Alison and David packed their bags and left the boat yesterday after four months on board.We are both quietly relieved to have our home back at last. A boat is a small space and there has been tension over the past few weeks especially.Now we just have the aftermath to deal with.
Peter is now tackling his long list of jobs and managed to give the main engine a good service yesterday and today. He has almost fixed the small water leak on the generator. Some of the generator parts sent by Fischer Panda in the UK were wrong so we have ordered again.
The boat is getting a good thorough spring clean as we have time to do it now we are on dock with water on tap. Expect Peter will pickle the watermaker as we will not be using it for a while.
Planning to go into Papeete by bus on Monday so Peter can visit all the various ship suppliers and chandleries for his parts and spares.
The spinnaker has gone off to the sailmaker for repair and should be back sometime next week. We have decided not to repair the blister as it is old and we are not sure how much longer the material will last anyway. Intend to order a new Parasailer next week as an additional downwind sail.
Tahiti is very beautiful and HOT!!
