An Update From Granby - Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat

- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Steve will be staying in Granby full time for the near future to be with family. Here's an update on what that means for videos going forward for now. Next week, look out for a video on a visit Steve made to an Oyster farm back in Maine. And if Steve is able to get away again, he's hoping to head back north to pick up Victoria and bring her back to Granby to do some repairs and hopefully get the sailing rig put together at long last.

Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat-sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.

Anyone who has gone through this completely understands and we send you our love and support.
AMEN!
Fuck Cancer
Even those who haven't are usually understanding too.
FWIW, anyone who hasn't and has a problem with that has no soul...
Indeed. My hear goes out to all of you!
That sigh at about the minute mark, I felt that.
Don't feel any pressure to create content. Be with your family and we'll be here when you're ready.
me too
Your focus is in exactly the right place. As much as I enjoy your program what you are doing is far more important than entertaining us. 😢Take care of your selves and your mom, we will still be with you whenever you return to the boating videos. Best wishes, love your vlogs.👍
I'm sure I speak for others in saying if you feel the need to shut down then do so, we will be here when you get back.
This is something I was blessed to help my parents's through. They both died with dignity at home 18 years apart. Having the oppurtunity to be with them through their journey was a gift many don't get and some wont take. After it is over they still live on inside of us, Good luck and God bless!
I wish you and your family what peace you can find. There is never any easy way through such times sd these. Hug all your loved ones.
I’m sure you and Robin will face this difficult time with the same strength and positive attitude you have always displayed.
Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.🙏❤️🙏
So glad that you get to be with your Mom in this last stage of life. Your exactly where you need to be.
Take all the time you need. RUclips isn't going anywhere. Family should always come first. God bless you and your family.
Take a break buddy! You’ve been relentless for years! Thank you so much! Time for family is the MOST important in this life. See ya later….
I wish you and your family/friends all the strength, companionship and love and take all the time you need, because I'll still be here when you return.
So many of us have been on this journey, I lost my mum 14 years ago. We stayed with her at home to the end. The memories of that time will always remain with us, there was laughter, joy, tears, great sadness and above all love.
My deepest sympathies Steve, Don't worry about content, we will be here when you are ready, don't rush it take as much time as you need, love and understanding from the UK.
We are with you. Sail-on!
Courage to you and your family in these hearts times.
Stay strong, I know very much what you are going through. It brings back memories. Love to you and your family 💖
Having gone through this twice, my heart goes out to you. It is difficult time but gather your family around you, treasure your Mom while she is still hear and cherish the memories that you have
If the vids don't happen weekly or even monthly, your fans and followers will always be thinking of you and yours during this time. Family first - as it should be. All you need know is that we'll be here whenever you're ready or able.
Godspeed Steve’s Mom. Sending best wishes and lots of love from Nova Scotia.
I’m so sorry. I was the primary care giver for my Mom at the end. Your videos really helped me through that time. I wish words or actions could help. I heard that one day you’ll smile with the thought of them. It’s been almost 5 yrs and I think it’s happened once for me. I wish you all the best good luck hang in there and thank you for all of the great content.
Good morning, 'bella fam! That conveyor brings back memories, lol! No explanation required, take this time with your mom. You aren't Friday morning entertainment (okay, you aren't JUST Friday morning entertainment), you're family. Be with her, and your sisters. While you're doing that, our thoughts and hearts are with you. ☕
From your first video you have put your Family First! This RUclips family will be here when you return. Our thoughts and prayers are with your mother and entire family. God Bless and keep you all safe during this difficult time.
I'd hope that there's not a single person watching this that doesn't completely understand. It's called life. There's plenty to watch on RUclips. We'll all be here. I pray that everything turns out the best it can for you and your loved ones. 💯🙏🏻❤️
No questions asked, do what you have to do Steve and Robin! Wishing you and the family all the best!
Steve & Robin, we will be praying you and your family through this difficult time. We trust that will all the family gather around your mom that though the days will be difficult, the bond of family, the sharing of memories and the grace of Devine Providence will comfort you all.
Sorry for the situation. I lost my mom 6 years ago quite suddenly. Look to the people around you for strength. This is how we learn to cherish them.
Wishing peace for you and your family.
Our hearts ache with you and for you but we wish you to spend as much time as you can with your mom and family. Our thoughts and prayers will follow you throughout these Life's journeys. Thank you for this update.
