Their boat is really nice looking - inside and out.

Good looking boat and by the looks of things the boat yard where she was on the hard looks like a very pleasant place to spend your days while you slave away. Good luck with the rebuild and may you have pleasant travels in the near future.

I think we went though this at least eight times with Irie. Once, we had a leak after replacing the sea cocks, and once the engines didn’t start. Scary stuff. <br /><br />Ted looks totally different without a beard. Wow. You’ll miss them when they leave with a fixed engine! What a fun couple! Did anyone take the beard hair yet? If they would have restepped their mast, I would have suggested putting it underneath, which we did with a rubber duckie. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-74873719933470468592018-06-01T14:33:43.942-07:002018-06-01T14:33:43.942-07:00Shaving took years off him!
