S2E54 A Boat Shed Destroyed and Wave Rover gets a new Home.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

What a bummer about Bill's boat shed, ouch. Good to see that Wave Rover was successfully moved to the completion shed.

[@RoversAdventure]

It was a great relief to move her safely home.

[@mack8488]

Bill is a toughie i think indeed the right mindset to sail oceans

[@roncanizares9966]

You reading of the the poem is yet another reason why I am a patron.

[@junk_rig_sailor1698]

Friday night your time please. That means I get to watch them Saturday morning with my coffee down here in NZ 😀

[@RoversAdventure]

Great to have viewers in NZ

[@ObsessiveScientist]

any day, any time. I will be watching.

[@frankandtanyastegne3452]

You've established a great helping community. I'm loving these 580 class and 650s. My husband is worried..... I'm really liking the idea of building these little boats. Cheers :)

[@RoversAdventure]

Great to hear. Clear a little space in your garage and "crack on". There are few thing more rewarding in life than building and sailing your own boat. BTW, I almost went with the 580 but ultimately decided that I needed a little more space to do the long distance ocean sailing that I wanted.

[@frankandtanyastegne3452]

@@RoversAdventure lol. I know a little something about that. My father built a Corbin 39 in our backyard in Toronto. I grew-up thinking that was the "norm"... It is for a Dutch Immigrant family lol. Currently I'm sailing a little Canadian 7.4 sailboat that my husband was kind enough to re-wire and help me refit. My kids and I are live-aboards all summer. I've been contemplating the 580 for the racing lol. Truth, they are tiny. We will see 😉. All the Best.

[@jepomer]

Any day and time is fine for me. Glad to see Wave Rover return after you took care of Mrs Wave Rover's needs.

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks for the input John

[@johnbolongo9978]

I don't think Allen has a shortage of friends....he makes everyone feel welcome. Great stuff.

[@daveamies5031]

My life philosophy is "If it's not worth waiting for it's not worth having", this applies as much to brewing coffee as waiting for your videos, so I prefer you release the videos when you're happy with them rather than meeting a schedule 👍🏼

[@umbTraining]

Release videos whenever. We'll watch it.

[@tomwaite4594]

Fantastic update Alan on so many fronts: Bill's wonderful spirit in the face of adversity calls back memories of "The Island Spirit" captured in Stan Roger's song about the Mary Ellen Carter....Bill you will rise again with that health attitude.. The team work provided by your friend proves that while the Island has seen many changes of the years, what makes it one of the special places on this globe still remai The footage of the trip to the Homestead was like a homecoming for us to our adopted home as we took every turn with you to the shop. Last but not least....Leonardo Da Vinci once said that great sculptures must have a pleasing and different look every 2-3 degrees as you circle the artwork.....now that we has seen WR650 out in the open she fits that requirement perfectly....Congratulations ....this little boat is one for the ages... Thanks for taking us along on this big move.

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks Tom for making the time to write a great comment. We are truly blessed to live here.

[@curtishill6490]

👏👏👏👍👍 Withdrawal was tough Alan😁 THANK YOU 🙏🙏 So sorry about the boatshed and so glad to hear you'll continue👍

[@RoversAdventure]

I'm solidly back to weekly now. Thanks for your patience Curtis

[@curtishill6490]

@@RoversAdventure thanks for all the work you share with us! I was joking around and definitely have the patience for Wave Rover 👍 my way of saying I missed your videos 😁

[@paulcarlsen4088]

Congratulations on the move. Wow Bill’s shed! At least the laminations weren’t destroyed as you said. Mrs. Rover, the chickens and you have a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.

[@RoversAdventure]

We really feel lucky to live where we do and have such marvelous neighbors and friends. The commute to Wave Rover now takes mere seconds instead of 30 minutes each way.

[@robinhodgkinson]

The new digs look good. Pass on our best wishes to Bill. That’s a real kick in the guts! But I’m hoping not as bad as it first looks. Cheers

[@RoversAdventure]

I will indeed pass on your good wishes Robin.

[@russelldold4827]

Never ceases to amaze me what can be achieved by the intelligent cooperation of multiple willing Mk1 backs!

[@RoversAdventure]

And these are MK1 Islander backs! lol

[@fenriswolf039]

I don't much care what day the videos release, but more OFTEN and as SOON as possible! Thanks again!

[@RoversAdventure]

I'm back to weekly content now.

[@AdrianKerr]

Just regular videos is all we need )))

[@RoversAdventure]

I'm back to a weekly schedule now. A lot to do and time to crack on.

[@AdrianKerr]

@@RoversAdventure haha just teasing you mate! Glad yo see you back

[@schwabrichard9829]

Glad to see Wave Rover home Allen. You cannot but admire Bill`s determination to rebuild and carry on with his project!

[@RoversAdventure]

I truly admire Bill's attitude. I am very happy to count him among my good friends

[@daleskidmore1685]

Good to see you back. Good team helping you move. It was quite sad to see the destruction at Bill's place, but once he said about not losing heart, it was inspiring. I really hope he gets back on track soon.

[@RoversAdventure]

Bill will be back for sure!

[@hrmacdonald4471]

I am amazed & humbled by the amount of work you have achieved...you are a machine! I feel bad for the loss of Bill's boat shed, but it will take more than hurricane Fiona to founder his mindset. Loved your rendition of Sea Fever.

[@RoversAdventure]

Thank you very much!

[@billmeadslessons1547]

Bill, nice dude, such a great positive perspective, you da man!

