Post-Bahamas Boat Projects (We’re Dropping the Rudder!)
Schadenfreude. I know it’s German, but I have no idea how to say it. A good friend of ours taught it to us when he was telling us what great pleasure he took in seeing Phillip and I knee-deep in … Continue reading
#72: Raising the New Rig — Part 1
Three months in the yard and we are finally (in video time) ready to raise the new rig. Watch as we assemble the shrouds and stays, put our first hi-mod mechanical fitting on the forestay and complete all of the … Continue reading

April 3, 2013 – The Survey/Sea Trial
