Since we cannot move thru the boat without stepping over boxes, my work today is clear. I spent the day finding the right place for and stowing stuff away. Jim spent his day buffing out the starboard hull. You wouldn't believe that those tasks could take the whole day, but between that, two loads of laundry, a trip to the office and one to the bank, and visits from the Plumber, the electronics guy and the mechanics it truly does.
The good news is the starboard engine is put back together and running perfectly now, a few more days for the port engine as we are still waiting on the part. Most of the boat is not only clean, but navigable. Well, except for the paint that is stowed in the port head (mine) and everything else that is stowed in the forward berths, and the fact that we have to move cushions around in order to have a place to sleep each night.

Forgive me for the boring details of our day to day commissioning, however, this is part of what keeps me sane and in touch...if only we didn't have to hike over to the office to get internet signal.