[@RoversAdventure]

He is rock solid.

[@eagerv]

Thank you for your video, a sad one but also a positive one. The date and time of your releases is not of importance to me, I will watch them whenever..The great advantage of being subscribed..Keep them coming at your convenience, we will keep watching them!

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks for that!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Enjoyed the "Sea Fever" voice over Alan. Thank you for sharing Bill' story on his boat shed. Reminded me to get over to his channel and buy him a few cups of coffee. He is going to need a couple to help with the cleanup and rework. Best wishes to you, Mrs. Wave Rover and Mr. Speckles.

[@stephencifka4629]

What a sweet hull shape!

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks

"I must go do to the sea again, the lonely seas and sky, and all I ask is a small ship and a GPS to steer her by." 😁

[@RoversAdventure]

lol. I will be taking my sextant just for the fun of it, but will be mostly using the gps

[@gunnarfernqvist4896]

Thursday evening is a good time for a video, that means that I can watch it with my morning coffee at work friday mornings here in Europe. Along with a video from Ross at Life on the hulls that releases friday morning in Australia (thursday evening/night here).

[@RoversAdventure]

That's very helpful. Thanks

[@SootHead]

I vote for Friday mornings but it's a selfish reason. Some of my other favorite YTs drop Friday morning and I give myself that time to immerse in boatbuilding.

[@RoversAdventure]

Good to know, thanks

[@R.E.HILL_]

Thursday and Friday.. just like money and friends.. both, always both... 😉 Anyways.. looking forward to your next video. 👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Yes! Thank you!

[@charleskirby482]

Thanks for the build videos, as well as the sailings ones. I love your instructional style of presentation. Thank goodness for friends when help is needed, and yes, Bill really shows a very positive attitude heading into his repairs. I have no preference as to your release date. I am retired, and have become a true arm chair adventurer and follow several DIY sailors, and love their adventures too.

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks for watching! And of course the positive comments.

[@KurreB]

Friday evening would be perfekt. 👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Sounds good!

[@DrSurf-fx4gf]

Thursday morning videos would be great, your videos are one of the highlights of my week. Just Saying.

[@RoversAdventure]

Wow, thanks!

[@martinrobinson9852]

Friday morning is marginally preferred cos its a great way to go into the weekend. Either stealing 15 mins on Friday afternoon or a lazy Saturday morning pajamas and coffee viewing:-)

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks Martin

[@nickgoodall578]

No preference for KZbin release time. Just keep building!

[@RoversAdventure]

Absolutely!

[@sailoutofagarage6212]

Great with all the helpers! How much does the hull weigh now?

[@RoversAdventure]

We estimated about 700 lbs

[@fonhollohan2908]

Bill your thoughts are what they should be life is full of adversities that what makes us hearty stout men, you just move on. Which means he holdfast as the old sailors would say, and stay your course. It's just that simple. You'll get there, you'll get back to where you know you need to be. Wont take long your determined and that what it takes.

[@RoversAdventure]

Very well said Fon!

[@willyum1208]

Is there a video that talks about Bills boat and plans?

[@RoversAdventure]

There's a link to his channel in the video discription

[@captnemo8069]

I'd like to build a shed for my boat the same as Bill's. he said it was the wood itself that failed. My question, would he rebuild with a different kind of wood? My guess ordinary pine was used, and spruce stronger, less likely to break? Anything else he'd do different? Thanks

[@RoversAdventure]

We discussed doing a few changes to how he could rebuild. Best thing to do is check out his channel. I left a link in the video description above.

[@tomhaney5186]

Alan, what happened to the glass on the starboard bow at deck level?

[@RoversAdventure]

It's nothing really, just a pc of fiberglassing that I wasn't happy with

[@frankdillon6127]

Allen have you or can you elaborate on the bennifits of the rover 360 1200 lb fin type keels over the full keel contessa? and will this type reduce the possibility of a knockdown.

[@et5222]

Did Wave Rover 650 make it pretty unscathed throughout the move ? SHe looks so sturdy !

[@RoversAdventure]

A lot of behind the scenes planning went into the move, but it all came off without a hitch.

[@racpa5]

What’s going on with the upper part of the Starboard bow? Looks like a chunk is missing.

[@RoversAdventure]

It's nothing really, just a pc of fiberglassing that I wasn't happy with

[@Garryck-1]

I have no preference on the release schedule. Between the time/date difference in Australia, and working night shift, I just watch when I can.

[@RoversAdventure]

And I always appreciate your comments Mr JAFO, thanks!

Very chuckle worthy!

Boom!

[@davidsachs4883]

Honestly the day of release isn’t important to me. If you release on day that is inconvenient to me I simply watch it a day or two later. I might feel differently if the content were time sensitive like previews of an upcoming sporting event. But your content can be watched the day of release or a week later without affecting my enjoyment of the video.

[@rogerrr1012]

why you dont build with concrete ? here, concrete is cheaper than wood, no point in building a shed like that in wood... specialy in hurrican area...

[@RoversAdventure]

Concrete is expensive here and a foundation of concrete requires permitting. Bill just wanted something temporary.

[@rogerrr1012]

@@RoversAdventure hummm ... now I get it... here europe, is far cheaper concrete than wood... but both require permit

[@Anne6621]

OMG i was wondering what happened to Bill , my heart hurts because of this , to bad all the good skilled youtube people couldn't do an old fashioned shed raising for Bill and get it back in operation in a day , if i was able i sure would volunteer in a heart beat

[@RoversAdventure]

That's a great idea.
