Now that INTREPID II is on A dock in Marina San Carlos, we began our efforts to untangle messenger lines - our lines stretched over the two years and conveniently tangled themselves around the mast steps. The halyards need to be raised, sails hanked on; the cabin below is still filled with canvas, sails, lines, tools and equipment. We have cleared the galley and cupboards to give them a thorough cleaning and freshened up towels and bedding left in storage in large zip-lock baggies.
Somehow, many items replicated and reproduced - so the local thrift stores will benefit as we sort and cull our stock of dishes, plastic containers and wine glasses!
We've unexpectedly been under the weather since Monday evening and have lost 2 days of productive work while we regain our energy. San Carlos has well regarded doctors and we were thankfully referred to one by our neighbours. Not great timing, but we should bounce back before Christmas.
