Hi guys

This week's video is the last from the US. We got to check out a really cool ongoing refit of a Deerfoot 61. Color me jealous! ;) 

In real-time news. Things are starting to pick up speed in Trinidad. I have good leads on most of the needed materials - thank you, Yussuff! :) There is one "unknown" that's making planning what to do a little hard. We don't know precisely when Ava will get back. Her going to Budapest with her sister might not work out (due to the SAG-AFTRA strike). If she comes back sooner than planned, we would like to start sailing right away. If we start a new, somewhat extensive refit this summer, it would be nice to maximize the last bit of sailing we will be doing for a while. The good news is that we should find out on Friday whether Ava is going to Budapest. Once we have figured that out, we know what size of projects I can commit to. I have some nice big ones in the mix - like, for instance, finishing the aft cabin - but I don't want to commit to that before I know if I have time. 

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for your support :) Stay safe :)

That is an impressive refit! Love the Deerfoot design. Also, amazing keel! 😉

I remember when Johan went to look at a Deerfoot during his purchase process. I was hoping he would buy that one so I could watch it perform and get the attention he would give it. Apparently, a lot of us have admired Steve's designs! I guess it cost too much. Yet the sale of his Najad 440 gave him enough money to buy a: farm, car, another sailboat, and fix up all of them, before starting on purchasing a fortune in supplies for this build!
