Finally after more than one year there is something on this boat COMPLETELY FINISHED!!!!! Yes, that right, Ed and I put the last of the aft cabin back together today....
In the next few day I hope we can get the new mattress out of our living room and into the aft cabin.... I also hope I can get the midship cabin done so I can get those mattresses out there too....
After Ed left at 1pm, I got half of the shower grouted before I ran out of grout.... I will have to get some more tomorrow.... then I got a bunch more little wiring jobs finished up... About 6pm, my back gave out and I gave up for the night... Tomorrow I hope I can get a little more done...
Also today another friend from church dropped by and is going to get me prices on spare engine parts for our Perkins diesel engine... I hope that we can afford to carry a bunch of spare parts.... I went through a box labeled "engine parts" with him and found a fuel pump, a water pump, a fuel injector and a few other miscellaneous odds and ends.... Who knew I had these parts??
After 9 years of planning, and 4 years of preparation, we are finally on the adventure of a lifetime... On July 1st 2014 we left Ontario Canada setting out on an adventure that might just take us around the world.... This blog is a chronical of not only our trip but the work that went into getting us and our Dufour 12000ct Ketch rigged sailboat ready.... Enjoy... We are happy to share our adventures...
