Epic! Now you can see in both directions, from past to future.

Congratulations! I admire the strength and perseverance you both have shown. Maya's philosophical descriptions of her emotional struggles are insightful and inspiring. It's impressive how gentle and patient Aladino is with Maya. Rather than being eager to demonstrate his greater knowledge and skill at every step, as many people would do, he allows her to come to her own solutions without immediately jumping in to show her the way, and he congratulates her for her successes without condescension. I think these are the signs of a great teacher and considerate partner.

It's always great to watch the work and your struggles, I have been amazed that you have kept the spirit so high for so long. Showing the downside of a big boat refit only contributes to a more complete story, so keep up the good work and carry on. I have a small boatyard in Sweden where I repair old boats so I know the pain you're going through. Sad that you are on the other side of the globe, otherwise I could have given you some help with all the sanding and fiberglassing.

Honesty, emotional vulnerability, perseverance and mutually supportive, what a powerful combination… you're not just rebuilding the boat you are building yourselves in the process!!!!thank you for sharing this process! Well done and bless you both and all that you touch….your reach extends farther than you can imagine…

All of the problems this boat had were built into the boat the day it was launched. Rebuilding the boat better will cause none of the problems that the boat had to come back. When you drill a bolthole in a deck just drill a much larger hole than needed and fill it with thickened epoxy and redrill it to the smaller size. This can't allow rain water to enter the wood.

Your decision to post this video has been inspirational in so many ways to me as I reflect on my own boat life. We pour so much of ourselves into our vessels. What seems like a series of never ending surprises can and will cause self doubt to even the best of us.

This video showcased just how easy it can be to get caught up in the turmoil of boat rehab projects. I appreciate how Maya was able to state in clear detail her feelings of sadness and then absolute joy in a successfully completed step of the settee divider project. Too often, I forget how my spouse feels in these projects and hearing the self doubt then satisfaction from Maya, all along being lovingly supported by Aladino has reminded me to be a better partner to my best friend in life.

MC2 is looking amazing and will be a truly magnificent home/sailing partner for the two of you!

I know I'm some dude on the internet and don't know you personally. But I got myself a boat about three years ago and lived aboard it during COVID and beyond, largely inspired as a result of watching you two. I went from being a solider, then media, and even took on a shipwright/boat building apprenticeship because of that evolution and often think of yours and Aladino's enthusiasm in sharing your story when things are a little rough. I have a little list of difficult projects for my own boat, but every time I step aboard I love it and the journey I've taken.

Am I fixing the boat, or is the boat fixing me? I don't know. But the question is enough.

One of my favourite things about your channel is that you're more or less just tastefully yourselves. Which is also, like the question - enough.

As much as this shows the lows, it also transparently offers that none of the joyful episodes of you two pottering down a French canal network or jumping into the Mediterranean just off some storybook town in the back of a shot comes cheaply. It comes with blood, sweat and tears and a whole lot of effort and a dash of talent. I find the transparency encouraging, so for the first time in years it's probably time for me to say a heartfelt thank you, your stories have tremendous value to the point that if you're ever in Australia, I hope I don't superfan you both -- but I'd very happily shake your hand and get you a beer.

I used to cherrypick the episodes of the fun stuff and err away from the hard work, and I've found these ones interesting and am very grateful for it all.

Thanks, from Australia. I hope you know the value of your work.

Such a heartfelt episode detailing your struggles & conflicting emotions that it almost seems wrong to say we enjoyed it......but we did. Our hearts feel heavy for you at times but we are also spurring you on from afar & willing you forward. So great to see you untapping & developing new skills, Maya.....& what an excellent source of advice & instruction you have in Aladino. You make a formidable team.....all strength to you as you tackle & cross more from "The List".
