The current status: We’ve tested the fit, and our welder tack-welded the pipes while making final adjustments to ensure everything aligns perfectly 👌🏼 After that, we removed it again so he could complete the welding properly in his workshop. Now, it’s off to the electropolisher!✨ We expect to have it back in early April, and we can’t wait! #solararchitecture #solarpanels #solarenergy #diy #sail #sailing #sailboat #circumnavigation #reeloftheday

Vela was out of the water at 10:45, we started removing the leaky thru hull at 11:48, and by 13:40, the new thru hull was in place. Now, we’ve been waiting approx for 3 hours for the epoxy to cure so we can apply a couple of layers of primer! And tomorrow some antifouling 🎨 SUPER EFFICIENT! What do you think? We’re glad we had done this 14 times before tackling this thru hull with limited time. We’re happy to offer tips and guidance if you need it! Just send us a DM 😋 #sail #sailboat #sailing #jordomsejling #circumnavigation #båd #sejl #sejlbåd #sejler #sailboat #shortoftheday

We were limited in how much we could explore, for a few reasons: – We weren’t allowed to declare Anker, so he had to stay on board. – The forecast hinted at strong winds coming in… – …and we couldn’t risk being stuck, since we’re dropping off a crewmember on Friday. So, we made the most of it! Wandered the charming streets, soaked up the island’s calm and authentic vibe, and of course — ordered cider and fish n’ chips at the local pub. What more can you ask for? Guernsey, we’ll be back. Next time, with more time and a dog who’s allowed on land 🐶🌞 #sail #sailing #circumnavigation #shortoftheday #guernsey #explore #adventure #liveaboard #dog #cutedog
