A refrigerator and a freezer are really nice to have on a boat. Yes, you two do make a great team. 👍👍 Ben, please, please, please use some safety devices while using a table saw. You scared the begeebers out of me. Short story; Back when I was in shop class in my first year of high school (fall 1978 😭), there was someone I’ll call Charles. He was part of the tough crowd, and could always be found holding court out on the smoking patio at school, when not in class. He was in my shop classes that semester. On this particular day he was using a table saw. I will NEVER forget that day. Running across the shop, screaming, and a rag wrapped around his hand with blood everywhere. He was back in class the next week. 1 reattached finger, and 2 missing tips. He was a completely changed man. Those images are forever burned into my memory.

yep i have to say, i always wince at others using circular saws, especially when its really boring to watch and you tubers think its entertaining to speed that footage up, i have to skip it, safety dudes, its the law, do not skip anything, things bite and bite hard - i am usually very savvy at these things, but having told myself to check a set of steps before climbing, grabbed a box, used the steps, and then used them another three times, before they collapsed, i was only on the third step, as they collapsed the back side was against the wall, the front that i was standing on pushed my legs forward from under me and i landed on my back, i laid there in agony before getting myself out of the situation, i got to hospital and later was diagnosed with a fracture to my T12, yep a broken back and two years on much better, but have problems still, safety, if you think, don't skip it, DO IT

Great to see Yaba sitting so majestically on the water.... long may the fun continue.

hey Ben, consider supporting your round diesel tanks the same way they do on heavy trucks. you could use flat stainless steel strips to make U-shaped bands to hang the tanks from the ceiling. Your wood supports would still help secure the tanks, but bands would stop pressure points onto those tanks.

As others said, you don't know how to use a table saw. Never, never, never put your fingers near that blade. Use hold down feather sticks and side sticks and a push rod block.

WOOOHOOOOOOO! ITS SUNDAY! Hold up, Pause..... coffee is required for this! :D Tips for fishing, bait the water with food scraps..... wait for a bit then start fishing ^^ one of the million and one tips :D Also PLEASE use a pushing rod when using the table-saw! ESPECIALLY when in the middle of nowhere with no doctors or hospitals...... emergency cauterization of a lost vinger SUCKS!

Using a table-saw on the "floor" of the rolling back deck of a boat without any eye protection or push sticks to keep your hands away from the blade is a CERTAIN invitation to getting hurt, not to mention getting blood all over your swim deck.

Grinding away for over three years, practically nonstop. really says something about you too. and the fruits of your labor are very sweet and delicious. Enjoy the decompression from all your hard work. MP and Ben, have you plotted your dream course and if so, can you share just a little bit keep on keeping on and soak all of it up❤😊

Would like to see the set up and rigging of the sails. How many sails do you plan to carry? How will you manage them short handed? What is the light wind sail (s) plan? You get the idea. Cheers. Jim

I dont have to mention the saw as everyone else has, but its wonderful to see Yaba in her natural environment!

Always, always use something to push wood through the table saw. One unexpected move of the boat and you could loose a hand or injure it so bad that you will not be sailing for a year or more. Is it worth it?

I can't watch you pushing the wood on the table saw...if the wood flies out , your hands are over the blade..table saws are one of the most dangerous tools.. always use posh sticks

Even though Yaba is out of the shipyard the work will always be your companion. You are at least doing the smaller finishing touches and they are quite rewarding. When you get your sails your life will be much more interesting and your scenery will change continuously. I wish you the best of times on Yaba. You have earned it. Best Regards, Your pal Al

Love your show! Am always disappointed when it ends. See you Sunday.

MP totally rockin’ the electric skills! You are taking care of business! ❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎

Ben, that is one of the most dangerous ways to work with a table saw, one slip and your sailing days could be over

Fabulous as ever and you actually got more done than I thought. Let's hope the rain stays away for you and please let's have more of MP's now-infamous job boards to keep Ben on his toes =)

Fit a sheet of plywood on the inside of the diesel tank support struts. Put some strong polythene bags under the tank and fill them with expanding foam similar to your dinghy. The foam will expand to fit the tank exactly and transfer the weight to the hull. 100 gallons of diesel weighs 880 pounds ,so good support is essential. The full support will also stop the tank distorting under the weight Been a subscriber since day and i am really proud of the work you both have done plus all your crew! Yaba looks beautiful afloat, where she belongs.Alan here in the UK.

So good to see that you not just work. Enjoy the fun time, you deserve it after the last 3 ½ years hard work!! 😂❤🎉

One last thing as I have built 3 tour buses, same principles, you may want to consider installing a Macerator Pump for your Black Tank....it basically chops up all your sewage very fine and results in a lot less plumbing issues ie with blockages etc. If you use a macerator your outlet house is either 1.5" I believe meaning it coils up easier and takes a lot less room then them other big discharge hoses.. If you have the money you have the room to install a sewage treatment unit for Yaba, or one of those toilets that destroys the waste electrically, they have come along way....also if you can't afford a water maker make sure you carry at least 120 gallons of fresh water ie 2 x 60 gallon plastic tanks....and you may want to install a day tank for your petro....just some thoughts...just trying to help you out in some small way...much love from Canada!!!!

