Winter again. Main windlass to be renovated.
There is a long video on Youtube.

In short new bearings and seals. Stainless this time.
Windlass good as new!

2023 May and June where dry and very HOT.

So we stayed home and painted the house and buildt a new patio deck. Fixing with bikes and some Cars.


And other important garden jobs.
Windlass clean and back in the boat.

April, the snow is gone and I filled the trailer with all boat stuff and loaded the boat.
Ropes, fenders and more ropes.
Bought a new tablesaw and got a liquid problem in the man-cave... How to fix this?
I buildt a table of scrap pieces!

IRL Table Test with pancakes!
Then we went to Norway and watched some other boats.
then another table...
Then we went home to a resturant in Hamburgsund!
These where everywhere in 2023 fall :-)
Even in the lawn - I noticed when the lawn mover sprayed yellow mushrooms...
Summer 2023 was special. June super hot and calm winds. July and August was extremely rainy and everyday was a windsday...

So summer past quickly.
We did get to see a September full moon!
