Sailing sailboat BOAT WORK BLUNDERS cont.
It is always slightly worrying to see Rob with a drill in his hand. Though he is a very capable handy man, he does like to throw himself into a project without thinking it through, like the time……..well how much time do you have?
At last we get Javelot back in the water and take her for a wee blast down to Urquharts Bay at the mouth of the Whangarei Harbour to stretch her legs and our own. Then it was back to the realities of life, a blocked toilet, which is always a joy to work on.
The countdown is now almost complete. The boat begins to sparkle as Declan and Ivan scrub away all the dirty marks on deck. Then Finn and Rachel partake in a three hour supermarket shop of the essentials chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate.
Finally all that’s left to do is welcome the two additional crew members we are taking with us on our sail to Fiji: Josh Lyon, a young adventurer, who has sailed an ocean with us before and Mike Moss our local organic farmer, testing his limits. Can he really endure 8 to 10 days at sea in a cramped space with the Hamills? Only time will tell.
A big thank you to the talented artists who have allowed us to use their music.
