This week our boatlife brings us to Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands, where we are anchored right next to Megayacht Feadship - formerly known as Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus'. We realized that Italy is not just a sailing destination for charter boats and cruisers but also a stopover for many superyacht owners, who want to get a glimpse of the volcanoes and beautiful coastline of Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea. I guess in the sailing lifestyle you always get surprised: One day you see Stromboli erupting right from the deck of your sailboat and the next day you wake up to have Steve Jobs' luxury yacht anchored next to you. But 99% of the time it is doing jobs in exotic places, covered in oil, salt and fiberglass.

I can not believe this is the final step on replacing the rotten deck! I've made it! I am so excited, I waited for this day for such a long time. All the hard work, and finally the deck will get finished :) I know I know it's only a small part of the whole boat progress and there is still so much more work that needs to be done, the list is long: new bulwarks, sanding-welding-painting the rail, fiberglass repairs on the main cabin, fixing leaking hatches, installing one new hatch, repainting the whole boat, underwater repairs on the prop shaft once the boat gets lifted again, changing the switchboard for the electronics and so much more. But this huge job, the deck, is finally coming to an END! IG:yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStromy

It's time to anti-foul the bottom of the boat, but first some sanding is required! This is the result. Next step is bottom painting
