Since Fabian and Silke left us we have been working hard on the boat, with the ongoing painting on deck and the cosmetic refit of the interior.
The last two weekends we have been doing refresher courses to be CAT1 compliant.The Sea Survival course was about Man Over Board procedures, use of lifejackets and liferafts…How to survive at sea! We made it!
The Off Shore Medic course was about high level first aid including injections and suturing but also CPR and broken bones management. We definitely hope that we won’t have to use those skills.
After the last day of course today, we headed to Kawau Island to sheltered from a strong northerly wind announced for Monday and Tuesday.As we arrived in the evening Bostaquet Bay was already busy with 4 other boats but we found a spot on the west corner of the Bay and enjoyed a drink and the magical colors of the sunset setteling behind the cliffs.
Tomorrow it’s Monday and believe it or not, like most of you we are going back to work…hoping that we will finish the refit of the back cabin by the end of the week. Boat life!
