THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN

[@Bolldere]

As someone who is really interested in sailing ( hello midlife crisis ?) these types of videos are actually invaluable, the raw reality of repair and refit, getting it right, doing repairs, watching the margins due to cost. Most channels just show the good times, i’m sure it’s hard for you now and you’re both putting on brave faces, but thank you for not sugar coating.

[@yonn]

Yes!

[@charlesharper2357]

When it comes to boats KISS. The trouble that these two are having is due to manufacturers trying to make their boats stylish and sexy...with compound curves. Old fashioned metal framed windows might look boring, but they hold up and they're simple to change out. Don't be put off...just ask questions on how to minimize maintenance before you buy your boat.

A year ago I was thinking "these guys are in a really hard situation and working it one day at a time" and I was suitably impressed. Now I'm in awe. Your daily grind to get your essentially derelict boat (and home!) seaworthy/safe/secure again is nothing short of inspiring. Hang in there - one day you'll tell this story to someone stuck in a boatyard far from their homeland and family that needs to know they really can dig deeper and push longer than they thought they could. People don't become an inspiration to others by living an easy life. You two are truly inspiring.

[@murrayashworth78]

Hey guy’s, don’t get down things happen for a reason. I’ve done lots of replacement side windows on pleasure boats, during my career in the Marine business up in Vancouver BC. Personally I didn’t like seeing you install the new windows without blackening out the frames, this process is well worth the effort, trust me. Sand the area’s clean and prime the surface’s with Awl Grip 545 Grey epoxy primer. It’s already quite dark but you can add a black pigment. I quite often brush or spray applied AwlGrip black polyurethane over the top of the primer, doing this you don’t need to add black pigment to the grey 545 epoxy primer. The boat yard May no this method also, now why. By making the surface black there is less chance to see any air bubbles in the bonding process, this can happen for sure. This will really make you cry if they’re there, trust me, you only have one shot. Who am I you ask? I’m from Christchurch NZ, left home at 23 in 78 for Nth America and landed in Vancouver early 79. I started my own Yacht repair business and ran it for nearly 40 years, I’m retired up in kelowna BC. I’m sure you passed that way with your motor home, actually I meet you both at a RV show in Abbotsford BC, in the TradeX building. Anyway you won’t be disappointed if you go this route. Cheers, Murray Ashworth

Good point Murray, I had wondered about that, watching them do it i was thinking, "Are they really going to get enough black caulk in there to prevent the white mess showing through?" Please paint the area first Wynns! it will look ghastly otherwise!

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

The Wynns: The weather is nice, we're joking about caulk, we're drinking beer, it's the perfect day Murphy's Law: *Yeah, uh, about that....* (windows don't fit) *Oh and by the way, you're getting a crazy storm soon. You're welcome* "It's not supposed to rain but you know, famous last words around here" love how self-aware of your bad luck you are at this point. I keep joking about Murphy's Law but you really can't seem to catch a break. I feel really bad for y'all! But like the famous saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. A little progress each day adds up to results. The great thing about guava is all its uses from beer to pastries (or as us Cubanos call them, pastelitos con queso), agua fresca, and even baby back ribs (my personal favorite)! Guava baby back ribs is the result of a Chinese-Cuban fusion (a dying fusion unfortunately). Chinese laborers originally immigrated to Cuba to work in the sugar fields in the 1830s, and the mixing of the culture they brought with what's available locally resulted in a new fusion to form. At one point in time, Havana was home to the largest Chinatown in Latin America.

Seconding this! My team uses bike-rack suction cups for attaching instrumentation to test vehicles; they're fantastic. I have the most experience with the single-cup style with the 1/4-20 thread (we screw 3 or 4 of these to a custom mount), but the dual-cup style with a handle in the middle might be better for boat work.

The two of you have done an amazing job of keeping your spirits up over the last two years in the face of one large challenge after the other, frequently with no clear light at the end of the tunnel. The frustrations from the current challenges must be understood in the context of all you have been through. I think there is not a construction or manufacturing project in the world that is not now delayed, sometimes indefinitely. Yesterday, I saw that one of the Class B RV upfitters is no longer accepting customer ordered models and will build only for dealer stock. Why? With manifold parts shortages, it's all but impossible to guarantee the exact final content of a new build. We are paying the price for squeezing every last penny out of the global supply chain over the last 30 years: everything running tight as can be when things are going well. Throw a wrench or two into the works and you get the never ending delays we are seeing today. I do believe that New Zealand is the very friendliest English speaking country in the world. I hope that you will be able to do more touring (a la your anniversary trip) and see the many natural beauties of NZ and enjoy its warm, friendly people while supply delays iron themselves out. Sooner or later, the world will get back to a new steady state and we can all then get back on our then new plans.

