Well, almost.
It’s about three weeks before the Chief Stewardess has her well-deserved summer vacation. We are in the planning phase of our first real cruise – taking us to father-in-law in Horsens, Jutland. The plan is to sail south of Fyn on the outbound trip and north of Fyn on the return. A total of some 220 Nautical Miles.
Il Capitano/Chief Maintenance Officer/Chief Engineer is busy meeting the hard deadline. We are about T-minus two days from the tipping point of starting to rebuild.
This season will be a trial run to see what works and what we need for smooth sailing.
We are starting from absolute scratch. Meaning no fancy modern stuff. The only thing is an automatic/integrated throttle/gear controller.
