#71: The 847 Other Projects

They say: “If you’re going to haul out, be sure to do this and that and this while you’re out of the water.”  Well, trust me.  We did.  I have spared you for quite some time but I now think you’re ready.  I give you …. just a small glimpse at the mountains of OTHER projects we did while at the yard as a final farewell to our shipyard days.  Next up, we start the rigorous process of stepping the mast and raising our new rig.  Enjoy!

#67: How NOT to Re-Bed a Bow Pulpit

That’s right.  I’ve shared a few “hows” from our stint at the yard, now it’s time for a few “how nots.”  Watch as we re-bed the bow pulpit not once, but twice (because it was so much fun the first time) for your viewing pleasure.

And … aSIDE from the book release next week, then it’s just a few days until we embark on our Atlantic crossing journey.  Atlantic Annie’s getting a little too excited about it.  If you haven’t yet, join the journey on Patreon.  Go ahead, take the plunge!

#66: Re-Bed with Butyl and Magic Bolts

Ooooh, says Video Annie.  Magic bolts!  Watch as we get our frames blasted and painted and get “real creative” (Brandon term) making custom bolts to fit the stupid binding posts for the windows.  Thanks, as always, to the boys at Perdido Sailor, Inc. for helping us DIY’ers on the re-fit.  Enjoy the video!
