Hey guys! This week we’re taking a leap of faith and diving headlong into our very FIRST fiberglassing experience! Have we learned enough to make our drifting domicile strong and safe for years to come? There’s no room for error here; our home, our livelihood, and maybe even our own survival depend on a job well done! Check out our progress on our latest episode, now LIVE!

In today’s episode we get some final pointers from our resident fiberglass expert, do some more prep work on the outside of the keel, and take on the massive task of fiberglassing three bilges in our keel stub to make them stronger than when they were brand new!

For Love of Wind

Sailing SV Flow - 2 people, 4 dogs, 0 experience We’re just a couple of middle-aged empty-nesters who are slightly prone to “Oooh-Shiny” Syndrome and sometimes lack the good sense to back down from a challenge. Granted, no one has ever accused us of leading boring lives; crazy, maybe, but not boring. We don’t do sweet, sane life-in-a-box. We do live in a near constant state of chaos, but chaos has become our friend and our mentor. Now we’ve really jumped off the deep end (pun definitely intended) and are taking on our biggest challenge yet- we are setting out on a circumnavigation of the globe in our 45' sailboat with our four dogs as unwitting accomplices. This new adventure promises to shape and mold our lives in ways we’ve only imagined. We invite you to follow along with us as we turn the page on this new chapter. And don’t worry- while you are starting in the middle of our story, you, my friend, have the benefit of skipping right to the best chapter!
