Oh my..3 hrs in a tool store looking for a drill! LOL Would James/Jim go clothes shopping with you for 3 hrs? I bet he would. I also follow another family sailing videos..Sailing Zatara that have been sailing for I believe 7yrs and their children were small as well. They also have a tutorial channel you might check out…if you haven't seen them already. I'm very excited watching you guys in your travels and learning your new boat. Claudie/Texas

Hi Guys.

Great video work. Thank You for sharing. Just a hint but You might already know. Cruisers use Disposal nappies in the bilge to soak up oil spills. There are dozens before You who have gone through this process before You who are on Youtube. Reach out to Caltalpa for any handyman fixes. Leigh is very good at coming up with solutions.

David. Down Under.

We’ll be in La Rochelle at the end of April, cruising down towards the Med. Hope to see you guys on the water. Don’t let some comments bring you down! Go for it, live should be an adventure.

I'm sorry, but that's not a shake down sail. To shake down the boat you need to push everything to it's limits. You need to sail it for a couple of days, spend nights at anchor, sail in over twenty knots with some waves, (and reef late!) To put the rig under pressure. Run the engine under high revs, make water, even. A tootle in no wind outside the harbour wall in flat calm will teach you virtually nothing. For example, were there concerning bulkhead noises? I know that's more of a Lagoon issue but it's not something you wait to discover when you're thousands of miles away from the broker!

My rule of thumb with shopping for hardware is if I'm going without the wife, I do all my research in the store... I play with every drill, hold every hammer.. So much fun. If I'm in the unfortunate position of going in with the wife, and worse the kids, I research on line, call to make sure they have the item, and then it's like the SAS: go in, complete the mission objectives as far as possible and get out, hopefully leaving nobody behind!

Not sure if this song would work. U2's "I still have not found what I am looking for"

So great to sea real people displaying real emotions, especially the excitement of buying a new boat. I am sure that you have found out already that the electric and electronic systems required to keep a single modern sailing boat fully functioning are really complex. Add to that manual systems that are exposed to UV and salt water and boat life becomes understandably a labour of continuous maintenance… but also a labour of love. Buying a new boat will shield you from excessive maintenance for a short while, but it will always be there. Your comments about the boat “not being ready” resonate completely with me and I often wonder what the state of charter boats are that just get shipped out to the Med and Caribbean without the detailed scrutiny that an owner operator demands. Lastly, please don’t let the trolls on YouTube get you down, you are a beautiful family sharing some great moments in your life and the vast majority of viewers will appreciate that. As I said on an earlier video you can mange negative posts through your dashboard and perhaps you should look at that because the more popular you become (which you will) the more you will attract people who want to knock you down.

Dewalt is a good reliable power tool. I was given an 18V cordless drill back in 2013. I still have it and use it just about every day at work. I have abused the hell out of that drill and it keeps going. Also own the Dewalt XR line of 20V cordless tools; circular saw, saber saw, jig saw, orbital sander, impact wrench and grinder. The grinder does drain a 6 amp hour battery fast so I'd recommend getting one that plugs into AC power. The XR is suppose to be the contractor series. Only had that line since 2019 and so far they have performed great on the job site.
