#pow Looking better. Still have the bilges left tho.

GM! Big day ahead; after days of cleaning, the engine bay will get new paint. Much needed #refit #boat

Those who claim bitcoin has no value should try wiring money overseas: I incorrectly filled out the form with bank details to pay for Tildes new motor. The money was sent back, subtracted fee for the transaction and exchange in both directions. This amounted to about 80$ The only redeeming quality is that I was lucky with who was helping me on the phone, so I got refunded. While filling in the form again, hopefully correct this time I am reminded how much easier, quicker and cheaper it would be with #bitcoin even without Lightning network.

GN friends! After days of cleaning I have started to paint the bottom inside the boat. Often the most severe rust attacks origin from the inside of a steel boat. As was the case with Tilde. Previous owners had sprayed a foam inside to get some insulation, but this also doubled as a sponge, trapping water resulting in galvanic corrosion. This now gets rectified with smooth white paint. This way any issues will be easy to spot. #refit #refurbish #grownostr #boat #pow

Good morning #nostr Long time no update, and as I’m getting more and more optimistic I see the end of demolition work on Tilde I discovered that the rust spots in the water tank was hiding pitting rust. Luckily most of the spots is not on the walls of the tank that is also part of the hull. But anyway, I’m discussing with myself whether I pull out the welder again #refurbish #grownostr

Good sunday #nostr Sometimes I need to remind myself why I have taken on this big project. So here are more pictures from sailing Tilde home. #sailing #grownostr

Good Sunday friends! Looking forward to go sailing again. Here is upwind sailing at the North Sea #sailing #grownostr

The battleground for the winter: Cleaning and painting bilges and tanks. Then I will install new electricals and a motor.

Diesel tank emptied. I wonder how much batteries I can fit in it. #refit #grownostr

Today I choose violence:

Seems like the puller is too weak. Stopping before the bendy bits kills me 🤨
