Orange You Glad We Didn't Keep the Blue? – EP. 68
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, we share a major update on the Salome refit and some of the surprising decisions that have come with it. From self-tailing winches and storm shutters to galvanized rigging and a pilot house painted search-and-rescue orange, the boat is changing quickly, and not always in the ways we originally expected.
We talk about the challenge of balancing the traditions, costs, safety, and aesthetics required to sail around the world. Along the way, we discuss burnout, momentum, and the strange feeling of watching a dream slowly become real. Sometimes the biggest changes aren't happening to the boat at all.
