Beez Neez is Hauled Out at
Pangkor Marina
We waited on our berth until the
radio chirped that James was ready for us. At five to
five Beez was caught in the mover and we began to
lift. We thought James looked very good in his Beez
Neez shirt.........
The skipper was quite calm – even
smiled. Within minutes we were being offered a
ladder. Beez from the ground.
Opposite a lady
needing quite a bit of TLC.
Meanwhile, James was giving
Beez a jolly good power hosing. How she
needs a new coat and wellies. All washed it was time
for James to get back to his magic box and slowly get
the girl off the slope and levelled out.
Bear looked quite
content but James began to worry as the Sea Lift
began to make some groaning noises. (one of her wheel bearing seals had
popped).
Progress was painfully slow and it
wasn’t until half past six that she began to back into her
home for the next twenty-one months. 2018 will be all about four weeks
working on Beez and four weeks land travel.
Beez passed Jimmy, busy working on a lady – he will be in charge of
Beez new jacket. Nearly there.
Very funny when one of the yard dogs wanted to help James. He left the lift in place until tomorrow
morning.
Soon Beez
was resting on the ground and sturdy props were going to be nailed into place.
We went to shower and saw a lady needing rather a lot of work.
All quiet come sunset.
ALL IN ALL SO EASY UNTIL THE
MACHINE HICCOUGHED
A WELL-EARNED REST AND DRY-OUT FOR THE
GIRL |
