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 being 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 in French Polynesia. 🥰

Nice to see you come back to the surface! And also to hear that Sarantium is in such good shape, I’m sure you were very happy to see that. And you’ve done so much work already, wow. I guess Wonder Woman is back!
Is it possible for you to remind us of all the steps that you took, to prepare Sarantium for your time away? I know I made some suggestions, but that was just based on what others had said. You obviously did the actual preparation that worked well, and I would love to know what those steps were, so I can use that knowledge for my own situation in the future. It would be appreciated!
Good luck with everything going forward, skål!
