BS1 04 – Back to Work

In mid-February I posted Instagram pictures showing the demolition of our wet head (if you missed that post you can check it out here). So that was a bit of a surprise, wasn’t it? One minute we’re just quietly posting little updates and then BAM, out of nowhere, I’m destroying an entire room! Where did that come from, right?

 

Then, the next thing you knew (if you saw our Instagram), we were on a little trip – but there was more to that trip than what meets the eye, and of course it was refit related! A portion of our trip was planned around visiting a certain area to meet with another Catalac owner, and complete the purchase of six used hatches from his own recent refit. The beauty below is his 12M, which he has put a lot of love, time, and effort into refurbishing:

 

So now that we’re back we can pick up where we left off, right? Um, well, no. While I would love to be writing a gratifying follow-up post right now about continuing the work in that room and sharing pictures of the progress, I can’t. Once again, work in that room is on hold while we focus on some other necessary tasks before we can circle back (see the post Outfit and Refit to better understand this seemingly squirrel-ish working behavior). It is disappointing but we’ll be back in there soon enough, and in the meantime I can offer a couple of hints at some of the planned interior design:

 

 

Did that help? Yes? No? Maybe?

 

If you’re curious about the original layout and what our refit re-design plans are for our Catalac 10M, you can find those detailed plans here. Revisions are made as the situation changes.

 

As far as the remodel of our wet head is concerned, when looking at those linked plans you will notice that when that room is finally completed it will no longer be a wet head. The shower is planned to be relocated to the same aft area in the opposite hull, where we will also remodel that current space into a complete wet room: with separate shower and space for wet-storage (foul weather gear and other items).

 

Presently we are continuing to focus on other on-going, super slow moving projects (literally watching paint dry in some cases), but still the progress continues and we will share some completed work reveals with some added extra special unique details coming soon, so stay tuned!

 

Also in the upcoming weeks I hope to take this timely opportunity to attempt to fully document and share our 764(+) nautical mile repositioning trip from start to finish, telling all of the untold stories (complete with more pictures never previously shared). So if you want the inside scoop about what really happened during this 2 month long trip, be sure to keep an eye out for those releases! Spoiler alert: losing our port side engine wasn’t the craziest thing that happened, not by a long shot!

 

Until next time, fair winds and following seas!
