Happy Thanks Giving.

It's a day late but officially Thanks giving in the States as we're a day ahead time wise here in Singapore...so I hope everyone is having a great day. The tradition for Jimmy is to have a Turkey dinner a lot like we have in England for Christmas but finding a turkey here was pretty much impossible unless we wanted to pay $60. Instead we had another American style meal of Cheeseburgers and Corn on the cob...not quite the same but still tasted great!

We're still on the hard and waiting for the strut to be fixed, after being hauled on Monday other than twenty minutes of grinding nothing has been done. Patience is a virtue and we are being tested to our limits at the moment. The good thing is that we've taken the time to do work of our own checking all the rigging and running into the city to visit Jimmy's favorite stores at the Sim Lim tower (every electrical component you can think of is sold here) to get pieces and parts to improve the electronics on the boat.

Being on the hard is never fun as we can't use the toilet and the heat is unbearable especially at night when were trying to sleep, so we're very thankful for the Pool and air conditioned lounge which gives us a break. How long will we be out for?...to be honest we have no idea and no one is giving us any hints, if they work they work but we're not holding our breath!
