Final week of work

Its here at last our final week before launching and its seemed like a long time coming but now that we are so close to launching our sights are set on our upcoming adventures.  While i have been enjoying the daily comfort of an apartment and swimming pool (am going to miss it but clear waters are up head) the guys: Richard, Yo and Chart (Thai workers) have worked hard in the relentless heat on Ultimate Dream to have her looking sooo good. Not to mention our Professional friend who provided his valuable skills in the initial form work and design. His name must remain nameless to protect his identity in Thailand (politics of the yard and the industry). We are really pleased with the results and look forward to the many improved benefits our new extensions will provide. Our final pics will be posted closer to launching. So the remaining list of work: polishing, fitting the stainless steel new hand rails, new driving shade and new wind gen pole and antifouling. Smaller jobs include installing our old stove and having the new shade for the new driving cover sewn up. Below are pics of the work in progress over the past 6 weeks.
