Day 5 at Planaco Yachtworks, and thankfully a few things got ticked off the list yesterday! A Thursday launch is, I’d say, 60/40 at this stage.
Coral sits patiently on the hard waiting for her alternator to return from the garage and for her engine’s water pump to be serviced (if you know what I mean). Meanwhile I’ve been trying to get the fuel tanks as clean as I can, as a little water in the diesel fuel can be a happy breeding ground for filter-clogging bacterial goo. Let’s hope you never read about that again!
I’ve rented a crappy bicycle for 5€ a day, so the 20 minute commute to&from the yard has been pretty nice.
What’s that? You want to know all about water pump impellers? Maybe next time….
Congratulations on following your dream! Am looking forward to hearing about your adventures
Mike and Kathy. Looking forward to following along with your adventures.
Thanks Doris and Ron for all your help–Advantage Boating got me from terrified of the water to excited to be doing this. (This is Kathy, Mike was never terrified of the water, lol). I highly recommend the dinghy course for anyone who wants to give sailing a whirl, so fun!
Boy, first you lob me “People from Crete = Cretans”, now you give me “She’s sitting on the hard waiting to be serviced.”
I’m so dizzy I don’t even know where to start…
