How to make a new yard, step 1. 😊 This week has included locating, taking down, debarking and preparing timber that will become six new yards on the ship! Heading out on our big expedition to Asia next year, we need to bring spare yards with us, and this week has been very busy at the sawmill outside of Laholm. Once the first processing of the logs has been done, they will be brought back to the workshop in Gothenburg where the work will continue. For the rig enthusiasts: The first log in the video will be an angled mizzan yard (latine yard). The second will be the second half of our main yard. One of the logs will also be our new spritsail yard to replace the one that broke this summer. The current one will go back to being the spare spritsail yard. A big thank you to Södra , SnickarNilsson, JB Riggers and PG Kran AB!

Face to huge lipped face with a giant. Peeking under and within wrecks always brings the best surprises and this guy made our day. At 6ft (1.83m) long and roughly 400lb (181kg) this Goliath Grouper was large but not the largest of his pals. Growing on up to 1,000lb (454kg) and 8ft (2.5m) long, these dudes could have up to 57 million siblings from one mama in a single spawning aggregation and can live up to 37 years. We met this dude on the deep wrecks of Butler Bay in beautiful St Croix. Encrusted in live coral, surrounded in fish and voted one of the Best Caribbean Dive Sites by USA Today, The Deep Wrecks feature two wrecks in one dive. The Rosa Maria, a 177′ steel freighter in 70-110′ and The Coakley Bay, an oil refinery tug boat in 55-70′
