How To Remove and Replace Sailboat Port Lights [Windows] - Pirate Lifestyle TV ™ Episode 026

Ahoy Capt Rob. Yes, livingaboard. Did it for 30+ yrs on the West Coast. I don't know about the Gulf, but out West our major battle was with condensation, mold & mildew. Nothing really dried out. Insulation was the key. I'm asked "Why are you putting so much insulation in the Jani J?" I mention a saying we had out there: "How do you tell the livaboards at a party? The're the ones that smell like mildew." Sadly it's true, I've been one of them.

@hustn99 Ahoy Martin. Moisture is a big problem on the gulf coast too. Warm days, cool nights (relatively speaking) and near 100% humidity make for a damp boat. Bigger problem in the winter, the AC takes care of it now.

nice video, hope to see more like it. one thing though, you sound like you are reading to little kids. could you pick up the speech speed a bit? 

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@fluxx23 Thanks, I know what you mean about the speech speed. With this kind of video, I was trying to stretch out the voice over speech to the length of the scenes rather than speaking quickly and having lots of dead air.

Nice job Capt'n! That's a lot of elbow grease needed to clear out and remove all the old dried up silicone that's for sure. Finished product looks great! Arrrr

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@marc726 Ahoy Marc, I sincerely appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks! And yes, removing the old silicone is/was no fun.

Sheesh! Only 5 more to go? :-D

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@NomadRip Ahoy James. Nope, they are all done. All 10 in total are done. The forward 4 done a couple of years ago, and the 4 aft (what's in the video) and 2 in the cockpit are all done!! Arrr.
