The days are ticking by now - already at Day 4. Today is normally the family day, all the young and budding sailors come out to inspect their dream boats. It is fun on the stand as the kids always have interesting questions to ask! Yesterday was a full day filled with sunshine and rain, giving everyone chance to wear all of their outfits including the foul weather gear! Tomorrow should also be interesting as it is not on a holiday, for the first time I believe. Exciting stuff here in Annapolis! On the stand today we are focusing on Autoprop, our funny looking sailboat propeller. There is nothing funny though about its performance, saving you 25% in fuel - come find out why on tent B1!
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
