Island time has taken over already I've only been
here 4 days! The surveyor I had engaged has gone awol and left the
Moorings crew to refit Winny as per schedule. I came in right at the end
but she is looking good. We still need a surveyor to make a report for the
insurers so that should happen in the next couple of days.
Once the surveyor has been and anything extra
sorted out I can sign Winny off and we will move her from the refit dock to 'C'
dock at Hodges Creek. Not far in distance but a million miles in
terms of responsibility.
Next week the Duogen arrives and we can get started
on the fitting out for our adventure. I brought the Iridium phone so
getting help to fit that too. Can't wait to get aboard and out of hotel
rooms.
So far I have found all manner of paints, post
office, gas cylinders to re-arm our life jackets, national parks office,
courtesy flags for 4 more countries on our list and a restaurant on top of a
headland to sit back and celebrate when we are ready to go!
Tomorrow I think I am chasing a surveyor and
getting the engine/compression test results, exciting here...
All Best Alyson
