Episode 34:
Dear community,
the time has finally come. After a challenging period, both offline and emotionally, and having to remove our last two episodes (ep#32 + ep#33) due to the delicate phase of our boat repair, we’re happy to be back online and sharing with you again. It’s been a tough journey, but we’re hopeful that we’ve found a way to keep you updated with our story.
Please bear with us as we revisit some topics, especially for the new viewers joining us now. We want everyone to feel welcome on this journey.
We kindly ask you to avoid leaving any comments of blame, as we’ll have to remove them if necessary. Also, we hope you understand that, unfortunately, we can’t share more specific details about how the damage happened.
We’re excited to start posting videos regularly again and are deeply grateful for your patience and the kind messages we’ve received. It means the world to us. ♥️

In this episode, we’ll revisit the damage, give you some background on what’s been going on, and take you along for our first days at the boatyard while sharing what’s ahead. As a preview - next time we can show you a bit more of the process.
