[@reyarmas7]

we add a few drops of lemon ..... and its flavor is sublime

[@whotknots]

Seeing all those singed plastic bags really emphasized the Mag-nitude of the kaboom old mate. What a flaming relief neither of you were hurt and Nutshell did not sustain critical damage!👍

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Hi whotknots. It was amazing that Nutshell survived as well as she did. We are rebuilding her. It's taking time but we'll get there. W.

[@TheBoatingAdventure]

Doing a great job there fixing up the damage. That ball fire extinguisher looks like a good idea. Cheers guys thanks stay safe. Alan x

[@irenemathieson4229]

I am with you Wendy, there is no way I could swallow an oyster!

[@peterstarkey1360]

Oysters....yummo....like your hat too....cheers

[@tophatter15]

A magnificent yacht loved by two beautiful people. Love the way u are doing your repairs. Cheers !🍷🍷🍷🍷

[@JCrook1028]

Piece by piece the old girl is coming back together. You guys are amazing. :)

[@lakehunter48p55]

cutting torch and a hammer you can fix anything. Never give up on old, broken, worn stuff. A little love and it will work again.

[@itsmedaveh5516]

Love the positive outlook you two have. Really enjoy your videos.

[@anthonymccabe7800]

Loved seeing "Nutshell" skimming along and in her element again.

[@garyrolf4723]

lovely way to spend your life thanks guys

[@neilmcgarrity178]

You pair are a inspiration keep it up🤘👍

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks Neil. Cheers

[@ian-c.01]

That's an interesting way to show the reassembly of poor old Nutshell, much better than having long episodes of sadly broken parts being fixed. I have limited experience of a task such as that but I'm impressed at the way you tackle it as just another part of what you do, an event like that is life changing to a lot of people but you just see it as another chapter of the book ! Good on yer guys !

[@LifeinaNutshell]

The job was to big to tackle in one go so we are just gently putting her back together as we go.

[@bradbusch9585]

Great video guys That’s the best way to eat oysters take care

[@charlespowers850]

If you have any spare pieces of teak you can sand it and collect the dust, mix it with some wood glue to make a putty you can fill those holes with. takes stain well and will not be as visible as driving in pieces of teak.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Great idea. I’ll collect the dust as we sand things.

[@dianer777]

I'm with you Wendy, bloody oysters. 😊

[@SVZonda]

Wonderfull sailing... and oyster eating!!

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Oyster Stew Is Palletable, Butt All The Rare Ones You Can Have! LOL Wow That's Quite A Bangup Job Y'alls Have Done To Puzzle Her Back Together Close As New!? Thanks Mates

[@christinehammell6365]

Beautiful sailing . I love oysters. Never had them like that. They're farmed here in Scotland. Great to see the pieces going back together, best way of getting the perfect fit. The fire extinguisher ball looks like a good idea. Thanks as always

[@Brians911]

Just love your videos..such patience and love between you two!

[@kennethmiller6158]

There is a video how those fireball on you tube look it up?

[@bobjoncas2814]

...lookin' good, catch you later..lol..keep safe you two..

[@maryc7830]

Another lovely video.💕

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent vid ya'll.

[@judyfisk9657]

Try a spoon lure everything eats them and a good glue to use on teak is epi glue from international easy to use and drys clear tape around the edgers of the cracks to minimise mess light sand with 320 sand paper with a small flat bit of wood to fair it down then varnish and the repair will blend in hope this helps you put her all back together MV Joy-c

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks for the info. I am just about to buy some more glue so I will give it a go. Cheers

[@ushillbillies]

Stop NOW.. NUTSHELL is up.. relax and have a cuppa and see what Magnus and Wendy got up to this week.. as usuaul not disappointed .. So does Nutshell have a bilge blower ? I ate my first oyster ever this spring after being cooked in the shell on a beach fire.. YUMMY !!

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Nutshell is getting a bilge blower when we fit the new propane/gas alarm system.

[@JCrook1028]

@@LifeinaNutshell Is now a good time to go induction stove? Can you gen enough electricity for one?

