Buy two drive savers, so you have a spare. They do fail!

By the way, to make laminate not to delaminate any more you can drill the holes across all boards and fill them with epoxy. I fix delamination of wooden paramotor propellers this way.

And from another kiwi. Someone once told me, "that a yacht is just a hole in the ocean, into which you pour money." Which for me, was application of new antifoul and replacing the anodes. Plus Plus Plus other incidentals, that showed up while on the hard. Loving your channel. Take care and atb from down here in Nz.

Very true! You know what they say about boats, "Break, Out, Another Thousand - BOAT"". Thanks so much for watching!!

Thanks Russel! We are making our way your way!

[@russellneville7145]

@@sailingtaku how cool is that. I hope there is something I can do to help when you get here. I'm not a rich man by any means, but I always do my best to help. Fair winds & following seas.

[@user-retsailor]

Thank you for all your videos that detailed anchorages up to Puerto Panasco. They all looked great. Hoping you two are having good sailing and good luck after this video !

[@michelled2234]

Love the new paint on the hull! Splash day is coming soon! Yay!

[@johndavidson6867]

Good to see you getting ready to get wet. It seems all boat work takes far longer than anticipated, and some little thing appears out of nowhere to frustrate you. Hope things move along smoothly now.

[@sailingtaku]

Thanks for watching John! That's very true about the boat work! Feels good once it is all done :)

[@ourv9603]

You know, All the cool kids have ditched their anchor chains & have made the switch to synthetic anchor rope. It does not clank, nor rust, is lightweight does not damage the chain locker, is cheaper & stronger & lasts longer. !

[@sailingtaku]

Not quite ready to make the switch just yet but definitely worth looking into! Thanks for the idea!

Nice job

[@hermank1474]

It's not dangerous in that part of the world? I've heard stories about pirates and sailors kidnappings.

[@SeattleLifeguard]

Not dangerous. We sailed all over Mexico and down into Central America for three years. I saw much more violence in the US.

[@claybornlewis276]

I'm sorry but there just isn't no way I could put white paint on that beautiful wood

[@sailingtaku]

It was a hard decision!

[@SeattleLifeguard]

Wow - you guys make great videos!! We bought our boat in Pender Harbor and sailed off from Seattle, so we're familiar with your neck of the woods. We thought the Sea of Cortez was going to be the highlight for us in Mexico, but it was actually Puerto Vallarta and South that we liked best. You mentioned a Pacific crossing coming up in the Spring. Where will you be heading? French Polynesia or maybe Hawaii? We're currently in Hawaii and we'll be heading to French Polynesia next. Anyways, keep up the great videos!! SV Jean Anne

[@sailingtaku]

Thank you! And so cool you set sail from Pender. We never made it further south than PV but we’ve heard amazing things. Where are you guys now?

[@SeattleLifeguard]

@@sailingtaku We're at Ko Olina on O'ahu right now. We hope to be heading for the Big Island in about a month, then to Tahiti in the Spring. =)

[@SpencerPhotography]

WhooHoo!!! Back on the water soon!

[@raybaby]

Glad you were close enough and had help getting into port. I have lot smaller boats and know all the work along with the cost of maintaining it and all I do is go fishing. What an adventure you two are having. Awesome !!!

[@sailingtaku]

It's all about balance for sure. Thanks for watching Ray!
