Soren Larsen Refit

A few weeks a go I collected all my belongings off the southern swan (and there's a lot of them) and moved onto The Soren Larsen.  From here Refit officially started. After four months cruising the harbour, there was a lot of work to be done on this old girl.  This included;

 Taking out a mast....and then putting it back in again...

mending sails....and then putting them back on again.....

 oh and putting an engine together, painting cabins and mending sails. There were a few mishaps (like a head cook dropping out and another stepping in), which is pretty scary when you're the next in line!

We worked long hours...

but the sunrise was one of the good moments of the day.

 After a lot of blood sweat and tears, refit is over. And now its time to sail away, out of 'the heads' and into the Tasman sea, all the way to New Zealand.
