It's hard on the Hard Ep1

[@pyawallah7080]

you are right, the hard is the pits, but when the white hair came I found a way that is trouble free, pay the man to do the bottom and I don't even feel guilty

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Great plan. Will get me sooner or later.

[@poerava]

I absolutely love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏽

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

You are so welcome dude.

[@peterkelly250]

Great job Norm.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks dude.

[@peterlee440]

Great Norm. Thank you. That diet seems amazing.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

It is Peter. Life changing.

[@peterlee440]

You touched on your bloods? . Don’t want to be to personal. Are they improved also?

[@ianbusby1310]

Hey Norm when I lived in the well and crabbed and fished the Jacobs Well channel was known as Wind Alley.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yeah dude. I know why after that night.

[@sentenall338]

Love your videos old mate 👍i have acquired a 24 ft masrim mono...i cant sail ..am terrified of the ocean, but love some advice 🙏🤗✌️

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Hmm dude. The learning curve will be steep. Take it slowly.

[@colinwatson5771]

That diet is working well for you. Looking good dude. Great work on the boat.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks dude. Yep. Without the diet, I wouldn't have been able to do the job.

[@ironborn2143]

this is a great channel.. very inspiring

[@timjacobson9321]

Never thought you could get up the north arm Norm

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

There are some shallow spots, but ok with a bit of tide. It's well marked

[@yarryrob]

It's nice watching other people work. However, it'll be my turn soon to get some yakka in. Always a good watch. Looking forward to future videos. All the best mate.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Thanks dude 👍 Glad it's done.

[@jonathonbeauregard4003]

Just recently found your channel and like it very much. Hoping to retire soon and looking forward to getting a boat. I have been doing the carnivore diet for about 3 months and feel 20 years younger. Looking at moving to Puerto Rico and traveling around the Caribbean.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Sounds like a great plan Dude. The lifestyle is great.

[@stephenhartwick2468]

Anywhere there is information on what boat model etc his cat is.Its perfect

[@brianmalady1190]

He did a walk through and explained all about it a while ago. You are right tho, boat looks perfect.

[@RichieKeane]

Great film, lovely job. Are you wet sanding for dust prevention? Dry on the anti foul would be faster?

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yep...wet no dust dude. Quicker on ablative antifoul, but very messy.

[@geoffcarr5357]

Mate The insurance companies are killing me lol I'm looking as l said ,at 2 boats and so far all calls to insurance state " What marina will the boat be in and at no time will it be on anchor" l mean WTF marinas now charging up to 14k a year and l want to buy a boat not a marina apartment.

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yep Geoff. Insurance has gone nuts lately. Try Elders. I'm insured with them and no restrictions...so far.

[@geoffcarr5357]

@@MotorSailingforOldDudes Thanks Norm yeah l was planning a trip to gold coast to look at a 50ft and the owner decided he wanted to keep it a bit longer lol on my way to tassie to look at a 47 Ranger

[@JackTaudi]

Is this video leading up to when u went to the hard stand to do all your below the waterline repainting and anti fouling, or is this another visit to the hard stand for something else 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@MotorSailingforOldDudes]

Yeah dude. Antifoul prep time and a fair bit of polishing.
