BARGE BUILD. Two Floods, One Week. Sailing Ocean Fox Ep 220

We filled up the water tanks just to find out that it was leaking from the fitting in the tank. The second flood was on the engine room when we were filling with anti freezing. We forgot about the breathing tube hidden behind the insulation. So we had a huge flood all over the bilges in the engine room, what a disaster!
We get over these humps in the road to launching. We spend a lot of time making a signal mast for the navigation lights. The ones on the market were to expensive so Simon decided he was going to make one with the leftovers of wood that we had. He did such a great job on the carpenters work and the mast looks amazing. Carla does a wonderful job of painting it as well so we have the most beautiful mast in the River we think.
A lot of things happened this week that we did not video or did not include, door frame were added, doors were made to name but a few. But the big question is…are we going into the WATER? We already missed two launching dates!

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.
