Well we bit the bullet and committed to another 6 months on the hard. We simply are not ready yet and although every part of our being wants to get Akupara in the water where she belongs, and out of the hell hole she is currently sitting in, she just isn’t ready and we simply do not have enough time to get her complete. We set out on this journey with the intent of having her complete before we launched and we are going to stay on that path for another 6 months at least. Our current goal is June 2017. That will be a respectable 2.5 years on the hard for a major refit and renovation. Still a fairly decent timeline for only being able to work on her on the weekends. Keep your fingers crossed that we can hit this goal.
Another 12 months on the hard. Damn. Oh well, she will be even better by then, and we will be able to enjoy her that much more!!
