This video starts off with an update to the current status of our Leopard 45 warranty repairs. We're continuing to work with Leopard Catamarans and look forward to the arrival of a new team who can assist with finishing the rectification and repairs, and bring us closer to finally being back on the water.

As a liveaboard cruiser there are so many skills you can develop to become more self sufficient, including splicing ropes, sewing canvas, servicing your engines, and doing certain repairs. In this episode, I decide to try my hand at gel coat finishing!

While Tynan is relatively proficient at applying gel coat, none of us really know what we're doing when it comes to finishing, so I gave it a go. A positive attitude and good work ethic can get you a long way when it comes to learning new skills!
