Hello you 2 xx I saw you a lot in Gloucester, I am friends with Jack & Eve and Colin and Viv x we never met but I used to wave at you every time I passed you. Huge credit to you! What a wonderful, inspiring film!!! I wish you all the best, love your humility, bravery and warmth ❤️. Looking forward to seeing your adventures unfold ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on a beautiful refit and a wonderful day out. It’s wonderful to see Josephine cut through those welcoming flat waters under an azure sky.

Holy Mackerel. I was wondering where you were. Glad to see you are underway.

`Congratulations on the completion of Josefine,as a retired 86 year old Shipwright and live aboard owner of a 12 ton,Mahogony on Oak,Gaffed rigged Ketch, i have enjoyed your journey from the first,fair winds,i will condinue to enjoy your adventures,[i sail on San Francisco bay].

Well done to both of you. Fantastic achievement. Thanks also for your words of encouragement for others undertaking a similar rebuild. I have been rebuilding my 90 year old gaffer ( which I sailed in company with josafine on many accasions a few years ago) its been a huge undertaking but I am slowly making progress. I look forward to maybe one day sailing in company once again. Thanks again and best wishes.

Brilliant, huge congratulations, a new chapter of this adventure has begun. Enjoy. Peace and love and may the wind be at your back and may you have gentle following seas!

Josefine is gorgeous a job well done you earned it now enjoy her.

Well done guys, understand you get a bit emotional. It's quite something what you've achieved and bitten through the hardtimes. God luck and fair winds to you both.Love your videos, keep them coming . Cheers.

What a beautiful day afloat!

Smoky engine room and recovery on the tide great event 👍

I was moved to tears when I recently saw the video series “Restoring Josefine”. I sailed and lived on her for 5 months in 1968. I was passionately in love with her. I’m thrilled to discover that she is back at sea and with two people so devoted to her renaissance. You may be interested to learn that I wrote about my time with Josefine in a memoir called Tamar at Sea. My book was launched in May 2024, just two weeks before you set sail! Imagine the synchronicity, that all the while I was delving deep into one chapter of Josefine’s history, you were busy uncovering it too!

good sailing and exploring around your .next anchorage, dont want to give any spoilers !

Been following you from the beginning, what a milestone, my heart is lifted, Josephine, such a beautiful ship, she looks resplendant in her new clothes, Randy and yourself must be so proud, i can understand why you would be choking up, i was too.. beautiful calligraphy, is there nothing you can't do.! 👍🍺⛵🇦🇺

After all the years of hard graft the Gods must have decided to reward you with a couple of smiling days of well deserved sheer joy ,I wish wish you many more but days like that are the SIRENS so NEVER let your guard down !All the very best of luck on this new endeavour . Pete

You two people are a huge credit to people of our generation, you were handed a poison chalice and through sheer strength of character you tufned that poison into good wine . I get a tear in my eye when I think of the anguish ye must have had to endure . Thank you so much and I hope our paths cross some day .

I'm so pleased for both you, this has been a long time coming but now it's time to enjoy it!

You both are so worth this! Congratulations

4:30 - that bridge raising just for you! what a feeling!

Many congratulations to you both! All your hard work has paid off. We look forward to following you on your journey. J&JXX

❤❤❤

What an amazing day and a very tricky river passage for Josefine's first sea trip to a quiet bay at anchor - congratulations to both of you

Sometimes.... you both deserved that perfect day. Bon Vent.

The highest respect to you both. I know I couldn’t do what you have done. Amazing! Congratulations!

Would love comments on sailing southwestern English coast, as you break in Josephine.

Can't wait to see her under full sail.

Josefina looks very beautiful

Josephine is a credit to you both, seeing her leave dock was an incredibly beautiful site... Smooth sailing and fair winds on your adventures.

Im so glad you have achieved ❤❤

Cor! You couldn't have asked for a better maiden voyage. Somebody's smiling upon you. The boat is an absolute credit to you. Very well done.

Well done!. A lot of tenacity required to get this far.

Enormous congratulations.

Hi there!! So nice seeing da ship, out on da water! As for your graceful dinghy, I have a Finn dinghy, and on its tiller I have an extension, that allows me sitting sort of midships and balance the boat . Also, on my seven meter wooden double ender, I have an tiller extension, which could be quite long, since it have two alu pipes, one smaller. So I can by turning the cork ball it locks any lenght I choose. Use it every time I am on the waves.... Anyway, hope you are relaxing and enjoying the fruit of your hard work!! Just an idea,allda bestest from mikke in sweden...;-D

Brilliant video thank you Josefine looking fab well done

You both equal Josephine poised beauty's..All thru this clip, I wondered about the days of your 1st times 2gether..where-why-how..& the path preceding to now. You look wonderful as a couple..alot alike..mature, looking for fun, very cute as you chat & comment of the simple beauty's. A very classy-classic opening..with the gorgeous penmanship. You are a true extraordinary cool dude! An eye for detail! Im trying to imagine what auto you would have..maybe a 60's Volvo wagon..grey with red interior. Or a Morris Minor woody station wagon🎠 thank you tons for all those busting ass & back years..so now we might hop aboard & feel our way along together..my best 2 you..from Canyon in Marin Calif.

Pleased to see an update on your life! And that you and Randy are well.. Tried sailing recently but once you've flown yourself around it all seems to happen too slowly!

Fantastic. Congratulations. Enjoy.

A good sail for a day Randy, and looks the idyllic life out there; mine can be quite hectic, but next week my wife and kids fly out for a month so I will be free to get around a bit, if I can fund it that is as my work has nearly died a death this past few years! Mark xxx

“Josephine” looks beautiful,can’t wait to see her under a full spread of canvas,cheers, Roly 🇬🇧.

This episode is really exceptional. Really enjoyed the detailed explanation, drone footage, and maps about navigation out to sea. Really fascinating. Well done!

Made up for you guys. Sail on.

The building is over, and the sailing begins. Congratulations, and good luck in the future. I`ll follow your journey further on.

Bonjour Reg, I discover one of your hidden talent, the art of writing, with a pen furthermore, so uncommon when every one has a laptop. Besides this, you have lived a stressful moment with your engine room and I would have liked to see the cause of the issue and the parts you will have to enhance. You don' build any longer, that does not mean you have no maintenence to deal with so I would like to see more of your work, share your various skillness ! No sexism in the question, who is cooking ? Randy and/or you 😉? What food did you take on board ? Amicalement, Raphaël

Congratulations! I hope to one day see Josefine on the water!

Reg, what a sight, so happy for you both. Looking forwards to seeing her under sail. Pleased to see you recovered from the scare in the engine room, get those bearings fixed so you won’t loose more sleep. Yep, you’re right, it’s all worth it, the filth, sweat, tears, but also the learning new skills, the research of how to tie knots, plane wood, shape metal, pity youth is wasted on the young. Looking forward to your journeys abroad, and if you ever get to Sydney Australia, I’d love to meet you both.

Congratulations, and thanks for an excellent video...

Safe sailing on your passages. You deserve it .
