If you tuned into last week’s video, you may be aware that our engine died… Luckily, the engine itself turned out to be totally fine. There was an issue with water getting into the plugs that connect to the engine, which caused corrosion, but thankfully it was an easy and inexpensive fix.
Steve and Robin are doing what they can to make their way south—despite heavy winds and an unfavorable weather window. Oh, and a missing tender. That’s right, Victoria had disappeared during the night and made her way into shore. Steve suits up and paddles in the cold waters to retrieve her.
The timing is finally right to continue on. Steve and Robin experience an overnight with just the two of them. It’s the first time they are truly alone in the ocean—nothing to hit, nothing to worry about, and nothing around them for miles.
There are some big decisions coming up that will need to be made, and there are lots of opportunities to explore new areas as upcoming sailing plans are discussed. Steve stocks up on personal locator beacons to ensure that safety remains a top priority for the crew.
And a yummy meal is enjoyed by Robin and Steve as they celebrate their first Thanksgiving on the boat.

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
