The new, beautiful Ocean hatches from Lewmar are up. Next on the schedule: Mounting of new portholes and exchanging the toe rails. Caos is hauled up for the rest of this week so we'll have plenty of time to fulfill the exterior work on her. The Katadyn watermaker will be here after the weekend, inshallah, so we will also take care of the installation of the new seacocks, later this week. Also, Alex came home with a gift for me last night, it was not roses, lingerie nor champagne, but a Fein angle polisher. Ha! So very thoughtful. So now you know where to find me for the rest of this week. On the yard, polishing the hull of the boat. /T
