Yahoo!!! I finally have a clean white surface on Splendid. Check out the new video.

I think the work will start going a lot faster now. 95% of this job is all prep work. Splendid will be nice and shiny before she leaves Florida for points South. I missed a windlass I really wanted on ebay yesterday, I’m really bummed. I need an electric windlass and I’m really scrounging for a deal. My top pick would be a lighthouse, secondly I’d like an Ideal, and thirdly a Lofrans Tigress. I may end up going with 3/8 chain, but I’d really like 5/16ths HT. It’s stronger and lighter. I’m really bummed about the ideal windlass I missed yesterday. If anyone has a line on a good windlass for a great price, please let me know. The Ideal went for seven hundred and change.

Oh yeah, we also had some problems with a few DVD orders. Our shopping cart showed a few orders processed, but money never hit paypal. We also don’t have email addresses to contact the buyers. We are still working out a few bugs on the new site. Here are the order numbers and last names:

1045 Tingle
1036 Stevens
1030 Charbonneau

If your one of these people, please contact me.

Peace everyone

Sail Far!!!

    Alex I got your email the other day, which made me go to the website and read your blogs from the past year. I really enjoyed reading them and wish there were more. Maybe your next projsect would be to turn your blogs into a book? Grats on your new found love. I have a 4 year old and know the joy you are experiencing with Guim. Never underestimate your impact on her.

    Reading your blogs I see you miss out on a lot of items you are bidding for on ebay. The key to good deals on ebay is to bid at the last moment to keep from bidding the item up. So, you need to use this service:

    http://www.justsnipe.com/auctions/signin.asp

    Its free service allows you to use it on 5 auctions per week. Its free, easy, free, convienent, free, effiecient, free, and free.

    Keep on keepin on.

    P.S. About the new site: you should make a quick link to youe videos with a drop down window by date like the blog posts. They would be much easier to find and be in order. Many of your vid links just take you to the new homepage.

  2. actually this should be Re: P.S. I’m tending to agree with tennisguy about the video section. If there’s anyway to link the videos together even if you just retitle the videos 1-100 that’d be sweet. Also if there’s anyway to attach them to Bluesphere TV that’d be awesome, I don’t mind seeing the ads for the dvds but I always get confused when I have to go to members home. Eh, that’s both my cents. Take care, can’t wait to see the deck all clean and white!

  3. thanks for the input. I just realized that bluesphere tv are the previews. The previews should only be on the neo.projectbluesphere.com player. Thanks guys, I’ll also try to reorder all the videos. The best thing to do however is buy the DVD. There is alot more video, each feature-length, and in order. The website is just a bunch of out-takes.

    Cheers.

  4. Hi,

    I was wondering about the run time of each video? Can we save on shipping if ordering both DVDs at once?

  5. never mind about the shipping question!

  6. Alex – I just have to say that your site and the videos are great! I have purchased both DVD’s and have just about worn them out (if that is possible). I have never been cruising but did live on a Coronado 35 for 2 /1/2 years on San Francisco Bay while attending college. I had the chance to meet may cruisers in the marina as it had a high number of extended stay slips available. The whole marina was like a big family.

    I wish you all the best and will continue to read your posts and watch your videos!

    Hi Alex,

    Glad to see Splendid is starting to look nice, in the video we can see the sheen on the wet painted surface, but if you want to really see white decks then you should come up to Toronto. this snow… good to have some summer thru your website.

    You can have some of our snow here in Minnesota also. 3 more months before the ice goes out.
    Keep up the great work.

  14. This is the first I’ve heard about an unpaid bill from you. I will certainly pay you if you give me an address or other method of settling this account. I found out funnily enough when I was randomly re-reading a few of your logs. I’m sorry for this slip up.
