Bums on a Boat is a story. It starts with reckless abandon, throwing all caution to the wind. Just bloody go for it and see what happens. It's not pretty but it sure is exciting. We wanted to live an alternative way of life, no more 9 to 5, no more playing by the rules.
This is adventure, sailing with no previous experience, fixing a sailboat with no skills and sailing the world with little money. Living as if there really were no tomorrow. Feeling freedom in the mind and body. Look how we want, talk how we want and live how we want.
Everything has a price. Love became a beautiful part of this story but it ended in heartbreak. Now only I (Joel) remain. These are the Tales of BOAB!

Turns out, fiberglass work is challenging AND entertaining. The boys rip out all the vinyl and scrape off every inch of adhesive, then cut a hole in the boat to repair a soft spot in the deck.

Leaving the boat unattended was not easy especially when you've put all you got in her but following my heart was what got me here and that is what pulled me away. If she held her ground and I was able to earn enough money to make repairs and continue surv...
The goal was to patch up a hole in our main sail while inside the cabin. Of course the limited space and sewing it by hand presented some challenges. Its not exactly pretty but with some added sail tape she just might work.

While living aboard on anchorage I decided to try to paint the interior fiberglass portion of our sailboat. This is an entertaining DIY which should provide learning through my mistakes and maybe even a few laughs.
