Suddenly it was an early morning in May and I was standing on the deck of Liberta and I was nervous.
Renewing The Electrics
The most important job this year was renewing the electrics and installing new equipment. For the job we got help from our friend Timo, without who this job could not have been done.
Easy Task Made Difficult – Case: Replacing The Zincs
One easy task that changed difficult was changing the zincs on the CD20 saildrive. Easy tasks just didn’t seem to work out…
More Light With Painting The Interior
Fixing the interior gave the boat a whole new look and increased coziness of the boat substantially.
Varnishing The Floorboards Gives A New Look
Then we got to the varnishing itself… One round took only a bit over an hour as all the boards could be done in a row.
Well Planned Is Totally Undone
Long lists were made on what skills and information we must acquire before taking off. Also endless list were made on improvements that should be done on the boat and all the gear we still need to purchase.
Fall Activities
At fall Liberta visited the Hopeasalmi dock, where the electrics were checked and some of the damages caused by the short circuit were fixed.
Not Just Fixing The Boat
At the end of the summer we got to enjoy the sailing itself and few nice trips were made.
Improving The Interior
The first painting jobs brought already a lot more light and confirmed that we are on the right path. The amount of work needed is so huge, that it was good that we started one piece at a time
Learning New Things
When you do something for the first time, it’s a guarantee that you’ll learn something new. That was the case here too.
