You know, I promised to blog more often… and here we are. Well, I know I can’t make promises and then not keep them. To be honest though, I haven’t made much physical progress. There has been a ton of planning, designing, making decisions and ordering stuff though. […]

After getting a slip for Away in Almerimar it is time to get her up on the dry to inspect and repair any damage to the keel. Unfortunately, the boatyard only operates during the weekdays and as I arrived on a Saturday morning I had to wait. But […]

The last few days I’ve been day skipping, moving during day, finding somewhere to anchor, sleep. Repeat. As I left Porto I was eager to get out sailing again, the weather haven’t been as cooperative though. The wind has been almost near non-existing and the swell coming from […]

As I wrote last night, today is sail repair day. It isn’t anything super bad, but the two top sail slides was broken and I don’t want to take any risks. As I got all the pieces that I needed yesterday I started after breakfast by removing the […]

This week has really passed by in a blink! Mostly I’ve been trying to finish off the necessary jobs I have to have in place before I leave for Spain. I’ve bought a 33 kg Rocna anchor, even if they said that it would be hard to get […]

Yesterday was as beautiful as it was promised here in Kinsale. Sunny, warm and a wind hovering around 10-20 knots. I was in luck, because this was the day where I was to take Away out sailing again, and I couldn’t have asked for more. This time I […]

You know, there are a few things that just has to work. One thing is the engine. On a sail boat, really? Yes, really. Well, maybe not on all sail boats, but on mine. Not only because I need it to get around, but also because it is […]

Alright, the day to splash is getting closer as we speak, and I add and remove things on the things-that-should-be-done-before-splash-list as I go. First of all I needed to go to Cork once more, since I need to repair the dinghy the right way, but also because I […]

Yesterday I jumped on a new project that would be very beneficial if I can get done prior getting Away into the water – making sure that the dinghy doesn’t leak. To be honest, last time I inflated it I thought it had been target practice for someone […]
