Final chores

10 May 2013

Slowly but surely the pieces of the puzzle come together. The top sail rig, of 14 meters long, is back in its place after we sanded and varnished. We fitted a new turbo on the head engine, we did maintenance on the pipes for salt water, we paint where we can; in short we are finishing the final big chores. All the stocks are brought on board and this morning we bunkered 12000 litre diesel oil for the next few weeks. Bernt Folmer has arrived, he will be the captain on the next leg. He is looking forward to it and so are we!
