Are We Trapped in Queenborough?

In this latest episode of Good Deeds Sailing, Ben, along with his family and friend PJ, finds themselves ‘trapped’ in Queenborough due to the ongoing struggle to sell their car. Despite having their boat ready to go, they must wait for the sale to finalize before setting off on their journey.

Waiting for Car Sale

The inability to leave has proven quite frustrating for Ben and his family. They had expected to be gone by July, but the sale of their car continues to hold them back. As they eagerly await potential buyers, they are forced to stay in Queenborough while attempting to finance their trip.

Completing Boat Projects

To make the most of their time stuck in Queenborough, Ben and his team have taken on various boat projects. One such project involved creating additional storage space by placing wood across a shelf to store sprays, liquids, and other items, ensuring they remain protected when the boat is moving.

Recent Weekend Getaway

Despite their current situation, Ben and his family have managed to find some enjoyment in their stay. They took a weekend away to go sailing with Adrian from Sing Sailing in Solent, which will be featured in an upcoming episode.

Preparing for Departure
