Many people dream of adventure. Some are offered by fate the opportunity to make those dreams a reality. Only a few will seize that opportunity and build something truly amazing.
Steve and Alix have such a dream: to build a boat and sail it around the world.
They have the opportunity: a plot of land with good timber, access to the right tools, and in this modern age all the knowledge is there for the learning.
And they’re doing whatever is necessary to bring their dream to life.
Their boat is the Arabella and she will sail the world.
Here’s a short video about some of their progress:

You can follow their progress on youtube. So far they’ve gathered a ton of lumber and cut it into boards and beams, roughed out the main keel beams, poured and shaped the lead for the keel, and they bought a once-beautiful old boat to use as a source of parts; mainly for the bronze fittings and mahogany interior.
Things slowed down over the winter as it was too cold to do any painting/sealing work on the massive keel beams, but now that spring has sprung we expect the pieces of the keel to come together and the Arabella is going to start to take the shape of an actual boat instead of a collection of boat parts.
I hope you check out their videos, and if you're suitably impressed consider tossing some bucks into their Patreon.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Feel bad for his family. I know he has a wife and step kid who he moved to the states for. I hope the best for them. Cancer, its a fucker.
I have so many friends who want to take a boat around the world/whatever and have no idea what it actually involves. I would much rather drive.

neither of them have actually sailed
sailing lessons aren't in the cards for a couple more years lol
I get the impression, though, that these dudes are aware of how unromantic the realities of sailing are.
(And it'll probably help that they'll mainly get to pull into port greeted by fans and wellwishers!)

Mod Dom sounds like the worst fetish ever
"Arabella will be a Colin Archer inspired, double ended ketch, designed by William Atkin, displacing 25,000 lbs and having berths for up to 5 people, but which can be sailed single handed."
apparently not too big!
