Back on terra firma
----------------------

As sweet as it is to go to sea; it's always nice to come home.

It was a troubled journey, bad weather and a lot of breakdowns, but
we pulled through. After a long overhauling period you might think
the old ship was in "ship shape". But, alas, old equipment is not 
to be tinkered with. Better leave it alone if it's working.

Everything that was serviced leaked, was not properly connected or
otherwise not working. It took us the lion part of two weeks to get
her happy again. Old equipment is easily serviced and mended McGyv-
er style! 

The current situation in Europe was another consideration. Ended up
no problem luckily. 

Now some well earned leave to spend with family and my own broken
down stuff here at the firm ground I call home..
