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

- 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’m sure you and Robin will face this difficult time with the same strength and positive attitude you have always displayed.
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.
Take all the time you need. CZcams isn't going anywhere. Family should always come first. God bless you and your family.
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 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….
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.
We are with you. Sail-on!
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.
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.
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.
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 💖
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.
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
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. ☕
No questions asked, do what you have to do Steve and Robin! Wishing you and the family all the best!
Wishing peace for you and your family.
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.
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.
Hang in there, Steve & family! Enjoy each other's company.
Love from The Netherlands. ❤
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 ❤️
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 heart goes out to you and your family, Steve. We did the same 6 years ago. Tell your mom, "have a peaceful journey."
Just wishing you all a lot of strength during this difficult period. Warm vibes from across the Atlantic
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
From your first video you have put your Family First! This CZcams 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 CZcams. We'll all be here. I pray that everything turns out the best it can for you and your loved ones. 💯🙏🏻❤️
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.

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.
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.
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.
Don’t worry about anything except looking after you and yours. We can look after ourselves

Be peaceful Steve and take care of yourself.
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.

Wishing you, Robyn and the family, the strength you will need in the coming weeks
Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your heart is in the right place being with your mother and family.
Prayers for you and your family. Having watched my wife's mom go through the same sad ending, I completely feel for you
Prayers for your Mom and family. Will be with you when you get back
Bless you all in this difficult time.
Blessings to you and the family, thank you for letting us join you on the journey, may you all be a comfort for you mother and each other.
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!❤
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.
Prayers for comfort and peace to you and your family. Your doing the right thing, we’ll be here when you get back. Fair winds and flooding seas.
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.
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.
Family first. Always. Always. Much love to mom and your entire family. Be well.
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.
Wishing you and your family comfort and peace.
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.
Our prayers with your Mom and your family . Have been there twice, not easy answers. Cherish every moment. God Bless
I lost my mum a few years ago so I know how it feels. Wishing you and your family all the best.
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 ❤️
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! 💕
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
My mom of 92 just passed. I spent the last years close by like you are. You are a good son, God bless you.
Prayers for all of you as you navigate this difficult time.
God Bless your Mom and your family.
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.
I lost my mom recently, you are right where you belong.
Much love Steve, we'll be here when you get back.
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.
Work will never, ever be more important than family. Good luck and keep smiling.
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!
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 🇨🇦
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.
There’s so much you can share in the upcoming weeks, that will stay with you forever! I’ve been there too, some years ago. Take it as a gift, give everything you can and there will be freedom, dignity and love in this part of life, that we all will go through one day - hopefully surrounded by our loved ones.
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.
You are where you should be and need to be, Steve. Sending love to you and your family.
I feel for you and your family. I went through caring for my mother with cancer back in 15/16. Unfortunately but also a blessing she was diagnosed and passed away in 6 weeks. I was able to be there 24/7 to care for her and was holding her hand when she passed away in her own home. Talk about the good things and do not worry her about the bad things. Best wishes to you and all your family.
Sending thoughts and prayers your way Steve. You are where you need to be.
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.
Thanks for sharing so much of your lives. Please take the time to be with your family. You have the right priorities.
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.
God bless the both of you and especially your Mom.
Blessings Steve for you and your family.
God bless your mum and you and your family Steve❤
