ALL these years of watching you take Athina from where she was to now, I have NEVER seen you have that glow and OBVIOUS look of happiness and pride! Having Eva aboard and team up with you now makes SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE and you can SEE IT! I'm so excited for you two and happy to see Eva finally become part of the full-time TEAM! WELCOME EVA!!!! Cheers form Mexico
6:27 Eva"I'm using a bucket of water and, what i'm assuming, is the Danish Version of Pinesol." 90% of Europeans watching this: "What the hell is Pinesol?"
Pinesol is what peasants use to clean just about everything in the US. I think it was originally intended for mopping floors. I knew a guy who swore that it was the best ultrasonic cleaner solution for carburetors. I have my doubts tho.
Mads you have met your match, Ava we are glad to see you be a force to help Mads and yourself finish an engineering project. As an engineer myself, my projects never end!
I've been watching since the beginning...never commented. I didn't think I was going to like Ava on the channel. I was wrong... She's a perfect addition...love her ❤ Easy on the eyes too!
Mads, Ava brings out a wonderful freshness in you! Ava, a man will make far more dust than you can ever keep up with! I am looking forward to many more videos with you two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My day started with Copa America, then Ind vs ENG women's T20 cricket match, then Wimbledon finals, awaiting start of euro 2021 Italy Vs Eng , SAIL life drops an episode. EPIC weekend. Thanks guys cheers later.
Absolutely nice seeing Ava together in this project doing great work and demonstrating focus and dedication to accomplish their goals. Congratulations for the beautiful couple wishing all the best for conclusion os this amazing project.
So happy for you two, I was smiling constantly while watching this. Solar panels look big, having one set stacked for storage was a good idea. Who said cleaning a boat is a never ending task! Great video.
🥰So happy right now. Mads, I was worried. For the last two years, you have been my every Sunday. You are charming, cute and funny on top of excellent at explaining diy projects that are interesting. The worry was...was Ava going to be your opposite? Evidently, "no," is the answer to that question. in fact I love her. She is every bit what is good about you in a daintier package. Love you as a team. You will be so good for each other. It is clear that one of you is the sail and the other the wind. Meant for each other❣️ Thank you to you both for sharing your journey.
A tiny shop vac makes a good housekeeping vacuum on the boat, and can deal with any wetness too, for sucking water out of bilges and other compartments. If it has a blow port as well as a vacuum port this works REALLY well for inflating a dinghy. When we had an inflatable our tiny wet-vac would fill each air cavity before you could say "Spiffy" three times. I am super glad that Ava now knows how to pronounce her future husband's name properly. "Mess" After cleaning up.the dustbowl that is Athena I bet she will never forget that he is a "Mess." No more sawing inside the boat Mads. :D
Mads you're an animal, taking on all that work day after day a lessor man would have given up long ago. Great to see Ava back on board it's like watching whole new show. Can't wait for the sailing vids to start so we can see the result of all your hard work. "A gentleman never beats to windward." Safe travels and God bless!
Tip for the bed: add a mattress topper! After 2 years sailing in the Caribbean with 2 times crossing the Atlantic Ocean, we were so happy to be sweating just in the mattress toppers. At the bigger laundry service you will be able to wash the cover and we even washed the foam in Bonaire. And your own mattress will stay clean.you could even put some extra mesh between the topper and the mattress for extra ventilation. And yeah, you guys rock! So good to see you together!
Don't usually comment but I want Ava to know that I am very much enjoying her addition to the channel. I have always enjoyed each week and always wondered what it would be like once she joined and I am just "tickled" to see how smoothly she "makes it even better"! Just wonderful - can't wait to watch you two put this beautiful boat to use!
Great to see Ava back. Love the chemistry between you two. You guys are inspiring me to complete my 2.5yr restore of a 31yr old Beni 32ft Oceanis. Love the Arch.
