Week Five





Here's an example of a huge trailer just for you Helen



Ok, so it's the beginning of week 5 for us at Indiantown Marina and the work continues. Someone did say to me the other day it's like Hotel California here.....for those of you who aren't Eagles fans - "you can check out, but you can never leave". Please let that not be us! Richard has got right into working on the boat as well as checking out the ones in the yard that he'd like to buy. Hopefully the third pair of hands means we will at least be in the water soon.

Michael and Robert  - welder men

 We had to get the welder men back for some more advice on the keel and a couple more small jobs. Michael and Robert are really nice guys with great southern accents.  Thanks guys for helping us out.

John who has a yacht in the yard near us is an invaluable source

 of information and knows his way around the sailing

sites like no one else. He put us onto someone who was selling a secondhand series drogue and liked ours so much he's gone and bought one himself!

Ros and Rob were also near neighbours of ours for a while, but have now returned home to Canada after a marathon 5 months in the workyard. They'll be back to finish working on their yacht and then they hope to go sailing!

Our mate Jack has also returned home to Canada. He helped us immensely with sorting out our engine.
