Rediviva is a fine lady, her beauty is much deeper than a coat of paint. She will take you where you want to go as her heart is strong. Well done to you both.

Good news, minimal damage, easy repairs, great design ideas with the sheathing.Wonderful listening to the narration as always Ruth, nice and dreamy, best wishes 🙂

Garretts' moment shows exactly what I get. I've watched you guys first build, then learn and now grow into pure moment gatherers. It's my life story that makes it different from the next guys even though we see the same thing. Garretts moment reminded me of sitting in a hospital bed two seconds after saying, "I just had a heart attack". The next word I said isn' t for this comment. But rhymes with duck. The whole of the moment hit and I felt that hit looking at Garrett, looking to the sunset. Beautiful moments can be found in strange places.

That was a fantastic shot of him watching the sunset. I was really surprised at how well the hull looked after all that time.

"She's so happy!" Sail boat wanted to sail! You have a connection to Redeviva Ruth. I'd not realized til I heard you say that. I love this channel. Thank you!

[svinkuk]

i dare say that is a fine vessel indeed, those sacrificial planks were a great idea!

[newfiescreech]

I might never have the skills or patience to maintain a boat like yours, but I shore like the look of 'er!

Kitty-sitting is the BEST way to pay for lodging! 😻

Great Vid, Re worms heat up a piece of copper wire "red hot" and push into holes.😊

Ruth when I was lucky enough to get to hang out with Charlene Swansee Whisnet famous southern poet in the middle 70s when I was in Highschool she said only once "Just don't write anything you couldn't say to someone at a party" it changed my youthful writing style forever and clearly I've never forgotten it. What she meant wasn't about content but style. Authenticity.

[claudehopper]

The boat looked very healthy for all the warm water you've been sailing in, finding a couple worms are no big deal ! good job crew !

[webheadusa]

The primer coat below the red topcoat looked very good. Hope the new topcoat paint sticks as well to the primer as the primer has stuck to the wood. Ruth, your narration is pretty darn good! :¬) Webhead USA

To see the damage worms can do, check out Sailing Yabá some 4 years ago when they started their rebuild due worm damage.... basically had to replace from the water line down... including planking, frames and keel... and then some

Good to see only minimal worming on Retavia.

[ronrancilio]

Viva Rediviva! Ply the waves and embrace the wind in your sails. Say a prayer tonight for tomorrow you are headed to the beauty shop.

[danielchurchill]

Bottom looks way better than I thought it would!

[flightplan]

Good luck, looks like you have some work ahead of you...

[DashterBien]

[thomasjarosz]

Garret, If you Add the Hardering Catalyst to the Paint It will Last Much Longer. Good luck God Bless

[pattin]
