Season V – Continue the dream

This year, the boat was still unfinished so I set about tackling the front end of the boat.

Of course in true style, my competitive edge got me in trouble and I broke my Achilles heel while playing floor hockey. I am getting old. This was very difficult to go up and down ladders and a full heal will take over a year they say. I sat through the winter on my heels but did focus on the front vberth, lifelines and still trying to figure out what is knocking on the prop shaft. I can’t go anywhere with a knocking shaft.

Ep 164 Last sailing in October – more people should sail in the fall, very predicable as compared to the spring and summer months – smooth and getting ready for haul out – Matt returned the favour and helped me get Northern Comfort back to the haul out shipyard for the beginning of season 6 ahead. A Journey to the sea.

Ep162-163 I am still plagued with a vibration in my prop

Ep 161 Mantus Anchor

Ep 160 Starlink

Ep 154 was out helping Matt with his nice Bayfield 23/25 sailing from Hamilton to 50 Point Marina

Ep 149 though to Ep152 is the start of the vberth – this was quite a challenge to get it to look good, straight and smooth.

Ep148 Making some progress

Ep 147 Replacing the lifelines – honestly this was very difficult as I was still in a heal restrictive boot

Ep 146 explaining the broken achilles and my difficulties
