The broken stove

A year ago, and in the end of the season of 2017, our stove decided it had enough and gave up. To get spare parts would cost more than to buy a new one and therefore we decided to do a re-make the whole kitchen. The old stove, or should we say "kitchen island", was a combined stove + sink, plus a never ever used fridge. We didn't even knew if it was installed correctly from the beginning, so we took the safe before the unsafe and through that away too.





 


With all the old stuff away, we had to plan how to fit the new kitchen and also, how to save as much as the old woodwork as possible. The bench lid had previously rested on the stove, now we had to build up a framework to keep the old cover up solution.

Seaborn

And once again we're seaborn! Because of the COVID-19 situation, our Captain Keijo did all the work himself! The crew embarked later in the evening, with lots of joy!

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.
