I remember you talking, Huub, several times about looking back at your life without the regret of having ignored it's value or having lived it the way you choose. I think it is built into your "hard drive" as well as Daniela's. Otherwise you both would not be working so hard on the mutual dream. The other 'blessing' is the gift of each other and having no regrets about giving all to one another. You're both remembering these things it appears. Stay safe both of you.

[@HuubVlogs]

Thank you Dave, I agree!

[@Mark-abc]

@@HuubVlogs You’re polluting the ground.

[@ikerlezertua4867]

Cheer up guys. Recently I was scratching, repairing, painting... my little 20-foot boat and I know how hard it is, I can't even imagine what it will be like to do it with that piece of catamaran. If this stage doesn't separate you, nothing will 😅. Keep it up, you have a lot of merit.

[@Matt-bj6cy]

I know the scrapping and the soon to be sanding is hard and tedious, but you can take pride in all you do. I like when you say that you are going to do it right and make the dream boat. Just do not get in a hurry, even though you have done 3 episodes on the scrapping at least it is done right and with blood, sweat and tears. Just a few extra minutes on any project to do it right and make it look nice will be your PRIDE in the months ahead. Daniela, you have a wonderful girl, cherish her and support her. This is a time for both of you to grow together because you are doing this restore of your home, make it nice inside for her so she takes pride in it. Remember also that less is better. You know how much you had in that locker on the monohull when you went to fix the steering. Every space does not need to have things in it. Trust me I know after 30 plus years of boat life, 7 Atlantic crossings and now on my 2nd circumnavigation. All my best to both of you. Fairwinds....

[@HuubVlogs]

Thanks Matt! Absolutely agree! We are in no rush, the only goal is to have a great result on what should be the boat for the next 10 years!

I see your faith in God and it blesses me to see you both living the dream together now. Keep up the faith in God and each other!It’s good to see how hard you both work to achieve your dreams. I feel like if I put half the effort your guys have in working on this dream of a better life on the seas, I could achieve some more of my dreams. You are both so incredibly inspiring! I will try to be a Finacial blessing to y’all as soon as possible! Because the value of your videos far exceeds watching movies and tv shows etc!

You are doing a great job. Ignore the haters, they don't realize this is real life and not a made-for-tv fictional show.

Maybe the crab didn't like being near the ocean and that is why he came over to be your friend. Seeing you wear a mask and gloves all of the time while scraping reminded me of how difficult it was for me trying to breathe while wearing a mask during Covid restrictions and how sweaty my hands get when wearing non-leather gloves when working on projects around the house. Todays vlog was very enjoyable, Thanks for sharing.

[@frederickschuster7453]

Using a hooked paint scraper? Sharpen the blade with a file, cut straight across the edge to turn up a burr. Sharpen with a few strokes every 10 minutes or so. You’ll be amazed how long a blade lasts, and how effective it is when sharp. I scraped my entire 28’ Islander with one blade.

[@faircompetition1203]

I like that cat , nothing too extreme either on the fast or cruising side , the saldrives are protected and so are the rudders by the skeg . They did not try to cram too much into the interior either . Looks to be pretty decent . Not sure of the build quality but I am sure we will find out as you dig into the repairs of the keel. Going to need more opening windows , but that will come later .

Thx for the video , dunno why your using scrapers , maybe no electricity ? you could take that down to gelcoat in a day easy with 40 grit an move on , Wonderful effort though 🙂

[@bryanbadger6841]

Hi Huub and Daniela. Down here in Nz, we were able to get an antifoul softener. Like an acid. It softened the antifoul, so that we could remove it easily. Sorry I can't remember the product brand name, but it was great. Obviously we had to wear protective gear. Surely the local yacht chandlery will stock something.? Looking forward to the day you sail away. Thank you for sharing. Atb.

repairing the keel is a big job as it is structural and they set the entire weight of the boat on it . I am sure you will do fine with it but remove all the interior where it is , grind it all back and glass it back in stronger than it was . Oh and make certain it is square to the boat and other keel

[@louisavondart9178]

You should have kept the crab. They dont eat much, never need exercise and would have been great company on your travels. It could have had it's own blog !

For all my years in boat building and knowledge, I can not get bottom paint on me. I'm very reactive to it. I would strongly suggest repairing the cracks from the inside of the boat before aggressively moving in and making HOME out of the boat. From what I have seen so far. There are some extensive levels of repair you will have to deal with to fix the structure of the boat.

Watching you scrape is hard...we used citristrip a chemical stripper and put thin plastic poly sheets over it so it would not dry out because it needs to be left on for a long time, alot longer then stated on bottle. It made scraping go 10 times faster. Sanders clog up with years and years of bottom paint.
