We’re making the new Bimini Frame in the episode and taking a road trip across the Dominican Republic to explore Santo Domingo – visiting with fellow cruisers and searching for boat supplies (mostly polyester resin for the coming bimini hardtop!) It all starts with the old bimini coming down.
To tell the full story, we’re tired of having davits that don’t work – it’s so inconvenient! As nice as making a new set of custom davits sounds, to do the job right we really need to beef up the bimini frame… and as long as we’re beefing up the frame, maybe it’s time to consider a new hardtop bimini… oh and adding additional solar panels… AND maybe a wind turbine generator?!?!
This is what happens when you first arrive in the boat yard. We’re full of energy and ideas… let’s just see how long that lasts. 😂 One thing is for certain, we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us… so join us in the coming weeks for our hurricane season retrofit. There’s a lot of changes in store for Garuda!
Just a reminder: We upload as regularly as we can… but only if we genuinely have something to post. We know that’s not exactly “algorithm friendly” but it feels right to us. Unfortunately, this means we may not show up in your feed as often as you want us too. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, please subscribe to our channel.
