She Floats!!

After five months of intensive activity aboard, (during which time Chimere has been parked up on the high and dry) including a re-build of the cockpit, new diesel generator, sails and a very long list of other things, we finally got Chimere back in the water late Monday afternoon!!

Greetings from MSM

After five months of intensive activity aboard, (during which time Chimere has been parked up on the high and dry) including a re-build of the cockpit, new diesel generator, sails and a very long list of other things, we finally got Chimere back in the water late Monday afternoon!!

It’s just 5 sleeps till we set sail from Westernport, initially bound for Sydney and from there to Pt Vila, Vanuatu in time to meet the first medical team in early July.

With most major jobs having been completed we are now in a position to tidy up in preparation for the stowing of food, dental equipment, spectacles, spare parts and donated goods – not to mention 1,400 litres of diesel and 1,000 litres of water.

Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement.

Smooth seas, fair breeze and She Floats!!
