Getting going again after the major refit

We're getting ready to fly down next week to Finike to get Makarma fit for cruising again. In the last twelve months she's had an extensive refit. The 30 year old teak deck is gone, to be replaced by a more practical fresh white deck and there's new teak in the cockpit.  Since the mast and every single deck fitting came off, it was a good time to upgrade wiring and loads of other stuff.  She's now looking as good as we've ever seen her.



We're excited at the thought of getting going again after so long away. The ship's log shows our last sailing trip was in June 2014! Family commitments back in UK have kept us from spending time onboard for far too long. But the good news is the absence has made us realise we still want to do at least one more voyage before we get too old and creaky to enjoy it.  Roll on the season!
