Haul Out Days 6 and 7

Hi everyone,
Not good news today.  Relaunching has been delayed due to an imperial/metric mix-up with the new shaft seal.  Mea Culpa.  I've ordered the correct seal but it won't arrive for a week or more.  Apparently there are no metric shaft seals in Australia so we ordered online from the US.

Other work continues...

• Hull Identification Number (HIN) inspected and revalidated
• Registered the boat with the WA Department of Transport
• Took home several kilos of fasteners and electrical spares no longer needed on board
• Took home about 10 kilos of heavy tools no longer needed on board

While we wait for the correct shaft seal we hope to do some of the jobs which were on the to-do list for when back in the pen...

• Remove the old gas system tubes and fittings
• Clean, sand and paint the cockpit lockers and some the cabin lockers
• Perhaps even some varnishing!
