The rudder and deck repairs turned out awesome! The deck is looking brand new!

Wow, that was a lot of work so far. It's fun to see the transformation, nice job! Do you know how many hours you have spent on repairs? You will soon enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Those are huge mods Jason. Your craftsmanship is amazing and your work ethic is inspiring. Fair winds and following seas.

"Are you wondering why people are leaving Canada? The answer is often due to financial uncertainty. High taxes, increasing cost of living, and limited job opportunities are driving individuals to seek better financial futures. Investing in your finances through smart planning and diversification can be a powerful way to secure your future."

Owner of a pearson Vanguard 1963. It is a seaworthy brick. Good choice

Goodbye Canada 🇨🇦

You also can't have conversations with anyone without people getting offended and talking behind your back about you.

I thought you were in Mexico was the boat bought in Michigan?

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Interesting take on James’ outboard well. I can imagine the frustration when it wouldn’t fire. Looks like I may have just sold my Triton. I have mixed emotions. Looking forward to the rest of your work. Best Chuck

Hi Jason, that is quite a project you have! I am sure it will very satisfying when all done! I have picked up a Sirius 21 a 1982 jem. It is in very good condition with only a couple spots of dock rash to repair. Looking forward to launch in a few weeks Happy sailing! BB

Thanks Jason! All the best on your travels. As a long time Michigan resident, Traverse City is a nice place to spend some time.

What type of plywood are you using? Marine grade is hard to find here.

I love watching the process, Jason. Pretty cool. Thanks!👍🙂⛵

THANK YOU. I was just asking a buddy about what epoxy and thickener to use in such jobs. But I may not use fast hardening until I get better at doing this.

*hears the way he pronounces “about”* yep this guy knows what he’s talking about

First of all you are completely misinformed: Toronto is not the capital of Canada. You're Canadian and you don't know that? Also, nobody in Vancouver (or Toronto, I'm pretty sure) could find an apartment to rent at $1200 per month last year. More like $1800 for a 500 sq.ft studio, and now $2200 for the same or for a small one bedroom. That's when I turned you off.

Who voted for Trudeau again is what I'm wondering like this guy has been running Canada so long like where are we gonna have the chance to elect him out of office

Where are majority of Canadian leaving to? Is there any such data available?

Hi, what year your crosstrek ? thks

Ottawa is the capital

Whooo-hooo! In the water! Looking forward to the videos. Looks like you are having a good time so far.

Very wonderful, i loved it

Wow, you've got her in the water! Looking forward to your sailing adventures.

I just watched your adventure with Simon in Wales! Great trip!

Hello. Good to hear from ya. You have been busy eh. It will fun to see your upcoming adventures. Do you have a name for your boat ?

awesome

Amazing! Can't wait to see your sailing adventures!

That boat is going to be a bugger to portage in Algonquin. 😁🛶

Can't wait for your next adventure 👍.

Nice to visit again, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

The immigration and the way they are when they move here is putting us Canadians to less speak because they talk their own language not really English.they also seem to buy businesses for a short time an hire their own to work for them and give you less an put the prices up.these things upset Canadians.we real Canadians are getting upset with others that back people immigrated up a words like rasist,toxic narcissistic ext...are coming out more from immigrated that move here and becoming more even with real Canadians aswell more.

Avast! All I ask is you learn to play the recorder or ukulele and sing some pirate shanty songs every once in a while. This next chapter should be fun.

excellent! looking forward to your adventures. 👍🏻

Wow...already in the water and ready to sail. You are a quick worker & very efficient. Looking forward to your next video to see more of the boat. BTW did you ever tell us the name of the boat.

I moved after 40 years in Ontario, as a Canadian senior citizen with Canadian pension, out of Canada 5 years ago. We moved to our home country Croatia to be closer to our family. like in every story there are good and less good issues in this regards. All depends what somebody is expecting and what is important to somebody. I love Canada and it was a hard decision to make. Canada, in spite of all what was mentioned, is still a good country to live in. It is an orderly country where you protected by law and other regulations what maybe not the case in a other country. 1. JOBS: It is difficult to expect to get a job in your profession or a job adequate to your schooling right after graduation. Young people should expect to build the reference for a first few years and than count for a more suitable job. This apply specially to the new immigrants. 2. REAL-ESTATE: It is expensive to buy or rent a property, but this is the law of properties availability and demand. If somebody is preparing to pay so much the owner would be stupid to agree for less. I believe you would do the same. 3. KLIMA: Considering every year more and more hot weather in the World I believe it isn't so bad living in a colder area. Who is talking about loving sunny weather I would like to see them in summer with 40 or more degrees C to work for many days. 4. LANGUAGE: It isn't easy to live in an other country and not knowing the language. 5. FOOD: At least people in Canada do not have to worry that there isn't enough to put on the table. Maybe it isn't the same quality like in SOME other countries, but farmers in Europe are mad because of European strict laws concerning GMO and it is changing, because they could not compete. 6. TAXES, MEDICAL CARE, SCHOOLS: Canada should make some improvements, but all in all isn't so bad. Maybe I am wrong but I believe that Canada is an excellent country to live in. There is plenty of fresh water, food, energy resources. This are becoming more and more big issues all around the World and people should think about their kid's future. Maybe, in spite of my 79 years, I will return back to this wonderful country.

Visit. Don't move. Leave Gianajuanto beautiful! 🎉

I hope you will remember sailing with me in Pike Bay. If you can sail in that bay you will know lots of do’s and don’t of sailing. I wish you all the Best with your project.

nice video what kind of life vest is that looks comfortable

Very informative! What kind of PFD are you using?

excellent!

The important thing here is that if you reverse the directionx then you can have it tighten around the object (tree for example) as you pull on the long part of the rope (not the end). This is useful for may things , including hammocks. And is simpler than wrapping the end of rope around itself and then making a knot to create a loop in the middle of which is the end of the rope and rotating that around the object do that It cinches up on the back isnrtwad of being pulled away from the object and thus creating a distance from the object (where the knot is) which causes it to rotate freely around the object (which is a disadvantage or advantage depending on whether you want the thing to fall down when tension is no longer applied).

The affiliates (schools) are in charge of shipping all the books to you. They receive boxes of books from American Sailing and then ship them to the students. So this is more likely a GoBaja Sailing problem than an American Sailing problem. Now would the affiliates like this done automatically by American Sailing, and would this fix the problems with shipping you had?

I would be more willing to move to Mexico if they had some sort of 2 amendment protections. Really made me cringe how scared you were of a handgun , guess it makes sense coming from Canada .... Me from the USA I wouldnt have been spooked, I would have asked him where I could get one, and not because I'm a criminal but because it's my rights from God to protect myself in the best way possible

Thank you for your help

Lol, don't rock the boat, don't tip the boat over. Just had a mental picture of boats on cradles falling over like dominoes.

So good that you can stand upright. We really appreciated that when we moved up from our Mirage 24 to our Aloha 32.

Excellent choice. Welcome fellow sailor. You bought sight unseen? Wow! You are....well, let's see how it turns out, lol

Good job Jason
