It feels so good to be back to my boat after 6 months of being away! From seeing family and friends, mountain biking in New Zealand, skiing and ice plunging in Tromsö, walking my dog and cycle touring in the UK and much more, I have arrived back to Apataki with 62 kg of boatparts. The boatyard is empty but that’s about to change as people are starting to arrive to prepare for the sailing season. Lots of people have asked me if the boat was in good condition when I arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to find the boat without mould, odd smells and dry. No major clean up was needed and I could get to work right away.
After replacing the inverter, the waste pump, the traveller, the head sails and odds and ends, I’ve booked to haul Sarantium back in the water. If all goes well, I will again be floating in the turquoise water here in French Polynesia.
