures5368]

YAY!!!! NO MORE BEER OF THE WEEK!!!!!

[@mikestraker2180]

Todays take away, " ventilate over insulate " I learn something every video

[@mungmungie]

I am curious: is ventilation / insulating an either / or proposition? Also, it seems to me that your chain locker is overly generous in size. Could the bulkhead be moved forward? Yes, i regularly watched the Beer of the Week, but I can see how maybe that isn't everyone's interest. I have tried a number of the beers you have reviewed, and there are some decent brews among them.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Great point on the insulation. It isn't an either or, but the complexity of a both solution outweighs the benefit, at least in wooden boats. Also true, the bulkhead could move forward, but I don't think the effort would justify it. Thanks for commenting and for your continued support of the show!

[@WillCaldicott]

I have always watched and appreciated Beer of the Week. Sorry to see it go……

[@thegoodtom1718]

How much of a donation would you ask for a dedicated 'crew' tee shirt? I would be interested.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Interesting that you ask as crew t-shirt are coming soon! We have some details to iron out but will let you know as soon as they have arrived!

[@thegoodtom1718]

@@TravelsWithGeordie YES! Thanks.

[@DuaneElverum]

R.I.P. Beer of the Week! Perhaps you could launch a 'Find the Fat Tug' challenge by slipping the odd ale into frame now and again for us hoppy stalwarts. We'll move our BoW love to the comments and the non-beery among us will be none the wiser while we juice your algorithm. Onward.

[@brianlord2636]

I always enjoyed the beer of the week but will still love the show without it. Thanking new patrons during breaks in the work is a nice touch.

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Do you have a folk band living on the boat?

[@grahamhunter9565]

The back breaking and time consuming nature of shipwright work knows no equal. It's a pity you've retired the beer of the week, I've always watched it and I'm still trying to find Element cider. So what happened to Genoa bay boat house? Has it been sold?

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Graham! It was a tough decision, we will all miss it. The shed it still for sale. Thanks for your continued support of the show. Cheers!

[@MidnightAmratha]

Who plays the bodhran?

[@filipbruylant2021]

Peter. Your channel is by far my favourite for many years. But 3 boats and a young girlfriend is too much for even a young guy to handle. You are my favourite but it's getting out of control. All the tools plus all the stuff from a young woman on a boat..... It's not possible bro. 😢

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Well, i suppose that might consider that a concern Filip, but I can confidently say that I am happier that I've ever been.

[@JonKemp-d1q]

Good decision on retiring the beer of the week segment. That was never interesting. Carry on with the refit.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Thanks Jon! More than a few people felt as you do. Thanks for your comment and for watching!

[@dub944]

You live in the craft brewery Meca Peter… I’ve always been disappointed with how little you highlighted all the fantastic beers (literal) steps away from where you reside: Spinnakers, Moon Brewery, Herald, Whistlebuoy, Philips, Vancouver Island Brewery, Driftwood, Canoe, Ile Sauvage, Swift Brewing, Hoyne. If anything, you missed a tremendous opportunity to support local business and partner with them instead of drinking beers sent to from abroad. Just saying!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

You're so very right! It's a blessing to be here amongst all these great breweries. But to be fair, I can't profess to be a qualified beer critic and as unique and fun as BOTW was, it was a detriment to the growth of the show. Thank you for you thoughts and for watching. Cheers!

[@larrypinter3321]

Good to discard beer of the week. I always stop watching when it starts. No interest in them and most probably unavailable in Australia.

[@robertlandry5676]

Roomy there and 4 portholes. Was there a head forward back in the day?🛥️

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Keen eye Robert! Indeed there way, and there will be again! Thanks for watching and for your continued support of the show!
