Back to the Gypsy | Shipyard Updates & Reuniting in Alaska

A rainy morning in the Wrangell Shipyard sets the tone for this next chapter aboard our steel schooner, The Alaskan Gypsy. After weeks of sandblasting, welding, and priming the hull to fight back against corrosion and electrolysis, Scott gives us a full update on the work, just in time for Audrey’s return from Maui. Join us as we shovel sand, talk through the restoration progress, drive through Wrangell to pick up Audrey, and step back into the shipyard to see the progress our our dreamboat restoration project. 🩵 From corrosion to connection, this journey is about more than just saving a boat, it’s about building our life!
