Restoration of order begins...

Stove Project: Day 12
After rushing about for 3 days to get all the gasfitting and certification done during the working week, we decide it's time to relax a bit - we laze in the early morning, writing emails, phoning friends. Then we start on the restoration of Nahani to her proper shipshape self. Mate puts all the stuff back in the lazarette hatch while engineer finishes off the galley area. Mate then puts all the stuff back in the galley cupboards. Earlier in the week the huge cookware cupboard was emptied in order to run sensor wires through it, but that lot got put back as soon as the wires were in place. Today it's all the plates back into the plate rack and all the myriad bottles, jars, packets, containers of this and that, that live in the pantry cupboard behind the stove. Much of this has been resident in the small fridge so once it's out, the fridge is filled with more appropriate substances (wine, bubbly, beer) and turned on. Meanwhile the engineer is on the subproject of putting more insulation material around the big fridge, shedding small fragments of polystyrene foam everywhere as he works. No doubt they will gradually spread across the boat and we will be finding them for weeks.
