In this episode of Sailing Millennial Falcon, we get stuck into some DIY Boat maintenance in the yard at spice island marina. The agenda for this haul out is to install (or re-install) our feathering propeller (the H5 Autoprop) from Bruntons which we initially attempt to install in the water at anchor in St Martin September last year. After some testing, we decided the installation was not correct and we switched back to our old propeller.
Day one of the yard we were off to a ripper start. In the first hour, we managed to get the old propeller removed with a Prop Puller I had bought from a trade tools store in Australia for 80$ (bargain!) and after a thorough pressure wash the hull bearly needed sanding for next coat of paint (Winning!).
Later that afternoon we headed over to meet our friends John and Tadji Kretschmer on their Kauffman 47 named Quetzal to conduct an interview entitled “The Wisdom of 300,000 Bluewater Miles – with John Kretschmer” Adam had arranged prior (stay tuned for that one). After a great evening we whisked ourselves off to the airport to collect some new crew who made the jump to Grenada to hide out with us whilst the COVID-19 chaos unfolds.
With a few extra hands we knocked over the sanding and painting of the hull and the propeller installation takes a nerve-wracking turn as Adam comes to the conclusion the propeller is in fact NOT key bound, as he previously suspected and he needs to cut our shaft to make the Bruntons H5 Auto prop fit.
Lastly, we get stuck into some Q&A and we give a quick update on the state of play on the Millennial Falcon and Grenada in general in these uncertain times.
Thanks for watching!
