Part 2 of our Osmosis Treatment! – Sailing Turtle

Part 2 of the 2 part series on how our four day “just a bit of sanding and throwing on some new antifoul paint” turned into a four week saga of osmotic blister management. We also make a new discovery which could yet again cause some major delays in our launch.

For our osmosis treatment, we used the following materials. Keep in mind, we have a 40 foot boat with a full keel.

We are Dev (pronounced Dave) and Spandana (pronounced Spun-The-Nuh), a software engineer and developmental behavioral pediatrician, who gave up everything. Less than 6 months after learning how to sail, we bought a sailboat and jumped into full time cruising. Our Turtle is a 40 foot 1993 Caliber who has had 7 owners before us and has even been salvaged once. Join our adventure as we travel the world, collecting memories and barnacles!
