May. 24, 2007 - Part 1 Registration Comes Through

Our Part 1 Registration came through in today’s post along with the brass tonnage plate, so that is all the paperwork in place. It has been a bit fraught, but we got there in the end. All that remains outstanding is some work by Peters Opal – repairing the stanchion and guard wire and fitting the cockpit repeater for the VHF. As of Wednesday they did not appear to have been done. Will chase up on Friday.

Our 4^th crew member contacted me on Wednesday and now we have our full compliment – Peter (Delivery Skipper), Kerry (Crew), Trevor (Crew) and myself (Skipper). The plan is, I skipper the boat and Peter keeps a watchful eye over my shoulder and provides backup where needed.

Still got a few things to pick up over the weekend – engine spares etc.
