Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back | S04E36

This week we realize that fixing our outboard engine might be more complicated than we originally thought, so we spend days researching how to proceed. Then when we attempt to install our Furlex roller furling unit from Selden, we realize that we messed up on some integral measurements which will set us back yet again. Amidst the frustration of boat projects, we attempt to look on the bright side, but it’s hard not to get down on ourselves. Atticus is a 30 foot Allied Seawind Ketch built by Thomas Gillmer in 1963. We bought Atticus for $5000 and have been slowly improving her and living aboard full time for the last 6 years.
