Who works in the islands?

Wednesday 17th November

         The inside deconstructed, notice the bottle of rum, it won't be full for long!


The rain stopped, the sun came out and I got to work wire brushing the strainers, "wow does that sound weird", I was doing really well restoring the original look of Brass from under all the green oxidization when I dropped the bloody thing.  Thankfully it didn't land on my foot, but one of the long metal pipes broke off...
Another repair job, OH well what can you do, boat life is all about jobs. Thankfully Bob wasn't mad, he said it shouldn't have broken so easily, so it probably needed fixing anyway.

Inside Daisy we have all the seating removed, stacked in all three bedrooms (leaving no where to sit or sleep) the table deconstructed and spread about in various locations throughout the boat, all the floor boards up.  The galley counters are covered with the contents from under the seats, all in order to clear space for the people coming this morning to clean out our diesel tanks.

 "Don't worry" Bob said, noticing my dismay at all the chaos "once they have finished we can put it all back, and we'll have seating and beds again".  Yeah right, this is the islands who does he think he is kidding, no one ever turns up on time, or does what they say they are going to do.

I almost thought I was wrong when at 3 this afternoon they turned up,  to tell us it was too late in the day and they will be back in the morning AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
