december 2011

December is traditionally the time when we take Prrrfection  ( read about our travels here.... )
 and  anchor out for at least  a week of fun and sun....this year we decided to rather work on the land.
Rain has also been forecasted for this period and it was an easy choice to make to rather spend the time on our own beach this year ...

 

We are still clearing the bush on the land , but used a few days to mark out borders, servitudes, etc...

This was a job easier said than done...

It felt as if all the boundaries and point of references we had to get to , were in the uncleared and bushy areas!

Picnics were a great distraction.....

Amigo is very happy to be spending 24/7 with his family....and on the beach and in the sand!

The beauty and tranquility of Naciriyawa made for special moments and bonding times...

I must confess...we spent as much time in the water as on land....

We had a  good time ending the year and awaiting a  year hopefully better for all.  Welcome to 2012....

All the best for 2012 !

fixing the oOPs !

Remember the OOPS?
the oops story...

 Claude started to patch together all the small broken pieces that he managed to find..... It was  a painstakingly   s - l - o - w   process....he had to wait for certain pieces to dry/cure before being able to move on to the next piece whilst  re-moulding the missing pieces...

 Starting to look a bit better and the new Bullbar/Crash bar is also starting to come along....

 Welding new iron beams to the front of the tractor..it will also act as front stabilizer weights

Bosse adding primer to the new crashbar...

Some more touch-ups....
