After more than a year with our mast down, we’re finally pushing hard toward re-stepping — or so we thought.
In this episode, we dive back into the final stages of our complete mast rebuild, a project that has included stripping the old paint, full rewiring, new clutches, new lights, and cleaning a...
The ONE THING we thought was good on our sailboat is F#CKED!
In this episode we drill more holes in to Joco to uncover the extent of the mast step damage - and then figure out a plan of attack to remedy it. Just ONE MORE PROJECT till we're back in the water...right?
Thank you for all your supp...
Winch, mast, birds and dancing
We noticed the 23ST - 41 Meissner winch was slipping a bit.
The forward deck light needed to be replaced and Steve was going to lift Karen up the main mast with a new bulb. As she started to ascend the mast, the Meissner 23ST - 41 winch started to slip and periodicall...
After a relaxing Christmas and New years with family it's time to have another crack at this vessel and finally finally finally get out for some cruising. This week while trying to survive running on next to no sleep and having at times two screaming babies we're getting stuck into the job...
Bringing this Amel Super Maramu (one of the greatest blue water cruisers built in the 90's and 00's) back to life after a huge accident with a container ship has been nothing short of a crazy roller coster. This we look into the cost of it all and figure out if we have made a good investme...
Finally after 18 months in the marina we are departing to get back into cruising life. Yes we've worked ourselves hard, sweated it out and lost a lot of sleep to not only the boat but our twin babies as well. This week we are kissing our problems good buy with the horizon as our destination.......
Yes, after 18 months, newly born twin babies, and a whole lot of sweating and swearwords we have finally made it out onto the water under our own propulsion and MAN does it feel good. Finally having a running engine last week, this week we are eager to start testing it out to discover if there are a...
To be perfectly honest we haven't much enjoyed our time on the hard, sweating it out in the middle of the tropics, fixing up a broken boat with baby twins requiring huge amounts of our attention. I guess thats why this week we are soooo super stoked to finally see our engine working! Yes, it...
Another week and we're splashed well and truly hopefully for the last time in a long while. We assess the common leak that has been annoying us for so long and the engine in finally being finished (kind of).
Join the crew
Our patrons are the ones that make this all possible and without them,...
Another week in the yard and another ground hog day hahaha. No I'm sure you've heard us say this before but we can't wait to get out of here and getting launched in the water (for a second time) is a huge step towards this. With the manager coming in on a Sunday to drop us in we hadn&...
Yep, you heard that right, after 12 months on the hard and one month in the water we are getting hauled out again! Kieran's frustration really comes out when an experienced shipright insstructs him to replace the whole stuffing box, a job that would take a number of months.

Toilets jobs, leaking sailing boat and hot humid Malaysian heat, does it get any better I ask you!? Yes diving head first into a constant "head" (or toilet) issue we've been facing for a couple weeks its surprisingly not that fun... After launching some three weeks ago we noticed a le...
Getting stuck into the jos while our babies keep us happy with all the smiles, life is pretty dahm good right now. We run you through some quesstions put to us by our amazing Patrons. We even go into the constant endlesss engine rebuild issues. Kieran gets the windex working on the top of our mast s...
After 12 months rebuilding our Perkins M80-t engine we're happy to say that most of it is being dropped in the vessel this week. When I say most of it the mechanic has found an issue with the head which requires further repair. On top of the fantastic engine job we also have a water leak and to...
Yes! After 12 months on the hard refitting this broken boat its time to finally move onto the boat. We are so very nervous about how our babies will take to living on the water and this week we find out exactly how its going to look. Living in an apartment for three months with new born babies we...
Another week in the marina and its time to get the boat ready to move onto. Getting systems like the grey water sump pump and the air conditioning working is imperative before moving onboard Merewether. While replacing the old fuel also needs doing before our newly rebuild engine gets installed.
Jo...
With only matter of a week or two before we get our newly re-built engine in the jobs continue with new davits being finished, anchor roller being properly fasten down and our babies trying different foods for the first time. Words can't begin to explain how ready we are to start cruising! Get ...
Ahh yes the endless jobs continue and this week we are finally getting around to sticking on the name of Merewether. Working through the jobs list does get harder and harder with the babies really slowing us down. But finding determination and. perseverance we keep going. Our rebuilt engine is only ...
Happy to say that our 53 foot sailing vessel did not sink on her first night in the water after 12 months on land haha. The leak that first started as we hit the water seems to have stopped for now and with any luck it will not come back. The boats jobs are far from finished. This week Kieran goes a...
Yes!! It's finally here. After 12 long months on the hard we are getting launched today!! The feelings and emotions are really running high as we take a huge step to rejoining our cruising life! Things don't go to plan unfortunately with the weather for the first time in months deciding to...
This week we finalise everything that needs to be done before she goes in the water. The bow thruster is acting up so Kieran has to manually put in a pully system to get it in the up position. The dirty sump in the engine room gets a good scrub and the anchor chain gets lifted on to the boat again. ...
Tied up, pole dance, jacking, stingray, pelican, eagle, bikini, dresses, AIS, antennas, sanding teak
Our pre-strainer for the forward A/C keeps getting clogged with floating seagrass. We have to remove all bedding, cushions to access and clean every three days. Big hassle.
What started as a singl...
Yes, finally after delay after delay the long awaited selden mast has been put up and boy does she look good! With stress levels high, the rigger, Kieran and several workers go about getting the mast in her final position to start carrying sails to go around the world. It's been a long road to ...
