A few months, back we had requested from Alexandre at Lagoon inside, if he could get some videos of the factory posted. To our surprise this morning, two wonderful narratives were online.
It is always fun and instructive to see where the boats are really made, and how it’s done. A fairly streamlined process [...]
Warning! Before you watch this video:
call your banker and ask him to refuse any loan you request in the next two weeks. Ask your wife to give you a reality check once finish and run to buy a lottery ticket because you will need all the help you can master.
We know we [...]
While my parents were visiting my grandmother, they saw a catamaran going through the village. Of course the phone call came quickly, is that a lagoon? Why are they going through here?
Over the last year, I have tried to identify exactly where the factory was located, the answers were always vague and at [...]
Reading and learning is good and too much of it sometimes lead to discovering great ideas that you never thought possible! In other words, we are going to upgrade our humble and sweet Lagoon in a way *V* has been dreaming of for a while…
So : ”What is it?”
Well, let me tell [...]
Admittedly theory and practice are the best tools to develop our seamanship, so when this morning we left the mooring buoy with wind blowing from 18-20 knots one reef was left in. (We learnt that one during our spring escape) On the practice side, our assignment of the day was tacking! Easy enough, you might [...]
I would have never thought this expression more valid than today. We are really the sum of our experience. In all the actions, I took in the last three days, I had to dig deep or not so deep in my previous life.
Example Number 1:
Ordering and delivering metal for the solar [...]
To have a vision and to be able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together, it continues to amaze me! All I had to say was : I want something like this, on an angle like that, just so it can do something like so… This was pretty [...]
Since we took position of our “letitgo” we did notice sporadically some water in the starboard bilge, meanwhile port side was always dry! Which evidently intrigued us to the most! We had a mystery leak, where was it coming from?
As we all know, when you first move in to your boat you are [...]
A few days ago, our daughter complained that our blog is not fun it’s just about fixing things! True, there isn’t photos of nice bikinis, or white sandy beach or dolphins swimming at the bow…
However, before all that can happen we need to build our nest! And also as a reminder the purpose [...]
I had the good fortune to escape for 2 days to the boat, or my cave as *V* graciously says! More realistically, though, some tasks are better done when no-one is around, and tools can be laid around for hours with all the mess that is required for this kind of activities… Needless to add [...]
