Brilliant, as always. The Restoring Josefine series has been epic. Fair winds!

[@davidabaxter4424]

Absolutely amazing work! I have truly enjoy watching and listening to your wonderful videos. Fair winds and following seas to you and Randi.

[@waynes.3380]

You two are outstanding people, I wish you both and Josephine the best of luck. Thanks for letting me see your story.

[@matthewphillips6614]

Just blown away by this episode. So much has been achieved and the videography is fantastic. I hope you have a wonderful time sailing at last!

[@paraweir]

The execution of the jobs you both do is beyond good. Well done to the both of you.

[@paulbrown2971]

Full-on episode that gave a real feel to the amount of work you got done! Complimenti! Your home on the water looks fantastic! Enjoy the sailing and i look forward to episodes on your travels.

[@peterclift2952]

bitter sweet viewing Reg , every job done well including including the filming & editing Randi. ? The best restoration tale I've seen & now sadly over for us arm chair sailors. THANK YOU ! both , I do hope you are rewarded with great voyages & are able to share some of them with us . BonVoyages . Pete .

[@newtonmiller8810]

Reg, I started watching when you were building the shower area, since then, I’ve been continually gobsmacked at both your and Randy’s patience, skill set and determination to correct so many defects. She’s now a beautiful lady ready for the next adventure in your lives, and I like every other subscriber is looking forward to the adventures you want to share. I’d love to see her one day, though being in Australia, it might be difficult, but you never know what can happen. Thank you once again to both of you.

[@SailingAway-OceanLady]

Really nice to meet you both & see Josephine & Lily up close. this week. Fantastic skills & craftsmanship as ever, in this episode. Fair winds & hope to see you both again. Hope to see your adventures on KZbin too🔔

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi, thank you for letting us follow your very interesting and informative channel it has been great to watch.I hope that in the future there will be some updates as to your sailing progress.A tip for storing part used tins of paint is to make sure the lid is sealed and store them upside down…no skin when you open the tin again.Cheers and best wishes for the future,Roly🇬🇧.

[@jonathanevans9257]

Better information and entertainment than anything on BBC, Sky or ITV made at a fraction of the cost. Presenting skills, editing and filming second to none! What an epic journey, I get tired just watching your work schedule!

[@Zardwark]

You did it! Time to celebrate with a hair cut 🙂 Seriously, think back. You did it!

[@peckbrian2546]

Well done! I hope we can see some scenes of your subsequent sailing life - and maybe a walk through of Josephine now that she is fine and fit.

[@Vendelcrow1948]

Hey and ho, Josephine gang !! Glad to know ye are now sailing, and hope that your life runs a wee bit slower, sleep in mornings, etc ad infinitum....Amazing job, and now you can enjoy the fruit of yer labour. Looking forward for your future sailing episodes.... Allda bestest from mikke in sweden, who presently are making my wooden 7m double ender wiv a Albin engine from 1948, same year as me.....;.D

[@loloaqici82qb4ipp]

There's getting the boat to reliably float.... and then there's the rest. What's impressive is you still keep up the quality of the stuff needing to be done. I'm really looking forward to the sailing videos to come. How about we sponsor a drone? You are already a pilot.

[@oneandonlymikey]

Well done Reg and Randi ,you saw it through .Now Josephine can come alive❤

[@waynethiele2065]

An amazing episode, well done. Time to go sailing you guys. The boat looks brilliant.

[@jamesmutter2989]

Fantastic progress. Looking forward to Finale Part 2!! If not I'll follow wherrever you go. James

[@davidbamford4721]

You are commendably thorough Reg, which will have its benefits when you are at sea. Crossing oceans is not for idiots!

[@fransdriesen1311]

I always enjoy your updates..So professional and educational..Keep up the good work.. Let the new phase begin.. The reborn Josefine in her elements..

[@joesprague1464]

Let us know when the list of jobs is done on a wooden boat of any vintage… love the superb videos born of those jobs.The quality of the work done,excellent narration and cinematography are unparalleled.Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewporter6890]

Thanks for the post Reg - Really appreciate the detailed advice on checking/maintaining your lifejacket - have saved the link for future reference

[@TR4zest]

I am looking forward to Sailing Josephine. I have followed your trials and successes since that first disastrous video. I will never forget the mast snapping on the dockside. Well done both of you: grit, resilience, self-reliance, deep resourcefulness, a great boatyard team and now, rich reward. You now have a much better, safer boat than would have been true had Josephine been 'OK'. I still hope some ruinous financial disaster has beset your surveyor for Josephine. Fascinating about the tablet GPS on cellular vs non-cellular! Safe sailing ..

[@m2rsvp]

6:21 "...the lounger, no good for man nor beast..." Appropriately cheeky appraisal, having marveled at the stern deck refresh recounted at 4:46 Cheers!

[@mikecurrie1795]

Thanks for all the walking! I was not aware for the iPad issue.

[@Jhbrenner1]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos, thx. One comment/cautionary note. When re-arming the hydro switch, take note of the spring tension. I had a spring break and only found it because there was very little resistance when screwing the cap back on. It wouldn’t have activated in a dunking.

