Noise and dust

17 September 2015

We have been in the dry dock for the past three days, but it seems much longer. Breaking down the cabins, taking away the grey water tanks and the piping was already a lot of work. But we are now removing the concrete, rust and dirt that has gathered here. Now it starts to get clear how big the job is that we have started. Smoke from the cutting torches, the loud noise of the pneumatic hammers and a lot of dust and dirt make this hard work. To make the ship as good as new again we are taking a structural approach. This means that now we have gone this far we will replace the bits if we have the slightest doubt that is not good enough anymore. But we are not yet ready for replacing anything. For now we are still in the phase of smoke, dust, noise and dirt.