Time to step back and go do anything that doesn't involve money, trucks, RV's or Covid delays. Hang in there Wynns. Tomorrow is a new day. ::🎶 The sun will come out, tomorrow, bet your now broke butt that tomorrow, there will be sun.. 🎶

Hang in there, guys. You control what you can control. The rest will work itself out one way or another. You're safe (albeit a bit wet) and things could always be worse. Keep perspective.

[@marshaburden145]

I think you are handling this so well. 2 years of isolation from friends and family. Give yourselves a hug and have a couple of sundowners ,take a deep breath and continue on things will turn around .Dale and Marsha

Why don't you have the starter rebuilt? You could cannibalize parts from something similar if all else fails. I am sure there is an electrical supply store or a mechanical shop that deals with farm equipment, generators, trash pumps, etc that could rebuild it or supply parts.

That which does not kill you will make you stronger ! Others wouldve been dead already, I admire your strength ! This WILL pass and you'll look back on this and laugh, ok maybe not. But least twill be in the past, the windows and the entire boat will be done ! Dont give up, just take breaks. I so appreciate you showing us the reality !!!!

[@Mr.Stacey-L-SCC]

I think we need to send the two of to drought stricken regions around the world and have you a work on windows. It's bound to rain if you do 😁

[@walterthorne4819]

Having renovated and preserve several old houses I feel your pain regarding delays, extra costs, and dissatisfaction with suppliers. Enjoy your channel very much as I’ve contemplate the purchase of a sailboat in New England. Keep the faith!

[@CameronOgilvie1]

The reality and frustrations of boatwork is an essential part of cruising. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimleininger8963]

Plan Z.2 is where you figure out a new numbering system for cataloging your plans... I am all to familiar with the feeling of being near completion and discovering you are not even close. By the end of the video I was imagining Paul Newman - All is Lost... expecting a shipping container full of shoes to blow across the parking and knock a hole in the boat. I think I would have fired a signal flare and abandoned ship. Good for you guys for not giving up

[@JF_Hudson]

Love the normal speed sounds of work over the hyper lapse sanding segment! Nice technique!! Good stuff!!! 👋 😎 🦶

[@LovingAtlanta]

😞😖Sooo sorry. 😭 You guys are troopers….you keep rolling with the punches. Everything will be okay. Thank goodness for the multipurpose tool. 🙏💝

[@markh2005]

Youre gonna have amassive sense of achievment once your done!!

[@markh2005]

@Bobb Grimley yes I know, thats why I typed it!

[@christip20]

Oh No! I saw the windows at the beginning and thought they were already in! Not another window covering up! You can always sit on the stern and watch the cattle go to dinner! I LOVED the view myself! After the windows, I think I would take the whole bottle and sit there until it was gone....I’m so sorry for you guy’s---🍀🍀

[@elizabethjocollins4313]

Greetings to Jason and Nikki. Did you get your watermaker repaired? WOW! Seems like two steps forward and one back. I'm sending both of you hugs and, above all else, praying for you. You both are fantastic and Blessed with tenacity, perseverance, and great patience.

[@eviljohn]

I know the delays are hard and frustrating but you got it done, in bad weather. That's something to be proud of. Celebrate your accomplishments!

[@zachfiremanemt]

I love the fact that even though you guys are going through some stuff , you’re still maintaining your smiles, The good lord only gives us what we can handle :-)

[@rm5632]

I applaude you guys for not only showing the „sunny side“ of boating, but also the reality of maintenance and repair work that we all face, including the frustration related to dependency on suppliers, despite your efforts to informed them correctly in advance. Don‘t give up and make sure that there‘s some chocolate around…

[@RobertFullStop]

I like it when people let some steam off by cursing...not healthy to keep it in. If it's a fucked up situation, then it's appropriate to use foul language. In any case, I think you're keeping it together very well. Best of luck. Each passing day you're a day closer to succeed 💪🏼

[@jamesmarinelli2177]

Fuckin Ayy!

[@dictator9849]

Guy’s you’re living a lot of people’s dreams including and most importantly, your own. Don’t forget that. As frustrating as it is, you will overcome (maybe you already have with the natural delay in video’s). Chins up, and control what you can, let the rest go once you’ve taken action. Things will get better, they ALWAYS do.

[@Themarriedbachelor]

Remember, it’s the journey not the destination that makes life amazing. If that’s not inspiring enough. Just remember what Joe Dirt said, Life’s a garden, dig it !! Lol. See ye next week. 👍

[@marksilvestro450]

In my 60 years of life I have learned it always works out! It may not work out the way you want it to, but it will always work out!
