In the sling, being lifting out of the water. Breath holding stuff...
Not too bad considering 18 months in the drink.
A friend recently stated 'have they given up already?' - and judging by recent posts, perhaps it was a fair call.
We're having a short stay on terra firma, whilst Awaitea gets her belly cleaned & painted. Routine work involving antifoul and anodes, and whilst it does feel luxurious to have carpet underfoot, central heating, and a flushing toilet, I AM missing the boat & the harbour - the gentle sway of the current, the whirring of the wind gen (seriously), and the clinking of the stays on the mast.....
I gave Cookie a giant koala bear hug last night, and she was wearing her pj's from the boat. She smelt like the boat, she had a hint of diesel, and as peculiar as it sounds, she smelt like home.
Awaitea looks quite piratical in these pics ...
ReplyDeleteIt's the galleon stern. Lovely isn't it. Please drop by and check her out when we're back in the water (after next Weds ish)- if only to see how to attach the netting! Send me an email if you're interested. alspry@me.com
