Just Another Day

We survived our first night without falling in the bilge…or dropping anything valuable in the bilge! Today we continued to work on the head, we’re really happy that we started this project our first week. Last night I was going through the cupboards and consolidating our emergency supplies which Mike replenishes every year. And of course the metal behind the cupboards was dirty and rusty and needing a new coat (or several) of paint. I was also able to get some Sikaflex on the inner windows seals and do a final fit on most of the trim (a project started 2 years ago almost completed!). Mike also made some good headway on plumbing the toilet. He spent all afternoon grinding the thru-holes into larger ones (the fittings that allow water/waste to enter/leave the boat), which was a slow and dirty job. It just felt like a really busy day and we were pretty wiped by the end. But were able to find the energy to take a very needed shower, lounge on the day bed and watch the first half of Godfather II. There sure is a lot of Italian spoken in that movie, which is really noticeable when you have a bad copy and don’t have subtitles!
