In the boatyard.....

I am going to cross post this on the yacht promenade blog too, as really this is where these should be, but I know lots of people go to my personal blog to see what is happening on the boat...

Thought I would take a break from cleaning to put this up. Being Lazy this morning I think, and there is no time to be lazy on board this yacht right now.

My replying to personal emails is going to be slow for the next week, too busy trying to get this boat into some kind of living shape. The boys went out shopping while I cleaned on Monday, and Connor came back saying "you should see all the neat stuff we got" I ran upstairs to see all boy stuff, and cleaning products and a stereo. I was not nearly as thrilled as he was!


I did have a couple observations...I live on a boat. WHY do we have all these keys in the galley?? These are not house keys either!


Every single thing needs de molding de mildewing and de rusting. Next time, we leave a demudifier running! EVERY single piece of cutlery... Yeah, I am feeling arthritis in my hands again all of a sudden that I have not felt for a few months...


The boys did manage to get all 16 of their new batteries back to the boat. They were not very exciting either!!


Yesterday it was back into San Juan to pick up Pirate Girl Kim who is helping me out for the next month or two...Brave girl! She looks perky!


I left the boys to putting sails back on the boat....


Of course not only did I pick up Kim but I also managed to go shopping so we brought more stuff back to the boat.....


Connor, our fair headed deckhand, apparently did not spend too much time in the sun this summer in California as he is BEET RED. Said he was not going to get Bazza to put sun tan lotion on his back and then Bazza may want some on his hairy back!!!


Meet LUCY the cleaning lady as I call her now... We are both cleaning ladies. All the training we have done in our life and I scrub.


Did make an awesome dinner last night, kind of like philly steak and cheese sandwiches. Got to keep the cleaning crews strength up you know! I have a bit of a problem now with shopping and "easy food" and things like the food at Costco are no longer my favorite as so much of it is not "real food" but processed and salt and fat which I can't and don't eat any more. So much for a lot of "throw in the oven meals"

Also went to the large grocery store in Fajardo last night. Believe me the produce section was not Safeway! Quite disappointing. I will get used to it again, it will just take a bit....


Had to laugh at this jeep, as it is mostly hand made from the bumpers and fenders being wood, fiberglass for a lot of the body and an interesting wooden back seat too!









Anyways, quick entry and time to get back to work...
