Life on terra firma isn't all it is cracked up to be, but more change is in the wind. Read on for the latest!

Saturday

How the week has flown...
Today was a finishing off kind of day.
I had finished the light shades for the guest cabin and reinstalled those. In doing so, I opened up another can of worms.
I had been putting off going forward to clean...mostly because it involves small spaces and heat.
I turned up the aircon and got to work cleaning all surfaces of mould. Nasty stuff!
I turned myself inside out in the small bunk room, and again in the guest cabin. The ceiling was in a dreadful state...again, I was wondering how much cleaning had ever been done of this boat.
So..4 hrs later, the bunk room and the guest room forward are all clean and sweet smelling.

I still have to replace the curtain directly above the bed which covers an escape hatch. the fan is left running 24/7 to create air circulation in an otherwise dead-end space. Without that air, the mould grows. All the white parts that you see are padded vinyl. It is all in excellent shape, fortunately, and now looks good as new:)

Warren finished off some other projects and now the radio on the fly deck works. We are hoping we can clean up some of the mess in the pilot house, tomorrow.
We might just get in the car and do some tiki touring, as our wet touring companion is out of order (dinghy).
So, more photos tomorrow, folks.
Night night.
