THE END [WATER] IS IN SIGHT

REBAK MARINA, LANGKAWI MALAYSIA

We have now scheduled our SPLASH date, Sunday May 6. Our new main sail arrived on 2 May and thanks to Jack and Sandi of "Zorana" was picked up and delivered to us at Rebaks ferry dock. Yesterday Kathy made the ferry, taxi trip in to Kuah to provision with essentials and pick-up the long awaited exhaust fitting.

While Kathy was on her town trip I finished the waxing of the hull. The topsides look much better but are in need of paint our next haul out.

Today was the Friday "veggie" run for Kathy and I spent the morning installing the new exhaust fitting then re-packing the stuffing box for the propeller shaft. With the exhaust back on Kathy scheduled our SPLASH for Sunday, of course the bill had to be paid as no cash no splash. One more big thing before getting wet was to finish with the anti-foul paint on the bottom. We put one more coat on today and will add another tomorrow before doing the final little stuff before Sunday's event.