Heaven is clearly missing an Angel!! 👼 Congratulations you two love birds!! More excited than ever for more DIY fun aboard Good Ol’ Athena!! HUZZAH!! 🙌🏻
Hi, WHEN THE SAW IS RELAGATED TO THE OUT SIDE , WOW , the management has come aboard , shape up and fit the soft furnishings . Glad to see your both making head way to the finish line .
Really happy about how Ava has fit into the videos and that you two are working as a great team to present the information. Keep up the good work as a "couples sailing" channel!
Must be the cement guys. Years ago the Danish army got new vehicles, and the old ones was sold for almost nothing, on auctions around the country. They are veteran vehicles, which means they carry a black license plate and cost next to nothing in vehicle taxes. Not sure how it works with the new rules, but it used to be like that. And all those old Mercedes, from jeeps to trucks are pretty cool looking with the camo paint.
Guys, with Eva joining, the Chanel is even better now. I have watched all the episodes for years now, and I cannot wait for Sunday to watch them. I only hope you post more often and longer episodes. I enjoy them so much.
How could anyone dislike this video? The only downside is, it ended too soon. Been watching since day one, by far one of the best sailing channels to follow.
Mads, you are one fortunate dude! The lady works as hard as you do, seems great in the face of dust adversity, and her smile seems, well, pretty dang spiffy!
It’s amazing how that small boat can hold two machines, a washer and a dryer plus 5,000 gallons of water, two people, solar panels and a dingy… you guys are doing a great job with that boat. Not to shabby! Or in your word spiffy… P.S, Remember Ava, gentle….😂🤣🤦🏽♂️
With help like Ava, you coulda been done two years ago. Just sayin'. Ava's infectious good attitude and "git 'er done" personality is awesome. You did good Mads. Great to watch you BOTH of you go to town.
Congrats Mads & Ava on your successeful work this past week. With two of you working together so well, I'm sure we'll see task skickey notes moving along at a frantic pace!
I've been following your videos for a long time and I absolutely love them. Me and girlfriend are in the process of buying a 45-50ft sailboat and I have always tried to moke up the best solar arch and I have to say that this is the best one yet. Your videos are easy going and your Inside jokes make me laugh. Good job and keep the great videos coming.
These videos are definitely improving. Ava being around adds a different flavor and I like it very much. Seems you guys are enjoying every single moment :) Hope to see you sailing soon. Cheers from Portugal
What a lovely charming person Ava is. You two are so both engaging and it's a pleasure to watch you work together. Love the woman's perspective of cleaning the dust...That was my job when my husband and I had a motor boat called Athina ! He would make lots of dust and mess and I would clean it up after ! Good times !
Mads...Ava has moved seamlessly into the episodes. She's a natural and do I detect, a sense of humour as well. The video entertainment has moved up a notch 📹😀👍
Loved it absolutely loved it, me and my wife also work together on our boat and I've also worked alone many days so when she comes things always get sooooo much better, Mads your face driving the car is pure joy and it was nice to see some 'outside footage' thank you both so much
There used to be nothing like Mads in the afternoon. Now there is nothing like Ava and Mads in the afternoon. Things are going to go much faster now that there is a lovely epoxy mixer supplying epoxy on demand and keeping Athena spiffy. Take care you two.
Welcome Eva! We could see she already has quite a good feel of the boat building! Quite a good addition to the crew...! Well done SAIL LIFE.... as usual pretty dang spiffy! PS...dont remove the CLEANING yellow tag just yet...I am sure there will be quite a lot more to come...Lol!
ALL these years of watching you take Athina from where she was to now, I have NEVER seen you have that glow and OBVIOUS look of happiness and pride! Having Eva aboard and team up with you now makes SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE and you can SEE IT! I'm so excited for you two and happy to see Eva finally become part of the full-time TEAM! WELCOME EVA!!!!

