Hi there folks.. Daily vlog 3 is done and it was quite a challange and time consuming to get the repair done on the coach roof side. Thankfully this is now done so we can move on to other things.. Jessi

Hi there guys... Day 2 of my daily vlog. Let me know what you guys think so far. Today i carried on with the coach roof side and also knocked out a few small annoyances that have been pestering me for some time. Jessi

Hi there guys.. Welcome to the 1st daily vlog of June.. i have decided that for this month i will upload my work daily so i can practice new editing techniques and get faster at it. Also it keeps me engaged with the smaller things that need to be done in order to complete the big stuf.. things i almosat always put off for later. Jessi

Hi there guys.. This week has been a mix of rain and small projects aboard Aisling. We deal with the dodgy impeller pump and find some hidden nightmares... also begin the leveling of the floor with teak thickoned epoxy. Winter is fully upon us now so internal projects will have to take precidence over external ones. Have a great week and chat in the comments.. Jessi

Hi there folks. A mixed bag of stanchion feet welding , some impeller work and canvas repair this week. All the sort of small things that get forgotten during any big project. the details. Very likely next week we should have the boat turned around and ill begin with deck finishing . This will of course open us up to work aft this summer and more importantly finish the toe rail. Jessi

Hi there folks.. A longer episode today focusing mostly on stanchion work and on Primer. some gearbox prep and finaly setup for the midships port side cleat. jessi

Hi there guys. So sorry for the lack of content this week... rain has pretty much halted all progress but we have a few days ahead coming and ill be able to make some proper headway soon. Thanks for watching .. Jessi

Hi everyone... hope that you have all had a great week... Its been a busy and productive one here aboard Aisling.. Please enjoy and share ... cheers Jessi

Hi there guys.. Another on / off week with weather but we were able to continue with a few jobs. Mainly the setup of the new frame for the salon hatch. That was quite a big ask in this weather but we managed. Next up will be the glassing of the frame and then the faring / sanding/ painting combo we are all used to ..! Jessi

Hi guys.. So its back to real work "meaning actual work and not planning" and we start off with a freshwater flush of the enmgine and end with the remaining toe rail work. also we get some amazon surprise ! Jessi

Hi there folks.. Another week has gone by with massive storms and heavy winds in the cape and zero boat work.. So here is a day trip we took to cape point This was a good time over the Easter week for me to switch off from boat work fatigue and go exploring with family. Jessi

Hi everyone.. Took some Easter time off and now back to work on the boat. been struggling a lot to get momentum and focus on just one thing as the fire interrupted the projects aboard and now we have several half completed items working their way into my nightmares. Ill take this weerk to reorder my plans and center them around what must be done prior to the rainy season. "which seams to have come early this year." have a great week ..! Jessi

Hi guys.. another sort of simple week of boat work. Made a dent into the cleaning... didnt show or film that. And some more sanding and painting..

Hi there folks. A slow start to the week but some huge progress for me on board. Sanding and priming the seating area and main bulkhead between galley and salon, as well as making a decent start on the nav station area. From here its much of the same however next week we have some deck work to do also! That's weather dependent though as we are starting into the rainy season.

Hi there guys... So we have started making real progress on the interior of the boat after the fire. Less about cleanup now and more about painting and restoring Aisling to something of her former self. Obviously this means that we had to make some concessions and had to remove stuff that before the fire we wanted to keep. But im determined to have the interior better than it was! and maybe a little more 2024 and less 1973 ;-) Jessi Checkout the Full playlist thus far https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdFvkjIOyQwqKW-fp8ADlA6WywYwjIHHK Checkout my Instagram for other updates https://www.instagram.com/jessi_f_lopes/ And join Our Personal boats project on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tideslesstraveled

Hi there folks. Its been a wierd week of seemingly making good progress while also not making any. However i suspect that thats going to be that way for a while, at least untill we hit a few milestones in the recovery and cleanup part of the job. Good news though is i havbe been given a camera and also got the Nikon working so videos can get back on shcedule again. Have a great week ! Jessi

Hi there everyone. So some sad news and the reason why uploads were missed. We got a call last week Tuesday morning at around 2am, and were told to come through to the marina ASAP as our boat caught fire. Obviously this was a shock to us and on arrival nothing could have prepaired us for what we found. I guess that we thaught that maybe a small fire started by some jokers did something on the deck...Perhaps an errant BBQ of an adjacent boat.? Unfortunatly it was not that simjple. Ill try to get into more detail as we uncover this over the next few weeks. As it stands the cause has been identified as an old desk lamp that we keep on inside the boat. this is coupled to shore power. Give us a comment or a like and sub if you can. Jessi

Hi guys.. This week we carry on with Porthole removal and begin on the Aft toerail work. This is the last remaining section before we move on to completing the deck work and starting on stantions. Also coming up next week is the draining on 1 of the deisel tanks. Thans bound to be a messy and grim job but needed.! Jessi

Hi guys. Welcome back for this weeks episode. Its a mixed bag or a buch of work as usual.. long overdue. We started with draining the gearbox and cleaning out the oil. Then i had some car trouble so i have you guys along for that. then back to portholes and the removal of the Oil cooler on the Gearbox. Hope you guys enjoy.

Hi everyone... As the year quickly draws to a close ive pushed super hard to complete the porthole job up front on the starboard side. So we have an extra long episode this week so please watch to the end and leave a like , and definitely comment something for us to chat about. Next week is christmas and also my birthday on the 26th... so i may not put out a video then but letrs see how the week goes. Ive put in hundreds of hours editing and working on the boat this year and hope to have a little time off to spend with my family. Have a great season and ill see you all soon! Jessi

Hi there folks.. Anothyer week and work has progressed slowly with the portholes replacement. I had envisioned being done before the end of the year however its looking likie between finding rotten wood and bad weather, it likely wont happen. But ill push on as always.. ;-) Jessi

Hi guys... This week i make a dent on the Porthole work and started with just one to get the proccess down. It involved because i need to epoxy closed holes , then prime areas on both sides as well as top coat on both sides. with a days wait in between each step for drying time. Not an issue though because we can now move faster with an entire aide at a time. Jessi
