We Broke a Plank - Acorn to Arabella

Well... we broke a plank.
No worries though. We got it fixed and back on the boat. That's how we roll here... with the punches and not against them. We got a lesson in how far you can push a plank to bend and from now on will know what we can and can't do in that instance.
The are a of the stern where we are now planking has a lot more twist than in most other sections, and although we managed to get the plank in place, we then started hearing some crackling noises. So, Steve worked on replacing and re-scarfing that end of the plank so we could work on getting it back on the boat with only a minimal setback. We are then going to be steaming in the places which require an inordinate amount of twist. So there is that to look forward to in the coming episodes!

Remember folks! Molehills, not mountains!
