Ensemble - 10 June 2012 - Pago Pago - dry at last!
Ensemble - 10 June 2012 - Pago Pago - dry at last!
Greeting from yacht Ensemble.
We finally got Ensemble out of the water and on to the dry-dock on Friday - one week after we arrived.
We are fortunate in that there is a good American fibre glass expert here and he is taking charge of the temporary repairs of the damage. We are hoping to extract the Volvo drive leg and have that shipped and repaired in New Zealand - and all back in by the end of the week (fingers crossed).
But nothing is simple in the Pacific. The hotel is overbooked and we are being forced to move out of the hotel today. Evidently there is some sort of conference - and despite our reservation being confirmed on Expedia - it's not. So we will try and find something else - maybe a bed and breakfast (we have no water on power on Ensemble while it's on the dry). Maybe we can commute from Apia?
Still no response from Pantaenius Germany. Will give them until tomorrow - then escalate.
We are hoping if all goes well we will be away by the end of the week - but we have our doubts. Regardless we will meet the World ARC fleet in Musket Cove and say our goodbyes there.
Cheers
Dave & Magali
