BARGE BUILD. Mast, Rudder and Anchor. Ready to go! Sailing Ocean Fox Ep221

Things are at last starting to come all together. This week we get stuck in to the electrics in the Bow locker, the Windlass it is working and we manage to lift our rather large anchor. Another big achievement on River Fox!
We finally get the mast up and looks amazing. We still can’t believe that we made that beautiful mast!
The rudder goes on but wasn’t an easy job. Everything is so heavy and difficult to turn. But at least we have done it.
We are nearly there. The launch gets put off again and now the boatyard can’t put us in the water until the 4 th of July. At least we will be much more prepared by then.

A little bit about us…

We met in the summer 2015, we were introduced to each other by the virtual world. Eighteen months later we were getting married on a beautiful beach on Barbados, bare foot, very simple ceremony just like a dream!

Two days after the wedding laying on the beach, talking about sailing, Carla suggested… why don’t we sail around the world? Guess what Simon said? “Let’s do it” He took it with no second thoughts! And here we are, two years after that day in Barbados, we started our adventure in Croatia.

We made it happen working through all the challenges on the way.

Now we are enjoying this wonderful life, and what a wonderful life it is!

As we travel we will cross less fortunate countries, we would love to help to build a school or a health care centre, anything that these people may need, and in our beautiful world this is taken for granted. But for these people it’s a dream, or may not even be a dream.

We will look around and when the opportunity to help comes we will put our hands and hearts in to it.
