Over the years I’ve come to terms with the fact that Sailing the world involves a very natural Ebb and flow between actually sailing and working on the boat. The ability to go on these adventures is a hard won feat, one that takes days and weeks, months, or even years of preparation.
Now Atticus II is in great shape. But all boats are constantly in need of some kind of maintenance or repair. UV from the sun, salt water, fresh water, metal corrosion, wood rot, humidity, Long periods of immobility mixed with momentarily gigantic forces all conspire to turn any actively cruising Sailboat into a loose cluster of breaking down systems.
I’ve often used the analogy that a cruising sailboat is a bomb with a lit fuse, every now and then we need to splice on a bit more fuse to keep the whole thing from blowing.
But this time around we’re going to have Isabella with us, so in addition to boat maintenance I’m going to be working on some improvements that will help me singlehanded the boat with minimal help from Desiree.
So now it’s time to stow our snorkel gear and hiking shoes, and to bust out the tools, so we can keep this bomb from exploding just a little bit longer.
