When will we get OUT? Trapped in the Sailboat! Sailing SV Bohemian Ep 11
When will we get OUT!! We were trapped in the sailboat. The companion way was frozen shut. When will we get out. Had to go out through a hatch and open from outside. Chewy was relieved. Working on the anchor chain proved challenging. Almost half was rusted away. We will need new chain. Just another...
Clean Bilge! – Episode 150 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Building a boat can seem like an incredibly daunting task. One thing that has gotten us through these years is seeing it a lot of little things that need to be done and pieces that need to go together. This episode is very much dedicated to that ideology. We make a couple more fin head bolts to lo...
Together we can WEATHER ANY STORM! ~ Postcard 9
After losing our propulsion in front of North Landing Bridge in Virginia, we had to find some kind of solution before being able to continue on. It was cold, and only getting colder, but we didn't want to let it discourage us. Through ups and downs, so far we've been able to hang togeth...
Cockpit Mockup – Episode 149 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

Deckhouse mockup – Episode 148 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We have found several moments during the build of Arabella that are just incredibly satisfying. Getting the lead keel poured, getting the backbone assembled, standing up the molds, steaming in frames, getting the first planks on... etc. And now there is one that really feels good and sparks the im...
ENGINE WOES ON THE ICW, our DINGHY SAVES US! ~ Postcard 8

2020: What was the cost? [Ep 3.12 December 2020]
In 2020, we sailed the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and the Dominican Republic. We did some major repairs. We lost our mainsail. And now we have some medical bills. Did we meet our $1000/month liveaboard budget? Was leaving the states worth it? In this Adventure Log, we talk about how we got here, ...
Half Laps and Mast Blocking – Episode 147 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We are on the last steps of putting together the sill for the house top and the blocking for the mizzen mast. Alix needs to cut the half laps in the corners of the sill to get them to fit just right. Once that is done, we can paint them and screw them in place. Steve on the other hand, is install...
Epic sunsets cruising the DELAWARE BAY ~ Postcard 7
With nice weather but no wind, we slowly make our way up the Delaware Bay and across to the Chesapeake Bay, then south to Annapolis.

Installing the Lodging Knees – Episode 144 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
We are nearing the end of the knees! It's amazing the difference that can be seen as these all start to go in. Not only to the rigidity of the structure but also at how the space seems so much different inside. Knees keep the hull from wracking while sailing. They tie many parts of the struc...

Making and Fitting Lodging Knees – Episode 143 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Knees and blocking are what keep the deck of the boat from racking or moving in unwanted ways. Ours are made from the stumps we dug out of the ground around this time last year. It's amazing to see the final product from those rough pieces or material to what they are becoming now. A great w...

Starting to fair the deck structure – Episode 142 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Now that we have installed the short beams around the deckhouse opening, it's time to start fairing that out. These beams have all been milled a bit oversized for this purpose. This means we start by fairing the ends of the short beams down to the carlin to prepare for the sill plate and then...

White Oak Rootstock Knees – Episode 141 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Last year, at about this time of year as well, some blood, sweat and maybe tears were shed in retrieving some large White Oak rootstock from the woods and painstakingly carving out some knees from them.
