Bit by bit the project is going forward. After a f

Bit by bit the project is going forward. After a few oil changes it was time to make some room to disassemble the engine. Things progress slowly as there’s also the basic fall stuff: sails off, mast and ropes off, gear to the storage locker etc… but finally quite a few parts are off and we’re getting closer to the moment when we see what all is gone…

Vene alkaa olla perushyrskynmyrskyn. Homma edistyy pikku hiljaa muiden syyshommien lomassa… kohta aletaan näkemään mikä kaikki on entistä…

That time of the year. Beutiful evening the other day, white sails looking good against the azzurri blue sky. 😊

Syksy tulee. Tällä kertaa purjeet pois ajoissa. Hieno syysilta kuivatella purjeita tiistaina tumman sininen taivas taustana. Vähän mukavamman syksyinen fiilis kuin tämän illan myräkkässä! 😊

At the source! 😃 The starting point of most cases, massive amount of googling and tube videos… 😅

Internet kertoo mitä pitää tehdä. Toivottavasti löytyy vastaukset oikeisiin kysymyksiin! 😅

The F word. Multiple times. Water has found it’s way to places it shouldn’t… Looks like a beautiful beginning of yet another learning curve? And an expensive one aswell! 🤬😩😒🧐

Hitsin vitsi. Vettä öljyn seassa. Sitten saakin alkaa opetella koneen purkua ja kasausta. Vaikka uusiahan se pitäisi koko höskä, mutta ei oo nyt juuri varaa siihen… Oppia ikä kaikki! 🤗🤔

Imagine selling that white non-foldable boat cradl

Imagine selling that white non-foldable boat cradle weighing a few hundred kilos… buyers are not exactly lining up! But along comes this guy who takes one look at it and says, I’ll take it! I’ll chop it in pieces and weld it back together! Two hours and he’s on his way. What a guy! 💪💪💪

Toisille ihan pikkujutut ei niin häiritse. Tämä Äijä isolla Ä:llä osti pukin pois kuleksimasta. Palotteli sen rälläkällä ja viskasi peräkärryyn. Lupasi laittaa kuvan kun saa hitsattua taas kasaan. Näin sitä pitää! 💪

Huge thanks to Pete, Matu & Hannu for helping out with the engine and towing the boat to it’s place yesterday!

Iso kiitos Petelle, Matulle ja Hannulle avusta eilen! Vene saatiin paikoilleen ja syy moottorin entisestään heikentyneelle hapelle alkaa hahmottua…

What is Boat Fixers Anonymous all about?

The whole idea behind the group came to me a few years back when I was fixing the boat one night, late as usual. Things were not going forward as expected, on the contrary. I messed up somehow and things just didn’t work out as they should have. And I should have called it a day, but stubborn as I am, I just couldn’t give up. At the same time, I would have liked to have someone to share the story with.

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to have a community where people can gather and share their stories. And not the ones where things go just right, but the harsh reality on what happens in between the before and after photos, when things just seem to go wrong.

Then I thought, isn’t that what the boat clubs are for? 😊Yes. But too often it’s just you on the boat. No-one is at the boat yard, at least the ones who could give you a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. 😊For that reason, Boat Fixers Anonymous was created.

The sooner you find humor in failure the better! Sometimes a good laugh is needed for a rerun. So, join us now and have a laugh! 😊Share your 🛠🤬🤯😭😂🤣experiences with #boatfixersanonymous

Boat Fixers Anonymous is a virtual support group for boat enthusiasts in Facebook & in Instagram.

Hold on! A support group for boat enthusiasts?! - YES! Fixing a boat tends to be a sport, where you end up, not only losing your money, but also your mind! That's why Boat Fixers Anonymous was found to be a place where it's safe and fun to share stories with the likeminded community. And we’re not talking about the flashy success stories! Just the opposite, the harsh reality in between the before and after photos, when things just seem to go wrong. But with humor and the right supportive attitude, we'll get over whatever comes along and carry on with a smile! 😊

Do you have a fixing problem? Can’t quit, though you know you should? It’s OK, we can’t either. Join us now, share your story and have a laugh! 😊

Beautiful sunset the other day coming back to Helsinki.

Kaunis ilta saapua Helsinkiin viime viikolla. Tänä kesänä harvemmin nähty auringonlasku. 😊
