We are back aboard DFN after about three months back at home in Canada. SK-Yachting has taken good care of her here at Marmaris Yat Marin in our absence. They checked her regularly and completed a few requested maintenance jobs while we were gone.
We have owned DFN for a full year now with very little time on the water; so, we are anxious to get geared up and get going. However, we do have quite a long “to do” list. The first week has been spent cleaning the deck and starting to get things in order topside–polishing chrome, putting up the dodger and the bimini, cleaning the windows, making a list and checking it twice…

Pretty deck! 
Nice dodger. 
Canvas up! 
No substitute for elbow grease.
A rigger from Silver Marine was on board to check the rigging. He was the same rigger that installed the new rigging about two years ago. He confirmed that everything is still in good shape. He did recommend washing and polishing the mast. I am not quite sure who will be going up there to do that?

Our return seems perfectly timed. Spring is definitely arriving. We have had beautiful and calm days all week.
