Getting Ready-Day One

After a few hours sleep we were back at it cleaning and taking care of the items on the punch list.  One of the first priority was to finish the safety netting around the railing to keep the dogs and us on board. We did the same setup on Mer Soleil and it paid for itself many times.

As the years of neglect came off we were pleased with the shape of the vessel.  She is a great boat.  Vickie decided to try and restore the fenders rather than buying new ones.  I doubted they could be brought back to life. A few hours later she had them looking almost new. That saved us about $100 a piece.  We did have a disturbing note from the Generator Mechanic that the generator was not working. When we left he told us he was just making a few adjustments. He will be out in the morning to finish it up we were told

By about 1600 we wound it down for the day.We owed our self a break. There is a neat waterfront Tiki Bar called Oleary's at the Marina. There is a beach where people bring their Dinghy's in from the mooring fields for happy hour. Our new favorite place. It was not a late night and we both slept like a rock. We are home.
