Well, there’s just about a week left until I leave for Tahiti. The details are stacking up. Susan is in Tahiti with Gerard, her boat mechanic. He comes home on Sunday and has a few things to get fixed that I’ll need to take back down May 13th. The backup autopilot is broken and has to be shipped to New Hampshire for repair. We’re all crossing our fingers that FedEx can get it there and back with a day in the middle to get it fixed.
The boat is leaking in the cockpit into the head and aft cabin. Susan had quite the surprise when she got there and the boat was moldy. Then she found out that 3 generators were seized up. Luckily, they had taken two new ones down anyway. We still need the one that prop spins on the shaft while we’re sailing to generate electricity. Gerard will get all three repaired and we’ll take them all back, two as spare parts. You can always use spare parts.
I’m making finishing touches on the kitchen remodel. I really wanted to finish it before I left it for such a long time. We haven’t gotten the countertops done, but that can wait until I get back. We expanded the doorway into the kitchen near the front door and cut open the wall that partially divides the kitchen from the living room. It makes the kitchen feel bigger being able to see into the living room. We sold the Indonesian armoire yesterday and now that window is no longer blocked. That opens up the room even more. I’m very happy with how it’s all turning out. I have more counter space and more cabinet space too. I’ll have to do a complete reorganization when I get back. I’ll post some pictures before I go.
