⁣NIZUQ is the name of the boat we can’t pronounce as we walk down the docks to our boat. Along the walk we are always looking at the boats in the marina to get any ideas we want to incorporate in our boat. Boaters are resourceful people and it is great to see their creative solutions in action.

After walking to the boat, excited to get to work on our boat, we were told that we can no longer work on it; we are in the way.

Although we were a bit bummed, and anxious about our involvement being limited even further, we headed to the beach for another beach day. Little did we know, this was the beginning of a two week delay for the sole replacement and the needed general repairs.

Terry, with his assistant Michael, did an amazing job adding in 2 additional hatches to the cabin sole. They use stencils for the cutouts, and lay new laminate on the floor. ½ of the cabin sole is new…. Fresh & Clean! They also remove the other half of the sole while we wait for plywood to arrive.
At the helm, instruments were replaced and installed, using every possible tool available, even delicate cinder blocks!

We were able to get good measurements to start planning where to place the solar panels on the roof, and layout their size in scale to the boat. We also were able to get an idea of what the solar arch would look like and plan its dimensions.

We ended up on the beach getting good vibes from the lady in the green bikini... she’s a legend!

Thanks for watching!
