Si and Cat's big adventure. Map of our route. Well here you are. A finished blog! Only about 6 months late I’ve updated quite a few drafts, tweaked a few bits here and there and added some photos. There are links to any previously unpublished posts at the bottom of this page. We’ve settled back in to home by now, unpacked all. In the meantime, Si and I are working on a new project, to build a little boat and go fishing from Portscatho. It’s just an excuse to write another blog really, and you can fin...

An empty garage....: April 2014
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Trying to cook up some leather grease. The recepie I have specify badger tallow but there is not enought badgers around so I use sheeps tallow instead. Quite simple actually, 4 parts tallow (by weight), 2 parts bees wax and 1part pine tar. Melt it in a water bath and pour into jars. Worked fine and smells heavenly. We have had extremely nice weather over Easter, warm and sunny with very little wind. So I had time to do some outfitting I did not have time for last year. Building, D...

An empty garage....: February 2014
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Needed to do something with the boat despite it is still under cover so I decided to leather the oar locks. My oar locks are galvanized steel so they wear quite a lot on the oar leathers, so now I will have leather rubbing on leather instead. Marking on my trusty cow hide. Nailing the holes for the stitches. All done, now all I need to do is let them dry and grease them a little. Saturday, February 15, 2014. Good enough for me! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

An empty garage....: Another year
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2014/11/another-year.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Another year have past and it is time to put Xiao Feng to sleep for the winter. We have had a great summer, but I have not had the possibility to take her out as much as I would have liked. Well both her and me have many more summers in us 😄 (tried to publish this last week but for some reason it did not work.). November 16, 2014 at 8:38 PM. Sorry the season is over for you. Are you planning to do any modifications before next season? November 17, 2014 at 6:06 AM. CW Morgan re...

An empty garage....: Marking the waterline
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2014/08/marking-waterline.html
Sunday, August 10, 2014. Cleaning of bottom started. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog is about building a small rowing and sailing boat, it is designed by John Welsford and is called Walkabout. I will try to document my build in as much detail as possible, partly for my own memory but also because I have had great help and inspiration from other boat building blogs so hopefully other people might find this useful as well. Xiao Feng' was finally launched on July 6th 2013. A sting in the tail.

An empty garage....: July 2014
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. We have had a week of fabulous weather so I have had time to do a lot of sailing. Unfortunately works prevented me from spending the whole week on the water. So I did shorter evening sails on the weekdays and slightly longer during the weekend. Have been practising balancing Xiao Feng so that she can steer herselves and unless there are not too much waves and the wind stays reasonably constant it works quite nice. Trip Saturday a week ago, featured in my last blog post. I am planni...

An empty garage....: Unwrapping
http://anemptygarage.blogspot.com/2015/05/unwrapping.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Unwrapped Xiao Feng on Sunday, lovely day almost felt like summer. The kids even had their first dip in the lake (an extremely short one but still.). Not sure how much sailing there will be this summer since we are moving house end of June, but I am sure I will be able to squeeze in a few nice days. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, August 10, 2014. Cleaning of bottom started. All in all a very nice day on the water. Wind is dying out. Grumpy at the oars. Back on the trailer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This blog is about building a small rowing and sailing boat, it is designed by John Welsford and is called Walkabout. I am not a boat builder and really have no idea what I am doing, so the blog is a document of what I did not about how it should be done. Xiao Feng' was finally launched on July 6th 2013. A sting in the tail.
