Today is a big day for SOPHISTICATED LADY.. After 4+ Years of thinking and planning, we finally have our CopperCoat package ready to apply! The preparation work is all laid out, the guys are ready, the CopperCoat is READY.. time for a new copper infused epoxy bottom job that should last 8-10 years and make the Lady very slippery fast in the water.. on top of being far more environmentally friendly than almost every other option in bottom coatings for boats! Hope you guys enjoy the video, and I'll look forward to hear from you with any questions you may have for a follow-up Q&A if you like!

Today we are back in the boatyard with the ongoing re-fit of SOPHISTICATED LADY.. lots of projects on the go these days, including one today where we install a new set of Alpha Display Touchscreens from RayMarine, that are potentially a new GAME CHANGER for Sailors.. what do you think? This re-fit would not be possible without the direct support of our family, friends, partners, and some of you.. You know who you are, so thank you!

Some of you might remember my other two sons, Justin and Brenden.. they are both on hand for todays video, and if you also remember that Brenden used to edit our SSL videos, you'll be happy to know that he edited todays video! Today we're having some fun with a new e-Scooter called the DT2 Pro by AUSOM.. and I must say, having spent some time riding it, and giving some family and friends the opportunity to test it out, all reported the same thing.. it was Awesome! Seriously though, this scooter was way more fun to ride than I expected, and the top-end features like dual 1000w motors with hydraulic disc brakes front and back made it a truly exhilerating ride, with plenty of stopping power for those unexpected moments. For me it seems like a great addition to a mobile lifestyle, and it's electric so we can charge it from our solar power.. even better!

Today's update takes us back to the boat in Cartegana, COLOMBIA, on the hard at Manzanilo Marina and Boatyard.. we spend time reviewing some of the recent issues we've found with the hull and keel bolts of "Sophisticated Lady".. and hopefully find solutions! We also get a call that our good friend Vern's boat, "Liquid Courage", has been dismasted just outside of Cartagena Harbor. so we quickly hop in the dinghy and set off on our way to render any assistance possible! Thanks as always for watching, enjoy the episode, and look forward to your comments below!
