How many jackets is too many? Arabella makes her way down the Jersey coast. Steve, Robin, and Peter (a friend from Boothbay, Maine) brace for colder weather, wearing as many layers as possible. Luckily, they are literally making their way to warmer weather each and every day.
Making great time, the crew reaches the mouth of the Delaware River and prepares to stop in the Cape May Inlet for the night. The friendly folks at the Bayshore Center at Bivalve offer them a spot at the dock. It just so happens that there’s an oyster packing company just a few steps away, so Steve enjoys a good time shucking 100 oysters.
Sometimes, it works out not always having a plan. Along this journey, Steve has been able to visit some pretty cool places and meet some pretty cool people. Being able to explore the restored 1928 oyster schooner A. J. Meerwald is such a different experience from hearing stories and looking at photos.
Before taking off, Peter helps turn Arabella around so that Steve and Robin can continue on with ease. Plus, learn how you can track Arabella’s progress.

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
