Revisiting the Upper Helm -

[@gkkes]

As an Englishman of a certain age, and having lived in Toronto for 5 years, I take great comfort in your channel Peter. Your competence, skill and obvious experience, alongside your comfortable yet informative manner makes enjoyable viewing. Easily likened to an old English TV show hosted by a character, Jack Hargreaves, called Out of Town. He championed countryside skills, oft dwindling skills that were giving way to new-fangled approaches. His intent being awareness, so that these skills, and simpler independent lifestyle were not forgotten. Wishing you the very best in luck and life.

Boats, beer, and books. Much better than the cars, cake, cats channel, imo.

[@jamesbrooks9828]

You’re a top class mechanic, wood craftsman, and someone that can present their videos in a 1st class manner. Been following you for years, starting when pup was with you, and will continue to do so. Keep up your good work. 🍻Cheers 👍🏼

[@steveburke7675]

Here from Alfie's channel.....sub'ed.

[@jeffdunn890]

Always love it when Alfie shows up!👍

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thanks again for helping cut Northern Dancer V's table and so glad you enjoyed the beer and the book! :)

[@trenthensley6022]

Boats, bevels, books and beer. Very nice combination for an enjoyable video. Thanks

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

I am in the book as a former winner of a Travels With Jordie shirt. It IS true, there ARE winners... so what ever the word of the week is, DO write a comment with it... you might just end up a winner👍👍.

[@sailorbill664]

Nothing like a good book when the day is over and the anchor is down

[@darrylgardner2680]

Thanks Peter, your work ethic and commitment to task is most impressive and, as a fellow a few years older than yourself, am reminded of how much you can achieve in a day. Many of your methods are worth committing to a book. All best wishes as you move forward and continue to keep us vicariously involved in your life on the water

[@BlueyGilmore]

A book and a beer, with great company, is the best way to end a day of boat work. Another wonderful episode Peter, thanks so much.

[@RachaelSA]

Its confirmed now, the minute you started talking, my little kitten woke up, ran from the couch and jumped on my desk and stares at the screen.

[@Will-he-wont-he]

When Geordie is once again outside and can be viewed at a distance .. the canopies new lower profile might actually improve the overall appearance ... as always .. nice job Peter.

[@kevinfoth4081]

Still my favorite channel discovered during Covid, all the boats are looking great, Peter! You could write a book yourself!

[@kimcater3351]

I would love to book my seat on the upper helm, book in one hand beer in the other, admiring the view, inside and across the water

[@Myseadreams]

Your channel and work is a true dichotomy. You do some things so thoroughly and well thought out. Others like this glass project is like watching a train wreck. You should fully seal the glass mating area prior to the sealant application and then tape off the acrylic and wood surface. Also it would be 10 times easier to apply finish to the would before the glass installation. You will need to totally strip the wood when you put in the actual glass in the future. You are making wonderful content but it’s strange boat building.

[@jeffreylord8172]

The upper helm is looking fantastic, Peter, you make it look so easy but as any boat builder knows, it takes a lot of time,and no book learning can give you an insight into how Complex , some of these fit ups are Especially to make them look original

[@marcellucassen8033]

21:46 A little 'fake it until you make it' literately, loving it. 👍

[@simonwilson8911]

Most large / major place names come from the two expeditions that first charted the area. Vancouver named many things after his crew, people he knew, etc. As did Quadra, who named lots of islands after his crew: Galiano, Cortez, Gabriola... I am sure it’s all in your book!

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

I figured that, should be interesting.

[@larrynoe6162]

Love the gift of the book. I also love the Hans Christians, they are beautiful wooden boats.

[@richb313]

Peter your quick fixes are better than most peoples month long project.

[@stevenholton438]

Another weekly and prolific display of exotic hardwood carpentology!

[@vintagetinrandykehler4824]

If I had the time, I'd "book" it down to Victoria for a holiday

[@piergaay]

Peter could of course made it possible to make an installation for lowering that canopy temporerly and later lift it again, but I think Peter secretly had the thought Geordie would look smoother wit a lower canopy ;-)

[@billbales8491]

Great work has been done on Poem, but I, for one, am glad to see you return to work on MV Geordie. I cannot wait to see you navigate her from the upper helm to some distant cove and relax on your upper deck with a good book and a cold beer!

[@dustymiller7758]

Great work on the canopy and the windshield. Can't believe it's been so long since you remade the windshield and sides. Looking fantastic.

[@caprovan]

Oh man, without the canvas that would have just barely let Geordie inside the shed! I look forward every Sunday to the new episode and so enjoy the bonus episodes… Almost time for Geordie to book it out of the shed and make space for Zephyrus. Seems like that progress is well underway. Galley next???

[@patrickcwillis]

What a great book to have along your cruising adventures!! Learning the local history is all part of the joy.

[@morristhegreat1]

Just love love love the book.

[@maxiemills6982]

Great work this week. I'm looking forward to seeing some more cruising this summer.

[@waywardsailor3622]

How many cruising trips could a cruising skipper book, if a cruising skipper could book trips.

[@wadeshore]

I like the canopy

[@maximilianobesso7732]

Happy Father’s Day Peter!!

[@davidbaumer1724]

Great job with Captain Walburn's book! Beautiful Swimmers: Watermen, Crabs and Chesapeake Bay, by William W. Warner is both the book to have on board and to give as a gift here in Virginia.

[@thomasvelure6237]

Book is a word of the week I can get behind. Excellent looking windshield and canopy Peter.

