Maintenance Day in Roma

After returning to Roma with our booty from Granny we had to install some of it. Unfortunately the BBQ we bought was just too big for her to put in her bag ... bummer. The cost of a BBQ in Europe is double in Euros than we pay in dollars ... so we were disappointed. Anyway, we still had a new boat stereo, Marina had a new laptop, and various other boat parts (and 2 new tennis racquets).



Anyway, all this stuff needed to be installed plus we were due for an engine service so everyone pitched in. Ross, Jessie and Marina cleaned the boat inside and out while I did the engine service and installed the stereo. Over the next couple of days I also built some shelving for Ross’ closet (now he has no excuse for clothes on the floor) and for some useless space in the Galley that we wanted to convert to a place to store big things like cereal boxes etc.
Anyway, after a couple of days of maintenance, Tara is ready for the rest of the season. We filled up the tanks and got ready to leave Rome for northern Italy, France and Spain.
