My radar fell off whilst sailing to the canaries, due to small rivets applied by pochon a sub contractor of the neel shipyard. This in turn required new cabling in the mast. One way or another the piping that holds the cables became buggered and then needed the mast to come off. I'm offering a no bull review of living with a new neel 51....i should mention to date that whenever there's a problem I do my absolute best to fix it myself. I'm rewarded by mostly arrogance from the shipyard or their sub contractors. Marina fees start to escalate while incompetence and arrogance remain at an all time high. This is typical of a La rochelle built boat i have been told. Thanks god the space and performance are good..... Since receiving the boat in August I have never been reimbursed for any money I spent on warranty repairs.
Back to the boat.. After five weeks away—and a little longer neglecting the boat while working on my book project—I’m heading back out to Wahine. The manuscript is now submitted, and while I wait for feedback, it’s time to give the boat some overdue attention. First job: pump up the SUP and check for leaks, so I can get back and forth more easily while moving Wahine further up the inlet to tackle some boat projects. It also saves hauling Mitsu’s heavier tender back into the water. Nothing dramatic. Just the practical realities of life afloat—tools, tides, and a bit of trial and error. Good to be back. And good to be somewhere warm again. #BackToTheBoat, #LifeAfloat, #PacificSolo, #BoatProjects, #SailingLife, #BurenBay #writersife
