We managed to spend about 2.5 hours on Akupara today, despite the Admiral being a little worse for wear, and of course another large pile of stuff developed on the ground,
However this pile was destined for places other than the dumpster.
Jeepers there is a lot of lines on a 42′ Ketch! Filled the back of our Pilot.
We did some measuring of the countertops to try and get an idea of what we were looking at cost wise to replace them with Corian and off to Home Depot we went. The nice lady at Home Depot kindly advised us the they only sell Corian countertops as a package that includes installation and that unfortunately they would not install them on a boat. Apparently installing a top on a box is different on a boat than it is in a house. Not quite sure I understand but we still managed to get an estimate of about $85 a foot installed. She says that most companies will be about the same price.
In any case we started the year off on the right foot by being on Akupara and although we didn’t get a lot completed, we did free up some more interior space. Of course the other side of the coin is that we are running out of basement space. I estimate one more trip with both vehicles and we should have Akupara completely empty, and then we can start bringing down my tools to really get the work started!
