SAILBOAT defenestration and fenestration

[@medickaisu]

I was so pleased to see you as Mrs. Santa. It means people know you and love you. There is a community there for you. That makes me happy.

[@sailorama]

❤️ The community here is indeed very loving, interesting, and active. Thank you for seeing and thank you for the kind words. So glad that it brings a little joy to you all the way from over here!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Happy Holidays to a jolly boat family! As you wax poetic, I'm happy you come back to realize how fortunate you are for taking the plunge of freedom and home ownership in warm places of your choice... keep on sculpting, we love it! Did the deworm do the trick???

[@sailorama]

Thank you! Yes, he's feeling better - no more puking so far 👍🏼

[@daveamies5031]

I remember a time when $90/week was considered expensive for renting a room in a share house ..... there will be a time when $900/week will be considered cheap unless the currencies are revalued first..... the longer your out of the rental market the more shocking the rents will seem, the more happy you'll be you own your boat. I also remember when diesel was 20c/litre, cause I'm old 🤣 But you and Robbie are doing great 👍I love your videos and love what you're doing 👍

[@sailorama]

The peasants eventually revolt, in different ways. I think we've done it by living on our boat. Thanks for being here!

[@monocerosin]

Unconventionally housed! I Love it.

[@sailorama]

Glad you think the term fits!

[@edwardmacintosh9476]

You carry on with all the constant tasks,and you will. be well rewarded & a very grounded happy person. I wish you all success in your future plans and aspirations.

[@sailorama]

Thank you for all the optimistic words!

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Thanks. That was inspiring. I know what it's like to finally get momentum going on a project only to be stopped by the weather. Good old inertia. I'm looking forward to seeing your windows. Happy holidays!

[@sailorama]

Always good to know that I'm not the only one 😆 Thanks! Happy Holidays!

[@jamescarid3448]

Looking good Mrs. Claus, wishing you and Robi a merry Christmas. Cheers.

[@sailorama]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@lincolngrove2808]

Love the MiniMe paint job. Bravo!

[@sailorama]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kptbillburkett8735]

I would like to Thank You for all your videos 📹. And for taking us along on your journey. Maybe someday I will see your sails ⛵️ on the Horizon from our lanai. And I want to say Merry Christmas 🤶 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉! So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and Cheers 🍻

[@sailorama]

Cheers! Thank you for the kind words - Robi's currently on his way to one of the islands out there (not sure which one) - maybe he will say aloha as he sails through! Take care!

[@mngbennett]

I learned something new. I always thought you were a west coast girl.

[@sailorama]

Canada's capital, representing 😂

[@mngbennett]

@@sailorama I would like to hear an origin story of you and Robi and how you met. Choco is a good dog. My dog chews through leases if I try to tie her to anything.

[@sailingmare6563]

Love your videos; excellent editing and storytelliing. Hopefully the projects on the eternal list will soon allow you to do some sailing soon.

[@sailorama]

Ha - yes, there is always an eternal project list - just a matter of when we feel comfortable to jump out onto the open ocean despite them.

[@devinharp636]

Merry Christmas from Oklahoma USA 🇺🇸

[@sailorama]

Merry Christmas from us too!

[@maryjnorwood3962]

You are the best! ❤️😎🤗🥰⚓️

[@sailorama]

Thank you - you're the best, and we appreciate all the support you've given!

[@McTickles777]

Love the tunes!!!!!

[@sailorama]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy!

[@phillipobrien7365]

Some (most) of those rentals were fair shitholes. You are way better off with what you have. Keep up the good work !

[@sailorama]

Yes, it’s true. We are feeling very lucky right now.

[@AM-ni3sz]

Don’t forget, you are living the dream.

[@sailorama]

I think about it everyday 👍🏼

[@murrat]

Hope you get some drier weather soon.

[@sailorama]

Thanks! No real signs yet 😂

[@jmgrif]

It doesn't rain in Zeballos? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@sailorama]

Oh it rains there plenty! Almost as much as here in the jungle 😆 Merry Christmas and New Years!

[@davidbridges7263]

hope

[@sailorama]

I hope so!

[@Stuwy2]

wouldn't be a boat job like just screwing in a screw if it didn't involve a snapped bit and a trip to the hardware shop. 5 min into 2 hours... know the feeling all too well

[@sailorama]

That's how it always goes 😂

[@njbaskipper]

Hi Guys...🇨🇦 Well, can I make myself understood? Defenestration would not be the correct title, the correct thing would be: Ideas, changes and successes, which adds and causes well-being and blessing in the future. You have to put an AMERICAN (continental) mentality and Canadian flavor to the strategies. P.S. Well done.

[@sailorama]

The title is something like - I feel like throwing everything out the window, but then I continue on making windows, which is changes/hopefulness/possible good things in the future 🙂 Thank you! Cheers!

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

Been there, done that...​@sailorama

[@njbaskipper]

@sailorama very good, I'm sorry I didn't know how to express myself or make myself understood. The blessing is the same for you 👌

[@Michael-u1t8k]

Dear God, please wear eye protection. Fiberglass shards and dust in your eyes will not be good. Please be safe and great video.

[@sailorama]

You're right! My safety glasses are toast, and need a new pair.

[@h.rutten2187]

I always knew sailors made a wise choice by living the sailboat life, especially with the coming economic downturn. As someone who loves to follow politics and economics I would really advise you guys to buy as much storable foods as you can afford to buy now. Just store up on all the basics, as much as your budget allows the next few weeks and months. Just basic stuff like rice, beans, lentils, pasta, nuts, seeds (for sprouting/ fresh salads) sugar, chocolate/ cacao, spices, flours, milk powder, egg powder etc.. Milk powder is for instance great to make milk and then turn it into rice pudding or plain yogurt with some existing yogurt culture/ a spoon full of old yogurt . They even have a special yogurt making container to make it from warm milk in the evening for fresh yogurt in the morning. And yogurt could be a great daily breakfast with fruit, muesli etc. But also maybe some extra canned meats, vegetables and animal fats like lard, ghee and butter combined with coconut and olive oils etc. Just so you can buy some cheap locally grown fruits or vegetables and maybe catch some fish but still have enough basic ingredients to make a full and satisfying meal whilst getting in enough calories. But maybe with excess fish it’s nice to also be able to put it into cans or jars. Don’t know how busy you guys are, what the plans are and like I said what your financial situation allow you to spend/ do. But believe me if I say that you won’t regret having bought a year and preferably two years of basic food supplies if that’s in the budget and if it’s even possible to store on your boot? But simply counted, two years, 730 days times 5000 calories, an average intake a day for two people/ male plus female, a total of 3.650.000 calories and a bit much maybe to store on a boat this size? So maybe aim for a year of/ 1.825.000 calories, or as much as possible? I just highly recommend to look into stocking up on food supplies and simply because it’s highly recommended by the most accurate and most independent and internationally renowned forecasting agency “Princeton Economics”. They have a terrific forecasting track record, a history you can check yourself, and they are forecasting continuously growing inflation especially food prices. This is due to severe cyclically accruing droughts in 2025 & 2026 in the U.S. and Canada combined with supply chain shortages. www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/inflation/food-inflation-on-the-rise/

[@sailorama]

I agree that the economic forecast is generally grim. I would love to have more food stocked up. However, we're behind in that step - we're still trying to secure drinking water. Our main goal is to get a desalinator onboard 👍🏼
