[status]Still in Auckland. It has been a very busy 10 days. Mike disassembled the old engine and has been working with Eric the engineer from Ovlov (yes that is Volvo backwards :-) ) to fit the new one. Finally installed and running on Saturday afternoon. She sounds great. So tomorrow we have the refrigerator man coming, the chippy to put the galley back together and then sea trials of the new engine. Fingers crossed we will be almost in a position to get going again!
[weather]Weather forecast is looking favorable for a Wednesday/ Thursday departure - all being well on Monday of course.
