A GOOD DAY AGAIN

Paul and I had another successful day on Coyaba. I have included pictures of some of our work (if interested). I washed and put mold repellant on the white windshield cover. That took a long time but we have been told of a secret weapon of cleansers..... bleach and toilet bowl cleaner. It works on anything! While I was doing that Paul installed the winch on the davit. Just some wiring to be done now. See below.


I know this is not so exciting but the boys have been asking because this davit and "stuff" has been sitting in our garage for quite a long time, now they can visualize with a photo what the outcome is.

Yesterday we did put the swim ladder on, every time you screw into fibrglass with a wooden core the holes have to be filled with more fibreglass. Paul used a small syringe to fill the holes to put the mounts on for the swim ladder. We have mounts on the other pontoon too so the ladder can move to either one. 


A GREAT STURDY LADDER FOR US AND ALL THE COMPANY COMING


See the ladder beside the boat, that is my aerobics every day, up and down, up and down all the time ;-)

We have a brand new VHF radio and the antennae had to go up. This was very time consuming as the wires have to be fished down from the flybridge roof down to the saloon area. I don't want to get into boring details, lets say many words were spoken in frustration.

A GREAT VIEW WHILE I WORK


Oops I really mean the next picture, dolphins do come in this bay to swim


The VHF will be wired inside tomorrow, we left at 4pm and are very tired again. It is great that it hasn't rained here for us, the sun is up and shining every day just for us.... and all the others working on their boats down here.

Cheers to you all as we have a glass of well deserved wine right now.
