OK, OK – I know it was -30 celcius in
Montreal this past weekend, and probably just as cold in Toronto (or close!). But
we’ve got our problems, too …
When my brother Robert and his wife, Susan,
were on our boat to visit last year, Susan left saying “is there ever more than
20 minutes before something new needs to be fixed on a boat?”. Famous last
words!
I only include pics of us lying on the
white sand, looking at the sunsets and smiling happily over gin and coconut
water sundowners. But we haven’t stopped working on this (relatively new) boat
since we arrived, and that was after 3 weeks of non-stop work by Jeff in
November L. It is worth it? If we don’t come home in frustration sooner, we’ll
let you know in the middle of April.
We spent yesterday morning cleaning out the
bilge after we discovered it filled with some unnamed black stuff (like ink),
just after Jeff had partially installed a brand-new bilge pump. And today we
hand-cleaned the holding tank, as the macerator, which is supposed to mash up
and pump out the sewage, was blocked - yech L. But
we’re determined to whip this boat into shape by next Thursday when we expect
our first guest – and then we get to vacation for a week with her – yeah!
The pics below were taken in a rare quiet
moment when we had a picnic lunch on the beach opposite where we’re now
anchored. The first one is a sundial someone made out of stones and a piece of
driftwood – and it really works!
