Hauling Pelagia (at Fonatur) tomorrow morning (October 21st) for bottom-work and other miscellany, including some minor welding (to strengthen bimini/solar panels, and to better-secure the Rocna anchor), boot-stripe repainting, and new portlights (5 of 7). Unfortunately, we discovered that the new pilot house windows we had installed over the summer (while we were away) are totally inadequate. So, we will also have these redone with thicker, more-appropriate windows. More time (and money) required....
On the positive, the engine is all shiny with new or overhauled parts, the teak shiny, the boat clean, and there does not appear to be any mold/mildew. Oh, and the tacos and margaritas are pretty good.
Will likely be here for 2-3 weeks -- may take a road trip.

It sounds like you two are prepping the boat for a serious voyage... might that be across the Pacific?! Looking forward to hearing about your cruising adventures this season (we will now have to live vicariously through you since our cruising time is quickly coming to an end)!
ReplyDeleteHi Alena, how's New Caledonia? Australia not so far now! As for us, we are not likely to be crossing the Pacific anytime soon. We'll be getting Pelagia home. Cruising BC's islands and hiking and skiing BC's mountains are taking a strong hold on us.
