We have spent most of the past 10 days getting Sabbatical III ready to get hauled next Thursday (Nov 19).  There is a myriad of things to do (the list has 165 items), some of which are easy and take only a few minutes, and some of which are complicated.

The problem with the exhaust riser for the Yanmar diesel requires a new one which costs half as much in the US as in Australia, so we will just bring one back with us in May and replace it then.<\/p>\n<p>It has become hot in the past few days.
