July 8, 2009My new first mate is Trond Hjerte. He is a Norwegian with a lot of sailing experience who has been working on Maryam almost non-stop for about a month. He is anxious to sail with me to the US.
Erik Aanderaa and his girlfriend Lilleanne arrive tomorrow to sail south with us.
Erik is the Norwegian who sailed with me from Amsterdam to Stavanger in 2000 and round North Cape (the northernmost point in mainland Europe) in 2002.

If anyone is wondering what I'm up to here; let me tell you:
ReplyDeleteI am filling the el. Genoa winch's gearbox with oil. To pour in the oil we would have to spend hours dissasemble the whole thing. I figured it would be better to give it an IV. As I could not get the IV above the patient I had to add pressure, hence the pliers. The whole thing was done in an hour. Mind you, the ceiling panel was already removed.
