Rick is calling the 16th of August for splash-down. All planking should be complete by the end of the week, then it's up to the yard to soda-blast the hull, prep,seal and anti-foul.
Jonathan is working like a trooper, and now that the weather no longer blows through the boat he is working on making her liveable again i.e. cleaning the filth out.
As soon as she is back in the water we will be putting the spars straight back in, and Rick and Richard will be finishing off the last layer of the transom - Kamalii was positioned in the yard such that they could not set up scaffolding to get to it. It will be all hands on deck as we do all the systems proving, finish sorting the sails, deal with a number of final jobs, and of course provision for the trip. James is flying in on the weekend of the 11th/12th, and the rest of the crew will be arriving for splash-down. Almost there!
