We got to the yard this morning about 9:00 am and started on maintenance and decommissioning. I changed the oil filter, oil, and both fuel filters on the Yanmar and ran the engine for awhile using fresh water to flush the raw water loop. Loosened the alternator belt and the engine is put away for the season. I had serviced the diesel genset earlier but had not run fresh water though it yet so tried to start it - no luck. Pulled the access panel and bled the injector and it started right up - lucky again as I was not in the mood to start troubleshooting the engine today.
We serviced all of the below waterline thru hulls and removed batteries from everything onboard! Amazing how many items use batteries! Luckily we only have to deal with AA, AAA, CR2016, CR2025, CR2032, 357A! Did I say luckily!
We had our customs form completed for the items that we are bring home with us - makes reentry much easier and cheaper. Those items are now packed in our luggage.
Lesley took the freezer and ice box apart and we still had ice in the freezer. Was nice to have ice water during the day today.
I was able to get UV polish on 1/2 half the boat today and will finish that project tomorrow.
We got back to La Sagesse early this afternoon and after a nice swim and a shower are relaxing and waiting for dinner - the cook told me that the special this evening involves Lobster so I'm already licking my lips.
Tomorrow should be easier as we are putting things away, vacuum sealing bedding, getting things ready for our return. Perhaps another 2 days (1/2 day each and we will be able to kick back and relax) and we are close enough to the boat so I can run over and check on the last minute items that we might have forgotten.