Just wishing you all a lot of strength during this difficult period. Warm vibes from across the Atlantic
My heart goes out to you and your family, Steve. We did the same 6 years ago. Tell your mom, "have a peaceful journey."
Prayers for peace for your Mom, family, friends and you, Steve in this portion of your journey. You are not alone.🙏
Two things. First, as a young guy in the 60’s I did so much hay bucking that I still shake my head in wonder. Having said that, it’s fun to see the old school hay conveyor and the family doing this chore together.
Second, I feel your pain re your Mom. A person only gets one mom and it’s a tough part of life at the end. My sympathies ❤️
Hang in there, Steve & family! Enjoy each other's company.
Love from The Netherlands. ❤
I'm here with you. My mother passed away last month, and if I could have anything, it would be more time with her. Even though it is tough, you are doing the right thing. I hope that you and your family find peace, and I pray that your mother finds peace and painless rest.
Thank you for sharing your mother's memory, that's such a recent and sharp loss. -Annie B
My thoughts and prayers are with you Steve and your family. It is never easy, but it is a natural part of life. May you all find peace.
You and your family will be in my prayers for comfort and peace through this season. 🙏
As a patient and survivor who will be on treatment the rest of my life, I simply wanted to say that your mother and family need you more now than us. It's a blessing you can be with her now and take some joy in her knowing that you did it. May God bless your house always.
Love and prayers are with you Steve, with your family and with your mum. Don't worry about us. We will be here whenever you return.
Great good wishes for the onward journey, especially for your Mom. I am with you here and and in my heart. May you all find peace and healing.
Thank you, Steve. You take all the time you need for this difficult time for you and your family.
I am sure that all your patrons and subscribing family understand this difficult chapter.
My thoughts, prayers and best wishes go put to you and your family.
Very Best Regards, Brad from Australia!
I’m in the exact same situation with my old dad right now. Right there with you Steve
You and your famiy are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
I lost my mom to cancer 15 years ago and I missed the last moments of her life, something that I will never forgive myself for. Prayers and Love from my family to yours.
Steve and Robin et al we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers...All these years you have been part of our family too.
Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your heart is in the right place being with your mother and family.
It was really important for me to have a “what comes next” view each time I lost a parent. Thanks for keeping us along and I hope your mum passes easily.
You take care Steve. You’re right where you need to be. We’ll be here waiting for you, however long it takes.
My mom of 92 just passed. I spent the last years close by like you are. You are a good son, God bless you.
Family comes first. That is never an easy situation, many of us know it all too well. Wishing y'all and your family all the best.
All my sympathies and best wishes to you and your family Steve. There is nothing anyone can expect other than peaceful transitions to all. You and your entire crew have been an inspiration to many of us viewers and please continue the journeys you are on
Sorry to hear about your Mom. Prayers for your Mom and your Family.
I am so sorry.😢 You take your time and be with your mom and family. I will be here when you pick back up. Make as many memories with mom and just be there. I'm still going to pray for the lot of you! 💕
Been there Steve it's the passage of life , like season for reflection , coming together as a family and sharing your love .
Don’t worry about anything except looking after you and yours. We can look after ourselves
Prayers for you and your family. Having watched my wife's mom go through the same sad ending, I completely feel for you
Many of us here have been there, sometimes more than once. Your family is with you. Love them, support them, be supported by them. It’s all part of life. The ones who leave us are always part of us and part of who we are. They are never really gone. Peace be with you and Robin.
Our thoughts and love are with you and you family at this difficult time
I'm so sorry Steve, I know these must be tough times for you and your family. Be safe, take your time, and take care of you and yours. We'll all be patient.
Sending love and good energy.
Wishing you and your family a peaceful transition. Good hospice is a blessing for both the patient and the family. May your mom's sailing off into the sunset be smooth and peaceful.

My heart goes out to you guys and as you shut the companionway hatch I felt the sigh. Take care of your Mum and when you are ready to return we can pick up your fascinating story.
Hi Steve,
I have been watching these videos for a few years now (since the lead pour), and they have brought so much joy to my life. I have never commented before, but in case you are reading this, I want to send all of my love your way.
Much love in this difficult time.
Best,
Bentzy
Love and prayers to your mom, you, and your family. Wishing you all of gods blessings during this most difficult journey.
