Osmosis & Sea Water Leaks: Sometimes Boat Ownership Sucks (Boat Yard 2/4)

We’ve pulled into Hobart, Tasmania, just in time for the winter. We needed a break from sailing, and our boat needed some attention. We thought it’d be a short stopover, but we’ve decided to stay until the weather clears again. Allowing us time to drag our boat onto land and give her some love. We’ve just spent the first couple of days beginning to deconstruct the boat and unfortunately in the process, we found a below waterline issue we ought to address. We’re doing osmosis repairs and begin the job of replacing all our seacocks. Which requires bashing out holes in our boat. We’re fully committed now.
