Easter Sailing Trip Days 2 & 3 - An Aladdins Cave

We arrived at the marina at around 11ish after a late breakfast at Hotel J. We found the boat wrapped in plastic with its shiny new propeller, but found that the bottom had not yet been painted, which would be a problem if we planned to put her in today। A quick trip to the engineers confirmed that they hadn't planned to paint her till next week and so she'll be staying ashore for this trip.

Easter 2009 - First Day with our Boat


It was raining too heavily to take the plastic wrap off (for our sake not the boat's), so we spent the day inventorying and disposing of crap.
Stuff we found:

  • Over a hundred charts
  • An old Avon Dinghy (Circa 1987)
  • A large box of flares (12 years out of date - yikes)
  • A vacuum cleaner that looks like something from the Jetsons
  • Hundreds of tools
  • A giant axe & crowbar (Maybe this was a getaway boat)
