History
Day 1405, one.
Day's pictures, Poetry
From deep
down
the darkest
caves
~
smoke
from baking
bread
and culture
~
spread
through the air
seeping
into all
our pores
Day 1369, looking back.
Day's pictures, Poetry
For millions of years
animals roam
in empty mind
and fields
~
than came
the tool
that carved
in fields
and mind
~
without that cut
there would
still
be a world
~
but
than again
for no one
to see
Day 1342, more forgotten.
Day's pictures, Poetry
A roof
the least appreciated
of what our ancestor
invented
~
more forgotten
then what came
from under its protection
~
culture
politics
~
maybe
looking at the stars
is not that bad
Day 1298, exhaust.
Day's pictures, Poetry
These massive structures
all around
us
standing on
ancient
bedrock
~
they are dead
till we breath
life
in it
~
this life
at the end
poisons
us
in this confined
interior
Day 1287, dirt.
Day's pictures, Poetry
I unearthed
my house
and try
~
to be
~
human

Day 1098, reflections.
Day's pictures, Poetry
From afar
you look bright, in red
I come closer
to greet
I can’t see
inside
from up here
through reflections
I see
your former
when we do
meet

On the port side Joost is busy changing more planks. We are still changing less planks than anticipated and it looks like it will stay that way.

This week Peder, the electrician finished his work on Brottsjø for this year. All the old switches, sockets and switchboards are cleaned, measured and repaired, if necessary using old parts where possible. Look at the results, they look like new again.

This week I worked with the new stern. The old stern didn’t fit so good anymore after so many years so I spent some time measuring the old Skin and inner stern/knee to make sure that the new one fits good.

Our smith has made a new part for the steering system. Chains from the steering wheel control this arm that is connected to the rudder, it was originally made by a smith so we used the same techniques to copy the old one.

Restoration of Brottsjø 7
Boat building
This week we removed the “egnerhus”. There are parts from different periods, from the 1960 to the ’90. Under the glass fiber roof cover, probably from the 70’s we found small nails indicating that there was originally a canvas cover on the wooden roof. The sink and poorly made table are from the 90’s and have to go. When Brottsjø was used for fishing there was also a second stove standing in the “egnerhus” used for cooking and drying cloth, you can still see the round hole.
