spent last week working on welding up the boat inside. its a little tricky but goes forward slowly. Maybe manage to weld up 1/4 of the inside sofar. Im working alone now due to easter holiday coming up,so itts a little more slow. by the way. that lamp is a optimus/petromax. Its hardly use any kerosene and gives light similar to 350 candles. Will be the future of lighting up the boat. Extremely clever system. zeyang hmm. by the way. is there not a single forum for sailors/dreamers/travellers inside Denmark?? I cant find any..

I don't know if theres any inside Denmark. but im shure theres some in Denmark "this forum" for instance is for sailors?
Otherwise search "google.dk" for " rejseforum - sejlerforum - bådforum - langturssejlads" or something likewise, im shure some will come up.

Hi Friends, here are some updates from sailing the farm collective. Had a canadian girl here last 2 weeks. actually she planned to stay only one week due to her grad-courses but unfortunately she got stranded for another week due to the volcanic ash stuff coming from iceland, so luckily for me at least we got more work finished up. Spent most of the last 2 weeks brushing and welding up the boat inside. That was indeed a boring step, but from now on,its more fun work coming up - like putting in frames, interor, sailsewing, deck etc. More people are coming up here in may/june and august, but we still have space available so if you are interested in joining, please drop me a line. (PS: no work in July due to holiday) zeyang

hi friends here is a short update from sailing the farm collective in middle of june. The summer is here now at last and bees are busy collecting delicious honey. Plan with bees is to expand hives so we are spending some time doing queen breeding. its a little more tricky than it seems at first glance, but cool to do. Then we have planted herbs in the garden and hopefully we will get a lot of healthy vegetables by end of summer. And then the most important news!! Boatbuilding goes happily forward. We are working hard welding in frames into the hull. and after a lot of fiddeling we are now down to bending one frame in 3 hours!! thats pretty fast when we spend more than a day with the first one. Next step is deck and then interior and sail-sewing. (mostly whole august on this step) Then, we wish you all a happy summer. If you are interested in joining we have space for august and onwards, fair winds and happy summer. regards sailing-the-farm collective!

Dear Friends. Sailing the farm tribe - Mid July 2010. At last, the frames are bend into the boat and soon finished welded up. That was one long and tedious work but now we are soon moving on to a much more exiting stuff - laying down the deck and start work on the interior - then also start to sew up the sails for the boat. There have been quite a response from last time and august is pretty much filled up with people coming up to help on boatbuilding and farming. Somehow the romantic touch of roaming the seven seas as a wannabe seagypsy seems to attract much more people than we ever dreamed of, so hopefully in future we will have more boats built and a real seafaring community. At least that is my wet dream! Then some farming stuff. The grey cat got 4 kittens some weeks ago, some very adorable small kittens. One is looking curious at the boatbuilding. Queen-breeding goes forward as planned. I think we will manage to more than double amount of hives this year - that is pretty good. It would not have been possible without help from a swedish boatbuilding girl which seems to fall in love with queenbreeding despite quite a few bee-stings during summer. :-) We have some beds free for september and onwards, so if you are interesting in joining this uber-cool sea-gypsy tribe project, feel free to contact us!

Sailing the farm tribe - Mid august 2010. Dear Friends. Its been a busy august. 9 happy boatbuilding girls and guys have been here during august and it has been quite busy. We have done quite a lot of work on the boatproject and have been workingon important but tedious small stuff like watertanks, coolingtank etc. We are also working on finding ecovillages on different continent which we will be a part of the plan when the journey begins. In short we will sail between ecovillages and change crew and stock up with food to reach other ecovillages on different continents. if you know about some ecovillages close to sea which could be interested in participate please inform us. But we will try to be as selfsufficient as possible onboard and will test a small scale hydrophonic solution to grow vegetables while sailing with as little water usage as possible. Not easy on a boat but hopefully manage to get some fresh food... (getting enough water is always problem on a boat) Then some farm news: We are expanding the garden to grow more tasty vegetables next year. Even if the fall is coming soon we will try to grow some more fast growing salads until snow is coming. Our extremely slow growing tomatoes will be moved indoors and continue with help of growlamp in our greenhouse. Bees are doing good and we have already processed some delicous honey from this year. (pure organic stuff) We have some space for late september and onwards if you are interested in joining this cool sea-gypsy project. Just drop us a line. Peace and love from Sailing-the-farm Then some pictures. (we are not always working, one picture is a bunch of happy boatbuilding guys after swimming in the brrr cold lake)

Sailing the farm tribe - Week 34 2010. Dear Friends. Late august 2010. 6-7 people from europe and south america has been here last weeks and we suddenly start to feel that summer is soon over. It has been raining almost every day last week but thankfully the boatbuilding shed is waterproof. We are now working on painting the barn and fixing the roof. Not easy when its 15 meter to the top, but with an expert english scaffold girl this part goes forward fast. Our small garden is soon ready for harvest and we have some blue and rasperry raids into the forest so we will hopefully not run out of jam for the next month or so. Last week the girls found out that a real boat should have a real galleon figure and since one of them are an metal artist she think it would be nice to cast it in aluminium. One of the other girls act as a model. Sofar it looks nice in plaster, and we look forward to see how real it will be in aluminium. That blue plaster stuff is amazing. Thanks to everyone who sent us tips for eco villages. Hopefully some will be interested in our journey and maybe even want to participate in our sea gypsy project. We have some space for late september and onwards if you are interested in joining this cool sea-gypsy project. Just drop us a line. Peace and love from Sailing-the-farm Pictures from last week: James and Jane Bond with license to screw, Miss plasterface (Our female galleon model) and our metal artist posing outside the boat.