Most beautiful comment 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
@@donnakawana that's so sweet. Thank you. When it comes from the heart, it just flows like our two superstars there. What a beautiful team they make!
👍, to see Madd 😊 (smile & glow) is a rare thing
Agree entirely!
Great video. Mads grinning like a Cheshire Cat for 17 minutes. The “Ava Effect”.
#AvaEffect
It is so nice to see Mads so obviously happy.
6:27 Eva"I'm using a bucket of water and, what i'm assuming, is the Danish Version of Pinesol."
90% of Europeans watching this: "What the hell is Pinesol?"
Exactly! :D
Haemorrhoid cream😳
Pinesol is what peasants use to clean just about everything in the US. I think it was originally intended for mopping floors. I knew a guy who swore that it was the best ultrasonic cleaner solution for carburetors. I have my doubts tho.
@@codylapoint "thats the power of pinesol baby"
in the uk we use flash.possibly the same thing.
Ava really adds a lot of new energy, nice addition
Ava and Mads really do seem like a really good match in both a personal and professional manner.
Mads you have met your match, Ava we are glad to see you be a force to help Mads and yourself finish an engineering project. As an engineer myself, my projects never end!
Ava is a great addition to your videos. She looks very comfortable in front of the camera. Great job to both of you.
Truly enjoy see Ava on board. I like her personal approach, and I think the two of you really compliment each other.
Ava is one pretty dang spiffy addition to Athena. Good to see you two together at last!
Beach cows are my favorite type of cows.
I have to say the transition to Ava being in the videos feels seamless, it feels like she belongs here.
You two seem to make a great team!
Been a fan of your channel for a while now and your lovely new crew member has made it even more enjoyable.
Cracks me up that Ava had her own coveralls from the get go. lol
HAHAHAHAHA I noticed that too...LMAO
She’s not messing around! Go Ava!
The Ava Effect!
My husband said the same thing :) #avaeffect
Ava, love hearing you call him your “husband to be”.
Wow! What a change in atmosphere, Sail Life was missing Ava, she adds a whole new smile to the rebuild.
I've been watching since the beginning...never commented.
I didn't think I was going to like Ava on the channel.
I was wrong...
She's a perfect addition...love her ❤
Easy on the eyes too!
Mads, Ava brings out a wonderful freshness in you! Ava, a man will make far more dust than you can ever keep up with! I am looking forward to many more videos with you two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ava is a great addition to the Athena crew!
Mads + Ava adds up to way more than two. It's something intangible, or maybe it's that we're FINALLY seeing the Danish landscape. ❤️
Its nice to see the team back together...does not matter what you are doing next week..we will all be waiting Sunday morning for it...John
Ava is wonderful addition to the "crew" She certainly jumps in to help. Your a lucky man. Hopes she adapts to sailing offshore.
Ava showing up and the arch going up... it really does feel like you're in the homestretch, Mads. This was a nice video.
Having Ava on the video is great. Good progress guys. See you!
"A clean boat and epoxy on demand, life is pretty sweet." Too funny! I think he left out the sweetest part! :-)
Yes! there's certainly a glint in his eyes that was not there before ......... what a cracking couple and it's lovely to see you both so happy!
You both look very happy and now that there are two of you are getting on a treat with the jobs.
Oh glorious dusting! ;-)
i prefer sanding ;)
Glorious purpose!
I must say I really am impressed with your work ethic. You are taking your time and making sure the finished product will last. It’s quite remarkable.
So happy for you two, I was smiling constantly while watching this. Solar panels look big, having one set stacked for storage was a good idea. Who said cleaning a boat is a never ending task! Great video.
Ava is going to push the subscribers count over the 100k mark. 👍👍👍
Well Madds finally got some real muscle on the boat now and what a friend Martin is.

