Hello Blogging world again...

Hi all,

oops, it was in 2009 since I last wrote about our boat and building it. I must admit, in the mean time our new crew member Sofie arrived and she's quite a handful. But, it is nice to be able to report some progress.

What have we added since we moved in; there is quite a list of lots of small and some bigger jobs that are done. Some you can't see, but seem to take forever, others there is instant result. We had two portholes in the hull added and this is such a success, that we're quite eager to have 3 more. This changes the whole salon, instead of a dark place, it still is a dark place, but more natural light is able to come in.

It finally happened; we're live aboards again ;) Last weekend we started moving and managed to get most of our stuff packed and stored onto Ataraxia. Had to throw away some clothes and shoes and think that this weekend some of my bags will have to go too when we move the rest of our junk, euh really necessary items.

We found storage in Hout Bay, so Peter wants to go there tomorrow and store some of our boxes there. From a client of Peter we received some steel storage boxes, so we want to use these in that garage.

Of course, the first night we couldn't sleep out of excitement, but the next two nights and last night, we experienced some hectic South Easterly winds. We have found the benefits of a simple thing called: earplugs...
