Work carries on in the yard; I’m rebuilding pumps, painting the
fuel centrifuge and air conditioner condensers. I made friends with a cruiser
called Hans who’s in charge of all the teak work. He’s been sailing around
Greece in a 50ft Beneteau, which he recently sold, and the new owner just
wrecked on rocks off Panama. I’m trying to persuade him to come to the
Caribbean. If you want your teak decks redoing, you need Hans:
A Rse cleaning van (Super Mario’s company)…Cheeky. I’m tempted
to set up a rival company – British Ultra Marine cleaning.
I picked up a cheap DC to AC power inverter, new coffee
maker and lots of other bits and pieces for Sonic Boom, new shorts, flip flops
and sunglasses for me. I’m very ready to leave San Remo; excited to go to
Amsterdam to catch my KLM flight back to Curacao in a couple of weeks.
