Learned yesterday that the head of Cove Boat Works is on vacations until the 12th and no stuff is instructed to work on my MaRe. Richard knows since we met in December that the haul out will be on the 6. Jan.

What I didn’t know that it seems the start after New Year is pretty slow.

On the 6th, I met a Japanese who has also a company, Yamato Boat Worx (Worx is correctly spelled), which can work on the boat yard. I asked him yesterday to provide me nets for the railings and for the bow. Additionally I want to do the window repair with him/his company. It seems to have experience in the work which needs to be done.

In the meantime I also learned how I can get the 15 % tax return. I just hope it works even when I pay by credit card.

Today I have a meeting with Paul the “12 V specialist” with whom I want to make the work around the solar module replacement and maybe also the power supply for the Starlink system.

I still need someone for canvas and upholstery work.

Please keep fingers crossed that things progress well.
