Is again a busy, but also really nice weekend behind us. Besides tinkering or idleness could have been done not much else, because it stormed and rained almost all the time. For this purpose it has cooled down here in the northern extreme. Also: Heating at, Tool box out and started to:

Friday evening we will arrive at eight in Kopperby, Load the empty car, the boat is full and open cooperation with our friends from the “Ballyhoo“ on the grill. Angrillen in Kopperby, HERE ingenious little. It's really nothing like a sausage. To the sunset on the other side of the loop, a few cold beers and a (initially!) balmy night. Nice, again to be there. The port has already become a little home. Such evenings can be sown in abundance this summer 🙂

The next morning, despite a slight headache starts very early. I had a week earlier at Liros ordered a large order, up to the mooring and the boom vang, ve been newly added, I wanted to replace all the lines. Most had been before one or two Atlantic crossings under his belt, were worn, scoured and had a lot of crazy triangle. Point two of the tasks should be the pressurized water system, The ship was damaged since purchase. Some of the copper pipes had burst hot water system in a previous winter, and in general it licked all over. So once again all the tubing. At the end of the day it ripples at least in the Pantry. An incredible luxury for us, since we have lived out of the boat canisters have, though we are sitting on 700-liter water tanks.

On Sunday, I manage well, close to the sink in the toilet room to the new lines and everything to get close. Incidentally, I saw a PVC drain pipe handle and laminated it to the bilge. It will eventually hang the sonar transducer and hunt its signals through the body in an oil bath and the depth. The donor has to be mounted via through hull not work out, because it does not bow in horizontal position is, which is.

Cati has in the meantime, the front half of the ground and commenced salons, apply the primer. Since we are in the afternoon at the Nico and Birte “Ballyhoo” are invited to coffee, I have to replace them at the end: “Give it to me, you do it thoroughly …”

Is scheduled for next weekend, to mount the sonar in the laminated tube and wipe the saloon finished. Then, all built in the last few months bought equipment and first announced a break. Not for the catch - no, then all the money is simply entgültig. I am now no longer as bright as in years. For this will be from “Gipsy Girl” slowly clear a ship for use. Let's see ... if I can afford a can of Winschfett, I create the service may still coming weekend … 😉
