Now that the holidays are well passed, things are back to apparent normal here in Cartagena. People are ready to work again, and things are taking a normal pace and routine. The holiday hangover here lasted a good week before you started seeing any real normalcy again. In town the xmas decorations are slowly coming down, and you can tell that some people just don’t want to let go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for me, I’m back in projects mode and things are in motion. I’ve nailed down a good paint crew and yard time for Andiamo’s latest refit. This coming Monday, Andiamo should be out of the water, for the third time in a year. And for about the next 10 days, be getting a nice new paint job on her hull. It’s much needed, that’s for sure. It will be really nice if only because I will be changing the color to a lighter color that will make her a cooler boat. The dark blue hull now, while very attractive in its original luster, just absorbs way too much heat. The boat stays hot because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also think that Andiamo’s new look will be a refreshing change. Other projects are in the works, but I want to get the paint job done first. I’ll be working on some other things while the painting is being done, just general improvements and fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s going to be interesting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
