Starting our ENGINE after 8 MONTHS in the boatyard | Ep. 5

During Ragdoll's delivery to Scotland, the exhaust was flooding the boat and it was ripped out as soon as she arrived in Scotland. Now, the fun job of trying to wrestle the new exhaust hose back into place is here. Our engine has sat in the boatyard, in many pieces for over 8 months. Through our time in the boatyard we have found many leaks, some downright dangerous, so we replaced A LOT of hoses amongst other things... This week we are finally putting our engine back together and will attempt to start it for the first time in over 8 months. IF all goes well, we will be ready to launch Ragdoll for the first time, NEXT WEEK! It was a busy, exciting and slightly nerve wracking week in the boatyard for us!

We are a family of three with three dogs, sailing the coasts of Scotland, exploring one island at a time – for now! There is no set route or plan. We will go where the wind and life take us. We have two golden retrievers and a bernese mountain dog – Hachi, Luna and Meems who sail with us. We sail on a 1995 Gib’Sea 472 who we are in the process of refitting, making our own and preparing for a big adventure. Connect with us!