[@Coolhand99au]

Wow!! Great informative video Reg End of an era , Josefine oozes character and quality, you've both done an amazing job she looks fantastic Nice at the end to see you winding fishing line onto the reel Good luck and safe sailing

[@michaelmorrow2900]

You always remind us life's challenges are all about personal education... exceedingly empowering...oh yes..with a cool head... entertaining as well... very well lived....much mahalo and aloha..sail on friends...

[@PoweredEvents]

Looking forward to following Josefine on her new sailing journey's!

[@marcdebow4055]

Excellent workm sir. I have enjoyed the journey with you and look forward to further videos.

[@erlixerlix7573]

There is no need to replace the canister on the life jacket. It does not get old. You just weigh it to make sure it has the correct weight so it is still filled.

[@user-iu7ji8ik1s]

Clever 👍

[@svhulda6157]

Impressive high quality job you have done!

[@patrickjoneill5836]

Absolutely fascinating.

[@rhavrane]

Bonjour Randy and Reg, I have not understood everything, is this actually your last video ? It is impossible, we have seen nothig about the engine starting, the sails, the navigation rules... How will we know if you are fine or not, problems encountered and solved and so on ? I know that you are not a movie maker but this amazing story can't stop like such ! Amicalement, Raphaël

[@budsvjourney2919]

Beautiful work.......much respect. Happy sailing!!

[@rayrobinson7504]

I have used the garmin device on an old iPad, when I bought a new ipad from John Lewis I found that the sales assistant didn’t know about cellular iPads having GPS chip fitted, this is excellent info you have put out and hopefully will save anyone buying the wrong device. Lesson is know what you want and don’t rely on the shop 👍

[@erlixerlix7573]

The usual mode of failiure for those hydroswiches when they are too old is that they go off when they should not have. Very surprising for the person wearing the life jacket! They always go off when submerged no matter how old they are.

[@undersail262]

Well done thanks for sharing! Fair winds …..cheers mate

[@harrymerritt7745]

Now that y'all have boat restoration. Which was foreign too your former life. I would like too hear . Reflection what u think... When u can think. Watching

[@raymondburrows5227]

Brilliant video thank you

[@vancguy9204]

Brilliant!

[@eppot1]

many points on the list... but you get there !!

[@TheSalMaris]

Fabulous as always and so much work. Can't wait to see your new adventures sailing. Smooth sailing to you two.

[@brucerazor5202]

Your living the life, I’m jealous

[@ursuswurstus6515]

Congrats on yout entire refit-journey, really incredible!

[@markweiss6222]

Thanks so much for all your input there really insightful. Very exciting moments on the way

[@bertieb9510]

Interesting to see a few of the many little last minute jobs being ticked off. I could feel your stress levels in the way you were presenting them 😊. I hope you are now sitting, swinging at anchor in some scenic spot , with a glass in your hand.

[@gailhunt4153]

Great video thank you

[@dirkjan7351]

thanks for walking up and douwn the 18 miles, it made mij day 😂always be sure a gps is a gps! didnt know that

[@Thebarco]

What a great film

[@stephenlaw1202]

well done and good luck

[@annebarr9314]

So well done.

[@MikeHarbourne]

great stuff guys, looking forward to you casting off the lines.

[@Seafariireland]

Great instruction and good quality work all around. I imagine you could be both feeling a bit apprehensive about taking your life’s work out on the open sea despite the high quality of craftsmanship that ye have invested in Josephfine. I sincerely hope and pray that you can finally enjoy some worry free enjoyment at sea at last wherever you voyage! Fair sailing, SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.

[@garymalm]

Now, that didn't take so long, did it. Did it what?😵‍💫 Gary in japan

[@fergusmccormack6876]

Great advice thank you

[@markjenney8808]

Oh my God Monty Pithon at 0;46

[@drmikejoy]

brilliant thanks

[@daviddeloera711]

Good job

[@phillipgreene2564]

Well... its quite a list cast off the devil's details and then hoist the sails. Helm looks great like how the compass rides high and a high step off the sprits net but it looks right tight...

[@terrorzacktyl]

Thank you

[@guydepoorter]

Well done Skipper, and now… Bon vent.

[@emiliekaroline]

Nice made it again :) Thanks you for many inspirations.... :)

[@Antipodean33]

When it comes to boats and restoring a self imposed deadline is a bad idea. A strict deadline is too much stress

[@jamieminton172]

Boat owners and bridge painters have a lot in common. She is looking quite healthy. Survey and tribulations aside. ;) I am curious about Josefine's compass. R U planning on having it professionally swung (Calibrated to location) or do U feel comfortable swinging it yourself. With all of the contemporary Do Dads and upgrades that poor needle might not know which way is up. 🙃

[@amilton2128]

Any thoughts about chartering in the future?

[@propulsar]

Looking a bit frazzled there Red.

[@peterhirt991]

Excellent job! But why have you chosen this yellow colur for the hull, looks terrible

[@jossmit56]

You do realize you've done the nearly impossible, don't you? You should be very proud of yourselves. Stuff the videos. The longer the wait, the better they taste..

[@MrMoto63]

I would'd depend to much on those compass readings.

[@johnryan2193]

Have you not considered having volunteers to help . ..?
