The Voyage of 'S/V Röde Orm' - Sweden

Come on board and take part in our adventures while exploring the world at the slow pace of a sailing boat. We left in June 2009, heading south to escape the northern winter... to start with. Currently in Algarve/Portugal taking it one day at a time.

Rebuilding the Galley (kitchen)

07 June 2009 | at the dock
Boat projects are a world of there own. We wanted to add a sea water tap beside the sink in the galley. This should have been a quick job if not... you always get surprised when tinkering on a boat. ''

It turned out to be that the wood on the counter had absorbed moisture for quite some time and was due for replacement. So some new pieces of board, cutting, fitting, epoxi to make it withstand the potential water penetration and then 'while we're at it' we'll just epoxi some nice mosaic tiles on the counter. The same style as a previous owner once did in the head (toilet). Sooo, these steps, one each day, will keep the 'Chef's' workplace messed up.
