[@Potsie]

Duca, Whilst we have all known for a few weeks that the boat had been launched, I too did shed a little emotion at seeing this video. It is a great testament to your and Roberta's hard work - you guys have worked your clackers off - that you have reached this milestone. From a chance viewing of some couple travelling in Indonesia some time ago, you have taken myself (and many others) on a wondrous journey. You have clearly gained many skills in this process - eg. in using tools that you were clearly previously unfamiliar with which I think is great, as well as film making - amongst others. Most important are the friends you have made in this time - Fred and Juh, the blokes at the boatyard, and surely many others who haven't featured on the videos, as well as some 200,000 people whom you haven't met who watch you weekly on the net. Friendships are the most important thing in life - even in an Odd Life. And of course it goes without saying that your wonderful companion Roberta is the real star of the show - as I've said before, you are a really lucky bloke. I honestly wish and hope that someday there will be little Roberta and Duca's running round on Odd. Thanks and Congratulations, Potsie, Australia. edit: ps. Don't forget to give yourselves a holiday some time, you deserve it.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

It's incredible how much we have learned in this past years. Potsie. We are living an incredible Odd Life. For sure the friends we are making along the way are the most valuable thing of our project. We love having friends around, meet need people, share stories... This is the main reason of having this channel, to meet people and share experiences.

[@samaipata4756]

Imagine how ODD must feel! Abandoned and close to death rotting in the back of a boat yard. All of a sudden two beautiful people climb up on you and that’s when your life takes the unbelievable turn. They put all their love and hard work into you and with every day breath a new life into you! And all of a sudden after years of hard labour you see yourself as beautiful as never before! A big crane comes, gently picks you up and slowly raises you, moves you and all of a sudden you feel the soft touch of water gently rocking you. And here you find yourself back riding the vast ocean you thought you would never see again! Yeep, me too couldn’t hide my emotion to see ODD finally back to where she belongs and to participate and watch your happiness was a delight, to say the least! Congratulations and a huge thank you for all the great videos Roberta and Duca! looking forward to come along on your future journey roaming the 7 seas! May you enjoy a safe life of happiness, and adventure, fair winds and always a hand width water under your keel and may ODD always be a loving safe home for you! Oh god, she is a beauty, a creation of true love! ⛵️💞👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍 And my thanks reaching out to everyone who supported this project and made this dream become reality!🙏🙏🙏💞

Dear Duca and the lovely Roberta. I’ve been following you guy’s and the project for some time now and have seen every single episode of your journey. Today is the very first time i feel the need to comment on your page, just to tell you that there is absolutely no shame in being emotional about your dream unfold in front of you. I too shed a tear of joy for both of you. I have so much respect for all the hard work and dedication you and Roberta have put into this boat. Then i have to mention Fred and his beautiful wife as well. Last but not least...I’m 55 years of age and single for many, many years. The reason for that is because i am still searching for a woman and a life partner that looks at me with so much admiration, respect and love like Roberta is always looking at you. You my friend are the luckiest man alive. May you two beautiful souls never loose that special connection. I wish you fair winds and following seas. Now lets go sailing!

[@aniciorossitorella7794]

I'm in the same position: followed all the previous episodes since lockdown time in Italy, and the fixed monday appointment for the new one, for the last four months. I'm not used to subscribe neither to comment but this time I'm proud to be your follower. Roberta and Duca, you had done a huge job ... very happy for you. And Duca, sometimes a teardrop hilights the real soul of a man better than many words. Be proud of you and Roberta. Happy sailing!

Piet van Rensburg that was a great comment. Not sure what country you are from but like you I’m single and live in the U.S. ! There are very few, very few, very few women like Roberta in the U.S.A.

No scale can measure the amount of joy I have seeing the end of this phase of your Life Adventure. Following you week by week from the Container House to your sailboat has been a true highlight of my weeks. Your perseverance, willingness to learn allowed you to overcome many challenges that stop most people at the dream stage. But I have to say, the most overwhelming thing throughout your videos is, we never saw your arguments, only the harmony that is the foundation of your life together. You could turn this into a feature-length film, as my wife’s parents did as they built their 42’ Westsail they named “Windrifter”. They filmed their build and their 1-year cruise from Los Angeles to Acapulco to Hawaii to Glacier Bay Alaska and back to Los Angeles. Thank you for bringing me along in your adventure! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well, it seems I'm not the only person who welled up and starting to cry with all the emotion. Roberta and Duca congratulations on the splashing of your yacht, and how beautiful she looks floating. A very emotional episode. Looking forward to seeing you sail her in the future.

What an achievement. To resurrect this boat after so long and to dedicate four years doing it. RESPECT🙏👍⛵️❤️❤️

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Many thanks!