[@markfisher8206]

I will book a ticket to the left coast when you start getting into macerator pump repairs!

[@muddyfeethiking]

Congratulations on making it over the pass. Awesome views.

[@russellmurphy8111]

Would love to book a beer of the week on Geordie!!!

[@lewispaine4589]

I've enjoyed many Salish Sea Pale Ales over the years, from Arrowsmith Brewing in my old town of Parksville, nice choice.

[@robertlewisvideo]

The wind shield looks Great. I hope one day you will write a "How To" Book.

[@dondonner1095]

You need to book some time to get to a Bookstore to buy that other Book.

[@rldukes5729]

Sounds like you've booked your cruising schedule with the illustrious Lady Zephyrs. Many memories to be made, many stories to be told, many books to written. We look forward to every single one. Happy cruzing!

[@milt7348]

Have fun and stay safe and we'll see you next week.

[@pepperjake44]

Like other comments, I agree you should consider writing a book some day. Very happy to see you back on MV Geordie. All the boats are looking pretty dang spiffy. Cheers!

[@richardsiddon610]

Guess a decent galley would be pretty fundamental..

[@jeffreysearle2996]

Some of us out here we’re hoping you wouldn’t lower the top and just back out at about ten knots. 😳😳

[@Dutch58]

I would love to book a flight from Munich/ Germany to visit the Victoria Classic Boat Festival. (and would bring some of my favorite beers to you, Peter)

[@rogerwileman9965]

You make such a good job of the Bimini it would a shame to lose it

[@fradoche]

Looks like an interesting BOOK !!

[@mvcharisma]

Stunning work as always Peter!

[@SimonElenor]

MARINE 31 a vinyl cleaner and protection will help that plexi last much longer and not turn yellow.

[@TravelsWithGeordie]

Must enquire.

[@SimonElenor]

@@TravelsWithGeordie You are going to have to just google it. It won't let me post a link. Marine 31 Clear vinyl cleaner and protector. I use it on all of my plexi and jeep windows.

[@normanroberts6680]

Enjoyed as usual. Thanks as always.

[@HenriWesdorp]

You can make book that Peter will finish Geordie-sometime.

[@pfalzgraf7527]

A book for a cruiser in a labyrinth of isles! How fitting - and I am wondering (or even looking forward) to Peter perhaps telling us about the curious origin of one place name or another on the cruising videos this summer. Cheers!

[@peterbrandt9725]

Thanks for yet another entertaining video. Just discovered Riverport Rovers channel so will spend time with you 14 years age.

[@davidkalaski7714]

Great book to have on Geordi. Enjoy!

[@darylg7484]

Love it love it love it. Great work once again Peter! Enjoy the summer cruisin!

[@patschultheis6413]

Enjoy your great book.

[@michaelcanto6175]

Had me worried, thought you'd given up!

[@stephenfreeman8617]

I’ll book next week’s episode Peter ..right now 🙌

[@TheJustonemore]

Love it

[@KarlLittle1975]

Great work as usual Peter! The book looks interesting

[@harveypost1841]

Booker T and the MGs

[@Vagabond1209]

I suggest Plexus or Mirror Glaze to clean the acrylic. Works great, won’t scratch or haze. Been using it for years for motorcycle windshields and polycarbonate boat windows

[@normanmerrill1241]

Nice work…well,done as usual…

[@skippyone3085]

Just about to book my next Sunday session with Travels with Geordie, there all done ! Great vlog and things are looking great.

[@Drtoetag01]

Another awesome episode...thank you Peter...cheers..

[@108hindu]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for you to work on the upper helm for a long time. You can be like Lloyd Bridges on Sea Hunt.

[@SailingWithVampires]

Watching you cut that glass gave me anxiety. Those sheets aren't cheap!

[@Alsintheshop]

Your canopy will be fine if the water level remains at or below What is is now.

[@Anne6621]

Peter for just a temporary solution why such an extreme sealing , seems like you just created a lot more work when the glass goes in

[@willywonka8730]

Peter - suggestion - modify the shed not the boat. I know its to late but you'll be bumping your head for the oversight.

[@mathyeti]

When MicBergsma was putting the old windows back into his VW van, he used buffing compound to remove scratches from the glass. Is that something that would work for you, or you need to do?

[@larrydwyer4168]

BZ young man.

[@mySeaPrince_]

🐾🐾🐾 🐈 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@djmini2numpty141]

quick question, 2:30 in, wouldn't an ebbing tide help so that you wouldn't have to cut down your canopy? Frank

[@kenshores9900]

Peter: Are you going to get tempered glass at a glass shop? I thought iso propanol is a good solvent for the sealant you are using? Been to long since I used it last.

[@peterfrymaster]

Could Mylar or some kind of coating prevent clouding in your plexiglas?

[@joejuska5390]

What’s with the cut out sound!

[@ivarmichelsons7413]

Hopefully Finnegan isn't a book lover (in the chewing sense)

[@charliemcgrain]

You are gong to lower your head room on the boat instead of opening the back of the shed? Hmm.

[@stephenfreeman8617]

Couldn’t you lower the water level Peter ?😭😭 just saying

[@dadejazzba402]

Increase the water level...in the boat

[@nelsonkirkland8155]

Book

[@rayboucher479]

If you are not sure if there is a right and left and you know there are variances why would yo not label your parts ?

[@ovej.a.holmqvist3422]

The word is - BOOK
