Back in Thailand

While i was still in the states Don was in Boat Lagoon getting the yacht ready for replacing our old engine for a new engine. It has not been easy getting all the work done on the re powering. With a language barrier and not having the right tools to do the job, Don has had to show alot of patience to get the job done right. While i was gone Don was able to rent us alittle apt in walking distance of the boat. With all the work being done inside there is no room for me to work so i spend alot of time at the apt. Luckily it is air conditioned, because it is extremely hot here in Phuket. These are just a few pictures of the work being done. We hope to be out of here by mid July. The work is very slow going.
