Maiden voyage: The Beginning of Our Sailing Story - Just building BareBare - Ep 20

In this episode, we complete the rigging process and eagerly hoist the sails for our maiden voyage. A gentle breeze, leads our little ship and her crew silently between the Islands close to her homeport at Bygdøy.

BareBare has her own mooring close to all the museums at Bygdøy. We pull her closer to the pier with a rope and this way we can easily hoist sails and other equipment on-board. The area of Bygdøy, close to the Norwegian Maritime Museum, Fram and Gjøa Museum and maybe the most famous on The Kon-Tiki Museum is a very beautiful area. We are a short ferry ride from the centre of Oslo and close to some lovely little islands; Hovedøya, Lindøya, Nakholmen and Gressholmen. A few of the islands even have small restaurants that we can visit. The local tourist boat has even started sailing close to BareBare, telling her story to tourists.

We finish the leather work in this episode on the fork/boom using copper nails. The oak has gotten many layers of varnish. Our steering position is down towards the heads, the toilet - in one of the two toilets this exclusive little boat is so happy to have!

We have a nice day on the fjord and in the afternoon, when the wind slows down we row her back to the buoy.
