We’ve made it to Seisia and go ashore in Peanut, to the Loyalty Beach Caravan Park, to pick up our spinnaker sock., finally!
We measure and mark out the fabric for the mizzen stack pack. There isn’t enough room on Nutshell to do it easily so we use a table on the beach instead and use an ingenious trick for measuring long lengths with limited table space.
Magnus talks about our brewing setup on Nutshell.
We work on the stack packs and after three days of sewing the mizzen one is finished!
Thanks for watching.
Until next time.
Wendy and Magnus
