Salt & Tar: Boatyard Update
In this latest episode, Salt & Tar provide an update on the ongoing boatyard project of restoring their wooden boat, Raiva. Having just completed day three of intensive work, the team reflects on the progress made so far and outlines the next steps in the restoration process.
Day Three Boatyard Update
The wooden boat Raiva has surprisingly maintained good shape, even after a long period of sitting. This unexpected result brought some welcome good news amidst the demanding work conditions in the hot weather. The team has been determined to make significant progress before being forced to keep Raiva out of the water for longer periods due to increasing temperatures.
Next Steps and Challenges
In order to ensure the project stays on track, Salt & Tar have identified that painting can commence tomorrow. This will be a significant milestone in Raiva’s transformation. Furthermore, with their compressor also expected to be operational by then, the team is hopeful for a Saturday launch.
Updates and Engagement
Due to time constraints, the creation of a detailed video for this week’s episode has been impacted. Nevertheless, the duo has remained committed to keeping their audience informed and engaged with regular updates. Although they admit to being fully occupied with work, they didn’t want their viewers to feel left out.
