We bought a derelict boat and sailed 1000 miles : Timelapse

[@SailingMelody]

🚢 From Abandoned to Adventure-Ready! 🌊 In this episode, we take you on a journey from the day we first set eyes on Ocean Melody-abandoned and forgotten-through all the highs, lows, and hard work that brought her to life again. From £17,000 on eBay to sailing over 1,000 miles, we couldn’t be prouder of how far she’s come! 🛠⛵ Whether you’re here for the timelapse transformations, the sailing adventures, or just love a good restoration story, we hope you enjoy the episode.

[@pfalzgraf7527]

yeah, I'm definitely going to segment-watch this. But yeah, good reminder! And oh my how Jack has grown up in these two years!

[@SailingMelody]

I know it's crazy!

[@johnbrightman282]

thanks for taking me down memory lane ,retired in Australia, from POOLE, DORSET ,UK .sailed many boats, fished many seas and shores .GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE.

[@redshifttrucking4537]

Just watching the beginning, I had forgotten what a state she was in at first. You have certainly come a very long way...

[@theunbeardedbrother]

Came here to say the same! The haters on here blow my mind, this old lady was ROUGH when you guys got your hands on her. Keep moving my friends!

[@heatherrawls6015]

Wow! I have watched each episode but until I saw them all together the sheer volume of work was not apparent. Well done. Ad watching Ollie and Jack grow is amazing.

[@SailingMelody]

Yes even we were surprised.

[@kiwiinwv7831]

It's impressive the amount of work you guys have put in!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Such an amazing journey and you and the boat have come so far. It was some time after this video was made that I purchased the yacht Tyrita which appears in your video at 9.25! Funny to see her here. Fabulous upgrades you have made to Melody and I can only admire the skill, tenacity and determination of you all to get her this far. Hats off to you and wishing you all,a fabulous Christmas and New Year. Spring isn’t far away, shortest day of the year on 21st. Andy UK

[@SailingMelody]

Ha that's cool! Thanks for sticking with us!

[@FLH3official]

The difference between an almost wreck/a molded piece of cr...p is talent and a lot or energy. If I say "great work" it's clearly an understatement.

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you

[@lyndeebrider2340]

So amazing the amount of work you’ve done to this boat. You must be so proud of yourselves. Mellissa is such an earth mother , home birth and straight back into it. Go girl you rock. ❤

[@claudemailloux]

Thanks. I relived great moment with the family and the boat...

[@SailingMelody]

Thanks for sticking with us x

[@TheShootinStar]

Epic video, y'all! Time flys, and those boys have grown so much in such a short period of time. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@KERNOWFISHGRAN]

Omg can't believe it's been 2 years. Jack has grown so much in the last couple of months though. ❤

[@terenceacton5803]

Well done - you transformed an unloved boat into a loved home👍

[@davideve6947]

And now you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Well done all.👍❤️

[@SailingMelody]

Absolutely a document for life. Splendid, incredible, superb........and what a huge work it must have been to edit this. You are proud, we too !! Such a special experience to know this beautifull family.

[@jenateer2518]

[@Thealder07]

Really 2 years, seems like yesterday well done all.

[@SailingMelody]

I know! Time flies eh!

[@dcdow180]

I realise the thoughts behind the solid cockpit cover that you built but looking at her today you definitely ruined the lines of the original, she was beautiful

[@sarahwilson5820]

From clapped out to classy. Go team. 🎉

[@huibert1358]

fantastic time flies by when you're having a good time...amazing all the work that has been . keep it up happy family 🇱🇺💪👊

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you x

[@ianpaulgamble2002]

Absolutely brilliant, unbelievable amount of work done, you should do a similar one for steel melody when you first embarked on this adventure, Well done guys top draw

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you!

[@JohnCarstairs1961]

I started watching your videos when you had bought “steel Melody” and I waited eagerly every week for the new video to appear in my feed. I was a bit disappointed when you bought Ocean Melody because I wasn’t going to see steel Melody in her finished condition, but I have stayed with you… and I had forgotten about the condition Ocean Melody was in and I had forgotten half the work that you have done getting her into a live aboard condition. This was a long video, but it had to be to show only some of the work you have done. You have a great video channel and a wonderful family and I still wait eagerly every week for your videos, and I’m positive that that will continue as you sail ahead in pursuit of adventures. Best regards from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

[@SailingMelody]

So glad you stuck with us!

[@donaldklapproth8091]

Amazing see what you allhave accomplished o er .yvyears watching. Ocean Melody is still in the process to meet your needs but you had so much to improve on that beautiful hull! Congratulations, well done. FWCS ⛵️ ⛵️

[@SailingMelody]

Yes still plenty to do!

[@donaldklapproth8091]

@SailingMelody thanks for your response Andy. You appear to this old man and former sailor to be pushing yourselves too much. In today's world and financial stresses it's at times overwhelming I'm aware of. My best advice without knowing your situation is don't let outside sources put any stress on you for whatever they want, you and you're family MUST COME FIRST ALWAYS!! FWCS ⛵️ ⛵️

[@lesleylatham8414]

What a tremendous amount of work you've done, but oh what tremendous rewards! Well done you! Ocean Melody is looking great. A real home. Thanks for sharing with us! (Music is great, btw) Cheers from a 🇨🇦 currently in the Bahamas (it's cold up there 🇨🇦)

[@SailingMelody]

Thank you!

[@timhollar614]

[@trevhedges]

Time for the next chapter: a bigger cabine - boat.

[@SailingMelody]

[@jonathanscott550]

1:29:06 count I take it you meant to say it will explain a lot. Really good video Andy and Melissa cramming all portions of the episode all into 1 video. You both definitely with help mind you have done a LOT of boat work and modifications. I only found this one mistake so I won't deduct you any marks lol. Looking forward to next video.

[@Winterbourne_Workshop]

What can I say that amazing doesn’t cover

[@rogerwolf7649]

And now, roads? Where we are going we don't need roads. 😊

[@francismontocchio9910]
