June 5–6 – Since our boat projects were delayed another week, we made a last-minute decision to drive to North Carolina and spend the weekend with Jackie’s parents. It was a wonderful opportunity to slow down, enjoy family time, and take a short break before jumping back into boatyard life.
Sometimes the unexpected delays open the door to unexpected blessings.
June 8 – We drove back to Charleston with Papaw to get some extra helping hands on the boat projects.
June 9 – Another productive day at the boatyard! Papaw taught the girls how to sand and paint, and they helped sand the outdoor seating table before applying a clear coat. We inspected the progress on the boat, added the decal to the other side, and officially completed both decals!
Adam also got his first hands-on experience repairing fiberglass—a new skill to add to the growing list of boat projects and lessons learned along this journey.
Big milestones today:
One saildrive installed
Hull painting completed
Outdoor table refinished and clear coated
Decals finished on both sides
First fiberglass repair (in progress…)
Slowly but surely, Salt & Light is coming together. Every project teaches us something new, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and work together as a family. We can’t wait to show you all the upgrades and improvements
