The Volvo D1-30

The engine is in the boat but completion is still ? . . . a week away. I've got lots of boatyard stories to regale you with like the story of the sea cock, or the osmosis or even the boatyard art I have been finding about the place; but if you think I am going to show you a picture of the stern gland you can forget it!. This sailor is just too tired for lots and lots of stories. I am opting for the picture is as good as a thousand words routine. Really that is just a fancy way of saying photographs are better at describing things than words. Whoa talking of spilling a few over nothing. Just think I could be telling you about the ice cold beer from the fisherman's shack or the heat wave that lasted a whole week. Ahhh memories. I am two weeks into this adventure and I am finally into my boatyard routine. The coke bottle thang really isn't such a big deal. On the other hand I still have cockroaches. Sense a theme developing? Apparently they are very hard to get rid of.
