You’ll NEVER Believe What I did to the INSIDE of My Boat
Рет қаралды 38,037
2 жыл бұрынBack to Panama to fix and WASH out the INSIDE of the boat. Then we can fix these broken #bulkheads on our Lagoon 450 #Catamaran! The sadness of leaving my family AGAIN really hits me this time. All good, bury myself in WORK asap. I hunt down a small town in the Panamanian jungle that sells rainsuits for $3. Then I literally drown the boat with my sorrows. They said I'd never be able to get all the fiberglass dust out, but I found a way.

You've had to quite literally go thru hell fixing this vessel but once it's all done you and your family will be in heaven cruising and enjoying life to it's fullest. My hats off to you young man many would have thrown in the towel long ago but you've stuck with it and haven't quit. You and others like you and Colin really are a true inspiration and a real world demonstration of the strength of the human spirit and what someone can do if they just refuse to give in and quit. I can't wait to see you and your family getting to enjoy what their father/husband/son, you David, have suffered thru and done for them. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

Thank you so much....it really was incredibly difficult, I don't show a lot of the dark times. The only 2 reasons I didnt quit was because of Colin's help and comradery! And also following through with these videos....i couldn't take a loss and just pack up and go home. How would I ever explain that to you guys??? So thank you Mjr Burn!

G'day David, you're bloody hilarious mate. Your channel is definitely one of my favourite sailing channels on YT. You do a wicked amazing job at editing mate. You definitely make some great content 👍. I'm so glad you got to see your wife and kids. You have an incredibly supportive wife. I wish you nothing but success mate :) Hopefully you can get your Lagoon completed and splashed in the near future. Then you & family, can finally be reunited again on the boat 😃🤗😊. Cheers from Western OZ 🇦🇺.

50 years ago I sandblasted and painted offshore platforms to pay my way thru college. My suggestion for anyone going thru what David and Colin are going thru is to buy a sandblasting hood with a small air compressor. The hood straps around your chest and has an air supply hose that is hooked to the air compressor. This gives you positive pressure inside the hood and keeps the dust outside. The air supply also provides a cooling breeze inside the hood as it blows across your sweaty face and it keeps the face plate clear so you can see.

@David Shih Just make sure you put your compressor somewhere outside where it can't suck in any of the dust. OR, see if someone in the area has a scuba hookah they can let you borrow. Those typically give you a better quality air than a regular compressor.

@@david_shih Think air fed mask used by spray painters in panel shops, the cool breeze as you are working is great, you just need an air compressor and a good filtration system on the compressor to remove oil and water from the line (you don't want to breath that either) before it hits the carbon filter at the mask.

Hi TJ!!! This is Mary!!! I can't believe you found us! This is a crazy adventure we're about to start with the 4 kiddos, but I'm so excited!!! We should be heading back to Texas in a few months to completely move aboard and start full-time cruising.

Hey David. Love your videos brother. We met for a short time when we were at Linton Bay. You may remember me and Lyndsey. We were the big 60' navy blue catamaran (Invictus) on the other side of the small canal. We just spent a few weeks hanging out and surfing with Colin when he brought Parlay up in front of our sailing center here in Costa Rica. If you ever bring Epic over to the Pacific side please look us up. Anyways, thanks for sharing the great videos and keep up the awesome positive attitude! Pura vida. Jeff

Hey Jeff! Oh we’ll definitely look you up when we make it to the other side! I bet Colin had a blast with you, he loves surfing more than anything. How’s the cat doing? Do you live aboard out there?

You'll be glad you did all the protective gear and post grinding washing ! Leaving some hi intensity work lamps or a heater running while you're not inside hulls should help drying too.. but don't leave unattended overnight for fire reasons of course ! Those squirrel cage fans may be better used as exhausts on one or both hatches in sleeping spaces vs just moving air around inside hull with no escape. That's really the key to drying if you can't get massive AC to de-humidify. Being in Panama, since it's always so humid, heating the air may achieve more than chilling in those conditions. I don't know if they even have them down there, but a leaf blower ( or 2, they'll burn up ) may be useful to blast air through ceiling spaces etc to help accelerate drying too. Happy New Year David !
@david_shih 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Mike! great tips on the heat....no access to that so I ended up just running the dehumidifier for an extra week after it was dry...just in case. I didn't want to bring outside air in bc its so wet and humid here. Rains a few times a day as well!
