Smuggling a Bowsprit into Mexico! | Sailing Avocet
A broken heart and a brand new bowsprit made a great excuse for a boys trip to Peñasco for some good ol' fashion boatyard healing. Our dear friend Peter from SV Kessel (@KesselUnderway ) had a new aluminum bowsprit built and stuffed in his sprinter van along with boat parts, a massive amount of tools, a bench grinder, a giant sander, a drill press, a band saw, plywood, 3 gallons of epoxy, our new fridge, all of our engine spares and just enough room for Chris. With our return to Avocet scheduled a few months later in January, it was a great opportunity to knock some of our own projects out. Plus, I had a sneaking suspicion that some quality “bro” time would do wonders for Chris, despite his initial protests. As usual, the wife was right but we will get to that later.