[@justinjwolf]

This whole series is now the longest Sikaflex ad ever. Congrats to you both - beam winds...

[@OddLifeCrafting]

And we didn't get a dime with it. hahahaha Thanks for the support, Justin

[@rolfdc2934]

@oddlifecrafting: maybe, you could agree with the sikaflex marketing team to make a 'sikaflex timelapse' special episode 😁

[@glennolson7921]

It seems like I've been watching you both for so long... And I've enjoyed all of it. I am truly happy for you both. Congratulations and happy sailing ❤️❤️

[@DrTPD]

Amazing.... followed you guys for almost a year and enjoyed watching the rebuild.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Congratulations to the successful completion of many hours of tough work. She looks outstanding sitting at dock waiting for the next part of her reincarnation. Getting ready for sea trials. You both have really done an outstanding job turning a vulture into an eagle. I couldn't be happier for you and all the folks that helped make the project happen. May Neptune bless you and keep you safe at sea. Continue moving forward with your life together.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you very much ☺️🤗

[@JimmyMitchell-Lucky]

Duca, I laughed when I saw you put the “ DUCAFLEX “ on the bolt heads on the anti-corrosion bar on the bottom of the boat!!! That was the classic perfect way to end the job!!! “DUCAFLEX “ on the bottom will make “Sailing Vessel Odd” float forever!!!!

[@leocastrillo]

Jajajjajjaja DUCAFLEX JAJJAJAJ

[@DaversTravels]

If Sica was smart they would release a signature product line called DucaFlex. I can see it now: "DucaFlex. That's pregood! Yeah!"

U guys put so much work and enthousiasme into this project. U learned a lot and we learned with u every single week and had so much fun. U deserve this dream. On to the sails ⛵️

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks so much for the support ☺️💕

[@macumbeiro_xx]

I'm off work today so I said let me do some Capoeira warm up while I watch Roberta's and Duca's video... then I found myself training with a lump on my throat trying not to tear up. No need to apologize Duca, I wish I was able to allow myself to show emotion to the world like you do. You two deserve what you have achieved and Odd will return the favor for taking her back on the water, she looks brand new and beautiful.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much for the support and best wishes

[@mdcoomer67]

Knock it off man...you've got all of us crying now. Congratulations you two. Well done!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot! 💕

[@amandaperry8931]

We’ve been watching from the beginning. Can’t afford patronage, but we subscribe and have been with you every step of the way. I’m wiping my tears with you. Couldn’t be happier for your accomplishment. Sending you much joy and peace. From two mountain hippies. Amanda and Chuck.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕 Guys, you don't need to be Patreons to support us. Just knowing you enjoy following our videos is already a way of supporting us.😊🤗

[@iancrawfordmagic]

You two are SO genuine! You give us hope in a time when the world is in turmoil. Thank you for your optimism , determination and accomplishments. And congratulations!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much for the support and kindness!😊🤗

[@iancrawfordmagic]

What is your paypal address? I’d like to give you a little help

[@NewSkiwi]

I am sitting here crying my eyes out with you guys. I am so incredibly proud of you following your dream, and overcoming so many obstacles with such tenacity. Well done! If you ever come to Tauranga, NZ, let us know. Enjoy your beautiful boat. Kia Ora.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕 We would love to stop at the Tauranga marina with Odd some day. We were visiting friends in 2016 and we always walked around the marina close to Mount Maunganui.😊💕

[@rodneywroten2994]

Duca when you were chocking up at the first of the video I also lost it and teared up with you. Congrats on your launch -dry boat and over 200k subscribers. So sorry I could not help with money but 2010 I had two bad heart attacks and that put me on disability. I will always be here on this channel

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕 Thanks for the support once again, Rodney. There is no need for any donation, my friend. Watching and enjoying following our journey is a great way to support us

[@tvl6308]

Wow, some things still have to be seen how she shows herself: in the water and under sail is always a different and new sight, and unexpected. But this ship has beautiful lines once in the water!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😍⛵

[@sgtjbone1]

I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait to see you guys sail around and bring us on your adventures. I know this was a very emotional day for both of you. ❤️ it. ~Paul

[@formhubfar]

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕😊

[@alexmnblyth]

They’re brought to tears, my lord, we all know launching a boat for the first time is a special moment :)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕

[@petestack]

When I relaunched my 28ft yacht last year after nearly 14 years ashore and a consuming two-year refit, I felt just like Roberta and Duca. So I know, I understand, and I share your emotional joy! :-)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕Glad you had experience a similar feeling

[@poppylane1]

The emotions are to be expected when you have put heart and sole in to something as big as this, make the most of life, hope you are going to have a trip on her before finishing the house. Well done it takes a team but it needs your passion to see it through.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot for the support and best wishes!! 💕

[@Kevin15301]

Congratulations Your happiness is well earned and much deserved.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕Thanks, Kevin

[@redtesta]

You both are kind , sweet and humble. If the world had just a 1/4 of how you are it would be a much better place. So happy for both of you in getting your boat to splash down!!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕💕

[@bobthesnobscotland2821]

Yesssssss Well done guys Can't wait to see her sail Best wishes from Scotland 👍😁🎉🥃

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks!!!

