Masha is solo-rebuilding a sailboat in Montenegro through a wet, cold winter, and this update covers one difficult week of interior work. She bought a car battery to power tools and test the fuel pump circuit for the engine, substituting a small bilge pump in place of the undelivered fuel pump to check the wiring.1:56 Cutting bulkheads with an angle grinder while crying from exhaustion, she describes the emotional weight of a rebuild where every task reveals five more.5:32 Practical work completed during the week includes sealing portlights with waterproof tape to stop rain ingress, treating the toilet compartment the same way, and placing a fan heater in the bilge to dry wet wood before cleaning it with a vacuum and hard brush.20:04 She also cleaned and serviced the angle grinder, which had seized with glue residue.15:36 The engine box emerged as the next major unknown — she is unsure whether to rebuild it entirely or patch the sound sections.12:57 Masha frames the emotional low points not as failure but as an expected part of any long solo restoration project.5:49
