From Florida USA I have to say you are the mut amazing couple in YouTube working on such labor-intensive project with such of positive and fun attitude that is contagious. Every Friday after work I have to grab some beer and I look forward to watching your new video, I love boats and seen a really historic beautiful boat been bring back to her glory is amazing to watch I hope I can watch the full restoration to completion. I pray to God to give you lots of health and strength to let you finish the project so we, all the subscribers and followers can see her back in her glory.

Moving along nicely. I remember, at the beginning, thinking it was going to be forever before you guys got her in ship shape. Even if it's watching the same kind of work over multiple episodes, it never gets boring because every web frame is different from the next one over and you two are entertaining. One of my top favorite channels to watch, and I look forward to each new episode.

[brian.]

you two are a dream to watch, the way you react to each other gets rid of my depression straight away.

[zoharfriberg]

Congratulation on 4 years of success in bringing the ship back to life.

With the storm coming and you were lying safely on the mud, well go back 50 years my mate and I bought a derelict ship's lifeboat to do up, moved on 3 years and we finished it and now we had a dive boat we could stay on, cook on, and was warm out of the rain. Whitby had just built Endeavour Marina and we got a birth on it, in fact we were the second boat on the moorings, off we set down the canal at the back of Leeds City Station, down the canal to Goole locks and out into the Humber, the piles for the Humber Bridge were just coming out of the water, next thing as we trundled along a dense fog bank came rolling up the river, one of the divers from our club had volunteered to come with us and he was driving and he started sailing in all directions until the boat slid onto a mudbank, it was midnight so all we could do was wait until the tide came back, I looked over the side and we were 10 ft above any water sat on a mud bank. Listening to the midnight 33 shipping forecast it was force 8 Humber and we sat there all night and never moved, floated off on the next tide and spent the day in the Fruit dock in HUll then set off again, the next leg to Whitby was even more adventures!

[mikesomerville]

From Kentucky USA I have immensely enjoyed every episode! Your committment to this historical project is inspiring as is your ability to work thru every challenge. I can’t wait for the next episode and the next and the next. Keep up the great work.

[whitcomb]

fantastic job. I am in the boat repair business in the states. Your expertise has come a long ways since you started the project. It's amazing that the hull sheathing is in as good condition as it is. Glad to see that you are keeping the hull wet by not hauling out the boat. I look forward to every episode

[SteveB]

Congratulations on hitting 100k mark. Very well deserved. The work you put into this project is outstanding. It's always a joy to sit back on a Friday evening to follow along with the work you are doing. Fridays would not be the same without your channel.

[HazelAndrewsAcupuncture]

I’ve been here since the beginning. You two are amazing. This is the only channel I have never left!

[eleanorchapple]

I love it every time a new frame goes in. Everything at once looks healthier. When Gemma paints them it’s the icing on the cake!😊🌈

[nicktomlin]

Congratulations on reaching that milestone. Well, you're actually at 105K now, so success breeds success. I remember starting to watch on episode 19, I think. A couple of days to catch up on the previous episodes, and I've never missed one since. It's been a pleasure to watch you two. It's been brilliant. The ups and downs of rebuilding Sarinda have made us one big family, and that has only been possible because of you two. Take great joy in your professionalism, your uniqueness, and the fun you have had along the way. It wouldn't be the same with anyone else, and you definitely will hit 200K in the next 12 months. That's a certainty. I commend you both x

[stevejohnstonbaugh]

I would like to see Simon tear the old wind turbine apart to determine if it is rebuildable. That would be GREAT content because we don't often get a chance to see Simon's mechanical skills.
Likely, new turbine blades are available for the old unit that may reduce vibration substantially.💖

When I were a wee laddie both of my parents worked 3 rotating shifts, so my brother and I had to learn "survival" skills like cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, and dishes, changing light bulbs, lighting the fireplace, and mending the fuses etc, etc. I can even remember often paying the rent when the landlord came around when Mum or Dad were asleep or at work. We were dirt poor but happy, with lots of time outdoors so we wouldn't disturb sleeping parents.
Cheers Eric

I love how they explain things that go awry - I would have kept quiet. The progress from such a small group ( with freinds and family helping) is amazing.

[barrywood]

The strength in what you do is because you bounce of each others eccentricity. The show will go from strength to strength but like my diet will plateau out a few times before it gets going again. Well done on the 100k viewers.

[AndrewJackson-mfqp]

Hi Guy's, I must say that laminating wood is the ducks guts in bending and adding strength. It's been used every where in buildings and products these days to use as much material with less waste I guess. There is no way I could get my wife to play in the mud with me dude, no way. The things you two do to get this ship build done is awesome such as playing in the mud, cleaning the bilge and just getting stuck in to get the job done. You two are an inspiration to anyone who has a project to do. Love been entertained and watching the build progress. Cheers

[ericmartin]

Tip; when drilling overhead use a plastic cup, drill through the bottom and let it catch the swarf from the drill, helps to keep junk out of the bilge. Cheers!

[Joseph-SC-USA]

Congratulations! There are many channels that rebuild boats, but they don't have you two👍
Glad to see you overprepared for the storm.. "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and always be pleasantly surprised."

[gelliott]

Well done guys. You both totally deserve the 100K subscribers plaque. Only recently started watching, 50% for the boat restoration and 50% for the scouse accent. Informative and Entertaining.

[ctbruce]

You’re not just boat restoration, you’re real, sincere, friendly and we feel like we know you. Congratulations!
