An actual floor! That is somewhat finished.
An actual floor! That is somewhat finished.
November 8, 2015 Boat, RenovationsSo we decided to tile the floor near the main entrance of our boat on the inside. There were 2 main reasons for this. To not damage the plywood anymore with salt and winter boots etc. To practice tiling. The first part is just as a matter of preventative maintenance which is good. The second […]
Back in white… err…
Back in white… err…
September 27, 2015 Boat, RenovationsYes this blog is still active. We just had a bit of a bumpy summer making it rather difficult to find the will to write. I won’t touch on that right now so I’ll just move on. The top of the pilot house has been an eyesore since we got Pathfinder nearly 6 years ago. […]
What I was up to over the winter
What I was up to over the winter
April 22, 2015 Boat, RenovationsYe old blog was sadly neglected over this past winter. Like in my previous post I did mention that there were a few reasons for this such as my never ending migraines, new work responsibilities, also there was a few things that cropped up that slowed down what work could be done. Jeannie is diligently […]
A quick fix
A quick fix
November 11, 2014 Boat, RenovationsThis is just a small post to show a nice little thing I did to help keep the boat warm. In our galley we have 2 doors that aren’t particularly well insulated or even draft tight. So usually what you can do to at least stop drafts is jam any gaps full of insulating foam […]
The refit (part 3)
The refit (part 3)
October 7, 2014 Boat, Captains Log, Log, RenovationsPosted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So as seems to be my habit lately this post is VERY late. And I’ve actually written this one before part 2… There are a few reasons for that some of which is to attempt to word it correctly as it goes over what happened at St. Catharines. Although in […]

The refit (Part 1)
August 16, 2014 Boat, Captains Log, Log, RenovationsPosted from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Although I haven’t been posting with any regularity lately don’t take that for a lack of effort on my part. I’ve been trying to sit down and do a decent post to update what has been going on but life hasn’t been…. exactly…. squared away lately. Work has a […]
The Snowball effect of boat repair and renovations
The Snowball effect of boat repair and renovations
June 9, 2014 Boat, RenovationsJust a heads up this post is less about progress and more about attitude. No pictures. Just me rambling. Enjoy! This winter being as hard as it was has made a lot of people that have been putting off renovations on their boat re-evaluate their decision. Many of which have started doing serious repair on […]
Spring decided to make an appearance apparently
Spring decided to make an appearance apparently
May 12, 2014 Boat, RenovationsFinally a good weekend descended on Toronto. Warm weather, no rain, blue skies… So naturally I had a migraine. Ugh. Despite that I, along with a lot of pills, decided to make the most of it anyways. So what did Jeannie and I get up to? Well we went boating on both days in our […]
I need a vacation from this vacation
I need a vacation from this vacation
January 3, 2014 Boat, News, Renovations, Weird PeopleLife, I have found, doesn’t give a rodents fart for your carefully laid plans. Case in point, this past month and a bit. Originally I had hoped that by now I’d be insulating the v-birth whereas I’m still trying to get around to attaching the portholes to the hull. So what happened? Let me regale […]
The big project
The big project
November 5, 2013 Boat, RenovationsSo originally I was thinking of doing this as 1 massive post but there is simply too much going on for it to all fit in 1 post. WHAT is it that we’ve been up to then? Well we’re building ourselves a master stateroom. Although this is a fairly large project in and of itself […]
