Tied to the pier in Yamba for some time, the Captain used the oportunity to do small and big jobs on board. We calculated that with TWO small children on board everything that was done brfore leaving Yamba, would be a great advantage...

| The original water tank in the bow was leak - the new tank was built in fiberglas and polyester as a part of the hull - and is also a collision room!! | ||||||
|
|
|
||||
| It is always limited with spacewhen work is to be done in a yacht - even worse when work is to be done in the bow. | We also had time for "normal" maintenance". | |||||
|
|
|
||||
| The windlass for the anchorchain was as new after replacing several parts with new ones. After a leek through the seal there was a lot of corrosion on some of the parts below deck... | Eirik is trying to find out what he can do with the ropes. | |||||
|
|
|
||||
| The sole in the passage through the fore ship was raised to give more room for stovage. | Sucking out diesel from the bottom of the tank gave no results. The tank seemed to bey clean.. | When mum and dad is working, Eirik runs "freely" around on deck. | ||||
|
|
|
||||
| Finally we got time to search for the leak - and to seal it. The leaking water ended up in one of the cupboards in the galley. | ||||||
|
|
|
||||
| Propeller inspection. | When tools is present Eirik wants to be there. | We replaced the seals in the saildrive whila hanging in the lift. | ||||
|
|
|
||||
| With Tanya babysitting also Heidi could take part in the boat work. | Correctly we suspected fishingline to be present - luckily the line cutter had kept the line away from the seals! | Good suggestions to keep a prop clean? | ||||

| With Heidi`s parents and Eivind`s mother visiting weused the oportunity to make a new cover for the dodger and for the bimini. The apartment our parents rented gave nice working conditions for the sewing machine... | ||||||
|
|
|
||||
| First we made a new template. Then we headed back to the appartment for cutting and sewing... | ||||||
|
|
|
||||
| All crew participated in the work for new dodger and bimini. We borrowed Nina`s and Pierre`s garage to finish the work after our parents left... | ||||||
