And now, from the pilot house of Eliana comes the 22nd installment of Eliana’s Journal … finally. At least if we can get the Internet running consistently! What with routers, servers, WIFI amplifiers, firewalls, switches and all the other…
Suwarrow
We had a bumpy 5-day passage to Suwarrow and almost did not leave when some air in the main engine had it running very rough. When bleeding the air, the vent plug broke in two pieces and luckily, I had a close match in my spares. We had a few engine …
Weld on hinges.
On the generator room hatches X 4. Just add paint, and grease. Grrrrr.
Nest Building, part one.
Wendy Ann’s steering room, or bosun’s store is going to be our main bedroom. It’s the only compartment on board which does not have full head height so it seems like an obvious choice. Since the rebuild it has had no floor, or any bearers whatsoe…

We left Covered Portage Cove this morning and headed to the town of Killarney to hook up with our friends from Sturgeon Bay, WI. We weren’t in any need of provisions or pump out, but we used the pitstop to get a load of laundry done – and what better day to do so – […]
