Great job Melissa. Is there anything you can’t do? It’s amazing to see how much you all have done since you began. I look forward to every episode you make knowing how much time it takes to produce. 👍

Melissa, you have earned my respect. 😊 You did an amazing job cutting out that corner piece which seals off the bulkhead. 👏Who said you'll never use geometry and angles?

[@andreabird8915]

Hope you folks get better! I truly enjoy seeing a wife/mother or simply a super awesome woman truly getting some boatwork done! Again, your awesome all the way from Corpus Christi Texas!!!

[@paulwalker9423]

What a super video thoroughly enjoyed watching Mellissa crack on with those jobs an looking so well even if she probably still was not on top form 😎

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you 🙏

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Nice job on knocking out more todos, Melissa! Keep the crew rolling! Hope all get to feeling better asap!

[@adventureswithgrandpa]

I love to see solder and shrink wrap. Good job.

[@saulzain1957]

I thoroughly enjoy y'all's videos! As a family sharing this dream of making it come true! Happy Sailing!

[@Sailingon]

I'd love to see your thinking on measuring. Those panels went in beautifully.

[@Chris97302]

Melissa, You are such an inspiration for me! Seeing you work helps me gain confidence to do projects here that make me uncomfortable. I have literally been contemplating how to complete a portion of a "dingy cover" sewing project for almost a week (No one would EVER confuse me with a seamstress), and I finally got the confidence to just make the cuts necessary to get the final piece in place, converting an old tent into the cover, which means lots engineering, of trimming and piecing to make it fit. Your video of all the projects you finished, quite literally played in my mind as I told myself, "quit looking and trust yourself to make the cut. Melissa is doing what needs done, and you can too!" Thank you for sharing!

[@SailingMelody]

Awwh will done on your dingy cover. This is so nice to read I'm glad I've helped 😁😁

[@SVBlownAway]

We hope Andy gets better soon so he can get back to the boat to help with the job list!!

[@brucemacleod5972]

Well done Mel great work 👍🇦🇺

[@gutsanglory1]

Very productive day !!! Hope the rest of the gang is feeling better soon. Cheerz!!

[@williamrandall1415]

I am impressed with your skills

[@marcandrews6726]

Impressive grit and determination. You have inspired me to get more done in a day.

[@SailingMelody]

Hahaha that’s cool 😎

[@sawboneiomc8809]

Just found y’alls channel ...keep the dream alive...you’ll get there and I for one will be jealous.
