We are finally back to boat work after losing our hooped shed structure over the winter. Now, the monumental task of getting this 48 foot sailboat watertight begins, starting with the cockpit. We've been at it for months now, but in this episode, we finally get this section of the boat glassed in. In real time, we are working on body filler and prepping for paint, so we can get the hatches and port lights back in before it rains anymore on us. For anyone who has suffered from sciatica, you'll understand the pain of boat yoga and why this video has taken me months to release.
Let me know in the comments of the video what you think. Good and bad, for better or worse, we want to hear your thoughts.

On a positive note, at least I hadn't made the coffee when this happened... and I wanted a new machine, but couldn't bring myself to buy one while mine was perfectly fine. Suggestions for ones that also do frothy coffees?

In September 2022 we purchased our project sailboat from Stoney Creek Ontario. This boat has never been in the water... will she float? We aren't sure, but a...

Back before school started, we made an impromptu stop at the Split Rock Lighthouse to show the girls some history. This is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the USA and has a crazy story behind her. Someone built a replica entirely of lego.

Bum cushions for the settee... #boatcushions #boatcushionsewing #boatcushionsupholstery #sewing #sewingproject #upholstery #diy #fyp #boatproject #projectboat #sewingonboats

Cushions are in place, need a bit of tightening on a few to keep the fabric taught. #boatcushions #boatcushionsewing

All 5 bottom cushions done... 2 more to go, but need to figure out the bench first. Now onto the back cushions. #sewing #sewingproject #sewingonboats #boatprojects

Don't cry over a broken coffee maker... just upgrade. #espressomachine #coffee #coffeeislife #delonghi

We bought a freeze dryer and tried it for the first time. Too bad the swedish berries did nothing, but the rest is delicious.

@brettkissel in Thunder Bay tonight, one hell of a show! #country #concert #livemusic #brettkissel #brettkisselconcert

Amazing concert tonight Brett! When I met Brett, it was many years ago at Dauphin Countryfest and he said I could "throw down like nobody else". I wonder if he remembers that. Do you Brett?
