Work done. We have relocated Mundinho, placed her on the hard and set her up for long term storage. After 2 years we will return and put her back in the water and continue. For now we will live 2 years in Singapore, enjoying the Far East.
Mundinho on the hard with my father, who has helped the past weeks relocating Mundinho and placing her on the hard.
One thing with cruising in the tropics is taking care you do not end up with bugs and other insects on board. We have been pretty successful so far with that as well these past four weeks with no insects on board. However we ended up with a sloth as a nightly visitor hanging on the side of the railing. Best of all he did not wanted to leave Mundinho. Only after pushing and pulling with brooms (trust me, you do not want to handle these buggers with your hands) and casting of lines we were able to get the little bugger on the slip, where it happily fell sleep.
Mundinho underway to her new location in calm winds.
