This is all getting a bit serious now that we might actually go to sea in this boat that has been our project for the last 2 years. The mast is now in but there's still a lot to do on the rig.
The project plan is slowly getting eaten away, we have had a busy couple of weeks:
- Registration is finalised and on it's way
- MMSI has been issued, so the guys at Oyster can program all our equipment
- Insurance for Askari has been arranged
- We have terminated our lease on the rental house and started advertising stuff, including our very much loved "Disco Dave' seen below - I think this is where the grey obsession started!
|
Esperance Western Australia - one of the most beautiful spots on this earth! |
- We have arranged a storage unit
- Bought Australian artwork for Askari - both local and aboriginal pieces.
- We had the first of our 'final catch ups' with friends
- Sarah came to visit, we planned her trips on board Askari and she helped out with T-shirt designs, while also hanging out at the beach, bike riding and drinking too much!
Tonight we are off to a Marine Safety night at Fremantle Sailing Club - on St Patricks Day?!?
47 days to go!
