Tandem's new paint

Tandem is now out of the yard and we have moved back aboard under less than desirable living conditions. New Zealand has 220 v. electrical power but we only have 110 v. and are unable to fit a transformer so our cooler serves as a refrigerator. Water is not available in the bathroom because we attempted to change the faucet which evolved into a 4 day project due to lack of mechanical ability. However, the new ultrasuede salon cushions and dazzling navy and white paint job on the hull keeps our spirits up. There is still no mast or railing around the boat, progress is slow but steady.