Sending prayers to you and the family. I just went through home hospice with my mother about 7 years ago and then with my wife (cancer stage-4) 2.5 years ago. It is not easy, but I know you will get thrugh it. The grief counselors told me it is a long endless road that gets easier to travel as time goes on. Take care and stay well and safe. God Bless!❤
I lost my mom recently, you are right where you belong.
Much love Steve, we'll be here when you get back.
You are a fine young man and a good son. Continue to love and cherish your mom as much as you can while you can. And breath..
I lost my mum a few years ago so I know how it feels. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Bless you all in this difficult time.
I'm so sorry to hear this news. Take care and love to you and your family.
Having lost my mom a year ago I for one understand. Take as much time needed and we all will be here for you when you return.
Much love and sympathy from Melbourne Australia
Embrace the situation and make the next period of time honourable and treasure your memories.
I and I’m sure we’ll be here when you get back ❤️
You have my sympathy. Sending good energy to you, your mom and family from West Virginia.
Wishing you and your family comfort and peace.
Its a blessing you can be with your mom.🙏🏻
Hay baling sure brings back happy and itchy summer memories from that part of the world. Bay Roadie.
Life gets in the way but the animals still gotta eat. Be well.
Work will never, ever be more important than family. Good luck and keep smiling.
You helped me through a most difficult time by giving me brief distraction and a vision of seeing things through to their completion while I dealt with relocating to the East Coast to aid my father's failing health and his eventual death. RUclips content doesn't matter, your family and your emotional health is what is important.
I’m pretty sure the reason I watch this channel is for the guy who has his priorities in the right place. Family first and all the love and support Susan and I can throw your way. We will be here when you return. Praying for God’s grace and strength during this time.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you. Myself and my wife have been through this and we understand .Family is always first. Chris from Western Australia .
Been there with my Mom. You're where you need to be and when you look back on this, you'll be glad she was at home and you were there.
So sorry for your difficult journey. I lost my Mom to cancer many years ago and as bad as it is, at least it gave us time to say again all the things we needed to say once more. Praying for you and the family.
Prayer for everyone.
Don't worry about us or content. I lost my Mom a couple of years ago and my Dad in '04. Take all the time you need, and you will need it.
Be peaceful Steve and take care of yourself.
Steve, mom and family….much, much love. Good choice to be with your mom. All the best!
Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Please don’t feel you have to create content during this time, we will all be here when you’re able to return. The sailing community is like family and supportive. God bless.
Grew up on a boat in the Cape Cod area in the 1970’s. Life has a way of taking over. I have a ritual of jumping in the ocean off of Scituate every spring. Boat life isn’t easy, all we can do is try. My best wishes to you and your family!
Steve I have watched you and your for 7 years or so. And, your mother has been apart of your offerings all the while. Now sadness is upon your family, I feel the need to pray for all. GOD HELP YOUR FAMILY THROUGH THESE TIMES.❤
Forget about the content..... You and the entire A2A crew have quite honestly been spoiling us over the last 7+ years with so much of your heart and soul.
Focus on your mom and your family, and nothing else. We will all be here whenever you return, with plenty of virtual hugs and appreciation for your journey.
In the meantime, take comfort in the fact that the entire A2A family around the world is lifting your mom and your family up in prayer.
"I am the waves that bear,
I am the winds that guide.
I am the evening stars,
I am the morning sky.
I am born of the sea,
and there I shall die."
God bless, from a fan up in 🇨🇦
Much love to you all, take all the time you need.
We just lost our eldest sibling, Paul. He also finished up with end of life care, which strangely makes it easier, as there is time to reflect on all our entwined lives and get used to the idea we were soon to lose him.❤️❤️
You only have one mother and to be able to be with her in her final moments is one of the most important moments of y’all’s life. Don’t miss it for anything. It is one of only a few moments, you can’t get back later. We will be here for you when you return much love.
From someone who lost their Mom to cancer in 2016, as well as probably more than 100 friends to anything from overdoses to car crashes, My heart goes out to you my friend during this time
I'm sorry to hear about your mom, and I am praying for all the comfort, love, and support that you and your family needs. Take all the time you have to... we will all still be here waiting for your return.
I sympathise with you Steve. I lost my Mum in February after a protracted battle with Dementia. Sending love and best wishes to you and your family.
