We previously reported that the Jule III
underwent a major refit from July 2001 through March
2002. This week, we started the re-commissioning
process by removing the cover, sanding the deck, and connecting the various
doo-dads that we took off during the refit.
Of course, it rained once the cover was off making our chores the more
difficult. We should complete all of
our tasks by 20 March 02. We calculate that we spent
over a 1,000 hours working on the Jule III. It will be
well worth the toil once we are nestled in the Bahamas!
