Our biggest project yet! Our old bottom paint was failing and our thru hulls were corroding! We hauled out at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard to take care of both problems at once. Doing most of the work ourselves, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into! Incredibly hot weather and back breaking labor, after 4 days the thru hulls were complete and we finished prepping to start the paint. Thankfully we didn’t sand the bottom paint ourselves. Instead we wanted to start fresh and got the bottom professionally blasted down to bare gel coat. After days prepping the bottom of the boat we toiled for two MORE days to apply four coats of Interlux 2000 barrier paint followed by two coats of Trinidad Pro. We thought this was going to be easy peasy, right? I’ve painted the entire inside of my house, how hard could it be to paint a boat? We were so wrong… Constant crouching on our knees then standing back up - lather, rinse, repeat… The Trinidad Pro has so much copper in it, holding that heavy roller full of paint above our head for hours was brutal! On the bright side, we both got a full body workout two days in a row 🤣 We finished up the last coat of paint around 9pm and it wasn’t until the next morning that we could appreciate the fruits of our labor, it was so worth it. 💙 Will I ever volunteer to paint the bottom of another boat…? Oh, heck no! If you’re wondering how much money projects like this cost, check it👇🏼👇🏼 Thru hulls = $800 Barrier paint = $1000 Anti-fouling paint = $1050 Bottom blasting = $2000 Yard fees = $1650 Misc parts, supplies, & consumables = $300 TOTAL without labor = $6800 Cost of therapy = TBD…… 😵‍💫 #boatwork #sailingcouple #beneteau411 #sailboat #boatproject #diy #shorts

Only 1 hour sail away from Dubrovnik, in the Adriatic Sea, are the Elaphiti Islands. This archipelago, consisting of 13 small islands, has 3 large islands which are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. We visited all three islands. Koločep is the smallest island and also the southernmost permanently inhabited Croatian island. We filmed with our dron the bay in which we were with our catamaran on a pier. The typical Mediterranean vegetation is clearly visible here: due to the many dry and warm days, there are many pines (so conifers instead of deciduous trees), palms, olive trees, stately cypresses and succulents are also common. in the Middle Ages, Koločep used to be an important shipbuilding site. For instance 2 members of Christopher Columbus’ crew of the year 1492, were sailors from this island. Now about 230 people live here.
