Back to the Boat, September 14

After a whirlwind 6 weeks back in USA (Stoughton) which included our Annual Summer Party on the lake, and also included one 5-day excursion for myself and my sister-in-law Maggie to St. Martin, we are returned to Valencia and the boat. I found the boat filthy and in need of total hose down and cleaning. The carpenters did a splendid job on our v-berth sail storage and our man “Pat” from California finally got our compressor to work on the refrigerator, but due to his travel times had to leave some extra parts laying around for us to decide if they were important or not. After our 2 days in the marina, putting everything back in order and re-sorting our available storage space, we think we are ready to push on.
