We are only slightly freaking out about how little time we have left until the cruising season begins here in Australia, we still have boat jobs on the list and finding the time to do them is seemingly challenging. However, this week we managed to finally get Nakama back to being electrically self-sufficient, in preparation to being off gird once again. We have also gotten rid of our very old and very leaky windows and replaced them with very new and not at all leaky windows. We have a couple new creature comforts installed too and Nakama’s engine will hopefully start the first time every time after installing a new starter motor.
