Prepping for Splash Day | Deep Clean, Sailboat Hull Prep & DIY Interior Upgrades
We’re almost ready to splash! 💦 In this video we give our 33 foot sailboat a proper scrub after the long Swedish winter, and start prepping the hull for painting – one of the last big jobs before we can finally get Lady Four back in the water.
Once again - thank you to @bushpoint for helping us changing the septic tank tubes! 😂
Linn dusts off her sewing skills to create new cushion covers for our saloon. We hope it will add style and comfort to our future floating home.🔑 We also make a few smaller but important upgrades, like installing a safety net along the guard rails to keep our smallest skipper, our dog Nora, safe aboard.❤️
