Still playing catch-up on this blog!
So last year on leaving the boat, I travelled home via Malta to see my sister and family and to celebrate her 60th birthday and be there for a surprise party that her children has organised for her.

| Jane and I with the cake that her daughter had made, rather colourful to say the least! |

| After a great six months in New Zealand we came back to Fort Lauderdale where the work on the boat was progressing slowly. The next step was to lift the boat out of the water and replace the grounding plates for the fridge and freezer and the underwater lights etc. that were damaged in the strike. |
 |
| Having a weekend break down in Key Largo at the Konai Kai Resort, glad we saw it before the hurricane hit, I doubt if there is much left of it these days sadly, it was a perfect spot. |
 |
| On the hard, waiting for the mast to be delivered, we decided to have the crossbeam and the boom, stripped and powder coated to match the new mast. Here are the riggers and Daryl re-fitting it. |
 |
| Yeah!! At last the new mast has arrived, made by Offshore Spars in Michigan, it took the truck three days to get it to Florida on a massive long trailer. |
 |
| A tense moment, finally stepping the mast. We are actually beginning to look like a sailboat again. |
