Dear Readers,

after every hour on the new blog entries Tuesday (I was so excited, what all goes with the phone ;-)) yesterday was now a days of silence, because here is extremely Mau on the land of cell phone reception. Yesterday I had even been typed on the phone a new report, but the power was too weak, to send him to complete.

What happened? Now, We are on Tuesday evening at half past 10 Time arrived and moved into the boat. In the past year must have some moisture gets under his deck, why the walls in a kind of cabin “Flight mold” (much like rust ...) have scheduled. With a bottle “Mildew Stain Remover – Extra Giftig” was the stuff but quickly wiped. Egis and hands a little degenerate - but you should probably note the hint with the rubber gloves ...

Flew around noon the “Gavdos” in the travel lift on the gravel road down to the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and now swims. After the gland has tasted a little, it is now close. The engine runs well and so we could enjoy the rest of the afternoon it makes the new wind generator from West Marine mount. The Generator vom Typ “Air-Breeze” looks visually the same as the, I had bought the Maverick I used to in the Caribbean, But apparently he has the appearance, my 10 Year-old, model used to do not much. New, reduce the white sheets become so familiar to me “Flap-Flap-Flap” to a minimum and a small LED lamp, has shown me so many times at night in the boat the way back to Maverick, lights only very rarely.

It is now just half 11 Clock in the morning and we have been through 3 Hours on their feet. Egi is in the process, to scrub out the deck, while I take care of the electrics, installed a new switch panel yesterday and today have a unique panel of the bilge pump and get some mount sockets, so that we may also send regular updates on lake. An inverter I have just been installed and is now sitting with my little, white Mac to the card table, to write this update. While there are still many small details and objects of the “To-Do-List” be, comes more and more the feeling of, that the ship is quite ready for sea. And I also feel, I like it itches in your fingers, drive off soon. Of mine from the same directly to New York, two days sightseeing - and then to the Azores. The boat is definitely a pretty strong impression. Compare with my little Maverick. Also, if we have already heard, that the Westsail is not to be very fast, but we shall see. “Westsnail” or even “Wetsnail” the locals call the boat here. But whenever you are asked, What a boat we sail, put mine on an awesome boat Lore, when they find out the type of boat: “That boat can take you anywhere!”. The feeling I have also.

Now that we finally have internet, I will try, to send an update every day.

By the way: The letdown of the day yesterday was my. Still in the jet lag I was last night on his way to brush your teeth, I wanted to take a shortcut, was no. I saw the darkness I do not, where the bar ends ... PLATSCH! 😉
