To all of you blog followers,well I hope for at least one here is the latest. Tonight I have managed two postings so enjoy. Here is couple #1 at the opening of a new bar here in Danga Bay. Now for an opening celebration it was free beer and buffet dinner.
These guys are happy sedrving free beer and they never even get tips.
As we also got a rugby match that night, here's Capt. Ron the dockmaster playing "Waltzing
Matilda" on the harp as Oz. beat S. Africa.

An outdoor cafe in Singapore. Kathy and I had to make the trip to buy varnish.
650 ml Tiger beer's for $5.30 sg dollars or about $4.75 US.
Trips to Singapore are necessary to buy most boat things. Hey it's only a two hour trip each way and you get more stamps in the passport. Soon we'll need extra pages!! This is in a subway station.
Kathy ready to board the train. The rapid transit is a great way to get around and cheap.
OK, now we move on to the work section. Here are three of our five anchors. We are sending them in to be re-galvinized at $.50 a kilo/2.2lbs. CHEAP!!
Po oino Roa is an older lady built in 1979 and in need of lots of work. A major project to be done here in Danga Bay is repairing of delamination and painting of the decks. I'm about to begin.
Once repair work is done the deckis get new paint which we had to order and have maile from the states.
so if you lie on your side this photo becomes perfectly clear. OK it's the navigation station and mainelectrical panel in the process of getting new varnish.
Lots of scrapping and sanding. the best part is Kathy is the new varnish person leaving me to grind and repair fiberglass. she just needs to remember it's never the last coat and don't try to be smarter than the varnish.
It seems I do lots of wood repair work.
Hey if you can't use clamps you must improvise and figure a way.