"Mess"
After cleaning up.the dustbowl that is Athena I bet she will never forget that he is a "Mess."
No more sawing inside the boat Mads.
:D
I love the way Ava cleaned the entire V berth, and the next thing, Mads goes and drills some holes with shavings dropping on the floor... brave man.
Mads you're an animal, taking on all that work day after day a lessor man would have given up long ago. Great to see Ava back on board it's like watching whole new show. Can't wait for the sailing vids to start so we can see the result of all your hard work. "A gentleman never beats to windward." Safe travels and God bless!
Ava is looking mighty spiffy…and Mads is looking mighty happy. 😂😂👍👍
... so good to see Ava back on Athena ...

I wasn't sure about adding Ava to my favorite channel, but she is a pleasant addition. Good job on the video!
Nice to see how quickly Ava has adapted to being in front of the camera. For sure it wasn't easy to jump in like that, but she seems a natural.
Ava's willing to clean up dust for hours at a time... a keeper! I love the arch and am stealing the sliding panel idea!
Great to see Ava back. Love the chemistry between you two. You guys are inspiring me to complete my 2.5yr restore of a 31yr old Beni 32ft Oceanis. Love the Arch.
Love the new energy that Ava brought to the videos!
Holy crap, I wasn't sure how that arch and pulpit were going to look, but man they look great. It's all coming together, keep up the great work.
Best solar setup ever. The pinnacle of spiffyness
How nice. It had me smiling for 17 minutes, too. I loved the sightseeing.
Nice to have Ava join the crew
I love the new vibe on the channel. Ava is a great addition.
Heaven is clearly missing an Angel!! 👼 Congratulations you two love birds!! More excited than ever for more DIY fun aboard Good Ol’ Athena!! HUZZAH!! 🙌🏻

Yea Ava! She’ll wonderful. Looking forward to you guys sailing a bit. But we all know the projects will never end.
Really happy about how Ava has fit into the videos and that you two are working as a great team to present the information. Keep up the good work as a "couples sailing" channel!
Loved your videos from before, and even more now after Eva entered! Such a lovely addition, you two are great!
It’s so nice seeing you guys working together. Love Mondays
Sure like the interaction between the both of you. Ava is an enrichment to the Sail Life Vlog !
Loved the video. Ava looks great, and she isn't affraid of digging in to help. Quite a lady! Good luck to both of you.
I followed you about five to ten years ago. Glad you have a friend to help. Best wishes.
Heck with the solar panels I want to know about the Uni Mog sitting outside the shops doors!
… and that beautiful Suzuki. :-)
Must be the cement guys. Years ago the Danish army got new vehicles, and the old ones was sold for almost nothing, on auctions around the country. They are veteran vehicles, which means they carry a black license plate and cost next to nothing in vehicle taxes. Not sure how it works with the new rules, but it used to be like that. And all those old Mercedes, from jeeps to trucks are pretty cool looking with the camo paint.
Wait! There was a unimog sitting in front of the shop? Now I have to rematch the video.
Agreed! 😂
The show has improved a lot, thanks Ava!
Ava you've taken to it like duck to water. With Mads encouragement and support your going to be a natural well done.
Guys, with Eva joining, the Chanel is even better now.
I have watched all the episodes for years now, and I cannot wait for Sunday to watch them. I only hope you post more often and longer episodes.
I enjoy them so much.
Love 'em, too. Maybe not more often. Don't want any burned out YT'Rs.
How could anyone dislike this video? The only downside is, it ended too soon. Been watching since day one, by far one of the best sailing channels to follow.
Ava is a great addition!! Mad's you won the lottery! Don't blow it. 😉

Pumping up that dinghy definitely looks like a workout

Wow, what a dynamo you have in your corner now! I am no longer worried about your sailing date. Power duo no doubt!!! You two are gonna kick ass.
I love Ava, two is better then one. I have followed you from the start. Good to see it finally all come together. Bless you both.
What a lovely charming person Ava is. You two are so both engaging and it's a pleasure to watch you work together. Love the woman's perspective of cleaning the dust...That was my job when my husband and I had a motor boat called Athina ! He would make lots of dust and mess and I would clean it up after !

Detoured to Skive for a meal and a look at Athena. Got a pic of the arch and the pencil resting aft in the cockpit ;-)

Quite a good addition to the crew...!
Well done SAIL LIFE.... as usual pretty dang spiffy!
PS...dont remove the CLEANING yellow tag just yet...I am sure there will be quite a lot more to come...Lol!
She's coming along nicely Looks great guys
Cracking stuff you two. Oh glorious cleaning? Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
Bananas for scale.
Glad to see you both so clearly happy.
Nice rear spoiler! Glad to see Ava aboard.
Happiness in the world just went a few ticks up. For both of you a lot and a bit for all of us viewers :)
So good to see you two together!
It must be so much fun for Ava. I’m just a little jealous.
Ava I am so impressed. I didn't know what to expect from you moving aboard , Your Fantastic!!!!! best wishes-s
Eva gives more dynamism to these videos, that now are even better!!
Awesome video you 2 are naturals at this 😀
10:56 Ava: "There's the snack shop Max never lets us go to."
Mads, care to comment?
@Ross Radford i agree hope we can find out
Looks like Mads is dieting again
The only Warrior 38 with a rear wing that would rival any formula 1 car. And welcome to the lovely Ava
Love the way Ava jumps in feet first and goes straight to work with a smile on her face... She's a keeper.
ava is a nice addition. so happy for you both
Ava is a great addition you two make a great team!
