My Summer Project
March 28th, 2011
“Small Fry”. That’s the name which will be given to my 28ft. Bertram once it gets into the water.
The Bahamas is renowned for it’s beautiful turquoise and azure water; it’s white and pink sandy beaches, just about year round balmy weather and great deep sea and reef fishing. With over 700 islands and Cays (pronounced “keys’) it is a cruising paradise for yachtsman, both local and international.
Living here and not being able to take advantage of these wonderful amenities has had a depressing effect on me, so I decided to do something about it and when the opportunity arose to acquire this boat, I jumped at it.
It is a rather old model, 1973 to be exact and I knew that it needed some work, but my enthusiasm was soon tempered by the reality of the magnitude of work necessary to get this vessel in tip top seaworthy shape. Little did I know what I was getting into?
The old adage that “if it’s too good to be true, it usually is” applied.
BUT, not to be undaunted by the challenge, it now looks like my summer project will turn into a years project, but in the end it will make a dream come true.
The work has now begun with the removal of both engines and transmissions, the generator, the air condition unit, all steering cables and throttle cables, water separators, instruments, cabin partitions, cabinets, counter tops, fuel hoses, thru hull fittings and all wiring. I never imagined that there could be so many wires in a boat.
In other words, I am preparing for a complete re-build. The learning curve is enormous, but at the end of the day I will have learnt a great deal about all of the systems which make the boat function properly.
I’m looking forward to cruising the Family Islands, the deep sea red snapper fishing, trolling for tuna and dolphin , reef fishing and to many many picnics with my family.
