Project Crystal Jane
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2010
Hello beautiful people!
In 2018 I set off around Australia with nothing but a cheap bike, a trailer made out of a bathtub, and some camera gear. I was setting off on a 20,000km cycle in support of beyondblue and mental health awareness. The year before, I had a breakdown and lost everything, and this was my recovery ride. Unfortunately I only got about half way around when Covid hit.
Now I’m starting a new chapter along with my brother and nephew restoring my dad’s yacht ‘Crystal Jane’. Dad built her when we were growing up and she needs a lot of love after He struggled with maintenance in recent years.
Hope you enjoy the journey!

Unfortunately, strong winds ripped two solar panels off the roof last night. We also have a short somewhere in the boat so we have no power either fun times. #boatrestoration #boatrenovation

We had planned to do a heap of welding on deck today, but the weather didn’t play nice so we decided to start a good cleanup and get rid of some stuff. #boatrestoration #boatrenovation #sailboat #boatbuilding #boatlife #boating #yachtlife #yachts