[@andypowell4098]

Hi both,great video again, just a thought could we have a date mention so as to keep track with you. Don,t know when this last episode covered date wise . Thanks again.

[@gebi4pejo1]

You should do a series of sailing just around the Whitsundays it’s just “bloody bewdeful, mates” It never gets tired especially looking down from Bowen.thru all those islands.thats how I see it, only been there a couple of times but only for a few days.

[@ramseybarber8312]

Hi Wendy did the oysters work ???.

[@whotknots]

Can you eat those whacking great pearl-shell oysters with shells as big as a bread and butter plate? I reckon they would be just about the size of the steaks you get in restaurants these days!

[@LifeinaNutshell]

They are very yummy.

[@rogers53]

U r driving me crazy with the oysters where I'm at in the states they r stupid expensive,luv ur vids.

[@normanboyes4983]

So you add forensic carpentry to your considerable skill set.👍 I know zilch about those fireballs but I would not want to sleep with one! Maybe redeploy to saloon?

[@LifeinaNutshell]

I agree. It wasn’t such a great idea to mount it there. We will take your advice and move it into the Saloon. Cheers

[@lakehunter48p55]

forensic carpentry. funny

[@hogey5016]

I agree kids, check out the actual compression from those ( Mini Bombs)?....Might not work next to your head Magnuss.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

I will check it out.

[@tomas5376]

Can you carry the tinny on deck and do you have a sun shade for it??⛵️⛵️

[@LifeinaNutshell]

We will tow it or carry in on davits. Yes we have a sun shade.

[@Sailspirit99]

Please, if taking oysters off the rocks, do not leave shell on the rock. The smoothness of the inside of the shells prevents more oysters from growing there ever again.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks for the info. We will do that in the future.

[@lakehunter48p55]

what happens when an oyster dies on the rocks? they do die naturally dont they?? just asking, I ve seen big piles of oyster shells where octopus has eaten them and nothing grows on them. You would thing something would eat them.

[@914va]

Pass the Tabasco please!

[@iainlyall6475]

forget all the pretty scenery shots, show us that exploding anti-fire ball. i have never seen that anywhere on yt or anywhere else for that matter. oh ya, the pretty shots were nice :-)

[@LifeinaNutshell]

I’m going to do it in the next few weeks.

[@shanesooth6267]

Great invention

[@iainlyall6475]

@@LifeinaNutshell NEXT FEW WEEKS! :-(

[@Timmygobang]

I've never seen one either. Looks like something you throw in the washing machine :D Look forward to seeing the test Magnus. We have one of these guys www.hydrohobby.co.uk/mabo-automatic-fire-extinguisher.html

[@richardkaye2228]

Hey old mate I love your hat where do you buy these hats chow

[@LifeinaNutshell]

It is a 25 year old Akubra hat that has been around the traps.

[@richardkaye2228]

Life in a Nutshell damb it I knew I wouldn’t be able to buy cool 😎

[@karl9460]

Ball needs a face and a name... Wilson welcome back to castaway.

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Love it. Cheers

[@melissamoore4339]

Oysters are so much better in stew or fried.

[@halverdha1]

I don’t think you’re having those fire extinguisher bombs basically or a good idea I don’t know if you’ve seen them explored but they’re very powerful and I don’t know how sensitive they are to heat leak in the engine room you might want to reconsider that you don’t want that thing to go off anywhere near you

[@LifeinaNutshell]

Thanks for the info. We might reconsider the mounting location in that case.

[@halverdha1]

Life in a Nutshell I don’t know how big the compassion from the exploding fire extinguisher would be in a confined space and I don’t want either of you to get hurt you already almost died when the explosion happened, just consider it please

[@shanesooth6267]

Do some test explosions on an open fire and inside a wooden box. Be safe doing it

[@halverdha1]

Shane Sooth Or they can just watch a video of it there’s a several crazy Russian hacker he’s done it he didn’t know what was gonna happen and close the channel what’s inside is they’ve done it

[@shanesooth6267]

Andrew Halverson Great information I hope Magnus sees your comments. Thanks

[@gary7684]

Going by the look on her face I don't think Wendy likes oysters