[@gregmirr]

Restoring an abandoned boat is a major job , I've watched you two with admiration your attention to detail has paid off. The most impressive part for me is seeing your brilliantly clean dry white bilges .... That's the difference between a good job and a great job well done !

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks for the support, Gregg!

[@alainboutolleau]

Duca, Roberta, Fred and his partner, you made me shed a tear, I am so happy for you !!! Odd is magnificent, racy, slender, what a presence !!! this boat is really superb, now I can't wait to see it sailing under its spinaker !!! all my wishes for good trips and great adventures !!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much! 😊💕

[@cyberp0et]

Finally! That boat has been waiting for this moment for so many years. I am glad to see this happening.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😊🌅⛵

[@hymer644g]

You two deserve everything you’ve achieved. I’ll never meet you but I feel we are friends. Fred has done a fantastic job helping as well. Duca it’s understandable that you got emotional, I would have been in floods. You’re an inspiration to everyone.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much for your support and friendship, Jon. 💕

[@sethhardley]

Wow! So excited for you both! You are truly an inspiration. It’s so fun to see how much you care for one another and work so well together! The the beginning of so many new adventures. When I have to leave home for work to travel around the world I always look forward to catching up on the progress and videos! I was thinking of you guys a couple of days ago when I was in Sydney watching people going out on the harbour to sail on a beautiful Friday afternoon. I remembered you guys talking about your time in Australia deciding what to do next! Love and thanks to you guys as this journey continues!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Oh! Sydney, we miss it. A friend that worked there with Duca just arrived here to live with us and to help us. Thanks so much for the support. We are glad you were also excited with this amazing moment we had. ☺️

[@sethhardley]

@@OddLifeCrafting I’m sure it is so nice to have the help! Just think, in the near future you guys could be sailing your own new/old boat into Sydney Harbor! Thank you for allowing us to ride along on your adventure. It would be fun to get meet both of you someday in the future!

[@juliofogaca4358]

my congratulations to the couple, i am so happy to know that it was a success, this stage, congratulations, good trip, new adventure.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much!

[@brendariley8982]

I cried and I cried and I cried. This was perfect. You all have worked so hard for this moment. Bless you and thank you for sharing it with us. What a perfect day.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

💕Thank you so much for the support, Brenda. Special moment

[@lramirez0317]

I wasn't expecting any leaks after all that Sika-flex and rubber used... Ha ha ha! "Outstanding job guys" I don't know why I want to cry, is not even my boat! So happy for you!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😂 Thank you very much!💕

[@thommeyer6356]

As I age, I increasingly realize how precious following your dreams really is...thank you Roberta and Duca for following your dream and sharing it with all of us. Your love, joy and perseverance give us all hope, in a world that has turned upside-down. I'm already looking forward to the next video. Be well and be safe.

[@extremelydave]

Ah the wisdom of age... if it could only be the wisdom of youth......

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thank you so much for the support and best wishes, Thom. 💕

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Right? That would be great

[@guthrie1960]

We started following when the house was going together. Then you found the boat and I was like there is no way you could get that boat looking good again it would just take too much! I am so very pleased to say I was right and I was wrong! It did take you a great deal of work that most would not have done it is why the boat sat for so long. Yet you two were the one's to really take on this project and we have watched every single one of the videos along the way and I can say I can not remember being so proud of the out standing work you have done with this boat! I loved your list, because I too was making a mental check list of all that needed to be done and it was so nice to see you guys on top of every little detail. I will always be following and maybe one day I will see the boat. Stay safe.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

So happy to hear you are here since the container house! Thank you so much for the longgggg time support, J. Thank you so much for the kind words and best wishes 💕

[@kradailha]

Hello Duca and Roberta, today as it is a special day, I also decided to write in English. Odd in the water !!! There is no way not to feel the emotion. Congratulations on such a great achievement. They worked hard and deserve it. Now it's time to see this spectacle of a sailboat sailing. Big hug and until the next video !!!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Wow! Special comment hehe. Thanks so much for the support, Marcelo. 😊🤗
