I have been a liveaboard sailor for the past 11 1/2 years, 9 1/2 years away from a dock....my girlfriend "Trish" who's been in my life for the past 8 years, and I love the good life aboard S/V Morning Star. She's a 34' custom Bruce Roberts cutter rigged sloop. We both have part time jobs and plan within the year to leave Ft. Myers and head south to the keys and then later to the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.....I tell a lot of people this kind of living isn't meant for everyone and THANK GOD it isn't.....We LOVE IT and like meeting up with other sailors....
Current location:
Ft. Myers Florida
Destinations visited:
Key West, several times, Marathon, and Dry Tortuga.
Looking to:
Fixing up the boat, which we all know is a never ending project, and getting out of Dodge........

"I had to replace my sheeve on both sides and really struggled to get the bolts out. Once I had them out, each was bent thus the challenge. I ended up stripping one or two of the hex bolts and used an angle grinder to square off the head of the bolt…"
The starboard side of my Traveller is starting to lift up. I am guessing to remove the center 5mm Allen bolt that goes through the middle of the sheeves, although I cannot get it to budge, to access it. Does anyone have any experience with this??Thanks Dave B43 Shore's AdriftSee More
