I don't see any boat being totally destroyed in this video. Not one. You need to seek out some language skills. Alternatively, you could seek out a language that suits your special needs.

God bless his heart, Robbo is ALWAYS there. Way to step up man.

[buffplums]

On the end of that chain is a big massive bath plug!!

[slawimenet]

Kids... you two, definitely, have much more fun together than its legally allowed!.... Good people = great project?==== great outcome... greetings from Pensacola, FL, US

[markjohnson-brown]

Have to say you guys are amazing. Never fail to impress me with your positivity and work ethic

[JoeTheLion]

The Jemma shelf is a work of genius - always impressed at your design skills

[FastHatTrick]

God knows how or why, but I just grin ear to ear watching this channel the entire time. It’s a gift, so thank you. This episode was very satisfying seeing the whole side opened up and ready for work. Cheers!

[roaxth]

Hi, nice episode. What I like to point out is the support by Robbo.
Robbo, you are a great supporter of this project.

[davesmith]

As a cockney geezer with a cockney accent I have to say I love listening to your accents. Great!

[vadmal]

Not far away, and you have done 25% of what you planned.
I like to call that progress!
With some more of Simon's inventions and you might come ahead of plans.
Well done so far!

[MrMattDat]

Wonderful job! Simon, your portable bench for Jemma is EXACTLY what I was thinking (based on a flip-out work platform I purchased to stand more comfortably on my ladder!). Love to see you guys (and Robbo!) work at it!

[Dave-dm]

Hoarding stuff like the chain (and wood off cuts) makes excellent sense. So called “scraps” of marine ply can seriously mount up when you have to chop into new boards.

[mundanestuff]

That portable shelf is one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. As an engineer, it made my eyes widen and pulse quicken with excitement. Well done.

Hello Ship Happens crew. I am binge watching this amazing story and can't put it down. Several episodes and more per day to catch up. Thanks for all your hard production work and sharing so much of the boat, build and yourselves. I'm way behind I know but just had a thought (someone probably said this months if not a year or more ago, but it has me commenting which helps the channel), the chain you found may be there also as ballast. Anyway you probably have worked that out by now. Keep up the good work you are so motivating and I find my own projects are getting done quicker now too.

[normanmerrill]

You unquestionably deserve the “DETERMINATION AWARD of the YEAR “…it is remarkable how you have kept your spirit and optimism running full speed ahead…well done …stay safe…

[peterwall]

A couple of channels really make me happy and yours is one of them please keep going your enthusiasm spoils me 😎👍👍👍❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[kroneditor]

You guys have my utmost respect and admiration for your work ethic. The boat is looking so much better now and there is a real tangible stage in sight where she will be motoring again. All I can say is well done and best wishes for the coming months.

[pupdowg]

Instead of on the busses, you can call this on the boatses. Ohhh Blackie, I got you this time.

[merlindsbest]

Oh yeah. Nearly done with the bow. Can't wait to see yall give her a new deck!

[ablemarine]

Every video I see of you and your boat are inspiring! Living your Dream is Awesome. Just thought to say Hello and each time you are just chugging along Eating the Elephant 🐘 One Bite At A Time! YUM. Be Always Blessed and Enjoy living your Dream! Nice to see the progress
