Mishaps and Memories

Mar. 29, 2007 - one day at a time

Signed survey arrived this morning.... need to get a faxed copy of the signed bit over to the finance company.... been a good few years since I had a fax machine!

 

Other than that... we're in good shape.... going down Sat to load her up.... can't wait..... but not even close to the excitment levels with the kids!

 

Still awaiting a few details to be sorted...

 

The survey mentioned the outboard, but not the tender.... need to check its on board... its also mentioned a spinnaker, but thats the first i've heard of it, and didn't see it on board when we looked her over.....

 

Apparently the prop anode has mysteriously been fitted...

 

The survey mentioned a few things that are essential pre-launch... need new fire extinguishers, need safety kit on board (like flares, life jackets etc etc...!!!) needs the seacock changing that is being done by the vendor, and needs the gas hoses changing on the cooker and bottle... i'll look at doing those this weekend if possible... it also suggested a rigging inspection, but what the surveyor didn't know was that happened just 6 weeks ago, and was given a clean bill of health...

 

Its getting closer!
