I figured a lot of people might be in a video watching mood tomorrow ... ;)

I made a stupid mistake and ordered the wrong size machine screws to use with the new hatches. Stupid, stupid Mads! ;) I was able to get a had on 14 at a local hardware store but that was all they had. That was just barely enough for one hatch. One is better than none - I guess ;)

I'll be spending tonight aboard Obelix with Jökull. He's not that impressed by fireworks and seems the calmest when it's just the two of us aboard Obelix. I hope all of you get to ring in the new year in style :)

A happy new year to all of you and thank you so much for all your support in 2017! You guys rock! :)

Sail Life - Installing the new hatches, part 2 - DIY boat refit

In this video, I install the first of the three new hatches from Vetus. Butyl tape is used for bedding the hatch.
