A huge project like restoring a 136-foot sailboat, doesn’t happen in a bubble. While our captain, Roland, and the crew were hard at work with Front Street Shipyard in Belfast all sorts of unexpected challenges were cropping up that made us put the whole endeavour into perspective.
In this episode, we dive back into the refit of Abide during the winter of 2022.
As the refit continues, Roland and I share a few stories behind the scenes: from the rigorous crew training that Roland has to undergo, from firefighting to spending 5 hours in a freezing pool, to some more personal trials.
Highlights from this episode:
- The impact of life’s challenges on us and the project.
- Training for the unexpected - what a sailing crew has to go through to become certified.
- Coping with sudden loss and other stressful life challenges.
- The process of Roland securing a visa in order to get the project underway.
- The moment Abide was kicked out of the shed.
