Out of the frying pan and into the fire | Refitting a 2001 sailboat
February 10, 2023 by Sailing Honu Time | Language: EN Play Time: 00:22:21 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
The day has finally arrived. We are scheduled to get back in the water. Just a few minor projects to complete… Wax the hull, install the prop, paint the bottom of the keel and stand plates, then wash the boat and were done. Minor stuff.
It was very surreal to see the all the stands knocked down under our boat and think those 8 stands kept us up in the air and secure for 2 weeks while we did some major work in the boat. It was scary in the beginning going up and down the ladder to get into Honu. However, it quickly become old hat as we were lugging supplies, a/c units, laundry, groceries…ect up and down every day.
I am so proud of the work we have completed in the past 2 weeks. What started out as a quick bottom job and sea cocks turned into lesson in so much more. We learned how to repair the blisters on our hull, repair a damaged rudder and fiberglass it properly to make it strong. There was gel coat and electrolysis issues, plumbing and never ending sanding. But we got it done and we now feel so safe in our Hunter 460 knowing that she is safe and secure below the water line. Now it’s time to make this turtle fly again and get her back in the water.
Not only is it important to have a strong and reliable boat but it is also a must to have a strong and reliable partner. We both say it to each other all the time that there is no one else that we could do this with. It’s not just the lovey relationship stuff, it’s also the compatibility to work with another human in a very tight space and be in there space 24/7. This is not all sunshine and rainbows…the magical and romantic go off sailing into the sunset together. However, as you know there is a lot of hard work, understanding, and compassion that goes into every day. We are so thankful to have found each other and to have this opportunity to share our dreams together. 🧡💙
If you haven’t guessed it yet we are very OCD and that means everything must have a proper place on the boat. The Milwaukee Packouts have been a game changer for keeping our boat garage organized and safe when we are on a heel. Just click it and forget it! #milwaukeetools #milwaukeepackout
