We have replaced the rotten wood around one of the fridges with solid hardwood and our new cockpit table should be ready on our return in about 2 weeks. The carpenters were very skilled but the price was high.. We got the stuff back from the welder and they fabricated a new exhaust elbow for the genset and a roller to facilitate launching the dinghy from the stern of the boat. All fitted well and were inexpensive.
The Volvo boys sorted the air pressure sensor problem. They were knowledgeable and their labour was reasonable but the cost of Volvo parts from the dealer can make a grown man cry.
The new AIS device that I replaced in August last year is faulty and is now in Bankok for repair or replacement under warranty and I should have it back soon. The stay sail is back up after a good repair at Rolly Tasker's enormous shop.
We had a good time wandering around Phuket with the Kilkea's and had a nice evening with Swen and Katrin on Solar Planet.
Off for a bit of cruising today, photos to follow.
