Out with the old, in with the new

Well almost in with the new.....

the view on the way to Gartside Marine for our engine replacement

Thank you for the tow Last Call!

We are in the middle of the engine exchange, the old engine has been removed and sold and the new engine is almost here....in the time between we have been working in the engine compartment and lazarettes, painting, making more storage spaces and mounting the antenna tuner for our ssb radio.
As the sailmakers are right next door to the mechanics shop we are also having spreader patches put on our sails to help them last longer.

Kialoa looking a little naked and with her butt up in the air.  With the sails off and no engine she is definitely not going anywhere for the moment.
