Steve și Robin sunt dornici să plece spre Newfoundland la sfârșitul acestui an. Cu toate acestea, înainte de a naviga spre nord în călătoria lor lungă către Canada, există câteva lucruri importante care trebuie abordate pentru a asigura o navigare lină și, desigur, câteva conforturi. În acest episod, Steve și Robin își parcurg lista de lucruri de făcut și explică munca care trebuie făcută înainte de a putea naviga în siguranță cu Arabella către Newfoundland. Din fericire, lista de lucruri obligatorii nu este prea rea. Steve trebuie să încheie niște lucrări de întreținere pe punte, să reconfigureze viteza de trezire și să schimbe alternatorul, să instaleze sistemele de radar, sonar și AIS și să finalizeze alte câteva sarcini. Lista de lucruri de făcut a lui Robin include instalarea încălzitorului de apă caldă, optimizarea zonei de depozitare a alimentelor și conectarea energiei de la mal. Totul este posibil. Este un echilibru greu de a finaliza proiecte pe barcă, de a termina munca, de a petrece timp cu familia, de a găsi timp pentru a te antrena și de a-l distra pe Akiva. Dar sunt aventuri de trăit, așa că să trecem la treabă! ––––––––- Înscrieți-vă pentru buletinul nostru informativ prin e-mail: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella a început ca o barcă de lemn proiect de construcție în Granby, Massachusetts. Steve a început călătoria ca un constructor amator de bărci din lemn, creând o barcă cu pânze din lemn de 38 de picioare în curtea sa: Ingrid a designerului William Atkin cu o platformă Stormy Petrel. Aceste videoclipuri urmăresc călătoria de la tăierea copacilor, la măcinarea cherestea, la ridicarea, la turnarea chilei de plumb și acum navigarea cu barca – împărtășind detalii despre prelucrarea lemnului, tâmplărie, fierărie metal, construirea de scule și întreținerea uneltelor pe care le comandă bărcile tradiționale din lemn. Acest proiect de bricolaj final continuă dincolo de magazinul de bărci, în timp ce Steve și echipajul călătoresc și învață să navigheze la bordul bărcii din lemn realizată manual pe care au construit-o. Glumesc cu toate astea, acest canal este despre o Laika siberiană pe nume Akiva. ––––––––– Dacă sunteți interesat să susțineți/ajuta, iată câteva modalități: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/ cum să-ajuți Acorn la lista de dorințe a Arabellei: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat acceptă A2A!

Lista lungă de lucruri de făcut înainte de a naviga spre nord – Episodul 301 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
Ben is taking over answering comments soon, and this is my last official week as he’s on the road, but I’ll keep popping in to answer technical questions and of course to say hello to everyone I look always forward to seeing week to week. I love the community we’ve built here. You’re an important part of making it so great! —Anne
Steve looks quite stressed. My best wished for him and his Mom, and, of course, Robin.
Hey Robin, if you're looking for help, my daughter does remote marketing.
The original plan for the food storage was a good use of space. If there's nothing else that can go there, perhaps a shelf/drawer on slides that pulls out to within easy reach? No wasted space.
Thanks for sharing this with us ❤
Starlink. Don't leave home without it!
The truth of sailing in northern waters.Robin you are spot on with honey-do list . As much as you prepare on shore for how you live on the water are two different things . The more you sail the more you'll will get it correct .
Good luck to the both of you.
Robin is so funny. She says "…it'd be nice to have…", and it sounds so innocuous. At my age – and I'm a good deal older than either of them – I know when I hear an executive 'request' from my other half! It has the same force as "Do. It. Now." 😆 Robin's eyes when she asks "Do you think it's possible, honey?" Oh, man, she's such a keeper! You really are a very special couple, managing all the things you do.
How many tools can go off the boat asked by a woman to a man is for me, an old man, similar to asking how many woman's shoos can go off the boat. 🤣 I as man would think "what? we have not even enough tools! " Don't try to respond with reason. I just enjoy the episode. They make the right choices.
You need a bigger boat.
Feels like the hard reality of living with someone on a small wooden boat is setting in.
It's cute watching Robin's suggesting of ways of turning a boat into a livable home.
What ever 6ou build and do , make the boat more sea safe , or kind , it will end up in a mess and break.
In lieu of doors being completed, some adhesive hooks on the inside of cubby frames and stretch nets can help control stored items and is a ten minute job.
This episode was an eye-opener for me as I live alone on my boat and I have my own quirks. Having lived in both caravans and on a boat I have a horror of unventilated spaces! My boat was refurbished by the previous owner as a leisure boat with lots of storage, more suitable for weekend use. To cut a long story short, I replaced bed-boards with slats, all the lockers had sizeable holes cut in them etc, as damp was winning. My favourite solution would be louvred locker doors, but that's a future job 🙂.
Compromise is so compromising.
I live on a narrowboat in London, have been watching for a couple of years now. I have a small propane water heater – extremely fuel efficient, and very quick hot water. I'd imagine install for propane/gas leaks would be an extra headache, but have you considered it?
You’re sounding like a real couple now, lol!
Maybe for the area behind the stove that Robyn can't reach, you could build a set of lockers and mount it on a set of full extension drawer slides so it can be pulled forward to retrieve items and pushed back to stow when the stove is on use.
Adjusting to life in a small space will reduce your needs. Take note, Small spaces are one thing, but, small vessels, that are set up to be self sufficient and Full time living space, in the literal middle of nowhere……..will ALWAYS be cluttered. This is because of the simple fact that you can not walk or ride to the store every time you need something so, the boat becomes filled with Necessities and thusly, every time space opens up from something you do not need, something you do need takes it's place. The only decluttered boats I ever boarded were part time vacation boats.
You haven't been married long but the Honey do list is automatically on the Have to do list.
My heart cringed (just as Steve's) when she mentioned to get rid of "some" tools 😀 Are you aware that you are talking to a man who built a workbench into his living room? 😀
There comes Arabela II, with soooome extra feeeet! ;))
No such thing as too many fasteners!
Guys, married almost 40 years, we still have these conversations!
Get use to it👍There’s a lot more to come😂😂😂
I understand Steve's need to carry spares and fasteners just in case. Yesterday while visiting a relative in another town 60 miles away I was asked to "have a look at" a washing machine which had a leaking pipe. It just needed a sealing washer. Now I know I have a selection of different sizes and materials at home in my workshop. In fact I also have the means to make one if necessary. I spent 2 hours trying various suppliers in a strange town before I found what I needed. A simple 5 minute job turned into a marathon. Imagine the scenario if it was offshore and life depended on it.
You guys look tired! Take care of yourselves and don't overdo it!
– This strikes me as a Huge to-do list.
– Perhaps it is just the amount of small busyness of it all that I register.
For life-lines may I suggest a flat line of some suitable material. A round rope or wire is easy to step on and roll causing a slip.
There's a power solution I think is really good, but I'm in the small minority on it so … for what it's worth.
Moving your old alternator from the engine to the prop shaft, and letting the prop spin when you're under way, would mean you can convert sail power to electricity whenever you're under sail. When you're not under sail, you're either motoring (and the alternator still works fine) or there's shore power.
Feathering props are great too, and let you sail a little faster. But the driveshaft alternator just a very reliable way for a sailboat to have plenty of power. It might even save you the mass of extra batteries.
You can still do some consolidation of the fasteners.
For example, all the bronze screws/nails can go in one container, all the stainless can go in one and all of similar type other fasteners can go in one. While the containers might be a little larger, there will be significantly less of them.
