Just a quick update on the continued progress inside Nomadicat. The pictures were taken by Luke, the carpenter, and he really took his photo duties seriously — we should have made it a contest from the start.
Marilyn and I are eager to get on the water, but we're having to practice some patience. We are slated to leave Todos Santos by the end of June, and will spend July in San Francisco gathering and preparing as much gear and supplies for the boat as we can. We have arranged a Home Exchange on the Isle of Wight from July 20–August 20, so we're heading over to the UK on the 20th. The plan is still to settle into the boat and make it feel like home in early September, and hopefully make the first trip across the Channel and up the Seine to Paris. We'll see how it all pans out, but that's the current plan.
Anyway, here are the latest pictures of our progress.
This is a picture of the stern. The holes indicate the planned attachment of the hydraulic lift platform (mostly for the tender, but will also make a good swim platform and/or a way to drag up a body from a Man Overboard (MOB) ;-).
Current state of the galley; induction stove to go at far end and then a 3in1 convection/air fryer/micowave closest to this end...sliding glass doors to the outside are on the right.
This shows the location of the side by side refrigerator/feezer. Just to the right is the sliding glass door and the "wet locker" outside of the pilot house.
The new Miele Washer/Dryer is in already in the VIP hull...down the hull will be the bunks in the bow area.
