Sami lightly sanded the base for painting and filled the water tanks. At the same time everything was arranged inside and on the deck so that nothing falls or breaks when we start moving. Grinding the bottom was quite a messy hustle and Sami was momentarily quite pitch black from the grinding dust. Too bad I didn&#8217;t realize taking a picture of him at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>Antifouling painting requires at least 1h of dry weather so we woke up really early to prepare for the painting. All areas where the paint will not come were protected and taped. After taping, there was a downpour and it was a bit exciting to see whether the tapes would stay in place. Fortunately, they did. The first layer was painted, yeah! The paint spread well to dry before the next downpour.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44526\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44526\" class=\"wp-image-44526 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2.jpg\" alt=\"Preparing our sailboat - Anti fouling paint in Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44526 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2.jpg\" alt=\"Preparing our sailboat - Anti fouling paint in Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript> Preparing our sailboat &#8211; Anti fouling paint in Raiatea French Polynesia<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type='text\/css'>.reading-box-container-3 .element-bottomshadow:before,.reading-box-container-3 .element-bottomshadow:after{opacity:0.70;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-3\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#000000;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:84px;\"><div class=\"reading-box reading-box-center element-bottomshadow\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-top-width:3px;border-top-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><div class=\"reading-box-additional\">\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">You don&#8217;t get tired of these landscapes \u2764<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sailing is still prohibited, and we are anchored in front of the shipyard.

I thought inside my head ?! What an Easter and a holiday,&#8230; you were closed for three weeks and only the fourth day this week.\u00a0On Friday, the dock then fell silent again and we were left with our mini-community in the familiar and safe peace behind the gates.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44551\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44551\" class=\"wp-image-44551 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13.jpg\" alt=\"Slow progress on sailboat repairs Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44551 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13.jpg\" alt=\"Slow progress on sailboat repairs Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-13.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript> Slow progress on our sailboat repairs in Raiatea French Polynesia<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><style type='text\/css'>.reading-box-container-12 .element-bottomshadow:before,.reading-box-container-12 .element-bottomshadow:after{opacity:0.70;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-reading-box-container reading-box-container-12\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#000000;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:84px;\"><div class=\"reading-box reading-box-center element-bottomshadow\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-width:1px;border-color:#f6f6f6;border-top-width:3px;border-top-color:var(--primary_color);border-style:solid;\"><div class=\"reading-box-additional\">\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 16; line-height: 1.5; --minfontsize: 16;\" data-fontsize=\"16\" data-lineheight=\"24px\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Greetings from the dock<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hello everyone, I hope your Easter has gone really well and you have eaten a really lot of chocolate eggs!

It was still heard on Good Friday that the mayor wanted to tighten the conditions for moving outside. Now on this island (not on any other island in French Polynesia) it is mandatory to wear a respirator and gloves when moving outside, Yes! Tahiti and Moore, where there are already more than 50 infections, do not have this compulsion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it was heard that here in Raiatea, conditions might be relaxed and little by little the island\u2019s shops and cafes would begin to open. It would be great if that happened. You would be able to move more freely even within the island and really go there to the grocery store or cafe together. If this happens then respirators and gloves will probably still need to be worn.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah! The ban on the sale of alcohol has been going on for a month now and there is no end in sight. It was heard from the shipyard security guard that the price of beer on the black market is therefore 80 \u20ac !!! So for an ordinary beer! The unit price is therefore a reasonable \u20ac 13.30 \/ 0.33cl can. A few small shops on the other side of the island have sold alcohol and made an apparently good account despite the ban \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44549\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44549\" class=\"wp-image-44549 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18.jpg\" alt=\"Super breakfast on bord out boat Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44549 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18.jpg\" alt=\"Super breakfast on bord out boat Raiatea French Polynesia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/miacreates.webxmastery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/800x600malaika-18.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript> Sailboat lifestyle &#8211;

Living in a boat is a little different when the boat is not on the water. Certain things can\u2019t yet be used like toilets or a fridge (we have a fridge to take cooling from the seawater, so it\u2019s still out of use). Dishwashing should not be done on a boat because the sink water that drips from the drain pipe into the ground directly under the boat can attract bugs from all over the world to eat the sewage. The boat is also hotter when it is not in the water. Fortunately, it has not rained so it has been possible to keep all the doors open.<\/p>\n<p>The shipyard has okay showers and toilets, where you can also do the dishes and wash your hands by hand. Water can be drunk directly from the tap, meaning there is no need to buy or prepare it. The shipyard also has a nice little community of sailors who take care of their boats and have received a lot of good and less good advice from them. It\u2019s really nice to have other people here in the same circumstances as we do.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers to everyone, stay healthy and hope the world is open again soon.

The boat has had three different owners so far and has sailed little. In terms of floor plan, our sailboat is the owner&#8217;s version, which means there is a bathroom and a large bedroom at the back. In the middle of the starboard side is a U-shaped kitchen and sofas. On the port side there is a map table and another sofa. The bow has a guest bedroom and a second bathroom. There is plenty of storage space.<\/p>\n<p>The boat is really well equipped for sailing as well as living. The sails are furling, there are three anchors, ropes and extra sails. The boat also has a Spectra water maker that makes seawater fresh water, really big solar panels and a leisure battery. All other equipment is enough, as the previous owner had equipped the boat for long sailings last year. The cabin is really spacious and comfortable thanks to its padding and round shapes.<\/p>\n<p>After the test sail, Sami said that the boat was easy and comfortable to steer and sail.
