And it was another one of those bad news days. After pulling up the deck on the outside we realised that the wood rot got into the samson post right on deck level. After poking a knife into the samson post to determine how far along the wood rot has gone (hoping we could safe the samson post) we quickly realised that it's rotten almost halfway through and it was a hard decision, I do have to admit it took a bit of convincing, I really wanted to save the old post, I really didn't want another project, it's all getting a bit overwhelming lately, like what the hell was I thinking, buying a timber boat... But yeah the boat builder and a few other friends did talk some sense into me, it is probably not the safest idea to moor your boat on a half rotten post. So here we go, winching the old post out to use it as a template to make a new one :) IG: @ yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

a sailboat struggling against a raging storm in the open ocean. Towering waves, violent winds, and lightning flashes create an intense and emotional scene. The distant camera perspective and slight shake add to the ultra-realistic and raw atmosphere of nature’s power at sea. #SailingStorm #OceanPower #StormAtSea #SailingLife #RealSailing #BoatLife #SailingAdventure #OceanDrama #SurvivalAtSea #NatureFury
