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.

All it Takes is One Mistake…
One mistake and we’ve regrettably made a new booking in the boat yard over a piece of rubber. We were just here, and briefly free from the yard, back in the elements and doing what we love living full time on our 34-ft boat. But our celebrations abruptly ceased when we heard a concerning noise from ...
A Brief Taste of Freedom, Until…
We weren’t expecting this to be the thing that takes us back to the boat yard. We’ve just spent a hectic 17 days in the boat yard, you know what it’s like, long days, dirty work, cramped into tight spaces and just a bit of swearing. But at last, it comes together.
