Travels With Geordie
Канада
Добавлен 14 окт 2013
Travels with Geordie is the ongoing story of the life and travels of Peter Knowles. The story begins in 2013 in Nova Scotia where we set out on a life of perpetual travel. First around North America in a vintage Airstream towed by an even more Vintage Land Rover. In time, I arrived In Victoria British Columbia and fell in love with a 1953 38' Monk motor cruiser and promptly moved aboard, beginning a long and thorough refit to enable me to cruise extensively. Come and join me as I enjoy a life afloat with a mix of sawdust, good food and drink, travel and music.

Nice tender !
Im very great for you sharing these great videos, i live in Sydney BC for a great summer, it raided only day whole time i was there, Love it....
Hotdogging the dink, and the mast project is inspiration to get with it on Kitty Hawk. Blocking glued in, its just drill some holes now...
I've got a 42' yellow cedar over oak motor sailer with a plywood house and trunk cabin that is totaled from neglect. I'm to the point of contemplating a total teardown and a redesign of the whole house to accomodate my retirement liveaboard home. She deserves it. A 1965 Blanchard-built, Ed Monk designed sweetheart. I'm taking some confidence from your skills and attitude. Now to find a reasonably-priced boat house for rent.
It was a pleasure to meet you arriving Sydney Marina during the recent seasonal event . For a project like yours I have used a Interlux product , Watertite, for final surface prep. Sands nicely. Having had the wooden boat experience, on named Didgeridoo, I appreciate the scale of your 3 current projects you are tackling !
Peter you are an absolute star. What could be more work than maintaining a wooden boat? Maintaining three wooden boats.🤣 I am grateful for your video uploads.👍
if only they knew of the patented Knowles-Freckelton engine through the window while on the water method.
Possible solution for access to tank under dresser. Rather than make the dresser removable you could make one big access hole in the base of the dresser. Then when you need to access the fittings of the tank for any reason all you would need to do is simply remove the drawers
Almost 30,000 subscribers !!!! :)
Grateful for this channel as I swear I'm learning something new every time. Adhesive sandpaper, (presumably?) a hole drill bit and an electric drill for those hard to reach curved interior spaces. Making a note of that for the eventual grab rail maintenance I'm going to have to do. Nice figurehead on the outro!
Peter I'm grateful my wifi stayed on until I finished watching this video it was a pleasure seeing you work on MV Zephyrhills 😊
Having to watch this Monday as I was out boating yesterday and passed out just as I started watching this episode lol. But I'm so glad I found you Peter- got me over my hump of fear in working with not so much "exotic" as they are expensive woods. The interior of my project Hatteras is coming out beautifully- thanks to these videos!
nothing is sexier than a woman working on a boat period
Hi Peter, it always amazes me. How are you grunt and grown talk to yourself about issues it’s so funny it’s like one flew over the Cuckoo’s nest
Who ever cut that cabin top off to lower the engine down should be grateful they're far out of your reach right now!
I'm wondering what your plans are for this summer, you don't have long before you have to vacate Victoria Harbour and the only boat that is even close to being ready for an excursion is Zephyrus but even that looks like some jobs will have to be postponed until you return. Then you have the boat shed up for sale although from what I can gather there hasn't been a lot of interest but you cannot leave all your stuff inside while you go cruising for the summer in case somebody does buy it, you'll also need to be fairly close if someone wants to check it out and does decide to buy it. Then there is the question of what are your plans after you sell it, you mentioned using the money for something else 'more suitable' for your needs, I'm guessing that means some kind of location where you can store more than one boat at a time plus all your tools plus spare timber etc and doesn't need to be vacated during the summer months but that kind of thing sounds more like a boatyard/workshop setup and doesn't accommodate the dream of 'doing some extensive cruising some day'. It looks to me that you are barely able to keep up with the workload and at times it is getting ahead of you so you are forced to make compromises instead of doing what is necessary, maintaining 3 old wooden boats while trying to live a fairly normal life and run a RUclips channel is very ambitious for one guy, you really do need to consider lightening the load on yourself and let one boat go ! Poem is too small to be practical and is draining your time and resources too much, you need to prioritize your efforts where they will be most beneficial and release some of the money that has got tied up, you will be grateful that you did !
Hi Peter it always enhances the noise of stormy weather when tarpaulin is applied but still feels a relief when it’s on even though it’s quite noisy. Good job the bear was good and always great full of a weekly episode.👍
You know, Peter seems to really enjoy boat work as much as cruising, I think he really needs his own boat shed. A double wide wide with a small apartment above, one slip for Gordie and one to rent out to cover the costs.
Grateful is such a kind word. Just lovin it!!!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Great music in this episode 😊
Grateful for this little weekly inspiration to start new and FINISH projects!
Happy Father's Day Peter. May God Bless you and your extended Family.
Did a project like this a while back, 6 drawers, yup made a template. So much easier Excellent video as normal, so jealous of your skills
Do the sliding drawers need some sort of latch or lock to prevent them from sliding open during heavy seas?
I am guessing there is going to be a cabin side replacement party coming in future years.
Always grateful for the inspiration you provide,
Peter, it's getting good I'm waiting for the fix...see ya next week, thxs for sharing
grateful for your videos.
I am grateful that you share your adventures with us followers on a weekly basis. Alway something to learn and always entertaining. Still miss the old intro. Cheers!!
It's great to be grateful.
It's so full of holes, it's religious. ;-)
Love it love it love it!!!
Thanks again Peter. I’m not getting much time lately to watch your videos but when I do it reminds me of how little I know of boat building. 😢😢
I'm grateful that there are fantastic people like Peter on RUclips! Hopefully you can get the cabinsides on LadyZ's boat stabilized for a bit. (More content for upcoming year). Boat house seems to have worked out well, maybe you've got a bigger one staked out after this one is sold? Cheers, and Happy Fathers Day!
Peter, most repairs you do are “temporary”, why not do it right the first time. Seems like you are creating a lot of extra work for yourself.
I would have to disagree with selling the shed, its always in use.
I am so grateful for your show!
I love this channel because it shows quality work can be done with limited resources, skill and knowledge. great departure from the norm where you have guys doing quality work in million dollar shops and guys doing terrible work with limited tooling.
Get rot is a product that works well to prep the rotted area for repair .... ask me why i know this ! Lol
I for one am grateful for you good Sir Peter! You deliver an entertaining show that is innovative, inspiring and educational to me. "Someday" I'd love to get myself a 60'-70' wooden motor vessel of the mid 50's to mid 60's style, fix it up and start cruising the ICW and gulf coast, "someday". I'm just saying that watching your channel, and a couple others, gives me hope that it's actually possible, so thanks for the inspiration and Happy Fathers Day Peter!
Thanks for a lovely video. You’ve got some work on your hands but I know you’ll make a beautiful job of it.
I'm so many episodes behind because of work but I just wanted to wish you the best and I'll hope to catch up soon.
When it comes to boat maintenance and repair it is not for the faint of heart!
When
To face a much bigger challenge than forecast and yet still remain grateful for all you have is a bit of zen art and I’m sure some coarse words from time to time!
I think we should all be greatful for Peter and Travels with Geordie. Without which our Sundays would be tedious.
Spring Weather and a can of worms. Productive 👍🏼
AWESOME,,!
Companionship is magnificent and something to be very greatful for.
Have to agree and admit that we sometimes take it for granted. 😢
