Episode 37:
In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest steps in our boat repair journey yet: dismounting the floor almost entirely and removing the keel. This massive project spanned over seven hours, pushing everybody physically and emotionally. This phase felt like a huge milestone, leading us closer to the big survey we’ve been preparing for—an inspection that will hopefully reveal the full extent of the boat’s condition with the damage.
Along the way, we faced a tough decision that impacts our dream, and while it’s not an easy one, it’s another part of this journey we’re choosing to share. Join us as we push forward through the highs and lows of making these critical repairs, with more major steps on the horizon.
We apologize for having to blur so much in this episode to respect everyone’s privacy. Thank you for your understanding and for sticking with us on this journey! ♥️
