Our home again

Fay and I spent a couple days in Panama City last week, shopping and provisioning New Morning for a couple of months in the San Blas islands. Then we returned to New Morning on Sunday to finish commissioning and repairs, with an entire mini-van full of parts, clothes and groceries. Oh and a couple bottles of champagne, rum and gin!

Each day has been two steps forward and one step back. But today we got New Morning really cleaned up nice. It was such a relief to have six months of "on the hard" dirt and dust scrubbed off her decks. The deck lockers were emptied, cleaned and re-loaded. The deck is now sparkling, the cockpit clean and she's feeling like home.

We still have more projects before we can get underway, but we're making steady progress.
