Ep24: Ithaca's New Clothes, from white red to grey black, she looks like a different boat already

We never thought of changing Ithaca's colour, but today she is in a different set of "clothes". 😄 New coat for a new journey. In this episode, the final two important jobs are done, which are topside spray and antifaul painting. Super happy! ❤️ This is the reason that she needs to get out of the water. We are closer to our sailing deadline. Inside the boat, the captain is sorting out his fishing gears, some are old and many are new. Hopefully we will get enough 🐟 for the supply of protein in the ocean crossing. The cockpit cover seems in very good condition, but there are lots of stitches burnout in the sun. A hand stitching tool is very handy to repair it, but the progress is a very slow. By the way, we used nail polish to refurbish the black zipper. 😜 #ithacacruising #boatrepairs #sailboat #sailboatlife