You'll be Captain Hook before long because I cut my thumb halfway off doing the same thing you were doing on the table saw. Do be careful !

After reading some of the comments I think safety around the tools is a big thing now that you guys are afloat. Tbh I cant wait to see you both sailing the globe and not stuck finishing Yabá the next year or so. After all the work use have done you both deserve to just live and be happy sailing Yabá 🙏🏾

It won't be long till you can make an all play and no work video , then we can all relax a bit with you. Fish will come to you when you learn to think like a fish. Good luck ❤❤

You guys do make a great team! Love it when MP breaks out her tools. She has the confidence now to take care of business and that makes me smile.

At last . Its not all about hard work .. Well done !

Highly recommend that you spend the money on getting waterproof, battery powered buffer to scrub the bottom of your boat. They are definitely a time saver and highly effective in removing all kinds of growth. This is something you will need to perform before getting underway after being anchored/moored or docked to reduce drag and improve speed & fuel economy. Also, supplied air to a regulator so that you can work effortlessly whilst cleaning the bottom or doing other work on the submerged portion of your boat. It will also be useful for recovering things in shallow waters. The boat is really starting to look like a yacht and less than a skow. Your efforts will make all the difference in comfort and safety for you and yours.

I would love to see both of you enjoying your new life and go have an awesome adventure together.😊😊❤❤

It's great to see you able to relax a bit now. Still getting things done and enjoying your new home. Congratulations on the fridge and freezer you can now do things as needed. Keep well and safe. James.

You lucky Bastards 😊so jealous of you two! I truly hope you have a wonderful time together with Yaba and the adventures you have planned together 🥰🫵😉

Just a note from an old woodworker "Safety". I have put my thumb in a table saw, many stitches, and rehab. I agree use a push stick. You can't stop a running saw blade with your hand.

YABA looks beautiful in the water. Groovy episode.

It was a good idea save the old dingy since it has a large hard bottom. Perfect for bringing large supplies safely a board. 😊

For cleaning the hull in the water the sucking handles are very useful. They are cheap and you have more force while scrubbing.

Ben caught a fish 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎆🎆🎇🎇🎆🎆🎇 Remove that from the job list and get back to working on Yabá. He only get's to catch the one fish EVER.🤣🤣 Great update 2x👍

Maybe next time you paint the boat at the water line you could ceramic coat it. It would make cleaning easier or maybe a clear vinyl protective vinyl. That would work also

MP & Ben! I've followed you two from the time you bought the boat, it has been my recovery during my three year of sickness with my coloncancer and other misshaps related to the surgical procedures and treatment it come with. I finally got my gastric bypass and took x-rays last week and the head nurse said my pictures looks good, so I still has to wait for the "words" that says " yes or no!" If I was or would be younger like you, two, I would have done the same, but i'm 62yrs old this summer and i'm longing for my family in Thailand after covid and my bodys recovery... It has been three looong years!

It is good to see you enjoying some of what you worked so hard to achieve. The world for the SEA is truly a pleasure. ENJOY!

Bom dia MP, Ben e toda a tripulação.😀😀😀

Amazing amount of room on the back deck and even more in the engine room. It’s quite a treat watching the mains powered tools working of the solar array. I’d like to see how you have finished off the cabins and the saloon next to the kitchen. How long before the sails go up?

I like 👍🏼 ❤ how you guys put on the board catch a fish 🐟 ❤😅

You made big old square 📦 around water tanks if you make bases with a concave to shape all you need to do is saddle from bottom to deck with strapping the way you made it takes up way more space

Make the thin strips of wood into book marks. Get a branding iron with Yaba on it for stamping them. Looking great. Careful with the fish barbs.

Gday Ben & MP. If you want to catch fish ,you need fresh local bait ,or what the fish eat ,a dark moon is good too, also use light tackel . YABA is looking good . Respect.....!

Hola amigos, When cleaning the hull, get 2 glazier suction cups. They stick onto to hull and give you something to hang onto. Get 12" stainless drywall knives. Google them. Add a 1 mtr handle. Now you can reach 2 meters from the surface. Makes the monthly task much easier

It's better to fill a refrigerator quickly to get it cool. Because an empty refrigerator only has air, which becomes cold much less quickly than liquids such as milk and beer. So fill it up as quickly as possible, the sooner the contents will be cool. Good luck. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Awesome 🎉 hard work always pays! In your case absolutely 💯 Keep on keeping on

When I was a kid, I used a stick, line, sinker, hook and a flower to catch fish. Sorry Ben, but it's not the equipment that is holding you back. Floating jig heads with a 1- oz sinker and a worm or minnow. (I became less effective at catching fish once I got expensive stuff) You can't catch fish if you don't have a line in the water.
