This week on the podcast, Adventure on Deck…
This is where things got really hard.
After being kicked out of the shed in early June 2023, Abide went back
in the water… but it wasn’t yet habitable. It didn’t seem like we were far off, though,
with visions of being out on the water within the next couple of months. How wrong
we were!
In this episode, our captain Roland and I continue the story of Abide’s refit during the
second half of 2023. With constant delays, unpleasant surprises and our stress levels
rising, we were starting to lose faith.
I know this doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but we had to go there. We wanted to be
open about the whole story. Without the hard parts, it’s incomplete, and it’s absolutely worth listening
to you if you want to hear the behind-the-scenes on the challenges of such a large
project.
Highlights from this episode:
● Abide’s return to the water, and the challenges that followed.
● The harsh reality of a huge project like refitting a 136-foot sailboat.
● How we raised our spirits and pushed forward.
● The Antigua Yacht Show – our beacon of hope, and how that panned out!
