After a meeting with our carpenter friend on the boat, we have some new ideas about the interior design. To view the complete Cruising Lealea Refit Playlist, click the link! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYi0ZDWfmQxFPtVmGege6hYaiasmeOJG8 We ...

Prepping our boat for the fiberglass job took a lot of cleaning, a lot of a plastic and a lot of tape, cut mostly by my teeth! Pretty cool to see her all ready for surgery, though. Lookout rot! Here we come!

It seems the boys at the shipyard like to pick on the DIY'ers. But, we can take a few light hits. We'll probably need their help along the way when it comes time to disassemble and fix all this stuff, so bring it on boys! Many thanks to the www.perdidos...

12 January 2016 is the date for the beginning of our sailing adventure. We leave from Dockan Marina in Malmö in the middle of the winter and so far we have planned to sail to the Canary Islands and after that we'll see where we go next. We have made a lot...

We've got a TON of projects coming up kids, so I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what it is that motivates us when we're doing all of this scraping, cleaning, sanding and prepping. Plenty of cruising vids at https://havewindwilltravel.com/.

A rotten discovery in the bilge brings us the blues during Blue Angles weekend. Find out what tragedy just made our project list a helluva lot longer!

Spurred on by the supportive comments on the previous video (Up on the hard, part 8) I've chosen to paint the area underneath the engine. I'm almost done and I'm glad I did this. Thanks, guys! :)

Out comes the engine! Fingers crossed all new gaskets in the gearbox will fix the leak :)

I solder on the new PL259 connectors and paint (most of) the bottom. As soon as I get the cutlass bearing replaced I'll be back in the water again. Yay!
