Welcome to our first “HOW TO”… WOW is it possible we actually have learned a skill we can share with others?! HOW EXCITING! We mastered the art of repairing osmosis blisters on our sailboat’s hull and so we wanted to share the process with YOU in hopes it may help some other folks really freaked out by the process (it turns out it really isn’t that hard!)
Here is our episode where we mark and “pop” each blister the day the boat came out of the water: https://youtu.be/xAZt6pfaISQ
Here is our episode where we grind and grind and grind the darn blisters off: https://youtu.be/K2DuMW1AnRw

About Us: Cruising the World with SV Meraki! We are THREE Generations coming together to create the Cruising Meraki Project. Join Kevin, Shawna, Mick, Kate, Thomas and Bentley's sailing adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that leads them to meet wonderful people, experience new cultures and see the world in a whole new way. We hope you enjoy our project as much as we enjoy sharing it with you!
What is the Cruising Meraki Project?
The “Project” began back in 2018 when we first decided to start working towards a goal of sailing the world as 3 generations. The term “Project” is fitting for us as we are working together collaboratively to achieve a common goal.
meraki [mer-ah-kee] (verb) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.
THREE Generations, TWO Boats, ONE Dream!
