Preparing for the crossing to the Solomon Islands 🌴 — but nature doesn’t always cooperate! Cyclones are approaching, and finding a good weather window is getting tricky. While checking the boat, we discovered a small crack under the screecher pulley. A closer look revealed more damage than expected, so it’s time for some serious fiberglass repairs before we set sail. 🌊 Watch the full adventure in Clay Pot Fire Cooked Feast (Ep22) on Once Upon A Reef. 👇 Subscribe for more reef stories and island adventures. 💙 Support the journey on Patreon! #OnceUponAReef #PapuaNewGuinea #IslandAdventure #OceanAdventure #PacificIslands #BoatLife #SailingLife #TropicalVibes #OffGridLiving #NatureLovers #SurvivalSkills #BoatMaintenance #DIYRepairs #HiddenParadise #AdventureTravel

The Anchor Hitch is a super secure knot which tightens on itself when load is applied. It is really simple to tie, all you need is two round turns. One over the top of the item you are securing your fender to and the second one on top of the first. The Anchor hitch will become really tight making it hard to undo after load has been applied, making it a great option if you want to lock your rope tight against a fixed object. The team at bottom up boats has lots of addition hitches to fix your rope to a fixed object you can check out several of this in our Fender Knot Playlist.

Initially, we had planned to keep Hawila’s stern intact as it appeared healthy and had received massive work in the 90s. However, things are not always as they appear on wooden ships, and while trying to fit our beam shelves aft we realised the poor condition of the upper stern frames particularly. To make a good connection we now have to replace the stern frames which means that eventually nearly all ship’s timber will be replaced. After removing the poop deck, we dismantled the whole stern area in the last few weeks. Video edit: Karoline Hill Music: Break Your Lock and Key by Mini Vandals
