We have exactly twelve days before Scott leaves for Grenada to Captain s/v Diamant. That is has inspired a twelve days of christmas style song...because frankly, Isla woke up at 5am this morning and I don't have much more in me at the moment. Here goes nothing...
On the first day of refit, my true love gave to me: a Y valve in our aft head!
On the second day of refit, my true love gave to me: two pumping bilge pumps!
On the third day day of refit, my true love gave to me: three working faucets!
On the fourth day of refit, my true love gave to me: four new DC outlets!
On the fifth day of refit, my true love gave to me: five fuses fusin'!
On the sixth day of refit, my true love gave to me: six fans a blowin'!
On the seventh day of refit, my true love gave to me: seven brand new hoses!
On the eighth day of refit, my true love gave to me: eight icky roaches!
On the ninth day of refit, my true love gave to me: nine pieces varnished!
On the tenth day of refit, my true love gave to me: ten electronics wired!
On the eleventh day of refit, my true love gave to me: eleven bins to stow things!
On the twelfth day of refit, my true love gave to me: twelve ordered spares!
...and so much more. This boat is a completely different boat than it was two months ago.
While this list has obviously been manipulated to fit into a zippy Christmas tune, Scott has been nothing short of amazing and with a little help from our friends, he has seriously kicked our project list's ass. It's incredible how proficient in everything "boat" he has become. It looks like we'll be good to go come January 21st. Most of our big projects are complete or well on their way to completion, and all we have left are piddly little projects that can be done underway if need be. It feels so good to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am SO proud of my handy hubs.
As for Isla, it looks like she might have inherited her parents athleticism. At seven months old, she is not only crawling around like mad, but standing up and balancing on her own! She even creeps and inches along furniture to get from point A to point B. She is so clever and funny, so inquisitive and deliciously cute but boy oh boy do I hope she holds off on walking for another few months!
