Navigating Boat Projects: A Week of Challenges and Progress
EP 74 Momma said there’d be days like this - https://youtu.be/SMl2HJcotOQ
Ahoy, fellow sailors! Another week has passed aboard our trusty vessel, filled with the usual mix of triumphs and tribulations. Join us as we recount the adventures of the past few days and the ongoing saga of boat restoration.
Our week began with a dive into fiberglass repair – a task that had us scratching our heads and reaching for the sandpaper. As we worked to fill in the scratches left by a previous hurricane, we found solace in the forgiving nature of fiberglass. After all, if we made a mistake, we could simply sand it down and start anew.
But our repair efforts were not without interruptions. Our crewmates, ever eager to explore, needed a gentle reminder of their responsibilities aboard the boat. With a bit of coaxing and a promise of adventure to come, they soon joined us in our endeavors.
As the week progressed, we found ourselves knee-deep in various projects, from rearranging our to-do list to testing out new strategies for staying warm during chilly workdays. With each task, we moved closer to our goal of launching the boat into the water.
Of course, no week aboard Spoondrifter would be complete without a few surprises from Mother Nature. A sudden storm provided the perfect opportunity to test our recent deck repairs, and we were pleased to find that our efforts had paid off – the mast remained dry, and the leaks were minimal.
But as the sun sets on another week in the yard, we find ourselves facing new challenges and exciting opportunities. From motor mounts to broken tow rails, there's never a dull moment aboard our vessel.
As always, we invite you to join us on our journey, whether through the highs or the lows. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment – we love hearing from fellow adventurers like you.
Until next time, fair winds and following seas!
