The journey continues! Ben joins the crew for a planned sail to Delaware. The hope is to be heading to Puerto Rico early December. Steve, Robin, and Ben have quite a few things to get done before the push south.

Steve starts on deck, adding more safety lines to the boom. The addition of whisker poles—which lock the sail into place when the wind is coming directly behind—will expand the downwind sailing options. The truck gets cleaned out before heading to storage, meaning the climbing gear needs to be consolidated. Puerto Rico has a thriving sport climbing community, which Robin and Steve hope to check out.

With everything needed finally on the boat, it’s time to see what the ocean has in store. Of course, you can’t compete with Mother Nature, and the weather isn’t always in their favor. Upon entering the busy shipping lanes in Newport, the engine makes an unfortunate, familiar sound… Ben returns home while Steve and Robin spend time in Newport waiting for a weather window.

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.
