The link doesn’t work or the website was taken down for sounding like a scam. Lol if u could afford a $50 million painting why sell shares in it? Doesn’t that take away from the owner’s appreciation value if u are selling off shares? I collect designer purses. Anyone want to buy shares in a Burkin that u can’t see IRL or in your home EVER, use or possess? See how fast this gets deleted. Sorry, just thought it was a humorous concept but obviously a new type of investment I just never heard of. Good luck to all on owning a Masterpiece, or at least a very tiny part of it, like one wonky eye of a Picasso.The point is, I did try to go check out the website. So Dave, your sponsor did get a click or would have if the link worked.

Hope ya'll are getting closer to Casting the lines off. And sailing the world. The water line will come down. Once you get all your stuff on bord. In may drop 3 to 4 inches. It is always nice to have a bit more bottom paint above the water than not enough. Wow! So nice to see ya'll on the water. Is all the interior done yet? Or are ya'll still working on that? And I hope ya'll have video of that work? And as far as the fiberglass dust goes, I bet it may take years to get it all out. That stuff gets everywhere. Ok Thank ya'll for a Great video! I need some fun time with all that has happened lately. This morning I help put some stuff on a boat out of Kona for the people in Maui. I don't know if you have seen the Devastation there. The Entire Town is gone. Over 4000 families lost every thing. There are over a 1000 people messing. They believe half are children. The fire was so hot that they may never find all the dead. So if you could Pray for the people of Lahaina! They need all the help they can get. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! 🌋🥂🍹

Man, it’s great to see you sailing that boat after all the years it’s taken you to get here! Love your videos. And somehow, you even made an add worth watching? Keep it up David. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

*Yay your first sail , with the wonderful help from Colin, Jamie and crew of Parlay plus also Mike setting up all the rigging. Mary, I do worry about David going out with you & the kids on board all alone... But Mary please make sure all the radios are turned ON to all the different stations to seek help if needed.... and that every one is wearing life-jackets (and I stress this for the kids)... oh and take a few deep breathes in and breathe out slowly, when you think things are not quite right... then stop and think what Colin & Jamie told you to do... do it slow until it becomes second nature... Yell at David to STOP & LISTEN if needed. Good luck sailing to where ever you are going to sail too and please be safe. NZ*

So jealous! Congrats, you are officially a sailor!

You did it. David, there are boating lessons by experts there. Take advantage when Colin and Jamie leave. It will be worth paying for an experienced Captain to go through the basics. Read books on anchoring ⚓️ too. Navigation too. There are hundreds; but ask Colin for recommendations.

Great time to learn. Which ocourse you already did. But safety first, second and third esoecially for your family. It takes quite sometime. Do short easy cruises navigation before venturing to more risky courses/headings. Mucha suerte amigo.
