My name is Olivier.

I am a master boatbuilder, a teacher and an hardcore sailor.  I intended to sail my hand-made cold molded wooden  boat named BRESKELL through the famed North West Passage during the summer of 2019 again.

Joshua, my new crew member is onboard. Together we  have done a fair amount of work.

Surgery in a boatyard: part 2 (5-2)

Two talented artists decided to intercede on my behalf.  Neptune alone was not powerful enough. Not anymore the rude bone setter approach previously used. No big hammer, no screwdrivers, no saws nor wood splints.  The skill of the best plastic surgeon is now required.

When surfing on the crest of waves in 2018,  “Breskell’ song was not enough to persuade Neptune. The North West Passage remained tightly closed.   Two talented artists decided to intercede on my behalf.  Neptune alone was not powerful enough.  Why not appeal to its northern counterparts:  Njörd, Thor, even Odin?

Spring 2019 at last!  Breskell is waiting for us in Newfoundland.  I hope our Canadian friends took good care of her in the Royal Yacht Club of St John’s, the NF capital.
