Life on the Water: A Week in the World of Spoondrifters

EP 70 Friends in the Boat Yard - https://youtu.be/eU2L--GzYR8


Ahoy, fellow adventurers! Welcome back to another exciting week aboard Spoondrifter. If you've been following along on our journey, you know that life on the water and in the yard is never dull. From boatyard chores to unexpected adventures, there's always something happening in our little corner of the world. So, grab a bowl of popcorn and settle in as we recap the highlights from the past week.

**Fiberglass Fantasies:** Last week was all about fiberglass repairs – a never-ending saga for any boat owner. We tackled miscellaneous projects around the house and the boat, diving deep into the world of epoxy and sanding. With gloves worn out and duct tape in hand, we conquered the never-ending battle against imperfections, one layer at a time.

**A Day in the Boatyard:** Bright and early, we headed to the boatyard to lend a hand to some friends. But, as luck would have it, a dead battery threw a wrench in our plans. After a quick charge, we were back on track, riding on our friends' boat to its new home with a mix of excitement and determination.

**Fiberglass Frenzy Continues:** Back on our own vessel, it was back to business as usual – more fiberglass work. With each layer applied and each hole patched, we inched closer to our goal of seaworthiness. And let's not forget the ingenious use of party tablecloths from Walmart – a budget-friendly solution for clean-up that deserves a round of applause.

**Retail Therapy:** A trip to the store for duct tape and dust masks turned into a comedic adventure, complete with store credit cards and debates over frog tape vs. regular duct tape. But in the end, we emerged victorious, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.

**A Day in the Life:** From boat repairs to family shenanigans, our days are never short on excitement. Whether it's Mom tackling the bottom of the boat solo or Dad picking up odd jobs to fund our adventures, there's never a dull moment in the world of Spoondrifters.

**Looking Ahead:** As we bid farewell to another week, we're gearing up for even more adventures on the horizon. Next week, we'll be tackling the topside of the boat, navigating dinghy dramas, and maybe even enjoying a well-deserved ice cream treat. So, stay tuned for more tales from the high seas!

And that, my friends, wraps up another week in the world of Spoondrifters. Until next time, fair winds and smooth sailing!
