A hook for the dogs!

With two ship dogs onboard we have some challenges to keep them inside the boat as they want to guard it from the outside. To be able to tie them inside the boat has become more and more necessary. One of the smaller works on the boat this summer were to install a hook...

The Tiller

There's two ways to control the Skäreläja; either "inside" the pilothouse or in the stern. And if you steer the boat from the stern, you need a tiller. When our boat arrived from Sweden we had a provisional solution for the summer (of 2012) and a piece of oak... That provisional solution have been in the boat till this summer when I finally realized and accepted, the new tiller would not be done with magic. I have to do it myself. And even if I'm not a real woodworker the result turned out to be better than I hoped for!

Bring it on, father Winter!

Yesterday was a sad day. The summer is official over. Winter is coming. The boat is now up and covered, engine is preserved with glycol. We're ready for the winter. The first years it took a weekend, two days, to build the structure and cover the boat. Yesterday we did it in less than six hours. We have begun to get the routine.
