Nice to see you've now got all your... docks... in a row. I'll see myself out.

' Beryl' is devestating some windward island . You went just in time. 🙏

We are right next door at Ocean Club doing boat work (lithium/solar/split-phase Quattros/ butane oven & stovetop conversion. Great video, neighbors! We owe you big time! (We bought a FP Saba 50 last month)

I’d suggest using Dow 795 instead of silicone around your windows. It’s structural sealant for glazing skyscraper windows. I cannot say enough good things about the sealant. I have the same issue with our Catalina 30 port lights and this is the recommended repair from the factory. Has worked terrific on our boat.

Welcome to Florida! June to September is like hell's waiting area but October to May is heaven. Not owning a snow shovel makes it all worth it.
-
I knew that there would come a time where Athena doesn't have any space left for new gadgets, and that Mads would find a solution to that problem!
-
Once you're a member of ONE yacht club - you often get guest privileges to almost all other yacht clubs - always worth asking in a new area.
-
Welcome to Florida! If you find yourselves up in St Augustine I help run the local cruisers net and would be happy to play your guide for a day!

Florida looks very nice and how exciting to see a rocket launch on your first night. Mads, I can't believe you are looking for "more work" with a new project boat. I think, and so many other viewers will agree, you have a very nice well biult yacht now so why would you want to start again with more Oh glorious sanding, as you put it. Cheers Ian

Ahhh, home, sweet home! I grew up in Brevard County in the '60s. My Dad and many of my friends found employment at the Cape. You are indeed fortunate to witness a launch right away! In my day it was the Saturn V everyone was in awe over and it could be seen day or night from Orlando, Daytona, and Palm Beach! It is good to see it again. If your project boat falls through, I can give you a lead on a Macgregor 65 in South Florida that has to be fairly inexpensive since it partially sank in a marina down there a number of years ago in high winds. The last picture I saw of it, it was raised and moved to a home on a canal. But I believe the owner might live in Bellingham, WA, as that was the address listed.

Awsome! Can't wait to see the project boat

welcome to America. I grew up in Florida and sailed all over. Anxious to here about the project boat, and upcoming plans. You sped through the Bahamas in your videos, that was disappointing as wanted to see you both scuba dive much more in those beautiful islands. If a hurricane threatens that area, advice is to take your boat up into the flats, estuaries, away from docks and other boats. I went through two cat 4 hurricanes on a 44 foot boat with two anchors out and motor running in stand by during the worse. Yes lots of wind noise and all, but just a few hours and its over. Keep way to much chain out on both anchors. And most important, always keep a window cracked downwind so to relieve any suction build up. Take care and enjoy the area.

What a great looking place to stay! Lucky you getting in there!

If you are going to dock Athena in central florida for an extended period of time, you should have a very specific plan in case of hurricanes or tropical storms. If you leave Athena roped to the dock in a bad storm, you will likely destroy the dock and that is usually on your dime. You might want to talk to some local Florida old timers for advice.

Great video . Looking forward for DIY projects
-
You can always go North, like New York or Maine. No hurricanes there and it's beautiful.
-
Thanks!
-
Looking forward to seeing the new boat next week!
-
Great video, you guy never disappoint!!!

Tradition, which you may already know: If you visit another YC and they give you reciprocity, you give that club's bar one of your YC's burgees, for their collection. So you might want to stock up on.
