Days 2 and 3
11 January 2012 | Tunisia
Sunny
Well, I've been here three days now and I get the impression that we have achieved a lot already. Yesterday the team continued with the dismantling of the interior and the deck hardware. Meanwhile Salva and I discussed the build cradle modifications and the manoeurvring of the boat into her spot in the shed. I then finished prepping the engine to come out. The fuel tanks came out and some of the bulkheads in the aft section.
Today, by lunchtime the inside of the boat began to look very empty, and this evening all that remains is the small cabin and the port side of the galley. The rudder and the bowsprit were also taken off and new supports were welded to the cradle. Some time was also spent poring over drawings trying to figure out where the differences are in what we have, compared to what we want at the end. Oh and a few heads were scratched.
I will post more pics on Flickr probably this weekend so look out for the link. If anyone has a suggestion or just would like to say hello, please post a comment.
Next update should be this weekend. Bye for now.
