Our biggest project yet! Our old bottom paint was failing and our thru hulls were corroding! We hauled out at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard to take care of both problems at once. Doing most of the work ourselves, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into! Incredibly hot weather and back breaking labor, after 4 days the thru hulls were complete and we finished prepping to start the paint. Thankfully we didn’t sand the bottom paint ourselves. Instead we wanted to start fresh and got the bottom professionally blasted down to bare gel coat. After days prepping the bottom of the boat we toiled for two MORE days to apply four coats of Interlux 2000 barrier paint followed by two coats of Trinidad Pro. We thought this was going to be easy peasy, right? I’ve painted the entire inside of my house, how hard could it be to paint a boat? We were so wrong… Constant crouching on our knees then standing back up - lather, rinse, repeat… The Trinidad Pro has so much copper in it, holding that heavy roller full of paint above our head for hours was brutal! On the bright side, we both got a full body workout two days in a row 🤣 We finished up the last coat of paint around 9pm and it wasn’t until the next morning that we could appreciate the fruits of our labor, it was so worth it. 💙 Will I ever volunteer to paint the bottom of another boat…? Oh, heck no! If you’re wondering how much money projects like this cost, check it👇🏼👇🏼 Thru hulls = $800 Barrier paint = $1000 Anti-fouling paint = $1050 Bottom blasting = $2000 Yard fees = $1650 Misc parts, supplies, & consumables = $300 TOTAL without labor = $6800 Cost of therapy = TBD…… 😵‍💫 #boatwork #sailingcouple #beneteau411 #sailboat #boatproject #diy #shorts

STEPPING IT UP! OBR Sam Greenfield has serious drone skills and brought sailing in our living rooms. But there are Drone pilots out there who might not fly their drones from a boat on an ocean but have unbelievable flying skills. We partnered up with the world's best pilots from the Drone Racing League and put his skills to the test and shot AWESOME footage. Stay tuned for the whole story next week!

Rimaniamo sempre su Formentera ma ci avviciniamo verso nord, in una baia vicino a Ibiza. Tante barche, tantissime barche. L’AIS esplode 😂 Il monitor del navigatore è un tripudio di barche in navigazione che schizzano a destra e sinistra come i matti. Arriviamo al secondo ancoraggio. Diamo fondo. L’acqua non è un gran che, ma dobbiamo riconoscere che cala Saona ci ha abituati al top. Facciamo un bagno e ci rilassiamo al sole. La cosa che fa sorridere è che il mare sarebbe piatto. Ma non lo è per il così frequente passaggio di barche a motore che vanno a velocità sostenute ovunque. E così ci arriva un treno di onde dopo l’altro che sembra essere costante. Ecco come abbiamo passato questo sabato. Puntata della serie che stiamo guardando (the boys, non l’avevamo mai visto. Super splatter ma simpatica). Poi io mi alleno (ormai sta diventando routine, non più sofferta ma gradita) mentre assistiamo a un tramonto meraviglioso. Oggi abbiamo sentito anche nostri amici che non sentivamo da un po’ ♥️ quanti abbracci al ritorno!!!! Ora cena e poi a dormire, domani ci spostiamo verso Maiorca. Ci leggiamo domani, Buona notte Andrea

We waited an extra day at Staniel Cay waiting on better wind to make our Way to Bell Island. We explored Bell Island earlier in the season with our son and love it. The Seaquarium is a must-do. It's best to do at Slack Tide...and we failed adhere to that advice...or rather we had thought that it was going to be slack but the current had turned around.
