NO mo' leaks* 🎉 (Patreon)

Hi guys,

This video was shot about a week and a half ago. I'm super excited to announce that the forward part of the boat is 100% dry. The reason for the asterisk in the title is that we still have a tiny leak into the sugar scoops, but that's in no way critical :)

In real-time, I'm rushing to finish a video before heading up to see Ava next week for Thanksgiving. I've made some progress on the 3D scanning/new hatch video (mentioned at the beginning of this video) and am currently just waiting to find someone with a CNC nearby willing to teach me a little bit of CAM and let me use their machine. On the Discord server, I've made a few comments about our diesel tanks and water tanks. I'm still waiting to hear back from the fabricator who has the tank. After dropping off one fuel tank to get a quote, I opened the water tanks and took some photos (posted on Discord). Figuring out the tank situation is currently the highest priority. If we need to replace the water tanks, we must do that before doing more work inside the hulls. In other news, I have gotten a complete list of the components for the steering system from Antares. That was very nice and very helpful of them :) The not-so-great news is that a complete steering setup from Jefa (back in Denmark) is around USD 8000. A hefty price tag, for sure! I'll go over what we currently have before ordering anything. Unfortunately, steering is one of those things where compromising is not a good option :)

I'm off to the catamaran. It's a bit of a late start today because the power was out on the dock last night, so I had to run the engine this morning to ensure we don't run out of juice while I'm gone. On a positive note it got down to 46F last night (no heat on inside the boat). It was the best night of sleep I've had since we got to Florida! ;)

Have a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support!
