The sand blasted misses

During 2012-2013 we decided to get rid of all the old bottom paint. However that was project way harder than expected, therefore we decided to get professional help and get it sand blasted. However, now this season in 2020 when we took away the jetty we realized the "sand blaster guy" have missed some spots as he hadn't taken away the jetty.

So when Kalle has taken care of the wooden parts (jetty and stairs) Keijo has re-done the bottom surface and painted those exposed spots.

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.
