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

http://blog.boats.com/2013/10/fort-lauderdale-boat-show-check-out-the-scene/ For more videos about boating, visit www.boats.com. The Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show is one of the nation's biggest, taking place in six locations totaling over 3 million square feet. Whether you're planning to purchase a new boat now or you just want to get a feel for the latest and greatest in the marine world, this is the place to be in late October. The 2013 show starts on Thursday, October 31, and continues through Monday, November 4, and newly organized maps and color codes promise to make it even easier to find what you're looking for this year. We spent some time at the 2012 show capturing the scenes on video, so you can get a taste of the action even if you weren't there.
