Tender Troubles: Will I reach the shore or sink?

Living on a sailboat comes with its own set of challenges. In this episode, titled “Tender Troubles: Will I reach the shore or sink?” I share my experience with the Joycraft Dingy. I’ll admit, I take full responsibility for its unexpected and sudden deflation – an unanticipated shore detour, and the unforgiving sun took its toll on my over-pressurized dingy. But I have since learned from `experts` that PVC Dingies have a reputation for glue giving way to heat and pressure. In this episode I am prepping the boat for passage to Okinawa, Amidst the taking stock of inventory, cleaning, and maintenance, an inordinate amount of time is taken up trying to repair the dingy
Witness my attempts at resurrection as I took advantage of Robinson’s Farm in Sekko, a former school turned farm, to patch up the dingy. After eight days of diligent repair work, leaks persisted. Will this resilient dingy carry me to the shore, or is it destined to sink? Join me in the latest chapter of my Pacific solo adventure to find out.
