Tomorrow I will start to clean aft deck (cockpit area). I am mostly done in the engine room, and can start with the soft sides and floor covering.

And my brother will start on Monday the work with wiring and harness. It looks pretty empty in there. And I have found something I can use on the filthy softsides: Aceton. Have to be careful with that stuff, it "melts" the plastic and gelcoat.

Mark: On the starboard side I have 10 holes for the exhaust, 9 from the engine, and one from the Genset. On port side I have only 9 from the engine. Just straight holes, no collars.

The thru-hull genset exhaust forward of the engine exhaust pultiple openings on the starboard side and is a SEPERATE opening and has a special bronze fitting that blows the exhaust/water combination downward and aft.

Here is a small "upgrade" from this side of the swamp: The leftovers from Irene (the storm) made life a bit tricky......

(sic) Not everyone was lucky. This moose wanted to eat apples when the storm made him fly up in the tree......

And the work in "JollaÂ´ Mi" is in progress. Slowly. I guess we will be finished with all re-wireing in the end of next week. Pics will come later.

Guys! Better late than never; Happy New Year!! As you can see I am still alive. My health is improves all the time, and I have started up working again, working for living. As you remember I was driving a truck for the NATO forces between southern part of Norway and up to the far northern part, just along the Russian border.

The work on my Trojan have been on a hold for the last 3-4 months, mostly depend on my illness. I have been 6 weeks on a rehabilitation centre for heart disease, and I have lost more than 40 pounds in body weight.... This winter have been rather mild....coldest at minus 38 C. And only 3-4 feet of snow. And now I can feel the spring coming. Most of the wiring onboard the Trojan is done, and as soon the temperature rises over the freezing point I will start redo the interior. And I will supply with pictures as well!
