Well done. She is a beautiful boat. A real credit to your hard work and immense skill.
What an effort and Josefine looks absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations.
A picture of beauty leaving the dock, what a satisfying moment for you both in your epic rebuilding. Well done, best wishes for a wonderful journey and life.
Like most of us, I've never done anything particularly original, special or, even less, exceptional in my life... In fact, I'm particularly in awe of people who, at the time, were considered by many to be mad, but who have shown so much courage, resilience and willpower to achieve their dream!
You have my utmost respect and admiration!
Long live Joséphine and her crew!
I was moved to tears when I recently saw the video series “Restoring Josefine”.
I sailed and lived on her for 5 months in 1968. I was passionately in love with her.
I’m thrilled to discover that she is back at sea and with two people so devoted to her renaissance. You may be interested to learn that I wrote about my time with Josefine in a memoir called Tamar at Sea. My book was launched in May 2024, just two weeks before you set sail! Imagine the synchronicity, that all the while I was delving deep into one chapter of Josefine’s history, you were busy uncovering it too!
Hi Tamar, that is fantastic, we would love to make contact and hear more about your experiences. I have sent you our contact details using the 'Contact' function on your Web site. When we bought Josefine, we were in contact with the Danish family that almost certainly owned her when you knew her and we are in touch with the people who bought her after that, in fact we might well be meeting up with them this week! Coincidentally, if we live long enough, we are hoping one day to sail Josefine over to British Colombia! Look forward to hearing from you. Reg
Congratulations guys. It's lovely to see you both with Josefine out on the water. All your hard work has paid off. Enjoy !
Taking on the task of saving Josephine was no light decision, seeing it through to such a successful completion represents a very significant amount of equity in the “you only get out what you put in to life” fund.
You two have earned every single second of joy that Josephine brings.
Well done!
😎👍🍻
You two people are a huge credit to people of our generation, you were handed a poison chalice and through sheer strength of character you tufned that poison into good wine . I get a tear in my eye when I think of the anguish ye must have had to endure . Thank you so much and I hope our paths cross some day .
Thank you John, it's lovely of you to say so, it's really our privilege to be able to share some of these moments and such a pleasure to receive feedback from everyone. Reg

Really enjoyed watching you rebuild josefine,imagine our surprise when we pulled up in Milford haven in our motorhome and you are there moored right in front of us,and she looks even greater is real life,wish you all the very best with your onward travels
Neil+kaye
Hi Neil and Kaye, I think I may have seen your motorhome that evening, we were making last minute plans for our return to Gloucester, you should have come down and had a chat, we are always ‘open house’ and we would have loved to welcome you on Josefine. Anyone who is a subscriber of our CZcams channel is always welcome on board for a natter, cup of coffee and a look inside Josefine. Next time! Thank you for reaching out, new video very soon all about our experience in Milford Haven. Sorry for delay in replying (I am so far behind with correspondence) we had a an endless list of equipment failures to deal with in the last few days before departure, that consumed our attention! Cheers, Reg and Randie.
Aw thank you reg and Randie,now you have invited us ,we will come and meet you next time,would love to have a walk about josefine
Best of luck with your adventure
Stay safe

Holy Mackerel. I was wondering where you were. Glad to see you are underway.
All worth it in the end what a journey 👍
that's a terrific accomplishment
A jack of all trades AND a talented Calligrapher. Why is that not a surprise? A huge job was done to high standards by the entire crew.
Ventos justos e mar calmo ⛵
Bob & 'Pirata'
Im so glad you have achieved ❤❤
Reg, what a sight, so happy for you both. Looking forwards to seeing her under sail. Pleased to see you recovered from the scare in the engine room, get those bearings fixed so you won’t loose more sleep. Yep, you’re right, it’s all worth it, the filth, sweat, tears, but also the learning new skills, the research of how to tie knots, plane wood, shape metal, pity youth is wasted on the young. Looking forward to your journeys abroad, and if you ever get to Sydney Australia, I’d love to meet you both.
well done. its great to see you both enjoying the trip. best regards.
Awesome !!!! Sooo pleased for you both :) Hope you enjoyed that wine - you certainly deserve it.
Kind regards, John.

You have done such an incredible job. I have followed your project almost from the start. I am so amazed and so impressed with what you achieved. I suppose what your showing us now is what you envisaged when buying Josefine. You deserve it, you more than deserve Josefine and Josefine more than deserves you.....marvelous !
